Not all pre-mined coins are scams, it depends of the purpose of the pre-mining. In this case the money is going to a good cause so I think it would have more legitimacy than most other coins, so long as this is actually an official coin by Max Keiser. McxNow was pretty quick to adopt the coin for trading as well, so at least their is a way to exchange the coins to fund projects. We need sites like StartJoin to get more funding so we can raise the value of all crypto currencies.

Another point I'd like to make is that all Crypto Currencies are experimental including Bitcoin. While I do hold value in several of these currencies it is still just a big experiment. They are not penny stocks, they are even more volatile as they are all prototype protocols/software. There is nothing apparently dishonest going on here, everyone should be aware of the extremely high risk in these currencies. You would be a fool to be completely confident in any of them.

I've been trying to remain as unbiased as possible, even defending him sometimes. Yet whenever someone offers an opinion he bans them.

Bump.

Completed transaction with crudpuppy, fast and smooth. He sent 0.124BTC first and I paid 100$ USD via Paypal.

I won't be transacting any further with Paypal today, but I will still do up to 200$ via Skrill. PM if interested.

Sent PM.

If you can do Skrill I will buy 200$ worth of BTC off of you.

Bump. Still buying Skrill or Paypal.

Would be willing to discuss other payment options as well, the only one I can't do for sure is MP because they are not available in Canada.

The only person I have done a Paypal purchase from is Monbux. You send it as a gift so its more difficult to charge back. That is fairly common I think.

And basically ignore any junior members that are trying to get you to send via Paypal.

No MoneyPaks in Canada unfortunately. I just assumed you got like a million requests and forgot about me. I understand your reasoning now, thanks.

Doesn't Webslicer sell for Gox + 3%? Right now Gox is trading less than Bitstamp so you're arguing over pennies. More importantly Webslicer told me he couldn't trade today. Is he holding out on me? Webslicer please PM me when you are available to sell some BTC.

I've never traded with him before, so I will let you know how it goes. I expect I will probably be sending him money first.

Yeah but that's not whats going on here. He's selling BTC and asking for a paypal payment. The only problem is that he's asking for the money first. Then saying things like "I never send first". When he has about 10 posts and no confirmed transactions. He's never sent anything as far as we know.

I suppose I could always charge back if I don't get the coins, but that's more effort than I willing to go through. Bottom line this screams scam to me.

I am sure this guy is going to get an endorsement from another junior with 5 posts. I guess we will have to wait and see. I would suggest to everyone to stay away though.

I bought off of Monbux with Paypal today and all went well. This week was the first time buying BTC without going through an exchange, had not really been aware of the chargeback issues until trying to purchase some coins which obviously turned out to be difficult. It only illustrates why BTC is so important as a payment method, it offers a way to receive money without risk of charge back. I can't wait until I am free of fiat...

I think this guy is a scammer. I sent him a PM and he responded to me saying


Selling far below exchange rate, he's a junior member and he is expecting money first. Be cautious.

If anyone has successfully traded with this guy please say so.

Will offer 200$ USD if doing Skrill, or will offer 100$ USD/CAD if doing Paypal. Those are my limits for today, but I will do more later if all goes smooth. My Paypal is verified, and I've done two successful trades on this forum so far.

If you are junior or have no reputation you send first. For well known traders with reputation I will send first.

I will buy BTC via PayPal. I won't send first to a junior member either.

Monbux is trustworthy as well, dealt with him today.

Thanks. This guy is real deal. Purchased 0.025BTC from him with no problems. I also just purchased another 0.03BTC again with no problems.

We are slowly escalating our transaction sizes to gain more mutual trust. I hope to do more business in the future.

Monbux is legit. Bought 0.025BTC to start to gain trust.

I will be purchasing more from him in the future and I will continue posting my experience with him here.

I am interested in Buying BTC via Paypal.  Sent PM yesterday.

Bump... I can pay Skrill/Paypal. We can discuss other Payment options as well but I cannot do MoneyPak because it is not available in Canada.

bump

Come on guys don't pm and ask for me to send first with no reputation... If you have senior members calling you a scammer, and only juniors giving you good feedback that counts as no reputation.
