1801  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Has anyone looked at this: http://www.btcrobot.com Is it a scam? on: August 15, 2013, 07:48:53 PM
I've come across this site:

http://www.btcrobot.com/

Looks slick and well produced. They are selling a Bitcoin trading robot for $150 +

Is this real or is it a scam? Has anyone tried this service / system?
too bad EMA based trading doesn't work, and makes less money than buy-and-hold. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261086.0

probably because the transaction shows as "generated" rather than a normal transaction.

I'd love to see more coiners buy these. The "Buy with Bitcoin" button has been bumped off into that tiny test link  Undecided
They're probably running some AB testing to see which gets better results.

You get both steam and origin keys for the games. Bonus: origin and steam keys are not tied, so it's like having 2 keys! Keep one copy for yourself and give the other to a friend! All proceeds go to charity, not EA.

Bitcoin accepted (via bitpay).

just going to ruin some profiteering scum's day

When I have purchased electronics from eBay, Mint always meant "With some scratches". If the item has absolutely no scratches, then the word "Like New" is used.
Ebay isn't filled with the most intelligent people around. Sellers are always trying to come up with "better" descriptions and titles, so we often end up with oxymorons like this.
1808  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] iPhone 4 32GB GSM Unlocked Worldwide Ready SHSH Blobs Included Jailbroken on: August 13, 2013, 07:10:12 PM
Mint to me has always implied the opposite. Not like new, but not damaged either.
Not too sure about electronics, but for collectables, mint always meant prefect condition.
Mint condition is an expression used in the description of pre-owned goods. Originally, the phrase comes from the way collectors describe the condition of coins. As the name given to a coin factory is a "mint", then mint condition is the condition a coin is in when it leaves the mint.[1] Over time, the term "mint" began to be used to describe many different items having excellent, like-new quality.
Variations

The term mint condition is often used to describe a collectible item such as an action figure, doll, or toy that is as good as new without any scratches or other damage. The term is also widely used in philately,[1] record collecting,[2] and comic books.[3]

Abbreviations include:[4]

    NRFB – Never removed from box
    MIB – Mint in box
    MIP – Mint in package
    MOC – Mint on card (For accessories sold attached to a card)

When describing trading cards, perfect condition is used to describe the condition as it is when pulled from a pack, mint would be new but opened.

CONDITION: It is MINT. Noticeable scratches on the front and back [...]
"mint" implies "like new".

Information on basically everything under the sun is public knowledge in libraries and on the Internet. That doesn't stop universities charging significant tuition for instruction.
I'm calling it a money grab because the information is such low value (you can get the same information on bitcoin.it wiki, feel free to prove me wrong), and you're trying to profit off of it.

See what I said above about libraries and universities.
Except they're offering more than just a ebook. They offer instruction, tuition, certification (diplomas), and more. You're offering a pdf with the same information from the bitcoin.it page. It's the same scummy behavior as this ebook. hint: the "info" is the 2% cashback card they promote on their checkout page.

length doesn't imply quality or informativeness.

I didn't say it did. Actually, I tried to keep reading time short which I think is a plus.
That's funny, considering you were boasting about how "the book has several chapters" compared to the wiki page.

I can probably condense your ebook into 3 points
[...]
Feel free to prove me wrong.

I have no interest or need to prove anything to you. I'm not sure why you seem so hostile. I wrote a book which took me nontrivial time, research, and thought process and decided to put a price on the finished product. Nothing here is inconsistent with the free market. I was glad to make another good available for bitcoins.
That's just a strawman, and appeal to tone. I never said your behavior was against the free market. I'm against your shameless profiteering. How about you use your writing skills to improve the bitcoin wiki instead? It will do a lot more for the bitcoin ecosystem than a rehashed wiki article as pdf. Come to think of it, your site's autopayment script is more valuable than your ebook. Try selling that instead.
1812  Economy / Digital goods / Re: How to be Anonymous with Bitcoin on: August 13, 2013, 02:47:10 AM
Actually I didn't consult that page at all when writing
It still doesn't change the fact that the information is public knowledge or common sense at best.

and the book has several chapters.

If that one page was enough information on the topic then there wouldn't be any confusion expected on the topic, which isn't the case. Plus I have a forum for discussion/questions as well.
length doesn't imply quality or informativeness.

I can probably condense your ebook into 3 points
  • avoid reusing addresses
  • keep inputs separated using separate wallets or coincontrol
  • use mixers
Feel free to prove me wrong.

The ebook is about $2.90 so if that amounts to a money grab then... okay. I feel the subject is an important one. Thanks for the encouragement, though.

-dbcache=<n>           Set database cache size in megabytes (default: 25)

dbcache is from the bdb only days, and sets the bdb cache size last I checked.

With that now just the wallet file, not much need to set this.

Hmm I guess the only way would be to create a PayPal account, send funds to it then simy trade the account via escrow. The new holder can then send the funds to themselves and change the password/email.
No, they'll recover the money by clawbacks.
