8041  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is TradeFortress breaking the law? on: July 15, 2013, 02:23:57 AM
I was challenging his position, it's all conjecture with no basis.  I am asking a question in the law forum and his answer sounded informative yet lacked substance.  So I asked for clarity.  I do not believe a company/person/firm can offer bank-like services without a state and/or federal charter.


While certainly not a definitive source here is a definition worth noting:


bank

An organization, usually a corporation, chartered by a state or federal government, which does most or all of the following: receives demand deposits and time deposits, honors instruments drawn on them, and pays interest on them; discounts notes, makes loans, and invests in securities; collects checks, drafts, and notes; certifies depositor's checks; and issues drafts and cashier's checks.

First of all, what you're asking is based on American laws. He's not from the United States; he's from Australia. I do not know how their laws work as I do not reside there and as such have had no real reason to look into them. As far as I know, though, they have never made a statement about Bitcoin being the same as money there; what the United States says is irrelevant here.

What TF is offering is not illegal because it doesn't deal with money. What he's doing is no different than you borrowing a piece of paper from someone and returning two pieces the next day. You really think the person who accepts the two pieces is committing a crime because they are earning 100% interest/day or 36,500% interest a year on that piece of paper?

If he were dealing with cash, it would be different. As long as he's not, he is well within the lines of what is allowed.

Dead link..

Try again, the link is working

Time left: 9d 20h ... LOL
Why are u posting this on forum ?

Why not? I'm selling the jalapeno so I'm posting it here, this is the marketplace.

What the fuck?
Thats way more expensive than at BLF itself, and firmware is there to be updates, not to pay another 800$...

Have you seen what's the price I started to sell the jalapeno? 100$ what is less than at BFL.

What the fuck?
Thats way more expensive than at BLF itself, and firmware is there to be updates, not to pay another 800$...
You have no clue, so refrain from making comments like this in the future. Just for your own sake that is.

The price as it is now on ebay is about right. Flashing the firmware is not a simple update, you need special hardware to do that.

Thanks, that's true, to flash the jalapeno you need special hardware and if you mistake is possible to brick the jalapeno.

Time left: 9d 20h ... LOL
Why are u posting this on forum ?

I'm wondering why it's listed with a 10 day delay as well... if I bought one, I would want it within a couple days; there's no way I would offer up money NOW so he can mine with it for another 10-13 days before sending it out. That's asinine.

Why not? This jalapeno was ordered more than one year ago so if you want it in a couple of days, you can make an offer and I will send it to you today if you want.

ebay links should not be allowed on this forum no more, u either sell here, or ebay

Why not? This is the marketplace and I'm selling on eBay so I don't know what's the problem.



Difficulty is set to jump up at least 15% days before the auction even ends, lol. People who bid on this with today's difficulty in mind are literally losing ROI every single day they wait. This is why it's a bad idea.

A 10-day delay when difficulty is rising still is nothing but a loss in money.

What would you take for it now? That's the good question.

It gets you exactly what you want - more video cards.  Since you are rejecting it, chances are between June 28 and today your account was hacked or sold and you are just going to run off with the coins.   Undecided
+1

or, he knows that the cards won't be able to mine that much, hence he will use it as excuse for not repaying the loan.

No sane people would lend you money to buy videocards for mining, now that plenty of ASICs are there...


Another red flag is that he stated he's out of money because he just paid off some of his student loan... this means you end up stuck with the "you can't take blood from a turnip" situation.

99.9% of people that find phones do not know how to do that. Implausible at best.

He was in the restaurant to do a Bitcoin deal.  So the guy at the same table as him likely knew how to do it.

I think that's where I'd start my investigation if I was him.

I'm not invested in JD but this seems ridiculous to me, that he would even ask for a refund. Like someone else brought up with the casino situation... I can't go to a casino, claim I accidentally left my wallet sitting at one of the slots and when I went back it had $5,000 less so I want a refund. They will tell me to get lost because it's my fault.

Hmm, maybe we should offer an altcoin testing service..  Miners would get paid in LTC of course.

I don't quite follow. What do you mean by this exactly?

An error has occured - "NO_BALANCE"
Your balance: Current: 0 satoshi | All time: 45,000 satoshi
Cash out amount: 20,000 satoshis
Cash out all

Faucet was out of coins, it has been refilled.

So I won 45'000 Satoshi, but I can't cash them out?
Your faucet need some work maybe  Grin

Yep, I ran into this problem as well, which is why I removed it from my rotator. Looks like when it's out of coins you lose anything you tried to cash out since it *thinks* it paid even though it didn't.

This finished ages ago you fucking idiot...sigh. ALL of your posts are spam.

Why can't people read...especially the DATES!

He doesn't read at all. Look at his post history through his profile. I went through quite a few and everything there is either irrelevant, spam or off-topic. I think he's trying to build up post count for something...
8055  Economy / Services / Re: FREE BTC! BTC Faucet Timer/Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 11:16:12 PM
Update: new faucet added: Domestic Pineapple! This one has a pretty small payout requirement and all it needs is your Inputs.io email address (sign up for it, it's free and is really useful -- I use that myself as well because of its massive benefits!).
8056  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] CoinFaucets - BTC Faucet Timer and Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 01:13:13 PM
Up! Many changes have occurred visually and structurally to the site over the past few weeks, Smiley.
8057  Economy / Services / Re: FREE BTC! BTC Faucet Timer/Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 04:28:57 AM
Alright, i tried again, and this time i paid more attention to what was going on on the whole screen and noticed that when i submitted the form and getting the error, a little banner from NoScript (which i thought i had disabled) popped up for a couple of seconds. After checking the stuff inside the settings of that extension i noticed "Application Boundaries Enforcer" was still enabled. After disabling it, the site worked as intended.

Thanks for updating me on this, Smiley. Glad to see you got it working properly now!
8058  Economy / Services / Re: FREE BTC! BTC Faucet Timer/Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 03:14:26 AM
Hm, i'm not sure if this is the site that complained about Tor before, but i got a Tor related message, and this time i remembered to write it down:

Quote
Warning: file_get_contents(http://exitlist.torproject.org/exit-addresses) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php on line 101

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php:101) in /home/redcoins/domains/redcoins.co/public_html/verifym.php on line 6
I hope that helps.

(Unfortunatly i got distracted and forgot to pay attention to what the site before this one was, sorry.)

Btw, would it be hard to add some sort of counter or progress bar showing where you are on the list of sites; to show how many so far and give an idea how long until the end is reached?

That is an odd error. I just tried it myself (through both the rotator and directly) and got through with no problems... Click this and let me know if you get the same error (this is the direct link to that site).

RE: the counter... that's an interesting idea that I had thought of, I just need to figure out how I want to handle it for efficiency. The site is pretty minimalist right now (in fact, it's all run off a few flat-files and stores nothing on the server). I have an idea on how to handle your request though and I'll see what I can do to get it implemented.
8059  Economy / Services / Re: FREE BTC! BTC Faucet Timer/Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 02:24:08 AM
Btw, can't you code somthing that will write on a log on the server whenever a certain site doesn't load for someone, and then send you an email or some other type of alert when some site gives too many failures in a day or somthing of the sort? Making the test happen on people's browsers when they are actually trying to load the page anyway means there would be no additional load put on their servers.

I wouldn't even know where to start on that. I don't actually pull the site through: it simply loads them up in a frame. So on my end, nothing is even happening when it comes to grabbing the sites.

I like the idea of the captcha thing, but getting the sites to agree would definitely pose a problem, Sad. There are quite a few that don't even have contact information or don't respond when you try to contact them -- I've only left them active since they are still actively paying.
8060  Economy / Services / Re: FREE BTC! BTC Faucet Timer/Rotator! on: July 13, 2013, 01:17:27 AM
Alright, i've finished the loop (well, at least the ones that worked; i had a couple empty pages and one claimed i was a Tor exit node even though i ain't and have not been in ages).


It would be nice if i could fill just a single CAPTCHA and have that be enough proof i'm human for all those sites at once...but i guess no one will be making such a system since there probably won't be enough demand to justify the effort...

If you can please try to keep up with when you get blank pages (the site they come just before) and submit them to me with times that would help immensely, as well as the Tor error one. When you get a blank white page that's because the page it tried to pull was down, and some of the sites go through sporadic outages so it's hard for me to lock them down on my own. If I get reports though of sites being down often, I'll remove them from the list and contact the owners myself (or do my best effort to). I'd love to keep the site with nothing but perfectly working faucets (I know everything on the list right now pays), but it's hard without reports to help me out, Smiley.

Regarding the captcha... the different sites use different systems. Some are using custom, some are using ad-based, some are using video-based and some use systems like ReCaptcha. It's pretty much impossible to create a system that could do all of those for you; even as it is, most services that allow you to "bypass" those have fees because all they do is submit them to real people to solve for you. In an ideal world, Captchas would never be needed. Sadly, too many people try to cheat the system, =/.

I want to thank you very much for taking the time to comment, though, and I hope this helps with your concerns. If there are any others, please don't hesitate to contact me, Smiley.
