Yeah, escrow. Not trying to buy a car, just LiFePO4 batteries and other parts for electric conversions. Why would guns be hard? I buy them every day with cash, so, uh, why not BTC, too? Besides, making guns is pretty easy... If your country is industrialized enough to support any form of welfare, it is far more than advanced enough for people to make guns in their bedroom... Anyways, don't need that political tangent. Thanks for the link! You are welcome, and good luck

I couldn't find it, maybe I'm searching with wrong words... But somebody out there has to offer the service of buying stuff in exchange for BTC. There's got to be some trusted members of the community doing this, I just can't imagine such a vacuum going unfilled.
I've got some stuff I want to to buy, but there is no source that accepts BTC which sells said products.
Most specifically, LiFePO4 cells, but, some other things now and again. Mostly relating to guns, off-grid, and electric cars.
My first project is an electric car/truck. I'm willing to bet that I can save more money on not buying gas than I would make on holding the BTC. And even if I'm wrong, freedom from the gas gangsters is priceless. Tesla, you say? Way too Big Brother for me. Building my own.
Not in a major rush... Looking for the right people first.
You can find people selling goods for bitcoin here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0But, it would be hard to find cars and guns IMO. Just a friendly reminder, use escrow whenever possible

why would people buy 20 % of you since the price already lower than other 20% more ?
It is basically a gamble on whether btc withdrawal on mtgox will resume. You pay 8btc to buy a "10btc balance" on mtgox. If you eventually can get that 10btc out of mtgox, you win 2btc.... But IF you cant ;-\ and so it is a gamble As you can see here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455243.0;all), quite some people are interested to place their bets

I changed my signature as well, but it still isn't showing - not sure what the rules are around here as i only visited a couple of times in 2011 for mining configs. Either way, thanks for being helpful!
You need to have 10 posts, in order to put links in your sig. As I can see, your signature looks perfect now.

The core devs can make changes to the code (ban micropayment, lower tx fee, etc), and publish a new version of bitcoin-qt / bitcoind, but it is up to the users to adopt it.
The mining pools can change the policy on how they include tx into a block (no free tx, larger block size, etc), but it is up to the users (people with mining hardware / hashrate) to leave or join the pools.

How does peerbet operate with 0% edge ?
Peerbet: 0% My bad, I sure make it more clearly. The original peerbet has only 1 game (raffles), and it is 0% edge. Later on, the site owner sold the site to bit777, and more games (with edge) were added on it. Play Raffles, Wheel and Dice! 0% House edge on Raffles, 0.3% on PeerDice, 1% on Dice and 3.2% on Wheel!

Sorry guys, my bad. Gmail was marking emails from this site as spam... It seems I've been getting the notifications all along.
Thanks!

My account is still classed as newbie but I don't seem to have the newbie restrictions anymore, at least not the full 360 seconds.
They changed the membergroups a few weeks ago. The time limits go down the more activity you get. More precisely, the time limits are set with the following formula. What are the time limits on posting and the levels?? I know 360 seconds are for new people like me, but was wondering if there was break down somewhere on this.
waittime = 360; if(activity >= 15) waittime = (int)(90 - activity); if(activity >= 60) waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity)); if(activity >= 100) waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

i just got the transaction ID from the platform admin, a76987a95f45f9f3bdc1f7c56b7ec39fc9444e1579a4861fe5cc97113b9d88e5
i have just sent another 1.05btc... from the same platform of mine.. and it already sent and got 3 confirmed.. been dealing with this platform for more than 100btc.. i doubt so they will scam me for that ...
I don't know if that platform scammed you or whatever. But definitely, the first payment is still not yet sent for like 2 days.
