Eagerly waiting for it.

Yep, it happened a couple of days ago to me too. I contacted chat support, they told me to try again in a couple of hours, I tried and it worked.

I work with non technical people and I convinced them to leave windows for good 4/5 years ago. Most of them went to OSX and bought macbooks, a couple of them chose Linux (specifically Ubuntu and Linux Mint, which I'd say are even easier to use than Windows). All of them say they would NEVER go back to Windoze.

Not a single refund yet. Bitsyncom, care to explain what is going on?

Thanks for posting good news for a change. It looks like +10,000€ wires indeed clear faster.

I usually receive 9,915€ for those - I guess it's not only Gox, there are other parties taking commissions.

Do you see anything strange in it?

But you DO blow on the first date, right? You know Vlad is kinda of guy and doesn't like that.

I for one wouldn't accept any kind of military training, as I didn't when it was mandatory in my country.

If I'd live in a place where I'd feel that I need to carry a firearm because the risk of being murdered by another firearm is too high, I would just fucking move. I don't give a shit about countries, flags and whatnot, so there is nothing making me to stay in one place if I feel that my family could be in danger, and I know for sure I don't want my kids growing around firearms.

I guess we have different approaches to the same problem (insecurity).

Military rifles are carried in the open by security/police in many countries in the world, especially in airports. In every country in the world you have "government thugs" and security employees carrying guns, nothing to be surprised about.

?

Ukraine was not a sovereign country during IIWW.

Again, thinking that Switzerland role in IIWW is somewhat related with their gun policy is way beyond retarded.

And BTW, just to finish the Switzerland digression: the vast majority of firearms in possesion of Swiss citizens are directly provided by the State, with always sealed ammunition to be opened only in case of exercise or war. In Switzerland you won't see huge "gun centers" where retards gather on weekends to buy the newest ammo or the last model of the semi automatic rifle.

Again, the immense majority of firearms in circulation are just 3/4 types of firearm, army-issued weapons, you will see no thriving "gun" market and most important, no one in Switzerland is allowed to carry a firearm unless a) they work in security related jobs or b) they are en route to training with their unit. They just have to store them at home as it is their military duty.

Really don't get why some US libertarians take Switzerland as an example - it is one of the most regulated (in a "liberal" way) countries in the world.

Wow, Rassah, I'm sorry but you are demonstrating a total lack of knowledge of what you are talking about. Your claim regarding Switzerland is laughable at best (but I feel is pitiful because I'm sure many US "pro-guns" would agree on such a complete nonsense), the III Reich army could have crushed a country like Switzerland in one second, they were "spared" because they were neutral.

Also Spain, Portugal and Sweden were "spared", just because like Switzerland they where neutral countries and not of strategic interest (at least in that stage) for the Axis. In fact, the strategic interest of neutral countries is crucial. You usually do not "mess" with a neutral country in a world war scenario simply because "neutral" does not mean only "I will not attack you", means also "I will export goods to your country, you can commerce here, spy, and I can serve as a safe place for refugees of all the parts". In the case of Switzerland, it also meant "everybody can sell me their gold if they need liquidity", which is a very useful asset in a world war scenario.

Last but not least, the German army didn't showed much fear when they violated Swiss airspace hundreds of times despite of the continuous diplomatic complaints and the immense pressure of the Allies for this to stop (there were threats of Switzerland to be considered an Axis territory if Nazi planes continued to cross their airspace). I could go on forever but I would digress, I just tried to quickly show you how completely wrong is your vision about why Switzerland has not been involved in IIWW (and BTW, they weren't neither in IWW)...

Maybe you should do a nice trip to Switzerland, stay one month, and try to understand what is the relationship of its population with their guns, maybe you would be surprised.

Probably very accurate. Numbers don't lie, and Bitsyncom has more or less confirmed that amount.

Well, that update was made some hours ago and no one reported yet a refund, so let me doubt about "refunds are being processed". Maybe they forgot the word "soon" at the end of the sentence.

I'd say that if we see a significant movement in the market prior to the announcement, then it will indeed be (somewhat) relevant.

Well, everybody could acknowledge that both the USA and the USSR played a significant role in saving Europe from the Nazis thanks to the immense fire power of their armies, so it could be argued that thanks to guns Europe could get rid of Hitler, but its simply retarded as you can argue back that the German guns were what was slaughtering them in first instance. Pretty much a pointless and dumb argument if you ask me.

I'll try if we break $130 consistently and the spread with Bitstamp is %15 or higher - if the conditions are met I'll report back for sure.

I wouldn't say that 200 and something years is "very very long time ago" when talking about history... But I guess you can consider it "very very long time ago" if your country was born just 200 and something years ago.


Because nobody sane in Europe is proud of IIWW, in fact is one of the darkest moments of the last Century. Millions of people were butchered. Pretty obvious stuff.


You will not see any significant/relevant pro-gun movement in most of Europe. We could say that gun-nuts exist in Europe, but they are pretty voiceless and considered just crazy nutjobs. In the US gun-nuts have a very loud voice, and they consider themselves as a pillar of their community, a representation of the will of their beloved founding fathers.

What are you talking about? Just check this very thread, the OP is from mid-April and there are TONS of people complaining regarding wires (especially SEPA) that were experiencing big delays. Some quotes from the days in which I requested and successfully received my withdrawals:




And the list goes on, just check this very thread and make a forum search, you will see that there was already MANY complaints those days (some context: just few days earlier happened the Liberty Reserve shutdwon and 10/15 days earlier the Dwolla situation). Yes, the "USD hiatus" didn't happen yet, but I read the very same complains about people waiting many weeks, while it seems big volume traders (mrbigg; epsiking) report they are receiving their money without too much wait. I don't see how the SEPA picture could change after the "USD hiatus", in fact it looks pretty much the same: some people waiting +5 weeks until they have to cancel the withdraw and buy BTC (see sd quoted above, after 5 weeks and a half he finally canceleed and bought BTC), and some people probably receiving their money with no issues.
