Regardless of their policy (actually u put the eBay terms not PayPal) they cannot simply keep money.

Those are PayPal's Non eBay terms, as it says in the document.

Seems to be just a ploy to upsell people to a more expensive level of account, which doesn't have those limits.

Despite all my efforts the Paypal Account is still locked, i have not received a single penny from any sale that was paid by PayPal.
I sent them a list of the remaining orders that applied for a refund, those should receive their money very soon.

This worries me, as PayPal is notorious for holding people's money hostage for months, or more, for unspecified reasons usually. Hope you get the funds released - if not, it's time to sue them.

PayPal's policies on preorders: https://www.paypal-businesscenter.com/content/presale-policy-and-reserves
Quote
Am I allowed to presell?

Yes, you are allowed to presell items as long as you follow these guidelines.

Off eBay presale requirements

If you sell items in an online store (not eBay), you must guarantee delivery within 20 days from the date of purchase and make sure that the customer knows they are buying a presale item.

Before you can withdraw a payment, we may ask for documentation to validate that you will be able to deliver the customer’s order within the specified timeline. We may ask for:

Information about your supplier such as a contract and/or their contact information

Proof of purchase from your supplier

Invoices

Shipping receipts

We ask for information about your supplier and invoices to verify that you have a product or service and we ask for shipping information to verify that you have shipped orders.


Am I allowed to presell if I can’t deliver the product or service within 20 days?

Off eBay

If you are selling goods or services in an online store (not eBay), you may be allowed to presell items but we may hold your money in a reserve account or limit what you can do with your account to reduce the higher risks associated with presale items.

We recommend that you delay authorizing and capturing the money until you have the product available or until you plan on delivering the product or service. Once you have the ability to deliver the product or service:

Authorize the transaction.

Once the authorization is approved, capture the money.

Ship the product within one business day of capturing the money.

Were these sales compliant with that policy?
If not, what are you going to sue them for?

(Can't resist noticing the spelling error there)

That isn't a mathematically impossible string of results.
There is no such thing as a mathematically impossible string of results, only increasingly unlikely ones.
The chance of losing 11 50/50 bets in a row is 1 in 2048.
Slightly more likely than that for you because of the house edge.

Edit:
If you make 100 coin flips, you have a 1 in 45 chance of getting 11 losses in a row, and the expected number of losses in a row would be just under 6: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=probability+of+11+heads+in+a+row+with+100+coin+flips
If you make 1000 coin flips, you have a ~1 in 5 chance of getting 11 losses in a row, and the expected number of losses in a row would be just over 9: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=probability+of+11+heads+in+a+row+with+1000+coin+flips

And, still, you sound like a bit of a fool who doesn't understand that any run of bad luck is possible in a faur system, and is refusing to even attempt to prove your allegations.

With your grammar, you are going to criticise someone's spelling?

My assertion is that fiat currencies are inherently bad. A scam. Theft.
[...]
And your response is that no one is literally forced to accept fiat for goods and services because no one ever has to sell the government anything.

Is that the entirety of it?

I'm not arguing your general point, but your specific one.

Math proof is when you set it on 93 percent and you see three  reds pop up 'all the sudden when you bet bigger! >Google<: i don't get that second link?

All that proves is that you know nothing about statistics.
You are making yourself look silly with these posts.

Considering that inflation is a shell game, transferring wealth rather than inherently creating or destroying it, do you think that the majority benefits from inflation? Do you even feel that a large minority benefits?

I think there are a small proportion of people whose savings vastly exceed their debts, and massively more people whose debts exceed their savings, or who are roughly neutral.

You are not forced to accept fiat currency for goods and services you provide, only for settlement of debts.
And you are not forced to use fiat currency to buy goods and services from others.

What do governments pay their soldiers, contractors and employees in? What do they pay tax returns, SS and other non-employee obligations in?

When purchase orders for tanks and ammunition (or staples and printer ink) are issued, what will be spent?

None of which has anything to do with whether you are forced to accept fiat for your goods and services. You aren't. You just don't get to sell tanks to the government, because you can't force them to pay in a currency you want.
If you are selling something I want, and only accept Bitcoin as payment, my options are either to pay in Bitcoin or not buy, I cannot force you to accept payment in fiat.

I wouldn't be so sure. Liberty dollar's history shows that US government doesn't like competition.

Quote from: Wikipedia
In May 2009, von NotHaus and others were charged with federal crimes in connection with the Liberty Dollar and, on July 31, 2009, von NotHaus announced that he had closed the Liberty Dollar operation, pending resolution of the criminal charges. On March 18, 2011, von NotHaus was pronounced guilty of "making, possessing, and selling his own currency".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar

I'm sure this has come up before, and the conclusion was that you cannot create your own coins.
You can create your own notes, as long as there is no intent/risk of confusion with 'real' money.

But it also resulted in the loss of quite a significant portion of your wealth through inflation over just the last few decades.

Actually, like very many people, inflation has increased my overall worth, as I had more mortgage debt that savings, and that debt was also inflated away.

Is it odd that the only way to get a full list of your own mining and coin stats in one go is to look at the 'Pool Stats' page, rather than the 'My Stats' page.

Once you send a customer order file to an automated production line, it's hard to alter queue positioning without causing a headache upstream at the point of assembly and delivery. The idea is this meant to be as efficient and streamlined as possible.

That is quite different to saying that refunds are available until your order ships, isn't it?
There is someone who has posted here that he was refused a refund several weeks ago, and still hasn't got a miner.

Anybody able to compile it under linux?

Code:
sh-4.2$ make -f makefile.unix
/bin/sh ../share/genbuild.sh obj/build.h
../share/genbuild.sh: line 33: obj/build.h: No such file or directory
../share/genbuild.sh: line 34: obj/build.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [obj/build.h] Error 1

You need to create the obj dir first.
This seems to be true for all altcoins, because none of the developers bother to fix it.
