Why my 2nd order was my last one with Amagi metals.

I placed a silver round order to test the water over a month ago, and received it. And when it came time to place another order, I had a very rude awakening!

The form turned green indicating the the order had been fulfilled but the page suddenly redirected somewhere where I could no longer seem to get back to it to get an order number.

No matter, I'm sure that the order was at least placed. But then I got an email asking me if I was having trouble placing my order.

I wrote back and said NOO!! The order was PLACED! So they wrote back and said, "Please send us order details." Which I did, but I gave my phone number as 954 555 1212.

She wrote back saying that they could not fulfill the order without a phone number.

These people clearly do not understand libertarian aspects of bitcoin. Otherwise, she would have just put in the phone number that I supplied her with: 954 555 1212 -- which is the phone number I used for the last order, and for all orders placed at Agora Commodities.

So in a country where the NSA listened to 200 million calls in a month, she is asking me for my real phone number!

People in America seem to have no real understanding of the impact of Snowden, but I do not expect it from people in the bitcoin community itself.

TL;DR: I am unhappy with Amagi Metals and will be placing no orders in the future.
