We're staring a nightly tournament. The details may be changed, but for now it is at 8pm EDT and the buyin is 200+10 chips, which is .21BTC.

The first one, Friday the 21st, will have 2000 chips added.

But someone please tell me how we can be ripped off after the coins are sent. "Humans are evil" isn't really helpful. I thought I was up on what the PP issue was, chargebacks. I'm not saying I can reduce it in a general sense, just that I have a list and source of people I trust. If there is a problem besides chargebacks and human nature, I'm all ears.


Well if you have steady buyers, then service them yourself? Just become the middleman, that way the legit buyers you know will have some sort of insurance if things go wrong. if you are legit.

I don't want to or like to use PP or banks. I'm also not selling coins so I'd need to buy them back somehow. I just want a solution for these people and thought I might find someone here.

I would be willing to sell insurance for part of the markup. This would probably be best as it will keep me conservative with referrals too.

because people by nature are scumbags, who will rip off, cheat, steal, lie, fuck over any 1 for a dollar.

scammers will always scam, rippers will always rip....

I'm at a loss as to how the seller of the coins needs to be trusted. Regardless of that I am looking for a reasonably competent person who can provide service in return for a markup.

I'm considering setting up a modified SecondLife server,  where the currency is bitcoin, the rules/laws are set up by the people, and administrator duties are only to keep it running, allowing the inhabitants to create their own contracts and settle their own disputes. Thoughts/ideas?


It'll get caught up in the whole day trading of bitcoin and you need something super popular to stabilize the price.  If Diablo 3 had decided to use only bitcoin instead of only PayPal, then that would've done it.

Hmmm... considering your avatar is a furry, perhaps you should play on that.  The ideal furry place is where they can roleplay, yiff, and then do really disturbing & bizarre yiff stuff, and then they can leave the world and claim they merely like the art and only 1% of furries are into yiff and they're just a dignified furry not into that.


That would not -stabilize- the price. First it would move it way up as people discovered the development. Then up more as people speculated on how many other large games/companies would accept coins. Then down if time passed and more did not or up if even more if others were getting in.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for stability.

I have access to a stream of (likely) trustworthy buyers, but can't sell to them myself.

I am willing to point them to you for free if I'm convinced you'll service them promptly (like twice a day or more), charge reasonable markup, and always have coins available.

I won't offer a guarantee for free, but we could work something out.

My best guess on volume is an average of $50/day, likely volatile and growing. it would be good to have about 400 coins on hand to start since there may be some pent up demand.

PM me if you are interested.

I've followed your posts in the past and have absolutely nothing against you but this thread is absolute rubbish.

Buying and selling Bitcoins through Paypal is a definite no. A total no-brainer on that one.

Just because you have trustworthy buyers, doesn't mean advertising here will get trustworthy sellers.

Can you tell me more about how someone selling bitcoins and receiving PP can do harm to the other party?

 it is pretty scary to have a transaction in my client and not know where it came from

Lol, for Halloween I'm going to send random people bitcoins. You know, just to scare them.
3228  Economy / Speculation / Re: Apple AAPL topping on: October 19, 2011, 05:56:11 AM
Hmmm...

So they create a phone that sells 4 million units in the first week, and it's called a "miss"?

The price (theoretically) is going to reflect people's expectations, so if the number (whatever number) comes in lower the price will (sometimes) go lower.

Prospects to get X% more by trading does not attract you?

I've been wondering why the 7M coins aren't all on my site. I mean don't people want to win more coins?

Erik, you are awesome!  Now, if someone would just start a free state project in a more temperate state...

Yeah, sign me up for that.
3232  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs - 5BTC Hyper Turbo Freeroll on: October 15, 2011, 05:03:38 PM
Seals is back up and the 5BTC Hyper Turbo is on. If you previous registered you'll need to do register again.
3233  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs - 5BTC Hyper Turbo Freeroll on: October 15, 2011, 03:07:37 PM
Thanks for the status update, glad to see you have prompt messaging to your community Smiley much appreciated.

I have no been able to reach the dev and can still not figure this out. Very sorry, we're going to be down a while longer.
3234  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs - 5BTC Hyper Turbo Freeroll on: October 15, 2011, 08:50:36 AM
Seals is down right now. Emergency downtime for the host caused a problem and my trying to fix it has caused another. Hopefully our admin can fix this in the morning. 
3235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the Occupy movement not immediately embracing bitcoin? on: October 15, 2011, 12:41:18 AM
I think part of the point is that Bitcoins are scarce and that the elite would not be able to create money out of thin air to the detriment of the working class.

I see no reason why the 'elite' (or generally wealthy) could not obtain a lionshare of the Bitcoin just as they can a lionshare of the precious metals, property, bandwidth, or just about anything else.  In fact, I suspect it would be easier with Bitcoin, at least during the high inflation period.


There is a pretty big difference between having a big pile of wealth and having a machine for systematically robbing all productive people indefinitely.

I think it changes the whole world to end that machine. It would take some people out of the parasite business and into doing more desired stuff and it would let the already productive people enjoy their own gains and possible be incentized to produce more.

Sure it would be nice to take back ill gotten gains. But goddamn that would be messy. And if you make one misstep you are essentially a thief.

Monday was fun Free$$.  A lot of players were there, it was pretty cool.  Also, the site has been running great lately!

Thanks Badger. It's always nice playing you.

Don't miss the 5BTC Hyper Turbo Freeroll Saturday 3pm ET.
3237  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: how is this wallet encryption done ? on: October 14, 2011, 05:33:19 AM
I was wondering about this too. Generally is writing over a file a reasonable way to delete the original? I assume not. Can users do anything to make the original more gone?
3238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Fiat Advertising - Earn BTC for every Bitcoin advertising dollar. on: October 14, 2011, 05:15:39 AM
Pretty clever. The top <3 seems wrong any way I read it though. Fiat loves Bitcoin? Or greater than 3 of them?
3239  Economy / Services / Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 4 on: October 11, 2011, 09:25:33 AM
I'll kick it off. 1 spot @ 1BTC.

I don't see it, is this for a week?
3240  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] Buying a poker site skin on a network that serves US players on: October 11, 2011, 09:18:31 AM
Do skins actually handle money? I was under the impression that they were just like, well, the face and skin, advertising/promos. And the 'real' site held and handled the money. If not, then this seems like a reasonable plan.
