I'm interested in seeing why it costs so much as well. You really have to be competitive if you want to stand out.

All this is true, but the OP specifically said dot.tk, and I'd be rather surprised to see the registrar itself distributing malware.
Yeah, that's highly unlikely. Yep, that's my point. The OP's company computer was probably running something that works indiscriminately, as I've seen done. That said, WOT does now make the distinction, and dot.tk itself checks out as "Trustworthy." The other possibility is that you are running malware that is hosts-redirecting your attempt to access dot.tk, redirecting to a spoof server that does have malware on it... do you get 77.243.130.175 when you ping dot.tk? The second is what I'd think it is -- if the issue is with visiting dot.tk itself. They used to be a lot worse than they are now; while still used by a lot of scammers/hackers, they're not nearly as bad. I don't think so. It seems to me that it has the same, low scam rate It's possible that the ratio is the same and that it's the fact that there's so many more people using TK's now that it doesn't "feel" the same. Kind of like if there's 1:100 rate of crime, you will feel that there's a lot more criminals when there's 100k people vs 1k, when really it's the same. |

i would expect it to be 1/4 of the value seeig as there is 4x amount of coin
Unfortunately simple math like that does not work. There are 11 million Bitcoins and 10? (20?) trillion US dollars. Therefore one Bitcoin should be worth 1 million US dollars. Simple answer is: The market will decide the value of Feathercoin. All you can do is do your research and choose a coin that you think will make it in the future. imho Feathercoin is on a very good way ... This is true... I guess with that taken into perspective, it's also possible that FTC *will* overvalue LTC at some point. |

Because the concept of an email-able store of value that outperforms gold and has no counter-party risk and is mostly anonymous and the entire history of transactions is public and transparent and storage takes up zero physical space are all... revolutionary? Never been done before? ... NAH, OP is totally right -- completely useless!!!   It's one of the few ways to combat Paypal and Google Wallets too! Both of those are buyer-based and if someone gets mad at you and does a chargeback you not only lose your item and your money, but they will also charge you extra for the chargeback (it's like $30 for Google and 25 for Paypal). Right -- I recently sold some mining hardware to someone overseas, and not being familiar with Paypal's exorbitant fees, kicked myself for not accepting payment in BTC ... especially after the buyer filed a dispute with Paypal trying to say the product didn't meet up to description! Well luckily I won the dispute ... OH and ALSO... it'd be effin HEE-LARIOUS to see someone try to rob someone else of his/her BTC at gunpoint!! Pure frivolousness. You're lucky you won. Someone I know sent a sealed, brand new laptop to someone. They got the package, opened it and then put bricks in it to take pictures as proof that the laptop was never actually sent. |

Thanks Matthew! That's pretty crazy. If you're going to crowd-fund you pretty much have to get an accountant/lawyer involved, o.o. This means you lose a (possibly large) portion of the funds that are raised! BTW, for anyone else who wants a tl;dr, check out this image below. The second column is the one that matters (and first so you know what it's referring to):  |

You can register state-wide, but then you need to get proof from each customer that they don't live outside that state, and risk losing your license, fines and imprisonment if you're caught doing business with any customers outside the states you're licensed in.
That's crazy. They aren't even that strict against casinos. Ex. it's illegal to gamble but you can go to another state to do it, and they even take down all your information and there's nothing done to stop it. It is crazy, it is a scam, it's designed to keep small businesses (who are not so easily influenced by politicians) out of the mix. It's kind of like what is happening in Bitcoin with all these big shouldered businesses, "foundations", and boys clubs. The US government only cares about you if you can make them a profit, and even then only if you're a pushover to their policies. Just look at recently passed crowd funding legislation if you're in the mood to vomit. Happen to have a link to a good article/overview of the crowd-funding legislation? The last thing I heard/read was a few weeks ago and it just dealt with making it illegal to do crowd-funding for equity. |

We are here to stay ... like i was reading on some other post DGC will end up challenging LTC Give us time On that note... does anyone have a listing of DGC faucets? I want to make auto timers/rotators for them (like the BTC and WDC ones). |

I like using mBTC. If 1BTC = $50 then 1 mBTC = nickel, which is the smallest US coin I care to deal with.
.1 mBTC is fine but 100 μBTC is confusing to many because the letter mu isn't something people are use to seeing.
Just using mBTC except for large sums is the simplist solution IMHO. And there's probably rarely a need to sell anything with denominations smaller than 1 mBTC anyway. Maybe if the value skyrockets but then .1 mBTC or .01 mBTC are not confusing.
With BTC and mBTC we cover a complete range from - 0.001 - 999.999 mBTC
- 1 - 21,000,000 BTC

I just wrote to their developer (Tibanne Co., Ltd.), do you think it was a good idea?
The developer of the site? They wouldn't be able to do anything that I know of. Bringing the situation to light is probably the best thing you can do right now. |

Ranlo,
Do you have any suggestions on Trusted, Anonymous Wallets?
Yes, very easy. 1. Get Address and private key from www.bitaddress.org2. Print your keys 3. Send BTC to that address. 4. keep private key away from the computer. EASY! I took his question as meaning an online wallet though, like one where he just logs in and has access to his balance to spend as he wants. |

Good question - for now the only thing we'll be selling via bitcoins are things that we have in our actual possession... We really want to take a bit of the guesswork out of buying used things, we do the research on the prices and try to determine the true market value, then we image it, write the description, etc. The idea being that we're more unbiased in the transaction - sure, we want to sell things, but it's more important to us that people come back and buy from us again and again, so we're more buyer-centric in that regard.
Other people can consign things in to us, but that probably only really makes sense if they're in either Arizona or Nevada, which are the two states we're most active in (where we have trucks and people to go pick up things, etc).
That's one of the reasons why I really want to add Bitcoin support - I think it gives people who consign with us another avenue to sell their items that they typically wouldn't have access to. At the same time, it gives people with Bitcoin a great way to buy a really wide variety of items that aren't as easily purchased without converting into some other currency first.
The type of things we get in really runs the gambit, from tools and generic household stuff, to super high end furniture and art, to professional fitness equipment. Right now we add about 5000 items per week into inventory (~2500 per store), and when I say 5000 items, I mean in most cases 5000 totally unique things, not 2000 tubes of toothpaste that are all the same.
Thanks for the clarification! So this is more of an online store than an online open market. I like the idea,  . Do you guys also have any type of insurance/return policies? |

Thanks for the info! It'd help to have more information on its development as of lately, plans for the near/distant future, etc.

It has been decided that the CoinGator project will be discontinued until further notice.
Did Paypal close your account already? Jesus christ that was fast. No. This is unrelated to PayPal. It was determined that the cost of regulatory compliance would be cost prohibitive. Oh well if that's all you're worried about, use a different country's paypal. That's not the least of the problems though. This decision was based on costs exceeding $250,000 USD to operate legally in the United States. Is there a way to get registered in just one or two states, or is it all or nothing? |

The first thing you do when you install a wallet is:
1. Encrypt it.
2. Back it up.
After that, it is ok to load it with bitcoins.
3. Send tons of BTC to 19HR9WS8hJdhPq1xMScFpnujMoDLqszUA9 |

Ah, we're totally different - we actually have all the items in inventory, we have two physical storefronts that are each about 70,000 sqft... Our current inventory is over 200,000 items, so we're substantially larger than Bitmit as well. Think of a consignment store you might find locally, but on steroids. Mmm, the part that's confusing me a bit is... consignment basically just means you're selling on behalf of someone else. Are the only items you're going to be selling the ones you have in possession (or in your storefronts)? Or allowing others to add items as well? |

Ranlo, Do you have any suggestions on Trusted, Anonymous Wallets? It does suck that I had to be the first to report this but if you look at http://blockchain.info/address/1NRMGqPYXwPoAGHiPAMzBgkqCcmgms3hjH it looks like this guy has been at it for a while. I just wish I could find out who the scammer was...anyway, at least I still have 2.5 BTC left. I was "smart enough"...if that can be said when scammed...not to send but a small amount of my total  The only wallets I use are those that are in my own possession, so sorry, can't really help you there if you want one that's hosted. I'd highly suggest just getting a wallet on your PC. |
