Here are the pictures of the actual console (Will post better quality soon, also with the games & manuals).





8602  Economy / Goods / Would you buy: PSP radiant red 3000 series? on: May 15, 2013, 04:00:10 PM
I was wondering, if anyone would be interested in purchasing a PSP, I know that there is a new console called the Vita, but it's just collecting dust.

So I would be willing to sell for a pretty cheap price, i'm not selling yet, but I would like to know the price if you were interested.


(ESCROW IS AVAILABLE WHEN SELLING)


I will be posting pictures if I get any interest.


If I get enough interest, I may be willing to host a auction (shipping fees would not be included into the auctions final price).


Information:

In good condition, only used a couple of times.

Includes, Grand theft auto vice city and football manager 2010 (free).


Before, officially selling, I will provide more details & pictures of console and game(s).

If you really see what's going on, you'll see there is no scam- just a good idea, and one that can inspire confidence in the Bitcoin fear-mongering skeptics, especially the ones that have no idea from a technical standpoint what they're talking about.

Kruncha- This is actually my first account, but my partners have been registered which is how I knew to post here. For the record, I did not do all of this by myself, but they want to stay behind the scenes for now. It's argued that because it was my idea, I have to be "the face".  Undecided As you can see, it's a joy as expected.

Scab- I'm not really clear on why lots of previous posts equals legitimacy, perhaps that reflects my noob status. And I'm not a dude!

Welsh- Check out the site, that's exactly what we allow you to do. Unlike other Bitcoin services, you and only you store your Private Keys. Most people don't use Bitcoin, let alone know how to use it. The Bank of Bitcoin provides a seamless, user-friendly way to create Paper Wallets and to accept payment, spend Bitcoins, and to transfer to other members out of your Paper Wallet (what we call Paper Vaults). We don't claim to keep them, we don't (and can't)! The idea is that you keep your Private Keys safe. At the same time, you don't have to run Bitcoin software, and creating the Paper Vaults takes seconds. Furthermore, as a Bank Member, you can spend your Bitcoins from any internet-connected device, given you have your Private Key on you. Convenience, security, and control of your Bitcoins. That's the idea.


Yep, my message was to a earlier post.

thanks for the input, just thought id explore the option

There are websites which 'claim' to provide this service, but I have yet to find any that has reviews.
It seems everyone stays away from this type of business.
8605  Economy / Services / Re: Graphic Designer for Hire on: May 15, 2013, 03:43:10 PM
Have you got any more examples of past work?


Maybe a website which we could look at, or maybe past customers which can provide feedback?

8606  Economy / Services / Re: I am a yoga teacher in Austin, TX. on: May 15, 2013, 03:42:02 PM
You should think of providing lessons across the web as well, maybe through skype. It may increase the amount of customers you receive, due to you only providing it locally.
8607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alternative Block Chains : be safe! on: May 15, 2013, 03:40:14 PM
Very good advise here, even though I don't believe on using alternative currencies to Bitcoin.


There are a number of virtual programs which can be installed for free, and they are also safe and pretty reliable.
Also very easy to setup, google on how to setup. It takes no longer than 5 minutes.
8608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any guide on how to create a alternate currency to bitcoin on: May 15, 2013, 03:34:29 PM
To create a "alternate" currency, what do you mean?

Actually CREATE a currency.

Or,

Just edit some lines of code and claim it as your own?


Anyway, currencies are normally created by teams, or very dedicated people. Not just people who would like to create a currency let the price build up and then cash out, it's not that simple.

First of all 99% of people who is going to answer here is wrong and the last 1% will have a message 99% wrong as well. Mostly because they got too big of an opinion regarding themselves and bitcoin as well as a gripe against the government.

Ill try give you a few actual reasons but remember that a currency is very complicated and there are allot of pros and cons however you manage it.
In no particular order:
They can not print more money. Most countries use their power to print money to balance the economy. Countries that have adopted the Euro also suffers from these problems but its not an absolute bad thing. Just a different way things are handled that requires a country to find new methods.

Its not bound to an Identity so the government can't keep track of your money and hence can't tax you on it. Especially dangerous in combination with criminal groups or terrorists like Al Qaida.

Its an experiment and not designed to be sustainable in the future or distant future.


99% right? Well you posted a few incorrect statements in your post, first of all Countries don't just "print more money" actually printing money is down to IMF, what are the IMF?

"The IMF promotes international monetary cooperation and exchange rate stability, facilitates the balanced growth of international trade, and provides resources to help members in balance of payments difficulties or to assist with poverty"


Infact, countries are in debt because of this very reason, so I don't know what you mean about countries printing more money off to stabilise the economy.
Every time a country prints more money off, the more the value of that certain currency goes down, why do you think people are sticking with Bitcoin, because there's a limit to how much there will EVER be, meaning it should get extremely value at some point. (Although this may never happen)


Now, what you said is that countries use their 'power' in order to "print money off to balance the economy", no not really, like I said earlier in this post, the countries are not the ones who actually are in 'control' therefore can't just use their 'power'.

But, back to the post.
In my personal opinion, I think they don't like it because they can't track you down, think of it.
Most ways to pay online require a bank account, a bank account needs you to provide identity.
However, with Bitcoin you don't need any of this, Bitcoin can be generated in a few seconds and sent anonymous across the web for ANY service/product.

This causes a lot of problems, for instance many Bitcoin users are branded for purchasing illegal drugs online and can't be traced afterwards.
Now, for this very reason Bitcoin as hit the news many times, it's a scare tactic more than anything.



No IMF does not in fact "control" anything. They just monitor and provide advice. The trust put into them gives them a certain power since the market will listen to their speculations that is it. In countries that have retained the right to print money they can and will print if they get too far into debt because they can trade it BEFORE the printing is reflected in the markets and start inflation.

Yes, I didn't mean to say control, however countries can't simply print off money whenever they like.
In fact, most countries owe IMF a lot of money, for example lets say IMF printed $5 off to america, then the interest on top of that would come to $10 next month, because america only has $5 to run their country they would of not been able to earn any more money (When the first money was printed there were no buying from other countries because countries couldn't afford it at that time). Therefore a lot of countries are still in debt.

However, I must apologise, because it your initial post I thought you said "counrties just print more money" which kind of got me going (I tend to read but not take in every word, lol).

If adsense pays $0.10/click for bitcoins then you would get $1/1k impressionts~ (I get 10 clicks/thousand from my websites) and I assume you have other payment methods to make you money on your website. I personally find your payout a bit low though so I'm not interested in doing it.

It's true, your current payout is pretty low, you would need to think about raising it if you ever wanted to encourage the majority of Bitcoin users to use your website.
8611  Other / Archival / Re: The Bank of Bitcoin- The World's Most Secure Bitcoin Service- Unhackable! on: May 15, 2013, 03:14:03 PM
Haha, they maybe "unhackable" but that doesn't mean they can't be stolen, private keys have to be stored somewhere, and I HOPE they don't have them on their computer in a database, because they are hackable then.

A bit of friendly advise, I wouldn't trust a bank for Bitcoin, this is my personal opinion.
But I think it's a valid argument, I believe Bitcoins are very safe if you store your paper wallets yourself.
Why would you trust another person who claims to keep them 100% safe.
Yet, this person could just run off with your coins, when really there is no need for this.

Let's face it, most people have enough logic to use paper wallets and store them safe, either in your personal safe or in a EVEN more secure location.

I wish you good luck, looks a promising site, maybe if some users could post if they have successfully completed a order on this website?

That would be great.

Luckily there are many other better options  Wink
Was literally going to mention you guys. Didn't Coinabul take a bunch of people's money?

That's correct.

A lot of people, I think 5+ members posted losing HUGE amounts of money to them.
