Works for me but is slower than the second coming of Jesus. Suspected oversold VPS perhaps

Would also be awesome to have brokers for GLBSE for people who can't figure it out, I remember lambert guy wanting to do that before disappearing. Maybe somebody more trusted who trades all day

I think that's how they are able to directly sell bitcoins to email now. Now bitinstant is truly instant, pay them and get coins immediately.
How is the email part relevant to a FinCEN license? Also, Charlie has been saying for a while now that they had applied for it, so maybe it was only recently approved.

I thought before they could only move money, not convert it into anything else including BTC

If they won't do it means there's an opportunity for somebody here to make a BTC->games exchange. Clone exchangezone.com, modify for bitcoins and then anybody can sell/buy games and vouchers through escrow. idk

Thread politics hijacking aside I2p is hugely popular in Germany, convert the site to German and make a mirror into an eepsite would get a lot of extra biz.

Tor would probably be too slow for GLBSE.. make your transaction and something times out.. NOOOooo somebody else buys it before you.

Webmoney withdrawal is near instant, and still cheaper than anywhere else I can buy it. a++

woah woah. Are we going to stop using Western Union, PayPal, iGolder, Pecunix and cash (maybe make them illegal??!). People are using it for drugs, and I bet terrorism too.

So true
No articles scandalizing the name of Paypal because these drug dealers used it.

91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wired: Suspects Arrested in Online Drug Market Sting on: April 17, 2012, 03:19:38 AM
Busted due to Hushmail.. why anybody ever trusts cloud encryption??
Paypal for drugs... Huh Wow great job

When I worked @ ebay you could buy advertisements that aren't listings, so can still advertise your bitcoins for sale that come up in searches just it would happen offsite through a more trusted payment method.  I think they still offer ads.

You can also link paypal accounts to an ATM card that comes with virtual bank account, then drain the funds and get cash in hand before transfering any coins. If paypal freezes the account get a new VBA.

All sales are done on private industry forums. We aren't using Xrumer or anything, it's basically Blackhat SEO 'lite'.
One of our services a subscriber receives a cpanel like interface where they click a button and can advertise easily on fb/ident.ca and other social networking sites, create mass blogs, and traffic to improve so-called organic search engine rankings that would take days to set up manually. None of it is illegal, just clever.

It's not an empire either, just a few servers with consistent turnaround. No cookie stuffing, no spam, no Adsense scams or anything. People use us for ranking, not for advertising income. I've been trying to turn it into a 100% Bitcoin business but still have holdouts who insist on using Webmoney, Ukash and Liberty Reserve for payments, the fees to exchange we eat but are now next to nothing thanks to BTC-e.com and other exchangers here.

Are you planning to verify ID? If so, when?

Today tomorrow I'll send in scans
Patrick from lending base also has my information

There's a bunch of Brazillian sites on the bitcoin wiki

No idea if they could handle that much

Any money transfer system based on online banking is doomed to fraud unfortunately.

In the U.S. they've yet to allow retail banking (consumer banking) customers do ACH push.   Add in a Yubikey requirement to allow ACH push (only with the key) and most of the problem with unauthorized transactions is solved.   The problem is banks see that switch as being too expensive, in financial terms and consumer education and support.  It is still cheaper to pass on the cost of fraud to either the customers or the merchant, and when forced to, eat a little themselves.

There's a gold and currency exchange office where I live where you can walk in, lay down cash and they will send risky electronic transactions for a small fee, so the receiver is guaranteed clean funds.

Yubikey and other requirements for online banking would be great but seems to me banks and credit card companies are willing to just eat the fraud if it's easy for their customers to use. Push a button send money.

I had some extra BTC so I refunded that guy everything, he/she get's 9 free shares Smiley
Relisted at 0.2BTC each.

Can't remember where I read GLBSE listed stocks in $USD.. oops, anyways fixed.
98  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] - TCC The Coin Continuum on: April 16, 2012, 11:21:30 PM
Just send out a dividend of 0.79 per share and move on. Wink

That's what I was going to do Smiley
Waiting to hear back from GLBSE, in 20mins will do just that (and some extra to cover fees)
99  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Email from Dwolla Regarding Reversals on: April 16, 2012, 11:20:30 PM
30 day wait won't really prevent fraud.

There is logic for the 30-day wait.  It states that you must have used Dwolla to transfer funds from your bank account at least 30 days prior.  Thus if a scammer did a bank transfer without the bank account holder realizing it right away, the passing of one statement cycle increases the chances the transaction would be discovered.

This will help Dwolla with Dwolla Instant as well, as if the scammer were to have created the account and applied for the line of credit, at least the chances are that the legitimate account holder will likely learn that this account and/or credit line was created before any funds were transferred to a bitcoin exchange.


True this does prevent simple new signup fraud, but still doesn't combat identity theft. Can open bank accounts remotely using somebody's stolen identity, launder other stolen funds through it to Dwolla, then apply for credit after the 30 days. Some scammers are in it for the long haul if they can pull it off.

Any money transfer system based on online banking is doomed to fraud unfortunately. Trustcash wins again

Oops, thought GLBSE listed their shares for USD.
Will change everything over to BTC.

Oh... Don't forget to refund shares that are already sold. Smiley (Don't know how it works but I'm assuming you could pay the difference as a dividend before making the new offer.)


Yes, will do.
Will reissue @ 0.2BTC/share, and refund of course + pay any fees they had to pay.

Fixing this right now, hopefully I can just transfer that person more shares for what they've already paid.
