Why do you still use use FIAT.  It has lost 3/4's of it value since being removed form the gold standard. 

But I guess you are ok with that because everyone else uses it.

Lemming.

to Matt
What is going on

Please respond.

Matt
to me
My account has been compromised. I never paid you anything. Sorry mate. It's doubtful that PayPal will give me my funds (which I just loaded) back.
I clicked a fraudulent link in an email and I believe that's how they accessed my PayPal. I'll keep in touch.

Regards,
Matt.



to Matt
you fucking liar

You said "Thanks Mate" when I paid you.  I have the fucking chat log.  So the scammer talks like you too.    Wait till paypal sees that.

You fuck .  Cancel that reversal NOW or I will become your worst nightmare!


Matt
to me
I'm sorry that somebody paid you off of my account, but there is nothing I can do about that.


to Matt
YOU paid me off your account "MATE" 
Cancel the fucking  chargeback

Matt
to me
I canceled the complaint, mainly because I am scared where this will go. I hope you realize I didn't pay you, but I gave you my money anyway for nothing.

to Matt
Don't let me see you back on IRC anytime soon


Matt
to me
Wait, please talk to me for a sec. Did you get your money back? I can't tell if it's cancelled

to Matt
Not yet.

to me
Can you please help me? I go to it and it says it's an invalid action


to Matt
You better call paypal now.
Before I do and make a FRAUD complaint.


Matt
to me
Alright, calling them now. You have to realize I'm freaking out right now.

to Matt
You have to realize you fucking tried to rip  me off for 180 BUCKS!


Matt
to me
I understand somebody did, not me. I'm just trying to get you your money, please be patient.
I'm so sorry I had an insecure account. Please just give me time.
On the phone with PayPal right now. Waiting to get transfered to a representative.

to Matt
Des Moines, IA

to me
In order for me to cancel, you must respond to the dispute. Just respond with "have communicated with buyer and worked something out".

to Matt
ok


Matt
to me
I do live in Des Moines Iowa, you're right. Please just work with me.


Matt
to me
Have you responded to the claim? You have to understand that this wasn't me, please don't threaten me anymore.

Guys,

I don't think it matters what we think.

Shots have been fired.  Battle line are being drawn.

Ask the parents of dead Iraqi children if they thought the war on terror fought in there country was legal and/or valid.

The FED and now California are declaring war.  Most other states will fall in line.

Individual prosecution is next.

832  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MtGox no longer the standard for exchange rate on: June 22, 2013, 10:51:01 PM
Phoenix1 posted this on the wall thread as a quote:

Quote
To calculate the exchange rate for US Dollars, we pull up-to-the-minute BID prices from three exchanges. We take the 2 that are closest together and toss out the third, so that a bad feed from one exchange will not affect our calculation. Of the 2 rates that remain, Bit-Pay uses the highest BID price as our exchange rate.

Now, this is really interesting. Basically if Bitstamp and BTCE are near each other in price, then the Gox price is thrown out.  Kiss

Further, consider what this will due to the volume at Gox. If Gox is always higher, then, I believe this means, Gox will not be getting Bitpay's business. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

IAS

This quote is not new.  It has been this way for a long time officially although either their algorithm was more complex than that or at times they over-rode it manually because there have been times before when gox was the outlier but it was still used.  My guess on seeing the announcement is that this means of determining price has been discontinued and superseded by the new one where they are specifically excluding gox and using another means (maybe using btce, bitstamp and cbx (although cbx is really small volume in comparison with the other two).

It is a variation on the old way that I have been using as my means of determining price for some time.  Hence the spreadsheet that gives me this that I occasionally share:



This is the first time I've seen the mtgox volume at less than 50%.  That's quite something.  We live in interesting times Smiley

where are you getting your volume numbers?

Serp This is great.

I have a bunch of these from the conference too.  I've been passing them out at bitcoin meet up and using them as conversation starters (but they have no value)

I spent (very little) time researching labels and trying to figure out how to print them.

I also want to try to use these as business cards with a qr code of contact info and maybe a link to weusecoins.com

Care to share you label / print method.

Thx.

834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who need bitcoin to launder money when you have... on: June 22, 2013, 08:34:43 PM
Very interesting.  How does the nail/hair salon laundering work?

(fuck bitcoin... I'm joining a biker gang! unfortunately I'd probably have to come out of my basement for the initiation.)


Easy, you get a lawyer to set up shell holding companies with obfuscated directors that then buy/lease nail salons or other cash based businesses. Then you hire employees for real customers but your gang crony runs the books, and at the end of the day you fill the books with cash drug money for services that never happened and get your lawyer to whittle down the corporate tax to nearly nothing. If you max out the store income where they might start asking questions just keep opening up more stores.

If anybody lives in Vancouver walk down Kingsway St and note there is viet nail salons as far as the eye can see side by side, and hair salons, and spas. $300-800 spa treatments, multiplied by 80 fictional customers per day including the profit from the 20-40 or so customers you actually had is about a million dollars per month. Now open up twenty more stores and your coke and heroin windfall profits have a place to go.


Moni3z that is fucking Genius!

Here is NYC There are fucking Nail Salons on every fucking block.  I never understood how a nail salon could afford the crazy rents for ground floor and cornor business along Broadway in NYC.  One I used to walk by one every day and I swear half the time the entire staff was just sitting around talking out looking out the window.

Now I know!

835  Bitcoin / Meetups / Re: Bitcoin EU Convention 2013 (Amsterdam, Netherlands September 27th~29th) on: June 22, 2013, 08:10:55 PM
My name's Moe. I live in Amsterdam and am invested in bitcoin. I think it would be great to have a unified European conference,  and have harnessed the collective talent of a few well integrated individuals to invite and create this conference with me.

Moe I think that is great.  I would love to see that happen and attend.  Unfortunately your credibility as a legitimate endeavor is undermined by your association with the narcissistic troll M.N.W.  (I don't know M.N.W. personally but my entire opinion of him has been formed by his numerous inane posts here [when he is not on my ignore list] and from his idiotic music videos [which he has since removed] from his youtube channel) and your own anonymity. 

If you want this to be a unified European conference of anonymous (potentially illegal) bitcoiners, bitcoin business and narcissistic trolls then be clear about that.

James McCarthey (the scammer Nefario) and Amir Taaki organized the London Bitcoin Conference in 2012

Peter Vessenes (regardless what you may think of him and his foundation) organized a very successful US bitcoin meeting in San Jose in May of 2013

Pamir Gelenbe has organized BTCLondon 2013 coming up in July.

Somone is organizing a "expo" at a pub in london in November of 2013 http://bitcoinexpo.co.uk/

Amir Taaki is orgainzing the unsystem conference in Vienna November 1-3 https://unsystem.net/

Lot of "conferences" coming up and I think this can only help grow the bitcoin economy, but bitcoin is "growing up" and  it is my strong opinion that  to be legit you have to 1. come out of the shadows and 2. Associate with reputable individuals.

837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who need bitcoin to launder money when you have... on: June 22, 2013, 08:02:03 PM
Canada still has some $1,000 bills still floating around, the government panicked and stopped issuing them, the highest note is $100 now but you can still use the $1,000 bills

Drug dealers here use hundreds of nail and hair salons and other service/cash based businesses to launder their millions per month. They don't need bitcoin, high valued bills or anything besides a lawyer and a few businesses that accept cash.

In fact a local biker gang runs a supermarket, multiple automotive shops and every single strip bar here. They don't need bitcoin either. There's also government run casinos where you can walk in, drop $10,000 in cash for chips, make one bet for $1 on a blackjack table and go cash it out, money completely laundered as there's no tax on gambling winnings here.

If you drive across the Mexican border the first thing you see is a bunch of brand new banks all laundering epic cartel profits. Should probably go after them and not bitcoin

Very interesting.  How does the nail/hair salon laundering work?

See Pankkake,

What don't you use your powers for good rather than evil.  You could copy-edit the bitcointalk site instead of adding to the already annoyingly overwhelming collection of worthless troll posts.


I would gladly give you 0.001 BTC for every typo of mine you correct.

You would make a fortune from me alone!
