I’m trying to get in touch with someone in US but I lost his contact info. All I have is his mailing address. I need someone who is also in US to send him a simple letter with my email address. I need the letter sent using US postal service with a tracking number so I can see it was delivered. I pay .1 BTC to send the letter and another .2BTC as bonus if the person emails me. PM please.

This is...quite the deal. But this also seems sketchy. Are you a hitman or something?
"I lost his contact info. All I have is his mailing address."
You can still mail him bro. This is really fuckin sketchy...

I'll do it if I don't detect a hint of criminality, the BTC0.1 is sent up front, and the BTC0.2 is placed with an escrow we mutually trust.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Why can't you mail him yourself? Like anshar says, this is weird...

Why can't you mail him yourself? Like anshar says, this is weird... International mail/parcel tracking isn't as easy or cheap as USPS domestic, probably. But there is a difference between mere delivery and signed receipt by the recipient.

There might not be a UPS/FedEx/DHL/local post or whatever station near them. Just because their local time per the forum appears to be UTC, doesn't mean that they are in UTC, or near civilization.

I can imagine if he knows what Bitcoin is, and bitcointalk, and by the way he types, he most probably can mail it but something sketchy is goin on. OP: Once you come online, would you care to shoot me what message you wanted to send him? If it's clean, I might do it.

You can simply send a telegram online. Obviously you have access to the internet and it's about the same cost to you as you want to pay someone else to do it on your behalf. https://www.sendtelegram.com <--- for example That one also has tracking. So if you still want someone else to do it, then it is very shady.

Agreed this is odd: Are we allowed to read the letter before sending it, to make sure it's not too terribly illegal/violent, etc?

This smells like there is something illegal going on here. Granted it is plausible that he is far from a post office/UPS, ect. equivalent, however I think it is more likely the OP is trying to somehow harass someone who probably does not know his identity and is trying to make it look like it is you harassing him/her (hence the tracking instead of letting you drop it in the mail somewhere). Although all this is speculation.

Don't you generally need to personally buy a tracking number (e.g. with a stamps.com account or at a post office, both of which would associate your identity with the person who sent the letter)? If you were to simply buy stamps at a grocery store, then I don't think the stamp could be traced back to your identity easily

I thought the proposition (in bold) was that items won't be tracked at time of delivery if you put it in a blue box to begin with. That isn't true. My blue boxed items with tracking numbers always track to the destination.

I guess that is true, however I don't think many people would think to take such great measures/precautions to make sure their identity is hidden when buying tracking. I would say that by default, most people who buy stamps will do so in a way that their identity cannot be associated with a particular stamp

Fake mustache and sunglasses? People are talking like I'm asking to mail a bomb here.
Just simple letter no threats no harassment. Of course you can read it because you will type it. It will just say this is so and so from such and such place, email me at my email address. Thats all.
I'm in a coutry where mail service is not reliable and rather would have it mailed from US. Anyone that actually wants to do this please PM me. Anyone that just wants to spread crazy suspicions in this thread I can't stop you I guess.
P.S. Would prefer if you have PGP. If you are reputable member here I can pay the .1BTC in advance. The .2 is just bonus. You just have my word that I will pay if the person emails me. No way to prove it so no point to do escrow.
