I don't know how I'm on Trusted Feedback
You're not. Unless one of those is your alt and you forgot what account you're on. Haha, nope. I'm there under Trusted feedback. I'm there along with three others: Boelens, hilariousandco, Tomatocage, malevolent. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=377174.msg4040564#msg4040564Just posting the following for a newbie from the above thread: It's urgent I believe. I downloaded the latest version for use with my Fermi GTX 470, and thought "Hey great, 2.5 khs more is better than nothing." My fan runs at max, so I couldn't tell, but when I glanced at my GPU temp a few minutes later, it was 98-99c!!! Far over the max of 95c and my personal max of 90c. Too long at this rate would kill the GPU, and this new version needs strict labeling as KELPER ONLY excepting a few possible cases.  Thanks! ` ~ EDIT: I keep having "duplicate post," or "you just posted" when it is not and I did not. Here is the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0

Ahhh the long con... very good.  That is how you get the most out people...lol Hi mindfulmojo, what means "long con"? Thanks A 'long con' or 'big con' refers to a more complex, planned con, whereby 'the mark' is sent to get more money or used to get more money than is just on his person. But I'd say this looks more like a short con: A 'short con' refers to taking 'the mark' for all the money he has on his person. It's an opportunist scam that isn't pre-planned to any great deal. |

IMO, Bitcoin is not a Currency, but is a Digital Commodity that people want to own. Bitcoin is no more a currency than Pogs or Beanie Babies are currencies.
And since people invest their money into Bitcoin with the hopes of turning a profit through Appreciation, I would consider Bitcoin an investment as well.
It is a currency. Is the USD and other fiats no more a currency than Pogs or Beanie Babies too? |

You don't invest in USD or EURO or etc... you use them. Bitcoin is a currency, and a tool. It wasn't meant for people to make money. People made money holding Bitcoin while it is in growing phase, is simply an abnormality. Once Bitcoin reach user saturation, there probably will be no more such occurrences.
Also Bitcoin may forever be an obscure experimental internet currency, that may never make it mainstream. There are no guarantee that it will become mainstream. So user saturation MAY already happened.
You can invest your money in EURO or USD or any other currency if you want. You can invest your money in potatoes or tulips as well. There are plenty of people who make good livings off trading various currencies with each other. Yes, BTC is a currency, but people are investing their money in it by speculating on the value. At BTC's peak I was up nearly 1000%. I plan on holding it for the future in the hope that it does become a mainstream or more wildly accepted currency, which I believe it will, then I will begging to spend it and/or possibly sell it for GBP. I think people can use it or do with it what they want, and that includes using it as an investment or even a get rich quick scheme. |

What are you a marketplace for exactly? It doesn't say anywhere.

im surprised to see bitcoin still at 600 thought it would go much lower !! like 250s
Why did you think it would go lower? Or is this just wishful thinking  ? 4X + as many coins going into China compared to USA right now. http://fiatleak.com/Absolutely amazing to watch this for a while. Looks like money is once again flowing into China BIG. I wonder how many coins are coming out of China? |

Saw someone asking whether PayPal ever sided with the seller - it did once in my case. I had sold a working laptop to a person who first claimed that I was scamming her since she couldn't find the shipment tracking using the number I gave her (turned out she wasn't even using the correct site), then once the laptop arrived, she said it worked for the first day and then stopped working. I sent proof that the laptop was working, that the customer had already accused me of fraud, that the same customer had confided in me, that she had a lot of telephone bills to pay (she had sent me payment 4 days after the purchase was complete) and that she herself had claimed that the laptop was working when she first received it. PayPal decided in my favour there
How did you prove that it was working? Just by what she said originally? Paypal can and does side with the seller in rare cases, but you need to make sure you're covered with as much evidence as possible. You must always get a tracking number that needs a signature from the recipient that can be checked online. I've always wondered what would happen if a seller claimed he had received something but that it was just an empty box with something to weigh it down etc. How could the sender prove otherwise really? At the end of the day ebay just comes down to blind trust really, but it is so easy to scam people on there, especially when paypal refund money without looking into the case much. I had taken pictures of the laptop before shipping, with the camera date at the bottom and additionally printscreens from the working laptop itself with the calendar opened. Of course, these can all be faked, but it always helps to have such evidence backing you up. PayPal is buyer-biased at times, but for example right now I have an ongoing dispute about a laptop I received which isn't working (ironic...). PayPal is reviewing the claim - they asked me to send them a certified note from a third-party qualified technician that the laptop is not working, such as an invoice for repairs, etc. Again, easy to fake, but it's not an automatic payout by PayPal whenever a buyer opens a case. Will Paypal refund you the money it costs to check it over? Maybe the seller should have taken it to a qualified third-party technician to prove that it was in full working order before they sent it? I suppose it could've been damaged in the post, and you could probably claim on the insurance with the carrier, but I wonder what proof they require as well? |

i truly believe that satoshi will have a lot of weight in what he says if he comes back. people will trust him. I think every word he says can cause sadness or happiness in exchange market.
I'd be on the contrary. I'd be suspscious of why he's suddenly come back. It would be interesting to hear his reasons for doing so. |

I'm a little confused about how this Trust thing works.
Stunna has loads of positive feedbacks, but only few show on his profile: Trust: 2: -0 / +4(4) . He only has 4 from 'Trusted' users, of which I am one. I don't know how I'm on Trusted Feedback as it's only the first feedback I've left so far, and I haven't even got any feedback myself yet.

I keep thinking that this is a good moment to keep buying and keep accumulating, if u have a part of your roll that u can afford to loose.
I got in with 10k€ at 670 now i deposit another 10k and will buy around 400$ and if keep going down will keep buying ... until i reach my personal limit, i mean the amount that i decided to invest maximun in Bitcoin and that i am willing to risk..
And this should be the way of thinking, i mean there are chances to hit the jackpot here so in my opinion it's whort try and keep buying now that the price goes donw.
Being aware that it can keep going down and there is a chance to loose all the money
Not really, it's not going to hit 0$ in few hours. If you observe the market and it hits below 50% of your initial investment it's time to bail out. If it goes up you can always buy back and reclaim some of it. The only way you could lose all is by being careless... or hacked  U dident get my point .. what i was trying to say is that there is a possibility to lose a huge part of your money with Bitcoin, but on the other hand there is a decent opportunity to hit the jackpot and have like a 30-40x from what u invest now .. so i guess that the opportunity it's really good. True, I'm also very positive about BTC. It's really easy to join the fun and leave with a small profit. It jumps +\- $100 or more daily so even if you put in 1k you can earn about 20% in just few hours. Now is a great time to buy in. Just hold it and wait for the price to regain, then sell when you're happy with the profit. Buy now at $600-ish, the sell at $1000 or more. Easy profit. |

I hope you didn't pay $1000 Torus... thats quite the loss
PayPal refunded me the whole sum. It looks like he did not even reply to make a case. I have no idea why he wanted to scam me using PayPal in the first place. Well, he may have been using a stolen account, or he could've created a new account just to scam. As soon as he gets the money he'll just either send it to a different account, buy something with the money, or withdraw tit to a bank account, so he's still probably up whatever you sent him, so it's a very easy way to scam money. |

I like the humor put into doge coin but in all reality if it becomes that big of a success it would definitely discredit cryptos as a whole. It's a great thing to play with, I've even mined some but meh it shouldn't be anything more than a passing craze which will end up a a pumpndump coin like so many others.
The humour will soon wear off when people get bored of the same old jokes and realise they can't really buy anything with it. |

Have I done something wrong since I haven't received payment yet? Count me in Current posts: 142 BTC: 169vLADXC9AyXDsw3LXvXQK98FciLJmPPh You seem to have only made 3 posts since you claimed on the 5th. I believe you can carry them over to this months round. |

It's incredible how a rumour or good/bad news can affect the price of currencies (and also stocks & shares etc). It's really quite alarming too, especially when the information can turn out to be false or inaccurate.
Actually, it's not incredible at all, it's perfectly reasonable. Most people don't understand Bitcoin. They buy some because it has been going up in price, but they're still extremely jittery about it. Markets are fickle by nature, but in the case of Bitcoin that's twice so, and in the case of Bitcoin in a new market (China, India) where people truly don't understand it, it's thrice so. The human psychology of going with the flow and following the masses is the problem here. Unfortunately it's impossible to persuade them to calm down and take profit. To understand it just watch the black friday mob. If they just stood in line and entered one by one there would be no injuries and they'd get in faster, instead they try to go all at once blocking the doors and fighting the staff.
That's what I find incredible about it. The naivety and stupidity of people continually blows my mind. If it wasn't for idiots panic selling BTC wouldn't be where it's at right now. |
