Bruno-

I know bupkiss about programming (at least in any current language, I can troubleshoot COBOL and FORTRAN pretty damn well!) I don't really have a horse in the Domain Registry race (I did register 1,800 sites with Go Daddy one night for a failed venture, using an attorney's credit card) but I do know a fair bit about marketing, especially of the online variety, and am a shameless whore when it comes to promotions and PR. And I have been told that I turn the odd phrase well here and there. If these talents have any potential application in this mysterious, but somewhat compelling project of yours, I would be delighted to bring my humble talents to bear.

And I live within the fallout radius of Sandwich/Yorkville, so I am available for high level corporate consultation over a cold beer as needed. And I am a big fan of old barns (see that shameless "what you did there" move?) having been harassed by the authorities for photographing one which later appeared in a gallery show of my work (yeah, I am a scofflaw when it comes to anti-trespassing law, especially in the middle of nowhere in Addy, WA and a barn that hadn't seen human occupation in decades and needed to be photographed in that perfect light, but I digress).



I wish I could contribute but it looks like my relevant skillset is already covered by LG.  In any case, I have so many projects demanding my attention, I feel like a one-armed juggler.

I do, however, have a Reseller account with my hosting provider which would allow me to pass on some savings if you would accept me as an agent working on their behalf. All my sites are hosted with them and I haven't experienced any problems or unscheduled downtime in the four years I've been using them. The price for a basic hosting package will run about 0.65 BTC per month at the current exchange rate.

Most people who had bitcoin there never got any back.
If I recall correctly, mybitcoin.com users got 49% of their coins back (I was one of the stupid people who trusted some bitcoins to them, by the way).


Mybitcoin.com was the easiest, most user friendly bitcoin ewallet for consumers and merchants alike. I have yet to see one as simple,  straightfoward, and streamlined. On top of that, it was free. I used it for small amounts of BTC and received 49% of my funds back after the "hack."

That being said, it is very possible that it may have been a scam from the very beginning.

Just purchased order #6341.

Michael, let me know when it arrives and I can pick it up or you can drop it off at my house.

For what it's worth, I understand the desire to use escrow and probably would have requested it too if Michael didn't live nearby.

HomelessJackie.com suspended until further notice.

If this was indeed all a con, I apologize for enabling and encouraging "Jackie".

I have met Michael in person. He lives about five minutes away from me and I also know his place of business.

The question is: Am I trustworthy?

Well, I can't answer that one, all I can do is let interested parties know that if you turn out to not be trustworthy, they'll have at least one person they can ask to go knock on your door and say, "Hey, Mike, what's going on?"

Now the question is, am I trustworthy or are we in cahoots?

Haha.  Yeah.  The problem is there is no 100% trust here or really anywhere.  There's always a little bit of a gamble.  But tell me, I've bought a couple things from you in person, and from your experience, if I say I'll do something, do you think I will I do it?

Yes, you seem like an honest guy.

man I hate to poke fun in situations like this, but Edd I think I deserve to take a shot (you know why!)


Yeah, I'm sure this will provide plenty of entertainment no matter what the outcome.  Cheesy

Butterfly labs WILL NOT change the shipping information on orders. Be careful with that.


On that note, are you willing to deal with escrow?

Actually, you're correct.  I could've sworn that they said they would, but I was misremembering.  I can't do escrow because I need the funds now.

I have history here so perhaps we can make an arrangement for a lower price and I will ship to you as soon as I get them.

where are you shipping from?

San Antonio, TX

Okay, Raize has sent me the evidence indicating that Jackie is a male prankster with an unsavory online background. While I wouldn't call it "conclusive proof," it does seem that the most prudent course of action would be to ask "Jackie" to prove she is what she claims to be and, as a matter of fact, a photo with her username  (shoe on head optional) would indeed negate much of Raize's conclusions.

Since it seems likely that I may have been duped into helping this person set up a standalone blog simply for collecting donations under false pretenses, as soon as I have access to my computer, I'll be removing the content from public display until "Jackie" comes forward and clears her name.

Ironically, I was about to defend Jackie before she posted about going to her mother's funeral. Real or not, she must be unaware of how frequently strangers asking for money use that tactic.

I'd be willing to make the trip from San Antonio as long as I'm available.

BTW, is this THE  Atlas?

Conclusive proof of what?

That the OP is a fraud.

I just rembered the OP of this thread was actually rexcoin. Was that what you meant? They're the same person?

I'm wondering how much of a fraud. Is she not female? Not homeless? Not a smoker? Not in New York? All of the above?

Everyone who donated is a moron. Just the title made me 90% sure this was fake, and I've since received conclusive proof.

Conclusive proof of what?
