Quote from article, titled FINANCE PROFESSOR: Bitcoin Will Crash To $10 By Mid-2014:

Quote
I predict that Bitcoin will trade for under $10 a share by the first half of 2014, single digit pricing reflecting its option value as a pure commodity play.  Miners/speculators will be best served to acknowledge the meltdown has begun, act quickly and take fleeting profit off the table.

"FINANCE PROFESSOR: Bitcoin Will Crash To $10 By Mid-2014", what bloody finance professor? Writing FINANCE PROFESSOR at the top of an article and not naming the professor... sounds legit. You wrote that and got it published just for a double digit reference for this thread didn't you?
We have shares in Bitcoin now? I've been missing out.

I love how opinionated and idiotic that article is.

You really expect to turn those crappy 99 cent domains into $100/each? Ridiculous.

That's a subjective argument on your part, these domains carry potential for future growth with a Bitcoin audience.
ANY undeveloped domain carries potential for future growth - that statement is silly. You registered these less than a month ago, have done no work to them, and expect them to fetch 100 times the cost. It's just not going to happen.

You registered these less than a month ago -Irrelevant
have done no work to them - Irrelevant - they are domains for sale, not websites
and expect them to fetch 100 times the cost. It's just not going to happen. And yet it can and does happen, not often but it does happen.

Why do armchair domain quarterbacks feel compelled to give their amateur opinions when nobody asked? The guy posted an auction, if people are interested, they'll bid. If not, they won't.
Because it's a public forum and a free country. There is nothing amateur about my domain resale knowledge. Feel free to take the Pepsi challenge with me kiddo.

That's called tumbling and bter.com would not scam someone over $150. Be patient.

The problem is that after the deposit to the BTER deposit address, it got sent to two other addresses from there (seen on blockchain explorer). That's what worries me.
That's common with hosted/shared wallets. You'll notice the same thing happen if you send it to a blockchain.info wallet as well. Did your coins finally arrive?

Food for thought.

""It's technology for the sake of technology or for the sake of pushing the agenda of the companies supporting it, versus solving real people's problems," Marcus said of NFC.
"Instead swiping or using a PIN pad, they're tapping. How is that really better? How is that changing your life? People don't want that," he said. It's not a question of whether people at a payment terminal would prefer to tap or swipe, he said, but a reality that people don't want to go to a payment terminal at all."

Yes, I am positive about that. Ask him to login to his pool and see his shares/rejects. He is just burning out his CPU for no reason.

Second question depends on the coin.

Someone I know told he has getting 500 Khash/sec speed almost constantly mining cpu based coins like datacoin,primecoin etc from his Intel Core i7 950 processor.

Now from the litecoin mining hardware comparison page we can see core i7 920 generating 41 khash only.I compared core i7 920 and core i7 950 side by side,they have the same specifications.

They are both same so how can the 950 generate so much more hashes.Can it be real?Looking forward to hear from users who are running core i7 950 cpu.
a CPU running that fast is doing one thing - erroring out, plain and simple. Your friend is an idiot and is going to burn out his CPU with 0 shares.

Do we charge fees: Yes we charge fees, so we can pay staffs too  and keep the site growing and updated for you.
Fee amount: Request to withdraw of 0.002, you will get 0.018.

You may want to fix this typo. Good luck to you.

Why merge bitcoin with NFC? NFC is the complete opposite of convenience. Everybody hates NFC.

Title says it. I Might take moneypak. Deal pending with one user against MP anyways. I want amazon gift card. I know it can chargeback.. so I will be verifying it with amazon. I don't want my account blocked. Oh and I'm selling 2.134 btc at btc-e rates. Thanks/.
if you sale your bitcoin for amazon GC
you can paying Amazon GC from this site
https://www.gyft.com/bitcoin/
thank you
I don't like their rates. Thats why I didnt go there.. but If i can't get my offer here.. i'll go there.

Edit: deal pending here.
Um, their rates are 1:1. They buy bulk at a discount from the retailer, and charge normal price in btc for them. Sounds fishy to me.
674  Economy / Goods / Re: Bitcoin Shirts - helping spread the word on: December 11, 2013, 04:51:42 PM
You need the price to be around $15-$20...you can find them all over the interwebz for $15-$20 with shipping included.
$40-$50 for a single tshirt is greedy, imo.
Good luck though!
How about you stop running and refund people you stole from, SynOps?

If you are not intrested leave, no escrow either you pay upfront or you pick it up in Amsterdam.
Iam ignoring the thread from now on, only retards and paranoid people. Serious offers in PM, can leave reference to my Jupiter buyers.
Yes, only retards like to help protect a community they care about by pointing out obvious frauds. See you under your next username!
676  Economy / Goods / Re: Playstation 4 on: December 09, 2013, 06:12:52 PM
Not sure if this is a scam yet or not, but that 1437btc was definitely added as a type layer afterwards and not originally on the piece of cardboard either. Also, you can notice some sloppy work with the spot tool around the type, leading me to believe that there was originally another name there.

Are the pricing tickers on these accurate? I'd be interested in a few of these, but some of your prices are over 200% markup. $600 for a tacticool 22lr that is $199 everywhere else, and $900+ for a 'new' (only some parts are new - and they're US made) Century npap AK47 that is $500 at every other major shop online.

Smart way is to sell at cost, for btc, and make your profit in btc's rise.

Solid service. I wasn't sure how you were going to tally my parlay with the hunt/silva majority draw, but a push was the right thing to do - and you've earned me as a customer. Good stuff.

Hey Rawted

 Please explain

Illegal in the US according to fincen's march report on AMLs.

 Who is tracking this? If I settled all the Btc to "account" and at the end of the shift was responsible for this USD amount, whos to say I'm doing anything wrong?

 What if someone came in the restaurant with a painting, or a bucket of apples and said I want to trade these for dinner? Could I not pay for his dinner and keep the apples?

 I understand that currency is different, but since Btc isn't even recognized as a currency, how can the USGovt regulate its trade?

"Definitions of User, Exchanger, and Administrator

            This guidance refers to the participants in generic virtual currency arrangements, using the terms "user," "exchanger," and "administrator."6 A user is a person that obtains virtual currency to purchase goods or services.7 An exchanger is a person engaged as a business in the exchange of virtual currency for real currency, funds, or other virtual currency. An administrator is a person engaged as a business in issuing (putting into circulation) a virtual currency, and who has the authority to redeem (to withdraw from circulation) such virtual currency.

Users of Virtual Currency

            A user who obtains convertible virtual currency and uses it to purchase real or virtual goods or services is not an MSB under FinCEN's regulations.8 Such activity, in and of itself, does not fit within the definition of "money transmission services" and therefore is not subject to FinCEN's registration, reporting, and recordkeeping regulations for MSBs.9

Administrators and Exchangers of Virtual Currency

            An administrator or exchanger that (1) accepts and transmits a convertible virtual currency or (2) buys or sells convertible virtual currency for any reason is a money transmitter under FinCEN's regulations, unless a limitation to or exemption from the definition applies to the person.10 FinCEN's regulations define the term "money transmitter" as a person that provides money transmission services, or any other person engaged in the transfer of funds. The term "money transmission services" means "the acceptance of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency from one person and the transmission of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency to another location or person by any means."11

            The definition of a money transmitter does not differentiate between real currencies and convertible virtual currencies. Accepting and transmitting anything of value that substitutes for currency makes a person a money transmitter under the regulations implementing the BSA.12 FinCEN has reviewed different activities involving virtual currency and has made determinations regarding the appropriate regulatory treatment of administrators and exchangers under three scenarios: brokers and dealers of e-currencies and e-precious metals; centralized convertible virtual currencies; and de-centralized convertible virtual currencies."
