Prompted by another thread I've decided to put out an offer I've been considering doing for awhile, that being offering to sell Cuban Cigars for Bitcoins.

I'm pretty well connected in the online cigar community, but admittedly have been kind of inactive in the various public forums for the last year or so. I'm a member of a variety of private cigar forums and can find quite a wide variety of sticks. I've made buying trips to Cuba and have executed something close to $25K-$30K worth of cigar transactions, group buys, box splits etc etc with people all over the world, and a fair number of different vendors.

The point of all that is that I'm decently qualified to offer this service and you don't have to worry about getting saddled with fakes, which if you know anything about CCs can be a concern if you are not familiar with your sources.

OTC Rating
A satisfied customer
And another
And yet another


I can offer a number services:

• Direct sales of cigars I currently possess. See LINK TO CURRENT INVENTORY if you're interested.
• I can order cigars from available vendors, pay fiat, and accept BTC/LTC from you for payment.
• Make inquiries with the folks I know to see if something specific you might be looking for can be found, pay fiat, and accept BTC/LTC from you as payment.
• I don't anticipate any travel in the near future, but I have in the past taken travel opportunities to locate and obtain various Regional Edition releases for others.

Terms and Conditions - 2013/05/08: (note that this list may be amended in the future)

• Shipping will take place from South Korea to the destination of your choice. I've sent upwards of 100 packages containing CCs from here to North America, Europe, and Asia, with none ever having been lost or damaged.
• The buyer is responsible for any and all customs duties that may be assessed on packages that make their way from me to you.
• It is the buyers responsibility to be aware of any laws and regulations regarding the import of tobacco products into the jurisdiction of their requested destination.
• Payment in BTC/LTC will need to be made before I ship anything to you. I will front the fiat for any purchases from 3rd parties and take on the risk of delivery to me.
• I offer a 10% discount on all orders totaling over $200 USD before shipping

If you think you may be interested please make a post in this thread, PM me, or contact me via the email address in my profile. My GPG key can be found in my signature should you chose to go that route.


EDITED TO ADD LINK TO CURRENT INVENTORY


May 7, 2012: Edited to add in some successful transaction references.
May 8, 2013: Edited description and terms to more accurately reflect what I'm offering.

Unlikely.

Currently the trend is creating a fake centralised currency which actually isn't even a currency at all since you can't exchange it with other people; i.e. a credits system which trick the users into thinking it's a currency instead.

And Facebook already has credits (at least they don't pretend they are something else, AFAIK).

I guess it will be something else, completely unrelated.

The website is http://www.buyincoins.com and if they used Bitcoin(instead of the "We preffer Paypal") it would really match their name.

So trezor, is now taking pre-orders, and it looks sexy, it is open source and it has a BIP 32 wallet. So I am not married to the device. But should I pre-order it.

I know multibit will support it, but is their a patch for bitcoin-qt that will be released?
Will bitcoind support this? So then I can run a bitcoind for my company and give out addresses without worrying about a hacker.
Will the core developers be officially supporting this device? (Gavin gave it his blessing)
Does anyone know if Armory would be supporting this? I hope armory would support this so then I don't need a whole offline computer just for signing transactions.

Anyone know if I should get this or wait for more competition?

I think Slush is an outstanding member so thank you for developing this much needed tool!

I wouldn't want any console. I'm in PC gaming much much more.

WTF does that billboard even mean ?? 

Love the shirt and the video.

Here is an alternative voiceover for the video, using Bitcoin ...


This is the Bitcoin. Watch it hash in slow motion.

It's pretty badass. Look. It hashes all over the place. "Whoa! Watch out!" says that bank.

Eew, it's got encryption! Oh! It's chasing a merchant service! Oh my gosh!

Oh, the Bitcoin is just crazy!

The Bitcoin has been referred to by the Guiness Book of World Records as the most fearless currency on the Internet. It really doesn't give a shit. If it's hashing, it's mining.

Eew! What's that in its block chain? Oh, it's got a double-spend? Oh, it runs backwards? Now watch this: look FICEN's up in courts. Bitcoin don't care. It just takes what it wants. Whenever it's mining it just -- Eew, and it mines, transactions... Watch it reward! Look at that mining.

The Bitcoin is really pretty badass. It has no regard for any other currency whatsoever. Look at it, it's just hashing, and mining blocks. Eew! What's that? Silk Road? Oh that's nasty. Bitcoin's so nasty. Oh look it's hashing things and mining them.

The Bitcoin has a fairly long block chain, but a distinctly thickset encryption scheme, and, you know, its developers are loose, allowing it to move about freely, and they twist around.

Now look: Here's a house full of gold bugs. Do you think the Bitcoin cares? It doesn't give a shit, it goes right into the homes of libertarians to get some liquidity. How disgusting is that? It mines silk road transactions. Eew, that's so nasty.

But look! The Bitcoin doesn't care! It's users get hacked like a thousand times. It doesn't give a shit. It's just mining. It doesn't care about being hacked by the feds. Nothing can stop the Bitcoin when it's mining. What a crazy fuck! Look, it's mining anonymous transactions, that's disgusting.

It's hashing in slow-motion again. See?

Now, what's interesting is that other currencies like the dollar here, they just wait around until the bitcoin crashes, and then it swoops in to pick up the scraps. It says, "You do all the work for us, Bitcoin, and we'll just profit whatever you mine, how's that? What'daya say, stupid?"

Look at this currency: "Thanks for the treat, stupid!"

"Hey, come back here," says the Bitcoin.

Currencies don't care, and you know what? The alt-coins do it too. Look at these little alt-coins. They're like "Thanks stupid! Thanks for the mining! See you later." The Bitcoin does all the work and all these other currencies just pick up the scraps.

At nightime the Bitcoin goes mining, because it's hashing. Look! Here comes a fierce battle between a government currency and Bitcoin. I wonder what will happen?

Look at this, there's the Bitcoin just hashing a block, and then look, "Get away from me!" says the government, "Get away from me!" Bitcoin don't care. Bitcoin smacks the shit out of it. And the government comes back and it lashes at the Bitcoin.

Oh, little does the Bitcoin know, FYI: it's been hacked! It's been forked by the 51% attack, so while it's hashing the block chain -- eew, that's disgusting -- all the hacked blocks are seeping into the Bitcoin's block chain, and it forks out. Look at that forked fuck.

Now the Bitcoin is going to fork out for a few minutes, and then it's going to get right back up and start hashing all over again, because it's a resiliant little bastard.

Look at this! Like nothing happened! The Bitcoin gets right back up and continues hashing the block chain.

How disgusting.

And of course, what does the Bitcoin have to hash for the next two weeks?

Transactions.

The Bitcoin.

I'm writing an article for Bitcoin Magazine on Prism and I'd like to ask this community what they would like to know about Prism and how the American Intelligence Infrastructure collects information.

I'll also be covering some ways you can protect yourself from getting snooped on. Let me know.

No. Thank. You.

Couldn't pay me to take one.

Quite. Much like I would watch France 24 on the TV, I envision it as a news channel which would have relevant stories to Bitcoin. If there is no pressing news, the channel keeps stories on rotation around every 2 hours. Instead of weather or sports, fundamental and technical analysis?

What do you see?

If this was a cable channel, I would pay a subscription fee. Someone needs to come up with a 24/7 webcast thing...

Stop making these retarded unrealistic post about $5k or $1M BTC.
