I do not think it was a ponzi at all just a bad investment. They clearly stated the cost of the contracts upfront...unless terms were changed? Not sure this needs to be said, but here: cloud mining is always an bad extremely risky investment

it's a reputation system. you get it by doing trades. well, mostly.
the above quote was meant to be a joke. the accumulated btc you'll be giving away will be much much much much higher than what you can get with your reputation.
You would be surprised how many benefits come with being trusted. Just be honest all of the time and keep a level head when things get crazy here. It takes years to build up a good reputation and only one bad move to ruin it. I can only agree with the last part, it takes only one bad move to become public to ruin your trust. But it takes (probably far) less than a year to get a good reputation (on a new alt account). This is what con men do. They're good at gaining trust. Depends on what you define as a "good reputation". Not a chance I would send first to someone without years of trust built up here. It took over a year before I no longer had people ask to escrow when trading with me. Everyone will have different views on what is trusted and what is not though. Does this qualify as sending first: Quickseller -492: -9 / +20 2015-05-14 1.50000000 Purchased a coin from me...we both paid/shipped at the same time. Because Quickseller registered on July 22, 2014, 05:51:40 AM. Not what I would call "years of trust". QS was a special case due to how much effort he put into the forums.

I just got my coin back from ANACS also! I really love how much the color adds to these coins when you look at them. It is refreshing to see something besides silver/gilt. The DCAM designation shows that the coins were minted at a quality place which adds to them quite a bit. The only real downside with slabbing these guys is that you can not read the rim afterward. I personally hold some XMR and think that anyone who likes XMR should own 1 or 2 of these coins. I did just post these images in the #Monero IRC chan and others were impressed with it also. This coin is Blazedout419 approved (Scuffs are on the slab)

I hope you sell a lot of these books. I think the physical crypto coin market will just continue to get stronger and stronger. Are you going to be signing the first editions of these books?

I am after some old US paper money if you have some for sale. I am not sure if you are buying or selling...or both?

You guys seem to think that this is a community ran forum or something. This is Theymos's forum and he makes the rules. This is not some democratic place by any means. Obviously his dox are off limits.

EDIT: ...but you're on your own with grading. Blazedout419's MS-70 with a chunk missing out of the rim should give you an idea of what an ANACS slab is worth.
Agreed, ANACS may not be perfect, but for now at least they are the best un-biased third party grading company we have to assign a grade to a coin so that we can value it easier/more uniformly. There was no chunk missing on that coin. Nubbins is just a hater...drinking that Hateraide.

I think the point is that if true we have a double standard is all.
That's mainly my point, but there's no need for "if true". It is true, and you can easily prove it yourself -- right now. Try posting a specific 10 digit Google Voice number, or a specific street address. You will see https://i.imgur.com/EZifOg6.png with an automatic permanent ban. So if I were to post either of those I would be insta banned from these boards?

Sign a message from an old posted BTC address + send me the domain and I will lend you the .35 BTC I am lazy so you will need to find the old unedited post please

QS has left now that I released his funds from escrow (the deal he was waiting on before leaving).
I doubt he has left. He probably just ditched that alt now that it has been caught out. He is probably focusing on his many other alt accounts now. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, but I am guessing he would keep it low key. Overall he messed up, but compared to the 100s of scams here he is small potatoes. Why not dox the big scammers like FriedCat who walked with millions? It amuses me that people care more about a guy who self escrowed and did not steal over people who take lots of coins and bail.

I'm confused. what's the point of asking about theymos' dox when the U.S government clearly knows who he is and where he lives? don't tell me you want to send him a postcard or something.
I believe we should not try to dox anyone unless they have done something really wrong.
I think the point is that if true we have a double standard is all.

The sig spammers are here to stay so it is pointless to care. Yes I have a sig, but get a flat rate before you say "you got a sig stfu". The issue is paid per post causes the spammers. I think the wall of text spammers are worse than the 1 -3 word spammers. The forum does not mind sig posters even when they admit publicly they only post for pay. I think the more posts the forum gets the better it is for them (more ad revenue). Just ignore people and signatures if they bother you...forum not going to change it. I gave up caring about spam once I realized it will not change.

I just use eBay for them and buy like 50 at a time. They are really cheap...also when I ship coin in for grading I yank the air tites.

From the prices you're looking for... You're not looking to have an auction. You should just post in the digital goods section.
Agreed...starting price is too high. You have to be willing to roll the dice when running an auction and take a possible loss. If you are not willing to sell well under market rate then ask for a set price. If you started the bidding around 5 BTC I think you would have good results. I would be bidding well over the 5 BTC for sure. Genesis is one of the few legit cloud mining operations around. Do you know if Genesis allows for account transfers?

I got 3 of these coins and am very happy with them. I think for the price the quality is really good...much happy many joy. I really like it when people come up with nice coins at really good prices. I think you should charge an extra $1-$2 and include air-tites though. Recently I prefer the square ones with black for some reason.

Garbage. Not you. Shipping was fine. Quality of coins is a joke though. What is wrong with your coins? I think for such a low cost coin the quality is really good. Also I do not need any holders sent as I have 10 billion air tites laying around already.
