Are you an employee or owner of CONTACT?  Or are you some sort of affiliate?  What is your AML program for this service? 
323  Other / Off-topic / Re: [ANN]Legal complaint against bitcoinica.com on: February 17, 2012, 12:19:03 AM
A little Google searching indicates Paraipan is from Romania.  Did you move to Spain, or just complain there?

To what extent is Bitcoin Magazine associated with user paraipan? I ask because he is advertising the magazine in his signature.

See this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64176.0

He filed a legal complaint against Bitcoinica with the Spanish police because he has an issue with potential money laundering and/or unregulated speculation. 

All the while, he has a little "business" selling fiat currency for Bitcoins.  (Which somehow doesn't have the potential money laundering problems... really...)

Seems like the petty move of a spiteful bitter man.

I hope Bitcoin Magazine isn't associated with him in any way.  If you are I won't be ordering any more issues after this first one.  What is your refund policy by the way?

This is the face

of a huge fucking hypocrite


You are sending cash through the mail to anonymous people, and you have a problem with Bitcoinica?  How much did you get zhoutonged for? Why are you so bitter?  What is this really about?

Which Spanish police dept did you contact?  I'd like to let them know about your little venture.

Keep your distance from this service and any others offered by paraipan.  He is hurting the Bitcoin community.

There is no point in fighting a system that will crush you, when you can bit the system from inside out. And who knows, once everything is done, some well established company will see the beauty of Bitcoin and may start rethinking their business model. Still, our goal is to push forward Bitcoin and make it mainstream and once a large number of transaction are made using BTCs, then... we will be able to enjoy Bitcoin's amazing features. Once again our goal as an exchange is not to think 3 month ahead, but at least 3 years ahead of things!

Mt Gox is the most positive force for Bitcoin right now.  Keep up the great work.

Oh, pool hopping.  That doesn't bother me.  Interesting business.

Seems like your heart is in the right place.  Pardon my unfounded suspicions.
330  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [115%] I want your hashing power! "Project #2" 115% PPS! on: February 16, 2012, 02:27:46 AM
So what should someone who's been mining for you do when after they use their mined coins to buy Alpaca Socks law enforcement shows up and tells them that their coins were the marked proceeds from a sting operation related to drugs, arms sales, child porn trade, or that they were bitcoins reported previously stolen and that they have a warrants to seize all their computers to look for evidence?

The word on IRC is that these private services which pay >100% PPS in BTC for mining are doing this because they're attempting to get rid of 'dirty' coins which could potentially be traced in exchange for freshly mined coins.  Certainly this is the only thing I've heard that makes any economic sense at all, but if it's true don't the miners have a right to know what role they're playing in this and what risk they're taking?

Have I got it wrong?  Can you help me understand what the business is here?

Can those who mine on this pool show us some of the funds they received in block explorer? Are you getting "fresh" coins or old ones?

Goat, where is the FAQ that you referred gmaxwell to?  You seem like a cool guy, but this pool seems too good to be true.

Yes.

This is unethical weather there was an actual contract or not.
This is the wild wild west. Everything is sold as-is without any warranty.  Sorry if you don't like the new system, but you are free to leave.

336  Economy / Speculation / Re: steady selling pressure, should be at $3.00 very soon on: February 16, 2012, 01:05:00 AM
Now that we broke into the 3's, expect a small rebound before we start heading towards the $2's.

New psychological level is now set at 3's.

Will not be long before we are back into the 2's.
LOL

OP's credibility: negligible.  He is just talking, hoping luck will make him sound smart.

Have you ever read the terms for anything online?  MOST of them are like this.  I am not saying it is good, but it certainly is not abnormal.  Due to gox being in Japan (unless you also are in Japan) you have very little recourse anyhow.  This does not change much!

Yep, this is standard practice.  I don't see anything in the terms particularly out of the ordinary.  

That they retain your account info for 5 years after a delete request seems kind of crazy, but this is what you have to do as a financial institution to prevent people from laundering money through your service then deleting all records of it.
339  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Intersango Exchange on: February 16, 2012, 12:55:22 AM
Another suggestion for intersango...

Offer a liquidity discount for people using limit orders. I believe some forex brokers do this. It would kill two birds with one stone... fix your high fees and boost the orderbook.
I would move to your platform if you offered this.

Everyone important agrees ...
I don't think you are as important as you think you are...
