More info:
expiration date? issuing bank?
escrow?
Expiration Date: 2017 Issuing Bank: mBank Just a warning, mbank is known to mass freeze cards. As shown on mateo's thread, everyone had their cards frozen. And I had two cards, one lightly used and one never used which I confirm the one which I have used was blocked. I don't have much inside, only $10 USD but that is still a very big loss. Furthermore, I have lost $50 on the cards itself.

You can (most likely) configure your router to configure a port of your choice for each ant miner and to translate this to 421 the default ssh port for the address of the miner. You will probably need static addresses for the antminer.
But hold on, as far as I know it is not possible to change the default root password on the antminer so that this will give anyone who knows your ip address or scans it and discovers the ports, access to your antminers. I suppose that the worst that they can do is reconfigure the pool for payment, and so long as you detected this it may not be too big a problem, but I would want to be careful about this and would not really be too happy about it.
I do not know much about antminer. But you can connect via a VPN and set your antminer to only allow ssh and other access only to that address. I don't know how to do that or whether antminer supports it but it is definitely worth a research.

You guys really think Stunna is losing money too much? Check https://dicebitco.in/, they are 53btc on loss currently. Expected profit is 180btc. In long run casinos make profit, it doesn't matter if they go temporary couple 100btc on loss. And my guess is Stunna is on profit at total. This isn't the first month he is running casino Stunna fund the bankroll himself while dicebitco.in don't need 1000+ BTC to start a casino. They collect commission from users and don't have faucet features while Stunna gave a lot of BTC away for the launch and they also have a faucet features. Do you really think Stunna is so stupid he gave away so much coins he is going to go bankrupt? People can claim faucet as many time as they want, Stunna did not limit any amount of faucet claims. Also, some people have made very good profits on the site which can cause Stunna to lose money. The development costs should already be very high, he also cut people out of his signature campaign which I believe is mostly for this reason.

Ok, so that covers the "stolen gift card" aspect. Now how do you explain him paying other people's debt, handing out btc to people in hardships, or kickstarting a fund with btc that otherwise wouldn't have happened? None of these that I mentioned involved any gift cards that could be potentially stolen like you mentioned. First time I saw him paying someone's debt out of the blue, my jaw just dropped, as I was pretty confused. But then I saw this several more times and figured he was more than generous to help someone out. Are you going to say these are stolen btc too?
Perhaps the people that donate to charity in real life, maybe all these funds are illicit too, right?
The total value of gift cards he's given out is a HELL of a lot more than the total value of these LTC giveaways, handouts and debt repayments he's done. I never said those giveaways/repayments were illicit, they were obviously OK, but I don't believe his story that he's paying for all these gift cards at full price and I suspect something illegal is going on to obtain them which is reasonable considering how common carded gift cards are. Maybe he's just a rich carder/troll but who knows really all we can do is speculate, but you can bet I won't be getting any of those gift cards and people need to be careful. I'd feel a lot less suspicious if he gave a reasonable explanation as to how he's obtained so many gift cards from many different websites, but thus far he hasn't he just claims he buys them for cash at full price and is giving them away for a fraction of the cost. How do you know? I don't see any loss on the buyer side as they either pay wayyyy below the market price for each of the gift card and he even have some of them for free. So far, no one have reported a single problem out of a lot of buyers. I believe the gift card he gave is lesser than the total amount he gave out in those coins. I personally have received more than $100 of the coins out of the blue. I can see that he have given out more than that amount of individual users and the community. If he starts scamming people, the person would most probably report it and people would spam him negative trust and stop buying from him. It only take one trade $5-10 to ruin a $1000++ perfect trade history.

I suggest you to register at blockchain.info you will get user name and password, i think it most safety wallet to store bitcoin hopefully you will satisfied ...
It cannot be considered safe. Username and password authentication is probably one of those which can be easily exploited by attackers. Since it is a online service, anyone who have your username and password can steal your coins. Hackers can easily obtain your username and passwords by malware or keyloggers.

Am I the only one noticing an enormous decrease in the post activity in this thread. I guess Stunna's actions are having a positive effect already.
Positive effect as in less posts here. But that also mean less posts around the forum. Personally I've noticed fewer and fewer sigs (which is normal) but they seem to be disappearing completely.. To be honest, I have seen a huge decrease in Primedice signatures around, or more specifically, a decrease in people who post with paid signature campaign. I personally see lesser constructive post made from members after Stunna made the cut. I believe people aren't so motivated to post in the forum after so many campaigns that stopped accepting new participants. That's a good thing. People should be posting here because they are interested in bitcoins or other crypto currencies instead of posting to earn some money. There were loads of meaningless posts made all over the forum which poluted Bitcointalk.org imo. The meaningless posts consist of duplicates which can be reported and non constructive posts which could be deducted from the total post of claim. The fact that there is a little money earned means that people would be spending more time here ,voice their opinions and discuss on topics. This can also be a good thing.

Do we really need to pay now mods for getting help, if the so promised guarantee to get back to you within 12 hours doesn't work? Micro was probably just kidding. He is pretty open to help the community as you can see from his activity on BTCtalk. I personally don't think it is nice to bother people about small issues that isn't in his range of control. He may not like people to bother him on Skype though, you can always contact the support for most of the issues.

Maybe this will work :
You open a second account (use gmail) then you just lend your bitcoins to your second account and get them ?
To get a loan, you need your identity fully verified. BTCjam does not let you verify it twice so it wouldn't work. You also don't know if OP is banned from his account or it is only a issue with the server.

You should sell your mining hardware and buy bitcoins with the gain, in my opinion you will earn much more coins in this way.
It all depends. If you are lucky to have cheap electricity and lots of space... and can mine with profit.... why not? Most don't mention it but you can do both trade and mine. Yes mining is dead for most on GPU/CPU. But depending on electricity asic mining is very much alive. Not really even with loads of space and cheap electricity, difficulty would be rising too fast. You need a large sum of money and to take risk as the faster you get the most efficient ASIC available, the more probability you would have to ROI. That involves preordering which have a lot of risk as the manufacturer may not ship the device. You also need to risk the device malfunctioning and manage your cooling. It is very hard to find space, cheap electricity and money.

It is considered pseudo-anonymous. With casual usage, it is not very anonymous at all. Transactions occur between cryptographic addresses and anyone can create any number of these addresses. However, Bitcoin transactions can be traced back to your IP address
Bitcoin transactions cannot be traced back to your IP address. Bitcoin transactions are broadcasted across nodes and only the node's IP address which first relays the transaction is displayed. They can be broadcasted using a shared wallet so the IP address is not accurate. Unless you state your IP address somewhere along with your address, no one can find out about your IP address. Also, if you are paranoid about this, you can always use tor to broadcast your transactions.

It can be considered as partially. You do not need verifications to create addresses and use them. You do not have to state your name or expose your private keys when making purchases. However, since all the transactions can be seen on the blockchain, if the address can be linked back to you by sources, people can monitor your activites. Using a new address for each purchase and using a mixing service can easily migrate this kind of risks.

Not even the manufacturer of the ATM can guarantee the safety of your private key. I have seen wireless devices fitted with a pinhole camera above the keypad, transmitting video feed to someone sitting more that 50 meters away. {The pinhole camera was fitted onto a fake panel, stuck to the ATM housing}
Video was recorded and the person followed and pick pocketed to get the card. {They then just quickly watched the video and got the pin code and they draw the maximum amount of fiat from the card}
The same can be done with Bitcoin ATM's {Because odd panels, would not be easily spotted}
I saw screen captures of the device, and it was perfectly designed. {You would never have spotted it} I still have it somewhere, I will search for it and post it here.
My final verdict, nope it's not 100% safe.
If what you have written here is true then it means purchasing BTC from an ATM is out rightly not safe. In the bitcoin world, people uaually have a "guilty until proven innocent" stance, and so it is IMO a good idea to first consider your bitcoin bought from ATM not 100% safe. You could sweep the address and send the bitcoin to your personal wallet ASAP. Is this the best option to purchasing from an ATM? Generally, most of the ATM scans your wallet address QR code and when you purchase, they would send the coins to your address. No private key is exposed to the third party this way. However, if you generate a wallet from the ATM, there is no guarantees they would not be keeping the logs of the private key. If one day, it gets exploited, your private key would get exposed and you would lose your coins unless you have spent all of them. It is generally better to get the funds out of the paper wallet first as the paper wallet would be exposed to a third party(ATM) already.

I am not really bothered by such stuff because i do not visit such sites no matter the offer on ground.
You have to visit one of those site no matter what. Every single casino and exchanges give you an address to deposit but not a private key(obviously). When using such services, you have to deposit your coins into the account first and the wallet is usually shared. The database would update automatically whenever a deposit, bet and withdrawal is made so the coins would be sent to a shared wallet first. When you request a withdrawal, the system would then send your withdrawal from a shared address. A good idea would be putting small amounts into the service or placing the BTC there for a short term. This migrates much of the risk.

What do you mean same day? You can buy BTC as much as you want as long as you have FIAT in LocalBitcoins
Same day means that the coin will be exchanged without delays. Usually for exchanges, they need time to transfer the funds and it can take up to a week. Localbitcoin may not be the same day since it may take some time for user to arrange a meetup to exchange BTC. It depends on the spare time the buyer and seller have usually.
