Thanks Nightowlace!

Thanks 4ner! I like making 3d animations.

When you send a payment you will be provided with a transaction ID. You can send me the transaction ID so I can confirm payment. Typically I only receieve one payment at a time so it is easily tracked.

I ship priority from Ohio typically takes two-three days to anywhere in the country.

Yes I have everything in the original post. I also have two 2011 singles with error (original Casascius Coins with misprint) for 6BTC each.

Let me know what you would like. I can ship next day provided payment is made.

Thanks, just sent you payment and a private message with details.

Wow I'm dumb. I just overpaid on ebay... I assume you still have everything listed as available in the initial post?

And because I'm a bit of a newb (if you couldn't tell), how do you know who sent you a payment, if you're using the same address for everyone?

Are you able to say what state you're shipping from, or at least what part of the country?

Thanks!

 I am having issues with the Blockchain iPhone app working at all, and a week after filing a trouble ticket, my ticket was closed with this short response:
"The app is due for an update soon."

Cross your fingers that the update comes soon and fixes our problems.

If i deposit money using bit instant and use my block chain bit coin address will the bit coin show up in my bit coin block chain app on my iPhone? or do i have to do something else that i do not yet know about?  Please help
Yes, the value on your iPhone app should match the value on your Blockchain.info wallet.

Note that I am having huge issues with the Blockchain iPhone app working at all, and my trouble ticket was addressed and closed with this response:
"The app is due for an update soon."

So if you're having trouble with the app not reflecting the correct balance, that could be why... In which case, cross your finger that an update comes soon, and fixes your problem.

You can manipulate the ripple currency by selling at bitstamp at the rate of 10k/btc. We can cause the crash
Is your disdain for ripple due to it's structure, or is it in defense of Bitcoin? I don't mind either way, just curious.

I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm a graphic artist and print broker, been in the business for 25 years.

I created a site just for Bitcoin customers:
http://print4bitcoin.com

I'm also interested in working with developers and startups (though I'm slammed with work at the moment).
368  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Huge movement on: June 02, 2013, 03:44:18 PM
Was the order completed or is it still in progress? If it is completed, I don't see why there should be huge movements after the fact, unless some story comes out about the reason for this.
In my mind, a big sale like that moves the market down, which stirs both fear (will it drop more?) and greed (yay, BTC is on sale), thus more volatility as more people trade.
369  Economy / Economics / Re: If you are being paid interest on your money, why would you spend it? on: June 02, 2013, 03:08:54 PM
Fiat put into a savings account, in theory is invested (The banks should be using this money to make loans to others).  

That is what most people think and this is not what happens when people save money; see Fractional Reserve Banking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_reserve_banking

To me, this doesn't contradict the lending theory, it means your dollar in a bank is loaned several times over (what could possibly go wrong?).

Not that this affects anyone's answer to the original question.

You might want to keep an eye on this ebay listing, to see what people will pay for these novelty bitcoins:

371  Economy / Goods / Re: Safe Paper Wallet: Cold/offline storage for your bitcoin has never looked better on: June 01, 2013, 05:17:40 PM
Just bought a 50-pack, and I can't wait to see them! Aside from using them to give BTC as gifts and for cold storage, I may bring some blank ones to the Los Angeles Bitcoin MeetUp this week (if I get them in time).

The cart worked really well and it was my first time using BitPay. Very smooth transaction.

One thing I wondered about was, the screen where I input all my info and site password wasn't HTTPS. Should it be?
372  Economy / Goods / Want to sell your spent physical Bitcoin? on: May 31, 2013, 10:57:20 PM
Anyone have a spent physical Bitcoin they'd like to sell? I'm cheap, but I'd like to have one, even without the BTC value.

This was a tough lesson, I'm sorry it happened. To help me learn from this event (and simultaneously admit my lack of knowledge), will Bitcoin QT wallet addresses send and receive? How about online wallets like Blockchain.info or Coinbase.com)?
374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can't send BTC from my iPhone using Blockchain.info on: May 28, 2013, 02:40:04 PM
I can its just infuriating! Everytime I finally paste the bitcoin address into the moving box dues to updating bitcoin transactions and click send, 50% of the time it quickly scrolls up to the top of the screen and I re-click 'send payment' causing it to load the page again.
For some reason, the app isn't working for me. It's just stuck on one screen showing my balance, none of the buttons do anything for me. It doesn't seem to be a pervasive issue (I haven't seen anyone else report the problem), so it's annoying that the only iOS app that functions as a mobile wallet isn't working for me.
375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can't send BTC from my iPhone using Blockchain.info on: May 28, 2013, 02:04:42 PM

https://blockchain.zendesk.com/

I am not familiar with the Iphone app, but the message appears on your phone or the site?

Thanks for that link. Blockchain.info also has a GitHub support area for iOS, but it doesn't seem to be monitored, so I'm glad to see this alternative method for support. The Blockchain iOS app is pretty much frozen on one screen for me...
376  Economy / Services / Re: Want a Free, Custom, Animated GIF for BitcoinTalk.org? on: May 27, 2013, 02:18:21 PM
I would like one Tongue Maybe something to do with Jim Morrison being EPIC haha ;P

Hi Andy,

Sorry, due to my present workload, I have to back off of the free animated GIFs right now.

Also, no one seems to have noticed my original post offered to make 3D animations, which is really the only type of animation I was wanting to work on. Not a big deal, I was still happy to create a few non-3D GIFs for people.

Anyone is welcome to continue to make requests, and if anything particularly resonates with me, and I have some free time, I'll give it a go.

Thanks

Guys, calm down, Elwar is being sarcastic, he's obviously playing on the whole "Deflationary currencies are doomed because no one spends money that will be worth more in the future" concept by applying it to fiat money and showing how it doesn't hold water.
Thanks for saying that. I think the original post was an interesting discussion-starter. Definitely no need for anyone to get riled up.
378  Economy / Economics / Re: If you are being paid interest on your money, why would you spend it? on: May 26, 2013, 12:28:08 PM
Money only has value when it is spent. It doesn't make sense to keep your money in the bank forever. If the money is never spent, it is effectively worthless.
Yeah, but holding an appreciating currency for awhile, and spending it later (when it has more value), seems logical to me.
379  Economy / Economics / Re: If you are being paid interest on your money, why would you spend it? on: May 26, 2013, 01:47:39 AM
If I had a safe, longterm interest-bearing investment (perhaps a government bond that was earning 10% right now, that was purchased when that was the going rate), I certainly would not want to cash in the bond, I'd use other money and maximize the appreciating investment. And yes, interest rate vs. inflation rate (as well as what other investment options there are) are pretty huge parts of the equation to consider.

In the world of Bitcoin, I don't own much, and I surely don't want my net BTC to go down much, because I do have hopes it will be worth much more in the future. I want to keep what I think will appreciate (BTC), and spend what I don't think will appreciate (USD). If you can poke any holes in that logic, I'm all ears. Maybe if I owned hundreds or thousands of BTC, or if I had more value in BTC than in USD, I might feel different about my net BTC going down.

I'm trying to use/spend Bitcoin a bit, to understand BTC commerce better, one of many ways I'm attempting to immerse myself in Bitcoin. But overall, at least in the near term, I want my net BTC to go up, and I'm okay if that's at the expense of my net USD going down.

I don't think this means Bitcoin will fail, as some argue. I think it means it will appreciate longterm while simultaneously being used as the backbone to many amazing things we have yet to see or dream of...
380  Economy / Services / Proofreading service for your BTC sites. on: May 25, 2013, 07:40:59 PM
I was just signing up on a major Bay Area Bitcoin site, and I noticed on the only page I paid much attention to, that the punctuation was both grammatically incorrect, and inconsistently applied. It made me realize, Bitcoin sites should really make necessary efforts to be as perfect as possible on public websites, both to help make BTC as legit-seeming as possible to detractors, and just give faith to visitors that the perfection of the underlying code is as perfect as the site verbiage (a site plagued with grammatical errors is less luckily to be trusted with my BTC, bank account linking, etc.).

That said, my wife is a professional proofreader, and has worked for years for a major Los Angeles ad agency, primarily proofreading for one of the major auto companies (proofreading both print and web materials, including all the tiny legal print). If any of you big BTC players haven't had your sites professionally proofread, you should (no matter who you use to do that). Heck, small guys should too, but I know all too well, resources and time are spread thin (I haven't even asked her to proof my own sites in awhile)!

My wife's non-rush rate is $30/hour (she's not bought into BTC yet), though you could also pay the approximate equivalent in BTC after job completion. Please contact me if you would like to try her proofreading services. I'd love for her to get more involved in Bitcoin, and maybe she'll stop blanking out when I start talking about Bitcoin stuff.
