The FinCEN guidance effectively says "go bankrupt trying to get yourself compliant with the prohibitively-expensive MSB & MT laws, bitcoin sellers! Muwahahaha!" Might as well kiss your fiat goodbye, so additional taxes on economic liberty are not really a concern if you're already bankrupt.

Thanks for your reply. Where pbcopy - do I replace this with something else? I'm still getting the same error. Thanks. pbcopy would put the output in your clipboard, if you had a secret key. |

Here's my customers' experience:
See my ad. Text me how much you want. I confirm amount, lock rate for the 1 hour it takes to get anywhere within the county to my place (I recalc just before arrival if more than an hour passes), and text my home address, and ask for your BTC address. Arrive at my place, I let you in. I show you the scanbook iOS app with your BTC address pasted into it already, to confirm that's really where you want your BTC sent. You give me the agreed-upon amount, I make sure it's all there, go into my office, hit send (as the purpose of having the BTC address in advance is to have the TX amount and destination filled, ready to push immediately - also to make sure your address is even valid before you arrive - I've been given invalid ones by Blockchain.info Wallet users a bunch of times). I come back to the front door, refresh the app (you refresh yours as well, if you have one), and you see that you've received your BTC. Shake hands, bye.
If you want, you can wait in your car outside for 1 confirm, but who knows how long that'll take, since fee or no fee, there is no speed guarantee.
If a supposed seller isn't at least as meticulous as I am, expect to get ripped off.
P.S. The only time I sold away from home was at a restaurant, and I'd printed/funded a paper wallet with the purchase amount, and wrote down the rate, and his number on it, like a check. I texted the paper wallet's BTC address in advance, so the buyer could check it, then when we met, I let him sweep the corresponding private key on the paper after I made sure he gave me the agreed-upon amount. I hung around long enough that he could have reported problems, but he left without incident. I literally could not have spent out of that private key before he broadcast the sweep TX on his phone, because I didn't have internet access there, WiFi or otherwise, only at home. I wouldn't recommend this, unless you have experience sweeping your BTC from one private key to another immediately. And people can easily take your money and run from a public meeting place, compared to their own home.

I will ship you or your U.S.-domiciled recipient of choice something I own worth 1 BTC (including shipping).

Every IRC channel I'm a regular in with >100 users goes offtopic constantly, so I have to spend way too long skimming hours of OT scrollback, where in the case of bitcoin, it should have been in #bitcoin-offtopic or #bitcoin-101 instead.
What's the point of having these specific channels registered and staffed if people refuse to /join #them, even when specifically, repeatedly, asked to move?

Did you check that none of the Federal ammo was part of the recall?

Generate paper wallet and fund it. Let them check the public address, get their item in your posession, give them the private key, let them sweep it out in front of you, then leave.

You're exchanging BTC-E USD in that screenshot, not BTC. I don't even see Bitcoins as one of the options on the site right now.

No chargebacks... I'll buy them.

Hmm, actually a "random item swap" site would be pretty interesting. You send something to the operator, based on an estimation of value they send you another item someone else sent.
I could do that. For practically anything that can be mailed I have stuff of equivalent value that can be mailed back. It would have to be free of smoke, pet dander, or any other allergen, though. |
