Edit: How is this?

Hi,

It worked fine, thanks. And thanks for your dedication too, not so much devs are still around after more than 1 year.

Regards,

Flam



It was my understanding that Tranz is not the original dev, that he is a committed community member who stepped up to the plate and delivered when needed.
Tranz is an exceptional force.
1482  Economy / Service Discussion / A Community Letter To MintPal / Moolah on: October 15, 2014, 02:50:32 PM
Let's write a letter to the owners of Moolah as a community.

Let's tell them how they not only took some of our money but some some of our time and energy.  Let them know how their reckless actions has harmed hopes and ambitions. And also give them an idea of how their irresponsibility hurt the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.

Take the time to speak your mind in any way you wish, many will likely just say that x-amount of y-coin was taken,  but others will be a lot more descriptive and colorful.

The scope of our letter is our mintpal/moolah experience which can extend back to just prior to Moolah's takeover to give the reader a contrasting picture of how mintpal life was before and after Moolah's takeover.

This letter will be published, in whole or in part, wherever we could get it publish.  Feel free to express your views via youtube video, a graphic, and/or a photo.

Please provide links to any other threads related to this concern even if it is not in English.


1483  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: mintpal keeping my btc? on: October 15, 2014, 12:58:27 PM
It's very unfortunate to see Mintpal going down with people's coins/money.

I had only 5000 dogecoins left there so I am safe but I still feel pain for other people Sad

It's time that we don't trust any exchange for keeping coins, just trade and withdraw immediately.

If everyone did as you suggest there would be no standing market, only auctions nevertheless  

1)  how safe is the wallet you transfer the funds to?
2)  if you transfer it to any wallet that has internet access you have a potential problem,
3)  is your computer wallet password protected?
4)  is your computer wallet hackproof?
5)  can your computer not get destroyed, vandalized, or stolen?
6)  can your paper wallets not get lost or destroyed?

please tell me that you have 2 of 3 multi-sig paper wallets and that each of the signers have at least two places to retrieve their respective codes, then I will know you have a safe wallet.

With that in mind, there is no practical way transfer in, out, back, forth and at the same time maximize security, you would loose so much time it would not be worth the savings of not doing it and getting ripped off a bit.  The bottom line is in the CC business you must leave room for lots of loss, regardless of how that loss occurs: via clicking error, stuck transactions, lost deposits, scams, hacks, exchange failure, all the way up to developer mismanagement or just missing.

The safest way to deal in the CC biz is the least profitable way, not just withdraw out of exchange everyday, also to withdraw out of crypto everyday.

I know there were people foolishly trying to get mintpal's bounty of 1.25BTC by doing 100BTC worth of trades.  In order to even consider that you had to commit many resources to the effort: lots of funds, lots of time, and lots of energy.   All of those people got screwed so hard they are mince meat right now.

Because of all of the scams, and all of the general dishonesty the CC industry is not growing as it should and rates keep falling instead of rising.

I've had a few chargebacks before selling btc on Ebay but I've never had an account freeze or ban. Would be interesting to know what actually flags an account to be banned, thought they were meant to be getting a bit more btc friendly?

Yes, they are getting more friendly, sometime enemies turn into frienemies.

as for the flag, and freeze, if most of your business was associated with btc that would have likely resulted in a freeze, if the majority of your money held was related to it, again it would could easily get frozen.

Red flags go up any time there is a dispute for any reason at all.

heck, a red flag goes up when you make a refund, if 3% of your sales result in refunds you will likely get a call from paypal, if they are for large values it could result in a freeze

ANYTHING, that fits into the MO of money laundering or drug dealing will easily get red flagged and frozen.   EVEN if the items involved are perfectly legal and everything you are doing is perfectly right.    

Paypal freezes account based on fear, accusation, and preemptive strike force.    After you prove that their fear is misplaced, accusations false, and preemptive strike abusive they they refund your money, if you do it too forcefully they close your account and return the money after 180 days.

Dude, read all of what you said in reverse.   

What you essentially said is that everyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law (and perhaps after all appeals have expired as well). 
...


That's not at all what I said. Dude.


If I wanted to quote you I would have done so, but I choose to paraphrase.  All actions, be they inside of or outside of court, prior to a finding of guilt in court are simply accusations, including any lodged by the press or anyone in this forum.

The press has a responsibility as a professional entity to act in a professional manner, it does not appear that they have acted in any actionable way.   If anyone thought the media was abusing that privileged certainly a demand for injunctive relief would have been sought -- was there any such injunction or restraining order granted or even filed against the media?

At this point this is all old no-one-really-cares-anymore news.

If you are outside then you do not have a reasonable expectation that your picture will not be taken. This is regardless if you are a "public" person (Huh) or not.

Newsweek took information that was available publicly, published a group of such information and made a conclusion (one that was likely faulty). This is also not illegal as anyone could find this information if they wanted to.

If Newsweek thinks that something is newsworthy then they have the right to publish it. They have an incentive to make an accurate conclusion regarding facts as if they do not then people will not take them seriously and will be unable to fill their advertisement spots  

I don't want to pose as an expert, which I'm not and I know nothing about US laws in this matter.
But based on laws in some of the European countries you cannot just publish someone's image and details, unless it's a 'public person' (politician, actor etc).

It's not about taking a pictures or publically available information, but about publishing it.
To use extreme example, would it be legal if some reporter took a picture of you and published it (together with your details) labelling you as 'possible paedophile' - conclusion based only on fact that he saw you walking near primary school? The common sense dictates it wouldn't and I'm sure you could easily sue them.

So think it's all down to whether Newsweek had evidence 'strong enough' to make such assumption. And that's for the court to decide.


Dude, read all of what you said in reverse.    

What you essentially said is that everyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law (and perhaps after all appeals have expired as well).  

Well, if you were to wait for that to report anything shady, suspicious, or the like, then you would only be reporting old news.  


You don't get a job working at Newsweek just because you worked on the Yearbook committee in high school, all stories go up the ladder before going to print.  

Any reasonable person seeing the evidence from the side of the reporter would be reasonably expected to draw the same preliminary conclusions -- "that might be him, I want to interview him".   After you, the reporter, get his side of the story you might be more or less convinced of the facts of the matter.  


Nevertheless, based on your belief that 'famous' people are fair game for the media, how do you go about proving that the dude identified was not in fact the famous person they believed him to be?  

How many times have people said they are or are not someone just to distract from the truth?

Armis, maybe there is a misunderstanding. You've asked to describe a "new coin" in an article, but as I've already explained, this project is an analytic tool, not a new altcoin. If you have any further questions, please contact us via e-mail. Thanks.

We are reaching out to various people, if the correspondence that was sent to you was originally customized for a 'coin' then there is the error -- sorry.

Simply remove from our message what doesn't apply to you then view it as it specifically relates to your product or service.   This is an opportunity to market your message, brand, site,  vision, and you.    I think your message has value that is why I selected you to be invited to include your message in our publication.

I love when I see this sort of thing, good luck with the sale dude.

If you are going to come forward and comment yourself, then there is no point creating a new account.


I'm not judging his technique -- I leave that to you pros.  I admire the ingenuity and whole idea of creating value from where none existed.

yeah i know, just seeing if there was willing to to trade, I'm in no rush =)

good because neither is paypal
1492  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Wtb btc with PayPal on: October 15, 2014, 07:07:25 AM
I want to purchase 1 btc or so via PayPal. I have funds left in there that I need to use. I have pretty good feedback  if that means anything. Thanks!

do a thorough search for what it is that you are looking for, you will see very many thread and hundreds of posts dedicated to the subject.

the bottom line is, buying btc with paypal is bad, and selling btc with paypal is worse

although paypal has acknowledged btc, and has indicated integration plans they have not implemented them as of yet and are still arbitrarily
freezing accounts (buyers and sellers of bitcoins and bitcoin related products and services).

so don't be too surprised if you don't get the opportunity to make a purchase of btc with your paypal balance.

1498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING: PAYPAL STARTED MASSIVE ACCOUNT BAN ON ANYTHING BITCOIN RELATED on: October 15, 2014, 06:00:20 AM
The post is from Feb 2014. Lot of changes right now.

All the difference 8 months can make.  Who knows what the next 8 months will bring?  Amazon?Huh A country using it officially?  Major a major corporation. 

But basically nothing really changes. Just some promises.

What changed? Paypal is still freezing accounts, just like before...

before they didn't know what bitcoin was and feared the technology,
now they know what it is no longer fear it but still see it as an enemy,
an enemy to keep close and stab in the back at every opportunity.
