You of course don't need the bitcoin daemon running all the time unless you are mining solo. If you are solo then look into the flag -nolisten or something similar. I may be incorrect but I would assume if you don't accept incoming connections you won't be relaying data. You might be able to tell the daemon to listen on a nonstandard port if -nolisten isn't available.

@Bit-tired, if you have an accusation make it & be detailed about it. Otherwise post a dino.

There ya go lying again. It wasn't entirely your fault. Jeremy posted above that he had a little mixup with the email addresses.

That should be http://blockexplorer.com/address/1HDwpqaYw6uNz1Syy7ZM2VTbbipFTF1fim

Well, we just have a difference of opinion. Although I would have to agree that GLBSE is not the SEC and I don't think it pretends to be.

I have yet to see evidence that GLBSE has committed any sort of fraud. I believe fraud requires intent. Maybe negligence was what you were looking for? But I still would not agree that GLBSE has been negligent either.

I don't think anyone here is going to convince you otherwise, sorry you feel that way.

+1 Good advice

And yes, there is no prohibition on newbies trading in newbie subforum. Just a little unwise though to expect to find willing traders who will exchange a non-reversible currency for a reversible product/currency without a reputation or history of successful trades.

But you are welcome to try.

Yea, I just can't seem to find any evidence of GLBSE committing fraud there.


You listed one of these companies returning capital to the investors on your blog.

You are a little too new. Care to share some reputation and successful trades? If you are anxious to get your hands on some BTC I would suggest buying some first and get to be known in the community before jumping straight to selling something the same day you register.

I came late, could you please point me to where you proved GLBSE committed fraud or swindled anyone? I am sure you have evidence supporting this claim.

Can you provide some more information to facilitate investors in doing reasonable due diligence? I don't see you listed here: http://companies.herokuapp.com/

Evidence of assets?

no clue what you consider the "general definition" is. If you mean:


then I could confidently state that


is false. Prove otherwise.

Define scam.

This thread is a formal allegation of fraud and scam activity against etsanchez and turquoise9955 and provides an opportunity for either member to dispute the allegation and provide evidence supporting such dispute.

Please post any evidence you have (PMs, emails) into this thread at your earliest convenience. Please sanitize your post here to not disclose any of your own personally identifiable information if you so choose. Please include the BTC address etsanchez requested payment to be sent to.

The allegation is that none of the above members received product.

etsanchez allegedly replies to GuruSteve via PM indicating that it was indeed a scam at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=42167.msg525281#msg525281

@GuruSteve
Please post PM content reflecting the above statement so I can remove "allegedly". It has been corroborated to my knowledge but it would help to have that PM posted here.

It was confirmed via Administrators that etsanchez and turquoise9955 are the same individual. I have not located direct evidence of fraudulent activity by turquoise9955 as of yet.

In future transactions please be cautious folks. Don't depend on this forum or Staff/Administrators to protect you from scammers. Do some substantial due diligence and if it sounds just too good to be true, just pass on it.

Edit: Please do not post in this thread unless you are a party to the transactions referenced above or have specific evidence regarding the transactions or the accused member(s).
@Staff: Please remove any posts not conforming to the listed post restrictions.

608 bytes is too small.

I find it difficult to believe a 500 location national chain would consider even a test run of accepting Bitcoin without consulting their legal group first. I suppose they may have been sitting on this or planning for a while as I don't think a legal group for such a chain would sign off on something like this in a matter of a few days.

How many is several? Where would they ship from, what ship method and is shipping included in the $1200 price?

I keep coming back to the need for a super-node but I don't particularly like that idea much. I think it has been mentioned elsewhere that if a super-node system was used there has to be some incentive and a proof of work for a super-node to operate and relay/validate transactions. I cannot imagine a way to provide such incentive while insuring valid answers are provided to other nodes.

What makes you think Cablesaurus has Mod/Admin privileges?

Did he readily accept 50% deposit or put up an argument?
