I'll be retired by 33.
I save 75-80% of my income currently, have plans to build a house within the next year (eco home made with earthbags, very low cost)
Once I remove my housing costs I will easily save 90%+ of my income.
By 33 I will be financially independent (have enough to never work again) but I will continue working, or i'd get bored.
My plan is to continue til about 40, then Ill have way more money than I need, and I can take up something interesting and expensive like diving without worrying about paying for it.
Do you have a wife and kids? I'm guessing no. I have a wife, no kids. The wife is my main expense, lol |

This is assuming that my x amount of bitcoins do not go up. Even if they stagnate I am on course for this, if they go to $5000 a piece it'd knock at least 2 years off that, I would be financially independent if that alone happened, let alone my savings.

Has anyone used these? hardwarewallet.com
Are they legit? Do they work well? Who developed them? Are they a member here or well known or anything?

Is it really possible to steal coins from SR 2.0? They had removed the escrow system many months ago, and replaced it with the multi-sig wallet system. If SR 2.0 does not hold Bitcoins of its users anymore, how it is possible to steal the coins from that site?
Anyway, if a robbery did actually happened, then I am sure that the admins will refund the lost coins. They had already did that during the last robbery.
They havent implemented multi sig yet, it's in beta for a small number of users. Also, the original "hack" wasn't a hack. Defcon et al, realised they were playing a very dangerous game, and that the money they were making wasn't worth it. So they came up with a figure - say $3 million that they wanted for their own risk. They stole it themselves, blaming transaction malleability with some lame ass excuse about how they were moving all the money into the hot wallet just as the hacker struck (lol) Once they had their little nest eggs stashed away so they had money to disappear if the FBI came calling or they felt under threat they returned with their "sweaty and humbled" speech about how they would repay everyone, then they repay everyone with a percentage of the fees they're collecting from users. (they're probably still skimming, I bet 100% of fees are not repaying people) It makes sense, if I was them I'd do the exact same thing, rather than earn $10,000 a week or whatever knowing at any time the FBI could bust you and you'd have risked everything for a measly sum, start by stealing a good amount so you're safe then let the users repay that... I understand the part about them stealing the bitcoin at first so to have to not take on the risk of being caught by law enforcement. What I don't understand is why they continued to operate the site after the "hack" - their risk of jail time is still present. I do agree that the timing of the previous attack was very suspicious as it coincided with a time when the amount of money held in escrow was more or less at an all time high. because they want to continue making money. They stole their nest egg, now they're adding to it. I do not believe that it's taken so long to repay the hack, there has also been some very suspicious scams. Obvious scammers made vendors with good feedback, accounts hijacked. I genuinely believe the crew behind SR2 are running it as a long con. They both steal and scam, and run it as a real market in order to maximise their profits. They stole $3m or thereabouts. They set up people like RaulGallardo with vendor accounts, and stole tens of thousands. Quite a few weird vendors have popped up and stolen money even when vendor reg was closed...somehow. So I guess they probably steal a small proportion, I dunno, say 3% of the money going through the site. They also run it legitimately, getting 4% fees or so, but I bet they are using half of that to repay victims and half for themselves, hence why it's taken since february to repay. These guys are professional crooks, to think they're running their highly illegal darknet market in an honest way is laughable. Look what happened to the last guy who did that. |

yes, it's Legit but plan on taking 6 months to get ROI.. I have mine for about 3 months, and still haven't gotten ROI, but I do get paid weekly so I can't complain
Explain how it is legit, what mining hardware have you seen? Where did they purchase it from? Why do they pay with mixed coins? Answer any of these and I'll be satisfied it's legit. If you can't, and your idea of "legit" is that they have given you back half the money you gave them, you're a moron. |

falllling is just a foreign troll paid to post. If you check his login times he posts for a regular amount of hours, it's his day job.
If you post on freelancer you can easily find an unemployed indian with poor english to post on a forum for 8 hours a day for around $50 a week.

bitstamp are badly managed, it's a shame that bitcoin is still largely reliant on ass hats like them.

lol all i want is like 23$ worth xD shit man id use quickbit if my bank was on the interac list  So buy a $25 moneypak and trade it Don't hang around here saying people have no heart cuz they're not opening themselves up to getting scammed by some illiterate twat. |

Yeah man i am having a shitload of problems just buying .04 btc lol pm me if you find someone with a heart..
It's really really simple if you're not attempting to rip someone off. Go to 7/11, walmart, CVS, Rite-Aid or anywhere that sells them. Open your wallet, take out the money in your wallet, use it to buy a greendot moneypak, or vanilla reload. Exchange with someone on here for bitcoins. You can have bitcoins in under an hour this way. Or you can post screenshots of shitty paypal account that have been dormant for 5 months and pretend you want to buy $410 worth of bitcoin. |

lmao, he can't go anywhere on this forum any more

Why does the "Upgrade", "Verified", and "View Limits" text have some funny background colors? If the screenshot is real, how does this prove it's not a hacked paypal account? Assuming it's not a hacked account, how will this guarantee there won't be any chargebacks?
So again, what exactly does this screenshot prove?
Also the only transactions are from Apr and March, this is just a ridiculously poor scam attempt, hence my above lmfao |

haha I don't go looking for challenges on purpose, this one just nearly scammed me and I took it personally  I know how you feel! You deserve credit for pulling back the blanket on pbmining, without your posts in this thread or the pbmining service thread, a lot of the information we have now on pbmining would have never come to light. A tip of the hat sir... I made this thread and then they've still made millions of dollars, so I didn't do much good. Wait til they 404 on everyone and then you'll see what I really know. I just like to stop people getting scammed. If you look through my post history I've stopped a few scammers in their tracks, but even when I have given a detailed explanation of some scams (like that Escalade guy) people invested $5000 with him. ffs. You literally cannot help some people. |

I wouldn't be shocked to see an announcement from them soon that "given the recent developments in the bitcoin ecosystem, blah blah blah.... we've made the difficult decision to blah blah blah" and the whole thing goes 404. If Mr. Piggles is looking for a new challenge, there's another wacky ponzi (alleged) starting up over GAW, more stubborn newbies, a payout campaign full of shills and sock puppets, mysterious payouts, mining farms that actually warehouse photos, you name it.
