i did submit a ticket asking for cancellation and refund but still no one answered and magicaltux ignored me on freenode so im worried , and about the people who use their services r they for real or is it just magicaltux using several accounts to scam?

I started registering domain names with them over a year ago and have had no issues. Kalyhost is only a subsidiary of the company started by MagicalTux; I highly doubt he is involved in its day to day operations.

What can you do with your  fiat when the government calls a "bank holliday" and devalues your money to 0 ?

If you dont have a card and no checks that happens every Sunday in the Western World.

Cash still works.

If you don't think Mt. Gox's verification process should apply to you, you should contact them about it.
607  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please help! :( New bitcoin user who can't withdraw funds from MtGox account on: February 23, 2013, 07:39:25 PM
Quote from: Mt. Gox Terms of Service
Mt. Gox will request identification information (such as an identity card, invoices, Government issued photographic identification, utility bill, residential certificate, signed certification of cohabitation, or similar, banking information) depending on the amounts deposited on the Accounts or the presence of suspicious activity which may indicate money-laundering or other illegal activity. Identification of the bank account from which funds are transferred to the Account may also be requested. In certain cases notarization of certain documents (including apostille) may be requested. Transactions may be frozen until the identity check has been considered satisfactory by Mt. Gox as required by applicable money laundering laws. Mt. Gox may request additional identification information at any time at the request of any competent authority or by application of any applicable law or regulation.

If your friend registered his account long enough ago, he may not have had to verify. I don't believe this clause was implemented until last year.

Looks good for now.

I dont have much, but please do pass on your BTC address for a small tip for your help Smiley

No need. Put it toward your faucet.  Wink
610  Economy / Services / Re: The Bitcoin Place - Get Free Bitcoin Website Directory on: February 23, 2013, 05:50:56 PM
Changed. Thanks.


Better, but "to get" should be "for getting". As in "Coinbase is a great online solution for getting a Bitcoin wallet."
611  Economy / Services / Re: The Bitcoin Place - Get Free Bitcoin Website Directory on: February 23, 2013, 05:43:36 PM
Your featured wallet text reads "Coinbase is an online solution for a solution to get a Bitcoin wallet".

It might sound better as "Coinbase is one way to get an online Bitcoin wallet."
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What you can do with a bitcoin if the USD exchange price dropped to 0 on: February 23, 2013, 05:37:09 PM
There already is fundamental support for bitcoin. Many of us believe in bitcoin for the advantages it offers over all fiat currencies, not because of any exchange rate. As long as those ideologically motivated individuals find strength in the bitcoin protocol, bitcoin will have value.
613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why do you buy bitcoin? on: February 15, 2013, 09:56:12 PM
None of the reasons I use BTC are listed.

  • For idealogical reasons. (I like being in control of my own money.)
  • To send money anywhere in the world quicker and cheaper than ever before. (as mccorvic mentioned.)
  • I bought my first bitcoins for $1 each. If I had bought more, I'd be rich.

yeh but there is only "irrefutable" evidence in word not in actual evidence itself. And if you like to call them " transitional fossils " instead of missing links that doesn't really make a lot of difference we still know what we're talking about, actually transitional already expects that the fossil will be present which is misleading.

What I'm saying is, there will always be "missing" links unless someone can catalog each and every one of the countless ancestors that lived between you and the first strand of amino acids that began reproducing itself billions of years ago.

Irrefutable: Impossible to refute or disprove; incontrovertible

The fossils are present. What is misleading about this?

It's like the question, chicken or the egg?  The chicken, of course.  The egg didn't magically appear out of thin air.  "But what hatched the chicken?"  Whatever it evolved from.

Actually, you have it backwards. First came the egg. Within the egg was a slightly mutated version of the creature that laid it. The parents looked an awfully lot like chickens but weren't quite there yet - the offspring was.

The idea of a "missing link" is outmoded in biology. I think if you look at the latest work you will see a very complete record from tree dwelling apes to lots of upright hominids to Humans.
Humans didn't just appear. It's kinda about where you draw the line of human/pre-human. Even the skeletons of "modern Humans" from tens of thousands of years ago are noticeably different from skeletons today. Especially in the past 10k years, skeletons have become more delicate.  There are other changes likely related to cooking. Our guts are WAY to small to eat uncooked food and our appendix has stopped working all together.
We were just another one of the tool using apes until our genes won the arms race. Now we are the last of the group, and still evolving and changing.
What i understand there still is this thing called the missing link they have not found it yet, they might have drawn it in, in the drawings progressing towards human beings but i can pretty much assure you that those are just drawings, there is a huge difference  between the human skull and that of our last known ancestors; the ape like creatures.

Outmoded? I just found an article 2010 from a well known news paper saying the missing link has been found.

Maybe this time Roll Eyes

The term "missing link" is the creationist's way of moving goalposts. Scientists use the term "transitional species", as in:
Quote from: Wikipedia

Every time irrefutable evidence is discovered demonstrating the existence of species "linking" us to previous species, the creationist says, "But where is the link between them and us!?" ad infinitum.

I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I'll be helping promote SatoshiDoshi here and elsewhere, in conjunction with the owner.

In an effort to keep everything as transparent as possible, I'll clarify and point out that I am not a partner, but more like a hired PR guy.
619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Wallet per user on: February 08, 2013, 04:42:49 PM
Not sure what you are trying to do, but it sounds like the method you are choosing may not be the best way to go about it.

Since every user has his own password I want to have separate wallets all encrypted with the users password

So you basically want individual encrypted wallets for several people all located in the same place but only accessible with their own unique password?

Am I on crazy pills or did the people that create http://pizzaforcoins.com have some good PR people. I saw at least two articles that linked to them and one even tried to contact them. I would have never guess pizza has this type of power. Time to change my plan of building a [ insert satoshi dice / casino / gambling site here] clone, and go for the pizza.

I think physical, non-mining related goods for bitcoins have a big impact, period. I have no PR people and BitBrew has been linked to in several articles:

http://economia.migueldearriba.net/2011/06/el-fenomeno-bitcoin-la-moneda-electronica-de-internet/
http://www.sovereignlife.com/files/moneyrevolution.pdf
http://arstechnica.com/business/2013/01/bitcoin-based-casino-rakes-in-over-500000-profit-in-six-months/

I was even interviewed and had a bag of my coffee appear on the cover of the October 29th, 2012 issue of Tax Notes International®. (Unfortunately, this is not a free publication.)
