BitInstant's business must be suffering big time.

Been waiting 2 days on my latest.  |

When you preorder something, you get it when you get it...plain and simple. Don't want the stress? Don't pay in advance for a product that hasn't made it into production and shipped yet...

Withdrew just over $100 to Dwolla 8 hours ago and no sign of it. Indefinite wait fun again!

I suppose the market needs people who refuse to listen to good advice though, or else all the cutrate vendors would go out of business.
It's not that they don't listen, the just can't overcome their learned compulsion to be cheap. Cheap, not thrifty. Always costs them more in the end... |

I buy computer power supplies so that I'm drawing at most (during extreme resource utilization) 2/3rd's of their rated wattage.
Overspeced = cooler running/longer life/better efficiency.

FYI, saturated fats aren't the problem. It's actually the type of fat our bodies are able to use the best. It's other stuff that inflames the arteries that cause cholesterol to stick to their walls...

Would like to see brand names in the links on the browse pages. Hard to navigate things that are just generically named like "20 inch monitor...".

I love how hey don't document details like this on their website.

Just because there are only 21 million actual bitcoins, doesn't mean the bitcoin economy is restricted to that amount.
I think the fact that Bitcoins are currently actually made up of 100 million Satoshi's each should be part of the basic introduction to this way of transacting. That means that there are potentially 2100 trillion currency units available. And you can always add more decimal places... |

Just set up an account to have in the future. I entered my Dwolla account # on the Profile page, but when I go to the Sell Coins section it says I don't have a Dwolla ID entered. Tried logging out and logging back in, but it didn't change.
Investigating. Thanks for the feedback. On edit: Dwolla payable status show reflect correctly on sell page now. Thanks. Works for me now! |

Currently only PayPal and Dwolla are active. The rest will be enabled within a day.

My experience that if you keep it in small amounts, they transfer quickly.

A troll or scammer? Don't think so, and you seem like an asshole for trying to make those accusations. He seems to be expressing the same frustrations I feel dealing with the community of "clearnet" BTC users. On the SA forum, it's quite clear that he (along with everyone else there) thinks that Bitcoin is a joke and BTC users are a bunch of idiots who will fall for any scam. Not only does that make me think that he is not serious about delivering, and may just be trolling the users here, but even if he is genuinely interested in selling, fuck him for his opinions and contempt, and fuck his whole business. If customers are OK with buying from someone who thinks so poorly of them, that's their problem, but at least they should know it. Sounds like you two have history. |

I wonder if we'll see some cancellations of orders from people that were hoping to get a quick benefit before the reward drop.
Since mining is a game, whether you want to call it skill-based or gambling, I would think it's even more exciting for people to stick it out in hopes of the BTC price doubles with the reward drop. |

All this does is strengthen my association of "ex-con" with living in a police state. It no longer has any automatic negative connotation.
Exactly. According to this post of him, Roger apparently provoked the wrong people, and got sent to jail for a non-crime that normally is not actually punished. Looks like he made the mistake of not operating under a government created fiction called a corporation. The people who they should have prosecuted got away with just stopping sales of the product: http://amarillo.com/stories/2003/01/18/usn_missouricom.shtml |

A troll or scammer? Don't think so, and you seem like an asshole for trying to make those accusations. He seems to be expressing the same frustrations I feel dealing with the community of "clearnet" BTC users. Then again he's trying to market items, the bulk of which is obsolete and priced above the current going rate elsewhere, to a tiny potential BTC customer base. And the reality is that it's very tough to profitably sell late-model tech online (ebay, etc), even if you're getting paid to dispose of it. I had to give up doing it in bulk 10 years ago. Too much competition and not enough buyers, so the prices fall quickly. If anything, you have to focus on the cream of the crop. It's frustrating wading through a "catalog" website that only has maybe 5% of it's inventory that's actually appealing to potential buyers out there. If I was the OP and I had stuff like that coming in constantly and wanted to sell the stuff that's not popular online, I would focus my efforts into opening a thrift/surplus store type of operation with low pricing so you could turn over as much stuff as possible. Then again, it might be cheaper just to recycle or throw it out these days. I'm saying that while BTC-spending buyers here can be extremely demanding, it's mostly the fact that there's hardly anyone domestically who's interested in buying the OP's stuff period. And the people who can market this kind of stuff in other countries, who don't find 5 year-old technology so disposable, understandably want it as close to free as possible. |
