Are you sure you aren't violating this?



If you know what you are doing, good on ya, but just figured I'd say something in case you missed it.

Still have a similar amount of BTC left to sell.

Hehe, this thread sums up how all transactions should work. Trading guns for gold and bitcoins. 

I've been watching this thread rather closely trying to figure out what is going on here, and I've come to a few thoughts.

There are a few different groups of people chatting in this thread.

1) People discussing Active Mining Negatively
2) People discussing Active Mining Positively
3) People just discussing looking for Active Mining Info
4) People just watching the drama, and making a few off topic posts
5) People that just want to fight.

Groups numbers 1,2, and 3 are welcome, however please, if you are just looking to get into a fight with someone, make a thread in off topic, or continue on in pm. You are welcomed to have whatever opinion you have, as long as it is related to Active Mining. If someone makes a comment that you disagree with, and rather than wanting to prove them wrong with logical argument, you just want to insult them, or yell at thing, go elsewhere and argue please.

I've removed a few posts, but only those that were completely off topic, with no bearing on the matter what so ever.

Alrighty, the escrow adddress is: 18m7PdVMwHRt1G2xHP6mDPD5nVqp8h9PKB

when you see the agreed upon amount of coins here: https://blockchain.info/address/18m7PdVMwHRt1G2xHP6mDPD5nVqp8h9PKB

you are safe to ship.

You don't really need to ship it to me first, first because I doubt that Kouye would ship you a package of rocks, and second, I'm not Paypal, we as Bitcoiners tend to be smart enough to look at the evidence and figure out if someone shipped a legitimate package or not. If someone was to open it up and it was full of rocks, I'd just say snap some pictures, and I would be able to tell if you tampered with the package or not without too much difficulty. That and I could easily do other sleuthing if there was a dispute.

Second, I don't charge any fees, but I strive for excellent service, and accept tips if you are thoroughly happy with the service. If you two want to use my escrow service, I just ask that you cover some basic terms, like what happens if the package is stolen by pirates, or other odd but slightly possible senarios that could cause some dispute should they happen. If the postal service refuses to pay the insurance claim because of some odd bylaw or something like that.

Sounds good, those are the ones I'm least likely to eat. Thin Mints and Samoas are my favorite, anyone reading this, please feel free to bribe me with cookies.

I don't but I've REALLY been looking hard for some of those. The Archangel Michael Ukranian coins are what I've really been looking for, but it looks like Ukraine only mints like 10k of them per year, and early in the year, they make them available only to their citizens, so finding them outside of Ukraine is rare, and when you do they are expensive.

You are looking for the Russian Year of the Dragon coins, or the Perth ones?

Thanks, but obviously, John is more trustworthy than myself. He is however really busy at the moment, and not to be arrogant, but I'm perfectly capable to handle reasonable escrow deals. If you are handling hundreds of thousands of dollars, go with John though.

I'm going to go out on a limb, and guess that marco didn't get to the point where you two did agree on escrow, and he was responding to your earlier correspondance when you said no escrow.

*edit* Actually now that I think about it, I'm actually escrowing for another PS4 at this very moment as well.

If this does turn out to be a scam, I'm going to start a girl scout cookie for BTC business. Man, even if the OP was a scammer, he would be smart to actually be legit on this venture, you would make a killing. Far more than you would from scamming the first order.

*EDIT*

BayAreaCoins ended up selling to another person, so I am removing the old info to prevent confusion. No funds were sent to the old escrow address

Although its not as necessary if you are doing the 24 hour shipping, insurance, and the works, I would still appreciate it if you two had basic contingencies covered, which you don't have to share will me unless they come up. Stuff like, what happens in the case of lost package, if the shipping company has a price guarentee on 1 day shipping and they fail to meet it, and you get the shipping costs refunded, who is entitled to what, what happens if the plane gets caught in the Bermuda triangle and the package is lost and insurance wont pay under some strange clause, etc.

Yep, I guess its a different dealio for Precious metals. If you just tell them that you shipped say 10 Oz of some collectors coin that has a higher value than spot, they will just say, nope. So it has been my experience that for metals they have to watch you seal the package to confirm what you have in there. If thats not the case for sending cash, thats even better. I suppose the point is to make sure you have adequate insurance if you deem it necessary.

I too have never had a package go missing, or any other troubles with the postal service, however the extra money for insurance may be worth the piece of mind for the seller. Really completely up to them.

I had someone throw a fairly large sum of cash into a flate rate box, and just cover the box with 14 stamps. Not even tracking. Really all up to the sellers preference.

I'd escrow for you two for free if you wished. I've done deals with BayAreaCoins, so I'm confident enough that he is a straight shooter that it wouldn't be a very involved job. Even easier if you do 1 day shipping with tracking etc.

Just figured I'd offer

Hehe, yeah I know, Thorium goes through fission, but in order to start a fusion reaction, you need rediculous amounts of energy to hit the activation energy for reactions to start taking place, I'm talking about using Thorium + pehaps a liquid helium or deuterium catalyst to provide that initial energy to start the "cold" fusion reaction. I've already run the rough calculations for creating the magnetic field that would allow the reaction to run its couse, although I still have to find a location that would accomodate 7000 C temperatures.

Only if you are a Native Moonian

Would you be willing to just help with stuff that isn't school related?

I'm actually tinkering around with a new system for "cold fusion" using an enriched Thorium source as well as an unknown (at this time) catalyst to hit the activation energy and liquid hydrogen required to start the reaction and maintain the system. (if we get passed the theoretical stage, I'll work on finding a research facility that would allow us to try this legally)

I had some High Energy Particle Physics and Relativistic Quantum Field Theory courses which discussed somewhat what I'm trying to do.

And if you want to get more abstract, I'm also working on using the before mentioned idea as a power supply that would work for an Alcubierre drive type system. We can share the nobel prize  

There has been more than a handful of Bitcoin car sales, even home sales. Theres a dedicated website to it, but I'm not recalling the name.

0.60 BTC, however I can't include dead squirrels 

Heh, you should have seen it a few years ago. It was beyond miserable.

Thanks. Bought a MoneyPak off of xjack, tis a great seller. Confirmed legitimacy of card and everything went quickly and smoothly.
