Happy 4th of July everybody; do your best to not blow off your fingers with the mini-explosives, and be careful not to blow off a limb with the bigger ones.

If you're not drunk when you're blowing things up, you're doing it wrong.

I have a deep desire to place a bid and bring this thing home. I can only say that over the past couple months I have wasted way too much BTC on lost raffles, giving things away, and just being an overly generous fellow. Now I'm worried that my BTC stash is being targeted by collectible dealers .01 at a time.

Stay away from my coins, with your cool stuff!

Happy Canada Day, DarkStar_ and the rest of the Canadians around here (or anybody that celebrates the holiday outside of Canada). Thank you for payment on time, and good luck sifting through the stiff competition to find our new adopted sibling.

I would wait to hear from DarkStar_ before you all get too excited. It would have been preferable (I imagine) for the participant to have contacted DarkStar_ directly (privately), and allowed them to move forward as they saw fit.

Only two blocks to go! Good luck to everyone, quoting so krogo doesn't fix the raffle

I'm confused.. What made you believe that Flying Hellfish in particular was following you around? I read through the entire thread, and I can't figure out what would make you point the finger at him in the first place. Conspiracy theorists run awry around here, evidently. I can understand being worried about the ban, as nobody could've expected that ban-trigger nonsense; but what did FH ever do to you?

I will take my lucky "e" slot, if that is alright.

Thank you in advance, krogo.

TPB has ceased their mining operations, and actually I'm pretty sure their instance was more than mere accusations. I think that there was conclusive tests that made it pretty clear that was what was happening. I have no doubt that most of the websites included on that list are going to be shady websites that almost nobody ever visits, but I would be extremely interested to see what kind of sites are using mining software and do receive a decent amount of traffic.

Please let me know what you are able to find. I have extreme difficulty recreating this, but when it happens it always hits me in an uncomfortable place. It has happened on multiple occasions, it never makes sense and whenever I want to recreate it, I have too much trouble.

You're right though, this forum moves at a relaxed pace; takes some time for things to get done.

I have not received my vouch cigarettes as of yet. I also have not received any tracking information; I am still hopeful that something will come of this. OP hasn't been active for a few days, and there is no evidence that anything has been sent, so as of now I have my reservations. I am still patiently waiting, and would happily accept and review the cigarettes if and when they arrive. Just wanted to share a small update with everyone.

So, then I won coin #11 and 1/10th silver coin? Or because you are not accepting our bids on #2, does that mean that I no longer receive the silver coin?
Was hoping to win that #2 slot, but that's alright, MJ deserves it since they have the matching set!

I should've thrown up a bid on those higher # coins as well, they went for next to nothing.

Are you sure the guy above him gets one? I'm pretty sure they are below the threshold for receiving one; unless I am misunderstanding how this works.

I'm extremely confused and suspicious of this. Why did you send this person more than they asked for, without receiving collateral and without providing a repayment address?
What did they do to earn your trust again. What did they do to lose your trust in the first place?

I'll be watching, looking forward to how this ends.

greenplastic, I can't tell if you are trying to steal my coin or just make me snag one of these 1/10th silver coins.

#2 .0042

Does that mean I qualify for one of those silver coins?

Nice, I told you; it's my lucky slot. I've won like 5 of your raffles with that slot. I've only participated in like 10, so it's been treating me well to say the least.

There are a few users that have dealt with plenty of BTC and $ and escrow arrangements such as this regularly. monbux, tomatocage, OGNasty, SebastianJu, and many others are extremely trustworthy escrows. Find somebody on this list, preferably : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0

If someone is willing to fund your loan, why are you not willing to trust them with your collateral?

You have the choice of either handing over your collateral to a trusted escrow, or directly to the lender that is funding your loan. It is quite common that lenders are entrusted with the collateral, since this would make the most sense.

Let me have my lucky "e" spot please!

Thanks for another raffle krogo

What are you doing with the loan funds?
How do you plan to re-pay the loan?
Are you able to offer valid collateral?


How many times are you going to make me ask the same question(s)? I honestly don't care about your failed acceleration service. Refusing to answer simple questions, should be sufficient evidence for anyone considering this to stay away from funding your loan.

You have a total of 5-positive feedbacks and 4-negative feedbacks. One of the negatives is from a DT member, and the positives are from people that are insignificant and their ratings carry no weight. Would you purchase from a seller on any marketplace with 55% positive total feedback? That is a horrendous track record, even if we consider all of your trust ratings (which we shouldn't).

I'll repeat myself, please answer these questions for anybody idiotically considering to fund this loan.

Questions end in, question marks, or "?" that little symbol.


At least I was able to learn a new saying, thank you for that. Very interesting saying.


Refusing to take a loan from me, after I've refused to give a loan to you is extraordinarily inconsequential and pedantic.
"You're fired." "You can't fire me, I quit!"
You do not need a loan from anybody, this is why you haven't provided a reason for needing a loan.


Public discussion is much better for loan-terms; this way everything is verifiable, able to be referenced and recorded.
