Cool service, the only thing that would stop me from using it is that the fee is too high.

In your opinion, what would be a more reasonable fee?

Generally, horses are not permitted to bet on their own races.

You said "anyone". Be more careful with your wording next time.

I think you will need to clarify what you mean by "in business" before anyone will take you seriously.

I predict your service will fail and be gone within 45 days. Anyone care to bet against me?

I'll bet you 5000 BTC. Care to put your money where your mouth is?

Oh... he left. Well, if anyone would care to pass the message along to him. I'd like to make some easy money.

Everyone is responsible for what he mails. You are never going to qualify your cash recipients as honest, and you are never going to have force of law in international trades. When your cash is lost to thieves, as it certainly will be on occasion, you will be obligated to replace it. Everyone is responsible for what he sends. Nobody is responsible for what he fails to receive.

When you request a withdrawal you have to agree to terms of service that says exactly that. We aren't responsible for lost mail.

Your idea that any of us are competing suggests to me that you don't know what you are doing. There is too little profit to be made here.

I've already addressed this. Profit is only one possible motive. The satisfaction of acting superior is another possibility. It's a fallacious reasoning to assume that just because there are little profits to be made that people won't be vindictive for other reasons. Some people just like acting like they are king of the hill.

And who the hell is going to pay you $15 just to mail a letter?

That price will definitely go down. I figured that it would be better for me to charge more rather than less until I figure out exactly how much gas/time/effort etc is going to be required to keep this up. It's also to cover possible international mail costs too. Eventually I'll have separate rates depending on the country.

Thanks for your comments.

Why do I get "insuficient funds" when trying to bid with my 5 dollars?

It should mean that you tried to place a bid that would require more than 5 dollars. What was the price and amount you used?

An LLC will not protect your personal wealth from a criminal charge/investigation. Ask any lawyer.

Who said that it would? Nobody. That's a straw man argument. It protects my personal assets from civil lawsuits and business debts, which is the point. Also, before you ask "what possible lawsuits or debts", that's the point. I don't know. If I could predict the future then I wouldn't need to worry.

I don't operate 'in the dark'. I operate as a full liability man, standing on my own two feet. I, personally, have no use for "limited liability".

Then you have no business giving anyone advice on how to run a business. That's an unnecessary risk which is not the kind of thing an entrepreneur should be doing.

Also, I thought Bitcoin was about freedom. It doesn't make sense to me to intentionally enter unnecessary contracts with the state, tacit or intentional.

It's only unnecessary if I don't mind putting my personal assets at risk for lawsuits or debts, which I do.

I won't do business with you because I don't trust your reasoning when a disagreement arises.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, I think that if we took a vote from people that weren't biased, they would agree with me. This is also not representative of my business disputes. He's not a client and there has been no business done here. That's hardly a fair metric. It would be wiser to see how my actual business dealings turn out. It's hard to see how a dispute like this could arise. Things are a lot more clear cut with the actual business. Either you sent money or you didn't. Either I sent Bitcoins or I didn't. Where's the need for reasoning?

Your "hook" is just a way for you to retain your anger towards me.

I'm not angry at you. I don't trust you. I think you're intellectually dishonest. Other than that, I feel nothing. I guess it's easier for you to convince yourself that I'm just a "hater" rather than someone that sees through your bullshit. The worst part is that even if you weren't really making that claim, you won't admit that at the very least it was poor wording. No, I'm just a nitpicker because I want to be angry. That's logical.
1789  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 04:11:01 AM
you say you take your reputation in a very serious manner, but from where I stand, nitpicking on the exact wording of a forum post by anyone, let alone a generally trusted member, will not net you much positive karma.

I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to be trusted as a business. If you won't do business with me because you don't like me personally, that's a bit silly but it's your prerogative.

Besides, even if I let you off the hook, you still lost that point of the argument since you're now forced to admit that the only fake complaints will be from obvious trolls. Either way, you lose. *shrug*

Well, if that's how you have to justify this in your mind to stop this pointless argument and move on, so be it.

Oh, I didn't say I'm letting you off the hook. I just pointed out that you're not really gaining anything by weaseling out of your statement. There's no way that your statement makes sense except interpreted in one way. Nobody is keeping you here though. You're free to leave if you don't want to debate anymore.
1790  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:51:10 AM
Why would I infer that trusted/established members of the forum would collude to "joe job" you? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Why do trolls say half of the idiotic things they say?

You said that people with 5 posts would be an obvious "joe job" but then went on to say that "the real problem" is if I have "established/trusted members of the forum complaining". So, even if I give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean what you said, it's still hardly a nitpick because those sentences look pretty darn related. It was at the very least extremely poor wording on your part.

Besides, even if I let you off the hook, you still lost that point of the argument since you're now forced to admit that the only fake complaints will be from obvious trolls. Either way, you lose. *shrug*
1791  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:36:49 AM
Wow, what a "nit pick". Those two sentences are two different points. Did you want me to insert some white space there? A few carriage returns perhaps?

In the first sentence I was remarking about how easy a deliberate "joe job" would be to detect. In the second sentence I was referring to *real* complaints, not fake ones.

I don't believe that for a single minute. The second sentence is a direct continuation of the first. You know it, I know it and anyone that can read English knows it.
1792  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:25:18 AM
In that statement I was referring to *real* complaints of lost cashmails from your premises by trusted members on the forum.

That's demonstrably false. Here's the exact quote:

As for fake complaints, I don't think many people have much of a reason to do that but that's really just a risk that any business faces, even yours.

Oh sure. When you have piles of people with less than 5 posts under their belt complaining all at once it is easy to see that it's a "joe job". The real problem is when you have established/trusted members of the forum complaining, your reputation is toast.

The quote you were responding to begins with "as for fake complaints" and you used the phrase "joe job", so how can you claim that you were talking about *real* complaints?
1793  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 02:58:23 AM
Maybe I'm just biased, as I have had conversations with madhatter in the past regarding myself taking the European front on the cash in the mail exchange he runs and I generally know madhatter is very trustworthy and fair, but reading through this thread and the other one he points to gives me absolutely no indication that he's trolling, trying to scare you or your clients off or anything of the kind. And I for one appreciate his doing this in the open, as I am always considering my next bitcoin related move and all experiences, good and bad, are very helpful.

I've been a member of these forums slightly longer than you have so I'm more than aware of people's reputations. The fact that he's a competitor and being so critical was the first red flag. The second red flag was coming up with ridiculous theories like, "The real problem is when you have established/trusted members of the forum [falsely] complaining, your reputation is toast." which makes absolutely no sense and seems like a very trollish thing to say. First of all, why would trusted forum members do that? Conspiracy? Second of all, that applies to any business. A bunch of trusted members could start claiming that Mt Gox ripped them off. It's completely irrelevant and doesn't belong in a serious discussion. He's either making a fallacious argument because he doesn't know any better or because he's trolling. I'm not frowning on his experience. I'm frowning on his conduct, making inappropriate comments like above, being condescending and sarcastic when I've been nothing but straightforward. So, yes, if you can't see that then you may be biased. If he had contacted me in private first or made a thread without criticizing me personally (the amateur remark definitely crosses the line) then I would have nothing but thanks for him. I'm sorry if I take my reputation a little too seriously but that's all I have to go on and when people start making long rants that could be interpreted poorly by potential clients, I feel the need to respond.

I'm done trying to help you.

Good. I don't need "help" that's dripping with sarcasm and presumptions.

You can see my account is not a fresh account created as a duplicate to steal your money, as I am "graingert" pretty much everywhere

http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/tag1g09/

If you can prove that you have access to that website, placing a text file that says "bitcoin2cash", sending me an email from that domain or something like that then I'll allow it. Otherwise, it will just encourage people to look for other people to create accounts for.

Thanks, that will work.

When you realize how little profit there is in exchanging, you'll see that my concerns for your safety are genuine.

Profit isn't the only possible motive. Pride, arrogance, pedantry, etc are just as motivating. Anyways, if you really want to know how you can help me then you can stop trolling my threads. If you want to warn people of something, start your own thread and leave my business out of it.

That's rather disappointing as I signed up for this account before I saw the thread Sad

I appreciate that but unfortunately I also have no way of verifying it.

I am getting an "Invalid withdrawl amount!" error when I try to withdraw BTC

It should be fixed now.

Remember, if you didn't create your forum account before the time this thread was created then you aren't eligible. I'm sorry but I have to do this to deter the same people from creating multiple accounts.
