The Bitcoin community doesn't like to be told It's going to get the scammer hammer by the supreme dalek leader darktongue. but when some other mother fucker needs bitcoin to reverse the polarity of a traumatic brain melting ArchCannon they can get all the Bitcoins they want then run... is it key words?

helo me out here... my BTCjam listing where I honestly say I'm going to take your money and run is zero funded. yet the horrendous umpteen pro scammers are 80%-100%. This is bullshit fellas.

So I see a bigger problem in all this... enableing.. Everytime a new altcoin comes along people attach themselves like leeches to a warm body. The huge red flag when it came to this coin was it just all of a sudden appeared. That exchange killed the trade of most of the altcoins awhile back because of lack of trade intrest. in my mind  it should've been fishy when a phantom coin all of a sudden hits the trade market.

Of course then the "WTF" starts. Individuals begin hunting for the code and soon enough after a nice rigged price hike what do these individuals do? they enable it by tradeing without proper research.

Does it suprise me? Hell no this same exchange traded and is looking to trade RuCoin again. We all know how big of a cluster fuck joke that is in itself.

I'mp rayingthat in the long term this turns out to be one of those common sence.mistakes on the part of the exchanges owners. It's kinda like all the gas stations that began to sell "Spice" only to find out it was a harmful drug that was rejected really quick by a large percent of the public. I think what saved a lot of heartache with that example was a slew of company owners had the product pulled from the planogram before laws wher made makeing it a controlled substance.

I believe if BTC-E was truely not guilty it would have removed the trade of this coin and in this case found a way to reimburse those who invested into it.

This is three loans I'm involved in that have stopped paying since the rise in price of BTC. I have to agree with the individual posters who are fishy about the way he's handleing himself over his sons illness. If it is true I pray for the littleone. I have three children myself. if anything was to happen to them I'd vamos.. I'd be with my child.

However... th problem here is a commitment was made. And the fact above is I have children of my own. A bank, a payday lone company and the.end.on default debit collector may give sympathy. But guess what YOU took the money. YOU made.a deal and are under obligation to pay. I won't.forgive you the money. if I did It's open season for every other.lendee to tell.any sob story.they wish to string this out. I expect something this weekend or at the latest Tuesday of next week

Okay some advice to the n00b. I've sold old games on eBay and abroad for upteen years.

 Details are great for the buyer especially with old video game media. The older the system or media the.more detail.  Such as does it play? If its been tested all the better if it hasn't that can greatly effect the price of the media. Most of the time the buyer wants to play the game. very few just collect and forget.

For media like this take photos of the front back and the contact portion of the media. Also the yes or no of "if comes from a smoke free home" is appreciated by a ton of buyers. If It's a seriously rare title sometimes even a video of it in action .

This may seem like a shit ton of work just to sell an old ass game... believe me with a bulk sale It's a pain in the fucking ass. but it will sell quicker abd for a decent money makeing price of you do. also if you have a case or can find a plastic sleve you will make a favorable impression

1/24/13 - Coins shipped to buyer. Insured for amount paid. Package in the care of USPS @ 09:43 Local Mountain Time. Tracking number given to buyer

I have up for grabs a book of 83 Washington silver quarters from 1932-1964 every year up to 64.

 $5.84 is the total melt value for the 1932-1964 silver quarter on January 23, 2013. The total silver value is $484.38 for 83 coins. I will part  with them for a flat $400.

In a bob tech related reason. I believe the shorter cycle allows for more open options in useing coin in offline situations. Such as in example a crypto coin op machine. Slots and Arcade Games powered by crypto/accepting crypto would not really work in the case of Bitcoin. However if one used LTC it might actually see some stick time.

Gigatux would be out of the question. Before you even click on the ToS they have a few lines includeing

A Seedbox unless he is seeding legal torrents is pretty much bunk

489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ppcoin market crash on: January 17, 2013, 04:05:50 AM

also what happened to LTC being the silver of BTC's gold?? and that people will trade in LTC as BTC are just so precious and too valuable to trade on a day to day basis.. i know we are far from that at the moment, but do you think that LTC is in the same boat as a doomed to fail currency??


Yes, LTC is also doomed to fail. Silver make sense because gold can't be broken down into small enough units for convenient everyday use. Bitcoin doesn't have that problem.

I don't underst3and how you can say it's doomed. I do understand why a fair amount of people consider it a pump and dump. but even with the sudden fall in price. it has not really shit canned itself. I know for a fact I haven't lost money yet in it. Maybe that's the key word? Yet?

491  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: A Manifesto is needed. on: January 16, 2013, 09:34:24 PM
I +1 this, its simple math really. Educate people on howto use it and further educate them on keeping it secure.... presto.

Everyone yaks on about howto get merchants to accept it as a form of payment for items and services. The keystone is the general public. If 1 in 20 use it what's the point in accepting it?

I myself promote it locally. Some may find where I've talked of my efforts on this fourm. I've used NMC as the gateway however. Some will disagree with this method of showmenship but for a group of Linux geeks having a coffee shop meetup. It's a resurgence the groups activity. When I gave my first talk on it the group had around 8 people show. next meeting the waynes world effect had occurred. They told two friends and so on.

We had three intro to cryptocoin meetings. The idle time between meetings the members did research themselves and that allowed for some outstanding movement in the right direction.

Best part was the little mom and pop coffee shop here in a county of 24k adopted Bitcoin as a payment method. Most of this groups membership frequent the shop and what have you! They pay for the addictive sticky buns and java with Bitcoin!

Long story short I do believe if this community had something like this it would be great material to send abroad to not only Linux groups but clubs or organizations in general.

Can you imagine the Shriners or even something like The Boy Scouts Of America takeing Bitcoin donations? Think of magnitude of that world wide waynes world effect

 I'd like to thank you all for the chatter in this post. isn't it great what you learn when you just read/listen Smiley

So for an update I've started compileing the concept into a document. In the file I plan on highlighting things that are leaving me puzzled. Also things that I just outright dont know what the hell I'm doing with. I will soon post this and begin posting bounty for those WTF issues I have.

493  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for different Trade bot code examples on: January 16, 2013, 04:52:49 PM
Well, I live in the western united states. The idea isn't so much to build an exchange as it is a series of tools working in conjunction that would be packaged together and grandma ready.

Further my hope is to make it useable on any system the end user decides to use. I know some folks are building machines for the task of accepting bitcoin in store while others have come up with DYI plans invovleing pico computing etc.

At the risk of repeating... This is to save time abd automate tasks that the physical store front is already used to seeing done tottaly by machine

495  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for different Trade bot code examples on: January 15, 2013, 11:24:11 PM
Thanks for the response from this. I argued with myself at length lastnight about if this would.be one of those weekend warrior jobs or not. After looking at time spent + results earned I've decided to move forward with it.

I'll me.contacting some of you for a purchase as well as those of have offered code. I've looked into several that can be googled with ease to find they are pretty simple nuts abd bolts

What I want to attempt is an online solution. Something with a simple UI that the.brick.and.mortar can use.to cash out quick and get his.greenbacks from without to much effort.

Some things I'm.considering are if the outlet in question would send coins directly to the exchange.or have them.local then send to the.exchange.

Most merchants are used to a 12AM money transfer with CC terminals. So in ether case I'd like the whole process to be able to dump the coins around that.time for the merchant.

I've been fiddleing with a bit of code that would allow a merchant to call for a "Payout" for that.night. The script would then wait until the pre.defined time and send the grand total to the exchange. from that point the bot would handle the rest.  If the merchant is looking to send directly to the exchange and gamble that's strictly up to them.

I think at the least what I come up with can serve as a model. I'm probably going to need some assistance with secureing the script that would dump the local wallets full contents. As I'm sure this would.be something that could be used against the.end user.





496  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do I persuade local businesses to start accepting bitcoin ? on: January 14, 2013, 06:52:13 PM
I have convinced a local business with the following idea:

Put a few items for sale at a special price. This allows a business to try it out while mitigating the risk of suddenly turning all their stock into bitcoins. They can control how much of their business will be bitcoin based. If it works out then they can increase the number of items for sale. I would show them how to convert to $ and where to spend BTC. I would additionally  encourage them to keep some coins and watch them grow in value. 
Also, remind them that price is still a factor. Few are going to pay a premium for the right to use bitcoin. It's just money, supply and demand still applies. 


Exactly what was done at the coffee shop. any items or purchase over a certain subtotal one could pay in coin. Thus allowing the owner to convert and withdraw if he so wanted.
497  Bitcoin / Project Development / Looking for different Trade bot code examples on: January 14, 2013, 06:46:38 PM
So I'm sure this is asking for a lot. perhaps not but I'm looking for some working examples of trade bots that could be used in efforts to help brick and mortar propagation of crypto currency.

The thought crossed my mind and like usual I want to run with it a moment and see where ot would take me.

The idea would be that the biz would be able to exchange at the very least the cost of whatever they wher selling plus maybe a little more for the sake of makeing money. then perhaps if they wanted to leave some coin in the wallet to grow on. ofcourse without hireing or paying a currently established accountant within there company to do all of it by hand.

basically a midnight cashout such as you see with the established credit card machines.

498  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do I persuade local businesses to start accepting bitcoin ? on: January 14, 2013, 06:37:43 PM


 Well, the simple awnser is you need more offline buyers useing coin. I'd start by finding local Linux clubs or.meetup groups and approach them to do a presentation on Cryptocoin.

Talk the tech, talk the value and also talk the paranoid facts of it. Most if not all the groups in ky area let me speak. Furthermore they had me come back and speak again. After three or four.meetings the group as a whole started useing coin. the club itself had a wallet annnnd the coffee shop they meet at started accepting Bit/litecoins for purchases 

The shop was hooked after an exchange.was shown to the owner. According to him he's actually made money from the 20 or so people who use it. He says It's a matter of keeping up with the.market itself(Duh?). As long as he pulls out the cost and pumps that back into his biz he can play with the extra coin and see results.

Now the kicker is he has time for this. not every owner/manager has time nor are some established brick and mortars going to pay the extra hours for a manager to hustle the exchanges.

Now I've thought bots.. bots could do this. but then It's a matter of ethics. Are all bots going to cashout in an economicly ethical manner or will some hustle as they seem to do now?

Anyway yeah.... LOL

 So this is actually the last thing I've wanted ro do but I've had a switch in what my passions are. I've blown through my petty cash and rather then worrie about a loan then transfer the money to paypal(where I need the money) I figured I'd sell my RaspPI.

I have here 1 Model B with all the fixings in the title. I'm looking to get a firm $60 out of it. And hopefully get that $60 via Paypal to pay for some recent eBay purchases.

I will also throw in a audio RCA jack that works great for useing tv speakers rather then clunky pc speakers.

The $60 includes shipping and I will supply a tracking number. The only thing I would require is that half is paid in advance. the rest upon delivery of the hardware.

The problem is the web isn't like the physical world. it would be nice to be able to turn a cheek tp a default of a $30 loan on BTC... NOT have to jump through hoops and fight not only the scammer but the horrendous amount of trolls that ether don't like you or are just outright assholes.

I've loaned money like that to people in my life and they vanish.. they had been "Friends" for eons. and for less then the price of a full tank of gas they vanish. A wise person once said to me "If that's all it took to buy good riddence. Then it might have been worth the loan".

But sadly online they will hit many folk before that's the case :/
