~All Casascius coins were paid in bitcoins -- no matter how much BTC/USD was at the time. This has resulted in pretty high premiums in general, fiat-wise.
I expect Casascius coins to hold a significant "base premium" BTC-wise regardless of BTC/USD. We've seen this already: premiums have been relatively steady even when BTC/USD has moved 20x up.
Premiums have been steady, in BTC terms? I am not sure if that is what you mean, but if so, no. Cas silvers went for 3-4 btc in 2014, 2011 errors same. Now, half that at best. Relatively steady. Latest ungraded 1 BTC Cas silver I saw went for 1.5 BTC. That's a premium of 0.5 BTC compared to 2-3 BTC premiums in 2014, when Bitcoin price was maybe averaging at $500 through the year. So premium back then was maybe 5x of what it is right now, however BTC/USD is 10x of what it was back then. Cas premiums were around this during the >$15k BTC levels too. I think this tells about premiums being better related to BTC than BTC/USD.

It looks like a ton of new people, especially non-English speakers, think that DT are staff/moderators. They're not entirely wrong. After all, DT members *are* capable of effectively "banning" accounts from conducting any business here.

I can confirm that I have now received a loaded Casascius half with anacs accreditation.
Thank you Anduck and Blazed for the swift service, hopefully I will have more trades like this in the future here!
@Anduck, you can now lock this thread if this was what you were waiting for to do so (or leave it open as you wish).
Good to hear this. Thanks! Pleasure to trade with you.

I'll start the bidding at 0.65BTC for it providing I can find a good UK escrow or someone else who I can deliver it to (so I can keep my identity private) - could you estimate shipping fees anduck and is there any chance it can be shipped from the EU (I saw on your other thread you can ship from both)?
I assume I'll get 48 hours (or more) to pay once the bidding ends also?
Winner is jackg with the highest bid of 0.65 BTC! Congrats. Beware of scammers with the payment.

After eBay codified the global norm, how can anyone claim with a straight face that it's not unethical? Not allowed Bidding on your own items with another account Why does eBay have this policy? Shill bidding is unfair to buyers and it's illegal in many places in the world. We have this policy to discourage shill bidding and to make it clear what can happen when people don't follow these guidelines. Another account is something else than the same account. Also, this thread has nothing to do with any auction. Read this thread to understand that Vod blackmailed me and as the result when I did not bend, he proceeded with rating me red, and his rating contains provable lies. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4415201.msg40906371#msg40906371.

Thanks for the bid. I estimate shipping fees to be less than $50. This coin is located in USA and will be shipped from there. Payment in a few days after auction is over is OK.

This is at best some merit system misuse. Can you show some proof of scamming, or even link to evidence supporting such claims?
|
|
|
I tell you; even when rock hard proof is provided in this thread that Lauda was scamming, other DT members will still refuse to stop supporting him. It happened before.
It happened here and happened before? Rock hard proof? Could you please gather and link sources for this? Thanks.

Forum doesn't moderate scams. Its up to each individual to determine if a person is going to scam or not. The forum doesn't act as a judge,jury or executioner.
The question is why. Forum used to moderate scams, but doesn't do it currently. The main reason for that, if I recall right, is that determining if someone is a scammer can be quite subjective, framing someone as a scammer is relatively easy (so abuse surface is significant) and it also takes a lot of time. Sometimes the community at large can be very wrong. Cultural differences exist too -- something that's scamming in the western countries is nowhere near scamming in eastern -- and vice versa. For example, you may remember the OKCoin domain usage contract with likely faked signatures... People said that it's normal business in China. Maybe it is partially, maybe not, but that is just an example of possible cultural differences. Not always easy to mark someone as a scammer.

"Uh, yes your Honor, I threatened him to delete all evidence of me committing the felony, which I understand is another felony in itself, so it shouldn't be available as evidence" - Pugman in Court Also, he asked me to delete things before he threatened me monetarily....so? ?? Are you confused? Threatened you monetarily? Did he specifically ask you for money? Because that's what it means. He threatened to not pay what he owed unless <something unrelated> was done. Anyway, as others have suggested too, I think nothing good will come out of further hashing of this issue. Yes, WaffleMaster was threatened/blackmailed by Jeremypwr, but in the end got paid regardless of the blackmailing. People who read this thread should know all the facts here now and can act accordingly.
