I think he is also only one to hold the private key that can send alert messages. Satoshi originally had it and still has it I guess if he is still around. He passed it to Hal who in turn left it to Theymos.
Thought that Gavin had the alert key...not Theymos.
Bitcoin prices have gotten higher so I understand why they need to cap it...probably getting too expensive. They just need to keep the good posters and dump the rest long term
Obviously no alt coin should have its own sub here so that is just silly. I think Monero is fine where it is at right now. The only alt with a semi active forum is Litecoin, but it is also bigger than all the rest combined so not really surprising. Personally I try to ignore the alt section here since it is always a mess. All alt coins have shills and supporters...XMR does seem to have a lot of haters though.
Am I wrong to think that there would be more interest in this coin?
I think plenty of people are interested in the coin, but your ask was too high. What is a realistic pice you would accept for this coin? If you are feeling brave auction it off with a starting bid of 1BTC and see where the market prices it at.
Just file a claim on PayPal's site and you will win it back. I have had to file a few claims over the years (not Bitcoin related) and PayPal is always good about them. Personally I have always had good dealing with them, but not recommended for buying BTC.
I know for a fact GoldBits was legit - yes it was strange how that all went down, but Elianite is being honest about that deal.
If Blazedout can vouch for him then he must be legit
Elianite is legit - not saying you shouldn't use escrow, but that is up to you. I still have people who want to escrow when dealing with me...never a bad thing!
