Thanks for the advice TookDk, My brother works for one of those big government agencies that normally have 3 letter acronyms but in his case is just a line item on a budget. He is one of the top cyber security agents in the world and was the reason i got turned on to bitcoin in the first place. When he gave me my first bitcoin he gave me a computer machine that is a signing only offline cold storage vault that he built. beyond that i NEVER transact without escrow unless someone is sending me payment first.

About the only time someone tried to scam me was in the beginning when i was trying to buy $100k in bitcoins from a site called localbitcoins.com so i could use it to buy wood down the road, they tried to reverse a direct bank deposit but instead landed themselves in jail for the weekend and now have a court date and will probably have to pay me restitution as well.

If ever i have questions or am not sure about something i pretty much have Blazedout419 on speedial and he is always right there with sound advice and a solution. My brother may have turned me on to Bitcoins, but Blazedout419 sealed the deal and made me a Bitcoiner for life.

That is really good to hear Smiley

Reason I mentioned it, is that I chatted with a fellow bitcoiner here on the forum about a year ago, and he had a small webpage where he was selling different pieces of handmade art, all the income was going direct to his "online wallet" (BIPS), he was basically saving up all his income. BIPS was "hacked" Nov 2013, and he lost all. I never saw him on the forum again after that, I think he gave up bitcoin completely (sad story). I just don't want that to happen for another bitcoin business startup, where the passion is the art and not technology. It seams like you got the tech part covered quite well Wink

I agree with snarlpill you are an unique asset to the bitcoin community.
And I also have much respect for your knowledge about wood, I know nothing about wood but I can clearly see you know what you are talking about. Bitcoin really provide great opportunities for trading and establish new business connections.

I have realized that the type of business you do involves moving significant amount of money trough bitcoins, if you have not already done it, then now is the time to spend a few hours and educate yourself how to secure and store bitcoins so you will not be hacked or scammed, there are many options/strategies (e.g. dedicated computer, paper wallets etc.). Find out what is best suited for your business. You can find all the information here on the forum, but it can be a little hard to dig out because there is so much "garbage". Do not hesitate to open a thread and ask question or you can also ask Blazzed by PM for advice (I see you trust him, and he knows what he is doing).

The security of bitcoins is both a strength and a weakness at the same time, it gives you the freedom to be your own bank, but it also gives you the freedom to be stupid and lose your funds.

Good luck, I will be following your work Smiley

Actually, the speculators would piss themselves in fear if the satoshi btc has moved.

Are not Satoshis bitcoin adresses unknown (except the first days when Satoshi was likely the only minner)  Huh

Even the first days is a significant amount.
He was mining 7200 BTC per day in the beginning.

Why does Satoshi remain anonymous?

Imagine having a stack of 50 BTC paper wallets lying around, combined worth millions of dollars.
Going public would put these funds in great risk.

I highly doubt Satoshi is a single person anyway. If he can't back his own technology to be able to store wealth safely, What chances do we have for a mass adoption?

Doesn't really matter how well your private keys is encrypted if you have a 45 pointed to your head.

Lamborghini Gallardo Smiley

yeah I can only imagine how much the gas will cost. lol.

esp for only 1 mont, maybe $1,000?

Gasoline is the least of the expenses, getting one of these car to service is insanely expensive, $20000 for a service check is not unrealistic.

It is much cheaper to ship them to a person in the USA and have them get em graded.

I have considered that too, but in that case will I most likely be facing VAT (25%) and Custom (+3% on top) when the parcel reenter E.U.
Unless the contact person in U.S. know how to declare it right. I have been in contact with ANACS, and they have a form they include in the custom papers, which states that is only the value of the actual grading service that should will be subject to import fees, even though the value of the parcel is much much higher.

(Sorry cyclops for highjacking)

Not sure if these airborne troops are Russian or Ukrainian

From the link you provided, it would be resonable to assume that they are a Ukranian:

How much does the Gold-B MS67 go for these days?

Do you have one for me? ;P

Unfortunately not. I have the coin... but ungraded.
I am considering to send all my coins for grading.
Only thing holding me back is the shipping between U.S. and E.U.
