Here's a gif showing that the request image and the final result are almost identical. I guess that besides of being an unapologetic rude asshole you're also delusional.

Damn, your painting is an exact replica of the drawing in the picture. Sad things ended like this.

Care to tell us how you were convince you to do this without escrow? Did he tell you it's "insulting" to him that you'd like to use an escrow or something?

Not only it's a bad idea, fewcoins is known for being an ignorant spammer and troll. I'd say putting your dollar bills on fire would be more productive.

Today has been a good day for drama fans.

The guy seems shady, we exchanged some messages a while ago. He refused to use escrow claiming that it's insulting to him. Also really rude and loud. I'm not surprised at all.

I'd like to see what the countercampaign for this is going to be.

I recently bought Guns of Icarus, a game where you fly an airship and try to down enemy airships. It has 3 modes deathmatch, and two types of point capture.  It requires extremely good communication and cooperation. Really fun and unique game, I'd recomend it.

Χμμ, μπορώ να ρωτήσω τον κύριο που μου έστειλε μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου να μου θυμίσει την μετάφραση του bitcoin.org.

I think the only reason the profits could have gone down by that much is the fact that they went awol...

Bob is back!

By those terms, a big precentage of bitcoin users are average joes and could be robbed easily. I'm pretty sure OP wasn't even close to being a bitcoin average joe since he was using secure passwords and had seperated his hotwallet from his vault. I don't think that many people follow such safety lines. I'm pretty sure that most of those 40% of the total bitcoins sitting in addresses with less than 10 coins in each don't even follow the basic security rules. I find the fact that he lost faith to bitcoin completely rational. Everyone knows bitcoin is secure as a network, the tools to securely store bitcoins are already out there too and there are convinient ways to use them as well. But we get more stuff like weusecoins promotional material rather than actual educational pieces.

Who's gonna educate dem average joes? Besides that I don't think real average joes even know what bitcoin is right now.

Updated.

I should probably spend a day or so browsing this board on my own so I can find more websites though.

Did you try sending some coins directly to the wallet's echange? If what you're looking to do is trade them then maybe you don't need to run the core wallet yourself.

Or using Aviator, it's supposed to be a browser proofed from zero days exploits.

Was it a windows computer? Then it's most likely a virus. Run Sophos Virus Removal Tool and check for yourself.

Sorry to disappoint you
But when Gabe Newell, Founder and manager od Valve was askeb about bitcoin he replied with the following:

There are two related issues: one is treating a crypto-currency as another currency type that we support and the broader issue is monetary behaviors of game economies. The first issue is more about crypto-currencies stabilizing as mediums of account.

But that was nine months ago, maybe now that microsoft points are pourchasanle with bitcoin maybe they could be considering bitcoin as a future option. Maybe.

Way to make an exit. Please tell me more about how personal threats reduced payouts of a mining farm  , because that totally makes sense. This makes me feel extremely sorry for people that put money in this scheme.

I can only imagine that it's something personal. Theymos has accepted ads for outright ponzi schemes before, betcoin.tm is known for faking stats and I'm sure anyone that looks at ads can name more examples of websites that look more shady that bitmixer.
