Just ordered some coins. Waiting for them to appear in my wallet. I guess this quote answers my first question as to how you plan to deal with the charge back issues that have killed all other previous attempts to do this: Chargeback Policy: The practice of claiming a refund or requesting a chargeback after having purchased on our site is considered fraudulent. Customers seeking to resolve any billing errors are required to contact us via email or phone. Any chargeback attempted for products provided by SimpleCoin will be firmly defended, and a $150 administrative fee will be assessed automatically and without exception. If the chargeback is completed successfully, and if the disputed amount is not determined by SimpleCoin to have been charged in error, the entire disputed amount will be re-assessed along with a $150 chargeback fee. SimpleCoin will turn the matter over to a collection agency to recover the chargeback amount and the chargeback fees and assessed fee plus any collection fees, and will result in it being reported to credit reporting bureaus such as Experian, Equifax, or Trans Union. So, you are trying to "scare away" the criminals? Wow, I suppose this is one way around it - charge $150 dollars to their credit card assuming it is there credit card. Interesting approach!  |

Ouch! Western Union???
Steer very clear of that on anything that you are doing to promote bitcoin. Western Union screams scam, thanks to the enterprising lads in Nigeria at the internet cafes, who use it as their preferred remittance source for ill-gotten gains. Even mentioning WU will create all kinds of negative press both with users (the more savvy greens, and all of the blues) and with media and the authorities.
Please don't add the taint of a criminal facilitator to this world, it is exactly the kind of message we need to avoid.
My last scam was through Western Union I fell for it  lost $2,900 that I would love to have back ugghh.... |

Here is how an address like 1BRMLAB7nryYgFGrG8x9SYaokb8r2ZwAsX is found: Generate a random private key - this is any random number in the finite field used by Bitcoin.
Calculate the corresponding public key (a point in the elliptical group generated from the finite field)
Calculate the corresponding public key address (using the formula from my previous post)
Check the first part of this calculated public key address and see if it matches 1BRMLAB.
If it does then quit, if not go back and try again. After running this algorithm for a reasonable amount of time the key pair that generated 1BRMLAB7nryYgFGrG8x9SYaokb8r2ZwAsX was found. If you run the program again to find another vanity address that starts with 1BRMLAB you will find a totally different key pair and a totally different public address. It will be just another one of the very large number of public key addresses that just happen to start with 1BRMLAB. Sounds like you've discovered a way to 'treasure hunt' ? Not a bad idea. |

So that means the "Early Adopters" are hoarding an average of 78 BTC. Dang those rich people!
Didn't have an opinion one way or the other just didn't know where all the coins could be but 78 btc each person not bad! This is great news! Now that we've done the math, I'm sure Jimmy Buffet with Berkshire Hathaway will soon be adding Bitcoin to their portfolio. Pass me that tequila. Not that one! The one with the worm in it. Didn't you hear! Warren Buffet the other Buffet is "the manipulator" that everyone talks about! pass me the corona with lime in it! |

I’m sure you would have a different tone should a criminal take your children and sell their organs on the black market to (for example) China. Say they use Bitcoins to carry out the transaction online, a deal that would not be possible without the existence of Bitcoin. We will never find them again, since Bitcoins are anonymous. Would you still support Bitcoins under those circumstances? Should we sit idly by while such manouvers are being made? I love the scare tacticz!  Apparently, we already have a black market for small organs!  I know right! I guess we have the "silk organs" also |

Ummm that is a lot of bitcoins assuming a lot got lost / hacked / erased but assuming there is still a lot of BTC out there where the hell do all these coins reside ? I saw some number like there are only 100,000 or less Bitcoin users total out there so like 100,000 / 7,796,150 BTC means a lot of people have bitcoins? what am I missing here ? Coins don't get "erased". hmmm good point ...Ok, I concede that point I meant "erased" as in " lost wallet dat. on people's computers say if the hard drive was erased. |

This thread can easily be used as a depository for recent post, as well as archived ones, like: You all are nuts and need to force yourself to do non Bitcoin related activities every so often  Clearly you are undedicated to the cause. It's people like you who bring the price down! Lol@theymos trolling trolls. that was pretty good ^^ lol that was the thread for the search of Bitcoinporn guy lol |

Not sure I read the original, but that seems a very fair and level headed response. Atleast, he proprts to respect the passionate enthusiasts of such a new concept. ;p Sooner or later, he too, will come over this side of the fence. I agree. I'm starting to see the "tide change" on a lot of the reporting on Bitcoin I think they feel guilty for the first pass on it or were pissed they had to do what the "boss" told them to do. This time they let loose and put out what they really think of this great idea called bitcoin! |

Yes. If you bid a price and it does not exceed what others have bid, then it will not win, but the bid price stays, unless you remove it, so that the other bidders aren't paying artificially low prices for their ads. However, when your ad wins you will only have to pay 0.001 BTC per day more than the second place bidder, so as to never overpay. It's quite nice.
Hey, thanks for the response that really cleared things up It does seem pretty nice I'll give it a go and report back thanks again! |
