No problem.  My apologies for spelling your moniker incorrectly lol.

Man, this is a nice deal.  I wish I had the funds available to purchase it.  Good luck!

FYI, I have a favorable impression of Yachdog regarding business transactions after viewing many of his posts.  I hope the deal works well for both of you.

Imagine walking into a pawn shop; you have a watch to sell, and so you place it on the counter.  The pawn shop owner then confiscates the watch and says, "I don't know, you seem a little fishy to me."  He then asks you for a driver's license and telephone number and tells you that before he can consider letting you pawn the watch, he needs to conduct an investigation to make sure that you aren't a criminal.

At this point, of course, you naturally ask for your watch back as you don't like the glare of scrutiny coming from the pawn shop owner.  The pawn shop owner tells you, "I'm sorry, I can't give the watch back to you either.  After all, you might be a criminal.  Either provide the necessary identification or I retain the right to keep your watch."  By this point, you're trying to argue reasonably with the pawn show owner -- surely he doesn't do this with EVERY customer, does he?  It's your watch and this son of a bitch is telling you that it might not be, or, even if it is, that perhaps you didn't acquire it legally. 

And what evidence does he have to support his claims?  Nothing, zip, nada -- only a personal judgment that the possibility of fraud exists, and that the existence of the possibility alone is enough justification to confiscate your watch.

Bump till you drop.

Just sent my 1 BTC  Sent a PM to Rassah about it just now after he contacted me 2 days ago to let me know about our first accepting site.

I was very pleased to receive this email today not because of what it means for me individually, but because of Jered's apparent attempts to uphold ethical conduct.

I had written an email to TradeHill a few weeks ago condemning them for their treatment of smaller accounts (specifically those with < $5) after they shut down.  Today, I received this response:


Kudos, Jered.  Excellent job.

I think people need to leave Gox.  A while ago they shut down my account without any warning and stole the 25 cents I had in there (at least I assume that's what happened as no combination of email/password worked, and attempts to recover my password were hopelessly in vain).  I never even found out this had happened until I tried logging back in one day.  

Now, I don't care about the 25 cents (although, this was USD not BTC).  I've never done heavy trading on Gox and never will -- the 25 cents was a test.  But seriously, Gox easily trumps almost every other exchange in terms of horrible customer service and shadiness based upon the dozens of threads I've seen flaming them.  And, I believe they stole from me -- a quarter.  A fucking quarter.  Seriously?  Are their profit margins so slim that they 1) can't hire extra customer support staff and 2) need to steal quarters from the other side of the globe?

To me, their business appears as ugly as Karpeles's face.  And goddamn is it ugly.

3.8 k/hash, you mean?

You'll probably make around 2-3 Litecoins per day, or somewhere between 1-3 cents.

As far as using your CPU for Bitcoin, forget about it (unless you're very desperate for a few satoshis) -- mining Bitcoins with a CPU is like trying to mine for gold with your fingers.

I think that if a secondary currency (e.g. Litecoin) is to compliment a primary currency (e.g. bitcoin), it is better if they are fundamentally similar with only a few individually marked distinctions.  Litecoin's are:

-Scrypt
-Faster confirmations
-More coins

Each of these offers multiple benefits that Bitcoin does not.  Other than these distinctions, Litecoin and Bitcoin are basically the same.  If the fundamentals of a primary currency make it as great as it is, then it seems to follow that a secondary currency should use the same fundamentals to also make itself great.

Bump it like it's hot.

This is also posted in marketplace goods, but I'm drunk and want to have some fun with an auction.

You are bidding on two $10 ($20 total) Einstein Bros Bagels Gift Cards.

Bid price starts at 2.5 BTC,  increments of .25 BTC.  You are bidding on both cards.  Cards will be shipped for free to Continental US in a standard envelope.

Treat yourself to a great breakfast before work or on those lazy Saturdays and Sundays!

Auction ends in 7 days or if it sells in the goods section...or if I get really hungry and use them, whichever of these comes first.

Is it common for someone to not receive a reward payment immediately?

I have a reward payment of 1.12 BTC that was supposedly sent to me from Deepbit a few hours ago.  This transaction is showing in my list of "rewards" on Deepbit, but it has yet to hit my wallet and is not yet showing in Blockexplorer.

I've never run into this before, so I'm just a bit curious, although I would assume the payment will eventually go through.

Bump.   2 slots remaining.

For sale:

Two $10 Einstein Bros Bagels gift cards ($20 total).

Looking for $20 in BTC, free shipping in standard envelope to US address.
