I've still seen them listed on eBay. Are they still removing the listings, or do they just kinda go under the radar? I need to pick up the larger denomination notes to complete my collection at some point.

They didn't get any serious information from what I heard. Just names, addresses, and the like. And I agree with moni3z: if it was Anonymous, they wouldn't shut the hell up about it.

I like to collect banknotes. I just got some Liberty Dollar notes in the other day to add to my collection and it made me think of starting this topic. I know ALD has a load of controversy surrounding it, but I'm curious to know what people here think/thought of the currency. Did anyone support it before it was hit by the FBI? Anyone support the concept behind it? Anyone hate it to the ends of the Earth?

I posted this in the MultiBit subforum, but I'm adding it here since I'm hoping for a quick response.

I'm using the OSX version of MultiBit, and the application is not responding. I don't want to force quit the application in fear of losing the wallet. Will that damage the file?

Update: Issue has been solved. Force quitting the program didn't harm the wallet file, if anyone else has a similar problem and is looking for info. Not sure if I got lucky there or what though.

Update: Issue has been solved. For future reference: force quitting did not corrupt the wallet data, but I don't know if that was luck on my part of not.

I read those a bit ago. I know the attacks shouldn't be affecting their processing, but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I always feel bad for websites that have to deal with that nonsense. 

I have a fee with all of them. I also had a second transaction take another 30+ minutes, but after that it's been smooth. Not sure what the deal has been.  

Actually, it might be happening again. I notice that each time it happens, I check their website to find that it's loading very slowly. This one has been about eight minutes so far, and their website is delayed on my part as well.

Have you tried BitVisitor, CoinTube, or EarnFreeBitCoins? I used all those when I was getting started with BitCoin, and they always paid out pretty quick. Haven't used them in quite some time though.

I placed a 0.2 BTC bet about 30 minutes ago now and I haven't gotten a response yet. Are delays like this common? I checked the list of unconfirmed transactions on S-Dice and I don't see mine listed there. This is my first day using S-Dice, so I'm not fully familiar with how long these things take.

Quick edit: the bet has two confirmations now.

Final edit: It's gone through now, but a half hour is a bit long. Curious as to the cause.

I've got a brand new (still wrapped and sealed) copy of CoD4 that I'm looking to sell for BTC1 (that price includes shipping). I only ship to the lower 48 states. Willing to use an escrow. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

He gets mad at being labeled a potential scammer, but then he keeps doing questionable things like this...

I didn't see a Facebook picture in the link you gave. Was it taken down already?

Anyways, I do agree with you that Micon is being obnoxious about the whole thing. I think the community tends to agree, given his level of ignores at the moment.

I was referring to the chain of emails you posted earlier. You specifically wanted him to email you from a BitInstant.com address. He emailed you from a different email address (one that was in your original email). I didn't say a thing about the message board PMs.

The resistance to supplying information, I said, relates to most issues I see people having with BitInstant here on the forums. That goes along with not always accepting the support they're given. I didn't say that both applied to your case. I did see the second scenario applied to your case though: from what you've posted, Charlie emailed you twice from one email address before you requested (through the forum) that he email you from a BitInstant.com email address. I personally don't see why the email address he used should matter in terms of getting the issue resolved quickly (especially since it was an email address that you had included in your initial email on the 24th). I'm sure you have your reasons for it.

I will admit that I don't, of course, know all the details of your transaction: that's between you and the company. And I apologize if I made a harsh judgment on the situation based on information only seen here. But I'm only going off details from of your public complaint against BitInstant. If it was a matter you wanted to keep completely private, you didn't have to make a case before the BitCoin community about it.

As a side note, I don't think my "asskissing" threw you off as much as you believe. Your post was pretty hefty regardless.

I don't know if any of this could be called "heated."

They're just throwing away money, right? Why on Earth would anyone intentionally turn down the free BTC?

That's even more depressing.

So it would have to be done by someone who is willing to give up money just to mess with a handful of people? That's a depressing thought... 

That's the one that contains the background of the nephilim, right? That was another strange one.

If you look at the culture of that time period, it's not that unusual: the Hebrews were not the only people who used stoning as a form of capital punishment, and virginity was a valued thing to look for in a woman (that also spanned across various cultures and religions of the time).

It's also important to note that Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy were not books of teaching, but books of law. It's sort of like comparing the works of Plato to the US Constitution: philosophy vs. law. Different purposes.

Now if you want some stuff that's really out there, check out some of the apocrypha. I recommend the Gospel According to Thomas, my favorite line of which is "Blessed is the lion who consumes a man, for he shall become a man. But cursed is the man who consumes a lion, for he shall become a lion." It's a wonder why it was never included in Biblical canon.

There might be some people interested in your services on the forum. I would open a thread in the services section of the marketplace forums once you're out of newbie jail. Break down your services into a list with prices either for each service or per hour or per case (however you want to charge) for people to look at. You'll also want to come up with payment options: will you accept escrow? Do you require payment up front, or only after you provide the requested information?

The more options you give people, the better success you'll have. I would recommend working out some sort of escrow, at least in the beginning: people aren't quick to trust new members with their money around here. Do your best to provide good service and you'll have a good rep in no time.
