Unfortunately we don't have a budget for this project, What are you doing that requires you to acquire bitcoins? |

We don't condone people intentionally masking their true location, as it's a form of fraud and can be used for illicit reasons.
The term fraud has very specific meaning and I'm going to assume you are misunderstanding that meaning. Transacting using Tor or a VPN to protect my privacy is not something that violates your terms of service (at least not my preliminary reading of it). Even if it did though, that is not the definitioin of fraud. |

I'm trying to come up with a safe way to store my bitcoins where you would need 2-factor to spend the coins. The simple approach I can come up with is to store my private keys in a bank safe, but make sure that the private keys are encrypted with a strong password that only I know. I would then set up a dead man's switch to send that password out in case anything happens to me. This way, you would need to have access to my bank safe and know my password in order to spend the coins. That seems pretty safe to me. Thoughts?
Now the question is, what is a simple way to encrypt my private keys? I need something that's secure but also easy to use to decrypt. Since I have to describe how to decrypt the keys in my dead man's switch email.

We use the location of your IP address to show you the offerings that are available to your location.
That means that those attempting to access your site using Tor or VPN will oftentimes be unable to use your service. |

The bank's assistant manager looked as me as if I was nuts, so I left before she could call security.
Each bank might have their own handling for non-reversible transfers. For instance, wire transfers generally require an in-person visit to set up but with some banks repeat transfers can be made via phone or other form of request, depending on what your bank's policy allows. A similar cash transfer method to the other Chase account might be allowed as you describe (by providing some written instruction). |

ZIGGAP is currently accepting these payment methods:
Cash deposit at:
[...]
National Australia Bank (NAB - AUS) Does the site render different based on where it is accessed from? I don't see either the OKPay or the NAB cash deposit methods. |

Because Bitcoin does not require trust in a financial intermediary (e.g., a bank) it is an incredibly efficient method for transferring amounts large and small. For international money transfers it is swifter than SWIFT (clears in an hour and non-reversible. It is less costly than PayPal. A government that intentionally hobbles its economy by taking steps to outlaw or prohibit the open use of Bitcoin will find itself drop versus competitor nations that are more accommodating of it. |

I'm copying a snippet from a post from someone stuck in newbie jail so it was first posted in that forum board: I wanted to say: When shipping to Europe, and especially France, Belgium, Italy and Spain, please unscrew the antenna and do not put the antenna in the package. The customs in these countries are really butthurt if they think it contains a transmitter for which a CE declaration does not exist. It's not really a problem, you can self-certify for CE, you just need someone in Europe to sign the declaration of conformity. Avalon could provide the required documents, have the receiver sign them (but he is then fully responsible for meeting the requirements), submit them to the customs, and get the package. This would add at least on month of delay for these costumers.
Also, put a CE mark on the box and on the equipment. You can still get the package if it has none (suppose you are the importer who is going to put the product on the EU market and who will put the CE mark on it), but this requires a lot of paperwork and delay.
This is a pretty large box that has a high chance of being opened by the customs if its sent by HK post or certainly if sent with EMS. DHL has little problems, since they do customs declaration in advance, and only 1:100 packages is typically opened.

I put my private key to MTGox, and
I think it's the reason I ckan't withdraw using it :/
When you add your private key to Mt Gox, they will transfer immediately any funds sitting at that address to your wallet (which is just an accounting entry to them) and then will monitor that address for future incoming transactions and will sweep any new payments to that address to your exchange account. So once you import your private key to mt gox, you lose all control ot that address in the future. |

Can someone explain to me what a "Pennybot" is?
I think it refers to a bot that seems to be trading insignificant (~ penny) amounts to accomplish some aim. That aim might be, for instance, to knock the "last" trade price to sit near the highest bid side of the spread. Or it may be to make sure there is a bid sitting just below the ask price, causing a real narrow spread. When the amounts trade at a penny or less even, the purpose obviously isn't authentic, real buying and selling of positions but to manipulate the highest bid, lowest as or last trade quotations. |

lets see what the price will be after the weekend  The "weekend dip" isn't universal for every weekend. At least not the winning pattern that had been recurring over and over. The weekend dip "green light" would occur when there appears a downturn occurring into the weekend (i.e., at Wednesday evening (west) / Thursday morning (east) grab the 7-day high. If that is below the previous week's 7-day high, then a downtrend was occurring and selling was more often than not a profitable move as during the weekend an opportunity to buy back would usually be possible. That trend had a nearly perfect run. Then it kind of fizzled, This weekend did not get a weekend dip "green light" as on Wednesday evening (west) / Thursday morning (east) we were seeing a rising exchange rate, when comparing the two week's of 7-day highs. That doesn't mean it won't dip, it just means the pattern that seemed to repeat isn't being predicted. |

That's even more depressing.

will the buyer be notified if the seller than moves the funds back out of his account? (de-funds the transaction...)
I'm not sure. It probably does send a notification just like the funding event does. If you'ld like to test, I have an ad on LocalBitcoins ( https://localbitcoins.com/ad/3391 ) you could place an offer on it to buy $20 worth. I'll fund it then de-fund it and you can report back here what happens. |

So it would have to be done by someone who is willing to give up money just to mess with a handful of people?
Who are these people being messed with? There's no victim other than the perpetrator who does it to himself. |

Not once did BTC cross my mind. I drove past lines that were a mile or more long watching people hoping they could get gas. You could NOT get any cash, no ATM's. So now let's say someone arrives from a couple towns away with a truck holding a bunch of filled jerry cans and are selling them where the gas costs about $15 per gallon. You don't have cash (no ATMs remember), but they take bitcoin. Would BTC cross your mind then? |

There's 1 person about 5 miles from me but he's asking for $22USD/BTC....
How will someone who is willing to sell at spot but reluctant to place an ad on LocalBitcoins themselves able to find you unless you place an ad there yourself? |

Feature request:
Ability for me to cause a new deposit address to be generated for my account.
Currently, the blockchain shows all my deposits to a single Bitcoin address that get credited to my wallet at ICBIT.
The whole concept of there being a new Bitcoin address for each transaction is so that privacy is maximized. Because the wallet is a hosted (shared) EWallet, the funds I deposit will likely be withdrawn by someone else, thus there are clues out there that the address is associated with ICBIT deposits and those addresses might get scrutinized further to try to determine the identity or other clues about who is the party responsible.
