Moderator note: split from Bitcoin-Central, first exchange licensed to operate with a bank. This is HUGE


Let me guess. Mt Gox no longer serves US customers because Mark K. doesn't like baseball, hot dogs, or apple pie.

Hope I helped drive the post I quoted closer to home with my bunt. BTW, who's pitching? I'll break your nose if you say Who's...

Well, the Bitcoin1000 screwballs have checked in.  You are the kind of people who are making Bitcoin look ridiculous.  You set up some kind of charity (I assume it was not properly registered as such so the whole operation is probably illegal).  Then you set up a site filled with Bitcoin "wingnuts."  Instead of assisting charities to accept Bitcoin you demand they change their web site to your specifications.    Then the guy who "vets" these charities is a guy who runs around advocating braking into federal computer systems to steal the funds that were seized in the silk Road case.  Do you explain to these charities who exactly will be vetting them?

If Bitcoin is attain mass adoption you can't have a bunch of advocates running around setting up fake charities and fake banks where everybody has their funds stolen, while, at the same time, claiming this is vastly superior to the current system.

sturle - You really need to grow up and get some common sense.  If I operate a financial institution anywhere in the world and I have customer in USA or EU and I transfer money from that person to my account I have to register as a money transmitter in the country where the customer is.  If you want to believe some of the delusional people on here you are welcomed to do that.  I suggest you listen to the interviews with the US Money Transmitter Association that played on Lets Talk Bitcoin.  There are 2 long interviews in 2 different shows.  They explain the requirements that money transmitters have to go through.  You just keep repeating nonsense and if what you said was true I would be probably be trading on Kraken right now.

Bitcoin 100 screwball checking in.

My post had nothing to do with you or any of your sites, although I quoted you to drive my point home. I have no qualms with you whatsoever, assuming you were/are one of the good guys. Upon reading other posts directly your way, I may now have to reevaluate my previous position.

FYI, if you really want to stick it up my ass, take a look at this site: http://typhoonhaiyanrelieffund.org/

It ain't nothing special, just some dude attempting to raise a million bucks within 30 days and, it too, doesn't have a 501(c)3 in place, but probably will have oppose to Bitcoin 100, of which probably will not be obtaining one.

The only reason I visit this thread is to see the latest pertaining to Bitcoin-Central, seeing how it's thriving possibly on the backs of my three missing InstaWallet accounts totally 1,123+ BTC while there's still $1.8M dollars in IW's control according to the "block chain".

PS: I look forward to your apology, for I don't have an issue with you, but for some reason you seem to have one toward me.

OMG, this?!



Don't these people know how to take care of the things we give them?  They litter, steal and carouse until the property values plummet, they trash the houses they don't even pay me rent for any more, even graffiti the roads so the cops themselves are scared to go down there, and then they ask us for MORE MONEY?!

If you were serious about helping relief victims using Bitcoin you would set up something with Bitpay and their legally registered charity Bitgive.  They could probably legally accept donations in Bitcoin, convert them to local currency, and send the donation to something like the Red Cross.  Instead you set up some screwball site and you try to use the Bitcoin Foundation membership as some kind of approval seal.  TradeFortress had the same thing on his site before the people lost their funds in his "secure wallet."

I'm not sure what I'm missin'. I support you, but for some reason you consider me a screwball.

Should I also just send money to the Red Cross oppose to heading out to Satoshi Forest in Florida to put a Thanksgiving dinner together for the homeless? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=329396.0

One doesn't affect the other.  I am saying don't just set up fake charities because of all the problems these things are causing.  I think your intentions are good and  I don't think you are taking the money but most people can't tell.  I thought theymos was legitimate when I first get involved.  Many people thought inputs.io was a "secure wallet" too based on theymos' recommendation and the use of the Bitcoin Foundation logo.  A few people kept complaining but most people stood by and watched as the predictable happened.

No problem! I've yet to set up any fake charities. In fact, the ones I have, I'm not privy access to a single satoshi, unlike literally 100+ of others on this forum.

A fake charity just means it is not registered, not that someone stole money.  You just highlighted the problem.  100's of others are scamming people on here so a new user has no way to know which ones are scams. 

Also, 100's of bitcoiners have twitter accounts and successful blogs that they've yet to once use the word Bitcoin in their copy.  Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink

I wish to thank the mod that slice[d] (hint) this dialog away from the other topic, for it clearly was off-topic.

It seems we have a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Milly, I respectfully request you no longer engage in this conversation.
