1  Economy / Economics / Re: List of Bitcoin Hostile (and friendly) Banks on: January 05, 2016, 05:47:55 PM
Add United Bank (DC Metro area) to unfriendly.  They flat out told me any association with coinbase is grounds to close a decade old account.  And BOA closed my MSB biz account back in September 2015 and were tight lipped about why. Yes, I had a AML/KYC policy that I followed to a T.  This shit is ridiculous.

What a bunch of bullshit.  

1) They claim they've sold over 70M neucoins for over 3K BTC.
2) They claim the proceeds are visible here: https://blockchain.info/address/3MrNuksZ1VePU3dGiSQFiouWerJUJgDkfH
3) There is .05 BTC in that address

They originally listed the names of people behind this scam in this article, but they have since been scrubbed.. INTERESTING HMM?

Clearly the next GAW.  Assholes.  Fuck Off.

What would be my recourse if I lose the security card? or if it gets destroyed somehow?
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How about a bitcoin coinstar? on: February 25, 2015, 08:30:06 PM
you can get amazon code from coinstar for 0% fee, then go to coinclub.io and convert to BTC..  i haven't used coinclub but they seem to have a good track record.

It's an extra step from what you are describing, but simplest way i see to convert change to bits.

I checked it out for shits and giggles.
nothing fishy as far as I(and software) could tell from an exploit standpoint.
I must be one of the people whose details were deleted.

There is nothing of value from what i can discern other than emails tied to a balance.

I highly doubt Mark "has all the coins" btw...bizarre post all around.  What is to happen on the 25th?

10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you normally trust a Bitcoin ATM? on: December 10, 2014, 03:35:06 PM
Before you even insert cash, the machine asks for your QR code. It makes sure it is a valid address before accepting any bills.  As long as your wallet and devices are secure(which is out of BTM's control), you should feel very comfortable using BTMs. They will not let you insert more money than they can cover. I have not used Skyhook, but the major BTM manufacturers have never had transaction issues I am aware of. Bitaccess, Lamassu, Robocoin, Genesis1 are all trustworthy machines.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Big players attempting to drop price on: December 09, 2014, 04:04:56 PM
We really need the bitcoin halving to come earlier, miners are dropping bitcoin too fast...

Satoshi was not betting on such bubbly adoption.  Bitcoin was never meant to have such high market cap so soon.

You don't know a damn thing about what Satoshi was "betting" on.

Yes, you are wrong.  Let me explain again:
People use Western Union in emergencies--like being stranded halfway across the country with no money for gas, that sort of thing.  The kind of emergencies in which Bitcoin would be of no use, since it can not be spent in in the podunks where these emergencies take place.  Gas stations don't take Bitcoin.

If you are talking about needing something which could be bought online, simply ask the person to put the purchase on his CC, and save bot of you the fee and the hassle.

But I can also pay for someone's gas in the middle of nowhere instantly from my living room with btc, all they need is the payment protocol.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The transaction fee is just ridiculous. on: November 05, 2014, 04:00:33 PM
I use .00001 fee all the time and it's gets added pretty quickly.  $.003 isn't very ridiculous to me when i'm moving $1500 or even $5 around.. total fees per block currently avgs .1 - .2 btc.. big whoop.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Make $$ while everyone just sits and waits for "$10,000" per coin on: October 21, 2014, 03:30:29 PM
Seems like you are just in this to make more dollars?  Please correct me if I'm misreading your original post.

Last night I got a buttload of free drinks just for talking the bartender into d/ling a wallet for his phone, and tipped him $3 in BTC.  This creates network effects that will make you more dollars(if that's your bag) in the long run.  Have you spent any bitcoins, or do you have any plans to do so, or will you just dump when it hits your price target?
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The problem with bitcoin is buying bitcoin on: October 14, 2014, 06:12:12 PM
When you are registered on an exchange it is cheap and easy to buy; you can buy easily in a Bitcoin ATM too but the fees are high.

It is not as easy as it sounds. Depositing fiat to any of these exchanges is tedious and takes a lot of time. Options such as SEPA and Wire are available, but sometimes it can take as much as 2-3 months for the funds to be deposited in your account.

I guess it depends.  I can get fiat to exchanges in under 48 hours. USA->bitstamp.  $50 fee tho...

bitcoin will drop back to where it came from at $0.01 or $0.0001

OK. This is how you spend your Saturday night/Sunday mornings??
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin promoter to face five years in prison for conspiring to sell Bitcoin on: September 12, 2014, 04:11:15 PM
This is GARBAGE media. Your articles are full of half facts, and sorely lacking in actual data.  Bunch of What-ifs and FUD.  Did you even read the complaint against Shrem or the Florida guys?  They weren't arrested "for selling bitcoins".

Please GTFO. Worse than Fox News.

18  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is the Future of Bitcoin ? on: August 18, 2014, 09:20:25 PM
Figured this was a good example of the future of bitcoin.  I was just contacted by a major bank and told my credit card number was breached.  This is literally the 4th in 2 years. They would not tell me where it was breached but said it was a mass breach event. Now I have to go change just about every account because this was my #1 card.  I'm so sick of this crap.  Where is the CFPB? Oh, that's right, they're busy writing slanted hit pieces!  As soon as I can ditch these cards and go full crypto, then we have arrived at the future.

Thanks for the post, I had something very similar happen. He had addresses on a piece of paper, not even QR codes and admitted they were not his. I felt uncomfortable about the whole thing and declined to sell the coins.
