It's now $100K USD due to Lemon Way deleting a mundane tweet asking where they could obtain bitcoins, when the answer was walking distance to Paymium's back door, a back door, I may add, that used to launder bitcoins.
Seriously you should read your own thread :
That deal is now off the table due to Lemon Way deleting their tweet(s) expressing interest in obtaining bitcoins three days prior to the InstaWallet "hack" because I now honestly believe they, too, are hiding shit.
You should know that at the time of the hack, the banking partner of Paymium was Aqoba, a subsidiary of "Crédit Mutuel", one the big french banks.
It is well documented everywhere.
Lemon Way came later, when they relaunched Bitcoin-Central (around Q4 of 2013)
I have no idea when exactly Lemon Way started talking with Paymium, but the tweet they deleted only shows they were noobs by the time. Nothing more.
The least I will now accept is $150K USD via BTC. (not meant as a diss toward you, ghdp, kind sir) Now, I look even less retarded, eh?
On March 27, 2013, Sébastien Burlet asked via his Twitter account
https://twitter.com/lemonway how to obtain bitcoins as shown below.
Yet, just 24 hours earlier guess who he is setting next to. I bet you'll never guess in a million years. Hint: GG.

I have to admit, that's some n00b!
"Damn, I was sitting right next to that Bitcoin dude, and never took the time ask him how I can get me own hands on some precious. What to do? What to do? AHHHhhhh! Me thinkith I use my Twitter account and ask me keen followers if they know, for they're the bestest. Later, when I'm well-versed and somehow weasel my way into that very lucrative Bitcoin space, I'll simply delete the tweet, and nobody will be the wiser, eh, Kitty?"
"Meow!"
Here's another mundane tweet that Lemon Way opted to delete:

Want more proof that we're not dealing with a n00b here? Okay, here it is:
http://www.lefigaro.fr/conso/2012/06/14/05007-20120614ARTFIG00693-le-smartphone-revolutionne-le-paiement-en-ligne.phpSébastien Burlet is the only person that commented on the article linked above (I had to use Google Translator, for the page won't translate on its own like they normally do)
In the mobile payment, there are payment face to face with the merchant, which will replace a portion of the payment made by credit card now, and remote payment is made by bank transfer, check, or screws companies transfer Money well known diasporas from former French colonies, for example, or money for the unbanked.
The smartphone also enables sending money away easily between people. Thus it is possible to make a connection between his bank card and mobile number, much like iTunes makes a connection with the card and iTunes account; then send money to a mobile phone number. Without the need for bank details of the recipient. Mobile revolution that transforms eg Apple iPhone Genuine remote payment. This is the service launched by LemonWay since June 1 in France for example. Or Dwolla, Venmo USA. Or PingIt, mobile payment service in Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom. Chase QuickPay or the USA.
For sure, for sure, that Sébastien Burlet is one amazing n00b. What to know what's even more amazing? Thought so! Wait to read what the translated article he was commenting to. I took the liberty and bolded the important part. Fair warning! Don't dip into the popcorn just yet.
Digital portfolios will multiply in France in the coming months.
To pay online with a smartphone, the customer, his credit card in hand, still has laboriously enter the 16 digits on the small screen. But that will change. Soon, it will be enough to click on the website of e-shopping on a button V.me (Visa) or PayPass (MasterCard), for example, to set indicating only its identifier (name, e-mail ...) and a secret code. Bank details (account number or card) have been previously registered with MasterCard or Visa (usually via the bank) or other institutions who consider themselves legitimate to propose the solution of payment: PayPal, telephone operators mobile, etc..
In France, Buyster or Kwixo (Crédit Agricole) already offer this simplified method of payment. But only with certain partners e-merchants. Offers major operators, could provide a network of wider acceptance, are eagerly awaited. MasterCard has just announced the global launch of this formula with its digital portfolio, the PayPass Wallet. It should arrive in France in the first half of 2013.
In the fall for Visa
"His generalization depend on the speed with which banks, retailers, service providers will adapt to this new offering," says Jorn Lambert, at MasterCard. For its part, Visa announced its solution, called V.me in the fall. PayPal and intends to use the smartphone revolution to push his advantage, highlighting the PayPal account.
The stakes are high: to capture a large market of payment. Because consumers have already adopted the smartphone to do their shopping on the web. "More than 16% of traders who work with us in 2011 received a payment from a mobile," notes Gimena Diaz, commercial director of PayPal France. Especially, professionals predict that the smartphone could also be used to remotely adjust purchases in stores "hard". "We see every day that the boundary between traditional commerce and e-commerce is falling," says Marc Jaugey, at PayPal. Soon, the user can control the menu at fast food, pay on his smartphone before going to search around the corner. Or offer a new sportswear by comparing prices on the Internet by going to the store to select the model, and paying on his smartphone to save queuing at the checkout.
Internet can he have his money?
Facebook has created Facebook Credits, which can be bought on the website and become a virtual currency to pay safely games or applications, even from a mobile. In recent years, a "free" software (it does not belong to business) issues, he Bitcoins, which are traded on the sites (bitcoin-central.net, for example) to about $ 6 a. "Some 9 million bitcoins have already been created," notes Gonzaga Grandval, society Paymium. Few e-retailers accept this virtual currency, but users will sometimes use them to pay a restaurant, a taxi ... Since last April, the Yesibank, a French company, has created a new currency: the Yes.
Yes you earn by visiting certain sites, collecting friends on Facebook and used to go shopping with discounts at Virgin, Pixmania, Brandalley ... Example: 1000 yes + € 2 = 1 movie download is a 60% reduction
That's pretty fuckin' amazing to find an article where the sole commenter is commenting on an Bitcoin-based entity a year prior to them both sitting next to each other to give a talk on virtual currency and payment systems, yet said commenter had to ask his twerps where he could get his hands on some bitcoins. What are the odds?
The following image comes to mind, hopefully, you all, get its meaning.
To be clear, davout, the minimum settlement I would now consider is $150K USD via BTC, thanks to the above revelation.
I have done nothing today except work at this thread of which I've yet to reach its end, albeit I did take a quick breakfast break, but posted about David while taking a shit - literally!
