I love this thread.


The little girl was a victim of an supposed accident of a reaction caused by the child, a reaction that if had led to the death of the little girl, the child and the parent would be held responsible for manslaughter most assuredly.

The measure of reaction should therefor be proportionate to the amount of harm caused to others, punishment fitting the crime and all that. With a nondebilitating wound, responsibilities would ideally include insuring the child's safety, apologizing to the appropriate parties (apology from child to little girl if parents not present, apology to both parents and little girl from both parent and child if present), and making a mental note to be more thoughtful in future pranks.

Never let the emphasis shift to "What can I get away with". That is how societies are ruined.

Well, they can just block me for any tip on me like you said, that's why. I'm not hiding anything,do what you want cause pirate is free Smiley

waiting for more offers!

Let's backtrack a bit.


if you snitch on me,............. that really make difference for me, I'll just make new account. Smiley

That reminds me of a similar business model that relies on making new accounts in order to continue selling things.............

@OP: Actually, you reminded me of an idea myself and Maagus Iverson had a few years back for webcam-paintball-tank wars. The only thing we hadn't figured out at the time was how to make it pay for itself (It's prohibitively expensive to maintain much less set up). Seems like your "earn-BTC-for-shots" twist just answered that question. Thanks.

I'll bring this up again later when I have the time but I think it's one of those super-fun-matthew-projects that everyone might want to get involved in and I wouldn't keep it from you guys for anything.
5064  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 06:25:11 PM
I dont work for PayPal.

and if you snitch on me,

Whaaa??? Have you lost your marbles? Why would contacting Paypal to confirm your statement be considering "snitching" unless you were lying? Are you lying about something?

You can look up my name with PayPal and my PayPal account. I am not working for PayPal and have no connections whatsoever with them except that I own an account there.

o. So the "I am from paypal" part must have been a lapse of judgement then. My---errr..your bad?

Anyway, can I still confirm your account since I am extra super duper careful and never want to get scammed by anyone? Pleasey weezy?
5065  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 06:00:27 PM
I am from Paypal. PayPal Debit card is not allowed nor is being sold in my country. you can check that. + you can verify my country by IP address and my address on PayPal.

next? Smiley

Oooo. He works for Paypal and he's selling something against their TOS. Interesting.

Can we contact Paypal with your name and paypal information and get confirmation so we can quote you and use you as an advertisement for how Paypal employees officially endorse Bitcoin now even though it's against the Paypal TOS?

TL;DR:

Yes I guess I could open  a new ticket


Good! Do it!
5067  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 05:45:15 PM
buyer cant get scammed and everyone knows how paypal works is pretty 100% sure that.

Buyer sends paypal to you. You don't send coins. You spend money from Paypal Debit card. Rinse Repeat.

There, I just gave you a way how the buyer can be scammed. Next?

Only few people contacted me on PM so far,they expect me to go first and some people thinks i'll make a trade with them for 3 or 5 coins. I already said that I am not going to do that.



You want your future customers to PM you. That's totally understandable. Okay so when the customers PM you, how come you don't sell them bitcoins straight away? Is it part of your "get to know people to make sure they are not scammers" period to talk to them first? Usually when selling something requires PMing + dialogue, someone is trying to get you to join their religion.
5070  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 03:37:44 PM
Read my first post and you may know what i'm exchanging,if not then you should get back to school as soon as possible, I'm afraid.

We've all read your first post. By now it has already become a meme on another forum.

The question is, "What are you selling?" because it's obviously not Bitcoins. Everyone has already offered to buy and you've ignored them, turned them down, insulted them and basically continued on a shpeel about how you have it figured out. You're obviously not here to sell anything or else you'd be selling to the people who have already said they'd buy.
5071  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 03:09:16 PM
I just don't understand what your game is. You're not even willing to sell to anyone. What exactly are you selling anyway?

It's a support ticket. Support tickets typically go to the extreme for easy sort-ability. In the meantime, the system believes you have failed  to comply (which you have by the system's requirements as the system requires complete documents). When you get the complete documents, submit them in a new ticket (or maybe even the same?) and then they should be looked at again and "approved" if that is indeed what the system needed to continue.

You're arguing semantics here.
+1 I use Zendesk, it it is sorely lacking in the area of custom status flags. You get "Open", "Pending", and "Closed", and sucks to you if you want it otherwise. "Open" clutters up the current ticket queue, "Pending" has automations that close after 5 days, and "Closed" is, well closed. There are ways to work around this, but it's a bunch of hacks really.

It's also of nay importance since he can open a new ticket once he is ready with his documents. Obvious misunderstanding going on here and a bit of obsession of the semantics.
5074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Location of next European Bitcoin Conference (London v Berlin) on: February 21, 2012, 11:57:35 AM
Wherever it is, keep in mind that Bitcoin Magazine/BitTalk.TV would like to be there to cover everything. Don't pick some place that I can't bring myself and my crew for under $20,000 and keep in mind that press doesn't usually pay for entry to places they are publicizing for free.

I vote Berlin because people follow Bitcoin and Bitcoin follows people so the choice should be made strictly on cost. This is not a trade show or exhibition like the one we're planning at the DCAO where people off the street will be going, so it doesn't really matter where it is.
5075  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mark Karpeles, please liberate my money on: February 21, 2012, 11:46:58 AM
Mark, you say that you are awaiting for the documents but your actions show otherwise.
It is clear that the documents have been requested, nevertheless you closed the verification process with a "denied", when the law does not prevent you from waiting, and leave the case open with either a "wait" or "hold" status, I fully understand the AML laws may require my to identify myself I am am doing the best to comply, but I do not have your cooperation.
At the very least you should leave the case open and close it only if I fail to deliver, but as I have shown the documents are being processed it is your duty to wait, since official documents show that the required documentation has already been requested.

Also it is my duty to identify myself according to the law, but I do not believe international law requires anything beyond identification, if I am wrong please provide an official  link that says otherwise.

In a few weeks I should have the documents.

At this point all I am asking is to change the status of my case from "denied", to "wait", "on hold", or "standby", basically anything that indicates that you are waiting for the documents, and not something that indicates a failure to comply, since I have not failed, I am fully complying, but the law is very slow.



It's a support ticket. Support tickets typically go to the extreme for easy sort-ability.

So, Matthew, do Americans pull it down in Asia? Or have we made everyone there hate us too? Since the advent of Jersey Shore, I just don't know anymore.

Other expats hate Americans the most on average. We are seen as lazy, manipulative, war-loving, ignorant, obese, etc. An acquaintance of mine got in a bar fight here in Korea with some Europeans just because he was American and they wanted to rub it in his face constantly that they hated Americans.

As for Asians themselves, they are convinced that they either need America, or they need to destroy it. Japan for example is pretty pissed about the annoyance of bad military, as is Korea, but they also "level" with their own people to the tune of "We wouldn't last a day without them". It's sad.

Korea is not a good place to judge foreigners though since every loser in Asia comes here (China is a good place to judge foreigners), but I'd say most of the Americans here are more or less friendly and sane. I am obviously not one of them and I seldom socialize with other expats in Korea.

I am refusing to share my method to get "very smalll profit" for now and you can be sure that i'll be getting alot more profit once I get reputation ? Seriously guys, only people who got run by car could told you how they are making their money. You think I am that stupid and I would be doing this if I wasnt sure what I was doing? Very poor grammar - oh wait I'm from poland,english isnt my first language so I am not speaking perfect, sorry for that. Highly doubt that anyone got problem with reading my posts.

I am santa, I am santa, I am santa! take my santa offer Sad


Let's take a look at your business model for a second without any personal insults or questions of intelligent/maturity:

You want to sell Bitcoins through Paypal.

That's against Paypal's TOS and they will lock your accounts, successfully make it impossible to use paypal for any transactions (including deposits to your own bank account for the bitcoins you sold).

You want to sell Bitcoins starting at a large amount only, as a newbie to the forums that no one knows.

This means that the very first person who does business with you is running the risk of you sending them absolutely nothing.

You want to sell wait a day or so to make sure the payment is 'legit'.

Payment legitimacy has nothing to do with anything. For 120 days after, someone can still reverse their payment to you. The only reason this wouldn't be a direct issue for you is if you're using throwaway/stolen accounts to scam with.

You claim you want to sell Bitcoins, but have ignored (and insulted the offering parties) every offer of purchase you have so far.

Only outright scams would be afraid of having someone like Charlie or I use their services to 'test' them.



Regardless of what people are saying about you, your 'business' is not trustworthy and never will be so long as you keep trying to run it like this. Speaking of risk assessments, there is actually less chance of getting burned by BitScalper than by you at this point.

5078  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Chess players wanted!! Beta Testers on: February 21, 2012, 04:15:23 AM
I wrote an (still incomplete) chess app a while ago. Might be the perfect opponent for you... Smiley

Ok, the app was crapp, but it was quite well structured, so we could port it on various platform, like Swing, J2ME and even the Palm pilot.
I wasn't wanting to play against a machine, but what I would be interested in is a well-designed system that allows players across the internet to play each other. By well-designed, I mean it needs to be polished and look good, as well as having useful features such as a last-move history, a (minimally) animated opponent move indicator (to catch your attention if you happen to glance away), and other bits and pieces.

lichess.org is open source and completely viable for use in a bitcoin competition. I was using it for the core of a site I was developing, BitChess.com a while back but ended up hitting the inevitable wall of "it's impossible to make a chess site where people can't cheat".
