Neo & Bee have got their new website live in anticipation of tomorrows opening. You should check it out. http://www.neo-bee.com/index.php/en/Whether you think having a BTC-bank is a good idea or not, you should agree this is going to be a new marker in path the to adoption. Their advertising strategy was the most professional thing to happen in the bitcoin Eco-system since bitpay. If the Cyprus government stays out of the way I expect them to create waves there. Of course if bitcoin crashes their bank could be in trouble, but if is at least flat for 2014, they should be more than fine. |

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I think it's great. Why shouldn't people have the option of paying someone else to keep their coins safe for them?

I like that your activity is 420, and that your avatar is someone breathing out smoke. Also....about to break through an important psychological barrier....5000! (pages on this thread.) Choo choo motherforum. Thanks. Can't get too excited about that gox address just yet as the first decent-sized transaction since the Night of Goxxing is goxxed up, yet another double-spend.
I do believe it's Rachel from Blade Runner. Is that right?
Yep! He he!  Too late! You've single-handedly just sparked the biggest rally since Silk Road got shut down.  |

I just learned a story about a 'bitcoin investment fund' in a certain Latin American country. The fund took several thousand coins from clients, promising large returns in BTC. Then the owner claimed that the fund had been hacked an all the coins were stolen, and closed the fund. The clients have not yet received their coins back.
What makes the story interesting is that that same person is the owner of that country's main bitcoin exchange. And his clients see nothing wrong with that.
Why is there so much tolerance to dishonesty in the bitcoin community?
Are you speaking about Mercado Bitcoin in Brazil, right? Well, I personally know the people involved and you are just making wild assumptions. AFAIK the theft of the fund money happened indeed - and the owner of the fund is the OLD owner of the exchange, not the actual one. He sold it. So, you are reading stories in a forum, confusing them for hard cold facts and then making assumptions. Well done, professor. You are embarrassing yourself again. About your stupid rhetorical question:in the Bitcoin community there is no more tolerance to dishonesty than in the "fiat community" (lol). HSBC employees and management can calmly walk down the streets without fearing to encounter an angry mob ready to hang them from a tree (same thing is valid for any of the investment banks that made millions of people poorer after the 2008 crisis), Berlusconi has ruled 20 years in Italy while all the population knows he is a thief and probably a "wise guy", the management of the Spanish banks that ruined the country and that had to be rescued with public money is walking away with multi-million bonuses while nobody says nothing, and the vast majority of financial criminals (even the convicted ones) are admired and called "sir" by their neighbors. This is capitalism, Mr Steffi, and there's always tolerance to making a lot of money, regardless of the means. |

I'm not sure it has any charge -- you just buy your coins from them. |

Their choice of stock photography makes me facepalm. I thought the same; however, their market is face-to-face, so they are trying to appeal 'everyday' people. Such persons look very different in Cyprus to those in New York. |

Nice way to wake up. Starting to look good. Pretty good, actually.  Bit low on volume, maybe, but it's Sunday, so low volume is not necessarily a sign of a false breakout. We'll see tomorrow if we continue the move on weekday volume. |
