The best way I see for people to avoid a scam is to ask for enough info to take a credit card out in the borrower's name.

The market for rhino horns is for the most part in Asia, although yes, there are people all over the world with enough money to buy it because it is "exotic", and because they want it, then again, what is claimed to be sold on the deepweb is the powder itself.

In China the horn is believed to be an aphrodisiac but mostly as a cure for convulsions and headaches. And acording to this link in the vietnamese use it as a drug to either party or get better after a night of boozing (http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/africa/south-africa/120823/rhino-horn-party-drug-vietnam-south-africa-poaching).

And here we see the horn is used to carve anything from knives, to other "medicinal" uses: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/rhinoceros/rhino-horn-use-fact-vs-fiction/1178/


As for red rock opium, it's claimed to be "real" opium, it is in fact, and incense that is being sold in most cases.


There's no getting high from a rhino horn, theres barely anything from it that could be used as actual medicine it's made from the same substance your nails are made from, so, cut your nails, shave them to a powder and sniff to see if you'll get high and get back to me.

I could use some tech help now that I see this thread.

I have a somewhat old desktop, not decades old, just crappy hardware which was up and running until a few weeks ago.


Whenever I plug it in to the socket it lights up, does what I think it's doing to turn on, but I suspect that windows is not going through the POST process.

The mouse isn't receiving power and neither is the keyboard. I also never hear the post POST 'beep' anymore and the screen always tells me "no signal".

I don't know whats going on with it.

The motel owner won the case against the bitch.

The peace of mind that your coins have not gone through transactions through the "deepweb" or "darknet".(mostly that they have not been used through Silk Road).

Or perhaps other questionable transactions.

I agree, we need less government input when it comes to scientific research.

Every single government penny comes with thousands of strings attached and that is something acacdemia should not be chained to.

Maybe their service goes above and beyond?   

Listen to Luno.

I wish I had enough BTC to have trouble turning them into FIAT cash.

Can you log on to the PC though?

The best I could suggest would be to put Ubanto in a DVD/CD and before putting it on your dvd drive make a small partition for ubuntu

Microsoft windows will want to be the first thing to boot though.

Perhaps that causes the most issues when installing GNU/Linux it seems to me.

Good luck friend and free yourself with free software.

Dwolla needs to go bankrupt, but them having allied with da guv'mint would mean they'd get a bailout.

If you do business with dwolla you're asinine.

This is a scam, no way in hell a poacher or someone with their hands on a rhino horn/horn powder would sell on the darknet.

It's like buying red rock opium. You're an idiot if you did.

To be honest I'd rather do it in $400 dollar installments through Bitinstant. I would never transfer that much money from a financial institution to another. No way in hell I'm goin gto leave such a paper trail.

Guess it'sback to the drawing board.

What's the best way to turn $30 thousand into Bitcoins?

I take offense at your claims, for Bitcoins are my life. 

No seriously, it pays my heart meds a bit.

I at the moment can only suspect one group, nay prophet.



One vision,
One purpose.

OMGOMGOMGOMG 18 BUX!

And thus we see the necropotence of a Lich resucitating the shambling corpse back to unlife. A rotting shambling carcass moving as if not decapitated.

Looks like a 3-1/2 in floppy... drive.

What we needed was a hispanic/white/black on  black/white/hispanic crime to really get the 24 hour news teams going.
