Cannabis Cup in Denver is the second year for this event and I suspect this year is going to be even better than last year. The key difference is the change in marijuana's legal status across the country and growth of bitcoin since then. Some of you may or may not be aware of the marijuana industry’s banking problems which are similar but different from bitcoin trader’s problems.

I am going to cannabis cup as part of  a long term strategy to establish local trades in key areas(vegas and working on denver now) and maybe some investors. I had planned on making a flyer offering my trading services but I am now opting for a “pay it forward” approach with a “pro bitcoin” flyer that explains the possible ways that both are answers to problems both face right now. My plan is to mostly give this to vendors at Cannabis Cup and the numerous events surrounding it.  

What I am asking for here are some useful verifiable facts that can be used on the flyer plus possible concerns/answers to those concerns they may have. I have hired a graphics guy from this forum to do the work and will hopefully be able to use the responses here to building a nice flyer/info packet and q/a.

This is a BIG money industry and if just one or two decent sized dispensaries to make a move into btc it could snowball and that is good for all of us.

Currently I am buying LTC, NMC, NVC, TRC, and FTC. I can pay with btc or fiat via western union, money gram, prepaid reload, or cash deposits at boa and us bank. I will also offer bank wires soon


I trade a decent amount at lbc as well(just under 150btc total volume, ~400 trades with 230 people and 20 trusts) - https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery

I am also at the the following exchanges and crypto sites:
.
bitcoin-otc: tomfoolery
bitcointalk: merakicoin(trying to get tomfoolery)
litecoinlocal & litecointalk: tomfoolery
doges: tomfoolery

Unless you have stellar feedback here you will have to send first. If you are wanting to trade your altcoin for btc and want an escrow see my lbc altcoin ad. I also have an account at litecoinlocal if you are selling me ltc.

Hi,

I am tomfoolery from lbc, bitcoin-otc,icbit, etc. The user account tomfoolery here never posted and has been inactive since November 30, 2013, 09:32:02 PM. There is a potential for abuse here. Just earlier there was a guy(seemechine) "nick squatting" and trying to scam people using that name on freenode in #bitcoin-otc and #bitcoin.

[04:21] tomfooleryLBC is ~tomfooler@unaffiliated/tomfoolerylbc * Thomas Johnson
[10:36] tomfoolery is ~RibbertJa@50-199-115-173-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net * seemechine
[18:00] tomfoolery is ~Azaye@6532224hfc82.tampabay.res.rr.com * seemechine

I was able to get freenode to release the nick tomfoolery to me and I set enforce on to prevent this again.

If someone were able to get access to that inactive account here they could hit a few people using my name before they were found out.

Is it possible for bitcointalk to release the inactive account to me or change my username? I don't mind going through any reasonable verification steps to prove I am tomfoolery from the accounts above.

In this ad I am asking for two types of loans - Trading capital and more long term business loans. I have been trading mostly at localbitcoins.com(https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery) and in the last 2 months and 3 weeks I have completed ~350 trades with ~200 people and have maintained 100% positive feedback(Confirmed, Unconfrimed) and 19 different people have chosen to trust me.

That word is meraki. This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it.

I have been working 16-18 hours a day 7 days a week and have literally been putting everything I have into establishing a business centered around bitcoin and bitcoin trading.

I have already had several trading capital loans and have paid them(or in the process of paying them back). 3 of these loans have been via my btcjam account. I have no record of the countless 1-7 day loans I have had from various other sources.

I can not say I have been on time with every payment but I have always been reachable and always repaid my debts(plus late fees if applicable). Trading capital loans have a little higher risk(risk of late payment not loss) while I am working with limited capital and that is why I pay higher interest rates for them.

Thus far I have been taking my profits from trading and using that to fund research and development but this approach leaves me spread a little too thin at times(mostly due to limited capital) and really prevents me from getting the most out of trading(compounding interest). I feel this is good overall strategy for explosive growth later on. The research I have been conducting ranges from finding areas with high volume local trades(so I can establish a branch in that city) to possible industries to approach who have issues with traditional banks.

A quote from one of my regular lenders

You’re turning this into a science. I like it.

The business loans I am asking for will go directly towards formalizing the company and development of the company website and will be repaid from the trading profits. I plan to allow users to buy/sell bitcoin directly to/from my company and have a method for lenders to track their loans to/from the company. I plan to nearly mimic many of the features available at btcjam.com. I feel that this strategy has many advantages over using more traditional lending sources.

I am willing to sign(and have notarized) any documents detailing the loan a potential lender would require.

Trading Capital Loans:
(seeking up to 10btc total - I feel my trading more than justifies this)
terms 1 day to 15 days
interest: negotiable

Business Loans:
(seeking 3btc)
terms 30-90 days
interest: negotiable

Any questions, comments, or suggestions are more than welcome.

I do a fair amount of trading at localbitcoins.com. So far in just under 3 months I have had a volume of ~125btc, ~400 transactions with ~200 people(a lot of return business)- https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery

I am also at the the following exchanges and btc sites:
.
bitcoin-otc: tomfoolery(freenode irc username tomfooleryLBC)
bitcointalk: merakicoin

I would like to find a few consistent guys that I can buy from at bitstamp or less on a regular basis. I will pay in cash at the retailer and provide proof of cash tender in the form of a pic with my mobile. Sometimes I may ask if I can send a WU/MG online but I will only do that with your approval. I can also buy via cash deposit at the following banks: BOA, US Bank, Bank Corp South, Co-op CU or any bank found in Springfield MO 65803

I will only send first to highly reputable traders(high volume and good feedback). Otherwise I will need you to send to my LBC address first or use LBC as the escrow. If you wish to use an escrow I have listings up on lbc for every payment method I have listed here - https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/tomfoolery/sell-bitcoins-online/

I have ~5tc to sell and can accept western union, moneygram and most prepaid reload packs. I trade a lot at localbitcoins(https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery) but haven't completed any here.

WU/MG min: $200 max: $1000
prepaid load min: $20 max $500

All payments must be sent first or LBC must be used. All payments must be made in cash and you must provide proof in the form of a mobile picture of the receipt. I will not release the coins without proof of cash payment. I also will not accept scanned images. Mobile pics only.

The terms above are non negotiable.

I have a PM limit due to being a n00b here. Please post here first as to limit the number of PMs I am sending per transaction.

I would like to buy ~2btc. Normally I buy anywhere from 4-10 daily depending on my sell volume.

I am tomfoolery from LBC(https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery) and I would prefer to keep the trades in the LBC escrow system. I have nearly 500 trades there with ~160 different users and 100% positive feedback.

MoneyPak - https://localbitcoins.com/ad/70181/cash-out-your-bitcoins-moneypak
MoneyGram - https://localbitcoins.com/ad/70181/cash-out-your-bitcoins-moneypak

I pay cash at the retailer and will provide pictures of the receipts/cards. For the most part I should have pretty quick response times but I do my buys in batches(when I have $500 or more to buy). If you are only selling 100-200 there may be a little wait.

Prepaid reloadpaks:
$100-$250: 25% above current stamp
$250-$500-22% above current stamp

WU/MG:
$100-$250: 15% above current stamp
$250-$500: 12% above current stamp
$500-$1000: 10% above stamp
max $1k

Only trusted memebers and I require an escrow. LBC works great because I have an account there already and do lots of trades. If no escrow you send first.

I require proof of cash payment with all payments(pic of receipt) and will not allow any exceptions to that rule whatsoever.

If something feels sketch I will not do the trade. Basically I reserve the right to refuse a trade from anyone for any reason.

Post here before pming.

I am a n00b here but I have several trades(well over 100 with 100% feedback) on lbc(localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery) and would like to start establishing my self here as well.

I will be paying in cash at the agent location/retailer and can/will provide proof in the forum of scans or pics receipts

Reload cards:
minimum $100 and I will cover the fee on orders of $250 or more.

WU/MG:
minimum $250, I will cover the fees to philippines, china, india or mexico. otherwise the fees come out of what i send.

I will pay current stamp price
