So these were merely an attempt at double spends but only 1 of those Tx was confirmed, right? And other one was rejected.
Yes - it would be better if they (blockchain.info) used the term "double spend attempt" (as that is far more technically correct). Note that even that description is perhaps a little "emotionally loaded" as in fact it may just be someone who made a genuine *mistake* by omitting a fee trying to resend with an appropriate fee (currently a "replace with proper fee" is not supported). Thus the existence of two such txs doesn't imply that someone is actually trying to cheat someone else at all (but if you have received funds in such a manner of course it would be better to be aware of the situation than not - although as has been pointed out accepting 0 confirmations is never a very good idea). As far as alt coins go - any blockchain that doesn't prevent double spends is *useless* so even if they don't use the same consensus method as Bitcoin one would assume they don't allow "actual double spends". Yeah, it portrays to the general audience that there are so many double spends happening with bitcoin and gives the impression that maybe it's unsafe. When it's not actually true. |

These are not true double spends. In every one of the cases listed at that link, there was never more than one transaction of the transactions that actually made it permanently into the blockchain. Those are all situations where a previously unspent output was used as an input to one transaction, and then that exact same output was used as an input into the other transaction. In some cases, both the transactions were seen on the network with zero confirmations at the same time, in other cases the second transaction wasn't transmitted until after the first transaction failed to get confirmed as was already dropped from the memory pool of most peers. There are legitimate reasons to re-use an unspent output, and as I already mentioned in my previous post in this thread there are fraudulent reasons to do so. Unless you were either the sender or the receiver of one of the transactions, it is impossible to know which (if any) of these are attempted scams and which occurred for legitimate reasons. So these were merely an attempt at double spends but only 1 of those Tx was confirmed, right? And other one was rejected. But Blockchain saw 2 tx from same unspent outputs and called it double spends but they weren't actually any double spends? |

A true double spend has never happened and cannot happen. It is not possible for two different transactions to both include as inputs the same unspent outputs, and for both of those transactions to be permanently recorded in the blockchain.
However, people that don't understand the technical details of how bitcoin works like to use the words "double spend" to describe a variety of scams that allow an attacker to fool their target into believing that they've received bitcoins that they never actually received.
So, if you are asking about a true double spend, then no, it hasn't ever happened. It never will.
If you are asking about a scam where someone is tricked into believing that they've received bitcoins that they haven't due to the target's own misunderstanding about how bitcoin works, then yes. That has happened many times.
It is really confusing, what are the double spends they show at blockchain? https://blockchain.info/double-spends |

Sorry OP. You're late, if you were here before there were threads hinting that something is up with mintpal and some people were lucky to withdraw their funds just before they ran away. How much did you had there?

Can't one transfer from PP to their bank accounts? I think that would be the best and safest option, just transfer it to your bank and then buy BTC from it.
Yeah, but if the buyer charges back, the seller's account goes into a negative balance, and they'll harass you to pay it off. If you try transferring money to the bank of the owner, there's no escrow service; thus it's difficult to tell whether or not the buyer/seller will actually follow through. I know about the charge-backs. I meant why not OP withdraws his money to his bank account and then buy BTC from that? Like using a debit card with circle or coinbase. In his OP it says he doesn't have a bank account  Hm. Does Virwox allow UN-verified Paypal? |

IMO it would actually probably be better to create, design and program any bot that you plan on using yourself. Bots tend to need to access your exchange account and if they are malicious then they can potentially steal money from your account, either by withdrawing funds or by causing you to make crazy trades that the creator knows about ahead of time
Yeah, better build one yourself or do it manually. I would never leave my money in hands of a bot. A little bug or bad script can make you lose a lot of money. So, make sure you test it with small amounts if you must use one. |

Good site, although I think there is some problem with the questions, I am pretty sure I answered some of them correctly but it kept showing as incorrect. And the Captcha should be simpler.

Contact DannyHamilton I think I saw him somewhere Selling Bitcoin for Western-Union, don't know whether he's selling or not right now. Or just open a thread in trading section, there are sellers who buy/sell for WU. Just make sure you use an Escrow. But you don't need one with Danny . GL Here's his profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=60820Even if he's not selling, he'll point you into right direction. Btw here's my add : 1FeWC9i1riDXeQMqf2MJGf1k1MwNCak36B |

- Sign up for www.cryptiv.com so that i can send you 0.00010000 BTC via twitter which you can claim from this website
Can you explain what you mean by this? I don't mind tweeting for 10k sats as it would help pay a Tx fee but I would prefer it directly in my wallet than going places to get it. |

Let's hear those reasons.  I do hope you're right though but I don't think Jan is it. |

Your profit will depend on player's losses. But if someone hit big you'll end up losing your investment.
