Yup, a more than just those 7:

Good Find!  That just came out today.  I wonder if the author was tipped off by my post and initial research a couple days ago.

We should not underestimate facebook and facebook credits as a competitor.  Starbucks will accept them, so will other stores.  They will get lots of publicity from this.  They will take a large share of the digital wallet space, because they already have the leading app on every smartphone platform.

Facebook will be a private, global e-currency when they enter the peer-to-peer market.  You will be able to pay people remotely in India using facebook credits.  This needs to be watched, and watched closely.

maybe i should look into it more closely, if that ever happens people would want to exchange some of their centralized credits for "digital gold" to keep their savings safe, you never know when playing farmville all day could be your actual dayjob  Cheesy
2904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sitting on the toilet with a laptop and an idea on: February 21, 2012, 06:25:12 PM
I also think this is a seriously good idea.  Imagine having a bitcoin laser tag room setup at something like CES, ComicCon, or a MLG tournament

What about those who don't play laser tag but would love to bet on the outcome? I could be sitting at home watching all the movements of the players in the field, thus allowing me the ability on whether I want to bet on that team the next time.

Two teams compete against each other once a critical mass of bitcoins has been wagered. The losing team gets nothing, whereas the winning team splits the winnings with the betters.

It won't take long for this to become a reality show, enjoyed by the masses.

Without me clicking any links from this https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=laser+tag+reality+show I can easily see that there's a huge market, some untapped.

Final score, 276-135, with Jamaican Hopscoth Mafia stomping The Mighty Morphin Flower Arrangers.

Stay tuned! Next week's match-up will be between Spider Pigs vs The Mighty Midgets.

What's a good name for a Laser Tag championship title?

i already imagine that... a poor guy comes up and pays the entry fee, he only has 5 satoshi left and be able to play in the tournament. Any hit could leave him out for good so no one pays more attention to him. Curiously he "survives" 3 rounds in a row without sweat and wining a great deal of coins already. The final battle is right around the corner and the favorite is getting bets from all over the world but this guy keeps strong. He seems to have a purpose in this life, wining... you can imagine the rest Wink

I am from Paypal. PayPal Debit card is not allowed nor is being sold in my country. you can check that. + you can verify my country by IP address and my address on PayPal.

next? Smiley

Oooo. He works for Paypal and he's selling something against their TOS. Interesting.

Can we contact Paypal with your name and paypal information and get confirmation so we can quote you and use you as an advertisement for how Paypal employees officially endorse Bitcoin now even though it's against the Paypal TOS?

Woot, obviously a keyboard error, although my bet was on that  Smiley
2906  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: PayPal for BTC Exchanger on: February 21, 2012, 04:31:16 PM
Guys, isn't it obvious after he stated he will wait 1 day after receiving funds? He's using a stolen Paypal account. As soon as you pay him, he withdraws the money (and for this he needs some time, hence the day wait) and never sends you any bitcoins. The customer reverses the paypal payment, leaving the stolen paypal account with a negative balance. Now the real owner of the account is screwed.


Just let this thread die!

First of all, I cant withdraw money within 1 day.
Second - How I would be able to withdraw money to my bank account if it was stolen paypal account if name/address/country doesnt match? Are you really that stupid or just trying to be? because what are you saying is impossible to do stuff.

This thread wont die because I aint going anywhere, you can be sure of that.

Bump to the top! For the greater justice.

that method will not work mister, i tell you. paypal will leave your account with negative balance in case you get a charge-back. You have two options then, continue to get funds and pay the debt with them or make a new account altogether including the bank account. This method has already been tried by others before and if it's not the one you're using please excuse me, but is the only one that explains the big amount you are willing to trade.

I don't remember too much but i was looking at an article bashing this new bitcoin thing and, because i'm used to understand exactly the opposite of what mass-media tells us, i started looking into it until it got me for good. In two days i was mining and never stopped since. Felt the coin-rush too, awesome feeling btw  Smiley
2911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sitting on the toilet with a laptop and an idea on: February 21, 2012, 01:31:43 AM

nicee, so rift could learn json-rpc somehow and talk directly to the bitcoin daemon or you escrow the coins before the game starts. That way you make all the coin movements internally and keep the interfacing with bitcoind to a minimum.

Got a little problem, whenever a new block starts some servers start lagging and i get errors in the shell.

Does somebody know how to fix it? I am running a VM in Fusion (Ubuntu 11.10 x64).

Voy mas o menos encaminado con la programacion asi que voy a empezar a escribir paralelamente un primer documento del proyecto para indicar en que consiste y cuales son las implicaciones para Bitcoin (100% seguro que no sera el documento final). Indiquenme con un PM quienes deseen recibirlo de modo de poder tener feedback de vuestra parte.

Nope, i don't think i will be working with bitpay real soon, giving that Yankee has chosen to judge me for filing a complaint against an obscure service like bitcoinica.

Wrong company. For a guy who files complaints for a living, get your companies straight.  

Yes, of course I'm gonna judge you for filing a complaint against Bitcoinica for no apparent reason. If you do have a reason, you've yet to explain yourself further from 'look at my first post'

You know what. I bet you lost money, and this is your way of taking it out on Zhou. Modern day sore loser.

If you thing I'm wrong, defend yourself.

Are you implying that you wouldn't do the same, file a complaint with the authorities, against and unknown entity on the internet that lures people to put their money into and gain interest ? And yes, they work with USD, bitcoins are secondary as the authorities don't know what they are. Here is the page where they state the interest paying https://www.bitcoinica.com/pages/interest.

I didn't lose a cent and this fact is stated in the official paper. I don't think you're wrong, just misinformed, like all of us waiting for the owner to at least say at least in what country is his business located.

I keep my cool because i think i did the correct thing. I don't want bitcoinica to turn into a mybitcoin 2.0 for the bitcoin project. I'm sick and tired of all the negative press because you get a hard time explaining to a newbie what bitcoin is when the first spanish google results show up bitcoin is a scam.

@RaggedMonk you could at least spend a little more time with your questions, like Yankee, if you want them to be comprehended and leave the personal attacks aside. I'm not a native English speaker so i try to avoid responding ambiguous ones that i don't understand.

@teflone not at all dude and i state that in the complaint
i'm getting a habit at quoting psy on this:
Quote
1- He discovered a website in the internet who takes money from people without asking for identification documents.
2- That the only information they have in the webiste is about how to send money to them.
3- That in a later date they started accepting deposits from people and they play with them on the market and promise high returns on the investment.
4- That he has asked more information about the company in public forums, I suspect bitcointalk.org, and have got no answers from the company, thus believing they are a sweat shop.
5- He hasn't personally lost any money or patrimony with said company but it's his desire that the police investigates them

Here is my original request to zhoutong https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63694.msg746083#msg746083
His response after the complaint was filed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64176.msg753978#msg753978 stating that
Quote
Bitcoinica is no longer a product of xWaylab Inc., and we no longer operate in the jurisdiction of Delaware
And another posts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64176.msg754638#msg754638

Bitcoinica is hosted in TX, USA https://i.imgur.com/wBNtZ.jpg.

If you know more about them please do tell, so the people can get their money back in case it disappears some day.

Btw, please make another thread if you want to discuss more on the issue, i'm locking this one, thanks.
