Like fryarminer I started mining with GPU. I never swapped to ASIC mining. I tried to, however, I got scammed (and lost a big part of my BTC) and the ASIC was never developed. The owner / developer is gone since.

I mining multiple coins, especially DigitalCoin. I was quite Lucky mining some new coins like "AppleCoin", which made me a nice amount of BTC when it became suddently very popular in China. In the end of my mining life, I used some multipools. Nowadays I don't mine anymore.

I totally agree with you. About cloud contracts, you've to be really Lucky to get a profit. Think about 'why should someone rent out hashrate when they can use it by theirself (and make profit)'. Sure, to cover initial costs etc etc. In the end, it is really hard to ROI these days.

1. When I started, I bought BTC. However, I started mining altcoins and I was Lucky to mine some altcoins which gained value over time (and traded some of them for BTC).
2. Now i'm indeed a user of Bitcoin. I don't mine anymore, nothing. I don't even look at previous mining contracts either. I still use BTC to buy some items, but I have to buy Bitcoins to do that,.

Alright. Thank you for your reply. Untill now, I only heard positive reactions about your Dutyfree.io service so far.

The only thing that really hinders me buying more cigarettes from you, is the fact that I think I'm going to smoke even more when I've got myself a nice supply ^^.

I'm not sure whether you will read this (as you've posted these photos weeks ago), but you should share them through social media. I'm not sure how active the people over there use social media, but sharing such things of social media has shown to be effective here in the Netherlands. For example lost cameras (with holiday photos) were returned to the owners, and even orphans have made succesfull use of social media (as Facebook) to find more information about their parents.

Ik heb er ook nog nooit van gehoord. Waarom wil je per sé met hen zaken doen?

Volgens mij zijn er inmiddels genoeg partijen hier die zich al wél bewezen hebben.

Indeed, one dollar isn't much. And I think that you offer a nice service by replacing them, even for that low initial costs. For me it's more that I don't want to get somehow caught with illegal activities / accounts, so I won't buy one from you. I'm sure you can sell some more account on here .

I know you can refuse a parcel (here in the Netherlands). However, do you know whether this is also possible once you have received a message that you have to pay €xx to customs? I always thought those items will be destroyed when you do not pay for it.

Indeed I am. Thank you Mitchell

I bought another 2 random games after my last reply here. One was worth around $6, the other one around $10. It worked out well, thanks FromRussia.

I just received a game, worth €10,99.

I think this is a nice way to find out about great games that you would probably not buy otherwise. I received one which is quite nice to spend some time on. Thanks FromRussia!

I don't earn much with signature campaigns lately, but I have received a nice amount of 0,x BTC from earlier Primedice signature campaigns.

I have not sold a single Satoshi of them. I stacked a part of these coins, bought some Steam games with another part, traded a small part for altcoins (in order to short-term trade a bit) but lost most of them in an ASIC scam.

I indeed some more people offering such deal / services; random Steam games.

What I'm wondering is, what is in for you doing this? Are these games legit? Can this be proved?  The last thing I want, is getting my Steam account locked due to such deals .

I'm also interested in that method. I think it's a bit vague. Sure, don't tell your details, I assume that you do not someone want to 'take over your business'. However, it all looks a bit scammy now.  Sure, many people want such account for that price. However, I don't want to get somehow punished for owning such account.

Hi Wakka622,

How much Steam codes for GTA V do you have left? I look forward to buy that game (on Steam) in the near future, although I'm currently trying to collect the funds to buy it.

Do I need to hurry if I want to buy it from you, or can you offer this game for that price for a longer period?

I'm wondering, if no CC is connected to your account, you're not able to buy "Download apps and games as many as you can without any distinction of credit card" as you claim. Atleast, you cannot buy apps that cost money.

There's no need to connect your CC to your Apple Store account in order to download apps. Yes, sure, if you want to pay for an app, you have to pay for it somehow.

There are other ways to pay for such apps, like buying gift cards. I've bought a gift card once (of €15), added it to my Apple Store account and I still can buy apps if I like (if I do have enough funds). There's no need to have a CC for that.

Thanks voor je snelle reply. Ik heb het begrepen.

Houd ons op de hoogte van je projecten! Ik vind het altijd leuk om te zien hoe de mogelijkheden van Bitcoin worden uitgebreid, en dan specifiek in Nederland waardoor ze ons ook nog eens bruikbaar worden (en erg handig kunnen zijn, zoals deze services). Top!

You could simply buy the game with cash or through your bankaccount. Or for example with PayPal, so with normal currency.

I use to buy (desktop) games with Bitcoin too. There are some great parties here on Bitcointalk that offer such service, very fast and userfriendly, like SteamBitShop (which is for Steam games thus).

However, with the current value of BTC I don't do this often anymore. That's actually quite strange; yes you have to pay more BTC for a game, but you can buy new BTC with less money.  I think it is just an idea that you don't want to spend much of your valued BTC (I do have that feeling. Spending 0.05 BTC on a game, OK. But spending 0.20 BTC on a game, that's not a great feeling).

The cigs are genuine indeed (just made in some 'low standard countries'), it's just the different taxes which the customs can ask you to pay.  Once they take out your package, you will pay more for the cigs than you would pay for them in a regular shop around you. But when your package is not seized (untill you pay the required taxes), they're definately cheaper.

There is a possibility to return to sender if you receive a package from something you bought (atleast, it is here in The Netherlands). You can simply deny / refuse the package. However, I'm not sure how this works out once you receive a message that you owe the customs some money. That's the question.

Waarschijnlijk dien je gewoon het bedrag naar dnaleor over te maken, al dan niet via een bankrekening of in Bitcoins, en dan zal hij de rest van de groupbuy verzorgen. Dnaleor is wel te vertrouwen voor dergelijke dingen, dat blijkt wel uit zijn trust op dit forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=89388). Eventuele betalingsmogelijkheden zal dnaleor wel toelichten als je hier interesse in hebt.

Ik heb zelf wel interesse in de Trezors, maar ik vind ze momenteel nog wat aan de dure kant. Ik wacht nog even .

Daar zeg je inderdaad iets. Hoewel ik technisch een leek ben, lijkt het mij ook wel ideaal als de huidige 'draadloos pinnen' of 'draadloos betalen' systemen ook gecreëerd worden voor Bitcoins. Zodat je met een Bitcoin wallet op je iPhone gewoon dergelijke betalingen kan doen. Zou ideaal zijn!

Het probleem is dat veel mensen die zelfscanners al niet begrijpen of wantrouwen. Wanneer je daar ook nog betalingssystemen aan gaat koppelen die wellicht nog iets moeilijker te begrijpen zijn, dan zullen veel mensen deze manier van betalen links laten liggen vrees ik.
