Update:
In the early morning of 10/24/2012 FastCash4Bitcoins purchased the 100,000th bitcoin.  A review of the sales log is needed to generate the
official entry list.  More details will be provided soon on the first and last orders which are included in the drawing.

[Flowz]

I'm going to send a postal card for sure!
I'm getting one tomorrow, I'll maybe even create a bitcoin-themed postalcard myself!

[BlackHeartFund]

Great to hear that FastCash4Bitcoins is doing so well!

[DeathAndTaxes]

Sorry for the delay in posting the results of the drawing.  With the events of yesterday (and meeting with legal counsel) it got pushed off the schedule.  The results (hashed for privacy) will be posted this evening and the winner contacted.

Hey Tangible,


So I was looking at your site... trying to find a reputable exchange to convert my BTC to cash and I wonder about your "shody" site.

I tried to find out "more" and got a blank page.
I tried to find out about your "payment methods" and got a blank page.

Surely I don't need to log in before I can learn about your services, right?

Why do none of the buttons work?

Not reassuring in any way shape or form.

Thought, maybe because you used lame AXP pages that it only works in IE, nope, still a bunch of blank pages.

What's up with that?

The only button that works is the one that takes me to the movie about what bitcoin is.

If you can't even run a website how can I believe you won't steal my money?

You can't.  Likely you shouldn't use the service.

You do realize you are alone in the crowd.

Nice try.

Nice try.

So when you click the buttons on the top of the page they lead to something?  I've tried it with several browsers now and none of the buttons work... just like I said.

As a person who has not signed up for this service and was seeking a vendor I find the douchebag's response above to be classless and in bad taste.  I expect a certain degree of professionalism from companies and the lack of professional response here is deafening.

Your inability to navigate an online resource (whether faulty or not) and your subsequent futile attempt to communicate in this thread is a pretty clear indication of you general competence.
