Your GLBSE account has been processed for bitcoin. The next step will be to send you information about your assets, and to provide this information to issuers (if you agreed) allowing you to continue your relationship with your issuers. Received this email couple of hours ago. Strangely enough I did not have any BTC associated with this account I did receive my BTC for the other account I had d011471253c62b762bcf3e70a3ff12d249804ccaf202173cdb65c9c7edfe8c70 Date: 13/10/2012 23:50 but have not yet received an email I just hope I did not screw up my email on that one when I entered it.... I received my BTC for my account, but did not get an email either. |

Did you receive any coins, OgNasty? Many people, including myself, are reporting that their GLBSE balance has been sent to them.

Friedcat, perhaps it is time to remove "[GLBSE]" from the topic.

lol buying an automatic weapon is not an opinion, it's an action that is illegal in every country outside the middle east and Africa.
I respect your opinion that you think you should be able to have an AK47, but I think that's crazy and support laws regulating guns. That's why we have society. It has nothing to do with bitcoins or monetary policy.
A US citizen can own an automatic weapon if it is registered, and they have the right permit. See here: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14337Also, AK-47s aren't necessarily automatic. Anybody can walk into a firearm shop and purchase a semi-automatic AK-47 after a background check.  With that said, I do agree that the illegal and anonymous sale of firearms with Bitcoin could present a problem for us. The first time somebody performs a high-profile crime with a firearm they've purchased with BTC online... that's a media wet dream. Some people say that any media coverage is good, but sensationalized excrement (which happens often when the media covers shootings) could spark attempts to regulate Bitcoin, or make it illegal. |

1 make a new wallet
2 print in on paper
3 put funds on that wallet
4 sent paper via mail keep prof of sending mail
5 no charge backs can be done anyone who want to charge back scam you is fucked
This doesn't protect you at all. The problem with chargebacks is when someone uses a stolen creditcard to pay for purchased via paypal. It all looks good until a week or two later when paypay refunds the transactions (After the creditcard is reported stolen) and you've already mailed your paper wallet. But then you have an address to mail tons of steaming dog shit to. Goatse postcards, too. |

So, someone needs to start a total anonymous identityless exchange.
Great idea! I'm sure the same guys who "invested" in DMC would be all over it. Diablo's identity is more trivial to find than the identities of most other asset issuers... I'm failing to see why DMC investors would be more interested in an anonymous exchange. |

Why can't people just leave things alone. BTC
Change is good, sometimes. This community doesn't strike me as one that enjoys leaving things alone. For instance... all of the world's money.  Use whatever symbol you like... there's no "official" symbol, and it would be best if there never will be. |

I'd be concerned about giving out info to GLBSE. Nefario is going to do anything he has to to get himself out of this mess.
I don't think buying a share in a mining OP like ASICminer should be a legal issue, but you never know.
Technically, asking for IDs at this moment is totally unnecessary, because the database has not been compromised. You could work with user ID and passwords to resolve any claims. The reason must be rooted in some legal context. At this point I have zero trust in Nefario. Collecting personal information of this kind without privacy policy in place, government oversight, and insurance is outright illegal. There is no way this was attempted under real legal advice. Something else is going on. I can't help but notice that Pirate was also asking for investors' info from PPT operators towards the end of his scheme. Agreed, this is ridiculous. He hasn't disclosed any information on how he would store the data, for how long, and for what purposes. Of course, no GLBSE user ever agreed to this, so it doesn't even matter what he plans to do with the data. IANAL, but I seriously doubt this requirement would hold up in court. If Nefario was sane / legitimate, he would return all BTC and proof of asset ownership to the users. There's no need to require AML/KYC verification during the closing. |

The situation is complex because all of our assets held are ON glbse. The most important of the two are BTCMC and ASICMINER, and yochdog and friedcat are both trying to figure out how to fix it for their shareholders.
An even bigger problem is I need to sell my BTCMC stake, and without GLBSE I can't. That would have provided enough money to buy back around 2/3rds of the shares still out there, the rest could have been mopped up with the upcoming ASICMINER dividends.
I think if you look up "nothing has gone right" in the dictionary, DMC will be the example given.
I definitely agree, DMC has had some terrible luck in its short lifetime. It sucks to have no options other than to play the waiting game, for now. |

Bump, because I still haven't heard any actual movement re: Pirate
Everybody has forgotten about pirate, now we are talking about the GLBSE fiasco. Nobody has forgotten about pirate, nor will they. Pirate's tale of plunder (not really plunder, people willingly gave him coins) will be inscribed upon stone (or in the blockchain) and passed down through generations upon generations of future Bitcoinauts. |

In the end, DMC gets scammed, stolen from, victimized, and now I can't even safely shut it down.
It's sad that DMC and all the others have fallen victim to GLBSE's shutdown. Nefario is far from anonymous, and enough people are involved in GLBSE that he surely wouldn't get away with defrauding GLBSE's users. US users obviously won't have much ground to stand on in a lawsuit against him, though. As for DMC's situation, if Nefario gives shareholders a way to uniquely confirm to you that they own a specific number of DMC shares, you will be able to buy them back. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm predicting a situation where ALL assets previously listed on GLBSE will take the course of Goat's assets. That would seriously suck for both the asset issuers and the asset holders, but it would put you in a position to be able to shut DMC down safely. There's been some drama between DMC, Nefario, and others in the past. I implore you to make your best effort to make the shut-down process as painless as possible for the shareholders, Diablo. |

I don't want to speculate on anything until I've seen the announcement on Saturday.
What's all this now? Is nefario or GLBSE-related somebody or other is making an announcement? What?
Placeholder for link if I can find more info... potentially (( if I'm not being lazy playing minecraft all weekend ))Check out glbse.com. |

yep, just saw it - I overlooked the obvious - its linked on their main page.
could you ask them whether they can also provide domain registrations with full delegation? I've been looking for a provider that allows me custom glue records and other very freaky(from a point of usecase) stuff on a higher level.
Their email is admin <at> afraid.org. |

I mean that a person could possibly do good business by simply looking for resale opportunities with existing companies. For example, domain name registration. If you become a reseller from godaddy you get a discount and other perks for a certain volume of sales of their services. In some cases, you can even rebrand those services as your own. Sell those domains with BTC. You don't have to do anything other than forward on orders in many instances. Arguably offering products for resale with BTC sales opens it up to a new market. Bitinstant would work with godaddy directly to allow them to accept BTC -- but that requires changes on their end whereas they already have the capability to handle resale.
Ok, I get what you mean now. I've seen some of that already with Bitcoin, and I certainly expect it to continue if already-established businesses don't begin to accept it when their userbase is asking them to. I've seen many people give others BTC to order food, for instance. sorry, wouldnt use them. I have my own DNS recursor and my own DNS server, which I can add whatever records I want, including(what they dont seem to include) rDNS PTR records, for IPv6 addresses for example. My own box also does dyndns, with a lower TTL than any service I have seen before(which was the initial reason to set it up for me). I'm good with what I got, and it costs me only $40 a year for hosting.
FreeDNS.afraid.org supports IPv6 PTR's in the IPv6 reverse DNS section, according to Josh (admin of freedns). I've never used that feature myself. |

I wonder how they would feel about a reseller that accepted BTC at payment. It would seem that model would fit a lot of current businesses. "Yeah, I'd like to become a reseller -- and I'll deal in BTC." I think it would end up encouraging more merchants to directly accept BTC.
I don't quite get what you mean. Are you referring to companies such as Bitpay and Paysius, which take BTC from customers and optionally give the merchant a different currency? |

Does this mean you work for them and are really considering accepting Bitcoins as a payment method? If they did accept Bitcoins I would switch to the premium service straight away.
No, I'm just a user trying to get them to accept BTC. |

Added poll option: "I already pay for their premium service."

Their free account gives you DNS hosting, and 5 free subdomains (from your own domain, or from their large list of donated domains) with A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, MX, TXT, SPF, LOC, HINFO, RP, and SRV records. They also do dynamic DNS and backup DNS.
The premium account gives you from 25 to 500 subdomains, 3 to 30 stealth flags (basically the ability to add your own domains to their system, without listing them on the public list for others to add subdomains to), and wildcard DNS. Their premium accounts range from $30 to $600 a year.
I'm just trying to gauge interest, as I recently sent the admin of the site an email requesting that he accept Bitcoin. I use their free service right now with my own domain, and I've never noticed any downtime.
