Just use a fake name generator. i agree they shouldn't be collecting info but from there point they want to make sure they have contact info so they can double dip. Say next month or year they may contact you for a second donation. From there side if they get even 10% to redonate they surely happy.

That's probably the reason. Don't think the KYC applies to non-profit charitable organisation (there may be some donation threshold though, when some info is required).
As long as they don't ask you for the copy of id - I don't see a problem, but if such info is not required by law, they should make it optional.

@Pawel7777 - There was interest payments on the 31rst, could post an img of two wallets with interest payments, if you would like?

You can if you wish. I didn't get any interest on my AllCrypt account (did for all the previous days).
And there's no payments for 31st in the payment history (link in the OP) and here:

http://savecoin.co/paymenthistory.txt

So there seem to be some issues.

" This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on Aug 1st unless the average trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.1 BTC"

this is what I got today at Bittrex.

Somehow, someone have to save this SPC coin from de-listing at Bittrex FAST.

No point in pumping false volume. Let the bittrex de-list it, otherwise it will be the same problem over again in few weeks.

Sometimes you need to take a step back in order to move forward.

The coin needs a proper, smart promotion strategy, it's got the great feature, but most people never even heard of SPC. Not to mention that you're the first on to post on this thread in 10 days, seems like the community moved to other things.

Think it'd be a good idea to get it listed on c-cex, they've got the Giveaway section, a good way to build awareness.

EDIT: Looks like there was no interest payment for 31st July, so this coin may already be dead/abandoned. Shame.

Would be awesome to see Dogecar vs Bitcar.

But this idea definitely needs more promotion/awareness. Not much seems to be done in this direction. Not even official bitcointalk thread?

They only raised $3,995 of $100,000 so far...

Changed OP to this now:

We will check the quality of your posts. Please do not spam to increase your post count. Really contribute and not just spam offtopic with "+1" "what i listen to" "what i drink/eat/xxx right now".
Please note that most posts in offtopic won't be counted (there could be the occasional good one here and there but since this would only lead to confusion don't count on offtopic.
Posts in other signature campaign threads won't be counted since this obviously doesn't reach target audience at all.
This should really be self evident by now.

Technically u cant change the rules in the midst of a campaign. Do u practice the same on your site, i.e. after someone's win u declare they have lost ? If u want to change the rules, u can only do it from the next term.

They don't change the rules, just clarifying on what's 'constructive post', as people can understand it differently.

Edited my post above.


Avoid paypal at all costs when you are dealing with bitcoin.

let me quote their terms and conditions:

Quote
You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:
-snip-
3. relate to transactions that -snip-
involve currency exchanges or check cashing businesses
-snip-


Don't think that part of T&C was meant to relate to cryptos. It just doesn't make sense why ebay (who owns paypal) would allow trading BTC and even made a separate category and paypal would disallow it.

I bought my first BTC on ebayUK (around Nov 2013) on both auction and buy it now format (allowed back then) and had no issues. Then again, I recall a story about someone's funds being frozen due to selling BTC mining hardware... just weird.

OK, what if a buyer sends funds to the seller but not as a payment for anything, just person A sends to person B (as a gift). Is it still a risk from seller's perspective? Can it be reversed?

To the people who said stuff about faucets and learning, do you have any thoughts on which one to try?

Thanks!

Hi Aemon, welcome to the forum.


Think the best one and more popular is http://freebitco.in/?r=213251. You can use it every hour, but they pay once a week (Sunday). If you're lucky you can get up to 0.35 BTC (don't know has anyone made it though). You can also gamble your funds.

EDIT: non ref link http://freebitco.in
6670  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good News but Price drops ? on: July 30, 2014, 08:45:29 PM

My guess is Ethereum. They are dumping the BTC sold for ether.

Was thinking the same, but that's not true. They haven't touched their BTC funds yet:

https://blockchain.info/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2

I haven't really been following the Etherum news, but that's a lot of BTC. If they dump it lower than market price, it will plummet quite a bit. I hope they don't.

That's a lot, but will likely be much more. Their IPO period is pretty long. And can't imagine them dumping it all at once, that would be pretty stupid move for them. It's suppose to be a serious, transparent, long term development project (not some anonymous get-rich-quick BS), so they will likely release the funds slowly.

The Dell thing was a big news among all the bitcoiners, but don't think there was any massive coverage in the main stream media.
Also, those things usually don't cause the immediate effect (of price rise).

In my case, it took me something between 1-2 months from the moment I first heard of bitcoin and thought: "I need to check it out" till I actually did check it out.

It's not like thousands of people unfamiliar with the BTC gonna learn all about it and buy it within few days after hearing some news.
6673  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is this site legit? on: July 30, 2014, 07:29:57 PM
If you're looking for a (somewhat) secure way to buy BTC using paypal. I recommend... wait for it... eBay.

For some time they have a separate 'Virtual currency' category. Note: you cannot do auctions or buy it now anymore, they only allow classified ads, so you'll be buying outside of ebay.

Obviously check seller's feedback and history and don't buy large amounts at one go.

EDIT: I mean safe way of BUYING not SELLING. If anything they say about paypal disallowing crypto is true, then disregard my advise above.

Not sure has anyone already posted it on this thread. But if you're looking for something to fill the emptiness after Doge-Dice got shut down - I recommend:



You can both play or invest. And they accept BTC and DOGE.

I wondered how you guys though about lawyers. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I find that the whole idea of lawyers is bad. Chances are if you have a better lawyer, you have a much better chance of winning, even if you are in the wrong. For example, if you are a criminal, you murder someone, your obviously guilty, but if you have the best lawyer, he/she could twist everything and get you out of it. What do you guys think?

Yes, if you're rich you're less likely to go to jail. But who's really to blame? Expensive lawyers? Or the judge/jury, after all, they decide whether guilty or not and what the punishment would be.
The other problem is that poor people don't get the proper representation, they're often advised or pushed to confess even if not guilty.
6678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something to worry about? on: July 28, 2014, 09:23:41 PM

but bitcoin has no country. so bitcoin is not based in new york, those new york rules dont apply to navada

That's all true, unless you provide a service to NY resident. Quote from Lawsky's proposal:

Quote
(n) Virtual Currency Business Activity means the conduct of any one of the following types of activities involving New York or a New York Resident:
(1) receiving Virtual Currency for transmission or transmitting the same;
(2) securing, storing, holding, or maintaining custody or control of Virtual Currency on behalf of others;
(3) buying and selling Virtual Currency as a customer business;
(4) performing retail conversion services, including the conversion or exchange of Fiat Currency or other value into Virtual Currency, the conversion or exchange of Virtual Currency into Fiat Currency or other value, or the conversion or exchange of one form of Virtual Currency into another form of Virtual Currency; or
(5) controlling, administering, or issuing a Virtual Currency.

Whenever in the world you are, if you provide "virtual currency business activity" to NY resident, you're breaching NY state law. I've no idea what are the inter-state law agreements, you'll probably be safe in Nevada, as long as you're in compliance with their state law, but you may be up for an unpleasant surprise if you ever visit NY.

All the current pools/exchanges are young businesses, so likely many of them will be freaking out if there's even a sightliest risk that they may be facing court battle against NY state.
6679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something to worry about? on: July 28, 2014, 06:59:23 PM
lets end the fud worry

bitlicence = new york
miner in article=navada.

moving on

If it was only that simple... Are you familiar with TVShack's case? Basically, the British guy, operating a website from UK (servers in Netherlands) didn't break any UK law, but still was facing extradition to US. No one can guarantee the same cannot happen with BTC exchange or mining pool.

Link to the article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-18266805

Eventually it didn't end up that bad for him (could've been worse):

6680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something to worry about? on: July 28, 2014, 06:06:22 PM
Definitely yes.

Of course, you can just ignore it if you're a regular person who just uses bitcoin. But for anyone who built/intend to build a serious business around bitcoin - this is a bad news.

Then again, you can just start your business elsewhere and avoid new yorkers, but other states/countries can go the same route.

Hopefully this regulation will not go through in it's current shape.
