From the look of his last posts, he might be affiliated with "epiks", another known scammer
Care to back this statement up?

Confirming BCB's statement.

BTCMover claimed to have made a legit transaction with BCB, but wanted to buy more BTC and BCB was offline. I PM'ed BCB about it, and he told me he never received the PPUSD.

The recipient needs internet access. I plan to use this method if I for local, in person sale of my bitcoins for cash.

For example: I have a localbitcoin ad to sell 10BTC. Someone responds and we meet wherever he is comfortable with his internet access. I print and fund a 10BTC bill before going out to meet him/her. We exchange cash for paper, and they transfer the coin to there own wallet. Yes, they should have access, but I don't need anything other than my printed coin. I don't have a smart phone so this is ideal for me.

- So only the recipient has internet access in your example: he doesnt want to hand you cash until he sees the private key you are handing over actually has money in it. So he can scan it, hand it back and say it was already empty and runs away. Well he just stole the coins.
- (Well just let him scan the public key and not the private one) well ok in that case you can scam him by NOT putting the REAL private key under your thumb
- He doesnt want to hand you cash until he knows he can get bitcoins, you dont want him to scan any private key until you have cash
Have you never bought or sold anything in person? If you put the coin there, you know it's there. The other party saying it isn't and running off is no different than just plain stealing it in the first place. Actually, you even have proof that you funded the address.

If that requires escrow, everything requires escrow.

I assume it's the private key that's under your finger. Without any additional security measures, how can one be sure that a paper coin is unspent?

The idea with these is that the receiver of a bill scans the private key, immediately moving the funds to another address. The bill can then be discarded.


So stupid... if you NEED INTERNET ACCESS to verify it, then why is it in paper in the first place?

This is only useful for personal offline backup, never to be used for public transfer.

just under 400 usd for me. Their payment page includes Costco Credit, Costco Cash (prepay maybe), and gift certificates. Those may have some potential.

I'm curious about startup. It has to be spinning to produce the air cushion, and is otherwise touching in contact right?

I said springs in quotes because there's no springs.

Relevant info from Q&A with the inventor:

Q: Does the air bearing heat exchanger only work in a horizontal orientation? Or are other angles possible?

    JK: As discussed in the white paper, a downward restoring force many times that of the gravitational force acting on the mass of the heat-sink-impeller is generated by attractive interaction of the permanent magnet rotor and the high magnetic permeability stator. For this reason the device can operate in any orientation and the air gap varies little as a function of orientation angle.

naa, it would be impossible to sell a product where you could only mount it on a horizontal plane.  the motor shaft looks like it would hold it on, and when its running it floats on air, so that would not be a problem of orientation.
LOL YES IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM!

Gavity is everything!

well harddrives use an airbearing to allow the arm (head?) to float over the spinning platter at a ridiculously small distance, and I don't believe there is any active control to adjust downward force to correct for a change in orientation.

The air bearing upward force is balanced by a downward magnetic force. As long as these "springs" are very stiff relative to the weight of the impeller, it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello everyone. I've lurked these forums with 0 posts far too long. Wanting to PM/post in the securities forum for the umpteenth time has finally prompted me to get this taken care of.

I mine with a couple of 5770's on P2Pool using cgminer. I have used Slush's in the past. It's only a trickle, especially compared to months ago, but it has got me enough to put some to work on GLBSE. I have only made 1 BTC purchase - DropBox storage.

Looking forward to actually conversing instead of just reading.
