Wow! What a great success story. I bet you and Justin are the best buddies now. You got your silver and  now you're doing his PR campaign for him. OP's claims can be forgotten because of your glorious photos. I'm a high-risk foreign customer anyway. Good job! Both of you. I'm sure that Mark Karpeles is in desperate need of guys like you Eric. If you successfully traded on Mt.Gox please post about it in details and help him out.
The only thing that Justin can't seem to manage still is copying and pasting the correct tracking numbers. He's got to hire some highly trained professional for that.
If you prefer a version without the sarcasm, then I would write this: As I've mentioned above, I´m a happy Coinabul customer. But I'm not going to post my positive reviews in a thread, that was started by someone who really got defrauded by that company. Positive feedback is just as important, but there's a place for it. In your case its this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156256 If you want to be objective and impartial, read previous 2 posts by smoothie here, you might learn something.
You've been kept in the dark for 1.5 months. Now you're writing “thank you Justin” in large colourful fonts and diverting attention away from this liar. Is it Stockholm syndrome? Or you just have no respect for someone, in who's shoes you nearly ended up yourself?


Not sure why you have to be sarcastic. I reported exactly what happened. I also added a warning so other people know what they are getting into (you are right that my post may be sending the wrong message to someone who doesn't bother reading). Anyway I have to give him the benefit of the doubt because he actually sent me my silver (and still has a neutral rating).



Let me explain through an example. Let's imagine that I put up a huge billboard with Monsanto's logo on it. Then I claim that I'm not advertising this company, because in the corner of the billboard there's a disclaimer, and it's stating in a 100 lines of small text that Monsanto's products cause cancer and destroy ecosphere. In a same way you can't claim that you have zero responsibility for reader's subconscious decisions.
Anyway, thanks for changing at least a part of your post. Sorry, if I've been too aggressive towards you.

Gliss, buddy, you need to stop being complicit in the Bytecoin premine, you're turning Coinmarketcap into an embarrassment if you do.

Here's some more reading on the topic - http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/28gz22/bytecoin_bcn_on_coinmarketcap/ciazltj

Don't worry, the fact that he chose to ignore your posts makes people draw their conclusions. But we can't do much about the site, it's not a democracy.

I have install the wallet using the following tutorial - https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-make-the-darkcoin-wallet-for-linux.214/
Unfortunately, it is not synchronizing, saying: "No block source available".

Could you advice?



Those instructions are a little bit incomplete. You should open the first page in this thread and read the latest DarkSend Progress Report in .pdf format. Basically you should create a file with the name darkcoin.conf with a line "addnode=23.23.186.131" (without quotes) and put that file in your .darkcoin directory. In that pdf you'll also find a link to the new executable file, download it and replace the one you have now, check permissions, make it executable. Unfortunately, all this has any point ONLY if you have a 64-bit OS.

Hope that helps.

Re: Bitcoin Core (Bitcoin-Qt) 0.9.1 released - update required

we need the Bitcoin PPA to be updated to 0.9.1.

unless someone could publish a clear, coherent way to compile the Bitcoin tar.gz

Luke-Jr has already addressed this issue:

If you are using the graphical version of 0.9.0 on any platform, you must update immediately.
If you are using packages from your Linux distro (Ubuntu PPA included), 0.9.1 has no changes for you.
Instead, you must upgrade to a fixed OpenSSL version.
So if libssl1.0.0 has been updated then all is good and we can still use 0.9.0 ?   Cool
Just be sure it's updated to a fixed version.

And bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz is compiled. A little uncooperative maybe Smiley but compiled.

Can someone tell me why the bitcoin-qt file isn't executable in linux?
I use a very simple workaround. I created a shortcut on the desktop and pointed it to the bitcoin-qt file. That's it.

Sorry it's all Greek to me I only use Linux for Bitcoin-QT. Can you explain me step by step how I can bitcoin-qt get running. At version 0.8.6. the bitcoin-qt file was executable but in the new version it is a shared libary. I opened the context menu and tried to open the file with "run application" but nothing happens.

1. Use instructions from this link: http://xmodulo.com/2013/11/create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-linux.html (or google linux+desktop+shortcut)
2. In the “command” field put the correct path to your “bitcoin-qt” file, i.e. “/home/user/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux/bin/64/bitcoin-qt” (without quotes) for example.
3. Uncheck “run in terminal” and check “is executable”, if those checkboxes exist.
4. Use new shortcut (or launcher).

On March 21 2014 I finally received a package from goldsilverbitcoin.com.
That's 7.5 months after the order was placed, and after 2 failed attempts to ship the coins, according to Justin. Package has arrived within 10 days after it was sent.

What did I order: 5 Silver Libertads (1.35 BTC) and 5 American Silver Eagles (1.26 BTC) plus shipping (0.15 BTC). Total for the entire order is 2.76 BTC

What did I receive: 10  American Silver Eagles, out of wich 2 have very visible finger prints.

I wrote about the issue in this thread in post #18, before the coins were sent. I contacted Justin by email about the issue. No compensation for switching more expensive coins for the cheaper ones or for the delay was offered. The theme of a refund wasn't mentioned by Justin since October 24 of last  year. I guess I should be glad that I finally received something, if not exactly what I ordered. If what it takes to get your order (in my case not exactly mine though) from Justin is to start a new thread at the forum, then I would still suggest to stay away from goldsilverbitcoin.com. At this moment at least 2 people are in situation similar to mine: BuyGoldWithBitcoin and crabpot and so far they haven't posted information about getting their orders from Justin.

I've deleted my negative feedback from SilverVigilante's profile, since the real issue for me is more or less solved. But I'm leaving my posts in this thread almost unedited, because I don't think that what happened is a set of some freak coincidences.

Actually, I didn't mind some delays. It was made obvious at the time of order, that five Mexican Libertads were not in stock. But I didn't expect that the word “delay” meant “never”. And yes, contrary to what Justin wrote, not all coins were Silver Eagles. Only half. So, maybe he wrote that for the argument's sake in the second post, or he just doesn't give a crap about his obligations.
Site buygoldwithbitcoin.com looks very good. Bookmarked it. Can't wait for your review. Don't know what can be Justin's excuse in your case.

Hello,

I am not a scam artist. I am better at other arts, like writing and music.

Capitalist Comrade made the post to BitcoinTalk the same day he sent me an email that he had not received his package.

Having a whoisguard on my website also doesn't prove that I am a scam artist.

My name is Justin O'Connell. There's a phone number on my website. An email. I am active in the bitcoin space. etc, etc.

I am on the internet in lots of places.

Please have more faith in humanity, my friends. Y'all gotta chill out..

The proper tracking is LC319311135US. Got tracking numbers mixed up it seems. Or the post office messed up. I am on the phone with them now.

Regardless, the package clearly has not made it to it's destination.

So what will happen?

After I learn a bit more info from the Post Office, I will likely merely end up shipping the customer more Silver Eagles. And I hope you all will praise me as an honest being.

Thanks for your patience everyone while I sort this out Smiley




I think that I should contact USPS again with the new customs label number (LC319311135US), although it seems pretty much pointless at the moment. The only reason for this post is the quote, it won’t allow SilverVigilante to edit away the number he supplied.

To SilverVigilante:
So you are sticking with incompetence then. I thought we already established that numbers LCXXXXXXXXXUS are NOT tracking numbers, they are customs label numbers. And they don’t allow international tracking. So refer to them accordingly.  What happened to the first number you sent me: RE5214267890? Dog ate a couple of letters?

You claim that two packages already did not make it to their destination. And you insist on promising to send me a third one? I’m sorry, that will happen only after you waste some more of my time. And let me guess, that package will still be untraceable like the rest?

I’m not holding my breath about the refund either. I just want others not to make the same mistake I did.

Update:
I filled in contact form on usps.com 2 times because they did not get back to me for about 2 weeks. Today I got a response to my second inquiry:
Quote
Dear Customer,
I regret learning of the inconvenience you have experienced. This email is in response to your inquiry. We can not see the address on the package, but is is going to Great Brittan, The United Kingdom.  The last scan on this package was on 11/26/13. when it left the los Angeles sort facility.
Thank you for the opportunity to address this matter with you…

Either SilverVigilante is a scam artist or he is completely incompetent, because I still live in Russia.

To omegaflare: Thanks for the info. I should make it a habit to check domain registration before ordering.

This is what I got from USPS:
“…if you need to track your International Mail please have the US senders consider using our Global Express Guaranteed or Express Mail International services.  Delivery information is available to most countries for C-series customs label numbers that come with Regular Priority Mail International, or the Medium and Large Flat Rate boxes.  You can also receive confirmation of delivery when using our Registered Mail service in conjunction with the specific class of mail you use.”
I’m sure this information about “nature of international shipping” could have been provided to you in any Post office. And please, don’t promise to send me anything by mail. Those packages tend to get lost, remember? Now I insist on a refund.

goldsilverbitcoin.com is a scam

What happened:
On 5 of august 2013 I ordered 10 silver coins from goldsilverbitcoin.com. I received confirmation of payment to my Email but for a month I haven’t received any additional information about order being sent. So, I decided to contact customer service. Pretty soon I got a response from CEO of company Justin, or SilverVigilante on this forum. He informed me that my order has been shipped and I should have received a tracking number. After that I was provided with a tracking number, that doesn’t work on USPS site. Justin wrote me that he filed a report with USPS but we had to wait 2 weeks before anything could be done. I decided to give a guy a benefit of a doubt and waited more, especially, since I was promised a “swift” refund in BTC. Three and a half months (!) after order was placed and after numerous emails back-and-forth I was finally provided not with a refund but with a number that worked on USPS site (LC319311158US). That number supposed to track new envelope with silver. Only tracking stuck at “in transit” since November 26, 2013. I decided to contact US Postal Service to find out point of destination of the envelope or at least a country. They did not provide me with that information however I was informed that the tracking number I received from Justin is a “customs label number” which does not allow international tracking. So here I am, no silver, no BTC. After 5.5 months.
Edit: The envelope SilverVigilante claims to have sent to me, in reality was sent to UK. Please read post #6 for details.
Edit: I've got a new tracking number (that would be the 4-th!). It finally starts with the letter C.
Edit: I've got the package from Justin. Not exactly what I ordered. Please read post #21 for details.
Scammers Profile Link:

Additional Notes:
I did not initially insist on a refund because the price of bitcoin substantially changed. I didn’t want a guy to lose his business and I was not sure if I was really dealing with a scammer or with a victim of Postal Service/customs fraud. Now I am.
In email from September 20-th he wrote me that he filed report with USPS. In email from October 24-th he wrote that he did not. In one of those emails is a lie.
I live in Russia but I have ordered and received items from US in small envelopes and in big boxes, with and without tracking numbers. I received coins from Coinabul despite bad reviews. I even received mining equipment from much hated by everyone BFL. So, to me goldsilverbitcoin.com is one of a kind.
Sorry if my English is not very good.
