Some crypto enthusiasts that hang out over at Ron Paul Forums, whom I know, have ordered PMs from Amagi Metals (who take BTC, LTC and Doge I think). https://www.amagimetals.com/ - Their selection is top notch and they have the lowest prices you'll likely find. Check em out, they're out of Colorado-USA tho not sure if they ship abroad, never thought to check. I usually get mine from my local liquor store/dealer although I've purchased from Midas Resources in the past but I doubt they take crypto.

Wasn't there supposed to be a bunch of these ATMs in UAE recently? I was really looking forward to the oil kings cashing out and sending money back home to their families and such. I would think getting one of these on every major college campus across the US and the world would be great for priming the next generation for cryptos, similarly to what's going on at MIT albeit w/o the freebies. Tho, after the merits of the MIT case study can be analyzed, that may be the way to expand use too.

What is all this manipulation talk? Existing and exiting shareholders are listing for higher prices that newcomers are willing to pay for, hence the uptick in some share prices. Pure free market unless there's something devious going on w/ the crew that runs the security. Curious to see what they have to say about this.
+1 I was very happy to come in and pick up 300+ shares at between .007 and .01, there could have been lots of people like me spotting a consistent return at the same time.it's a small market and there is a lot of bad securities out there.

I'm sure many of us have had roadblocks in our past that we've had to deal with in one way or another but the key thing is that we're better off today and have a brighter future. From here on in, I'd say this thread should stay on topic w/ all the key aspects of trying to make this effort successful. It's one thing to give someone a good ribbing but we should all give people the benefit of the doubt or a second chance to do better. Then, if that is abused the book can be closed and made an example of.

I'm down for doing a Twitterspree w/ BTC related stuff, couldn't hurt. Plus, I've got a bunch of Tea Party conservative/libertarian types that run in my circles so inundating the likes of them w/ this material would potentially jive w/ their certain anti-big govt mindsets.

At some point it would seem like we'd want to allow the free market to set the share price, as in what someone is willing to pay to receive such a service/investment. W/ consistent returns like this I can see people willing to pay a hefty (fill in the blank) price per share especially as more money comes in through newer shares thus bolstering returns even further. Perhaps I'm missing something tho to which I'd be thrilled to hear more.
5950  Economy / Securities / Re: [Crypto-Trade] Agrícola y Comercial Galt’s Gulch SpA, Galt's Gulch Organics on: May 02, 2014, 06:31:41 PM
when investors can't get their money back or entitlements as easily as when the money was given to them in first place the result is the same. Sad

Xactly. I denounced Giga as a scammer screaming from the forum's rooftops for just that reason.

I don't agree to send my ID around to shady characters and that was not requested in the original contract. So I demand either a refund or a relisting on Crypto-Trade or any other decent exchange not requiring ID.

Otherwise the broccoli in this "freedom farming" would be the investors, but the fallout on Galt's Gulch image would be not amusing.
I'm a similar mindset to these sentiments. If there will be any issue involving ID or financial transmissions on this new outfit, that wouldn't bode well for Galt's Gulch farming or the settlement mission. As the crypto community grows, we need to phase out dealing w/ unreputable outfits and reward those that are on the up and up. I hope that those in charge of GGO will ease investors' fears as they did when purging the unreliable hands that kept the farm from operating as expected in the past. Then, regularize the dividend payments (perhaps they have and I haven't checked recently) and likely more capital will flow in as new updates and content is passed on.

5952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rand Paul Thinks Bitcoin Should Be Backed By Stocks on: May 02, 2014, 12:38:25 AM
Here's another article that touches BTC and Rand Paul pertaining to when an executive in Silicon Valley asked him about it in recent times. And considering he's the Ace for liberty that will likely run for President and actually have serious shot at it, it's worth a read: http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/01/technology/rand-paul-silicon-valley.pr.fortune/index.html


Quote
Rand Paul, the undeclared yet arguably front-running Republican presidential contender, was trying to impress 40 young tech executives and entrepreneurs. Over happy-hour beers in San Francisco earlier this spring, the Kentucky insurgent fielded standard-issue queries on his opposition to National Security Agency spying practices and the Affordable Care Act. But Chris Morton, co-founder of BlockScore, an online fraud-prevention company, asked a question that tested Paul's tech chops: What did the senator think of Bitcoin?

Turns out that not only was Paul enthusiastic about its possibilities, but before its recent troubles he had asked his staff to explore how he might go about accepting campaign contributions in the digital currency. "People were impressed," said 29-year-old Garrett Johnson, the founder of SendHub and the organizer of the event.

Wooing the Patagonia-wearing, Blue Bottle coffee-sipping denizens of Silicon Valley, and especially San Francisco, may seem like a fool's errand for much of the GOP, but not for Paul, who recently made his second swing through the Bay Area in as many years. Indeed, his libertarian leanings, which can rankle Republican Party pooh-bahs, resonate in the Valley, where folks are messianic about private enterprise's potential to solve all the world's challenges. (Exhibit A: Google CEO Larry Page saying he'd rather bequeath his wealth to entrepreneur Elon Musk than to philanthropy.) Among the technorati, Paul's willingness to engage ideas outside the mainstream isn't a liability -- it's his strongest virtue.

On his recent trip in late March, he talked like a native too: publicly delivering a harangue against the federal surveillance regime at Berkeley, which earned him two standing ovations in the liberal stronghold, and privately dropping by investor Tim Draper's entrepreneurship school and gamely entertaining the billionaire's quixotic pitch for splitting California into six states. (Paul says he's dubious but hasn't formed an opinion.)

It's all part of Paul's high-stakes gambit to expand the GOP's appeal in precincts generally hostile to conservatives. "I see almost unlimited potential for us in Silicon Valley," Paul tells Fortune in an April interview in his Capitol Hill office after his trip. "Many more of them are libertarian-leaning Republicans than they are Democrats, and they may not know it yet."

Al-Qaeda and Hamas supporting the syrian rebels gives the revolution more credibility as i see it. it's the western support that makes me doubtful.

Al Qaeda gives credibility to the rebels?
Apparently, it gives cred in the eyes of John McCain and his buddy Lindsey Graham. I sure hope SC tosses the latter coming up here.

If you're American and are interested in more liberty promoting politicians, you can check them out @ http://libertycandidates.com/category/2014-liberty-candidates/ and donate excess fiat toward their races. Even if there is a crash in the future, it'll nice to have more liberty loving people in office and poised for higher office to either right the ship, downsize govt to nil and/or repair the damage from default.
5955  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher on: April 29, 2014, 08:58:25 PM
BTW...

...
And Bundy has said he will pay the grazing fees to Clark county.
...

It's like any low-life saying they will happily pay for the the car they stole, but only to a specific pet rock as soon as it sends a bill.

The state and county don't have the legal means to take the money and Bundy knows this.  He thinks he's being cute and clever, but most people including his fellow ranchers see things for what they are:  Bundy's a greedy self-serving welfare deadbeat suckling off the public teat.  And now he's a political liability as well.


In the interviews that I've heard Bundy in, he matter of factly calls this area state land that has been usurped by the Feds over time. I'm late to this topic but the man's family has been ranching there for over a century and this BLM outfit has been in existence since ~1981. This land is what has been known as open/free range for a long time and it's clear that the Feds have been trying to put the squeeze on all ranchers in the area for years. And, part of the issue here is that it is in fact public land. If it was private then there would be no dispute. However, despite the fact that NV has allowed the Feds to take ~90% of the state over there should still have been a clause that allows for the random public to do whatever peaceful activities they want. Not to mention the grazing rights this family has earned through making use out of the land for all this time. Plus, initially the cover story was to protect the desert tortoise but that has turned out to be a joke as anyone knows that many military/bombing exercises have occurred in these arid areas w/ said allegedly endangered species for the last 60+ years. This whole scenario is a mess started by and for the betterment of big central government.

My LS stopped working last week and I was going to just retire it after its 6 months of service. But, saw this thread and thought I'd post this situation and see if anyone had any ideas about how to get it working again. The light is off and unlike any other time it slowed down/stopped due to power outages, now it flat out won't work period. Or, perhaps someone might want to buy it and take a crack at it. PM me if you're interested or have any advice.

Yes and I meant this entire security concept is unique and intriguing. I'll be keeping an eye on this and may even throw down on it.
