People are greedy and selfish,
and they will rather buy coins from another exchange - so that they get it cheaper and then maybe come and sell them on No Bid.
The questions is again, who would buy coins from No Bid when they can get them cheaper elsewhere?

Nice,
so you want to raise 10K for who exactly?
Apart from that, couldn't you find a better free host?
Also, AFAIK in order to be able to run something like this you need to be a registered organization, and as ikydesu said, you need to identify yourself.
Sorry but until these questions are answered I will call you a scammer.
Once my questions have been answered I will withdraw that claim.

After all these assassination plots and arrests, Ross was highly alerted and he had a good reason to start hiding his identity as much as possible. I think he discussed this with VJ and it is possible that VJ made that interview for Ross. Possible that it was VJ who started SR2 with the nick DPR2 or TheRealDreadPirateRoberts.
It is also possible, that VJ planted the journal on Ross computer.
Then it is also posible that VJ was an agent, hence never "found". Also, the same shit happened in SR2: http://www.wired.com/2014/11/feds-seize-silk-road-2/An undercover Homeland Security agent was paid $32,189 worth of bitcoin for work the agent did for the site.

OK, don't bash me if you think this is stupid but.....
Did any of yous considered the fact that Edward Snowden is VJ?
I won't bash you and welcome all theories but I think it's stupid... What Snowden revealed has a much bigger impact. Everyone is affected. His revelations influenced world politics and economics. Silkroad, even though it made millions, was a small niche in the global drug trade. Only a very small percentage of the population have even heard of it. Even smaller the amount of people who used it. Honestly, I don't think the NSA cares very much about SR. Maybe only if they want to give a new employee a training project. Ross is a dreamer who thought he can change the world through his idea of a free market. And make lots of money, have fun. He has this careless and free attitude. Snowden is a pure idealist. He wants to improve democracy. He is convinced something on a large scale goes terribly wrong. He knew he has to give up his freedom and economic benefits for his believes. Fair enough. However, what makes you think that SR was not a 3 letter agency project to begin with? It has been said by Ross before that he is NOT the original creator of SR and apart from that we all know how the 3 letter agencies "work" right? Thanks for your input though. EDIT: You do know that most hackers smoke pot or do some kind of drugs right? What makes you think Edward didn't? Ross IS the original creator of Silkroad. He admitted that he has created the site. VJ helped him to make it more secure and changed the appearance and philosophy of the site. (Source: Ross' journal) Looks like Silk Road got VJ's and Shabang's attention about that time, when the Gawker article came out. They both registered at SR June 27 2011. On August 16, DPR was looking for unix admins. I am pretty sure VJ was one of the first to get that job. He closed security holes and he also started to influence DPR. (Journal: "chatted with VJ again today. Him coming onto the scene has re inspired me and given me direction on the SR project.") He was controlling practically everything inside SR a few weeks after registering his account. One question, that comes to my mind now, is that about the vulnerability in bitcoind, that VJ presented to Ross. I never heard of a vulnerability in bitcoind in 2011! Does anyone know more about that vuln? Does it have a CVE? Could it be, that this bitcoind story was made up by VJ to gain control over the monetary system of SR? You sure? http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/08/14/an-interview-with-a-digital-drug-lord-the-silk-roads-dread-pirate-roberts-qa/AG: What inspired you to start the Silk Road? Not just philosophically, (that’s covered in lots of your posts on the Silk Road forums) but where did the idea come from?
DPR: I didn’t start the Silk Road, my predecessor did. From what I understand, it was an original idea to combine Bitcoin and Tor to create an anonymous market. Everything was in place, he just put the pieces together.
Apart from that, WHY on earth would ANYONE keep a journal of their criminal activities, especially not coded in a form only they will understand? EDIT: From the articleCan you tell me anything about the original creator of the Silk Road? How did you meet? And did you acquire the Silk Road from him in a financial deal of some kind, or simply take over the project?
He was well compensated and happy with our arrangement. It was his idea to pass the torch in fact. We met through the site. I had discovered a big vulnerability in the way he had configured the main Bitcoin wallet that was being used to process all of the deposits and withdrawals on the site. At first he ignored me, but I persisted and gained his trust by helping him secure the wallet. From there we became close friends working on Silk Road together.
Wait, what? Wasn't it VJ that found the vulnerabilities??? |

I only reposted because some people might not read this subforum and might read some other one
The very definition of spam. Yeap, the OP is trying to advertise his website. Didn't anyone tell him that he can also add the freakin link in his signature? |

What makes you think Edward didn't?
Sure, anything is possible. I just think it's so very likely that some character like Ross creates SR. Everything fits: young guy, open-minded to drugs but not too extreme, living in San Francisco, interested in teachings of Austrian school of economics, internet savvy, free and careless spirit. Further, DPR was anti-government and he created things like the Book Club. The government would neither have these ideas nor like to promote them. This also is a big difference towards Snowden. Snowden is not anti-government. He just doesn't like that an agency is capable of acting without the control of senate,congress,etc. I've watched many interviews with Snowden and in my opinion he seems pretty focused and analytical. I don't see a creative and hedonistic person but rather someone who acts very rational and organized. I wouldn't be surprised if he prefers to endure a headache instead of taking an aspirin. Just my impression, though. Nice! Can I ask what your profession/activity is? |

What if Goat is Variety Jones!
Who is this "Goat" guy? Yeah good question.... Who is he? Sorry wasn't really into SR, but this story with VJ seems interesting. A lot of his post have been edited & removed. Worth reading back though. I like Goat honestly and he doesn't strike me as the type of dude who would have shit to do with this. I'm sure VJ and Goat have nothing to do with each other besides the average Bitcoin shit. (Goat maybe mined some of VJ's coins maybe) Peru? I heard that Peruvian coke is almost as good as Colombian one.... Apart from that, in a quick glimpse, he has high trust rating yet his latest good trust rating was from you, apart from that, what does rating in red mean? That's means it's a bad thing right? He got one from Gregory Maxwell aswell that mentions child pornography - not cool, not cool at all. Haven't gone through his posts yet but I will when I get some time. That being said, I doubt he is VJ. If he was he wouldn't be asking for people to "fabricate" things. He would have done it himself. None the less thanks for the link EDIT: His last post was on: 03 June 2014... Like I said I am not an SR person, so when did SR2 got busted? |

THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL OPPINION - nothing else. Jed is a crack/pot head that thinks he can make money just like he did with Ripple. - (what happened to all that cash btw?) Ripple was shit to begin with. So he locked him self up in a room doing (f*ck knows what... crack, pot, whatever) the new thing called stellar which is the same as Ripple. Jed, no CRipple or CRapple or Stellar or whatever will get you out of that state of mind..... Deal with it. BTW: why did you require your users to identify themselves with their facebook account - which should HAVE BEEN active? Crypto is to keep things to your self (as if in private Jed - not to YOURSELF - as in to you as Jed). Piece of shit currencies you have created..... (I refuse to call them crypto-currencies because: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography)

Just wondering what you guys think was this just a project that he made whilst being drunk in univeristy and decided to release it and it caught on fast or did he know that it was going to get this big?
NO!Only stoners can create something like this. Drunken people produce fights and car/driving accidents. And to answer your question: YES, he/she/they knew exactly where this is heading, hence the need for privacy and the need to dissapear after the FBI took notice. Hope that helps. |

Here in my country, Brazil, bitcoins are not very well understand. Especially in the areas not economically developed.
They know about some people that became rich because of bitcoins and want give it a try, but companies that work with bitcoins here are not completely focused on that and i couldn't find a good help about accepting bitcoins in small business.
I know that bitcoins are great for online stores or any asynchronous store (pay now, receive some time later), but what about the stores that need to accept the money and return a product right away?
Lets say a business that have a line of people and the service is immediate, like a food truck or a supermarket.
How does you confirm the transaction? If the transaction have no confirmation it could be double spended and voided, if you wait for confirmation it could take up to 30 minutes for just one confirmation.
Doesn't ignoring confirmation create a potential flaw?
How can i make a receipt of a bitcoin transaction, i saw somewhere in this forum someone saying that tx are not the same as receipts but can't find that topic now, can someone explain?
A Brazillian with a Greek name? Apart from that, if you are worried about double spends then ask for payments from coinbase and blockchain.info customers. I think coinbase is safer though I have never used it before. But to be honest with you, a sandwich truck should ONLY accept cash  Also, I believe that with new tech coming out there will be no worries regarding confirmation times. E-wallets will take care of that - much like Paypal but for bitcoin. |

Or you can do it through virwox,

EDIT: you can also use localbitcoins.com to find a buyer near you for face to face transactions
