SatoshiDice is only #13 yet it's one of the top BTC addresses? Interesting. Good read. Where did you get your statistics from?
542  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Liberty Reserve - "history's biggest money laundering prosecutions" on: May 29, 2013, 09:56:35 PM
LR was around for quite some years - the US indictments quite recent.

Clearly amateurs when compared to HSBC, Barclays or Wachovia Bank...

This is my biggest concern. Liberty Reserve had been around for a long time before I even joined up. The only reason I used it was not because of anonymity - that was just a bonus feature. It was nice having an account number which didn't reveal much than an email which somebody could use against me if they had ill intentions - but it was the no chargeback feature which appealed to me most. With PayPal I was subject to so many fraudulent payments from crooks and thieves, and even with supposed seller protection I lost quiet a bit to thieves. I have no problem with my information being shared with the right people and for the right reason.

The reports state that Liberty Reserve submitted fake documents and lied - so why was this not caught out by the person overseeing the verification? Surely the verification team should be held responsible for their negligence too? Reports also state that this was because they were operating with no license, so why had it taken this long to have something done about it?

Users of Liberty Reserve were also led to believe that the company was complying with AML policy. Even though I was never asked for much information, I believed that should I reach a certain threshold, I would be asked for verification which was fine.

Even if the system was used by mainly criminals because of it's ease of access and anonymity, it had legitimate uses too. It's just a shame that the owners knew of the problem and did nothing about it. Openly admitting that your company is used by criminals and that pretty much nothing is going to be done about it is ignorance. Not everyone uses LR with bad intentions, I know companies will suffer greatly because of this and it's a shame that the legit users are now just seen as necessary collateral damage.

You can use LocalBitcoins too but remember with PayPal comes a risk of fraudulent transactions. You'd have to take PayPal from a trusted member and run your own checks to ensure you won't be left out of pocket.

It looks like a false positive, where did you download the miner from? As said above, if it's from a verified source nothing to worry about. If it's not, then take necessary action.

Interested, can pay by Moneygram if you'd be happy with that. Shoot me a message if you'd like to trade, have done plenty of trades on here. Thanks.

You reported like 3 people for scamming, stop being a douche and actually do some trades instead of just tryna ruin peoples rep for nothing.

Post proof you sent the coins to the address OP specified. If your innocent you'll have no problems providing the proof.
552  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: WTB - 4BTC via UK BTC on: May 03, 2013, 03:38:38 PM
I can do this for you. MTGox last + 5 percent. Will lock offers for 24 hours to avoid problems and will honour it as long as there's no funny business from your side.

Thanks.

What's the point of paying 15 % extra without even having any proof that we will actually have the bitcoins after that? Lol.


Why would someone not have the coins after? Verification takes place over TeamViewer. I don't hold your funds without consent. Even then it's only for about an hour or so while I verify the transaction and I lock all offers for 24 hours anyway. Not that it's ever gotten that far except for people who have paid by UK Bank Transfer and have made a mistake on their end. If I find your payment to be weird, I simply refund you within an hour but that's never happened. I essentially won't take a payment from you if I can't go through with the deal.
554  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buying 1BTC+ on: April 26, 2013, 02:15:04 PM
I can do this trade for you, however I will need to see the transaction done over TeamViewer to ensure no foul play is taking place as well confirming a few checks, which will all be kosher and you'll be able to see exactly what I'm doing.

Let me know if you want to trade.
555  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: UK - WTB bitcoins for Faster payment on: April 14, 2013, 08:42:13 AM
I can sell you coins, let me know via PM if you want to deal.

Not to knock your hustle or anything but PayPal will figure out what you are doing eventually.

Clowns send wallet addresses and Bitcoin related info in the PP notes all the time. You are being naive if you think they don't eventaully look at that stuff. They are generally suspicious of all users who aren't eBay Powersellers or well established brands (Kmart, Target, etc.)

You'll likely get the limitation that reads: "We'd like to know a little more about some of your recent transactions."

Not hating because do what works for you, just saying protect yourself. Set up some backup Paypal's or switch to something better.

Thanks man, I know what you mean. I've found a way to secure payments before I give out BTC.

557  Economy / Digital goods / [WTS] Amazon UK / US Gift Cards - Bitmit - Escrow on: April 08, 2013, 08:26:12 PM
I am a new seller on Bitmit so happy to use escrow. Abuse of this will simply lead me to remove it.

https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/24636-amazon-25-gbp-gift-card - 20GBP
https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/24637-amazon-25-usd-gift-card - 20 USD

If you need something smaller, let me know please and if you need larger amounts please change the quantity and I will send you a gift card for the total.

I believe I messaged you back for this, let me know if you still want to do a trade.
559  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why does no exchange allow credit card financing? on: April 08, 2013, 07:47:50 PM
There is no perfect solution to cutting out fraudulent charge backs, which is why the problem still persists. Otherwise everyone would be accepting credit cards for BTC. Even after thorough checks, there is still no way to confirm the user won't go into his bank and say the coins were never received.

I can do Amazon Gift Cards and Liberty Reserve, fine with escrow. Message me with escrow details.
