701  Other / Meta / Re: Damn it Theymos! You cleaning house moved all posts off the page! on: July 29, 2012, 11:22:54 PM
I don't see a reason for the 'moved' threads. 

The URL for the thread doesn't change, so if someone enters the URL for a thread after it is moved, it still goes to the right thread, just in the different section.  There is no categories or anything in the URL path. 

This is a benefit which makes moving threads useful.

Sometimes I want to go to the "lending" section to see what has been going on there, and it's nice not to see "Mt Gox scammed me!!" threads littered all over the place.

Just gonna bump this.

This has yet to be addressed by Zhou.

There is no reason to suspect otherwise.

But there is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95738.msg1055632#msg1055632

Why was Zhou, through his own QQ-account, selling LR from the LR-account Zhou said "the hacker" created?

Occam's razor.

While working with RustyRyan today it became obvious that start-ups present an interesting issue: with no deposits or liabilities, they tend not to produce meaningful metrics.

It seems like automatic scammer tag list the moment the ponzi implodes

Frankly, that's stupid.

Then he's just screwing with you and everyone else trying to follow this thread.

Since they're always complaining about FUD, why create it themselves?

I'm guessing they did meet pirate, had a great time, feel really reassured, and now they want everyone else to be left in the dark and jealous or something to punish the forum for spreading so much FUD. I don't know, or care really.

I asked Goat on IRC, and he acted as if he doesn't know what deleted posts I am talking about, even after I pointed to this thread.

The "confirmation" of this guy is ridiculous. We're down to gigavps now.

Then he's just screwing with you and everyone else trying to follow this thread.

Yes! Clearing out the complaints to one location. Thanks!

They are either screwing with us just to watch our dumbfounded responses, or something weird is going on. Really not sure which atm.

Is it me, or Goat messages have been removed? I'm pretty sure I saw him posted a couple of post before me.

Or maybe I'm crazy or something? Huh

He posted two things, I think. One about Pirate getting lucky when Giga was rolling (and 167 to 1 odds/people handing out free beer), and then another about "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

Hmmmmm. Is it staying in Vegas or not?
715  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Interesting conversation with a retailer who formerly accepted Bitcoin on: July 29, 2012, 02:11:24 AM
Bingo!
Well, they take the volatility risk and the accounting nightmare(?) from your shoulders, so that's got to be worth something. Right?

Yes, though of course bitcoin created those problems in the first place. So its basically making it equal to a credit card, both in terms of price and convenience. Which then of course begs the question I brought up in my early post "why bother at all?". How many new customers would want my product enough to buy it with bitcoins, but not want it enough to buy it with dollars? (especially because there is no market pressure, you cant buy tea elsewhere with bit-coins *that I know about*)

If all else is equal, im geeky enough to want to implement it just for fun and to promote a cool idea... but the larger question here is "why are more merchants not adopting this"... I think its pretty clear.

Some people buy items with bitcoins that they wouldn't otherwise buy, because they are trying to promote an ideology or bootstrap a microeconomy. Were I a merchant, I would accept bitcoin and post on this forum, simply because it's great advertising.

My take: non-reversible transactions are bitcoin's number one selling point to merchants. I plan to have a product to sell in coming months, and for the reason above, I will not be accepting paypal. I don't want to risk a chargeback with the low margins I will have, especially one 4 months after the transaction. Bitcoin, if nothing else, is THE solution to chargebacks.

Edit: 2nd paragraph has already been addressed...

Bitcoin was created by anarchists libertarians and for anarchists libertarians. Go read up on the cypherpunks. Read the cyphernomicron. What do you think this is, some left/right san fran techie circlejerk to see who can make the coolest looking mining rig? This is a revolution. The 'politics and ideology' part is unavoidable.

Great comment, barely needed fixing.

/came for the circlejerk

I have read that those words are synonymous outside the U.S.

get in contact with the Morphsuit Beggar and make it a team effort. Maybe you can get him to hurt you.

stuff

What you can tell me is how you guarantee your deposits in any meaningful way. Otherwise you will lose at least one potential depositor.

As it stands, your "guarantee" is wholly misleading (except that you're not misleading anyone on this forum).
