81  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Minimal Electrum builds for Windows XP & 7 on: July 15, 2012, 02:29:34 AM
A customer of mine had problem connecting to any server using your Windows build version 0.60. She gets the message "Not connected. Block: -1".

I resolved this by restoring her wallet on my Linux desktop with version 0.61.

Please note that your BitcoinAdvertisers ad does not work. It points to: https//bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88320.0

You apparently forgot the colon.

Thanks for catching that, John! Will launch the ad campaign in earnest on Monday.

I have added GCASH mobile phone transaction as payment and remitance option. Suggestions and comments are welcome to improve my service.

Don't worry about this. As posted on http://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/

[W]e are proposing to adapt the Thunderbird release and governance model in a way that allows both ongoing
security and stability maintenance, as well as community-driven innovation and development for the product.

You just can't put a good software down.

I wonder what are the risks involved?
Not that I have any reason not to trust MadSweeney but aside from the obvious that you risk losing your btc - isn't there also a risk associated with giving someone else your account number?
Alternatives like Mlhuiller's kwarta padala has crazy rates though...

If you're worried about transactions being snooped on or spoofed there are enough indications that my service is GPG-ready. If you haven't used GnuPG before to encrypt and sign text or files, I'm willing to help you learn how to use it.

If you're worried about how I secure my wallet, I use Electrum offline wallet on a Linux host for Mang Sweeney's transactions.

If you're worried about what I will do with bank account numbers, I'll admit to my ignorance of the nefarious ways such information can be of use to anybody. I don't know, for instance, how to take money out of someone's bank account using the account number and account name only.

Will I give account information to someone else? I can only assure you that I won't volunteer to give it to anyone nor will I disclose it if she asks nicely.

Your questions make me think that maybe I should destroy all such information after the completion of transaction. That way I wouldn't even be forced to give them up. (But it might be problematic if a dispute arises and I have no records.)

If I were subject to AML regulations, as the established remittance shops have to be, I couldn't do that for KYC compliance. Discussions of whether I should subject myself to such regulations or not, however, are for another thread.

If you're worried that I'll scam you, then keep on being observant and asking questions. And I'll do my best not to get annoyed. Wink

Can you detail the minimum account information needed to deposit Pesos to an account?

1. Name of bank
2. Account name
3. Account number
89  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Mang Sweeney's: send money to the Philippines through bitcoin on: July 02, 2012, 05:27:49 PM
Updated the OP with details on rates and email address.

What problems bitcoin solve in general terms seem pretty much well-known already. What things, services, or systems will emerge as a consequence of its adoption are also interesting and may be harder to predict. Another question that's in my head of late is this. What does it matter if bitcoin allows for a freer movement of money? Maybe it will solve the problem of a young pharmacist from Iloilo City to get funding for her research on infant formula?

Rates

Negotiable rates start at mtgoxUSD last price converted to PH Peso as returned by google.com.

You can also check the up-to-the-minute rate here. Note the "10 btc" is just a placeholder. This is the market price at 1:1 (no % markup). No additional fees from my end, but you pay the bank fees if any.
92  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Mang Sweeney's: send money to the Philippines through bitcoin on: June 29, 2012, 04:16:36 AM
Next week, I'll be doing a pilot transaction with someone new to bitcoin. Let's see if this bitcoin thingamajig is what it's cracked up to be for remittances.

Current state:
Slots BTC Person
2 3 bitdaytrade
2 2 TehZomB
1 2 TangibleCryptography
1 1.5 MadSweeney
1 1 Littleshop
1 1 MadSweeney

The last entry should have been canceled, right? Since MadSweeney made another bid.

I also made a btc to paypal transaction on Spendbitcoins.com recently. Jeremy provided an excellent customer service.

Thanks for the link, Blimmerhead. Will keep that forum in mind.

What about spiders though. And what exactly is "soap foam". Put soap on your hands with some water and rub until there is foam?

haven't tried it on spiders. yes, you can get soap foam that way or lather up water in a container or something to get a good supply.

Did you know you can kill a cockroach more neatly by throwing soap foam at it? It takes several seconds for the foam to take effect but you need never fear when an invasion happens in the bathroom.
