That rocks!

Don't forget to print your Bitcoin address on your company's business cards too.

Aye. It's me. Smiley My clone doesn't actually have access to the forum.

I can confirm that the limits are in place on BTC withdrawals, even if they're not documented.  I hit them about twice a week while operating CoinPal.

I've also hit those limits. The stored value explanation that mndrix offered is spot on, in my opinion.

After talking to this guy via email I'm starting to get that faint aroma of "scam". I could be wrong.

If anyone else wants to take this deal, feel free. I'm not interested anymore. Smiley

BTW, I haven't seen any equivalent of the "--no-check-certificate" option in curl's manual page.

"curl -k"

I run bitcoinxxx.com, bitcoingayxxx.com, and bitcoinsextoys.com. I'm just reselling. All of the content is self-shot, and I don't own a dildo factory. I leave that work to China. Tongue

I'm sure you've seen them before. I was the first one to start running adult sites. They started off as a proof of concept really, but now I actually do sales on them every day.

P.S. I was also the first to demo a signup-less affiliate program that has since been copied by many other sites. It was yet another proof of concept. (No expectation of profit.)

Sort of. I don't "own" it, but I do operate it.

In case you hadn't guessed, I was joking of course. Cheesy

If it works with wget and not with curl that's because the CA mtgox used isn't in the certificate bundle that's included with curl. The CA bundle included with curl is notorious for being out of date.

If it doesn't work at all, my best guess is a misconfigured load balancer or poisoned DNS.

I wish. Tried that for a bit, hard to make work with Bitcoin :-(

Works fine for me. Wink My pr0n is profitable.

They won't come for any of us. I know where all of those bankers live.

It turns out that bankers sure like masks and fuzzy handcuffs. Tongue

Correct.

I need someone to buy 3 PaySafeCards (one of each denomination) and email (don't post them in public) the numbers to me. I'll pay you back in Bitcoins.

It's an easy way for you to buy Bitcoins from me. Smiley

Thanks keefe!

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.

I have ran many large corporations in the past and I've studied law for many years. I'm not a charlatan.

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

An 'anonymous' customer isn't going to sue and reveal who they are. They are going to complain in public.

When someone uses your service to purchase drugs from Silk Road, expect the police... eventually. (Investigators always follow the money.) Your LLC will not help you at all in this case.

In the highly unlikely event that you do end up in a legal battle, the profits from your service will not cover the legal fees. You'll end up paying them out of pocket anyway. So much for protecting your personal assets, as you'll end up spending them voluntarily.

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.

Good. Profit shouldn't be your motive. There isn't any. This only strengthens my point above.

Thank you and thanks to everyone else that's given me constructive input and been humble about it rather than kicking sand in my face.

Don't be so dramatic. You have been offered suggestions from people who are actually doing large volumes of cash in the mail. We are simply pointing out the pitfalls that you need to be aware of. We want to see Bitcoin successful; just as you do. Getting hostile towards people that are trying to help you is really uncalled for.

Anyway, I wish you the best luck and I won't be participating in the betting.

With no ill will or vexation,
The Madhatter

Bump! No offers?

bitcoin2cash is really trying to open a legal business.  for example his business has an LLC to protect his personal wealth.  madhatter prefers to work in the dark away from legal or govt intervention.

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

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".

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.
35  Economy / Marketplace / Wanted: PaySafeCards on: April 07, 2011, 04:56:37 AM
Hello all,

I'm looking for a few PaySafeCards. Please spam my email or this thread with offers.

Thanks!

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.

Your "hook" is just a way for you to retain your anger towards me. I care not.

Debate? There isn't anything left to say.
37  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:57:55 AM
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.
38  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:44:07 AM
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.

Are you a linguist? An English teacher, perhaps?

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. Most of the trusted members of the forum are brilliant and honest people who wouldn't do that. Everyone  knows that.

You are "nit picking" over my posts now because you want a reason to be angry with me. Know what? You don't need a reason. Just be angry. I'm fine with that.
39  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin2Cash.com - Cash-Only Marketplace on: April 07, 2011, 03:33:14 AM
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?

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.

"The real problem is when you have established/trusted members of the forum [falsely] complaining, your reputation is toast."

That is a deliberate misquote. It is also taken out of context; quite possibly to justify your anger towards me.

In that statement I was referring to *real* complaints of lost cashmails from your premises by trusted members on the forum. You somehow munged two of my points together.

(the amateur remark definitely crosses the line)

Again, you misunderstood. Read my post again.
