I think I understand you. If I do the answer is that he could just open the machine and take out his cash. But it would be HIS cash and HIS bitcoins inside. If this is like other BTC ATMs I have seen, the owner must fund the machine. Kinda like a gumball machine you own. You could just open it and steal the gumballs or the money, but it's all yours already.
So the owner of this low security model must place it on the counter top or somewhere else that can be monitored.

OP, we all would like to know where you got these coins from. We can see where they came from, can you tell us who?

Ooo, nice job Sherlock!
I second your question. "Where did you get these coins bro?"

I'm worried about them passing a law (pick a country) which states :
"here is your private key! if you wanna make a new one, you have to register it! If you generate your own key willy nilly, then you are a financial terrorist!!!!!!11"
Merchants will have to check the public address against some gov managed DB to make sure it's "valid"
totalitarian wet dream!!
This is where we have leverage. I go on about how minimal regulation is good for BTC. But make no mistake, once I have paid my taxes the government is done. I will not obey the laws you are worried about. If the gov wants to push that hard then they will push me underground. Then they get nothing and there is nothing they can do about it. |

Since so many people know the answer to this, can I ask where I left my car keys?

Sometimes they do.  |

.....
I understand. ...
...We do not know. That's the fact, and all I'm saying.
Before making statements such as that bolded above, I would go back and read a fair number of the court transcripts and examine the timelines. I would not make them lightly, because that actually does put you in the position of defending Karpeles, Pierce, Shrem, etc. Having read a number of the legal transcripts, I assure you that the "We do not know" statement is to a fair extent, false. I have the impression that you have not done so, but are well intentioned. This has implications. For example, your claim that Brock's stuff was "seriously looked at and investigated by a court" has no merit. In reality, a large number of "convictions" are plea bargains by those who don't have the money for court. And a large number of dismissals are achieved by way of money passing hands or otherwise an agreement being reached between the defendant and the plaintiff. And what none of the above truly handles well is the continuing fact that bad has swirled around the Bitcoin Foundation. You can't make the stink go away by trying over and over to put these characters in the "innocent until proven guilty" category. RE George Bush. Rather than discredit my point, you make it. Pierce signed up and paid to run for director only a few days before voting closed. IIRC. This put the awareness, disclosure and fact-searching relative to his past post-election, rather than prior to the election. There was actually NOT a discussion on these issues prior to the election. Bush freely admitted pre election that he'd gone through some rough times. Pedophiles are almost never in a position to plea bargain or to have their cases dropped. Maybe I have not seen it, but I find no record of a plea or court action. Not that I disagree that many crimes are bargained away, but Pedos are hated by everyone, including the other inmates and the nature of their crimes combined with high recidivism keeps most judges from dealing. In any case, the police need to be informed if anyone has any info, not me. If there is something to the charge they have the power to investigate. As far as not disclosing his past and starting his election bid at the last minute... Well, that is part of why I did not vote for him. But he did win. The time for people to ask about his past was when he was running. The bottom line is that we do not know. You say we do via court records, but where is the conviction then? |

Could you be seeing "change" transactions? Some transactions involve sending back change and may appear like a different Tx.  |

You are correct! The funny part is that when they were developing this they held "the mintchip challenge". They asked the question "What would you use mintchip for?" The number one answer was "To buy bitcoin". lol. So they picked another choice as winner and closed the contest. It was the beginning of the end for mintchip. |

So you are basically telling me that this guy is resining and speaking about other people that they are doing crimes etc... and those people won't go to jail ? Could someone please explain why ?
No. What crimes are you talking about? "Charlie Shrem engaging in alleged money laundering and associated crimes." "Brock Pierce being associated with alleged pedophilia. (Now newly elected to an industry seat)" Charlie Shrem was arrested and is facing sentencing. When that happened he left the board. As far as I know the only accusation came from the police. He was right to step down.If he had not he would have been removed. In the case of Brock Pierce there was some kind of complaint years ago. It was looked at and he was cleared. As much as pedophiles get us all upset, we can't start acting on a mere accusation. Every day we see countless baseless claims here. If that is going to be the benchmark then we are going nowhere. I myself have been accused of being in the Illuminati, a secret agent, and an alien.  If anyone has evidence of a pedophile , scammer, thief, then please do tell the police. I'll help! |

I don't know how many members are in the foundation.Those who are resigning don't know what's the reason but it's really a bad news.  It was some months ago. Several people left for various reasons including that they felt the foundation was not transparent enough. At least a few ended up not leaving after all.
Not sure why, but your posts on the bitcoin foundation are full of delusions.
Believing the things you do does not make them true....
Oh, what things? For example, your defense of Pierce. Leave the pedo stuff aside, look at his long history of hard core drug use, which he admits to, IIRC. So he publicly admits to felonies for which he has not been convicted. I'm not saying that a lot of us don't have problems, or that they perhaps shouldn't be left buried in the past. But this attitude of yours that there's a transitional line between "good human" and "bad human" crossed when a court issues a felony conviction? That's ridiculous. Second you allege that "the Foundation represents Bitcoin." Well, maybe to a lot of people and for very good reasons The Foundation represented Mark Karpeles. Ever heard of him? Ever looked at how many non profit foundations have multiple board members under criminal indictments? Basically, NONE. Not one in a thousand. But you'd ignore that, apparently... By your logic not only is Pierce innocent, but also Shrem and Karpeles, and many others who are well known scammers and hustlers. Obviously, something is rotten in your logic there. That is what I feel impelled to point out. I understand. I would ask you to consider that I am not defending Pierce, Shrem, or Karpeles. I am trying to separate facts from accusations. I lobbied against Brock Peirce for his seat. But the election had him as the winner anyway. Should I disregard a fair vote because he was accused of something in the past? Should his drug use preclude him from serving? If so then why can George Bush do acid and coke and still be president? It's true that if Brock were convicted I would feel different. Not because he goes from being good to bad, but because the claim was seriously looked at and investigated by a court rather than a bitcoin forum. Look at the case of Mark K. You would think from reading here that he stole the money at Gox. There is no evidence of that, but the people who lost money want to blame someone rather than face the idea that an anonymous thief took their money and it is gone forever. Maybe Mark did take the money, maybe not. We do not know. That's the fact, and all I'm saying. |

I don't know bout that..  I think they are? Dell, Tiger direct, and Newegg are huge tech players and were huge long before BTC. At least that's where all the gamers I know have always bought from. |

Most people have to pay capitol gains tax when they sell or spend. The rate could be from 0% - 20% depending on your tax situation. You are paying on the money that BTC has appreciated since you bought it. So if you bought a coin for $200 and when you spent it it was worth $300, you owe on the $100 of capitol appreciation. If your rate was 5% then your taxes come to $5.00. If you are spending at a loss you could also claim a loss on your taxes.
