How do I remove the members that are automatically on my trust list? I have no reason to trust them, and I'd rather make a trust list of people that I actually have done transactions with.

I'd buy BTC with a Moneypak, but I have no feedback. If I send the MP code first, would that be ok? And what do you need for proof of receipt? A picture?

If your name is Justin I guess

I'll participate. Address is 1xyyj3tb3To4TTdqcsVDvjfaZR5hxpGSQ

Well then you have your .2 BTC. You don't need to take a loan anymore.

Saw this, thought of this:





On a more serious note, I'm not too worried about big banks taking over anywhere. If they have to be bailed out all the time they can't be too powerful. Plus, they have a new contender to deal with. 

No offense, but you sound like the typical internet tough guy. "Appropriate actions" means what? Beat him up and then get sent to prison? Or more realistically, he shuts the door, and then you go to prison for trying to rough him up.

If you really care, take him to court, which is the responsible and legal thing to do.

Because they want to be an authority.

Technically, it can't have total authority. Bitcoins are open source and decentralized, and shouldn't be able to be controlled by anyone. However, realistically an organization which has influence over the exchanges and regulates transactions would have some power.

It seems similar to governments in place now. Technically, they can't force us to do anything. But realistically, to go against them means imprisonment or death.

Obviously DATA isn't going to kill anyone, but going against their restrictions might make it more expensive and hard for exchanges/transactors that don't go along with it to run.

I just added a picture and updated my mileage to the exact amount.

I already had how often I drive and where on there, but I've bolded it to make it more obvious and made it more specific.

The size of the ad is up to the person putting them up.

Thanks for the heads up.

Should I contact you at the hotmail or the yahoo email account?

Soylent Green?

I'd rather support smaller, fledgeling businesses than large established businesses. I guess it really doesn't matter though, and I should change that.

And I was going by the EU definition (for small business):

-Less than 50 employees
-Privately owned

And then what? He transfers the BTC right in front of you? More than likely he'll just call the cops on whomever goes there.

I'd be willing to sell some BTC for a moneypak. Is there a minimum amount that I have to send you?

How do you plan on collecting his debt?

Is nobody interested? I figured with all of the paid sig ads that people would be willing to use a form of advertising that will get much more exposure.

Not that kind of seeds.

The pipe looks cool. How big is it?

Hi everyone. I posted this in the "services" subforum, it seems like the general marketplace forum gets more traffic.

I've been looking for a smart way to get some bitcoins. Here's my idea:

Recently I've been talking to one of my friends, who owns a small publishing press, about getting exposure for his business. We thought about various mediums, and decided that vehicular advertising might be a smart way to get word of his press out there. Currently I drive a minimum of 125 miles a week just to get to work and back. I'm very active on the weekends (clock at least 50 miles) and even throughout the week, so there's a huge potential for exposure.

However, why stop at his business? I haven't started with this advertising, but I'd like to ask the bitcoin community if anyone who owns a business is interested in paying me to advertise their business on my car.

First off, some information about my vehicle (https://i.imgur.com/czZBkL0.jpg):
    -2001 Gold Toyota Highlander, no damage or blemishes.
    -Currently there are no advertisements on the vehicle (friend's ad is on its way in the mail)
    -Currently I have 128,500 miles (as of 8/7/13), but it was at less than 100k when I got it in 2011.

Some information on where I drive:
    -I live in the Manchester NH area. Manchester has a population of 109,830, so it is not too big but it is not small either. It is the 241st largest city in the US.
    -I commute from Manchester, through Bedford and Merrimack to Nashua. Nashua is right on the border with Massachussetts.
    -I currently live in an apartment complex near the Manchester Airport.
    -I go to Boston quite often.

I've looked at some advertising services, and most pay in the $250-$500 range per month. With this in mind, here's how I would set my base price.

Small* bitcoin related business: .5 BTC per month.
Small* business, unrelated to bitcoin: .75 BTC per month.
Large business, related to bitcoin: 1.00 BTC per month.
Large business, unrelated to bitcoin: 1.25 BTC per month.

*EU definition.

In addition, I will charge more for larger ads. The pricing is based on the individual ad in question. The owner of the business decides the size of the ad.

I do have some restrictions:
    -You must be a legitimate business. I will not accept any business who has evidence of fraud.
    -No pornography, tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. I won't put a green camel on my car.  
    -I'm willing to advertise for gambling sites, but I need to check the legality within NH. As far as I know it's legal.
    -I really don't care if I advertise competitors, but I'm sure others would so unless both parties agree I will not advertise opposing businesses.
    -Unless you are going to pay me for at least 6 months, the sticker/ad must be removable after the month is up!

So, how would this work?

Step 1: Interested parties should post in this thread.
    -This is the best place to post questions, too.

Step 2: I'll research your company and make sure its legitimate, and also get a notion of its size.
    -Any information you can give me is helpful.

Step 3: You must provide the ad to put on my car. I will PM you my address and then you can mail it.
    -If you find a really good site to get it off of, let me know.
    -I want the link so that I can confirm that the ad is either removable or not.

Step 4: Prior to putting the ad on my car, I want a down payment. 50% for removable ads, 25% for removable.
    -This is negotiable with trusted members.

Step 5: After I get the down payment, I'll put the ad on my car and post a picture of it in this thread, so that there's proof that I follow through.

Terms and Conditions:
    -You have to pay for at least 1 month. After the month is up, I'll contact you to ask whether or not you want to pay for another month.
    -If the ad gets defaced, or I have to remove it for whatever reason, I will refund you completely.
        -If I get into an accident that is my fault (I never have) I will refund you.
    -If you want more than a month, you can pay me monthly if you are a trusted member.
    -If your business becomes revealed as a fraud, or you use shady business practices I reserve the right to remove the ad. No refunds.

Well, there's my idea. I would appreciate feedback, and of course customers.

Thanks in advance!
