That does look badass...but it has the same (256 bit) level of encryption that this one does...and it costs more (per size). The Kingston is waterproof, too. I admit, this one does have the Kingston in terms of aesthetics, though. |

We should start a bitcoin band. Someone near me on Craigslist is trying to trade a saxophone for bitcoins! lol

Ohhh, you should post that this is a "feeler" post in the title. I'm sure you'll find someone-check BitMit?

Don't you think(everyone who wants to create their own physical bitcoin) other people have tried to make physical coins? Casascius has it down. Period. He was the first and is the best. I'm pretty sure he manufactures his own blank/holos, and he has a detailed explanation of how generates keypairs offline, and in such a manner that its impossible for him to know a single key.
Do ANY of you have these capabilities or know what they entail?
I would be very surprised if ANY other physical bitcoin became popular-it'd have to be VERY special to compete with the original Casascius coin.
Anyone can say they want to create their own physical coin, or physical anything. All you need is to generate a keypair and turn it into a barcode-my grandma could do it.
To even get started, you'd have to find a LEGIT (tough in China!) vendor on ec21.com or something who makes custom rounds out of x material. You would also need to find someone to order custom holograms. And these things come with a minimal order that is NOT so minimal. So if you flop, you flop hard. There are the logistics of getting the actual physical materials you need, now you need to figure out how to generate keypairs without POSSIBLY seeing them (no one will trust you otherwise).
Not to sound like a dick, but I laugh whenever I see a post like this. Everyone LOVES to think they've come up with the "best new thing". But the thing is-[almost] no one even comes close.

Hey, legendster-did you think no one would notice this or something? What you said was if anyone could find the pictures you posted anywhere else online that you would leave this forum forever. Ummm....did I not do that? Get out of here lol, its that simple. I'll talk to you in a month when you have a new username and are trying to pull-off your next scam. Until then, later BRO. Well played, but try & be serious about this stuff. I m not going to waste my time on false accusations. When I type something here it is precisely because I want it to be read here. The Challenge still stands. Find the pictures I posted here on any website or on any page of google image search and I will concede defeat and ask the mod to lock or remove this thread completely .. hell I ll even leave this forum forever. But that doesnt mean that you will find pictures that are clearly posted AFTER my source image is posted. So until You can prove it, I m here to stay. Every dog has his day. You are having yours so enjoy while it lasts. You are the epitome of an idiot. I did exactly what you said was required for you to leave the forum forever. You posted images as if you took them, and I found them on a Dubai dealership's website. Were those not the terms of your challenge? You posted them in bold in enlarged text enough times for everyone and their mother to memorize them. If you want to stay, I guess thats fine. You truly are a great source of amusement. I have to ask-what do YOU think you're doing on here? Are you happy to provide everyone with some lulz or do you still have the CRAZY misconception that an idiot even bigger than you would give you .001 bitcoins? |

Why do they call him ironcross360? Because when you read any of his threads, you turn 360 degrees and walk away.

Hey everybody, I'll keep this short. I want BRAND new one (as in not opened!) of these: http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/encrypted_security#dtvpI am comfortable with the encryption and don't want to pay more, even though I know Kingston makes superior usb drives. I know people peddle USB drives like crazy (although thats kind of sketchy)-but anyway, I know people can get these at a discount, on sale, etc. I won't say what I'm willing to pay, please just PM me your best offer!Thanks! |

I'm not too upset. I made a bunch of money (mark-up was ridiculous, and no one had a problem paying it). I'm still waiting on PayPal to answer my "currency-exchange" question. And my solution: continue to sell on eBay, but accept credit cards directly, bypassing PayPal completely  |

*I safely used this method (which I even posted as a way to sell bitcoins on ebay safely-don't worry, I have edited) for COUNTLESS bitcoin transactions on ebay, not a problem once.*
I wanted to write up this guide, but wasn't sure where to put it. I decided here since it offers instruction, and I know not just newbie members check this board.
Anyways, I want to share with you a completely safe way to sell bitcoins on eBay. eBay and PayPal are covered in an aura of taboo in the bitcoin world. That's because-obviously-scammers use those methods to steal from you. And, both PayPal and eBay like the customer, so if you sell bitcoins for PayPal, you get back a nice fat chargeback.
The problem with selling bitcoins on eBay or for PayPal, by strictly sending them electronically is that there is no physical aspect involved. THAT is why PayPal sides with the buyer-they aren't used to selling digital goods, just tangible things. If you sell Bitcoins for PayPal, on eBay or elsewhere, you thus have to have something tangible involved-and if it has tracking, its virtually impossible to get a chargeback.
I have sold a lot of bitcoins on eBay. This is the way I do it: I simply print out a bitcoin bill (go to bitaddress.org, hit "bulk wallet" and under "generate", put the number of keypairs you would like made. 1 bitcoin bill=1 keypair. Then, go to printcoins.com, hit "print your own" and fill in the initial fields with whatever you want-they're just for fun-I put "Bank of Johnniewalker". In the big dialog box, copy and paste the entire keypair from bitaddress.org. Pick a design, then hit "Generate PDF of bills". If you have thicker paper, customers would be more impressed, but if not don't worry, just print the bill.)
NOW you have something tangible. If you sell through eBay, you can mail w/tracking for $1.69.
You tell the customer that once the bill is made, you destroy all data pertaining to it (and you do-don't be a scammer). Thus, once they receive the bitcoin bill (still it has 0 balance) they need to send you a message with the public address of the bill. Once they give it to you, send the funds to the address, go to blockchain.info, enter the public address, and take a screenshot for confirmation of funds sent.
.....aaaaaaand you're done!
After more than 50 (I counted) transactions involving bitcoins, PayPal has restricted my account, saying that their services cannot be used for currency exchange, check cashing, bitcoins and EVEN Bitcoin COLLECTIBLES (like a redeemed Casascius coin). I am fighting this because, for one thing, the restriction on collectibles is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Also, they say they do not allow their services to be used as currency exchanges. Well, all US currency ever produced is STILL legal tender (as is the case with other countries' currency, too). You know how many listings there are for say, Silver Eagles? With a LEGAL TENDER amount of $1? I could buy that with Euros if I wanted to. If thats not a currency exchange, what is it?

This is a 1 Bitcoin 2011 Casascius coin funded on September 19th, 2011. ANACS graded it at MS64. Selling for 7 BTC or best offer. More pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/v4X0r Thats awesome that ANACs grades them |

My opinion is that he might have something legitimate, convoluted but legitimate nevertheless.
But he is so unprofessional and immature that the probable end result in any transaction with him will be very similar to being scammed.
I can imagine all types of stupid noob mistakes, negligence and miscommunication between the customer, the actual broker, the seller and this legendary clown.
Some kids should grow some facial hair before even attempting to deal in the business world.
My opinion is that it was 100% a scam. He posted pictures that were not his, he lied, etc. And the best evidence I have is that [surprisingly] he made good on his promise to leave the forum forever after I exposed him yesterday. |

I am having a problem with my bank account ("fraudulent activity"). There's something for $5.80 I want to order on eBay but can't. I assure you it's not an item that's anything I wouldn't publicly buy (it's not a dildo or anything, I swear lol). But, if you buy it and have it shipped to me, I will pay you .051 BTC ($5.80 is TOTAL price, so you make a small profit). I will pay you as soon as you send me a screenshot as confirmation of the order. Please PM if interested. Thanks!

I have a domain, a basic site, and other things in the works for the projects I'm working on. I believe that if executed properly, the site would be very lucrative. I'm looking for a partner with some good site developing skills. I would basically take care of the rest. I would be happy w/a 60% (me), 40% split-since this project would only require your time. If you're interested, please send me a PM. I'd like to see some sites you;ve done in the past, consider that your "resume" lol. *I don't want to be a dick but I will only reply to the person I feel best fits what I'm looking for; I don't want to reveal details of the site to everybody. Thank you for understanding.*
