No interested parties as of yet, but I still feel like this is an excellent way to protect against the volatility of Bitcoin! Anyone interested please feel free to PM me or reply here!

First off, I hope this is the right section to place this advertisement in. We at Digimetals are trying out something new on a limited basis. We have been offering Bitcoins for precious metals for almost a year now, but we want to shake things up. We would like to offer our Bitcoins for your precious metals. At first we are only asking for bullion and coins (no jewelry yet, please). We imagine the process to work like this (but realize we may need to tweak it). 1. Contact us through our website, https://digimetals.com, and let us know what you are interested in trading. 2. We will agree on a temporary price. 3. Digimetals will place the equivalent Bitcoins into escrow with either a web based service, an IRC channel op, or a very highly rated escrow agent here. Both parties must agree on the escrow agent. 4. You ship your item to us. 5. One of our certified buyers appraises your item and we update you with his appraisal. 6. If both parties agree on a deal, Digimetals will immediately order the escrow released. If the deal cannot be completed, your item will be returned to you at our expense (typically priority mail with insurance), and we will keep the coins in escrow until you receive your item back and verify it's authenticity. As stated above, I am sure this needs some fine tuning. However we felt this service wasn't offered anywhere and would be something that new Bitcoin enthusiasts can use to move into a position in the cryptocurrency world with existing precious metals savings. Please feel free to PM or, preferably, contact us through our website. https://digimetals.comPatrick EDIT: Almost forgot to add, our other thread is linked below. It has some good back and forth and answers questions about our regular services, if you are interested in learning more about us. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=391329.0 |

Is that your Minuteman coin's website? http://minutemancoins.comI think you should use any escrow services till your company gets registered. Ps: You can also ask some trusted member (Someone from USA) to verify your phone number or identity and probably post real photos of some items you are selling on your site. Thank you for this. We have taken some extra measures. 1. All payments processed through Bitpay (and as such, we have had to stop accepting Litecoin payments for the moment). 2. Lower cost items added, along with real photos taken by us. 3. Added flat rate shipping for both US and International orders. Insurance will still cost extra. 4. Overhauled the site (and we're not done yet!). As a caveat, we just celebrated our 10th order paid for with Bitcoins! I believe one or two of them were from these forums! I am sending out a 10% off coupon to those who placed orders previously and asking them to post feedback that we can use. EDIT: Yes, that is our collectibles shop. https://digimetals.com |

I have removed my negative feedback but you still need to clear a lot questions. 1. Digimetals itself is new, correct. However our physical stores are not. Pat owns Minute Man Coins in Milford, and we use a network of brick and mortar stores in the area for stock.
Are you able to prove that, Minute Man store is yours or this site is owned by Minute man store? Of course. Please help me come up with suggestions on how to accomplish this. 3. We weren't sure how accepting cryptocurrency payments would impact the business. Margins are much better on anything 1ozt or more. However, I can guarantee you we can match or beat prices on any of the major platforms such as Apmex. If you're looking for something specific, let us know.
Don't Mind but would you trust a new site that is selling high value products, also you should sell low value items despite of their profit margin, to build customers. Understood. Suggestions on which products the community would want? If you're talking anything sub 1ozt, i can offer price matching for Apmex, Scottsdale Silver, and Monarch. We have some 5 gram bars and 1/2 ozt rounds in stock, I'll make sure they get added when the site is back up. 4. It was on the contact page, along with the address to Pat's house. It will be back on there when the site is up.
I didn't saw any phone number on contact page, also why you have given address of house instead of your shop? Digimetals is run out of his home office. Seemed logical to do it this way. We are within 20 minutes of all the shops we use for stock. 8. This I don't understand. I would venture to guess that every bullion shop I have ever been in has had at least 3 in stock.
But those bullion shops are either very old and respected or they are selling it in their physical shop. I doubt anyone will even buy it from a new website. Well, then it will sit in the safe until someone does. I really don't know what else I can do besides what I've previously offered. We have taken every precaution, and I have even convinced them to not do things such as paying for forum signatures for advertising until we build up some reputation. Once again, I am happy to work out any reasonable deal involving escrow, any form of verification, or any other thing that may ease people's concerns. |

Hello community. Due to the malleability issue, we have had to redo our payment processing system and I am looking for suggestions on LTC payment processors to use for an online store. I would like something that functions as seamlessly as Bitpay. Bonus points if it already has a wordpress or woocommerce integration process. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

We removed mtgox pricing on the 11th, however we had an issue with w3cache and the new woocommerce update and customers were seeing a previously cached version of the site. Mtgox's inability to provide efficient service has led us away from using them as a pricing model. The site is temporarily offline while we switch to Bitpay for Bitcoins payment and examine avenues to continue handling Litecoins as well. We should be up within 24 hours. Either myself or Pat will gladly work with you and are happy to use any legitimate escrow service. I'm pretty sure Pat will even be willing to pay escrow fees for the first couple, but I will have to double check to make sure. Thanks to tecx9 for messaging us about this thread. "Possible scam website. I will suggest you to avoid this website. Here are some reasons: 1.No past history of company, 2. Domain was registered recently 3. all products have a value of 1000$+ 4. No Phone number on website 5. No Vouch or feedback from any trusted user 6. Domain is Who.is Protected. 7. Company is not registered. 8. Selling 1 KG GOLD BAR" Thank you for the opportunity to clear the air on any concerns. 1. Digimetals itself is new, correct. However our physical stores are not. Pat owns Minute Man Coins in Milford, and we use a network of brick and mortar stores in the area for stock. 2. Correct, see above. 3. We weren't sure how accepting cryptocurrency payments would impact the business. Margins are much better on anything 1ozt or more. However, I can guarantee you we can match or beat prices on any of the major platforms such as Apmex. If you're looking for something specific, let us know. 4. It was on the contact page, along with the address to Pat's house. It will be back on there when the site is up. 5. No one from here has bought anything. Will gladly work out any reasonable deal with any reputable member to help show we are here to stay. Give me a chance to prove it to you. 6. This was answered a few weeks back, but it's something that comes with a domain registration with namecheap. We try to support the Bitcoin community whenever we can, and they were the only registrar we could find that accepted BTC. We used namecheap for registration and have a dedicated server with inmotion for maximum security. We also have a verified Comodo SSL certificate that Pat had to sign some forms and get notarized for. We have had the privacy removed for well over a month now, please try a different whois service. http://whois.domaintools.com/digimetals.com7. Minute Man is and Digimetals, LLC will be soon. Was a busy last month with post holiday sales and family visitations. I will post when this is done, along with complete verification information. 8. This I don't understand. I would venture to guess that every bullion shop I have ever been in has had at least 3 in stock. Again, i urge anyone interested to contact us, suggest an escrow, ask us to drive it to you, hire a carrier pigeon, etc. We will do whatever it takes to make a legitimate buyer happy and improve our reputation in the crypto community. -John |

1. Back to ~$1000/btc by Jan 15th.
2. Upwards of ~$5000/btc or more by end of 2014.
Bullish....I think 700$ is probably a pretty fair price at this point. Maybe another bubble could break to 5k mark but I honestly don't see that happening for a while. Too many growing pains right now. Hit the $1k mark twice now and is about to run right over it again.  |

Impossible to do. The protocols use different address identifiers. Most likely it will get rejected in the next block and bounce back to the exchange. you'll have to contact them to have it restored to your account.

It all depends on the difficulty. It's rather easy to project what the next difficulty jump will be, however it is much less accurate to predict where the difficulty will be in a few months, a year, etc.
Edit: if you want to mine for profit, I suggest a Scrypt GPU mining rig for starters. Cheap, you can resell the GPUs, and they are profitable. ASICs are much more unpredictable and have little-to-no resale value after they become obsolete.
Well. from what I see the best cards can pull out about 700 MH/s, which is not much comparing to the 30GB/s ASIC. + the difference in price between those two isnt that high as I would have expect it to be  You can GPU mine Scrypt altcoins and exchange to Bitcoin. Mining Bitcoin directly with GPU is not profitable oh okay  which alt would You suggest then to dig? and what income should I expect lets say after month of using 5 * 700 MH/s machines? Couldnt find any calculators for that |

They're already experimenting with Kindle Coins. I would image they will accept it through a third party ala bitpay by end of 2014.

Interesting indeed. A great way to diversify some of your holdings from XBT to gold, silver or platinum. Pretty much the min price you're going to get on a American Gold Eagle out there today is ~$1250 with the average dealer selling for ~$1290, so their price of $1277 is actually very good. And you can use your XBT to buy them which is great.
Although I hate buying on "new" websites and "new" companies...
But either way I think it's a great start and I wish you good luck!
Thanks for your thoughts. We can price them as low as we do because of our belief in cryptocurrencies. We're essentially pricing the metals at our cost, and banking on the rise and global adoption of cryptos to make the profit in the future. Happy customers now, happy owners later. |

This forum has a good amount of downtime and is not always the easiest to access.
Change Your internet provider or use Opera in turbo mode, or use some VPN. This forum is fast and work perfect. About Your signature in forum, see that: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode here html code work not. Thanks, i will look into that. I changed my signature as well, but it still isn't showing - not sure what the rules are around here as i only visited a couple of times in 2011 for mining configs. Either way, thanks for being helpful! |

Anyone try it ? Is that real ? How can I trust you ?
Feel free to email or call with any questions. Someone wrote asking if i would use escrow for a few transactions, and the answer is yes, although it will have to be someone very, very trustworthy. I cannot sign off on shipping out a $40k gold bar to someone simply because a buddy of his on an online forum says he is a good guy. Now if it is a higher up admin, or preferably, an IRC channel admin/op, then we could probably pull it off. We are also in the process of adding some 1/4 and 1/2 ozt rounds to the shop on a limited run to help start the trust here on BTCtalk. I typically don't buy anything less than 1 ozt as it's near impossible to offer anything close to spot on them and at such a small amount (conversely you can get a hell of a deal on a 10ozt or kilo bar). We at Digimetals noticed a severe lack of proper CRM in the cryptocurrency -> precious metals world and we have been working to fill that gap. If any of you place an order from seeing this thread, please put that in the order notes upon checkout. I'll toss in some extra goodies and some airtite cases for whatever you purchase. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, but please try and do so through our website. This forum has a good amount of downtime and is not always the easiest to access. Thanks again, everyone! https://digimetals.com |

Registrant Name: WHOISGUARD PROTECTED Registrant Organization: WHOISGUARD, INC. Registrant Street: P.O. BOX 0823-03411 Registrant City: PANAMA Registrant State/Province: PANAMA No address on https://digimetals.com/contact/Are You a drop shifter? It's something Namecheap adds automatically when you buy a domain and hosting through them. I am in the process of having it removed (we just renewed the registration a few days ago), but in the meantime i have posted our registered address, which is also my home, on the contact page. Feel free to stop on by and see anything we have in stock (please email for an appointment first!). We are not the traditional drop shipper, but i guess we could be considered along the same lines. We belong to a network of gold dealers who share stock and profit. We are able to offer at spot or slightly higher (typically less than 1% over) due to this. Anything that is marked as "# in stock" on it's product page is an item we physically have in hand and available for immediate shipment. Everything else will have an additional 24 hour processing time, but will still leave within our 72 hour window. Any other questions, feel free to contact us! I will also try to keep up on this thread as much as possible. Thanks for the interest everyone! |

Hello fellow Coinheads! Digimetals is proud to announce the launch of it's new online presence. We have been providing precious metal sales for Bitcoin since early 2013. Recently we added the option to pay with Litecoin as well. Precious Metals are a great hedge against inflation! We use a combination of a network of major suppliers and our own stock to ensure all orders are shipped out quickly. Typical turnaround time from order to shipment has been less than 48 hours on average for the last six months. We do not take orders for any out of stock product. We like to please our customers, not aggravate them like some other shops. Give us a shot and you will love our service. Special on flat rate shipping extended through the middle of January. Flat rate is USPS Priority Mail with insurance for all orders in the continental United States, and USPS First Class International with insurance on worldwide orders. Any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at j.gibson@digimetals.com or email support directly at info@digimetals.comhttps://Digimetals.com *Please note our average shipping time is now 3 business days from the time of (3) confirmations. We had to build in some extra time to ensure each order receives individual attention. |
