I'm interested in a set or two as well, but I have a few questions.

1) Will you be shipping immediately after we place the order? Or does it have some sort of extended wait?
2) Have you found a suitable escrow agent yet? I'm fairly cautious about anyone selling hardware, as even well known companies have given customers the shaft.
3) Do these run off of standard computer PSUs, or do you have to buy the Assessory kit?

wangbus is not a admin at this forum? but hes only doing external work and not part of this forum.

He's staff now apparently. I'm sure it'll cause some confusion and complaints when people see a newbie on staff  Grin.

Hes was probably made a staff member so people would stop mistaking him as an imposter making a joke (myself included)

What would the shipping be for shipping to europe from where you are located? what coins have you got left and are you planning on selling more in the future if some person buys the ones you have now?

As far as selling more in the future, I dont know. I just had a few coins on hand, if I get some more in and decide to sell them, yes.  Shipping to Europe from the U.S runs from 0.015 BTC for standard first class shipping, to 0.10 BTC if you want priority mail express. I have thought about organizing group buys or reselling Casascius coins if Casascius opens up shop again, only time will tell if he does or if I do though. I'm not much a fan of selling or buying things I don't physically have in hand which is a problem with group buys.

Customs declaration would be stated as collectable token valued at current silver spot price and would ship out tomorrow if you are interested.

I just asked for more information, your site despite whether you have the theme license or not, does fall under copyright infringment. Bumface, your legal recourse involves you contacting the theme creator and the company that is providing hosting for the continuum site.

This thread will be locked until you two have come to a solution, as the forum does have a position to enforce copyright infringment where we see fit. Users may continue to discuss Cointinuum, however no official announcement will be allowed at this time until you two have worked something out, the official continuum site's design changes, or bumface files suit and the suit fails.


*edit* The thread has been unlocked as bitsta has agreed to take down the current site design and create their own.

bumbface, did you have a developer from envato marketplace build the site for you, or did you purchase the site license and then have an individual build it for you?

i had a guy build this custom for me,based on this template.i have paid him 5 btc+ 100000 UTC .he has coded this in html personally,based on the content i have written myself.

i am protecting my investment at all costs.

Would you mind pming me who to contact to confirm that your site was made by them?

this is a joke! he could say everybody! just anybody could have done this. i can send you even the email of the guy made our webiste! and telephone number if you want!



From the site where the template was purchased from. I do believe that you took the site design from Ultracoin as the source shows a literal copy and paste from the ultracoin site to yours, I checked which site was produced and created first, which was the ultracoin one. I dont care about the coin amount that bumface paid, but you are indeed in violation of multiple copyright laws, and I will request that you change your site design.

*edit* also no, bitsta wouldn't go to jail for using your website design, but the domain registrar and company hosting for their website will take it down if they dont.
1872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [INFO] CONTINUUM COIN [CTM] - information thread on: February 17, 2014, 08:07:46 PM
I actually just happened across this, and have come to the opinion that Bumface is indeed the rightful owner of the site. If you can prove to me that the site is indeed a public template, thats one thing, but reviewing the source code, I do not find that to be the case.

If it was indeed taken from Bumface's Ultracoin site, I will ask that you take it down or you will not be able to keep this thread on Bitcointalk. Bista, please provide where you got the template from.

hi admin,

the text was in fact like the same, but we used a template i can send you likn no problem. bumface said he got the website made custom for him (from scratch)! he s a liar!!!!!
i can prove!!!!

and if you think you are right, maybe taking money from him to make us pressure than delete this thread! we don't steal nothing!!!! ok! we use templates when they exist! this is all! but we are not liars or stealers! bumface want us to pay license i know thats the reason he is making this!!!

Bumface linked where he got the general template from which is not public, it is owned by envato marketplace who charges a $15 site license for a single use of their template. If he then hired envato marketplace to produce the site for him, bumbface is indeed the legal owner of the site and its content.

Now had you found a free default website theme and then modified it yourself, that would be fine, but your code is essentially line for line the exact same as ultracoin's website which I do believe was built by envato marketplace which involved a site license and a fee.

Are all staff members donators to then? why aren't they expressing their opinons on the donation funds?

We have tried to make that argument before, however most of us just don't care anymore. If the donators/VIPs that physically donated Bitcoins rather than time want to complain about their donations, they can. Moderators weren't paid until April of 2013, and in the early days, many of those "paychecks" were like $2-50 per month. It has scaled with ad revenue, but I actually did a fairly in depth calculation proving that most moderators are indeed at the very least donators when this issue first came up mid last year. (Issue being why Staff are allowed in the donator section, where I tried to prove that Staff were also donators, but just of time rather than BTC)

There is context to it, however I don't quote other people in private sections without permission, so you will just have to infer a bit.


Well I'm going to make a quick guestimate and then address what I highlighted. I will say, that I am a fairly new moderator compared to the others, so there are some that could say far more than me, and others that are newer than me as well, but I'd just like to use myself as an example to better exemplify what I mean, because I don't know the statistics of the other Mods I can only speak about myself. The first Mod payment was in April, and I being a fairly new moderator joined the team in November of 2012. Minus about 5 days in November I joined the team, I've been a moderator for roughly 5 months before recieving payment. In that time, I put roughly 8 days of work in. I got that number based on my days logged in between then and now which came out to roughly 16 days I've spent logged on between November and now, I then divided that by 2 just for the sake of argument, because I'm sure I have not been on duty at all times when logged on. So 8 days x 24 hours means 196 hours of actual time spent moderating. I think federal minimum wage (in the U.S anyway) is around $7 per hour. So had this been a paying job, that would be at the very least $1372 (196 x $7). Between November until April, BTC prices ranged from $11 to $80 aproximately based on Bitcoincharts. Taking the integral of that chart, I found that the average BTC price between that time period is $25.40. When I take the hours donated and gave a minimum wage paycheck to it (because you are considering this a paying job) that is $1372/$25.4 BTC, and that comes out to a total of 54.0157 BTC worth of time donated. Of course like I said, this is a very very rough figure, but I wanted to put it into perspective.

As I have mentioned before and before again, I am a new moderator technically, I'm still asking the older moderators, global moderators, and theymos questions on what sort of protcol I should follow in unfamiliar cases very frequently. Now imagine those that put in far more hours than me, because they have been moderators for years, and then consider that had we backed up the timescale a few months, the average price of Bitcoins would have dropped dramatically. I'm honestly not trying to say that I haven't appreciated the time I have spent helping out, but had I not enjoyed being a moderator, and helping the community to the best of my ability, I could have worked those hours at a McDonalds and made enough $ to buy the BTC to donate to the forums for a VIP tag, and still have some left.

I'm not trying to say I feel entitled to anything, I'm just trying to quantify using a fairly rough estimate showing that I personally have donated a fairly reasonable amount of time that could be considered the BTC to become a VIP. I'm not trying to argue with you, as I don't really feel inclined to, I don't have a problem with you either Goat, I'm just trying to put past the misconception that we are paid an hourly wage for the jobs we do (Some moderators more than others get called on that very often, and it does fray at the nerves, because people don't tend to understand that it wasn't a requested thing, and no one signed up for the pay). I'm not trying to say we really do or don't deserve to have access to the donator section, as honestly this is probably the second time in all of those months that I've come here, so I'm not really that opinionated on the matter, the thread name just caught my attention while scrolling.

As for what I bolded, I can't speak much as to your deleted posts. That would have to be either a Global Moderator or an Admin, but I'm sure more or less the same rules that apply to the rest of the forums apply to the donator section as well, it just serves to get the people who are more heavily staked in Bitcoins together, so they can talk amongst themselves rather than being interupted by the people who don't need to be in the conversation. If you are talking about Psy insulting you in this thread, I don't know, I'm not Psy. If I had to take a guess, it would have to be about you and many others not fully understanding the Mod payment thing, as I said earlier, people throw that in our faces a lot and it really gets old, especially when people don't really know much about it.

My point is, we get called on the payment thing quite a bit. Its a tip, not a paycheck. We aren't employees, its a "thank you for helping out this month, get yourself a nice dinner" sort of thing.
1875  Other / Meta / Re: [Suggestion]: make a suggestion forum on: February 17, 2014, 04:15:23 PM
That would be meta, which this thread is posted in.
I'd appriceate an argument as to why not have a suggestion forum, as I said in my previous post meta is not only about suggestions and it's not like it would hurt the site to have sub forum about only suggestions - it would actually help the site instead with more people comming with sugesstions.


Because suggestions already fall under Meta. Its like having a subforum for people selling CDs, its not needed, as it already falls under the "Goods" section.
1876  Other / Meta / Re: It's Time For Theymos To Kill The Alt Section on: February 17, 2014, 05:57:23 AM
nah he aint gonna do jack shit.
I'd bet on this one.

People seem not to comprehend that the Alt Coin section isn't here to benefit the alt coin communities, its to keep their conversations out of the rest of the boards. If the Alt Currency section is removed, then the spam then floods the rest of the boards (more than it is now)
Keeping it is no solution either. The forum is just becoming a mess.

The question is are we worse off with or without it. My bet would be on without it. If even 1% of the content in Alt Currencies posted daily was posted outside of alt currencies, it would be a living hell. We already have people posting where they shouldn't, what would keep everyone from doing so if there wasn't a better place for them to post?

I'll take it at .15 BTC if you are willing to escrow or ship first. I'd like an hour or two to test it to make sure it is not defective, and payment would be sent or released shortly after.

Ask for more. You're not asking enough for that sexy siliver coin.  The brass ones you can toss away. Not a fan. Smiley

Heh, the brass one as well as two gold/silver have sold, the silver is the only one left. If the price was too low, then it would have sold by now. I however do not think it is too high.

Bump, I'm open to trade as well as BTC/Cash payment. Just a single Silver 1 BTC Coin remaining.
