I'd like to be whitelisted, please! I sell my baklava on my website at www.mandrik.com! I live in NH as part of the Free State Project and have received btc's as payment in person, either with physical btc's or via a QR code. Here's a silly pic of me holding FRN's in one hand (boo), and a physical BTC, along with a walking liberty silver half dollar, in the other (yeah!). I was cooking at a private club this night and this is how I was paid for orders.  http://www.mandrik.com/btc/kac-pymt.jpgThanks! -Mandrik I was wondering when you'd show up here...  |

Last I heard, they were working with MtGox on this. It might happen once MtGox's merchant tools allow for immediate conversion to USD.

This thread is pointless. A year ago, this may have been an issue. Hell, it was an issue. With everything we have now, however, I feel that if MtGox were shut down at this very moment, the Bitcoin world would move slowly for a few weeks because the existing exchanges would be overwhelmed. But that's all that would happen. After a few weeks, the other exchanges will have fully picked up the slack left behind by MtGox. Any exchange that couldn't keep up would be replaced by the several more that will open. As long we are able to support the other exchanges (that we have now) enough to keep them open, this is a non-issue. All we need is the infrastructure to hold us over for three to four weeks, and I believe we have that.

Did you mean to lock this?  |

How long does it take to get a new provider?
I really hope that he is as honest as i think he is.
Waiting 3 months now to get back a 5 BTC loan I gave him in Dragon's Tale when
he was gambling.
Damn, if you would have said something, you'd have a good portion of that back now. |

Now he wants us to delete this thread, lol. So glad someone quoted the OP.
Could the mods check and see how many accounts do him have? I'm thinking this is yet another scammer who're plaguing the boards again. Yeah, we looked into it. I can only say that the way he was connecting was such that we cannot possibly link him to any other account without several false-positives. Thus, we can't mark him as a scammer for being linked to other scammers, but you should still most definitely stay away. |

Any chance I can get this account free'd from the Noob jail without having to wait 5 hours?
I'm showing that this has already happened. |

You currently do bitcoin://(address) when it should just be bitcoin:(address).
Are they not interchangeable? Most clients seem to respect both. Generally, but as a major wallet provider, you really should respect the standard as far as the output. Of course, your mobile clients can still accept both. |

Since he is continuing to (attempt) to scam (unsuccessfully, so far), does that allow the use of the scammer tag? Or does that require a confirmed successful scam followed by additional attempted scams?
I guess he just met the requirement for his dog tag this scumbag. Indeed. I've just gone ahead and messaged pastory99 for his side of the story. Depending on what I hear, I may need more information from jaybones. |

The URI that the request payment feature outputs doesn't match the standard. You currently do bitcoin://(address) when it should just be bitcoin:(address). See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0021 |

You need to just make 1 post to be able to send PMs.

Replies like that often seem on-topic and reasonable to me. If you don't like them, you can prohibit them in your threads with local rules. This is perfectly reasonable. If someone wants to hide the fact that they're overpricing their merchandise, then they'd be free to do so as long as people are aware that it's going on. Thus, smart sellers would avoid using that rule in order to make them appear more open/honest, sort of like how Woot.com does their daily deals where they encourage people to look up and publicly post other prices. |

The thread will not be deleted. This was your own fault.

This is extremely easily to check, thanks to the "Received Time" feature on Blockchain.info. Comparing that with the block's recorded timestamp, you'll notice that the block timestamps were all fairly accurate. The block timestamp is allowed to be off a bit, but Blockchain.info's Received Time is always accurate, assuming the site was online at the time the block was released.

You're the perfect troll. No, he's really not. If he was, he wouldn't get banned so often. Matthew, I very much prefer this side of you. If you really do feel the need to troll, however, make another account for that trolling. By making it hard on yourself by having to constantly switch accounts, you'll soon get out of the habit of trolling. |

I'm tempted to set my status to hidden now out of spite. I see no reason it should matter if people hide their status' or not.
Please don't. It's actually useful for someone to see when a mod happens to be on. Of course, if you don't want to get a bunch of PMs, then that's probably a smart move. For most other people, unless you're a business, it really doesn't matter at all. |

If you are getting your dividends from TyGrr bank and your money isn't being used to hurt anyone, why does it matter what Goat's exact balance in pirate is, or how he invests the money, for that matter?
As a neutral party, I fail to see the big deal here...
Because if Goat invests too much in Pirate, then the chance of him defaulting if Pirate defaults is almost 100%. In that case, people would much rather just invest in Pirate directly. People are willing to take the lower interest rate from Goat because they trust him more than they trust Pirate. |

No, the guy shut down, sadly.
How did this end up in Mining Support? Anyhow, because it's shut down, I'm moving it to the archive. |

Got it also, from support@okpay.com. The email wording made it sound like someone who was pissed about the account being frozen, but it's very possible it was frozen for legitimate reasons. And definitely hacking their email server is not cool... so I'd reserve judgement either way in this case. Not hacked, just impersonating. If they have a good SPF record, most filters will catch it and delete it. > okpay.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
Non-authoritative answer:
okpay.com text =
"v=spf1 a:mail.regall.net mx:mail.regall.net +all"
> ^That tells mail server to ignore email purporting to be from okpay.com, UNLESS it comes from "mail.regall.net". However, many servers ignore this option, since it was tacked on to the protocol after SMTP was initially created. Actually, because of that +all, it says that all mail servers are valid senders for okpay.com. NEVER put +all in your spf record. That alone says that you should avoid OKPAY at all costs, since their security is likely just as bad. |
