Something with this didn't feel right to me so I pulled out. Hopefully I'm wrong though and you guys get your coins.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Hope this isn't a scam -- I've done some business with BlackLilac in the past and didn't have any problems with him. That said, I do have a residential address associated with him, so if anyone wishes to pursue legal action, I'd be willing to provide you with my contact information. I won't give out his address to private individuals (sorry!), but I am willing to provide it to law enforcement so that they can track this guy down. Here's to hoping you folks get tracking numbers or refunds. Mail fraud is serious stuff, the RCMP hates it  |

no escrow you all paid up front for strangely cheap coins? Half up front the other half upon receipt of coins. |

He said escrow made him uncomfortable which seemed fair enough as it was a large amount. I then offered to fly to vancouver to pick them up in person, which he agreed to initially but because i couldn't get there until Tuesday, (the day after we initially agreed he said it was impossible as he was going away (which might explain the absence on the forum the last 24 hours.)) He did finally agree to Escrow for one coin and i am hoping when he gets back online all this is ironed out and he is true to his word. Fingers crossed for you guys |

No updates. No answers to my emails. No tracking. He deleted posts on this thread and then locked it. I had to ask a moderator to reopen it so we can discuss what's happening. If he followed through I would be shocked. |

He was supposed to ship on Monday, so pretty obvious by now that he is not going to. He came online yesterday just to lock thread...no response to any messages sent.

hope it still work out for you guys, did you send bitcoins directly to him no escrow?
i hesitated when i messaged him and he said there are still many gold 1btc available even though looking through the response it seems they are all sold already. Then the other guy came on accusing him of being a scammer made up my mind not to deal.
Sucks, it's one of bitcoin's greatest pro and con - absolutely no recourse after you send coins.
