Bitstamp will freeze your accounts if they suspect you use these
Not just me that has had this issue!

My interpretation of his body language:
He doesn't give a fuck, and he plans to walk away with enough money that he can pay private security to protect him for life and has already been in touch with Controlled Risks in the UK where he has hired 4 ex-SAS bodyguards.
All the people threatening yakuza and chopping his legs off are going to do nothing in the face of his security, Mark walks away a gajillionaire.
The end.

Also, I wouldn't underestimate the abilities of British law enforcement.
Are these the same British law enforcement who send out letters to burglary victims without ever visiting the scene of the crime? Who claim there's no CCTV in central London when someone is mugged? Who don't even bother showing up when cars are stolen and just post out a crime number? Which British law enforcement is there that you're familiar with? |

So will you or will you not put the £1500 into escrow to cover any potential losses?
if you do that for each investor then we have zero risk as you promise and I'm sure you'll have a bunch of people signing up right away.
You've been doing this 1.5 years, with £6000 averaging £3000 profit a week. That's over £200,000 you have in profit apparently.
So it's not like you can't afford to put the money in escrow.
What would make a LOT more sense is if you simply used your own £200k. Didn't panhandle for small change (relatively speaking) on forums, and keep 100% of the profits.
Why would you want other people to keep 50% of profit when you can do it yourself with your own cash?

Dunno if it was true or not, it was on this forum

Perhaps you are reflecting on what you would do, not what most buyers would do.
Nice, I disagree so you imply I'm dishonest. Slightest disagreement, slightly slow shipping, whatever reason, they don't release the funds, it makes zero difference to them. They're out either way. Feedback isn't enough of an incentive to stop people doing it. Look at eBay. It's not anonymous, ask any seller how often they have scam attempts, feedback extortion, paypal chargebacks, now make it anonymous.... |

Right, which is why I haven't said anything about legally forcing them to or anything.
I'd rather find strategies for getting them to see that it can be in their interest, find banks that can be worked with, etc.
It is a real barrier to bitcoin business to not be able to have a bank account that your customers can easily deal with and have trust in.
Have you tried Metro bank? My friend is Somalian and had a million and one issues with the whole funding terrorism thing when he got into some sort of mining deal with some Somalians back home and Metro were the only bank that'd touch him with a bargepole. I think they're only in London though |

So here's a question, what's the lifespan on this thing? I mean the concept is great. And there's always going to be start ups in IT that need money, but is Leancy ever going to get so big that more investments won't be needed? What happens then?
There are no startups Just like Charles Ponzi never purchased any international reply coupons, they do not invest in any startups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme |

In Australia the best bet is to promise to only accept cash deposits.
That way there is zero risk of people claiming the transfers were stolen etc.
Might help.

Mates, don't believe you cannot withdraw BTC due to KYC/AML. I've been saying here in this thread and around backed by the exchange manager of my bank, that BTC is not money and so it is out of the scope of any financial institutions / kyc / aml. It is free of any financial regulation. Today even the Federal Bank of the United States said that: "I think it's important to understand that this is a payment innovation that's taking place entirely outside the banking industry," Yellen told Sen. Joe Manchin, D-WV. "The Federal Reserve simply does not have the authority to supervise or regulate Bitcoin in any way." http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/02/27/yellen-bitcoin-senate-testimony/5872039/Whoever can't withdraw BTC from Bitstamp or any other exchange is being scammed.My next step will be small claims, they're UK registered so they'll hve to respond |

I didn't leave that option out. That's the "miners' fees" remember? Also, once you have a couple transactions under your belt, your feedback rating would make you more trustworthy than someone with a lower feedback rating. So, the seller could opt to refuse large dollar amount sales to newbies as a condition of the auction. Another condition of the auction set by the seller could be a discount for those with a very good feedback rating. Feedback ratings are weighted with more weight given to high dollar amount sales that have closed successfully. With this discount in place, there would be a great incentive to not use throwaway profiles just to be an "asshole" as there is no financial incentive to be an "asshole" since the money goes to the miners and not the "asshole" buyer. The financial incentive is on being a good buyer to keep a high feedback rating for said discounts.
Yes but people would do it, if it goes to the miners or the sellers it doesn't go back to the buyer, so they don't care. You'd end up with everyone insisting on finalisation before they shipped anything to newbies and it'd be scam city. Like silk road |

Because shutting down SR was the objective. finding every single seller from VISA to Bitcoin sold by exchanges and then tracked to SR is highly doable, but resource-wise nonsense as every seller had to be tracked and then fined for a small amount.
Gox is the opposite: one large operation with multiple proofs of deposits and high profiled.
Why do you think that most wallets get dust transactions, and have you checked which servers they often originate from?
Those dust transactions - of which I got 23 so far, can't be spent. I had to leave them in old wallets. so how do they do anything? And we're not talking small time, we're talking people who deal in dozens of kgs a month, fully automatic weapons. All operating with impunity for 2-3 years now. If tumbling didn't work, we would have seen more busts |
