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.
Thanks buddy....appreciate the feedback! No problem. My apologies for spelling your moniker incorrectly lol.

The ethical problem is that they allow the deposits and transactions to occur, THEN lock the account. This "suspicious activity" is, as was already pointed out, completely undefined. As applied it appears that all bitcoin transactions can also be called "suspicious activity."
+1 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.

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. Edit: 0bd0cb23e06be15bce0c2812aaf583aadb5f55ed527243da61c50e139a62d6d7

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: XXXX,
My apologies on the long delay getting back to you. I have been sending out checks or Bitcoins for accounts with very low balances. Let me know which you would prefer and I'll take care of it for you. I can't afford to pay people to process the small amounts so I'm doing it all myself. I'm the only one working at TradeHill currently.
Regards, Jered
Jered Kenna Chief Executive Officer TradeHill / BItcoin.com
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.

My cpu is currently mining at 3.8 megahash per second, i know kinda lame, how much LTC do you expect me to make?
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.

Litecoin is sort of like Bitcoin Pennies, so maybe it needs to find a niche where it can be a subdivision of wealth to an extremely small degree.
If bitcoin succeeds in becoming "The original crypto-currency", then it will become more of a holding medium than a spendable currency, much like gold. LTC, being that block/transaction confirmations are 4x faster, and there are 4x more coins to go around, I think it will become what people eventually end up using for day to day transactions. +1 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.

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.

Hell sir. I am very much interested in the item you have for sale. Since I am currently overseas for business, I shall arrange for my shipper to pick the item up at a time and date of your convenience. He will exchange with you a cashiers check for five thousand USD ($5000) which I request you deduct the cost of your item from and return the difference.
What a buffoon.
