That's not concern for my safety. That's concern for the safety of your assets.

It's also a valid question. TheMadHatter is getting personal, telling me not to keep drugs in my house, calling me an amateur, telling me that my business is doomed to fail because of fake complaints, etc. That kind of stuff has no business being said publicly if done out of genuine concern. Otherwise, it's just pot-stirring. I can take criticism but I take issue with TheMadHatter trying to act as if he isn't motivated by his own personal agenda.

But to answer your question, yes. If I'm imprisoned/killed, my partner will take over. If we are both are out of commission then my lawyers will be able to shut down the business and settle all current debts.

Even better, why not send me your concerns for my safety in private? What's your desire to criticize me publicly if you're not trying to shake confidence in my business? I just find it odd that the only other cash-by-mail Bitcoin exchange has such a keen interest in my safety while nobody else does. Maybe it's because you have a unique perspective but by making it public, it looks more like professional jealousy.

Because it's a new feature and is still being tested.


There was an error with your bid, either you didn't have enough funds to cover it or you formatted it wrong.


Those pages don't have any content yet. I'm still working on it.

I haven't received any funds since the new website was launched but back before it was automated the largest transaction was $1,000 in $100 bills. It's best to use security envelopes with the cash wrapped in something like magazine pages. Also, please don't put our business name on the envelopes.

Again, what's to stop them from doing the same to you or any other business? Nothing. I'm not unique.


I should have been more specific. There are no extra relevant laws other than filing fees, etc. Can you show me how any of those laws matter other than worrying about filing fees, etc? Please provide a single example of a law (please provide a link as well) that would convince me that it would be better not to be an LLC. Right now, you're just being too vague.


That's not what he was arrested for. He was arrested for circulating metal coins as currency which is a federal crime. He was not arrested for undermining fiat currency even if that's why the politicians were up in arms. The law is what matters.


That's because I don't do illicit drugs.


How are they going to stop Blizzard or any other MMORPG from having scarce items, which create value, without ruining the game itself? It's not possible. You should also look into "Linden Dollars" which is actually given an exchange rate by the company that runs the game Second Life.


Yes I have. Like I said, I've talked to a lawyer and was advised that my business is legal.


In which case, I will immediately shut down my business since I'm not about to break any laws. However, it's currently legal and that's what matters.


What do you mean, "as far as I can tell"? Either you know or you don't know. What laws can you cite?


Businesses have the same legal rights as people in the United States.

Anyways, this is getting stale and isn't very productive. Please don't worry about me anymore. I'm not really interested in this debate.

Assuming there are no fake complaints, the percentage of accidental losses in the mail will be very small, not enough for me to get a bad reputation. If there is active theft on the part of the postal employees, I'll be aware of it and will be able to take action. As for fake complaints, I don't think many people have much of a reason to do that but that's really just a risk that any business faces, even yours.


There are no more laws that I have to follow as an LLC than as a private individual. It actually offers me protection from being sued personally for my assets.


The same can be said for any form of payment. As long as I'm not actively encouraging illegal activity and had no prior knowledge of it, I'm in the clear.


I've read up on it extensively. The laws he violated only apply to metal coins. Otherwise, people would be getting arrested for WoW gold since it has value, can be used for drug deals, to undermine fiat currency, etc.

I'm more worried about my freedom than you are. Thanks for your concern but I've got things under control.

I hope you'll consider adding our market to your stats. What kind of API do you require to do that?

I would suggest Dropbox as others have. However, if you're looking for a website to store your coins on, our website bitcoin2cash.com uses encrypted backups to multiple cloud services. With any website though, you are putting your trust into them.

This probably isn't the best place for this discussion. I've started a thread prior to this one that introduced the service which probably would be a better place. However, since you've posted here, I'll respond here. You're welcome to repost in the other thread and I'll repost my response too.


It's just as easy to claim that you never received cash even though you did as it is to claim you sent cash even though you didn't. I'm also assuming that the people that are using my service are interested in the greater anonymity that cash provides and therefore understand the risks and accept them. Otherwise, they would just use some other exchange that is more convenient. I'm trying to fill a niche.


I told everyone not to put our business name on the envelopes for two reasons, one, obviously, "cash" on the front of an envelope is going to draw eyeballs. Secondly, however, the P.O. box isn't registered under the business name, so the employees don't see the word "cash" either, which means there's a strong chance that the mail will get returned if you put the name on there. Some people didn't follow directions and therefore it seems unfair to blame me. I've put instructions on the website so hopefully it will be more clear to everyone.


You can definitely be sure of that. The same problem goes with sending mail too if you're using the same outgoing mailbox repeatedly.


I've already talked to a lawyer. I'm an LLC because there is no use trying to hide from the government, especially since I'm not breaking any laws. Also, an LLC gives people more reason to trust me. For legal purposes the business is an online seller of digital goods. Just like selling WoW gold isn't illegal, neither is selling Bitcoins.

Of course, there are legal risks since no real precedent has been set but that's a risk I'm willing to take. I'm prepared to fight for my rights. If anyone wants to support me please send a donation to my Bitcoin address in case of needed future legal defense.

Good luck finding work. I think the bitcoin labor market is saturated with us kind of people right now.

There are no commission fees at bitcoin2cash.com. There are only shipping and handling fees if you request to have cash mailed to you. So, buying Bitcoins with cash is completely free.

Who is more likely to be mistaken, some guy that hasn't been studying Bitcoin for very long and came up with some objections off the top of his head or the entire Bitcoin community that has been debating the merits of the system for over a year? I think you should do some more research before making wild accusations.

I have 5000 BTC that I will sell but only on bitcoin2cash.com marketplace.

Intellectual property is partial theft of real property. Nobody owns information.

No, he's just lamenting over the fact that he joined after this thread was created and is therefore ineligible. Unfortunately, I have to do that to prevent the same people from repeatedly creating new accounts.

Which would create another gold rush as mining has just become even more valuable. Driving up demand is probably the worst way to shut down a market since it only encourages new suppliers to enter the market.

Here's the current work-in-progress order book -> https://www.bitcoin2cash.com/orders.php

Well, I'm not sure exactly how those two URL's differ or why that's even possible but as things are, I create a salted hash of the URL to identify you when you login.

However, you can easily withdraw your BTC from your account directly to the other account to consolidate things.

The addresses don't change. They are reused. The only way you could get two different addresses is if you ended up with two different accounts and the only way that could happen is if you logged in with two different OpenID URL's, such as using HTTP instead of HTTPS or vice versa or appending extra data to the string. Case doesn't matter though and neither should the trailing backslash i.e. aol.com and aol.com/ are equivalent. If you can figure out what you changed then you should be able to log in to the other account and recover your funds. Let me know if you can't figure it out and we'll escalate things until the problem is resolved.

It should only take one confirmation. Let me get to the bottom of it for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: According to http://blockexplorer.com/address/1AJ2v6cRtewhGwR6MfNNDhSjGQc45eZhbv there hasn't been anything sent to your address. What address did you send to?
