OP admitted that he's sourcing those watches from Macy's and that you have to have a drop/delivery address. It's quite clear that he's carding these goods hence the low price point. It's all profit as far as he's concerned. Macy's will eventually find out that the payments they received were unauthorised and the delivery addresses associated with those orders will automatically be red flagged. Probably not worth the risk of you ask me. You could buy apple watches on eBay for under $200.

Similar 'projects' have popped up a lot lately all 'promising' insanely high returns. Take a look at the games and rounds section along with the services subforum to see what I mean.
Ponzi schemes are a form of financial fraud and even if your 'project' does come to fruition it was be long lived. Ponzis crash once the payments stop coming in and that tends to happen a lot sooner than you think due to everyone knowing that the later they sign up the less chance they have of recovering their money. In this case, your domain name makes it even more convincing...

Please read the OP before messaging me.
I need someone who has photoshop experience with photos of people. Not looking for graphic design or anything of the sort.
Thanks

Question.... Does the QR code scan.......

I saved the image from the OP to my camera roll on my iPhone.
When I open the photo in QR Reader it automatically detected the QR and showed the public key so I think it's fair to say that it does  Cheesy
1745  Economy / Economics / Re: Physical or Paper Gold? Why? on: February 12, 2017, 12:48:11 PM
Guys I have read all your comments but still not satisfied. You all say that paper gold is not gold itself, just a promise; so having physical gold is more trusting even there is a possibility of theft.

Maybe I understand something different when saying paper gold.

Gold account at banks such as HSBC, BNP Paribas or ICBC is really less safer than keeping the gold at home?? And even if these accounts are guaranteed by the government up to $30k in each account?

Exactly.
Although banks are often a 'safe' bet and are insured up to a certain amount, they are far from flawless. Take Lehman Brothers or Northern Rock as examples. Following the financial crisis they went under.
If you have the gold safely in your possession then no matter what happens to the bank, you still have that gold.
Say someone had $50k in gold in an account held by a bank. If the account is only insured up to $30k and the bank goes bust, then ultimately he'll lose $20k as he's only insured for $30k/$50k held by the bank.
Had he kept the $50k of gold in person then he'd still have the $50k of gold whatever happens (not accounting for loss/theft).

Hi,
I'm looking for someone with photoshop experience to do some work on a photo.
You need to have experience with editing photos of people (facial features etc).
If you think you can help please send me a PM for more details and provide a price as well...

1747  Economy / Services / Re: Buy From Aliexpress | TinyDeal | DealExtreme | GearBest Using BTC With us | on: February 12, 2017, 12:32:07 PM
Are you an individual offering this service or a business? (Your wording in the OP suggests both).
It's definitely a good idea and something people would be interested in, but how are you going to go about dealing with trust?
Would you be prepared to use an escrow for every transaction?
If so, I would be interested in ordering something but I'd need to receive the goods before releasing escrow (a tracking number alone wouldn't suffice).

Thanks
1748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Two newbie questions about anonymity and pump and dumps on: February 11, 2017, 11:24:22 PM
What pumps & dumps are you referring to?
With alts, pumps & dumps are a common occurrence but the market price behind BTC is actually determined by multiple factors. Financial legislation for example has a big impact on it.
When BTC rises, it's then normal to see other alts rise too.
If an alt randomly skyrockets then it's fair to say that it'll fall just as quickly as it rose.

Back to your question, how is BTC a pump & dump?
1749  Economy / Economics / Re: Physical or Paper Gold? Why? on: February 11, 2017, 11:18:11 PM
Paper gold is just like a banknote. You do not have the gold in your possession but the note/paper entitles you to a fixed amount of it.
When you buy paper gold it is like buying a bond. The paper isn't worth anything but the gold it is attached to is. If you would want to cash out it would be more difficult. If something were to happen to the issuing authority then your paper gold would be worthless.
If you had the physical gold in your possession then you actually have something that is worth its weight in gold according to market prices.

You should probably move this to the collectibles section as you'd et more interest there.
However, given your trust it's fair to say that escrow would be a must in such a transaction unless you had another way of proving the authenticity of the silver.
Posting pictures would also be a good idea so that users can get a fell for their design and condition.

Do you have any other laptop models for sale? I'm after a 13/14" and preferably with an i5 although I'd take an i3 if the other specs and price would be convincing enough.
Thanks
1752  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Auction] 3D laser engraved Crystal physical bitcoin on: February 10, 2017, 12:13:59 PM
Nice idea and nicely made. I've seen these before but would never have even thought about making one like this. Very creative if you OP!
How would the private key be stored? Wouldn't you still be able to see it if one side was covered?

Hi,
Any update? I'm still interested in this but have t heard back from you despite your recent online activity. I'd appreciate if you could respond.
Thanks

The brass 1BTC and the nickel 5BTC are the ones that people would be interested in. The aluminium blanks aren't really worth much and Mike was still selling rolls of them until recently.
Those two alone would really determine the price. You can find out rough prices by looking at past sales of redeemed coins on the forum. I'd say anything between $100-$200 would be fair.
1755  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTB] 13-14" Intel Core i5/i7 Laptop on: February 06, 2017, 01:40:08 PM
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a laptop.
Must be in new or very good condition and fully working.

Desired specs:
13-14" screen size.
Core i5/i7 processor (must be above 5th Gen).
Minimum of 4GB RAM
SSD

Something like the Razer Blade would be nice, but for some reason it carries a hefty premium in the U.K.
Shipping to the UK is a must and die to taxes importing from the US isn't worthwhile.
I can buy any laptop online so prices would have to be a little more competitive than those.

Thanks:)

Where are you shipping from?

Edit: I will take 2 spots. Can send payment tomorrow or once the raffle starts filling up.

Do you have the physical card that you could send by post or is their digital only?
Are you able to provide a proof of purchase? If yes, then what is your rate?
Thanks

Where are you shipping from?
Where are the cigarettes made and what language are the labels in?
If you have any L&B and Marlboro's with English packaging I'd be interested in buying in bulk.
Thanks
1759  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: motorcycle loans using bitcoin? on: February 05, 2017, 02:56:03 PM
Are you referring to a financing agreement/payment plan? If so, I highly doubt it given that the BTC price fluctuates a lot. Since most dealerships deal in fiat, they'd want to ensure that they get the full price that the payment plan would guarantee them (monthly payments of (x)USD multiplied by (y)number of weeks).
Since BTC isn't tied to any USD value there'd be no way of guaranteeing that they'd get the total amount of USD in BTC over (y)weeks so I can't see why any dealership would take the risk of accepting BTC unless it was for a one off payment sale.

As recommended above you could either send the wallet contents to a new address and then encrypt that or alternatively you can just delete all the old backups seeing as you wouldn't need them anyway.
