You being egcellent means you owe me 3.5 btc for that copy of AC3 you never delivered. If you are going to repay, then great. Otherwise I will file a police report and come after you.

Best reply in the whole thread... A pearl, indeed.

Way to necro, faggot

Lovely weather we're having this time of year.

Is that a gold-bar USB stick where you keep your bitcoins? (similar to http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Gold-Bar-Flash-Drive/dp/B00443EWG2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_misc_2)

Indeed it is, well spotted eagle eyes, though with the lenders forum interest rates with guaranteed returns being 1.5 - 2% per week! & pirate pass throughs of 6.9% per wk compound, let alone direct with pirate for 7% it's no surprise that that usb storage bar is empty atm, just as I would love a 1oz gold Casascius BTC1,000 coin but atm the opportunity cost is too high for me as in 1 year I could buy 2 by safe lending.

edit: one needs BTC1,000 Casascius gold coins that can also be loaned, the btc of them that is...    Tongue

Your greed, people, will be your downfall.



By that you mean... ?!

I think he's referring to scammy ponzis, investments that hide their source of capital, unverified stocks/bonds, etc.

How the hell does that even work? I thought I understood PGP but, wouldn't it be like making a bitcoin address with a custom name in it or something where you needed to go through trillions of iterations to create it?
There's a script that I have for it.  And not really AFAIK.

Also, it takes like 2-3 minutes.

Bitcoin gives the common man access to a tax haven, previously the domain of the rich.

Please say more.  How does bitcoin provide any kind of different tax haven then paper money already did? 


It doesn't, it just lets you get rid of the goods quicker when the cops bust in.

Loved the magazine. Thanks to the entire team.

Hope you got a subscription! If not, http://subscribe.bitcoinmagazine.net

It will be cheaper to buy it now than any time in the future as we will stop the policy of losing money on shipping by next week and Barnes & Noble pricing will be more.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about the pricing (within reason), just as long each subsequent issue is better than the proceeding one.

~Bruno~


How about we all agree to have them charge you more for each subsequent issue then?

LOL.


are shipping costs likely to change once production moves to the UK? Wondering if it's worth waiting to subscribe if so...

It will probably be the same for some time.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about the pricing (within reason), just as long each subsequent issue is better than the proceeding one.

Eventually, that will be impossible to maintain, but for the time being it's a personal guarantee.

I have also supervised construction of record keeping systems shown below, but larger. I oversaw a couple projects for Iron Mountain in the Chicagoland area.



That picture is a collection of Atlas's forum posts. Don't lie.

I've worked in:

Housing renovations
Demolition
Roofing
Electrician
Plumbing
Carpentry
Drywalling


But all when I was 18 and I don't remember any of it.

Also I'm a certified locksmith. Wink

After much harassment, I got him to "go through his managers" and get a bitcoin address to send -him- bitcoins.

1CovpUiNiuUvsB3srVv2mDx3GWvrX9rfiR

It's a blank wallet he created "just to prove" that he knows how to use Bitcoin, but he admits it is not connected to any other relative wallets so there is no way of seeing if they even have bitcoins to sell, which would not be conclusive but would at least prove they're choosing not to send bitcoins instead of actively just pretending to have them.

Unironically, I told him I was sending a BTC amount to him to confirm it, and not only can he not confirm it, but he did not send it back.
3176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / SCAM WARNING -- easzpay -- www.easzpay.com on: June 25, 2012, 01:58:47 PM
I know we all know this is a scam, but it's worth having this resource on the forums and Google's listings to show people who have half the sense  to do some checking up on things before they buy into them.


The owner of easzpay.com has been spamming this forum under dozens of fake accounts, is permabanned, creates another account, process repeats dozens and dozens of times per week.

As shown in this thread, Theymos states:

I don't know why he bothers. His posts usually get nuked pretty quickly. No need for a sticky, IMO.

These are the IPs he's used, if someone wants to try tracking him down:

Several people from the community have already tried buying Bitcoins from this service just to test it and none to date have received any.

Even other communities have reports of their scammy behavior.

DO NOT BUY LIBERTY REVERSE MONEY FROM THIS SITE

I ordered some Liberty Reverse money and paid with a credit card through paypal 11 days ago and i haven't got my money on LR Sad
$9,88 LOST
On the order status it says "Processing"...

I've tried to contact them vi chat and mail but on mail they don't answer and on chat I write my problem and then they don't answer Sad


DO NOT BUY LIBERTY REVERSE MONEY FROM THIS SITE



My repeated conversations with the scammers over their own site's help chat have only confirmed suspicions in the beginning and if the price of their bitcoins weren't obvious enough that something is fishy, this non-clickable image should be enough reason to avoid them:



There is no BBB listing for their company, which they list as:

Quote
Easzpay inc.
care of Network Solutions
PO Box 459
Drums, PA. US 18222

This is not their address, obviously.

For your entertainment, a chat log with the scammers.

So the next time you see a link trying to sell bitcoins, think twice.

For everyone else who already knows about this, take this as a reflection on the daily spam we see from them and feel free to vent here.

AFAIK, you can chargeback a wire transfer on the grounds that it wasn't initiated by you (there also needs to be evidence suggesting this). You cannot dispute a wire transfer on the grounds that the seller didn't send the products/not as described.

Right. It happens daily though and people constantly claim their bank accounts were hijacked and get money sent back to them from the exchange's company accounts. Why do you think so many exchanges are going out of business? Wire transfers are the devil. The only thing more shady and dangerous is SMS payments and Credit cards. There is a need for a digital > digital irreversible payment method like MintChip.
3178  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Poll] Did you pay when you ordered your ASIC? on: June 25, 2012, 08:31:15 AM
It's not possible. At least not in Germany.

SEPA?
3179  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Poll] Did you pay when you ordered your ASIC? on: June 25, 2012, 08:28:53 AM
I just wonder how many chose the wire transfer option in hopes of a chargeback in the event that BFL misses their target shipping dates by a wide margin.

It is not possible to charge back a wire transfer.

Completely wrong. It is absolutely possible to charge back a wire transfer, even internationally. It happens daily and it's the reason bitcoin exchanges are becoming less and less profitable.

Seriously though, in 9 years from now when some of us are millionaires from our early adoption, early investments, high quality products, continuous risk taking and hard work into more professional and widespread markets, he'll be 27, still working at Walmart, and trying to get loans from us to fly to see his girlfriend on the internet and pay for printing out flyers to let everyone know the terrible secret of outer space.
