Great idea. So next time someone asks me if they can buy anything in the real world with Bitcoins, I'll just tell them that if they want to buy a head of lettuce, they have to work on convincing the grocery store to begin accepting Bitcoins.

Would be nice to get my 1.5 BTC back, but I'm not holding my breath.

Perhaps, but I think these events will also help strengthen the currency by giving users an incentive to demand certain reassurances from service providers. The tech is still young so it is still trying to find its footing.

Let me free!

You're missing the point. TorWallet isn't appealing because I enjoy giving money to some random stranger. It is appealing because it is a quick-n-dirty throwaway wallet. I only had a small sum stored on the service, mostly to test it out because I was curious.

That being said, there are ways to run this type of business while providing some reassurance to your users that you're not going to run off with their coins. If you are going to start a service like TorWallet, you should be willing to make your business more transparent. This includes putting actual contact info on your site, including your name, an office address, and a phone number. If you're a one-man operation, contract with a call-center service at the very least. Just because your service is only accessible through TOR and your users wish to remain super-anonymous, doesn't mean you need to keep your identity hidden, Mr. TorWallet.

I've been having the same issue for like 5 days now. Hope Mr. TorWallet responds soon because I really like the concept.

Is Torwallet working for anybody? I can't seem to transfer any of my coins as I keep getting a message telling me that the hot wallet is exhausted. This has being going on for a while.

Hi, I've been using Bitcoin to diversify my portfolio. It's been an interesting experience.

Not a gamblin' man, but this is pretty sweet.

I sure do.

Dickroast is such a reddit username.

Very interesting discussion. Yeah.
