It seems from responses here that there's mixed feelings regarding his actions.
Freedom of speech is one thing however, I believe that if people want to exercise their rights they have to abide to the laws of the country they're dwelling in.
People may not like the way that governments govern society but ultimately without a governing body they'd be total havoc. In the most part, rules and laws are made to be kept for our own benefit.
Yes freedom of speech is important, however, when it comes to something like this (funding terrorism) I think a boundary has been crossed.
It's kind of like someone complaining about the ethnicity and beliefs of a country he lives in. By no means does he have to have the same beliefs and he can voice his opinions freely. However, instead of acting out and seeking to destroy a working system he should just leave and find a place that suits him better.

[Bitcoin].. it's something which they're slowly trying to use at an increased rate.


Ah, I see what you did there.  Grin  No evidence of this either?

Like I said earlier, the issue is the actual funding of Islamists in general. There is no point looking to blame Bitcoin, or in some way cite it in the rise of Isalmist teror. Thats just plain deception.

I mean, are you not outraged at the opening of oil exports out of Libya, from ports in the hands of current and former rebel leaders (Ibrahim Jathran for one) and a 'rival' prime minister with known links to Islamists (Omar al-Hassi)? Billions of dollars going directly to the Libyan central bank, and then to Islamists?

For what? So the price of a gallon of gas at the pumps is 30 cents cheaper. Now that, my friend, is something to be outraged over before being upset by some fools who misguidedly donate a few satoshi.

I'm not mad at Bitcoin at all. I'm very pro BTC. What I don't like is people abusing the freedom it offers for certain purposes.
This isn't a case of someone who accidentally tried to tip ISIS. The fact that whatever point he was trying to make shouldn't have been made with involving a terrorist organisation such as ISIS.

You could easily sell them for 75-80% of the true value.
There's no reason to sell them at 50% other than to entice users to pay without an escrow or into a fake escrow whereby you'd just run away with their BTC.

Watch out when doing this even with high status members. Some accounts are bought and sold so account age isn't best factor when determining trust.
I suggest you use an escrow agent from default trust list or a high rates escrower.

Lol, may be your account is recently bought, that why you say so ? Tongue
well, shdvb & deadly are well known here in this section

I wasn't referring to them but rather just stating the risks when selling via paypal.
With my username it'd be pretty stupid selling my account due to having the same username on numerous other sites and forums.  Tongue
2707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bryce Weiner attempted to tip ISIS!? on: March 09, 2015, 06:13:27 AM

They've been using BTC for some time to raise funding for the terrorist activities.

They've also started selling antique and historical pieces from museums that they claim 'doesn't represent Islam' and whatnot.


Wow.  Do you have the links to where we will find that? Sounds interesting.

Yes please do provide a link because i do not believe it these guys take over banks and oil fields what do they need with bitcoin? The price is far to low for them to have been in it. What i think you are confused with is scammers pretending to be them and taking coin from the fools that is the thing with fools they will be parted with their money unfortunately. 

There are quite a few articles. A simple search online will bring you quite a few sources. Here are just a few.

From the first article:
Quote
despite ISIS’s dependence on high technology, the group does not yet appear to be using virtual currencies like Bitcoin to avoid engaging with the global financial system

That alone would suggest you are wrong in your original assertion?

But in your defense, from the last article:

Quote
The firm says the ISIS group had already received roughly $1,150 worth of bitcoins before the account was shut down by the FBI.

We should ignore all other sources and concentrate on this. its obviously key. :-)

Can you agree that Bitcoin is NOT a source of funding for ISIS?  The US dollar is.


Sorry, I didn't read all the articles. I simply copied the first few links from a quick search.
If you really want I could probably find some more accurate news articles.

Anyway, on your last point. Yes, IS ARENT receiving anywhere near as much as we'd expect from BTC however, it's something which they're slowly trying to use at an increased rate.
As it stands currently, it's probably true that most their funding comes from the dollar due to the oil and petrol they've been selling.

And with that the scammer has left but will be back pretty soon with a new account and another feeble attempt to scam...

Sorry to ruin the party but firstly doubting the legitimacy of this guy and secondly this isn't going to wirk even if op has a lot to blow on random alts. 
Firstly, he should prove his legitimacy by pumping eKrona on Allcoin.

Even then all pumps ultimately fail. It's only the big players that actually profit. By the time you see the change and submit your sell orders, the sell order book will be flooded and you'll end up stuck with x amount of some crappy coin since everyone is now trying to undersell to minimise on their losses after the real pimples got out before they even noticed.

I have a 2014 Kialara. How much are you looking to pay? (It's unfunded).

One just went for 0.5 and the retail is 0.4682 ( Roughly ).
So 0.45 - 0.52. UK is fine for shipping.

0.54 and I can do RM SD if you're in UK?

I will pay for USPS shipping to South Africa, you do not have to worry about it.
I will let you know the details.


Ok great. We don't have USPS but we've got other postal methods here in the UK. Smiley

We will cross that bridge when we get there. Please post a picture of the Kialara 2014 with your username on a page.

No problem. It'll have to wait a week though (I'm currently abroad but I'm returning next week).
You can that I own one and purchased it with a group buy (see here): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889771.0

I funded my coins but can't actually remember when.
Also not entirely sure what mintage was but doubt that many were sold.
