My sides 

I'm now interested, the pawn shop said it was worth $2k to a collector? What year is the eagle? And its just in a airtite shown in the picture correct? Its not slabbed/graded?

Agreed, my bet would be on hacked though, as I'm sure hugo values his account far more than 0.05 BTC.

Left negative feedback for the sake of safety for the time being until this is resolved.

Punish everyone? As of right now, those that are caught spamming are banned. I don't know what the future holds though.

Paid signature spam in general is being discussed. As of now, the spammers whether bots or people just get banned when caught.

What about rather than convincing them that the USD is going to collapse, and they will starve, convince them to invest in precious metals? You can tell them to buy precious metals because they are at a relative minimum, and that they are a good investment, and then if the USD dies when you think it will, they will still have buying power to get food.

If you buy food, and then what you think will happen doesn't, you are out a bunch of money, and will have rotten food. (Pasta and Vitamins expire)

A lot of people here probably will agree with you that the USD will collapse, but no one knows the timescale for that.

puush is far more convient than any image hosting site.

Possible reprocussions being, you sell trust to scammers who are then able to more easily take advantage of newer members who don't understand the trust system quite as well, more than likely being labled a scammer yourself for doing it, and a lot of hate from the community.

As the trust system is completely unmoderated, if you are asking if you will be banned, I'd guess no. However whoever decided to add trust to you would be immediately pressured to remove you, so like others said, I don't think it would last long, nor would it be a profitable business venture.

In short, and in my opinion, probably not a good idea.

 

Is next month's payment also set to be 0.10 BTC?

Agreed, the trust system is unmoderated so I doubt its against the rules, but good luck getting on the default trust list in the first place if people know you plan on selling false trust to people.

The trust that people give you for the proposed idea, wouldn't be undeserved, it would be based on their own opinion of the "ethical ramifications"



I'd give you negative trust.

Would someone mind taking a screenshot of the virus report, so I can detirmine if its false positives or not?

Nope, this is the right place.

Its a speculation thread, don't see how its spamming.

Curious, how does your payment processor guarentee payout after Paypal takes their money back from them?

If you can figure out a solution to safely sell Bitcoins for Paypal/Credit Card, awesome. However, you really should expect to get burnt accepting reversable payment methods.

Actually not really far off at all. They are selling for $3k on Ebay, and 2.5-3 BTC at the moment I believe.

See, it wouldn't be a problem if he just said, I don't like/support gay people or gay marriage, but the reason he got in trouble, was that he worded his phrase... uh so elequently.

I completely agree that going by fiat law isn't correct for Bitcoin, but as we have seen as recently as Mike (Casascius) getting shut down, the U.S Gov is willing to overlook and imply a few things in order to be a pain in the ass. Abiding by fiat laws is partially unnecessary, however if its not a huge inconvience, its the safest way to operate without having someone knocking at your door. And if they do, you can at least say you were trying to do things legally. (That all assuming you are in the U.S)

I talked to a family friend who is a lawyer in MD, and they told me as long as you are doing less than $50,000 in *escrow deals per year, you don't fall under MSB status that requires a money transmitter license, nor do you have to strictly follow AML laws. However, they told me if I wanted to be safe, to record any transactions above $10k and if I had suspicion that it was being used illicitly, I had an obligation to report it to some AML organization. ($10,000 transactions for neopets codes or something fishy like that, not for mining hardware)

However, I haven't done escrows that large in a while, so I haven't needed to record anything of the sort. Also, that being said, thats in Maryland, not sure how it applies elsewhere.

* She cited Bitcoin escrow as being similar to situations where a friend buys a car from another friend, and will have a mutual friend hold the money for an agreed upon amount of time, to make sure that they have assurance that the car wont fall apart due to an undisclosed issue. There are of course lawsuits available in that senario, however informal escrow is not uncommon. That is if you consider Bitcoin applicable to fiat laws, which assuming so is probably the safest way to stay out of trouble.

I think things change if you charge for your escrow service, depending on location, however if you do escrow for tips, you should be alright, again depending on location. Probably not a bad idea to talk to a lawyer or someone who can give you advice on how to keep yourself legal.

Yes

How much are the December units?

*edit* I'll just go check your site 

I will certainly say that Inaba is guilty of not making the best business decisions in terms of PR. If he is being disruptive, report the posts.
