I'm not sure why more people in the US don't use this, it seems like a no-brainer to me!
...  Am I missing something here?
There is no Chase within 50 miles of my house.

Yep, adding Bank of America might help a lot of people.

A friend of mine uses bitcoin AND bank of america so this would help a lot.

Oh and Western Union.

Open question for the bitfloor king. If I have a Chase account can't I just do an account to account transfer from my home or do I HAVE to go down to the teller, withdraw from my account and deposit into your account?

Second this. Via Chase Person-to-Person QuickPay(sm) and/or "Use Chase cards to pay at merchant sites"- http://www.chasepayeedirectory.com/chasebiller/home.html - Bitfloor needs to be added to that directory!

So you plunder private wealth to prop up businesses run by closet assholes who want to rely upon plundered wealth instead of admitting "we're assholes, not charities".

Fuck that tyrannical bullshit.

I think we have a movie idea. The phone rings... "bitcoin" is heard in a gasping voice. Panic ensues. You post a message on a forum. Strange people make even stranger comments. Soon everyone from that forum starts making random phone calls just to say "bitcoin." It becomes viral....

COINTAGION!

Ever stop to think that maybe businesses could be competitive and charge fairly if there was actually a free market and not just crony capitalism/socialism in the U.S.?

If you don't have a chase bank just wire me some money and I'll deposit it for you!

Don't offer this.
1) Bitfloor accepts wires from any bank in the world
2) Most likely the only people willing to take you up on this offer would do so in order to launder money through your account.  When you get a knock on the door and some DEA agents want to know how/why $50K worth of funds related to a drug sting went through your bank account you will be saying "man that was stupid".

You are correct.  Putting other peoples money through your own account is not a good idea.  But I don't launder money.  So If you don't have a chase bank just wire me some money and I'll deposit it for you!

As previously mentioned multiple times, people don't need a Chase bank to wire money to Bitfloor. Your middleman services are redundant and carry unnecessary legal liability.

Seller generates one, sends the requisite exchanged amount to it, puts it in the jingle, deletes it from their client. Buyer redeems the key, sends on to their actual address.

I don't give a fuck about constitution's interpretation, either you're for federal regulations or not - make up your mind. If you're then don't get butthurt when feds decide to ban your precious guns.

Another Hawker is born? Ignore list entry #2 added.

NYS: Outside of NYC the cost to get a CCW license is $10 with $3 fee for fingerprinting. If $13 is expensive, may be you should get a job?!

Fun fact: Buffalo has conceal carry, and its crime rate 3x times more than in NYC.

1: NYC's population is 40% of the state's combined population. That's almost 8,244,910 living under the most brutal level of tyranny in the state and forced to pay a tax/bribe, be a criminal or be a defenseless victim.
2: Fun Fact: Buffalo, NYC, and the rest of New York State do not have to issue any subject a carry license by law. The only way to guarantee this is to bribe the right people. Rights denied=tyranny, criminals' utopia.
3: Every government has every reason in the world to fudge its crime rates, and I've witnessed crimes and police responses NEVER making it into the detailed stats, down to time, place, and incident type (convictions not required). It's surprising 100% of them don't lie their asses off, as there's really no penalty for doing so.

A military base where carrying guns is prohibited by all but a few MPs and civilian LEOs.

Mute point, the base is highly secure. Even if everyone was armed, he could have gone into a section where were no guns - hospital, showers, etc.

"Highly secure" my fucking ass. Highly secure for mass murderers to kill with impunity while it takes minutes for LEOs to arrive, more like.

NYC is one of safest metro areas

According to NYC and criminals who want ovine patronage, /rolleyes

Must be great to be a cop in NYC! You can violate every human, civil, constitutional right with effective impunity, and some people will deny the fact that it's a police state until their final breath. What reason could they possibly have for rejecting reality and substituting their own? Stockholm Syndrome? Benefiting from tyranny?

I'm against federal and state regulations. They do nothing, except disarm the good guys.

Then you're missing the big pictures. I chose where I want to live, I vote for what I believe for. If majority wants one way, well it becomes a law. Don't like - plenty of states to move in to. If you're an anarchist, you're welcome to immigrate to Somalia. I don't think you're good a guy anyway - you only care about yourself.

And you apparently only care about mob rule and ensuring the "majority" (as claimed by tyrannical governments) can be as evil as it wants, which cannot invalidate inherent human rights. Follow that logic to its conclusion and the majority would be able to choose whether innocents live or die, be raped or not, be maimed or not, lose every bit of property they own or not; that could not possibly be more repugnantly inhuman.

Still kinda wondering about the Chase cash deposit system that adds an extra amount to what you enter on the site. Does the extra amount also get deposited along with the base amount you entered?
7414  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Guns on: July 23, 2012, 09:00:52 PM
Perhaps, but you cannot deny that they are less likely to even start it if the costs are too high. Check this related interview: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/stagnaro5.html
Plus this again, which has already being linked here: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/john-joe-grays-militant-group-texas-compound/story?id=9819578#.T-x1N7WXRS0

Also, there's police brutality too. I already gave an example here in this same thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90086.msg994129#msg994129

There is police brutality in states, gun ownership in most states is allowed. Even in pretty restrictive states like NY, you can still conceal carry weapons with a permit.

That may or may not be granted, and even if it is, the tax/bribe/whatever you want to call it, is prohibitively expensive, IOW unconstitutional.

well, food should include all deaths from obesity. Firearms/traffic should not include suicide. And alcohol should include long term disease.
The point is why are we picking this one risk? Why not the many more serious problems.?

LOL tweaking statistics to your liking? Really stop posting crap.

A gunman killed twelve people in a MILITARY base:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Hood_shooting



A military base where carrying guns is prohibited by all but a few MPs and civilian LEOs.

However, Lt. General Cone stated: "As a matter of practice, we do not carry weapons on Fort Hood. This is our home." Military weapons are only used for training or by base security, and personal weapons must be kept locked away by the provost marshal.

Still weapons are there. Police was there. The point that such shootings are hard to prevent:

Colorado shooting started at 12:38am, police was there at 12:40am, and at 12:45am the suspect was already in custody.

It's pretty much 2 minutes of carnage. Noone would have done anything to stop it.

They're easy to enable, because everyone can't carry a cop, and if you ban guns like the theater, the base, and the site of just about every modern massacre, all victims are defenseless to be murdered and maimed with impunity in the minutes it takes police to arrive. There's a common theme of massacres: high body counts=in gun free zones. Low body counts, including the criminal=guns not-free zones.

Let states decide what they want to do. Keep feds out. NYC is doing fine without guns.

For criminals, who find utopia when they have nothing but defenseless victims, and cops who violate civil rights with impunity. The defenseless victims of crime and tyranny, not so much.

The old guy shot like 6-7 times, missed most of them. No imagine if he killed someone else with a stray bullet. Whoops.

No amount of FUD is beneath you, it seems.
7415  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Guns on: July 23, 2012, 09:45:19 AM

A chainsaw is most definitely designed to kill.


I would not want to hang out with some of you people.   Shocked

Seriously...

Breaking News! Criminals and their advocates tend not to hang out at cop bars (unless they also have badges)...

"Statistics" cannot invalidate inherent human rights in the U.S. federal court system, especially the right to self-defense.

Err... we can make amendments to the Constitution. Due Process is already gone, and nobody even bothered to make an amendment about it.

The due process clause is what was used to incorporate the 2nd Amendment to the states in McDonald v Chicago, rather than the privileges/immunities clause. Constitutional scholars and lawyers would probably disagree it's gone. P&orI, on the other hand, is on life support with Justice Thomas as its nurse. Fortunately, the 2A merely codifies the right that preexisted Man, it doesn't create the right or grant it, so even if the 2A was repealed and the steps of gun control that lead to genocide were taken, we'd still have the right to defend ourselves at natural law. As does anyone living under a government that labels self-defense a crime and then starts exterminating its own people, usually those who can defend themselves first.

Seller records a jingle. Buyer pays for a copy of the jingle (but really BTC). Seller inserts a recording of the private key being spoken at a random point in the jingle. Sends MP3 (at password-protected URL) to buyer. Receipt of payment and download is generated, so whoever tries to initiate chargebacks will run up against the proof they received the MP3.

Thoughts? Steal the idea if you wish... I don't have the infrastructure or skills (other than speaking).
