Had to wait till I got home to post pictures. Yes I haven't posted on these forums much, but two years ago is right around the time Bitbills were around no? For everyone that says it is a scam. Here are the pictures. I am also happy to use an escrow service and pay associated fees. Tell me what else you want to prove that it is real. With this post in background:  Back:  Front:  As you can see it is real and unopened. I bought these a while back and just not sure what to do with them anymore, not trying to scam anyone. As I said, I am happy to provide anymore kinds of proof you want. I humbly apologize. I doubt he hacked the account if he's willing to escrow. |

Has anyone else noticed how much we are living now in a world of Atlas Shrugged? Satoshi Nakamato is John Galt and Bitcoin is Galt's Gulch. And the political environment in novel is almost identical to what's happening right now around the world.
Bitcoins are also pretty similar with Rearden Metal. We early adopters are like Dagny Taggart when she used Rearden Metal even when the whole world was against it.
Whatever we are, it's we who move the world and it’s we who’ll pull it through.
Certainly. Whenever I describe Bitcoins to someone who doesn't know anything about them I throw in an Atlas Shrugged reference somewhere. Glad other people see it the same way. And if you haven't read Atlas Shrugged...read it! or at least a summary ; ) |

If North Korea is bombing anybody, its us (pun intended). But they won't. China won't let them.

I think it'd be interesting to hear how/when everyone heard of bitcoins.
I did in fall of '11 from a Wired magazine article via "Stumbleupon". The best thing I ever stumbled on ; )

Please just donate to the address in my sig.
And Tomatocage why are you asking to donate in your account what will you do with it. What you do is just put the newbies in your scammerrs list and say that your are helping the community. Are the newbies not a part of community. Such a big fool you are. Don't people understand that when you are on the asking-end of something (selling a product, asking for a loan/donation) its smartest NOT to call people names? |

I'd say its a good sign for Bitcoins that Nigerians are running scams based on them now!

Hi everyone, First of all, I can already imagine the trollish/otherwise unwarranted replies. Keep them coming. I'll explain exactly what I'm talking about, and how an argument against mine does not make sense. As soon as I joined the forums I got into melting scrap silver. With that and a bunch of silver shot II made a few [terribly ugly] ingots. There is a significant difference in melting points of silver and alloys in 925 silver (usually copper). Thus, I thought I could melt this 925 silver (and A LOT of shot) into .999 fine silver. So, I posted the three ingots and it didn't take long for someone to PM me saying they were interested (I'll leave their name anonymous), and the sale was made. The buyer thanked me and seemed very happy with the deal, but about 3 weeks later I got a message saying: "bad news: I did an assay of the silver and it wasn't pure" (in-fact, he mentioned actual percentage values-which would have been physically impossible. He said he wanted his money back. First I asked to see a receipt for the assay. He could not produce one. Then I sent him a bunch of 90% silver coins to compensate for this "discrepancy". In the end, he ended up with a significant amount of silver-definitely more than he originally payed for. But no he said, its a matter of "purity". He said that the ingots I sent him were worthless because their silver content was not the same as what the stamp on them said. Uhhh…I hand-hammered those numbers/digits all crooked-ass. Furthermore, NO reputable dealer would buy silver that was hand-stamped, they only buy from recognized mints. And finally, had he ever heard of "melt value"? Because the value of the silver he had ultimately received from me was far higher than the price he originally paid me in bitcoins. Feel free to look in past threads if you want. I am very over the issue.    Anyways, I am trying to see what kind of interest this would gain. Below is my work. I know a guy who said he would make a metal hand-hammer stamp for the bitcoin logo. Would you buy that? In contract law any part of the agreement you do not fulfill generally puts you in breech of that contract, obligating you to provide a refund, regardless of the price of silver or Bitcoin. Please tell me why you say you are over things like this yet you still constantly bring them up? Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself? Why am I bringing it up? Because its relevant and I'm defending myself. You have to be about the most annoying person I have ever come across online. Too stubborn to forget a grudge you started for no reason (even Casascius agreed-not to bring him into this), yet still you're around to taunt me. Wait-is this about the fact that I revealed the "Mine" signs you're selling are available for $1.99 (and probably even less elsewhere, the internet is filled with military surplus sites) when you're asking about $5-$6? Well I had to look elsewhere since you refuse to trade with me ; ) |

BTW, I'm flattered by everyone saying its a good idea...but no body has asked about buying one : (
I promise I won't use ComicSans

Great idea, but if you used something other than Comic Sans for the font it would be better  I'll delete the font from my computer. Whats the joke w/it though, I guess I missed it. |

*disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with Amagi Metals, just a happy repeat customer*
You should check out AmagiMetals.com. They have a pretty good selection and accept bitcoin. They also offer quantity discounts which might serve you, since you're looking for a good amount of silver.

First of all, please nobody jump in telling me the rules of Amazon Prime membership, I know them.
Anyways, what I'm offering is a service to get any item (Prime Qualified) from Amazon.com shipped w/2 day Service for one half the price of whatever you would have to pay for normal shipping. Not a bad deal. I think the best way for this to work is you send me the money for the item via PayPal, and pay the cost of shipping to me in BTC. If you have a problem with the item/wish to return it, I will help you with that, but you'll need to cover return shipping costs to Amazon. I was thinking this would make the most sense for the order of something large, that would otherwise cost a ton to ship. Its probably too much trouble than its worth for small purchases. If anyone is interested, PM me!

Good thinking, because I don't think any other BFL miner will ever exist.
