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. 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 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?

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.

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.
