I wasn't the moderator of this section from day one. Honestly, I'm not really a stickler to moderation policy, if people want to have fun, mess around, joke around, whatever I'm all for it, as long as half of the people that are in the thread for the intended purpose don't care, I'm fine with it. however I get at least 20-30 reports about this single thread per day.

I try hard to justify posts as on topic, but some of these are too far off to even be construed as on topic.

In the process of purging this thread. Come on people, I don't care if you fud or have unpopular ideas, as long as they are at least somewhat on topic.

For the record, it is not against the rules to insult people, parody ones likeness, etc. But at least slightly on topic would be preferable. If your post has to do with Active Mining, positive or negative, service discussion, speculation, etc, anything on topic, its fine.

There have been multiple scam warnings about this user, please proceed with caution.

This is more or less accurate. This is a bitcoin forum, and the fact that an alt coin section is here is really just a formality. It should be encouraged for each coin to have its own forum, and the Bitcoin forum should be a secondary forum for coins.

I do ask about additional subforums from time to time, however we have a pretty strong answer, and there is no need to pester Theymos any more than necessary. We could have childboards eventually, but just not in the near future I do not believe.

In light of Casascius' temporary/permanent shut down I will be holding onto this coin for a while to see how it all plays out.

Thanks for the offers, but I'll pass.

Check out Amazon, a box of thin mints sells for $25.

I also will join.

Seems sort of strange that in order to get them to allow an experimental procedure to be done, that they would have to get thousands of strangers signatures? You would think that the parents would just be allowed to sign a waiver or something releasing the hospital of liability in case something went wrong, and the hospital would just have to get approval by proving that they have tried everything else.

This, account sales and having multiple accounts* are allowed because banning them wouldn't do anything. People that understand the techical nature of Bitcoin, aren't going to have any trouble using proper tools that will allow them to stay uncaught. On a Hello Kitty fansite forum, they can probably have the TOS say that the sale of accounts is forbidden. The majority of their userbase isn't going to know how to use proxies, tor, and the other anonomizing tools that the users of this forum use on a regular basis. The forums have 184576 registered accounts at the time of me posting this. If you think that the admins/staff could stop even a fraction of that many people from selling accounts secretly, you would have to be crazy.

* Multiple accounts are also allowed so that people may post unpopular ideas without jeopardizing their professional standings

Order now, and overnight shipping within the U.S will be included. I need the Bitcoins for crack... I mean various Bitcoin investment stuff.

I'm so mad about this, I bought three cases of girl scout cookies on Ebay... I HAD TO PAY $45 EXTRA!

Assuming your service is legitimate, wouldn't it be cheaper to just take that $500, buy another computer, and use that as an overkill secure hotwallet?

I had thought so, I read that from a variety of sources recently, when I was negotiating selling some of my own coins for USPS money order.

When you buy a Post Office Money Order, they ask for the person to receive's it's name, and the recipient will have to show ID to actually get the money, so an escrow agent couldn't cash it for you. You can't get an already spent USPS Money Order.

Do keep in mind the largest amount that they will do is $1000, and in order to cash it, they will actually have to have $1000 in cash at that USPS location, so you either have to get lucky, or go to a larger Post Office.

Daily Bump for people getting home from work with some coin burning their pockets.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what cleaning one of these coins would do to it, I definately wouldn't do it myself.


Part of the allure of these coins, is owning a piece of Bitcoin history, as these are the first physical bitcoins ever produced from what could remain the standard in physical coins fiveever.

I should mention, although I'm looking to sell it for 2.5 BTC + if it doesn't sell in a few days, and I just get bored, I'll throw it up for auction starting at 2 or 2.25 and see where it goes.

Ill match this offer of 1 BTC, but shipping to the U.S (may be a better deal for you if you are in the U.S)

This is why I made this thread 

Whether or not the exchange dissappears for good, is something we wont know for a few months, however hopefully people will see the shutting down thread, and get their coins out that they left for the longhaul.

I agree, in the case of not knowing how it will effect the value though, I will allow the buyer to clean it if they so choose. If you clean an old bronze roman coin, it loses like 95% of its value, however this isn't a coin from an ancient civilization, so I just don't know how it would effect the value. Its up to the market I suppose.
