Same here.  All I'm trying to do is buy some BTC in the UK.

Welcome to the land of grey clouds!

On a related note, it looks like I have finally got Bitstamp to work, using a SEPA payment.  Only 2 business days to find out if I'm right.

Even night clubs these days make people queue outside and only the good looking people get let in first. Antispam measures are usually IP blocking methods. but with many people using TOR for their genuine anonymity unrelated to spamming (drug pushers etc). Which seems to be a well valued right of BTC. Stopping IP addresses of spamming trolls is just going to block many non spamming users too.

Spammers that use to do it the TOR way would just click 'use new identity' to be given a fresh new node IP. so blocking every IP is not the solution. plus its not much of a prevention. It is basically like letting in all the riff raff into a night club then throwing out anyone that looks the same whether they caused the trouble or not.. In bitcoin terms that is a large percentage use TOR. so I find queuing outside for 4 hours better, knowing I hopefully will have a relaxed atmosphere inside for many months

and on that note 2 hours to go

It is a good way to select those who have nothing better to do than standing in line for 4 hours. Of those who have a life this web site gets only those who can write a bot in much less than 4 hours that fulfills the requirement for them.

Restrictions make sense, keep the trolls out.

[urwhatuknow]

After reading a lot of posts on your newsgroup I decide to submit an applicatio, but I'm a little confused on how you get your right to raise a topic and/or reply to one PM.
Can somebody please explain it to me?

Thanks

Sounds like a good idea to me

[trebornay27]

Pretty good idea to be fair

[Jackson17]

Makes sense.

It is unfortunate that people in general are not mature enough to handle themselves in an upfront and open manner.  It is this tendency and this tendency alone which fuels those who wish to rule over others...the "need" for most to be ruled.  It just adds difficulty for those of us who do not need to be ruled to function, having to circumnavigate the "rulers" while wading through the "ruled"...

Are you the original author of the above? Very well written. Speaks my mind.

The ellipses and quotes should be removed. They are superfluous, if not wrong. But that is only a minor point.
