Would you be able to give me a quote for each of these games individually:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
Tomb Raider GOTY Edition
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Within
Torchlight II
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist

Is there any discount for buying multiple games from you?

Your not going to get a different response just because you post the request again.

OP has already stated that he's willing to accept ID as a form of 'collateral' if you read it. That being said I wouldn't exactly call it collateral - all you can use it for is to hunt down the borrower/blackmail them to return the coins and mostly with small loans it isn't worth the effort.

That simply tells you when the lease on the domain name 'PBmining.com' will expire unless they renew it/purchase an extension. It doesn't actually mean they will close down then - it isn't hard to renew a domain name.

What altcoin is NRS and what value does it have pegged against BTC? I forgot to mention that any old collateral won't do - it has to be something of equivalent or greater value that can be easily sold in order to ensure that should you default the lender is covered.

The only one I would be willing to bet on would be Bitcoin. All the others simply aren't as big or will ever attain the adoption that BTC has and will have - and to me seem to be there to give people an excuse to mine something other than Bitcoin. That being said, while I'm hopeful I'm not very expectant of Bitcoin to go the distance - after all it is an experiment and an interesting one at that.

I'll stay away from phone wallets - I seem to hear about them having holes and attack vectors every other day. In the case of myself - I'm pretty happy with my set up of an air gapped computer running Electrum and a main computer connected to the internet to create txs from. And an encrypted version of the seed stored on paper and an encrypted version of the wallet on various USBs/personal dropbox with 2FA. It'd take a lot to get through that and steal my coins 

The problem with Blockchain/any online service is that if you somehow get your details stolen (ie from a keylogger/reusing passwords/not having 2FA enabled) they can quite easily log into the wallet there and steal everything. The only way around that would be to create the paper wallet and then delete the private key from the wallet.

I personally don't like paper wallets as a cold storage solution - sure they are pretty safe (please encrypt with BIP38 so if you lose one you don't have your coins stolen) but you can't actually make transactions without having to import the whole address again which is frustrating.

@OP: Your best bet would be to just stick with your signature payment scheme - everything else will offer you a pittance in return. I suppose you could also sell your services here if you have any programming/creative skills - but I'm not sure whether that counts as free.

Do you have any collateral to offer? If you don't it's unlikely you'll receive this loan unless you have some to send to an escrow. Otherwise nothing stops you from simply taking the loan and running off.

The same reason that people don't sell their house when they want a car loan. If people expect the price of an altcoin to rise if they were to sell it and buy it back again they would buy back less than initially - however if it is used as collateral they don't have to worry about that issue.

I'm pretty sure that theymos has stated that it's not going to be re-enabled until we get the new forum software - I doubt there's be any work gone into fixing the hole.


I think only Slickage and theymos would be able to give you an actual proper estimate as to when it will come - but personally I'm thinking it'll be at least a good 9-10 months from now at least.

IIRC, theymos has stated they they impose restrictions on those who access the forums via proxies in order to prevent them from creating bots and spamming like crazy. For those who already have established accounts there are no ill effects but for those who are creating a new account from those IP's there's a small fee to ensure that you are not in fact a random bot. I'll see if I can dig up the post.

What client are you using and which version of it? I've personally received my payment for this week with no problem so its definitely an issue on your end. Can you see any of the other recent transactions you've made/received?

Depends on the upfront cost of getting solar panels. There are many factors at play when you're considering whether to run a mining farm or not - how efficient your ASICs are for their power usage, how much power they are actually going to use, the cost of that power and finally the expected return based upon a shifting network difficulty. In your case you would also have to look at how cost efficient getting solar panels would be and how much cheaper than would be for you in the long term compared to just electricity from the grid.

You'd really have to run a cost analysis - nobody would be able to tell you in definite terms without knowing the pricing for everything.

What exactly would are you planning to take them to court for? As far as I know they operate pretty much inside their TOS which you agree to when you sign up. As a result unless their TOS is itself illegal (which I don't think it is) then you don't really have any merit for any case. I do agree they have big issues with customer support (in particular unfair bias on Bitcoin transactions) but nonetheless I don't see what you can do about it.

I hoard a majority of my stash much like anyone else. That being said I do consistently make a point of using Bitcoin to buy things that can actually be bought with Bitcoin - we'll never reach acceptance if no one actually uses it as a payment system. However, it is frustrating to  see that nearly all the major retailers don't accept it - choosing smaller ones seems to lead to bad customer support for me. 

You best choice if you want to invest in Bitcoin-related items would be to choose... Bitcoin. Really just buy some now, store them away in something safe and come back in five years time and check out how you've done. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. That being said as with any investment I wouldn't advise going full blown and chucking everything you own into it - on the chance it fails you'll be set back quite a bit. Just buy enough that you'd be comfortable with the losses - Bitcoin is still experimental despite how far its come.

I've seen people claim rigged-ness off a grand total of 3 rolls on JD before. If you want to claim that a casino is lying based off the results of the games then you would have to do at least 1 million bets to have the variance at a low enough point to actually suggest what your saying is true.

No game is 'beatable' if it has a house edge. You will lose in the end. On that note I can't claim to know whether they are fair or not - I have not personally audited their RNG system so I would urge you to check it yourself before you gamble there or anywhere.

Considering that he disappeared around the time that everyone had called him out on his scam I really wouldn't be surprised that it was a shill. It is almost never worth it to believe these - the wallet they give you is likely not to contain the private key and you will never know until you crack the password. But then since the password is meant to be long and hard to crack by the time you uncover the scam the scammer will be long gone.
