I saw you mentioned you were using CoinURL. What is your experience with them? I just went to cash out, and instead of paying, they shut my account down and kept several months worth of advertising revenues. Total scam.   

SCAM. I ran their ads for several months, and when I asked for a payout, they banned my account even though I had done nothing in violation of their Terms of Service.

If you want to know the honest truth, I'm shadow banned from Hashtalk, by Josh himself.

Sorry to disappoint you...

And you say I'm illiterate? 

You mean like Rush Limbaugh who hires a $900/hr. social media consultant to do his battles for him?

Let's stick to facts. I have a lot of questions about all of this, too, but please add useful information to the discussion.

I know a lot about how the legal system works, and If Garza wanted to pursue you for civil harassment, he'd have no problem making your life miserable. Saying this kind of stuff online is not a good idea.

As for me, I don't come to this thread for fantasy, I come to it for information. There's a place for fantasy, and it's in your own bedroom. Not interested. I'm here for productive discussion. So please, I beg, keep on topic.

Someone posted this bitcoin address as being released from GAW as proof of... I'm not sure what?

I took a look at the address and can confirm it is a customer deposit address.

29K bitcoins moved through it. $11 million USD?

My account on Peerbet is Kaiwahine. Thanks so much!

Just signed up for Bit777. Username on both Bit777 and Peerbet is kaiwahine.

What is going on with Vircurex? Down again? 

Saw the announcement that AurumXchange is discontinuing VouchX, but cannot find anything about this on the Aurum website. Curious about this?

I have a bag of money that came pre-shredded from the US Treasury. After weeks of trying to tape it all together, I haven't gotten anywhere... I thought maybe someone else would like to try.

Thanks for an excellent perspective on all of this. In the US, credit transactions are routinely around 2%, and if you want to send money instantly, you pay a HUGE markup as an individual (wire services). The banks have a totally different system of course, but it isn't anywhere near instant. The only other option to send money easily is MoneyPak, but that costs $4.95 USD to send anything up to $500 USD.

Thank you so much for that explanation. 

I've received Bitcoins to my Bitcoin-Qt client, but have not sent any yet. I saw the discussion about changes to the Bitcoin-Qt client to add fees, and I was wondering if I still need to add an extra fee to the transaction for it to be accepted by the network?

No wadded paper balls. However you can have your pick between a bag of shredded US currency or one red paperclip. What say you?

"Our primary payment service providers have been actively and illegally ripping us off for years now."

Yes, and until they can find a way to get a similar business going with Bitcoin, they'll continue to fight.

I'll sell you 10 BBQ Nyan Cats, per BQC! Limited supplies! Act fast!

D'oh! I'm such a n00b.

Woke up this morning to see CNC trading on Vircurex. So now there's another exchange aside from Bter listing CHNCoin.
