Replied via PM and sent my escrow contract with the address within to both of you.

It's due to the fees involved, which discourages spammy transactions.

Over here, I can get unlimited internet for my mobile around ~$10 a month, if you can live with the slow speeds.
3050  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is the bitcoin client going to break the economy? on: March 14, 2013, 03:21:24 AM
In 3 more years, the system may be so complex that the only people who are able to run the client are the ones who have been running for the past 3.

or... people who realise the first 99% of the blockchain can be downloaded via torrent, purchased on BD-R*, etc, and then only use the client to download the remaining 1%

maybe one day, your local library will have up-to-date copies of the blockchain on disc that you can borrow

This, or use one of those lightweight clients. You could even just sign your transactions manually with Armory/Bitcoin-QT and pushing the transactions manually over blockchain.info.

Can't you see how stupid this is?  Huh

The thread is 19 posts long and only a single bid in the auction so far. I am considering giving up. Yes, you can scam each other as much as you want, I thought I would like to be a part of this community, but it is too much of a burden for a normal person to play this hide-and-seek. If anyone cares, the silver is now selling at about spot price, 20% cheaper than any dealer in the EU.

By the way, the escrow was added. I am fine with John K.

I can understand your concerns and I posted repeatedly in the "trust noone" thread that it's important to trust people and fuck it, people should just trust people, otherwise what kind of world would that be?

However you need to understand there have been a lot of abuses of trust on these forums. This is due to the nature of the money we use as you will surely understand. With other forms of payment you usually have either chargeback capability or identifying information of the payment receiver. This is why you "cash first, it's like it has always been in the metal business" doesn't quite apply.

Thanks for offering use of escrow. It's a rather easy way to make things possible (apart from building trust yourself here and/or on #bitcoin-otc). I'll have to find out who "John K." is, though.


I recently changed my name to remove the dong reference.  Tongue

Really love how the rhetoric is always exactly the same for these Ponzis. Is there a distance learning course where you all graduate in scamistry or something?
I remember reading that they offer such courses in Nigerian colleges.

Also, OP you should start owning up that you own this business. It's getting so obvious that it's painful to read.
3054  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to gain Trust? on: March 13, 2013, 12:19:02 PM
To start off quickly without having to build the trust needed painstakingly, prior references would be good as a starting point.

Yes, exactly. That is the whole point. In the world out there, many people far more excellent than the one speaking, are waiting to join and serve the community. What are the recommended ways how to transfer the existing trust? Practically. Could you please write a concise guide? Even today I am attending a club meeting with 10-15 people in the same situation as I or 6-months behind. Your help will be a great benefit!
I can only give a general write up on that as the existing trust for the person involved differs greatly person by person. An obvious and fast method would be to 'link' yourself easily, like what you did just now, and publish the fact when trying to buy/sell/conduct trade that requires trust upfront. Another would be to establish oneself by having other repped' members vouch for him, but that will depend on the level of trust the voucher commands.

An example of someone using his real-world trust here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141608.msg1508486#msg1508486

Just in case why you're wondering that the level of paranoia is high here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119896.0
We're dealing with a currency that is highly anonymous and virtually impossible to reverse.

Thanks. Just in case you haven't seen my post here regarding your trust issue: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152456.msg1619777#msg1619777

Answered that already Smiley However I need to attend to other business now for about 72 hours, during which we will also update the Silverbank.net website. We already have bitcoin accounts for the partners of the company. The launch of bitcoin accounts for all our customers will be in April if certain legal and tax matters are cleared. Then this will be another service to offer investing in bitcoin for people in 190 countries. Our speciality is that you can trade physical silver for fully backed bitcoins and back, at .25%-1% fee. Directly, without currency.
Great! I would be interested in such a service provided that everything is fully insured and risk-free. The existing services here are mostly provided in the form of shares, but I'm still hesitant to invest due to risk issues.

I've read through your post here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151800.0 to see why you're particular about this 'trust' issue. Please consider the fact that anyone doing some research over the internet can easily forge and assume someone else's identity easily unless there's some verification measures taken in hand. Your thread there provides absolutely nothing except stating that you're Risto Pietilä, and you're the owner of Eesti Investeerimishobe OU, which someone else could easily state too. I would suggest you start off by adding a small entry on your silverbank.net site (https://www.silverbank.net/index.php/en/meista/our-company) stating that you're rpietila on bitcointalk.org. That would help link your identity here in order to establish trust.  You can also link yourself on Twitter/ other business websites that you own etc to prove that you're this guy we're talking with.

I wish you good luck in your business here.

Oh, I see your point. Being half-anonymous seems to be as practical as being half-pregnant...

Silverbank.net website updated:
https://www.silverbank.net/index.php/en/meista/our-company

Yeah, you either go all in or go all anonymous. To build trust as an anonymous person would be quite hard, although I admit it's quite possible either. To start off quickly without having to build the trust needed painstakingly, prior references would be good as a starting point.

Approximately 6~ escrow transactions in two days. This is sure a busy week...

PS: I'm in UTC+8 timezone currently, so any PM's between 12AM-9AM might not get a response immediately.
