It is our full intention to pay back any legitimate deposits or winnings. It is not our intention to pay the amount listed in your account if something is recorded in error either accidentally or by malice. We will attempt to notify when appropriate, but there is no guarantee on that either.
The nature of cash business on the internet is such that we often may not want to report to a scammer or cheater how we know that they stole. This could make their next attempts harder to detect.
Will adding the ability to record an address to pay the funds from idle accounts fix that issue? We are not going to keep unused accounts in our system forever.
I am not just an employee with this site. It has my full backing. I will always try to do what is right and best for the players and site.
Feel free to ask more questions.
Well you should word it better than it currently is.... sounds like a huge scam. I agree it needs reworded to emphasize that legitimate funds will be paid and reasonable notice and explanation will be given if at all possible. |

I put up an ad for SealsWithClubs.org last night, very smooth. I even made a mistake and fixing it was easy. I am surprised how fast my impressions are being used up 15k in about 8 hours. I guess this is because people hit the site over and over looking for the jackpot? I have gotten some clicks though.

Meh, the forum isn't about Politics either, but it makes sense to have a place to talk about it if people want.
Though I guess a line should be drawn somewhere. We don't need a Pokemon subforum.

Another thing to keep in mind is that what used to be 'news' and interesting to bitcoiners has changed a lot. It was huge to me when the first gambling and then first poker site came out, now even a new exchange is like "whatever, we'll see what comes of it".
There can't really ever be endless big news because what feels big will just change. I think things are progressing just fine. Each big wave of new people contains a few gems that will do something great and that lures in the next wave.

Options on BTC-to-fiat exchange rates (coming soon from both MtGox and TradeHill apparently)
Cash-settled futures and options on commodities (everything from precious metals to oil and soybeans) priced/settled in BTC
Agreed options will let much more information get priced with much lower transactions cost and much less money tied up to express the same positions. |

To bad the average joe doesn't know any better and maybe actually doesnt want to know any better cause this system works for him.

Yeah, average Joe doesn't care if there is another site using a traditional payment method providing the same thing. The more unique the product is the more motivated Joe will become. And once he becomes motivated to figure it out one time it'll be easier the next.

I wouldn't do this if I thought it would hijack your thread, FreeMoney.
Rather, I reckon posting might help to motivate a seller to come forth, by showing the demand exists:
I am buying Bi-Lo gift cards too.
Haha, no problem, I can outbid you.  |

Its actually a basic reaction if they are forced to switch to something totally new.
I mean this is basically what happens if for instance Amazon switches to Bitcoins only.
They will lose to much customers cause all people think like the following:
Joe: Why would I use bitcoin?
You: Cause you don't have to pay fees wich you do with paypal.
Joe: I don't care, I just want to buy Call of duty, not start a Bitcoin study.
You: Well, then your stupid.
Joe: Ok, I am not going to Amazon to buy Call of duty, ill buy else were, where i can at least pay with Paypal.
People are not interested in a new pay method, there interested what they want to buy.
And if they cannot pay, they will buy it else were and not think: "oh shit I want to buy here, i will start my Bitcoin study now".
If a thing is very widely provided and the customer has a preference against bitcoin they will likely go elsewhere, people with somewhat unique products are the ones who have the best chance at converting reluctant customers. |

Nice.
I bet you don't lose 99% of current customers at all. But if you do, getting 99% more would be a cinch!
P.S. F PayPal.
edit: just looked, people not too happy over there. Are these people who were actually paying much?

I think they want to help people whose human rights are being abused. I doubt they are interested in the price of gold - if it goes up becasue less people being abused then I'm sure they would be equally happy. Here's the bitcoin donation link http://protestbarrick.net/article.php?id=764 Sure, I guess I had another dubious assumption: that a higher gold price would lead to more people doing more dodgy things trying to get gold. /end sidetrack from good thread. |
