Quite honestly, I don't gamble.  So, I don't know how the wallet structures work on any gambling site and/or how those addresses are leaked to any wallet explorer site.

Since coinbase is tied to the banking industry and to California, they have to follow guidelines for USA.  Gambling isn't legal and US Gov is 'against' online gambling.  So, that is, at least, understandable (not that I agree with it since it's ok to gamble in Nevada (and other areas)).   What isn't understandable is tracing coins to a gambling site and ban members for whom any of those coins went through.   Akin to banning every member that has any drug residue on US Currency in their wallet knowing that 90% of all USD is tainted.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/14/cocaine.traces.money/    So, I submit that coinbase should simply automatically ban 90% of it's accounts or realize that I don't have control of the actual coins I receive (spammers from gambling sites send tiny fragments to many people as adversing) and the end point to where go when I spend them.

Yes, I know for fact that coinbase is closing accounts.   Mine was closed, and I couldn't figure out why (at first) other than my OTC ratings and Localbitcoin.com account (both of which haven't been used in a very long time (before I established a coinbase account)).

First, they asked questions on where I get my coins, etc.  I gave a detailed account.  (Mostly mining via BFL (hosted), cloudhashing, and at home (even with receipts, hosting fees, and pictures of the gear creating mass heat in my house)).

Then, they said I was an MSB and wanted me to register as such.  Talking to an accountant, he said I am not an MSB being that I (at the time I was mining, selling odds and ends on craigslist for BTC (when possible), and buying locally.  Rarely ever do I sell any coins.

Being that I declined to register as an MSB, I was prompty terminated from the program.  Fortunately, I was able to withdraw the coins I purchased from them (although they didn't have a choice since they pulled the funds from my bank account) and I still have those specific coins.

With my account/wallet, I have only purchased things like:  overstock.com, plane ticket, gold/silver (providentmetals and apmex), newegg, Casascius and Titan Mint coins, software (slysoft), a lock, trezors, movie, and a painting (bitcointalk).  Nothing that could remotely be considered bad.  I even gave detailed transaction numbers and details.

All the above said, I was later shown a wallet explorer / tracking info regarding my wallet coins (not by coinbase).  And, we think we figured out the reason.

It turns out I made several loans to a person that is/was fairly well known.  (Saving secured loans whereas I got his Casascius coins as collateral each time - and still have them (since graded and added to the collection)).
He disappeared and after waiting over a month past the default period, I considered all the coins mine.  He has since never shown up or contacted me.

The reason I bring this up is because as he was sending me the physical coins and I would send him the additional BTC each time, it turns out the addresses he had me send to are listed as Silk Road, evolution, Gambling, and Mixers.  (Addresses were labeled as such by the tracker, but I don't know by whom or even if correct info.)  Obviously there is no way for me to have known I was loaning coins to an address that was and/or later determined to be anything illegal in any way.

Although the government and authorities, etc can see I have never gambled, bought drugs, or even had an account with any such site (although possibly the reason the guy disappeared/defaulted), coinbase can't see that or doesn't care to look into it.

I tried to explain this to coinbase and to have them research it more; however, they were only interested in talking to my MSB Compliance Officer, of which I obviously don't have one.

Short answer to the question.  Yes, I have had a coinbase account closed and without clear definition as to why.

Just to keep track of the thread, I had to say something (instead of clicking WATCH).

Not selling to the USA probably isn't simply a personal decision, but more likely a legal issue.

BTCC isn't charging a VAT.  It's the country receiving the package that is charging it. (Import fee).

I feel he (Bobby) has been good in answering.  Actually, beyond what I would have expected.  Especially as most companies simply employ someone to go through PR routines and canned responses.

On the fourth point.  Didn't he say only some orders went out showing full value, and the rest caught before shipping and offered at least one solution?

Anyway, on another note:
I know of a large order placed on 5/31, shipped on 6/1, and received in Canada on 6/2.
VAT for this order was under $100 USD

3x face would be nice; however, it will not work with the larger denom coins.

So, I offer 15BTC as a starting bid/negotiations for the 10 Silver w/ Gold B

I like that idea. 

Looks like it is over.

heh

It's legit.  minerjones is trusted, but you should check for yourself.

Those were the redeemed bars (not unfunded).  Sorry, just wanted to be clear on the subject.   Diff than what OP is asking about - which is a bearer bar.

I am debating on how to go about getting these Titanium coins myself.
prerelease coins at 1.1   Does this mean the price goes up after 5/30?


I would hate to receive an overfunded coin.  HEH

I am sorry to hear it.

Value....
Most people buy this stuff in BTC instead of dollar.

I have a couple of these (or more) and I paid from .85BTC to 1.2BTC each
Bitcoin value during my purchases were higher than now.  Maybe $550.  I didn't go by the dollar amount since, again, most go by the BTC amount when purchasing these.

That said, many were sold on ebay.  Many posted for around $1000, but I never saw any sell.   Sold on ebay (that I saw) ranged up to $800.

So, your paid price is probably correct if you take off one of the trailing zeros.

I would be interested in getting the bar, but only at about 1.9BTC (that includes the loaded coin to it).

Although I would love to bid, I can't find myself jumping in.

First, I like to snipe auctions, so I would wait for the last seconds.  I still might since nothing says anything about time being extended.

The only issue I now see is the end time.
Title says "10PM PST / 7PM EST - one day!"

Just so we're clear, let's fix the end time.....
7PM EST = 4 PM PST
or
10PM PST = 1AM EST

I believe you mean....
10PM EST / 7PM PST

When is the platinum coin coming out?  wink

Ok, I would take 10 of them in box.  Darn, not shipping to the US? 

Haven't decided if I want one or several of these coins yet.
Like the idea of a new metal and the idea of newly gen coins.

I am on the wall, actually against the idea, of unfunded / DIY coins.

The issue I see is that new people involved in bitcoin have to understand at least something about bitcoin in order to check the coin.  It scares people away when stories get out that they have to worry if the coin may or may not actually contain any bitcoins.  The beginning days of Casascius was great.  If someone gave you a coin, then you were good to go - you didn't need to go to some website and check a partial address to see if there was any value in the coin or not.  Even the bearer bars were fine.  Fortunately there was a low mintage of 100BTC bars that were actually unfunded (had a red mark in the window).

Personal thought... I think all should be either funded or not.

If funded, you could simply peel it and put your own label on it. 
I would be ok with the idea of selling them unfunded as in NO sticker/address at all. 

I think we are in agreement on that. 

And, who knows, it could very well be him all along.  Meh.  I'm done with it.   Would like to get the 10BTC silver w/ Gold coin though.  (unsub)

I see it differently.

theymos did not say the use of the account was from or from not an IP.  You can't interpret anything other than the fact he said the password was changed from the same IP on a prior password change.  There was never a claim that the hacker changed the password.  The claim was that the hacker was using the account at the same time as him and theymos didn't even touch on the subject of login IP's.  In the idea of the session id being use, theymos also didn't touch on the subject of IPs used for posts or PMs or even is the site tracks this information.

At this point, we can only confirm that the site tracks IPs of password changes based on what he said.

I am not saying bitmarket did or didn't do this.  I am only saying that the Theymos response leaves much of this open.

I have intimate knowledge of someone you can get one from.  Oh, wait, you can close the thread. 

I agree with everything you said.

It is obvious the site tracks IP use as has been shown many times in the past.  It could have been easily shown that the account was being used by two ips at the same time, but instead only shown that the password was changed which everyone already knew by the screen shot of whosonline.  Theymos clearly has more information than what he indicated; however, in his defense, I don't recall anyone asking for it either.

Did you read something into Theymos's statement that no one else can see.
He simply said the password was changed from the same IP the password was change from last year.

He did NOT say that account was or wasn't logged into from another IP address.
He did NOT say that several attempts were made on the account or not.
And, that's also not to say that malware / JRAT wasn't installed on his machine although less likely since he was, what appears to be, on at the same time as the 'hacker'.

It would have been in bitmarket.io's benefit had theymos said the account was logged into via diff browser sessions and/or types and/or IPs.

The only thing the statement (from theymos) confirms is that the password was changed once (after the loan(s)) since last year.

That said, I think bitmarket should have paid off the stupid $150 just to save face to blow the issue away (his fault or not).

So, I can't request #11 and other various numbers?
