I've got a gold buffalo if there's any interest.

ATTENTION: TYPO IN OP.

I had intended to start the auction at 5 PM but got sidetracked. The adjustment window should begin at 7:30 PM, not 4:45 PM.

Interested parties are encouraged to verify!

Sorry, I know it's long, but I want to give interested parties a chance to see the auction. I've gone two weeks without checking the Marketplace sub plenty of times!

If anyone is impatient and wants a Buy It Now price, 25 BTC.

I'm extremely curious to see how it turns out!

Hey, folks. Rare Casascius coin up for auction, thought I'd alert the watchers of this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=975256.0

Sounds like speculation. Where's the proof?

Oh, wait, proof is only required from other people, not you. What a narcissist.

I made 100, sold 50 on the forums. I also didn't sell them for $150, check link in OP.

Hell, check the progress pics from the link in OP while you're at it. Think back to that thread the next time you find yourself paying $45 for a mass-produced or digitally-printed "art print" somewhere. 

Yep.

A thousand bitcoins!

Seriously though, beats me. Elianite was ready to pay 2.7 for this one. Go back 10 pages or so in the Goods and Auctions threads, let us know what you find

This is all completely absurd.

Back in Summer 2013, I discovered that Havelock's website -- in particular, its Withdraw Funds and Xfer Shares functions -- were vulnerable to a VERY, VERY BASIC, VERY AMATEUR vulnerability known as a CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery).

How amateur? Amateur enough that just by visiting a website with a single malicious line of HTML while logged in, your entire account could be drained.

Incidentally, BTCTCTCTCT or whatever it's called was vulnerable to this exact same vulnerability at the same time.

I verified that this was as serious as I thought it was by successfully draining all of the shares and all of the BTC from my own account into a dummy account set up for this purpose.

I then had to actually explain to Havelock how to fix the vulnerability in order for them to actually fix it. They fixed it for the withdrawal page that day, and promised to update the rest of the pages next week.

Fast-forward to the Q3 HIF financial report, and you can see that they're actually too goddamn lazy to change the name of all three months in their copied-and-pasted reports, bothering only to update the part where all the money is gone.

-----

Fast-forward to last week, and they find an issue with their website, and they've spent a week trying to decipher what the problem is. A week. Maybe it's time to, I don't know, ask an adult for help?

It's not malice, it's stupidity.

I'm sorry for all of your losses.

In fact, we reuse 'em for test prints:



Once they get messy enough, some printers try selling them as one-off prints; we turn em into business cards. Waste nothing!

Actually, I thought we were both done with it, and then just yesterday I noticed the negative feedback you left me. Would've opened my thread sooner if I had noticed it, but since you're not on Default Trust, it was hidden behind an unobtrusive link.

I openly admit that I won't back down to intimidators like WoodCollector/TerraHasher/TECSHARE/SodaWarz/etc, and may respond -- should I choose -- to any defamation in such a matter as I see fit. would also like to point out that should any third parties be offended (sorry, "butt hurt") by this, the small "Ignore" link under my grumpy face should be in working order.

I know you think everything is always about you, but ABitNut's statement was directed at me...?

I do still have some... er... interesting misprints:

What if the forum gets hacked and the validity of every post/PM is thrown into question? 

Oh, good point. Mods, feel free to relocate.

TECSHARE is a psycho.

I was admiring my awesome trust page earlier today when I figured I'd click the "untrusted feedback" link to see what the people who don't matter think about me.

Surprise, TECSHARE left me this feedback -- 6 months after our transaction -- because we had a disagreement about a scammer last month:

"He also raised the price after I paid him the original amount he quoted. I regret trading with this user."

Here's how I "raised the price" after TECSHARE paid the original amount I quoted:


(Emphasis mine)

As you can see, the DEFAULT option in the above statement is a partial refund. TECSHARE chose to send me more money, even though the default was for me to actually give him some money back.

If he had not responded to my message, he would have gotten a partial refund *and* his product. Nevermind the fact that he bought TEN posters -- I guess he thought he could flip them for a profit.

Nevermind the fact that he knew what the posters looked like when he chose to pay extra to have them flat-shipped. I received his extra 0.04 BTC on September 3, one day after I posted photos of the finished product.

Photos posted Sept. 2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.msg8632282#msg8632282

Extra payment received Sept. 3: https://blockchain.info/tx/e358de3dd08b91bfd6c08cf2e1ae9ffb9218f78e13ac9490441e97dff71c4bb2

Sucks that he doesn't like his posters anymore because he doesn't like me, but you can't stop people from being childish.

Based on this evidence, I am comfortable stating that TECSHARE is a plain-faced liar and an abuser of the trust system.

Avoid him at all costs.

Wild. I actually don't even have a copy of this myself!

Don't feel too sorry for him
