Anyone want to counter? Only a few days left!

I can't imagine any english speaking person that uses bitcoin that is not on these forums.  The entertainment is totally worth it.

Next bitscalper is going to start selling web and server design.

I think the more low-hanging fruit would have been:

  • Customer service
  • Wallet backup service

So right now I guess a nearly $700 brand new laptop is going to be going for like $200? Ridiculous...

Been to Laguna Beach lately? Throw away as many tourists as you want, there will be more in the morning.

Not lately. I lived there and managed some retail businesses there in the last decade though.
4386  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Flexcoin is now owned by James Gray on: March 14, 2012, 02:20:50 AM
Since FlexCoin is not a major corporation with stocks and private operating agreements, there is nothing wrong with them announcing publicly that they intend to sell (which they already did in a previous thread), but I think you should display a notice on your website and e-mail your customers in the very least to announce this before any transfer of ownership is made. It is extremely bad form to rely on the forums for customer communication on issues that could potentially result in the theft of customer information. It is basic math:


If (current_deposits > purchase_price) risk = high;

If (current_deposits <= purchase_price) risk = low;

Since the amount of purchase hasn't been released (to my knowledge, could be wrong on that one) I would assume a high risk scenario for customers, at least for their account information, transaction histories, etc.

@"Founder", we've had our run-ins in the past, but I am sure we can both agree that my only problem has ever been your presentation. Please listen to me when I say, that presentation is most-important on the way off stage.


@Mark, welcome to the community and whether by independent development or purchase, we're all glad to see more people getting involved in the business of Bitcoin. That said, your point that you cannot buy trust is absolutely true and in a community of selfish nerds, you better believe that buying-in is twice as suspicious as independent development. Be ready for the trolling, and always provide your honest information. Else you risk ending up like CoinExchanger and BitScalper.

Cheers

Where do I send the 5BTC for the bounty btw?

Send it either to the forum at 17RTTUAiiPqUTKtEggJPec8RxLMi2n9EZ9 (used for forum expenses only) or to me at 1NXYoJ5xU91Jp83XfVMHwwTUyZFK64BoAD (used for anything I want).

Sent!

Why does this job need to be given only to homeless people? If they are paid less than a normal worker would be (and they are, since they aren't paid anything at all), I'd say this is profiteering off the poor.

Because they have the least chance to make money.

(Except the ones in Laguna Beach, CA which can make upwords of $100 a day just begging to tourists, which they throw away on alcohol nightly. The $100, not the tourists.)
4389  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitscalper back to business on: March 14, 2012, 02:09:10 AM
So people who try to protect folk like you, the more naive variety, from losing more money are fucking idiot douchebags? Ha ha, hoo, hoo!

It's a classic catch 22. The libertarians frown at you for trying to "protect" them from danger and call you evil government if you try, and then when they get raped and you just stand there watching they call you inhumane.

Yes, i never thought scamming was a mental illness but after reading bitscalper posts i think it is a serious illness

i no rite?

I seriously think he's a sociopath who believes everything he says.
4391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Ultimate Dilemma on: March 13, 2012, 06:36:53 PM
What's to become of the poisoned stolen coins then? I sure as hell hope I don't start receiving them through bitcoinfog or something, then load a gox account and have them seize it. Or after awhile I guess they 'self clean'..?

I don't think anyone has an issue with third-hand or fourth-hand coins, not even exchanges (so long as they investigate with due diligence).

It's the second and especially first-hand possession that should be frozen (and it already has been Wink)

Why is there a frowny face where my ignore button would be? Am I in trouble?



Disclaimer: I've got the frowny face too, but I don't let it get it me down.

You realize you just made fun of overweight people, used the "r" word (liber*****), and put down libertarians in one sentence?

I see nothing uncommon about using all those words in a sentence. If he managed to put all those words in ONE WORD, now there's something I'd like to see.

Libertubs.

I thought the rules said PM only !?!?

FIRST PERSON TO PM ME WITH THE CORRECT ONE WORD ANSWER WINS

It doesn't say "PM only", it just basically says that if I hadn't sent it to PM also (as I did) I wouldn't have won.


Here's the PM
Yoda

What's yours dated?

I don't care if NaNa can sing or not.  I care that she is popular and she can promote bitcoin.  I sent her a message so let's see if I get a response.

No offense, but here's the first thing that came to my mind reading your post:

Quote from: My mind

Eureeka! People think of Bitcoiners as overweight, sociopathic, spergy libertards! What's the best way to fix our tarnished image and show those detracting bastards that are in fact strong, successful and capable of crushing the competition? That's right! Nana!


You realize you just made fun of overweight people, used the "r" word (liber*****), and put down libertarians in one sentence?  So you approve of using homeless people to promote technology but not overweight people?  Not trying to break you, just keeping my mind busy using the Internets.

I didn't make fun of overweight people. My now dead mother was highly overweight, and she was just fine up until she died of cancer and general poor health.

As for libertards, I am starting to see many good points in libertarianism but libertards are a different breed. Look at Atlas/Boss for an example of a libertard.

Ya .. I screwed up and used them without looking them up here first ...
lost my bitcoin and the domain 'thefiatfreezone.com' to them ...
They aren't a registrar, are they?

They have a reseller license as one, yes

Well, short you can only gain 100% and lose 100%, long you can gain unlimited profits and lose 100%.

Which is better?

Stop asking such difficult questions.
