Surprise, congratulations huh!

They are still legitimate.

Back off dank, I need to get me my viagra! 

What the heck, I'll do this. What I wanted to buy doesn't have any incredibly interesting back story though. Guess I could make something up for entertainment purposes, or pretend I bought something I already own ... like a bottle of Cell Tech maybe? Btw, did you borrow the 5BTC's in your other thread just to turn around and loan them out? Lol.

Address in sig, thanks.

Time to start mowing lawns little man!

One suggestion: If you are going to follow through with a BTC lottery site, try to find something that you can implement which is unique and appealing to non-BTC users. It makes much more sense to have a target range of anyone interested in online lotteries than BTC users that are interested in online lotteries. It can also increase the interest in BTC in general. You will have to think everything through and plan it all out before making it operational though. The lottery sounds cool and using actual lottery numbers is a great idea. Think about other things you could implement in the website too, other than just the lottery. Personally, I would love a BTC sportsbook that is effectively set up. This is something you have to make sure you are opened to a wide audience for though because if you just open up for me, well you'll be losing money

Restrictions should be set up by section. Personally, I think that it is better that a community has higher requirements to partake in the marketplace section of their forum. I like to look through the previous posts of anyone I am doing business with to get a feel of them and determine how comfortable I am with transacting with them. It is annoying that you would have to post just to have that right and I know many people are not active forum members but would be beneficial to have in the marketplace, but it is still beneficial to filter out many unwanted individuals. I like the time requirement though, it also helps people (like me, I guess) make sure they spend time fully reading up on BTC and learning as much as possible before they get involved in the discussions.

In regards to the P2P exchanges (buying/selling coins, goods, services, etc) ... I find that this market has many similarities to the e-Gold market in my eyes. Exchanging with e-Gold was a hassle a lot of the time due to the fact that scammers can take your money, not get charged back, and remain anonymous. There are some serious issues, but the anonimity has many benefits as well. It is worth it in the end, and if you know how to protect yourself when dealing with others, I doubt you have to seriously worry about losing anything to scammer. A lot of the time it is the ones that don't take the necessary precautions to make sure an exchange is done in the safest manner possible, and with the most trusted individuals only.

It seems like we're entering a great period for buying. I am seriously thinking about making a large investment in the next week or so if it continues to drop a bit more. I'd love to get in at $3-4, don't want to put it off and miss out though. Might buy a bit today. Good idea?

Hello, my name is Keith. I have been reading up on BTC for a few months now but have slacked off on getting involved and investing. Might as well just jump in though, I see great things for BTC in the long-term and it seems like we're nearing a great buy (or rebuy) period!

See you all around the forum,
Keith
