Interac Zero Liability Policy

The Interac Zero Liability protects you when using Interac debit services*. You will not be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions. See your financial institution for details.

* Interac Debit, Interac Flash, Interac Cash, Interac Online and Cross-Border Debit


In addition, merchants who offer the Interac Online service must comply with the Canadian Code of Practice for Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, endorsed by federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for consumer affairs in 2004.  It establishes benchmarks for good business practice for merchants engaged in commercial activities with consumers in the online world.
I have more research to do because I doubt that merchant has no liability... I will try to call my bank next week.

I'm a bit mad because last summer before the BFL announcement I was planning to build a 200+ GPU mining farm. (I had access to very cheap electricity and financing) I've put my project on hold and now it look like at best their company is completely unprofessional or at worst another huge scam. Even if I did not pre-order any ASIC they probably costed me some potential profit.

/end rant

It sucks for those who pre-ordered, I wish they will receive their ASIC somehow.

Anyone has experience with this system? Is it chargeback proof?

How can I protect myself from hackers doing fraudulent transfer?

Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.

Big online poker sites in (or available to) the U.S. ran for several years before the U.S. government decided to crack down. The same thing could easily happen to Satoshi Dice, though I don't know how a crackdown could be done.
Seizure of the ".com" domain. A ".co.uk" domain name for example is better suited since online gambling is legal in the UK.

What I like most is that he uses cool Cryptography and more and more people will learn about that technology.

How would they get all bitcoins in the world if I don't even play?

Edit: I see your point but I think gamblers will lower their bets if bitcoins get more scarce and valuable. Then dividend and share price will find equilibrium between their lower price and higher bitcoins value.

If we do nothing and the worse happens, then we all here could be charged with a crime.

Oh really?  What crime would we be committing? 
Terrorism, conspiracy to commit crime, use of computers, obstruction of justice bowels.

I might be wrong but playing online poker is legal in most US jurisdiction because it's a skill game. Online gambling like Satoshi dice is illegal at federal level because it's pure gambling and banned by the Wire Act. Some states specifically ban online poker but most don't. Funding poker account via the US banking system is illegal because of the UIGEA.

Satoshi dice might fall in a grey area since it's legal to gamble online with playmoney and Bitcoin might not be considered real money. You don't need to fund your account via the US banking system either.

I'm not a lawyer but I was a pro poker player for 6 years.
Isn't it illegal to gamble with anything of value though?  Bitcoin certainly has value...
I'm not a lawyer so this is only my opinion. There is no court precedent concerning Bitcoin and online gambling that I know of. Should this issue be brought to court by the DOJ; I can only speculate that you are right and they will probably view monetary value into Bitcoin.

Peut-être que la barrière de la langue fait que moins d'utilisateurs s'y intéressent. La majorité de la documentation de qualitée est en anglais. Je crois qu'un plus grand % de personne maitrise l'anglais dans les pays scandinaves versus France, Italie et Espagne. Je n'ai aucune idée pour l'Europe de l'Est mais c'est probablement aussi le cas.

I tried Electrum for the first time yesterday. I needed to sign a message with Bitcoin and didn't want to download the Blockchain. I was suprised how fast and effecient Electrum is. Good job!
