Wait what? There is an Indian company doing 42 million dollars worth of bitcoin business? And they were looted?
You may be mistaking your sources.

Also, I know of no exchanges that allow funding via credit cards. Credit cards allow charge backs for as many as 180 days after transaction. An exchange has to be stupid to allow credit card transactions.

The only company who lets you buy bitcoins with credit cards seem to be btcquick.com - but they use google checkout to do the trade. Your account is tied with your google profile - which allows them to verify you and run a background check before processing your order. They may be scammed sooner or later, but they've not been scammed yet.

I agree that being cautious is good, but international wire transfers can't be reversed without the bank account holders permission. Neither can wu or moneygram orders be reversed - once you have cash in hand, they can't force you to give it back. You can safely use these 2 methods to sell bitcoins to folks without being scammed or looted.

If you have received stolen money and the authorities run an investigation - you are not liable for it unless you have been involved with the whole fraud and had known that the money you are receiving is stolen.

Not it was not a  indian company doing  bitcoin business. it  was a  indian  payment  processor for creditcards that was hacked and then robed.

There are no exchanges that take credit cards i know of.

665  Local / Marketplace (India) / Re: Selling 10 BTC. NEFT available. on: June 24, 2013, 01:44:13 PM
I have 10 BTC to sell.

Can do NEFT / cheques / bank transfers.

Price: average of buysellbitco.in's buy and sell rates.
For eg: right now, their buy rate is: Rs.6495.96 and their sell rate is: Rs.5756.91.
So the rate we trade at will be the average of 2: (6495.96+5756.91)/2 which is = Rs6126.43.

Escrow: can do if you pay escrow fees. I recommend John K. for escrow.
If we use escrow, you have to make your payment to me within 12 hours of me sending the BTC to the escrow and him confirming.  (This is because I've had people back out of trades if price moves a lot. I don't want to keep my BTC with an escrow agent indefinitely if a party doesn't end up sending their payment. So a short time limit is required. I hope this sounds fair to you.)

Disclaimer: I can refuse to sell to anyone I don't want to (if they seem shady or have a bad track record or for any other reason.) You making an offer on this thread or in a PM does not bind me to the sale unless I've told you I agree to the sale.

Thank you.

Sounds like a  great deal +1 reasonable rates.  Grin

Dude its talking about issuing currency not generating it, and its 2002 bitcoins was not  even in existence, and it was not  talking  about decentralization of  currency , it was  reffering to Friedrich Hayek who  was a 1950's economist  who  pointed out the  problems of a  central bank  causing  the  great depression and this was one of the  biggest motivation for him to oppose Central banks , ckz they just  cut intrest rates and  created  artificial  price fluctuation. 
667  Local / India / Re: MtGox real time price converted to INR on: June 24, 2013, 11:44:44 AM
Please change the subject to mtgox real time price converted to INR. This is not bitcoin's real time price in INR.

See this is the problem with pinning threads. People who I want to buy bitcoins from will now quote this link to me and won't sell at lower bitstamp rates.

Please stop pinning all threads.

Well in my  view the real market price of bitcoin in india  should be about  5,000 - 5,500/- if it is the market forces that is allowed to maintain prices. but people want to  use a pegged  price for a  market that does not  even function  in the indian eco system.

That is where they get their BTC from. Until there is a globally acknowledged system that shows the rate, Most will continue to follow Mt Gox.

You are looking at mt gox as a ecosystem playing within india. but  that is not  the case.

Mt. gox  caters to the international market. that is a  global eco system. but in india that is not the  case the connection to  Mt gox for indians is verry tough. so a local ecosystem is needed to  sustain the trading  in a natural manner. not an artifical inflation.

let me dum it  down.

Here 'A' being  a group of sellers
'A' buys btc as a company at mt gox rates - 'A' then sells it at 10% Mt. gox rate.
Mt gox rates go up 'A' Still sells at gox +10% still earning a lot of  profit . suply of btc is constant in the population

Mt. gox dipps down 'A' Still has reserve btc from last purchase from gox . 'A' Will not sell ..  suply of btc is cut to the population.

Here the biggest problem is the drop in prices in btc creating problems, and bottlenecks.

Solution :-
Open free floating market rates. where in the demand and  supply of bticoins determine  prices. this will encourage goods and  services to  also adopt bitcoins  because for them  they will be able to unload their btc in exchange for fiat to cover expenses.

Subvolatil.. could you help me out.. Dont realy have a market sense. i am new to the stocks as a whole..

Well i can  just advise you on what to do , i can't recommend  what to buy.

Just  follow  a  few  simple  rules.

1. never  invest every thing  in one stock.
2. research the  stock or bond you are  buying.
3. analyse the past price fluctuation on that stock and correlate it with events that happened to that company issuing stocks.
4. never  expect  returns immediately.
5. Keep reserves for the rainy day .
6. dont  be greedy.
7. understand market forces (demand and supply)
8. Be patience
9. dont panic if your stock goes down.
10. Dont fall for  scam stocks.

read up on this thread great  info :

in any case it is not good enough to refuse escrow, he does not have any reputation here and refusing escrow (regardless of form of his business) make him a scammer.





true  about that, cant  deny you  point. but he did make  a proposal  to  buy  in low  quantity  to  build trust. however He should  also  be in  position  to accept people  who  want to  go  through  escrow. 

So inrbtcad let  people  go through  escrow when  you  are  currently not  providing  your  identity.

Pinwheel stop  hammering  the  guys so much.  just  point  out  their  flaws. and  put up  you warning. if  others  get  scammed  its  the fault  of the others   who  did not  take  your  warning seriously. 
671  Local / Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) / INRBTC Accusation Thread on: June 23, 2013, 03:02:43 AM
I didn't  want to  weigh in but ....  


ok Firstly  Benson, this is the  reason why i told you not to pin/encourage a business  let businesses promote them  self. businesses can always  think and  innovate  was to provide  services and  promote  them self.

secondly, Pinwheel right  now  you  my  be  hitting the  wall to hard. In  india there  are may  ways  for  entities to  exist, not  only  as a company i.e pvt. ltd. But, the  Registrar of  companies  only deal  with   two  types  of  entities a  ltd.  and a LLP.   the later  being  easier to  incorporate.  
However an  indian  national is  not  required  by  law  to only  run a  LTD. or a LLP business. It can  be  of  any of the following  kind.

1. Proprietorship (Which  does not  require any  formal  gov. registration)
2. Partnership (same as  above but  with a  partner)
3. Hindu joint  family  business (same  as  above  but a   family  fun  business)
4. Cooperative (get together  a  few  people  an  start  a  co-operative  business like  Amul.)

All the  above  mentioned   businesses  can  run  legally without  impunity. yes  some  regulated  businesses  need membership  from  associations  and   trade  unions or  licences . like  export and  import , and  some  whole sale  businesses.

But in  no way is  it requires  to be a  registered  business.

A note  to inrbtcad, i hope you  do know  that  when  referring to a  business as a company, i  is usually  implied  as a  Ltd. registered  company  with the  Registrar  of  companies.
I know  it  takes  ages  to register  a  company and getting  DIN, and  all the   stupid  formalities may  take  you a  few  months. Be honest  about  the  incorporation there is nothing wrong  in  being a Proprietorship. Just make  sure  you dont screw  people  over.  

Build  your  business on trust  and  honor.
672  Local / India / Re: PMBs on: June 23, 2013, 12:37:10 AM
  this is a  share market, the prices will rise and  fall.  you loose  money you earn money. 

Looking  at the value of the stocks  because  it  halfed the  value in 2 days does  look bad but for some, but it is  a  good  earning  possibility for others.

one  more  suggestion.  never  invest  such a  huge amount when new  stocks  come in  invest  little  by little.  Diversify you investment.  have some patience, do not panic. the more you panic  the more  you loose. 

Remember always diversify.

Adoption will also come when people will see profit in it and about asic, i think you misunderstood my point.

I want to say

More asic machines => difficult level will go super high => Bitcoins will be hard to mine with normal cards => New People will buy from others instead of mining coins themselves => Bitcoins per user ratio will go low* => More demand/less supply => Price go high.

Ps: It's a long process I'm not talking about instant bubble.




You are  slightly wrong on your premises, the problem here is that you are  trying to correlate adoption of bitcoin with profit. which is  wrong.

Firstly, profit is only a business driven goal.  if a  business sees profit in bitcoin then that business is  surely meant to fail. but a business seeing bitcoin as having  utility makes more sense. this being a  cardinal utility.

The reason why i dont  see ASIC's entering the market as a problem in price fluctuation. are  because of the factors that right now  determine the price is not the hash rate  but the overall use  of  bitcoin and its  utility.

Before hash rates can make any dent  in the price system the following  conditions  have to be fulfilled:-
1. Services being offered should be reasonable.
2. use and adoption to the masses should  be easy.
3. spending should match earnings in relation to bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin should be readily accessible to people.
5. Strong  reason to use bitcoin over conventional monetary systems.

All these factors are  subjected again by governmental, individual, corporate control and regulation.  Making  it  that much  harder to fulfill the  conditions   mentioned  above.


If you look at the Hash rate  chart of the past one  year the  hashrate does not correlate with the price changes in the past 6 months.

676  Local / India / Re: What could be the trigger to push BTC above US $500? on: June 20, 2013, 04:43:36 PM
ASIC miners and worldwide adoption obviously. Daily thousands of new users are acquiring bitcoins now.
Soon bitcoin will be hard to mine from normal graphic cards and demand will increase.



The hash rate it self  will not  be the only  factor  driving  the  bitcoin prices , like empoweoqwj said  until and unless services and goods  dont  come up for bitcoin people  will have no place to spend  those  bitcoin, if they can spend the coins the price wont  increase  because  the  demand  for  bitcoin  wont  be that much.  
When demand is low the  miners or hordes holding the bitcoin panic and  start selling  low and  prices  go down .

Yes, that's why i said both things. "ASIC miner and worldwide adoptation"



ASIC Miner is not  a service, Its a bitcoin generation/(transaction verification) entity all miners are.

Adoption will only come if there is a utility in the bitcoin.
Utility will only come in, if  there is a valid and  strong  reason  for people  to start using  the coin.
What is the use of bitcoin?  to be used as a transaction medium for goods and  services.

so the underlining factor is bitcoin needs a market  to function in and for  companies to start and  offer  services  and  products  will take  time and infra structure.

Not for the next 3 years .  if it  does  shoot up to that level, its gona  be  an artificial hike with some asshole fixing to crash it  and  sweep all you money up.  



Mass adoption can also drive a price hike.

Yeh but that also  creates a  bubble.

Take into  factor :
 lets say number  of users to 1 million
 new users just  trying it out getting used to the  currency
 out of that 1 million users 50% will drop out within a span of 2-5 weeks  ckz of the  spike in the currency prices. i predict a spike of 60%
 when the 50 % users start to drop like flies the market  again crashes  ck they  sell just to get out.

A adoption of  some thing  that holds value should never  spike or have massive adoption. just like the real estate market, and the IT bubble that crashed the world economy.
