I don't know - I just recently noticed that only the smaller denominations are for sale at Memory Dealers. I know PayPal threw a fit, but haven't heard if the credit card companies threw a fit too, or if there were recent problems I haven't heard about (fraud, etc.)

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

There should be a special paypal transaction, where the user agrees that there cannot be a chargeback. I refuse all paypal transactions as seller and always want paypal as buyer  Another huge problem are those stupid fees of 3% as a seller |

I refuse all paypal transactions as seller and always want paypal as buyer Another huge problem are those stupid fees of 3% as a seller Can't because Paypal is simply a front for CC. If a paypal account is hacked and the hacker uses it to purchase $20,000 in a no-chargeback tx (possibly to himself) do you think a) the customer is just going to say "oh well guess I have a $20,000 CC bill" or b) Paypal says "guess we eat $20K"? The entire credit card model is based around no personal responsibility (except by merchants who take the cost/weight of all fraud). You can't build an entire economic system w/ no responsibility and then at the highest level make it irreversible. If you want irreversible tx it needs to be irreversible from the ground up. |

Not many people are willing to sell bitcoins through paypal. It has a horribly bad track record of being scammed.

I'm just not sure why some people are so set on PayPal.
An alternative that's more generally accepted is Dwolla (or depending on where you have your checking account there are other alternatives).
If you've got funds in a Dwolla account, you might as well use MtGox. It's a piece of cake once you get the funds to Dwolla. |

Besides, It'll drive me crazy trying to figure where it came from.

Nope, only bank transfer to dwolla. Thanks. Is there are any comission to transfer from dwolla to Gox? BTW I have read that dwolla was attacked and hacked in past, so is it safe? |

What's the deal with VirWox ? Do you need to actually have an account on second life to do the PP > L$ > BTC trick ?
