1601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Torrent freak news -Paypal Bans Usenet Providers Over Piracy Concerns on: November 25, 2012, 04:05:43 PM
https://bitpay.com/terms - BitPay probably would at the first sign of any trouble also back out of anything like that.

Only having Bitcoins is very often probably not enough for merchants (see Wordpress!) or resellers, they would likely prefer services where they get USD, no matter what the payment is in (ideally you can pay in any real or virtual currency, up to WoW gold and all the merchant gets is a daily transaction with all the money converted to USD that came in).

The difference is that it is not required to use BitPay to use bitcoin.  I prefer using BitPay as they simply my online store, but if BitPay was (forced) to stop accepting certain merchants the merchants could continue using bitcoin manually or through their own server.  That is a huge difference VS Visa/MC.

10.25 shipped to 32301

Sorry, just the motherboard and display go for that on ebay (sold listings) let alone a whole working unit. 

I can go down to $179 but after that I will just sell locally.

1606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Bounty - 10 BTC] Help identify ANY address from the list on: November 22, 2012, 03:53:08 PM
I counted 130 BTC addresses.

@ 10 BTC each at the current exchange rate that is a bounty of over $15,000 USD.

I'm also curious to know why this information is so valuable.



I don't think that is the intention of the bounty, I view it is 10 BTC for information, not multiplied by each address that is found.

Is there any chance you guys will be adding girls t-shirts?
We stock almost all of the shirts we sell (s-xxl), but we can make any shirt in custom for girls it will just take two extra weeks to ship.  If you want, order the shirt in mens and leave me a note and we will do it. 
1608  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Im searching the guy from this forum that claims he can sell btc safely for PP on: November 22, 2012, 02:44:47 AM
I already did and found TradeFortress. But he only writes that he will be angry when one makes a chargeback. So im not sure if he is the one i read about before because that person claimed that he will win each dispute or chargeback. That would be ideal if he could manage this.

Thanks!
Sebastian

That is not possible with paypal.  Even when shipping a physical item with/containing BTC chargebacks can happen though they are less likely.

It's not ridiculous.  They always light up Gaza a few months before an election.  Look at history.

Both sides want to fight.  Civilians on both sides pay the price though the civilians in Israel pay a far lower price per populous.

I will never understand why anybody want, or try to force right to work ..

if somebody needs your work.. he will offer this job..

if somebody dont need your work, every normal thinking people know, there is no reason for this job postition...

a lot of states are getting stranger and stranger  Huh

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law

The title of the law can confuse people.  The idea is that you have the right NOT to join the union.  Unions are much weaker in right to work states because people can not join the union and still benefit from the unions bargaining power.  States with right to work laws have more job growth then states without.  Non right to work stats have more union jobs and  generally have higher pay and benefits that non-union jobs of the same level. 
1613  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: This is an ex-change (cryptoxchange closes shop) on: November 19, 2012, 10:42:02 PM
As I have said before, when you limit withdrawal options you get unusually high sell prices.  They look great until you realize it is hard to get money out.  The high price deters anyone who wants to buy coins and the lack of withdrawal options deters anyone who wants to sell coins.

They refused to offer a Dwolla or Paypal withdrawal option and that was the big problem.  The bank fee was too high making the exchange less usable for anyone doing small volumes. 
1614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The First Montréal Restaurant to Accept Bitcoin on: November 18, 2012, 01:04:00 AM
The thing with these early adopters is we shouldn't try and convince them to adopt Bitcoin because of what it does but why they should care about Bitcoin in general. The early adopter probably will not see an immediate benefit to offering this payment option, hell it might even be an extra cost they absolutely can't afford right now.. But they might want to adopt it because they believe in the reasons for why one should use Bitcoin and maybe in time, with enough early adopters they'll start seeing some benefits of extra customers ect..


So I guess what I'm trying to get a cross is don't focus on the financial benefit for these early adopter businesses but rather on the value of innovating their business to themselves with a potential of a benefit far off in the future..

i agree with you,

but i think restaurants will see a huge benefit for taking bitcoins...

look : http://en.restoboom.com/intro?redirectUrl=home.action%26ref%3Drestomtl-top&useDefaultCategory=true#

many business are willing to give 50% off simply for buying their product or service online using Groupon.

I'm sure their is some hassle involved with working with Groupon. it might actually be more of a hassle then dealing with pit-pay.


Groupon is a bad deal because they take 1/4 to 1/2 the revenue they bring in.

If you offer a $20 value for $10, you get something like $5-$7.50, and not right away either.  It really only works for very high profit places or restaurants desperate for business.  

Taking bitcoin is not about saving 3% for a restaurant, it is about bringing in customers who would not come otherwise.

1616  Other / Politics & Society / Re: John McAfee Wanted For Murder - I knew there was a reason not to trust McAfee! on: November 17, 2012, 01:15:53 AM
I used to live in Belize and as I recall murder is illegal there also. Of course the accused is going to say that he is really in trouble for not donating to an orphanage.

"Don't look at that look over here instead!"  Roll Eyes

There is a history he had with the police there.  They basically raided his place looking for something earlier this year and all they found is out of 10 guns, 1 had incorrect paperwork.   This is all after asking for a 'donation' that he refused to give. 

I am not sure that Mcafee is innocent, but it sure seems like a set up to me.

Wow.  This is pretty big.  I just love this statement:

"PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries, and many credit card companies have similar restrictions. Some are blocked for political reasons, some because of higher fraud rates, and some for other financial reasons. Whatever the reason, we don’t think an individual blogger from Haiti, Ethiopia, or Kenya should have diminished access to the blogosphere because of payment issues they can’t control. Our goal is to enable people, not block them."

The conspiracies of present days are a result of work of people who Hitler tried to remove from society murder.
