WoW Gold should be purchasable with Bitcoin.
I'm confident they will add that ability, sometime in the future.
A lot of people exchange WoW Gold for Bitcoin and vice versa. I bought a couple of mounts last year with bitcoin. |

WoW gold predates Bitcoin. Are you talking about WoW tokens? They're new but they only allow the exchange of gold and game time. I don't think Bitcoin would be useful for that.

Just as a heads up, FCI Englewood is not a pretrial detention facility....it ONLY houses Federally sentenced inmates.
So, unless he has a prior federal charge and was posting from prison on this board, its not the same person. (If he was posting back then, I don't know and haven't bothered to look)
Source: I was in federal prison a few times, and I know how the detention process works. They have a few regional pretrial lockups, but mostly pretrial detainees are held at local county jails or private CCA facilities.
Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I said it probably wasn't him which in turn means I can't find anything. Maybe he went straight to Guantanamo.  |

If you take fiat out of the equation then I used Bitcoin to do 100% trustless trades using escrow four years ago.
That is not 100% trustless at all as you were trusting an escrow. ACCT needs no escrow - it is *truly trustless* (read here http://ciyam.org/at/at_atomic.html). There is *no third party* as the escrow is actually the ATs (which are smart contracts not people). So no-one was doing this four years ago and in fact no-one is even doing it today - it will be done in about a month though between the two blockchains that support Automated Transactions. Ok, not trustless but it works. We're still not solving the big problem that needs to be solved. I don't need a way to exchange Bitcoin for product or Bitcoin for services. I already have that. I need to exchange Bitcoin for dollars without getting screwed. LBC has become too hot for me lately. |

Thanks for keeping up with this hlynur. I'm still looking back through the pages and occasionally finding something new to watch.

If we take fiat out of the equation then the technology to create 100% trustless safe transfers exists.
The technique is known as "atomic cross-chain transfers" and the Automated Transactions system (AT) that is running live on the Burst platform *has this capability* (once we have deployed AT on the Qora platform we will demonstrate ACCTs between those two blockchains on their "mainnets" which will be a world's first).
No need for any website or centralised service at all (can all be done neatly and easily from the two blockchain wallets involved in the transfer).
It should be possible to get AT to work on a Bitcoin clone (and I've offered a 20 BTC bounty for just that) so if the community would like to be doing trustless trades across blockchains they should be requesting their favourite coin devs incorporate AT so they can get this feature.
If you take fiat out of the equation then I used Bitcoin to do 100% trustless trades using escrow four years ago. That's easy to do. The problem is we can't remove fiat from the equation. If you want to do something impressive then find a way to safely move Bitcoin into and out of the fiat world without requiring some licensed business that needs to gouge you with fees to pay for their initial investment. |

If you follow cases like this it has the hallmark of ...
mmhh hmmmm... so... open-ended speculation ... If we had the police report it would substantiate that notion.
If we had the report, it might substantiate that notion, or it might counterdict it.... But we don't have that report, now, do we? As for my sentencing prediction, that's based on the indictment, the probability of conviction based on the history of cases like it,
Cases like what? Like your open ended flight of fancy you outline above?When you can find a case in which "unlicensed money transmitter" is the 1st in a multiple count indictment and the person was ultimately found NOT guilty, I will reconsider my prediction. I've done my homework, I found tons of cases where "guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business" is almost always part of the plea agreement, judge and/or jury finding. That's the low hanging fruit. I want to see that arrest report, I want to get an idea of what may have sparked the 35 man raid, and why he may have spent that 'extra time' in fed detention. Make no mistake, I would love for the feds to drop the case, or for burt to beat it. I'd like to see an arrest report too. At least I'd like to see any info on what actually happened. I found only one record of anything happening with that name in all the searches I've done. FCI Englewood had a detention record for a Burton William Wagner registration number 40708-013 released on 10/17/2014. If that's his middle name then that could be him but he was released long ago so I doubt it's the same person. I did two paid public record searches and came up with only that. I researched all the articles of the arrest written by every source I can find and they all circle back to one source and one scribd post of the complaint. |

So tell us the story Bruno. Was it over drugs and not mainly Bitcoin? Was he arrested in Denver or Boulder? Was he arrested for money laundering drug money or just for being an unlicensed exchange? Were there 20 cars with 35 agents kicking down the door or did two agents knock on the door? What were the three big yellow letters on the back of their windbreakers?
I have no intention of calling a stranger. I don't know who she is or how reliable the info would be anyway.

No, I'm assuming that he lived in Boulder, Colorado
Your assumption is not far from the mark, yet still wrong. where 35 federal agents coming to town would be newsworthy all by itself. You can't take shit in Boulder without your hippie neighbors finding out and reporting it to the media because you flushed it down instead of saving it for your organic garden. Believe me I know, I used to ski Breckenridge every year when I was in college. I have family in Boulder.
mmmhh hmm. You _used_to_ ski Breck (a good distance in time of travel, and much further in culture from Boulder - which is in turn a city in which Burt Wagner does not live), and you have 'family' in Boulder (which is in turn...). Sorry - I am Questioning your Authority. I live here. Nothing in the media. Not even a mention of his arrest, let alone how many agents were involved. Actually, I'm not sure why I am arguing this point. I don't know how many agents were involved, and _you_ don't know how many agents were involved. I find the 35 figure plausible. You claim such a figure is... what was it?... as likely as flying donkeys - IOW, impossible. Here in a metro where... umm ... "You can't take shit in Boulder without your hippie neighbors finding out and reporting it to the media", we have not even a mention of the arrest of a longtime, seemingly upstanding member of the community on notable charges. This might suggest that dissemination of this fact is being suppressed. 35 agents or two. Anyone else been able to find any of the court proceedings other than the indictment? You have read this thread right? I'm told by one of his friends that he's from Boulder. I'm no longer convinced this even happened. I'd like to see something more concrete as proof. My world changed on October 14, 2014 when twenty plus cars surrounded my home and, according to my neighbors, 35 federal agents raided my house. The federal agents refused to tell me why they had arrested Burt, what they were searching for, or why they were tearing up our home.
No one would give me any information. By the end of the week, Burt had spent one night in Denver County Jail and two nights in the special housing unit at the federal detention center. |

Sounds good, what im not convinced about is the world, it's really hard to pronounce "empleopled".
 empleopledIs it cool to advertise another Bitcoin forum here? |

The Bitcoin experiment has successfully proven that people can't live and play well with others. They need a strong government and the force of law to make them behave. Sorry anarchists and liberitarians, your plans ain't gonna work. Before you even get your communes set up someone will have stolen everything you own.

Nun of the above. That should be an option, for the lols, of course  Option added to the poll. And now for something completely different.  |

Can anyone link to the article written on this story? A raid involving 35 agents would have media coverage and I can't find it.
Yes, one would think that there would be significant media coverage. Nothing. I live in the same metro. Newspaper silence. Yet I find the 35 agents figure completely plausible. Well I guess it's possible that the hundreds of people that would have witnessed the vehicles for 35 Feds cordon off a city block while a house was searched for hours just ignored it completely. I also believe it's entirely possible for donkeys to fly. You must be from the densely populated eastern urban corridor. No, I'm assuming that he lived in Boulder, Colorado where 35 federal agents coming to town would be newsworthy all by itself. You can't take shit in Boulder without your hippie neighbors finding out and reporting it to the media because you flushed it down instead of saving it for your organic garden. Believe me I know, I used to ski Breckenridge every year when I was in college. I have family in Boulder. |

Thanks for the link but could you find a source from a mainstream news outlet? This is an almost word-for-word rehash of the same single statement I've read before. These bitcoin news writers aren't real reliable sources as far as I'm concerned. They all just seem to parrot each other and restate Reddit stories.

Judging by the amount of bitching and petty bickering on this forum I'd say Bitcoin is only used by women, gay men and furries.
