Re: [ANN] Cash4iota.com - The fastest and easiest method to buy/sell IOTA using cash
As one of the initial testers of cash4iota.com I can say that I have used this service for a trial purchase of a small amount of IOTA and everything went smoothly. I will surely be using this site for future trades. It would be nice if more people could use the service so there would be more options for both buyers and sellers but I guess IOTA isn't too popular on this forum.
Re: Looking for a Cryptocurrency website to buy! Paying in BTC!
I think you'll have better luck approaching the cryptocurrency news sites directly and express your intentions of purchasing. I don't think there many owners of such sites lurking around here to notice your offer.
Re: We'll buy anything you want on Amazon for 10% off + wonderful bounty program
Return anything up to 30 days. Warranty is covered by the manufacture as long as you have a receipt of purchase. Which is emailed to you upon purchase.
Are refunds given in the form of cash or crypto? And if crypto, will the refund be the original crypto amount paid or will it be a new amount based on price fluctuation?
Ah, but that was not your original question. Your original question was regarding a website that you own and use to buy BTC globally, in order to accumulate for yourself only, and whether in so doing whether you would be considered a Money Transmitter or operating a Money Service Business.
Now that you have addressed my response to you I can proceed to discuss. It is my understanding that you would not be considered a Money Service Business by FinCEN. MT requirements vary by state. Your activity would not be considered as MT activity in the State of Nevada where I am located.
Now if you act in a manner that crosses over into regulated activity, such as being given other peoples money to invest, or if you were a business entity, or you had partners and so on....then you might be considered as running a business in ways that States may view as as MT. There might also may be SEC issues.
There are potential tax issues. If you have been using your accumulated BTC to buy and sell for yourself and you are making a profit, this then becomes subject to capital gains taxes and income tax.
There are laws regarding countries that we are not allowed to conduct business with. This might be an issue if you are purchasing BTC from a person in one of these countries.
Finally, large transactions get the attention of FinCEN. You must be careful that you are not just turning a blind eye to larger transactions that may look suspicious without gathering some information about the seller.
My answers free and intended to be general and should not be relied upon in these areas. You should always seek out paid legal counsel.
I hope that helps:

Thanks for the info. Though my original response is the same. I still plan to buy and accumulate bitcoin for myself only. I am just intending to use it as cash for personal use and not sell it nor provide financial services etc.
Hi I have a question about using bitcoin. If I run a website where I buy bitcoin from users globally but I don't sell any, do I need to register as a money transmitter or money services business even though I am only buying bitcoins? Does such a website count as an exchange?
It depends upon your business model, if any, and what you intend to do with the BTC.

Assuming that the bitcoins will be used for personal use and/or internationally, how does the business model determine whether or not I would be considered a MT/MSB if I am only buying and never selling?

Try the following code and let me know if that works.I don't really want to run the app locally so it will be better if you add on skype or something,much better to solve in real time.
Yes that API keys should be passed a string only.
Code:
client.getAccounts({}, function(err, accounts) {
accounts.forEach(function(acct) {
console.log(acct.name + ': ' + acct.balance.amount + ' ' + acct.balance.currency);
acct.getTransactions(null, function(err, txns) {
txns.forEach(function(txn) {
console.log('txn: ' + txn.id);
});
});
});
});
accounts.forEach(function(acct) {
console.log(acct.name + ': ' + acct.balance.amount + ' ' + acct.balance.currency);
acct.getTransactions(null, function(err, txns) {
txns.forEach(function(txn) {
console.log('txn: ' + txn.id);
});
});
});
});
Yes that API keys should be passed a string only.
The error occurs at this line
Code:
accounts.forEach(function(acct) {
the extra code added comes after the error occurs and the app has already crashed. Yea I already created the API keys and set the relevant permissions already.
Shouldn't I be passing these API keys as string 'DqpXhGBhLAbXdW40y'? Otherwise it tells me DqpXhGBhLAbXdW40y is undefined.
^ The above code is what I initially used but I get an error at this line since the value is still null.
*Please note that I have followed the instructions obtained from github https://github.com/coinbase/coinbase-node but I'm not sure what specific files I'm supposed to copy and where I need to place them. I'm assuming this might be the cause of the error.*
Here is a screenshot of my code:
and this is a screenshot of the error I got:
In your code,replace the values with the keys like
Code:
var Client = require('coinbase').Client;
var client = new Client({'apiKey': DqpXhGBhLAbXdW40y, 'apiSecret': YWPcmKSbKtqgS7do49t5kBiSyA0D397C});

var coinbase = require('coinbase');
var client = new coinbase.Client({'apiKey': DqpXhGBhLAbXdW40y, 'apiSecret': YWPcmKSbKtqgS7do49t5kBiSyA0D397C});
client.getAccounts({}, function(err, accounts) {
accounts.forEach(function(acct) {
console.log('my bal: ' + acct.balance.amount + ' for ' + acct.name);
});
});
var coinbase = require('coinbase');

I'm having problems doing the simplest tasks such as displaying balance. I'm no pro at node.js but I think I should know enough to do this. Is anyoine familiar with the coinbase node.js API?
Their website contains some basic code for listing accounts but this always returns NULL when I run it:
var Client = require('coinbase').Client;
var client = new Client({'apiKey': 'myApiKeyHere',
'apiSecret': 'myApiSecretHere'});
client.getAccounts({}, function(err, accounts) {
console.log(accounts);
});
Does anyone have any experience with using this API? I'm willing to offer a $15 tip or more in btc if someone can help me with this API and some of the other node.js APIs. If you are willing to teach me this stuff for a higher fee then feel free to PM me about it. But I'm running on a low budget so I'm not in a position to pay the price of hiring a professional node.js developer.

I have an old ebay account, several actually but just to start I'll do 1 purchase if you can send the bitcoin first. As you are a new member and Im happy to leave feedback on forum to confirm your legitimate offer, I think this is fair. Will we actually receive the goods being sold or this is purely for the feedback to be left I guess.
Let me know details via PM and I'll send details thanks

I would like to confirm, that I have received 0.00194 BTC after buying the "item" on ebay for $0,99 and leaving a possitive feedback.
And as a bonus, I received a possitive feedback to my account as well.

Hi btc junkie,
Maybe it is a little OT, but are you interested in using a service like eBay, but decentralized? It is an app that accepts ETH. Thanks
