1  Economy / Reputation / A Response to Illiterate and False Accusations (RIFA) on: July 20, 2019, 12:48:29 AM
If you are reading this you may or may not know that we are fairly new here at bitcointalk. We are also a fairly new Bitcoin Auction site. In addition to working on redesigning our website, which at this point is functional, but admittedly somewhat sophomoric, we are trying to increase our membership through free offers and giveaways, etc. Amazingly, but somewhat understandable, we constantly find ourselves accused of underhandedness. For God's sake you can't give Bitcoin away it seems without being accused of long-con plans or dastardly schemes or whatever. It gets really old and is really pretty infantile.

Anyway, we currently have a standing offer to pay someone .02 BTC if they will simply purchase a VIP membership with us which costs .01 BTC. This results in a net .01 BTC for the taker. For some that either don't have the ability to, or just won't take the time to, read, this is apparently akin to some sort of conspiratorial rocket science, but for us it seems fairly simple: you trust us in buying a VIP membership which will temporarily set you back .01 BTC, and we will then send you .02 BTC, again a net to you of .01 BTC. Does that seem like some long thought out scheme? If we were asking for 1, 10 or 100 BTC, I could understand the skepticism and super-paranoia, but goddammit it's .01 BTC LOL!  Grin

To those false accusers, we have pity on your suspicious and probably guilt-ridden souls, for only a man or woman capable of such low-level schemes would suspect others of the same.

The following meme is dedicated to you pathetic and petty individuals:



Next is an image that explains our memberships for those of you that might be interested:



At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?


2  Bitcoin / Project Development / Peer to Peer Bitcoin Auction Site - itcoinBay.com (Special Offer for 1st taker) on: July 19, 2019, 09:22:19 PM
Since we had no takers recently on our Special Offer we will make it again. We would like to not only offer a free VIP membership, but we will up the offer. However, for you to take advantage of this offer will involve some trust. We know... Is there anybody in the crypto world that can actually be trusted? We can speak only for ourselves, but concerning ourselves we can boldly say that "yes, you can trust us." Take us up on this offer and you will find yourself .01 BTC richer. The trust part comes into play as you first have to purchase a VIP membership in our store here: https://itcoinbay.com/storefront/. The cost to you will be .01 BTC, but when you check out simply list "free VIP Plus" (don't worry, no tricks, not case-sensitive or anything) as your Referrer and we will immediately send you .02 BTC, which, of course, results in a .01 BTC net gain for you.

We made a similar offer a week or so ago and after much gnashing of teeth and insulting accusations we decided to send the .02 BTC up front and then let the winner pay the .01 BTC. We're happy to say that it all worked out and one of the local moderators--malevolent--took advantage of the offer and gained himself .01 BTC. Of course then one of the accusers, a resident know-it-all, figured out our dastardly plan of working the long-con. DAMMIT, some of the members here are just way too sharp to pull anything over on.  Roll Eyes

Okay so to recap, not only will you earn .01 BTC for nothing more than a little trust and even less time, but in addition to being able to use our site to Buy|Sell with bitcoin and possibly earn through our Referral Program, you will be entered into our VIP Member Drawing where you will have a 1 in 10 chance at even further winnings, the details of which can be seen here:

.

Once this VIP membership is taken we will not be giving anymore of them away. If someone takes us up on this we will immediately post the update here. If it happens that someone is beaten to the punch before we are able to update the post and does not wish to purchase the membership at face value, we will happily return your bitcoin. We will even tack on the fee if needed to make you happy.

To take advantage of this offer go to our site and register and then go to the Store and make your purchase--and don't forget the Referral code.


*** Note: Offer not valid for existing VIP members.

At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?
3  Economy / Goods / Not just free VIP Membership @ itcoinBay.com today, but we pay you .01 BTC! on: July 16, 2019, 06:10:28 PM
BTC is down today, but our deals are up. We refer you to an offer we made on another post earlier today here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164874.0

As mentioned, this is the last free (again, not just free...) VIP membership we will offer.

We are making a push to attract new members and auctions and hope to have a redesigned site completed within 4 to 6 weeks. While we have recently adjusted our membership policy to now include free members, we have retained our paid memberships and rebranded them as VIP memberships.

The VIP membership grants a user more privileges sooner as well as enters the user into our Giveaway which will occur when we reach 100 VIP members.
4  Economy / Goods / Swiss Watch Bitcoin Auction at itcoinBay.com on: July 13, 2019, 03:09:00 PM
Due to the recent upturn in Bitcoin's price, this isn't as good a deal as it was, but it's still a pretty good deal. And there's always the Best Offer option, plus FREE SHIPPING on this item.

Check it out here: https://itcoinbay.com/ultimate-auction/used-watch-item-ws1001/

We have a few dozen other auctions that may interest you as well and why not list your own and 'turn your stuff into some bitcoin.'

We now have free memberships, just register and you're a member. We also offer VIP memberships if you're interested in greater flexibility and or our VIP Drawing--drawing will occur when we reach 100 VIP members.

At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?
5  Economy / Goods / Sell With Us 4 Free - Adjusted Policy at itcoinBay.com 'The Bitcoin Marketplace' on: July 12, 2019, 05:11:04 PM
In an effort to expand our community, we have revamped our site policy to now include free members. While there will be some restrictions for non-paying participants, we will retain VIP memberships for those that are willing to pay the modest fee in exchange for more flexibility and extra benefits as reflected in the chart that you can see here: https://itcoinbay.com/membership/.

Our policy concerning listing fees has not changed. As always, both free and VIP members will never pay to list an item at itcoinBay.com.

While our VIP members enjoy an instant “trusted status,” our free members must earn this privilege and can do so only by participating in three or more successful auctions, whether as Buyer or Seller. Whether this status requires three or more successful auctions will be determined at our discretion considering how smoothly the transactions were or were not completed.

ESCROW SERVICES ALSO VERY ACCORDING TO MEMBERSHIP @ ITCOINBAY.COM:

Once we receive payment from a Buyer for an auction listed by a VIP member, we will immediately send the Seller any shipping costs paid by the Buyer plus 10% of the sale price, or .01 BTC, whichever is less. The remainder will be sent to the Seller within the allotted 3 day period as per our Site Rules.

The difference for free members is that we will send no money until the 3 day period has ended.

We are overhauling our website and hope to have it finished within 4 to 6 weeks. We ask that you please bear with us in the meantime. While the site is functional, the comment has been made here that Romanian whorehouses have better websites, so we decided to take the initiative and revise our site policy and revamp our website.

"BTCe your own BTCank" and it's GAME OVER for the status quo.

6  Economy / Services / One free Seller Membership remaining at itcoinBay.com on: July 08, 2019, 02:43:02 PM
Over the weekend we not only gave away a free membership, but we also paid the taker .01 BTC. Now we have one more free membership available, but sorry no bitcoin giveaway with this one. For details you can check the original post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162029.msg51743046#msg51743046

However, a Seller membership with us automatically enters you into our New Member Contest (Drawing), which gives you a 1 in 100 chance at winning a DJI Phantom 4+ Pro Quadcopter or .1 BTC. There are 10 prizes in all which gives everyone a 1 in 10 chance at winning--the Consolation Prizes are hardware wallets.

Primarily what a Seller membership gives you is a platform for Buying|Selling with Bitcoin in a Peer to Peer setting.

"Since we at itcoinBay.com do not attach ourselves nor our members to fiat currencies, bank accounts or credit cards, we have developed a fee-based system for the purpose of accountability since bitcoin transactions are irreversible. It would be great to be able to just trust everyone, but until society evolves to that point, for the protection of all participants we will practice the Russian policy of 'trust but verify,' by charging a modest fee for participation. In the age of $1000 cell phones, $5+ coffee and Washington, D.C., we don’t feel at all apprehensive about this fee."

"At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?"


Being a Seller (or Buyer) with us also allows you to earn with our Referral Program as well--we pay .001 BTC for each new (paying) Seller you send us, which allows you to recoup/partially recoup your initial fee or could put you in the black if you took advantage of one of our Special Offers.

Please join us and together let's build 'The Bitcoin Marketplace.' We need members and auctions.

At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?
7  Economy / Services / For your practical side and the gambler in you - itcoinBay.com on: July 07, 2019, 04:14:22 PM
Yesterday we not only gave away a membership, but paid the taker .01 BTC. Not a lot of bitcoin, but neither is our Seller fee and that is the point.

Today we will give the last free membership away, but you missed out on the .01 BTC unfortunately. However, with our New Member Contest (Drawing), all new Sellers earn a 1 in 100 chance at winning a DJI Phantom 4+ Pro Quadcopter or .1 BTC. Those are the first two prizes but there are 10 prizes in all which give a new Seller a 1 in 10 chance at winning--our Consolation Prizes are hardware wallets, your choice of a Trezor or Keepkey.

Let me repeat, for no out of pocket cost to you, you could win a DJI Phantom 4+ Pro Quadcopter or .1 BTC.

New Sellers will be entered into the Contest automatically, but for your practical side we offer a platform for earning bitcoin in a Peer to Peer setting--no special wallets, installs, etc. We also offer a chance to earn .001 BTC for each new (paying) Seller sent our way.

The finer details are included in a previous post made in the forum here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162029.0

First come first served for the free Seller membership.

At the moment, Bitcoin is the equivalent of 8.12 ounces of Gold. How many dollars is that? Who cares.



9  Economy / Services / No Listing Fees Ever at itcoinBay.com - Buy|Sell with Bitcoin on: July 05, 2019, 02:04:24 PM
Did we mention no listing fees ever?

One problem with a bitcoin auction is the would-be minutiae and the associated fees which would be fractions of a fraction. So we decided to simply eliminate that issue and our .01 BTC Seller fee allows us to do this. At the same time, this fee serves as the root of our internal escrow system and it also serves as our 'entrance exam.'

It should go without saying, but if one gives it some thought, both the escrow system and the 'entrance exam' are mandatory for a Bitcoin auction site--the 'entrance exam' by the way has proven too difficult for several would-be Sellers thus far. One potential Seller asked us "where do I pay?" Roll Eyes We take 2.9% for auctions that sell, but this may be negotiable for high-priced items.

"Since we at itcoinBay.com do not attach ourselves nor our members to fiat currencies, bank accounts or credit cards, we have developed a fee-based system for the purpose of accountability since bitcoin transactions are irreversible. It would be great to be able to just trust everyone, but until society evolves to that point, for the protection of all participants we will practice the Russian policy of 'trust but verify,' by charging a modest fee for participation. In the age of $1000 cell phones, $5+ coffee and Washington, D.C., we don’t feel at all apprehensive about this fee."

"At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?"


As a thank you to our Sellers, we offer a one in ten chance at winning the equivalent of the fee back, and possibly much more as our Grand Prize is a DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Quadcopter and 2nd Place is .1 BTC.

Additionally, a member can earn with our Referral Program: we pay .001 BTC for each new Seller one sends our way.

And remember--NO LISTING FEES EVER!

Let us be clear, no false profits are promised at itcoinBay.com. You are either with us, or you are with the banksters.

Gentlemen. You can't fiat in here. This is 'The Bitcoin Marketplace!'
10  Economy / Services / And many (promises of) false profits shall arise, and shall deceive many. on: July 03, 2019, 06:30:58 PM
'And that no man might buy or sell at itcoinBay.com, save he that has a Bitcoin wallet, or a Bitcoin receive address, or a Bitcoin QR code.' Sorry, no funny 'money' allowed.

Does anyone want to actually use cryptocurrency and Bitcoin? Or is everyone only looking for a get rich quick scheme and content with the world of fiat? There are so many sharks swimming around in the crypto waters looking for fresh meat to devour. Maybe people have grown so accustomed to being scammed--it's everywhere: fake money, fake news, fake food...--that they enjoy it at this point? Perhaps it's a sort of Stockholm Syndrome? I'm pretty sure it's impossible to send someone .05 BTC and receive .5 BTC in 24 hours. Yet this sort of offer is mostly what seems to populate most crypto 'communities' or social media arenas.

We are offering a 1 in 10 chance to win a prize for the first 100 Sellers that join our site, but that chance costs .01 BTC. This fee serves two purposes, first off it serves as an internal escrow and secondly it serves as an entrance exam of sorts so as to verify the user knows how to use, and has, Bitcoin. Maybe our New Member Contest (Drawing) will serve to slightly quench the thirst of the people that need the adrenaline rush of a get rich quick proposition? The Grand Prize is a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. 2nd Place also isn't too shabby--.1 BTC.

Primarily we offer a venue for buying and selling items and services with Bitcoin. We also pay .001 BTC for each Referral a member sends us. Let us be clear, no false profits are promised at itcoinBay.com. You are either with us, or you are with the (financial) terrorists--the so-called FED.

Gentlemen. You can't fiat in here. This is 'The Bitcoin Marketplace!'

Buy|Sell Online with BTC for a Modest Fee (we call it BITREFTM).

What is BITREFTM? It is our internal escrow system as well as an entrance exam.

BITREFTM, our escrow system, serves to protect all parties of a transaction at itcoinBay.com, without involving any third parties. And since we at itcoinBay.com do not attach ourselves nor our members to fiat currencies, bank accounts or credit cards, we have developed this fee-based system for the purpose of accountability. It would be great to be able to just trust everyone, but until society evolves to that point, for the protection of all participants we will practice the Russian policy of 'trust but verify,' by charging a modest fee for participation. In the age of $1000 cell phones, $5+ coffee and Washington, D.C., we don’t feel at all apprehensive about this fee. At our site, no 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?

BITREFTM also serves as our entrance exam: Don't know how to use Bitcoin or don't have the capacity? Then you have no business listing items or bidding on the items of others on our site.

As a thank you to our Sellers, we are going to have a really nice drawing once we reach 100 Sellers and will award 10 very nice prizes. We also pay real Bitcoin to our Buyers and Sellers who refer new Sellers to us, .001 BTC for each.

No we don't promise fantastic (and false) profits or anything else for that matter other than the opportunity to buy and sell (assuming someone wants to buy your item) with Bitcoin, possibly win a really nice prize (1 in 10 of our first 100 Sellers will win) as well as the chance to earn BTC by referring others.

This is the drone we are giving away as the Grand Prize in our New Member Contest (drawing). For .01 BTC (check for current specials), you will earn a 1 in 100 chance at winning this. 2nd Place is pretty nice right now as well by the way - .1 BTC. We are giving away 10 prizes in all, that's a 1 in 10 chance at winning. Check it out here https://itcoinbay.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Contest050418.jpg. Consolation Prize winners will now be given the option to choose a Keepkey rather than a Trezor.

This contest/drawing is a thank you to our Sellers as we charge a one time .01 BTC fee to become a Seller rather than using a third party escrow service. Once we have reached 100 Sellers the drawing will be held and the prizes will be awarded.

15  Economy / Goods / itcoinBay.com Auction: New (almost) Swiss watch for sale! on: June 29, 2019, 01:10:12 PM
If someone wants a really nice watch for not a lot of Bitcoin, check this auction out. Not that long ago you could have had this watch for the equivalent of $60 (it's a $900 watch brand new) as we did not adjust the price when Bitcoin dipped. Now that Bitcoin's back up again, the dollar equivalent price is higher than when it was originally listed but you can always make an offer.

17  Economy / Goods / Special Offer today only at itcoinBay.com!!! on: June 26, 2019, 04:04:12 PM
As itcoinBay.com is a noob at bitcointalk, and in an effort to jump start our site with new members and auctions, we would like to propose a special offer for bitcointalk members:

Register and become a Seller on our bitcoin only auction site today (offer ends at 23:59 NYC time on 6/26/2019) and list bitcointalk as the Referrer and we will validate your Seller status for free. Just add the Seller item to your cart here https://itcoinbay.com/storefront/, complete the shipping information and click Submit but don't send us the .01 BTC and we will mark it as paid.

This will allow you to Buy|Sell with us, earn with our Referral Program and also will enter you into our New Member Contest, all at no cost to you. And not just no cost to you, but you can earn and win without spending even a fraction of a BTC!

Let us repeat what 10 of the first 100 Sellers will win:

  • The Grand Prize is a DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Quadcopter.
  • The 2nd Place winner will receive .1 BTC.
  • The 3rd Place winner will receive .02 BTC.
  • We will give away 7 consolation prizes which will be hardware wallets--your choice, Trezor or Keepkey.

BTC Turn your stuff into some bitcoin (assuming someone wants to buy it).

BTC Turn your bitcoin into some stuff.

BTC Sorry, no funny 'money' allowed--and that no man might buy or sell at https://itcoinbay.com/, save he that has a Bitcoin wallet, or a Bitcoin address, or a QR code.

Why all of the talk about 'trading' bitcoin and virtually no discussion about using it? If the Bitcoin/crypto community ever hopes to replace fiat currencies, the key to doing that is to not just use it like a get rich (or poor) quick scheme, but to begin using it like a currency. We have found that paying someone living on the other side of the globe (sorry flat-earthers) for their services is very quick, easy and cheap, not to mention virtually unknown to anyone but the two parties at either end of the transaction. Our bitcoin auction site, itcoinBay.com, was built in an effort to help the transition of bitcoin from high tech novelty to everyday currency. With our site, 'The Bitcoin Marketplace,' people can exchange products and services using bitcoin as the medium of exchange. There are also opportunities to actually earn bitcoin such as with our Referral Program and our Contest in which we will give away quite a bit of bitcoin and prizes as described on our Contest page.

Now since we at itcoinBay.com do not attach ourselves nor our members to fiat currencies, bank accounts or credit cards, we have developed a fee-based system for the purpose of accountability. It would be great to be able to just trust everyone, but until society evolves to that point, for the protection of all participants we will practice the Russian policy of 'trust but verify,' by charging a modest fee for participation. In the age of $1000 cell phones, $5+ coffee and Washington, D.C., we don’t feel at all apprehensive about this fee.

At our site, NO 3rd party payment or conversion systems, downloads, platform installs, special wallets, etc. are required. We use only Peer to Peer transactions as envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. After all, is this is not how Bitcoin was intended to be used?


Please consider joining us and help us help Bitcoin turn the corner into the mainstream. How to get started?

  • Register and then visit our store to get started: https://itcoinbay.com/storefront/.
  • Buy|Sell and earn with our Referral Program (.001 BTC for each new Seller you send our way).
  • Sellers are automatically entered in our Contest and the drawing occurs once we have 100 Sellers. The Grand Prize is a DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Quadcopter, the 2nd Place winner will receive .1 BTC, the 3rd Place winner will receive .02
       BTC and we will give away 7 consolation prizes which will be hardware wallets--your choice, Trezor or Keepkey.
