Very neat, thanks, I'd be interested to hear whats going on if it isn't a hush hush type of thing.

Someone got a steal, winning the auction at 0.2298 BTC.

Just a few hours left on the Norfed Auction. At the current bid, I'm losing about $8.50 if no one decides to bid higher. Good for you, bad for me

There really hasn't been much feedback on the subject. The hack and all of the stuff having to do with that has really taken the attention of the staff. I suppose that since no one feels strongly enough about it now to voice their opinions, Scrypt Bitcoin threads will be allowed, but cautiously. I ask that people please use disclaimers, or making it incredibly obvious whether they are talking about Scrypt Bitcoin or Sha Bitcoin.

With that in mind, its still thin ice so to speak. There will be a very very strong lookout for deceptive practices which obviously would get the thread removed. Again, this is kind of a gray area. Since no one has had much opinion on the matter as of now, I'm going to assume it will be allowed. However, should Theymos or John K individually, or the rest of the staff as a whole decide against allowing Scrypt Bitcoin, it will go back that way. So if you use and support Scrypt Bitcoins, please don't do anything that will grab the staff's attention and give us reason to disallow the coin.

I believe the free click giveaway was only for the first five people to sign up, 6 if you count this one

I believe the round restarts after all of the boats have been hit.

No, Rob Lowe personally told me to get a saxophone.

But yes, that was an excellent movie.

I just shipped a few coins to the UK, so I'm waiting to see how that goes. I don't imagine it would be an issue, but first, I can't insure international packages, and second, if I ship more than $400 worth of coins, I have to fill out additional customs forms which means you have to pay import taxes. At under $400, you may or may not have to pay import taxes. I do everything I can to try and get you out of those taxes, without lying.

I declare packages as gifts of Collector's Coins at approximate value. I'm not going to commit mail fraud by declaring an unreasonable lesser value ($55 item declared as $50 or something is fine), or improper description, however Collectors Coins are far less likely to be taxed than, Silver Coins. So I'm hoping that with that my current buyer wont have an issue. I also package them in the most difficult to open way, so hopefully it disuades any unreasonably gungho customs workers

If you want, I can ship a few coins internationally as I said I would, just be aware. That first, when I send any package internationally, they require an email address and phone number. I don't require a real email address or phone number, but what that probably means, is that if your package gets held up in customs and they want you to come pick it up, thats how they will contact you. Second, I can't insure the packages, and Third, all I can guarentee is that they will go out on my end, even the USPS wont take responsibility for things after they have gone internationally (hence why they wont insure).

Also on a side note, keep in mind, that Germany and Australia are the most difficult countries to import silver into (Germany not so much from the EU) but from abroad. They are incredibly strict on their precious metal importation laws, so its difficult to get anything besides old collectors coins in. Luckily, I do label the packages as collectors coins, however please take precaution in ordering from me if you are in Australia or Germany. Like I said, I'll do my best, but I can't really change your country of origin's importation rules.

Purchased a few gold items from him, never had any issue.

Its an octopus. Octopus are known as devilfish. They have 8 legs which was also considered an evil number. The true origin of the number 666 having to do with a Hebrew numerical alphabetical code spelling Nero Caesar. The 666 thing gained ground, after he began in who persecuting Christians, and was thought to be the antichrist. 888 being his predecesor Emperor Claudius. Octopode are cold blooded, and live in the sea. Cathulu being related to the octopus (possibly the father?), "Lives and reigns and conquers the world" which his son takes from him.


The fortune comes in Online Octopus vending, a very lucrative trade, however holding the fortune will be a much greater and painful challenge, because octopus aquarium setups are expensive as hell. In my first setup, cost well over $3k. That and due to their short life expectancies, and amount of work that is required to keep them alive, it will be a painful, yet profitable endevor.

I win.

Sent an additional .25 just for good measure to make sure the site has enough bankroll in case someone gets super lucky.

No interest on this loan, solely to be paid back out of site profits.

I ordered a few a few days ago and mayyyyy... have sent them to Mushroomized as a joke present which arrived today (although I knew he had interest in them anyway). What a happy surprise! Anyway, they are doing well  

Updated quantities

Don't forget to check for auctions, some of these coins will probably go for a steal before people are actively checking.

I trashed the thread a bit earlier today after recieving the reports. Thanks guys, requesting a ban as well. Theres very few things you can't do on the forums, but malware is frowned upon.

Does the winner also recieve a micro pizza?

If so, count me in.

Wouldn't it be more practical to just create a group buy at, cost + X BTC and then come out with 50X BTC profit for yourself, without having to take any loans? Then you wouldn't have to worry about finding buyers after purchasing the roll either.

Mushroomized and I split the loan 50/50. I provided .125 BTC and he did as well, so the loan has been filled.

0.15625 BTC to be repayed out of the sites profits, good luck

mrjoey is the name of one of the forum's more notorious scammers.

However, my buddy Mush helped you on Bittleships a few years ago, so I do know that you are the original owner, and the game wasn't a scam at the time anyway.

Hehe, there is very little I delete as long as it isn't something like a five paragraph copy and paste of a brownie recipe in all capital letters with various obscenities strung through it. I believe we are all adults here (for the most part) and you should be able to say what you want, as long as you aren't seriously infringing on the rights of others. Each board has slightly different rules based on the local moderators personal philosophies, with a base line of what you should/shouldn't moderate, and from there its personal opinion, as long as you stay consistent.

Shipping companies are very iffy when it comes to International shipping and precious metals. I don't always do insurance on small purchases, unless the buy requests it, however on large ones, I'm very adamant on Insuring the package which I factor into the shipping cost. I found out through experience the difficulties of USPS/Fedex/UPS , with a buyer who intended on purchasing everything internationally. The first issue, is what company would insure a $6,000 package. Most do, but I then found stipulations saying shipping internationally for more than $650 is quite steep. We then decided to ship in multiple packages valued at around $1000 each, and was told I couldn't insure a package containing more than 50% of a precious metal, and so on and so on.

So as I said in my OP, "Shipping to the U.S only, with small sales possible out of the country" If someone wants a coin or two, I can ship it out of the U.S, but its not likely I'll be able to insure it.

Added a Norfed Liberty Dollar to Bitmit, https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/70920-2000-norfed-liberty-dollar-in-airtite

I will add more by request, or if people seem generally interested in Bitmit listings as well.
