Great service and communication from bowen151: I've just received my two .5 coins, I also took the empty 5BTC.
Quick delivery and good packaging, thanks again.

So I'd guess from a quick test that these are class 6 cards- pretty good Smiley
I think the second half should be in Teka's thread, not here Tongue

Been a while since I've bought any coins, but looking to buy again! Currently looking for around 5, may ask for more

Received my coin capsule and Bitcoin sticker in the post today, didn't realise it was that big!

Thanks very much again Bowen.

The units have arrived and will be shipped out tomorrow afternoon.

Nice one, looking forwards to it!

I heard of a story of someone's BTC being hacked despite all measures being taken, such as Paper Wallet, Truecrypt, and offline access, but they still got hacked.

It does make me paranoid, but I guess that's just some of the risks of using Bitcoin.

"Humans are the weakest link in IT Security Chain"


Humans are the weakest link in general. I vote we move to a system with robot overlords. And robot workers. In fact, lets get rid of humans and just have robots.

But yeah, a good penetration tester will be a good social engineer too. Charm and a few good words can get you in a private network relatively easily.

Don't worry, Craynon vouched for him being legit.

The units have been manufactured and are being shipped out to me so they will probably arrive on Wednesday. If you have a any doubts about me not being legit you could always ask Tinua (His Order has been fulfilled and he has received 25 working units) . There were simply no updates to give out until today.
That's fine, just wondering Smiley

I am Craynon Tongue
I'm not worried about them being legit, just wondering if they'd been manufactured yet or what stage they're at

I'm proud to be a part of the Bitcoin community and I'm relatively new!
I don't think cryptocurrencies will replace fiat, but I can't imagine they'll disappear now.

Hi, any update on these?
51  Economy / Goods / Re: New UK reseller of 0.5BTC casascius coins - Worldwide shipping included. on: May 13, 2013, 05:55:44 PM
Just got home to find my coin and I have to say, I couldn't be happier.

Very well packaged, looks nice and secure with the coin in a small resealable plastic bag, sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, then wrapped in bubblewrap and then placed in a moneybag, before being placed in a padded envelope. Postage was very quick and communication/customer service was faultless.

Checking the mini-key confirmed the presence of the 0.5 Bitcoin and the coin itself is very clean and looks almost untouched!

Thank you very much Bowen!

Aww damn, would have used  FPS if I'd known that!

Sorry about that craynon, I did post about this but this thread is pretty cluttered now with my updates. I'm thinking a fresh one thats clear and concise could help my cause a bit more than this one.
Not before I paid though, I think

I understand that, but he thought I could PhotoShop a bank statement for proof. Was getting bad vibes from him so no longer carrying out deal anyway
55  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for UK Escrow on: May 11, 2013, 01:17:58 PM
I can do it. Up to you whether you think I'm trustworthy enough

If I solo mine, which address will the coins appear on? The first address in my wallet?

Good luck on getting in!

A few points (speaking based on UK law, no idea how it translates to US law):

You can only be prosecuted for trespass if you refuse to leave the property or return after being asked to leave. Being caught is not grounds for arrest. Most people get done for Breaking & Entering

Businesses can refuse any business that they want: they're not offering a 'contract' to sell to you, you're offering a 'contract' to buy from them. They can literally turn down your business with no reason whatsoever.

And if the front door of a business with publically declared opening hours is open, that does not mean an open invitation to the public. Plus you wouldn't get past the lobby/reception usually even if you did walk in.

Posts pics though if you do go Wink

man UK laws are fffuuuucccckkkkeeedddd

enjoy having zero means to defend yourself while i concealed carry

also, shariah law

you guys need to take your country back

OP: gogogogogogoo take video with sound, or atleast pictures

learn as much as possible
Nah, our laws are largely pretty good. I'm opposed to gun ownership personally

OP: Well done, the report doesn't fill me with confidence but good to hear something!

It's not the forums responsibility, but implementing two-factor auth is relatively simple and will prevent so much drama and scam accusations stemming from hacked accounts
59  Economy / Services / Re: John (John K.)'s escrow service (previously known as johnthedong) on: May 10, 2013, 09:13:48 PM
Hi there, do you just hold the coins and when payment is received you release coins? I have a seller complaining that its not a safe escrow for him as I could claim I've sent payment, photoshop a bank statement and I'd be trusted over him, as he is a new member.

Anyway I can reassure him?

What do I put for URL:PORT and USER:PASSWORD? A node and its port I'm guessing, no idea for the last two?
