Just saying, if we call witch just because another guy screams witch, it isn't justice or any proof to justify it.
Nevertheless it doesn't really apply here, anyways.

Culture and community = defense and bulldog resistance to bullshit.
Or brainwashing without proof. Which isn't saying I disbelieve this person at all. Everyone should exercise extreme caution with whoever that is. But if we take people only on their word when calling out a scammer without proof, that isn't defense, just groupthink. |

Even so, at current prices there's over $15,000 USD above 7.3 alone. It would be very easy to trade large numbers without a huge fluctuation. Just not all at once.

We are all waiting for a good Android and/or iPhone client. The lack of one is probably the biggest thing holding up the Bitcoin economy right now.
Navigating to mybitcoin.com is pretty easy on a smartphone. It's a standard method I use for any in-person payments. |

If you send a letter with no return address, $1 inside and make the same threat, how would that be different than your scenario? It's an illogical fear. Cash can be used as anonymous as bitcoins only bitcoins can be traded electronically within seconds.
Furthermore most consumers would be wise to keep their btc addresses private. If someone somehow threatens me in the way you described, and he sent it to an address I've only used on one website, then it makes my ability to pinpoint who it was much easier. In fact, I'd almost argue it would be easier to track down this activity rather than an anonymous letter sent to your house.

WTF people .. just buy your shit with BTC .. how @#$% hard is that ...
How old are you?  My boss doesn't hand out checks in bitcoins and I'm not a retailer. Last time I checked, the grocery store and the gas pump don't have a bitcoin addresses. My bills? Can't pay them with bitcoins either. Get real. |

I am not here to provide iillegal services, I plan to work in accordance with the law.
Psst. By using the federal government to mail your meds, you're breaking the law. So...you're providing an illegal service. |

If a company allows credit card payments, they won't allow bitcoins. It's been said before, the best options are going to be cash, or e-currencies that do not allow chargebacks, but everyone keeps looking for the easier options. I'd like easier options too, but it just isn't possible.

otc needs a web interface. irc isn't for everyone  +1! I really wish this was possible. OTC could be a phenomenal market but they're cutting off a very large portion of internet users who do not know IRC well(90%+ of users). |

2. There is a risk of lost, stolen, or disk failure wallets. Yes you can lose your wallet in real life, but you usually find it under the bed.
Common practice if you have a large amount of coins should be having one wallet with most of your savings, while having a separate spending wallet, or similar setup. Encrypting and backing up would be just as safe as a bank account, especially if you put it in a safety deposit box. Is encrypting and backing up your wallet harder than the first time you learn about banking? I'd make an argument that it's even safer and easier than trying to teach a kid how to open a checking/savings account. |

Do you have coins in your mybitcoin account? If not, just make a new one. You could even do that just so you can contact support.

All of the above?  |

Sure but how cheap is cheap? Shipping to the U.S. has to be expensive.

It's like asking if you like to breathe and eat.
Somebody hated the idea of profit enough to vote no. Or someone did it as a joke. Do you really think five people here are over 100 years old, as shown in genjix's age poll? |

Also note two moneypaks would have to be purchased, as I'm almost positive they allow a max of 500 on each card. Each card is $5, so $10 for exchange overall.
Good idea though, I'd like to see more people accept moneypaks. Very easy for most people to find in their local store, and you just pay cash for it at the register, get on the internet and send the code you receive to the recipient. Voila

I've asked ebay, they've responded. They do not want bitcoins used on ebay.

This picture makes me mad. I hope this isn't a common sentiment in America.
