What's to become of the poisoned stolen coins then? I sure as hell hope I don't start receiving them through bitcoinfog or something, then load a gox account and have them seize it. Or after awhile I guess they 'self clean'..?

Thanks, ran out of daily Interac allowances and needed it to test a payment system.
Also noticed all the other e-currencies doing lending don't have nearly the traffic/amounts as here. Like WMZ lending, PM/LR lending..
This has to be the biggest lending board anywhere now. Surprised all the lending blogs haven't seized on it yet

They will probably attempt to infiltrate SR/Armoury like the feds have done countless other underground markets. SR was even hiring publically a while back for database people, and if you've ever read up on previous stings like Darkmarket you know all about how they became admins there and took it down. That said there are no bulk transactions really on SR so why bother when they are already swamped with Mexican cartel madness.. elite ex soldiers trafficking by the kilo in every US city and hidden cells of assassins is probably a higher priority than a few grams in the mail
If I was tasked with the job of taking down the Armoury the first thing I would do is fill it with bogus listings and ship RFID tracked packages and pick up the buyers, spreading uncertainty in the market so nobody trusts it. To get at old sellers order their stuff, and trace the serial numbers and match it up with their shipping locations to narrow it down.
Can also social engineer these guys.. claim your weapon has a problem and you want to exchange it or trade or anything to get the guy to agree to receive a shipment for you. Now wait for his runner to show up to collect it, threaten them with eleventy billion years in prison, they talk, you go pickup the gun runner. There are countless ways to infiltrate the armoury I'm sure they're all doing it right now.
Europe/Canada/UK freak over anonymous gun shipments and will no doubt pressure the US to help them crackdown on shippers.... which really doesn't make sense since the worst Euro terrorist Anders Breivik bought all his weapons legally anyways (after failing to buy them illegally in Eastern europe)

It's a complete myth you can't easily get weapons in Canada. Right now the Canadian gun market is flooded with brand new Russian and Chinese SKS rifles w/bayonets (which apparently you can't buy anymore in the US, oddly enough) and you can buy them in lots of 10 for only $100 each, or $200-300 for a single one. Simply cut the pin in the magazine that restricts it to 5 rounds (i think it's 5 rounds) or mail order a banana clip and there's your militia rifle.
They aren't 'restricted' either, anybody with a firearms cert can get one, and getting a FAC is dead easy unless you're a criminal.
Canada is also one of the few places on earth where you can carry loaded weapons on an airplane going up north. There's a few carriers I remember that allowed it, since there's a good chance freakin polar bears are hanging around the runway in Tuktoyaktuk.
As for Canadians ordering from a site like this it's automatic 2 years in prison if you get caught with a loaded restricted weapon and no license. At least get your FAC, then order your anonymous guns it shaves down the sentence to misdemeanor unless you're a known gangster

slight problem: how do you ship clandestine ammunition? almost all international mail goes on passenger aircraft in the cargohold, and I witnessed them during my 8mos stunt after highschool as a ramp runner being run over, slammed around, forked by forklifts, and all sorts of other issues like it rolling around inside the plane and being crushed into the wall during emergency landing.
there's a good reason you're supposed to declare ammunition to the captain before they take off. then again, they do stealth ship Thermite out of Estonia and Hungary in the mail so I guess it could be worse.

Dwolla claims they don't need licenses, as they use The Members Group to middle man the ACH payments: Well it was legal, we just couldn't operate outside of Iowa. For the first two years we built out the platform. We did a sh*tload of testing on a small scale because legally we couldn't launch Dwolla nationwide. We spent two years inside of Iowa fine-tuning Dwolla with the financial institutions, building out some of the initial models, and trying to figure out how to legally do what we do.
How'd you find a legal loophole?
Moving money is an exceptionally regulated business. We're in Iowa, which is sort of conservative — I don't know if that helped us or hurt us, but in the long term I think it helped us. We figured to do this legally, we had two options: we could take in a tremendous amount of money and go out and get licenses, which is how most people do it. But we didn't have access to that kind of capital here.
The other option was to bring in really strategic investors, which is what we did. One of our investors is a financial institution; one is a financial services company.
Our investors do credit and debit processing for banks. So when you get a credit card from your bank, it's being issued by companies like them. Our investors are also distributing our product to financial institutions. So we've been building a payment network, and we can do it legally because of who our investors are. |

I've had an account with Dwolla for testing purposes since the second week they were online and just noticed I never did receive any notice of TOS changes, which is usually standard for everybody. Unless it notified you when you logged in.
Lol ninja editing the TOS then pretending nothing happened. Who in their right mind is going to allow their financial insitution to integrate FiSync, the supposed instant Dwolla loading and withdraw if there's rampant ACH chargebacks.

'Crooks' are already using existing payment methods to move multi millions in laundered funds they don't need bitcoin. They need fake ID, social engineering and some socks proxies. There isn't enough bitcoins in the world to satisfy the daily laundering requirements of a typical mexican cartel or even most nigerian scams

One guy I spoke to set up an exchange, but had to close it down because US financial services regulations made it impossible for him to develop it into a legitimate business. Is regulation the major obstacle for Bitcoin becoming more widely used? Does anyone have any idea what specific regulations are the problem?

Look up what happened to the people who ran e-gold and 'Liberty Dollar' (Bernard von NotHaus), and all the Liberty Reserve and other exchangers rounded up in the US circa 2005-2007. The US has always been poisonous to innovation in digital/alternate currencies which is why until now most were based in Malaysia, Russia/CIS and Canada The key difference with Bitcoin, of course, is that no government can shut it down because there is no central authority to target. Which is the true awesomeness of bitcoin, imho and total game changer in the DGC world |

They moved something like $567million worth in transactions just in 2009, and the price has barely fluctuated in 5 years. Why would they switch to a wild price crashing system monopolized by somebody out of their control that they don't get any fees from.
I still totally don't understand the point of wasting money in SL. Only time I used it was years ago to check out Ft. LongCat the evil krull like inter dimensional castle of memes the admins could never find.

I second this motion of a pegged currency to prevent speculation and price crashes.
I would also use it even if cleverly semi-centralized offshore setup to avoid problems, something like HD-money/LR but as above posts indicate looks almost impossible to survive long term

Paypal is also notorious for outright denying Indian applications even if completely legitimate. Check all the hosting forums like digital point for their epic paypal pain stories of seizing funds, denying ID scans, dropping accounts, ect.

Paypal has had those rules ever since Meg Whitman wacky republican nutjob bought them out. There are entire countries banned from using PayPal, as a global payment processor they have no future. Problem is bitcoin is too unstable for merchants to use still or else all of India and Pakistan would start using it..they go to creative lengths to get a paypal account just to punt some junk online like the rest of us.
I would never trust any US based payment processor. Once dwolla grows they will start clamping down with same restrictions to appease corporate licensing and anti piracy groups, moral minority crusaders, senator's looking for scapegoats ..ect
