Selling off now. *Can't stop shaking*

Not that I'm overly opposed to people buying drugs, but technically, aren't drugs hurting people? *Not that Tobacco/Alcohol doesn't hurt people as well*

*Everyone looks to the giant desert drink in the corner*

Wait so it has been decided that its in San Jose? Damn, I was hoping for Washington DC

*edit* I guess I will throw my own Bitcoin 2013 conference! Come to the COOL Bitcoin Conference 2013 to be hosted in Washington D.C. We will have punch.

Depending on state law, you do have to pay income tax even if you are a minor if you make a certain amount per year. I know in MD its if you make over $3,000 per year as a minor, you are supposed to pay taxes, although I'm pretty sure that law is pretty relaxed. On a $250,000 income I don't think they would be quite so lenient.

Also, on a side note, I thought you were 16 Simran?

How much are you asking for it? 24 shipped is sort of vague.

This is a sort of proxy request. A new user "matslats" wanted me to help him post his ripple address here: rDkJroFBexDTZUiJ83qcLbWwMXswoyznqj

I'm not sure if he fits the qualifications to apply here for ripples, but you can pm him and ask him anything you need to know. He is still a new user and is unable to post here.

Its no problem. Happy everything went through smoothly 

No, but you can't expect the shipper to be penalized for the fault of the shipping company IF he filed everything correctly. If he did in fact place adequate and proper insurance on the package, and did ship it out, and the shipping company is refusing to pay the insurance claim for whatever bs reason, its not the buyer or sellers fault. So it comes down to, A. the buyer gets screwed due to no fault of their own, or B. the seller gets screwed due to no fault of their own.

This is a tricky one. From the OP there are kind of conflicting issues. I will bold and give my interpretation of each section below.


Ok, so the buyer purchased insurance from the postal service through Coinabul. Coinabul charges extra to insure the package with the postal service (assuming he did so). The insurance was properly filed, but due to a time lapse limitation the postal service refused to pay the insurance claim.

Assuming all of that is correct, I don't technically think its Coinabul's fault due to the fact that he fulfilled his obligation to ship the package, and to facilitate the proper insurance. It sounds like both of you were boned by a clause in the insurance terms.

But! If that invalidation of the insurance due to price fluctuation was due to an unreasonable time lapse before Coinabul filed the claim, then I would say it is his mistake that should be fixed. Then you would also have to define unreasonable amount of time, but I guess more information is needed, as there are a lot of variables that decide is it Coinabul's fault, or the shipping company's. You can't expect Coinabul to financially burden himself over something that he did to the best of his ability that suits the needs that he had to fill, unless it was an avoidable oversight that caused the situation.

There are far too many alt currencies that come and go, to get their own subforums. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it happening for any alt currency.

Down to $33.50. On the downside, I lost a fairly substantial amount of cash. On the Upside, I had been telling everyone all day that BTC is headed toward $30, and been met with scoffs and remarks of how $100 is the next target.

I just wish being right wasn't so costly.

Nope, because I can log onto BTC-E through tor. Did that earlier and actually logged in *remind me to change my password* because I was desperate to make a trade, and got a 2 year ban.

So now I'm just on Tor watching the price change becoming more and more infuriated.

Good thing too, I was right in the middle of selling my BTC at $40.80 when it locked me out. Nice to see its $4 less than that now.

Yeah I'm seriously reconsidering ever using BTC-E again... their whitelist crap is BS. I emailed them two hours ago, and they haven't read it yet. Its let me onto BTC-E 3 times during that time for a few minutes each time, just long enough to make a trade so I could make some $, and then it screws me when I want to buy back in/sell because it refuses to load the page again... I also had a friend who could get onto the site pm support with my IP a good 4 or 5 hours ago, and still nothing... I've missed out on quite a lot of $ so far, and am not happy...

I think its dying, now more than ever.

Relax everyone. The site was not hacked. As far as I know, the site hasn't gone down (for me anyway, not sure why its not letting anyone else in, besides possibly a traffic cluster)

Dev was tinkering with something, and accidentally created a huge BTC buy order. He froze trading close to immediately, and they have been trying to get that all taken care of. There were no hacks, just a software mistake.

I managed to grab a screenshot of the situation for posterity.

The word is everything has been fixed, but they are testing.

I vote $5, because if it hits $5 I will be very happy. I may, very likely, possibly, definitely, be delusional in my prediction though.

I would suggest taking out as much of a loan in all categories as you can get, selling all of your possessions, assets, etc. Then buying BTC and filing for bankruptcy. They can't take your Bitcoins, and they will have nothing else to take. Then restart your life with your billions in Bitcoins.

I have invested in Bitcoins and Litecoins. Let it be on the record!

Yeah, my rabbit wouldn't be too happy about an additional rabbit in the house, but I've often joked about collecting his hair when he is shedding to make clothing out of. I didn't actually know thats what people did to get angora, I thought you had to wack the rabbit and skin them.
