OP, why don't you sell your account instead?

I just noticed that @Rakuten_at tweeted about Bitcoin- this could mean that they will be integrating Bitcoin in other countries soon.
1303  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] BitClub Network - Passive Bitcoin Mining Opportunity NOW LIVE! on: March 31, 2015, 04:40:20 AM
On March 4 2015 I met a guy named Bernd K. on a Bitcoin-related event. He started talking about an investment opportunity and sent me a link to a webinar on how to get rich with BitClub Network.

I do not have evidence of them stealing funds, but I have reported people promoting this scheme to authorities and will continue to support investigations.
1304  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Coinomat.com - Instant Cryptocurrency Exchange fully launched. on: March 31, 2015, 03:10:26 AM
Who is behind Coinomat?

Why is it only partly translated? (I only tried the German translation; you should really work on that...)

Also: I have no idea what that is.....(I guess it's supposed to display BTC/USD rates or something)

Regarding (1), you can always reject trading with Tor/Proxy users and/or require ID verification..

Yes, you can do that and all active traders are doing that, but newbies might have a very a bad experience due to that.
1306  Other / Off-topic / Re: How long till Vod gets removed from the trust list? on: March 31, 2015, 12:42:50 AM
third party dictating to others what to do with their money.

How is Vod "dictating to others what to do with their money"? I could still buy those MSDN keys if I wanted to, but I for one appreciate to be warned about shady people.

I checked his ratings and they all seem reasonable.

If you were to enforce the TOS of every company out there THERE WOULD BE NOTHING TO TRADE. So the question isn't about people maybe getting away with something, its about which is worse, that or this pandora's box of imposition on the trading environment by a demonstrated tyrant like VOD.

How about real goods or services?
1307  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why is no authority after btc-e.com? on: March 30, 2015, 09:50:41 PM
The following countries could take action against BTC-e:

- the United States (taking their .com domain name, Cloudflare and GoDaddy)
- the United Kingdom (freezing funds of their payment provider)
- Australia / New Zealand (via Instra.com)
- Latvia (freezing the SEPA account of their payment provider)
- Hong Kong (freezing their Perfect Money funds)
- Russia (freezing their Yandex Money funds)
- their home country
1308  Bitcoin / Press / Re: Guidelines for Press board on: March 30, 2015, 09:33:53 PM
I think we could use some clarification re 'Press' section. I don't think articles from bitcoin/crypto news services (CoinDesk, Cointelegraph etc) should be posted in this board, since basically all their articles are bitcoin related.

Shouldn't it be limited to mainstream or non-crypto press hits?

I agree. Many of these Bitcoin news websites are quite new and don't have the reputation of major news outlets (some of them promoted the paycoin scam, etc.).
1309  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Neteller now is using Bitpay to accept Bitcoin as deposit method - Big news! on: March 30, 2015, 09:02:35 PM
Just funded my new Neteller wallet with Bitpay, works good so far.

They are using Netverify so you can get verified within a few minutes or less.

I can't believe you're happy that they are dodging the laws and remaining anonymous. Your praises will stop when you come upon an empty account and have noone to turn to. I hope it won't happen, but people actually start to like the law and authorities once they are in trouble.
I have nothing against Btc-e, but a bit of transparency never killed anyone.

+1 the Bitcoin economy could be much safer if they did basic identity checks like any other exchange.
1311  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Looking to buy north korean won on: March 30, 2015, 07:04:38 PM
I bought a set of KPW bank notes for BTC in late 2013 - I bought them from a user named citywok33 on bitmit, but now their platform no longer exists.
1312  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Five Reddit /r/DarkNetMarkets Admin and User Accounts Subpoenaed by ICE on: March 30, 2015, 06:42:26 PM
A few months ago I submitted a list of subreddits (including DNM) related to illicit activity to tips.fbi.gov - after reddit ignored my message to the admins.

Looks like they are finally doing something.
1313  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Has anyone been wronged by localbitcoins? on: March 30, 2015, 04:58:41 PM
Hi,

I never had an issue with LBC disputes, however I recently stopped using them.

LocalBitcoins is insecure and doesn't do much to protect buyers or sellers.

P.S. I saw your story on the LBC forum
1314  Economy / Digital goods / Re: [WTS] Full member with Green on: March 30, 2015, 04:44:04 PM
It's certainly not true , people buy it for easy trades!
Still selling guys , PM me

Easy trades? There are enough people offering escrow for free or almost free - selling trusted accounts only helps scammers to trick newbies into trading without escrow.
1315  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitrated V2 - consumer protection and reputation management for Bitcoin on: March 30, 2015, 03:40:37 PM
Why would you be getting any requests ?

I mean a request for escrow^^
1316  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] LocalBitcoins.com - a location-based bitcoin to cash marketplace on: March 30, 2015, 03:34:56 PM
Could you elaborate what your main concern is? Did they state to not have a cold wallet or something? As long as they have 95% in cold wallets, I assume they will bail out anybody who looses money due to their fault.

1.They are not taking action against dishonest people - they could drastically reduce the number by banning all Tor/VPN/Proxy users and requiring ID from all users.
2.They are not working to improve their credit rating ->  dealing with them may have a negative impact on your own credit rating.
3.I don't know about their cold wallet/hot wallet policy, but they still don't use multisig...

Das heißt bei Verlust kann es passieren, dass Du noch ein Vielfaches Deines Verlustes nachschießen musst.

In diesem Falle nicht, da 1Broker keine Zulassung hat. Heisst natürlich auch, dass Gewinne aus dem Handel auf 1Broker durch Behörden beschlagnahmt werden können.
1318  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitrated V2 - consumer protection and reputation management for Bitcoin on: March 29, 2015, 06:51:15 PM
I signed up 1 week ago, but it looks like I'm getting no requests on my Bitrated account (even thought I set the base fee & dispute fee at only 0.5%)
1319  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] LocalBitcoins.com - a location-based bitcoin to cash marketplace on: March 29, 2015, 06:43:44 PM
I just emptied my LocalBitcoins wallet after using them for a while, because LocalBitcoins is not doing enough to protect their users.
1320  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why is no authority after btc-e.com? on: March 29, 2015, 06:30:08 PM
I dont think russia has very strict laws about this.

Maybe Russia is less strict when it comes to AML/KYC, but Russians are not allowed to use Bitcoin

Probably because no one really knows where they are from.
So you can't say they are something illegal if you don't know which laws apply to them.

A UK company named Mayzus Financial Services Limited certainly knows who's behind BTC-e, since they are processing payments for them.
