Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig. He peddles in illegal stolen wares. He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations. Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law. Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.
Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses? Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?
Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.
Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag. I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.
You are ignoring the fact that Megaupload gave entertainment companies direct access to Megaupload's servers, allowing copyright owners to delete infringing content themselves. Megaupload also deleted content if you filed a DMCA complaint, so your arguments are completely baseless and your name-calling is also not appropriate. Do you have a solid source for this? I find it hard to believe they gave companies direct access though I'm sure they complied with DMCA notcies as would most file hosting sites. I've read it on an article about a year or two ago, but Kim Dotcom also created a whitepaper in which he states: http://kim.com/whitepaper.pdfPage 4, Last paragraph: While Megaupload systematically responded to countless DMCA take-down notices, it went even
further to guard against copyright violations. It voluntarily gave major copyright holders direct
access to its servers to remove links they considered to be infringing – without any oversight by
Megaupload – and without requiring them to follow statutory take-down notice procedures. My previous post is incorrect though, they gave direct access to delete links, but not data. I presume this is the reason that they lost the court case, as the DMCA actually requires you do delete the data, not just block access to it. |

Lack of transaction reversals How is this a bad thing? Bitcoins are not like credit cards, you don't have to give out sensitive data to make a transaction. I've heard of a dozen stories about merchants going out of business simply because of chargeback fraud, it is a problem that everyone seems to ignore. Imagine that you sell digital goods such as CD keys and some dude across the globe does a chargeback after he used the CD key, good luck getting your money. |

Armory 0.93 does not work for me, I though it was due to Armory being on a fuse NTFS partition on Debian ( thread), but even on an ext4 partition it fails to sync and also fails at building the database  . This is the only error that seems relevant: 2015-02-26 09:46 (ERROR) -- Traceback (most recent call last):

As others have suggested, I will try the old Armory 0.92.3 with the previous Bitcoin-core. |

still need more
This guy is a scammer and he's alt account is gate11 . DO NOT TRUST. Do you have any evidence of this? I'm not up here to show any evidence of anything since he tell me to download teamviewer and I did. ( I dont have conversations between us my Skype don't save them and we talked over teamviewer chat too) Why should I lie ? I did send him https://blockchain.info/es/address/1P7gsbyDeKTgwrpEC5TduNRGbZV5abuv5D while he was watching my temviewer to check if the " Numbers change after transaction " I didn't able him to use my mouse and stole my coins. After that he went off the teamviewer. He said he has Neteller $. Never heard back again from him. And seems like that transaction stucked my account for real and I can't even send a single coin from it now. Sorry for your loss... but why the hell would you let anyone remote access your computer for a trade  . |

You're correct, I've found the old bootstrap.dat but I also found hidden .fuse_hidden files one of which was 28GB. I'll reformat the disk to ext4, I believe the fuse NTFS is causing other problems as well which I had prior to this which I have no explanation for, such as not properly syncing and also getting stuck on the initialization and also stuck building the database... |

Hello,
how much disk space does Armory 0.93 require? I have Armory+Bitcoind on a separate 80GB disk and they used all the available space.

Get in Line
 That could work I guess (I mean for the note saying "received goods" ) .
But one question , the funds are on your Paypal account or from a Credit card related to your Paypal account ? because Credit card payment can be easily chargebacked if you contact the Company . (Payoneer ,Neteller, etc ... ) .
~ Madness
My funds are from linkbucks.com, I do not have any credit card or bank account associated with my PayPal. I can also prove it with screenshots in a pm, from both PayPal and Linkbucks. |

Hello, I'd like to buy Bitcoins with my PayPal account. I have 40$ at my disposal and would like to buy at the current market rate. I've been referred here from my previous thread in the Beginner & Help section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=964750.0 . If you are a trusted member then I will go first and send via. gift or normal send with a note stating "I received the goods." (your choice). If you are not a trusted member and would like to sell me your BTC then you will have to organize an escrow or go first. I'd be more comfortable doing multiple small transactions ~10$ rather than doing the whole thing at once, as I've never done this before. EDIT: Spent 5$, so only have 40$ left. |

That's pretty risky for the seller of BTC though and I don't think anyone would sell to me, but I'll try. Hi I'm new to Bitcoin and I've been looking around on the internet on how to buy Bitcoins with my PayPal account. So far the only website that seems to offer this is Virwox and they have insane fees (15%  ). Does anyone have experience with buying Bitcoins with PayPal? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Yeah , most of people don't like Virwox just because of the fees . I searched little bit and here what I've found : https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/paypal/Also you have this website Bitcoin Insanity , I found it on the bitcoin wiki . never used it tho : http://www.bitcoininsanity.com/~ Madness I also found Bitcoin Insanity, the fees are around 20% at the current prices (even higher than Virwox). So if you buy the 25$ option you only get around 20$ worth of Bitcoins. They also do not actually offer PayPal as a payment method when you go to the checkout, despite what they write on their home page. |

Is there any way I can guarantee the other person in the trade that I can not charge back?
I read something about PayPal notes in the past where you had to go first + write a note that you have received the item without actually having received it. Does anyone know more about this?
EDIT: This would of course be done with escrow, but I have no idea how escrow works with Bitcoins. Also, thanks for the replies!

There are a few people offering Bitcoins at around 300 $ at localbitcoins but unfortunately none at the current market price...
Yeah I suppose the best would be to withdraw the money and use wire transfer but it is quite a hassle and my PayPal is not connected to my bank either.
