Been over a month and I have still not gotten my key chains...any eta?

It will be shipped for sure in maximum 10 days, sorry for the wait, but as we stated in the post due to holiday time in Spain we could not ship them earlier :/

Alright just making sure it did not get lost on the way.

He openly admits to posting only to get paid. That probably does not help his cause here.

2447  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcointalk Escrows [Updated Daily] Trade Safely! on: August 29, 2015, 11:54:36 PM
Thank you for the information.  I understand this a little better.  How does an account get escrowed? And if the the borrower does not pay, how does the seller get the account sold to get his money back or something along those lines?


The person gives their account details to the escrow to hold on to as collateral until the deal has been completed. IF the person defaults then you get the account.
What is stopping someone from giving their account information then changing it to secure it?


The escrow would change the password and email address. Once the escrow secures it and has the funds they hand over the new details to the buyer. Buyer secures it then escrow releases the BTC to seller.
2448  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best exchange site? LTC to BTC? on: August 29, 2015, 01:11:02 PM
The best site for LTC/BTC trade is Btc-e.com. I'm surprised to see that no-one mention it yet. I don't really get why people suggest you low volume, untrusted sites. Btc-e is your best bet.

Agreed BTC-e is a great exchange and is the best for LTC volume. Shapeshift.io for small volume works amazingly well. Also people will say that BTCe is some how shady - all exchanges are shady, but I actually trust BTCe over most.

Really nice coins - I currently have one at ANACS being graded! I will be posting some pictures in the next couple of weeks once it ships back to me.
2450  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcointalk Escrows [Updated Daily] Trade Safely! on: August 29, 2015, 12:38:52 PM
Basically the escrow is the middle man that keeps both parties safe during the trade.

Say that User A wants to buy an item from User B, but neither want to send first for fear of the other not completing the deal. The escrow steps in and keeps both people safe during the trade. Here is how it works...


-User A sends the Bitcoins to the escrow

-Escrow confirms they have the Bitcoins and tells User B to ship the item

-User A receives the item and tells the escrow to release the Bitcoins to User B


Escrow just holds the funds to make sure both people live up to their end of the deal. Some escrow do charge a % as a fee (it does require some effort so they like paid for it).

Looks like a really nice and clean coin. Maybe toss it up for auction and see what the market says?
Thanks, it is a really nice coin. I'm sure it would get a decent grade.

The was burned last time I did an auction, but I am considering it.



Well that is always a chance with an auction. The whole "taking offers" thing never really works well here. I would either have a set price or auction and roll the dice. Shame you never graded it as that would make setting the price much easier.
2452  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS] Casascius 2011 MS 65 ANACS on: August 28, 2015, 05:00:18 PM
Offering 2.25BTC for it... I know you are wanting 3+, but that is my offer.

2454  Other / Meta / Re: The reputation system here needs to be de-centralized, get rid of default trust on: August 28, 2015, 11:52:25 AM
Is there any user here whom the majority of the community consider trustworthy?

I think thats the real problem with the trust system, there is a lack of trustworthy users on bitcointalk. I guess message boards aren't a good way to trade. Even anonymous marketplaces like Silk Road don't have as many scammers because of the escrow system.

There are plenty of trusted users here, but the amount of scammers really sucks. I think a big issue we have is sold accounts these days. I have seen a lot of positive trusted accounts being sold which makes trusting people even harder. I could list out at least 20 people I would feel comfortable sending coins to upfront.

I rarely see issues overall with the current system - no matter what any system will have flaws. Just use escrow and your chances of getting burned are very low.
2455  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mining as sole source of income on: August 28, 2015, 11:48:25 AM
If you want to start earning a viable monthly income next month, and want to use (cloud) mining, 10k isn't going to cut it.
cloud mining wont cut it imo, regardless of the investment put into it, which would have to be ridiculously large to sustain a living off of that since the profits are razor thin anyways, and roi is going to take even longer tha nif you were mining by yourself with hardware.

10k either  way i think, wouldnt be enough to sustain an income off mining alone either. you would need several times that initial investment as well as cheap internet, a well ventilated and cooled location to house the miners, and most importantly, cheap electricity. it would be extremely hard even with something like a 30k investment to sustain a living, as miners can and will break, and the difficulty will always be rising. not to mention that hardware is constantly improving as well.

Pretty much this ^^

Sorry to say, but you are a few years too late for this idea to work. Even with free power and spending $10,000 on used gear it would not sustain any decent lifestyle. Do yourself a favor and do not buy into cloud mining.
2456  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Lealana 25LTC MS-69 (checking market interest) on: August 28, 2015, 02:46:12 AM
Well 25 LTC = .31BTC currently. I will offer .55BTC for it shipped.
2457  Other / Meta / Re: Quickseller trust-spam; one rating removed, one to go on: August 27, 2015, 08:55:11 PM
I think it's clear that the Default Trust list is massively flawed. I hate reading stuff where people get negative trust & are labelled scammers when they just don't seem to be scammers at all.

Can I get this right - If somebody on Default Trust puts another poster on their trust list then that person is also then added to Default Trust?

I think the only way to sort it is for bitcointalk.org to employ one poster whose only job is to patrol the forums scam busting & controlling the Default Trust list & leaving people negative trust. There are just far too many people who can ruin good posters/peoples reputations if the Default Trust list is left how it currently is.

It's one big, sorry mess as far as I'm concerned, what's stopping a scammer paying somebody on Default Trust to include him/her on their trust list so they then become a Default Trust member? They could then hit somebody or some company for a lot of bitcoin. It's all a load of crap, governed & controlled by nobody in particular.


When it comes down to it Theymos has all of the control over all of the trust. Theymos decides who is depth 1, and those guys have all of the power. I am added by a few people that are depth 1 making me a depth 2 user. Depth 2 can make people red, but can not add others into trusted status. If I mess up somehow the depth 1 guys can easily stop my ratings from being trusted by removing me from their lists or using the ~.
Overall this trust system works well as you only hear about a few cases, but I bet 20+ ratings happen per day here with no issues. Someone like QS will cause some drama doing his thing, but the positives out weight the negatives by a lot. I guess you could say some collateral damage is bound to happen a long the way. The fact that we can publicly dispute things here in meta makes for a decent checks and balances.

The point of people being trusted by default is supposed to eliminate the chance of a paid to be added scenario... Those people are supposed to be the most trusted here.
2458  Other / Meta / Re: The reputation system here needs to be de-centralized, get rid of default trust on: August 27, 2015, 11:53:22 AM
There are plenty of users with clean trust/feedback here. If you just stick to trading legitimate things you never have an issue. It is rare that people get negative trusted when they are 100% legit here. You allegedly sent back a $1300 item with no proof of tracking...how could people not be skeptical? I think the trust system is not perfect, but it does work.
