Switching from sha to scrypt in a few hours after the OP... looks like some big thinking went into making this coin

I think 2014 will be the year where all these crap altcoins will start fading away, and the strongest ones are left. It's all a matter of survival of the strongest

So would you guys recommend an R9 280x over a Sapphire HD 7950 card?

I don't know, maybe save the hassle of having to sign up with an exchange which deals with XRP, converting XRP into BTC and incurring a fee (whereas here I'm willing to pay the fee myself), and the fact that LTC has a better prospect than XRP. I only want to trade since I have a fair amount of LTC myself and I'm trying to have something of all top 5 currencies

Hey there - looking to trade/sell 20 LTC for 40k Ripple (XRP). I'd also like an escrow service for this transaction, someone reputable from this forum - pick an escrow yourself, preferably someone from the top ten lists I've seen around and with a good trust ranking. I will pay the fee myself. As you know, after Bitcoin's crash a couple of days ago, all ALT-coins took a hit... but LTC is one of the best bouncing-back currencies on the market, set to hit the $30 mark again pretty soon I'm sure.

P.S. - the reason for an escrow service is to avoid any doubt from the transacting party's part on my reliability, as well as to avoid any sort of scamming. No FIAT offers or any other currency offer. Thanks!

No, unfortunately PayPal won't refund those costs or the return shipping I'm afraid... all the seller did was tell me  that the laptop was working when he sent it and that's it. It was poorly packaged and one of the rules in claiming insurance on shipments is that the laptop must have been securely packaged. So that's a no-go. I might go out 50 euro or so on this one, but in the end, it's better to lose 50 euro than losing a laptop worth 500 euro I guess.

Think it was on the 8th December. I remember searching for it on 13th December and seeing people had mined around 9 mil DOGE each on the first day... turned out to be quite a good profit for them

Saw someone asking whether PayPal ever sided with the seller - it did once in my case. I had sold a working laptop to a person who first claimed that I was scamming her since she couldn't find the shipment tracking using the number I gave her (turned out she wasn't even using the correct site), then once the laptop arrived, she said it worked for the first day and then stopped working. I sent proof that the laptop was working, that the customer had already accused me of fraud, that the same customer had confided in me,  that she had a lot of telephone bills to pay (she had sent me payment 4 days after the purchase was complete) and that she herself had claimed that the laptop was working when she first received it. PayPal decided in my favour there

How did you prove that it was working? Just by what she said originally? Paypal can and does side with the seller in rare cases, but you need to make sure you're covered with as much evidence as possible. You must always get a tracking number that needs a signature from the recipient that can be checked online. I've always wondered what would happen if a seller claimed he had received something but that it was just an empty box with something to weigh it down etc. How could the sender prove otherwise really? At the end of the day ebay just comes down to blind trust really, but it is so easy to scam people on there, especially when paypal refund money without looking into the case much.

I had taken pictures of the laptop before shipping, with the camera date at the bottom and additionally printscreens from the working laptop itself with the calendar opened. Of course, these can all be faked, but it always helps to have such evidence backing you up.

PayPal is buyer-biased at times, but for example right now I have an ongoing dispute about a laptop I received which isn't working (ironic...). PayPal is reviewing the claim - they asked me to send them a certified note from a  third-party qualified  technician that the laptop is not working, such as an invoice for repairs, etc. Again, easy to fake, but it's not an automatic payout by PayPal whenever a buyer opens a case.

China won't outright ban bitcoins. It's been trying too hard to fit in with the western world to risk losing some of its standing by doing this. Also, it's a massive opportunity for any country right now to make the first step and accept Bitcoin as legal tender. It might be next year, maybe in 5 years' time... who knows?

Started using vircurex. Although its less-than-professional layout put me off at first, I'm satisfied with their service
