721  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How much do you pay for power? on: October 29, 2012, 08:17:59 PM
How much do you pay for power and where do you live?  I'll start:

$0.1102 per KWH in Tallahassee, FL USA

Link here: http://www.talgov.com/you/customer/helpful/rates.cfm?src=reselec

Edit: My power is flat rate residential.  Please include details of your pricing structure if it's not flat rate.
I am literally a county south and I pay .065 cents for first 1k KW and .075 cents thereafter. Glad I'm not in the City.
722  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Small time miners - What do you do when ASICs hit and you don't upgrade? on: October 29, 2012, 08:16:01 PM
Since bitcoin is still in its infancy, I would say almost everyone.  What bitcoin needs today to start on the path to becoming mainstream are merchants who will accept bitcoin.  Without merchants, it will never become mainstream.


See, I think that's the problem.  Most currency is created due to the fact that people are already exchanging goods and services and they need a simpler way to do that beyond bartering and the like.  The problem with BTC is that the currency came first and it's looking for goods and services to be used on, and to be honest, I don't see that getting any better.  As others have said, due to the wild fluctuations, what producer of goods or services is going to want to deal with?  And while I'm sure BTC will and can always be used for some niche things, I don't know if it'll ever get any traction.

The fact that a single person *anywhere in the world can send an **unlimited sum of money to any person of their choice without any rules or regulations being imposed is probably the most valuable property that bitcoin has. The security of the network is in the construction process as we speak. As more time goes by I believe bitcoin will be considered a powerful form of storing/transferring wealth. Have you looked at what would happen to single bitcoins if the entire economy were to have a value of just 1 billion dollars? Half a trillion?

*internet connection required
**depends on the worth of bitcoins

I agree with this man. The very liquidity of BTC nature allows some inherent value to me. I can move money anywhere in almost any fraction in almost any time. Now from my phone, from the net, from home.. I can trade and move money cheaply or freely. I am opening a physical general store within a month or so and I plan to accept BTC for any good in my store assuming no legal complications (I'd also like to accept silver), that's beer, tobacco, general convenience goods, glass, horse/cow feed/corn, etc. So while an offline merchant may not receive much BTC.. I am planning to offer and advertise just like VISA on door/counter, etc.

Speaking of, what kind of online services or stores would be good for BTCers but don't currently exist? All I see is a sea of BTC wanting to be spent.

725  Economy / Trading Discussion / Regarding Mt GOX vouchers. on: October 23, 2012, 12:13:36 AM
I am confused on their payment funding page, it sounds like any funds from someone else could be suspect for account suspension. However upon closer inspection it seems mostly to be referring to financial institutions. My question is : Is it acceptable for someone to make a voucher at GOX For USD and trade them to me for redemption or vice versa? I was under the impression that I could make a voucher worth X BTC or X USD at GOX and trade, sell, keep, or do whatever I pleased, but I am concerned about account security first and foremost. Does anyone have any solid information on this subject ?

Ah, gotcha. Just felt so frustrating being in the middle of a couple of deals to suddenly be locked out. Bitcoin is exciting.

How in the world is one expected to do business with a limit of 10 PMS an hour? Is there even a counter to let me know when I can have the opportunity to PM again? Does this restriction ever lift? I understand spam, but whew.

Nothing.

superfastkyle,

I don't know if that is true.  It is based on proof.  Post a PM or chat log of the terms of the deal.   Post a screen shot of your pp transaction.  Post a link to the empty address.  

If the btc address is empty after a period of time, and timing was not agreed upon previously that is a scammer.   Also the person being accused of scamming can answer in the thread as well.  

So the point is Bitcoiner2012 has to post proof.

Also enough people around  here know epiks so I'm sure he'll service surface to respond.

And if he is indeed a scammer, I'll personally help in tracking him down (which won't be hard).

I fucking HATE scammers.

Your wish is my command.

Here is my pay receipt, and here are the only and last messages I received from him.






Enough?

If anyone is looking to get rid of any of these particular models, please just send me a message here or PM. I can pay Amazon Payment, PayPal, or BTC. I have a couple good trades here so far with established members and am working on two more.

Thanks,

I sent gift to do him a favor.
737  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DO NOT DEAL WITH "epiks", SCAM. on: October 21, 2012, 03:42:39 PM
Epiks has not responded to me from the moment I sent him the 1k USD PayPal for BTC. Not once in any way or form.
738  Economy / Scam Accusations / DO NOT DEAL WITH "epiks", SCAM. on: October 20, 2012, 05:52:15 PM
Scammed 1k USD from me. I did two good transactions with PayPal earlier with a great member on this forum, but Epiks stole my money and refuses to respond. Here is his profile link, it has been over two days. This is just for everyone else to know.

How many BTC per 100 USD AMZ card?
740  Economy / Currency exchange / WTB BTC for USD PP on: October 18, 2012, 03:32:57 AM
I can take the fee, or gift, or whatnot. I am a 10+ year verified PayPal member. I did business earlier with a known seller here and it was fantastic, but it appears he has retired for the evening. Please don't post "lol PP newbie" posts, only PM or post if actually interested. I want about 250 coins.
