You presume all merchants like the fact that they can get a chargeback.

Personally as a merchant myself I dont like chargebacks. I honor what I say I will do and accept only cryptos that have a track record that I trust not to do that.

Your definition of "standard" is not necessarily what people would do as oppose to what they are required to work with.

Just like how we in the US do not have a choice but to use Dollars as the currency for most debts private and public and for payment.

Just because it is a "standard" doesn't make it morally right nor does it mean that it is the way things should be.

Ask any merchant if they like having charge backs. I suspect you will find very few that enjoy getting a chargeback especially if they held up their end of the deal and delivered the goods.

In my scenario it would assume I sent goods to another user for payment in VRC...then a huge VRC scam takes place...then a roll back occurs and I do not have my VRC because of the roll back. Now tell me how that would be a fair/standard situation which is what we are really discussing as opposed to your "every day business" scenario? How?

Your argument is pretty flimsy there mate. I know plenty of merchants, business owners of various sizes, and while none of them obviously enjoy it, it is a potential cost of doing business, and they will be the first to tell you that. There are also laws on the books which allow them to mitigate losses suffered in those instances, and I don't think it far fetched to believe that those same laws could/will be extended to cover crypto transactions as it becomes more mainstream. If you as a 'merchant' only accept crypto, then I imagine your actual scope of understanding regarding this topic is at the very best, virtually non-existent.

The bottom line is that there is, and will always be, some chance of fraud when doing business, because we do not live in a perfect world. However people like you are here making the implication that this is not the case, when anyone who has ever owned business knows it is completely and totally unavoidable.

Even if there was the chance of a potential rollback again in the future (and the odds of that are slim, lets be blunt it is being blown insanely out or proportion for an event that happened once), it still makes a Vericoin transaction statistically far safer by several orders of magnitude than other forms of transactions that they already accept, and like any other crypto, they already stand to save a fair bit in transaction fees by accepting it.

Comparatively speaking, this entire ordeal isn't even a blip on the radar of daily fraudulent activities, yet a handful of people here are treating it as if it were some kind of ultra high risk transaction when we all know it's not. At this point in time, I really have decided that such people are one of three things, intentionally FUDing the coin, completely out of touch with reality, or just plain stupid. I am positive you fall into one of these three categories, now we just need to find out which one...
