This is very shocking developmental

I imagine 0.0% of people receiving the faxes will look at it that way. To me, spamming will only sway people negatively rather than convincing anybody that Bitcoin is legitimate. The only people who will view it otherwise are people who already believe in Bitcoin. In my opinion, anyway.

Okay. That was me. I just wanted to make sure I was actually allowed to steal it. But I guess I'm derailing this thread a bit. Sorry.

I'm re-reading this and now I'm undecided. I first thought it was a bounty. Is it?

But is this possible/feasible? Is there really a way to measure sleepiness or distractedness or whatever else? If there is, your idea I think is something I would agree with.

I'ven't ever heard a plan like this, but it is indeed quite intriguing, particularly the last paragraph.

I would. Please proceed...

I'll see if I can try another browser soon.


It was just a thought. It may not be doable. It's awesome as is Since carrying it around in your wallet sort of defeats the purpose, my thought is probably bad, but maybe a function then to print a "public" bill that has only the public key and doesn't fold... that way you can carry it around without worrying that your funds will be stolen, even if your (physical in real life) wallet is. Both (the "secret" bill and "public" bill) would be able to print on one sheet of paper.

Anyway, just spitballing. I think it's really cool already. Cheers!

Very cool! Works well.

The calibration didn't align the front and back 100%, but it probably has to do with the printer rather than the design. I just had to cut the edge a little closer. All this did was uncenter the Bitcoin symbol over the private key, although it was entirely visible. I used Zoom: 3, Shift: 7 if that helps anybody else.

Any chance there will be an option to specify the size? Would that mess up the Zoom/Shift settings? I think it would be cool to have it the same size as paper currency, but I suppose paper currency has different sizes throughout the world.

Great stuff

For some thread relevance... I have vowed to stop using Mt. Gox (barely used them anyway) and instead move to CampBX. I have not used them yet, but I probably will sometime this week.

For what it's worth, I was able to instantly scan all of the codes from this page without issue.

I wonder if the lower resolution coupled with a lower quality scanner was the problem...? I used a Galaxy S3, but I have no idea how that camera compares to anything else.

This was my request. I exchanged a few e-mails before placing the bet. The responses were quick and seemed to be honest, but of course that's not much to go on.

I lost by about a billion points (had the over lol), so unfortunately I cannot say anything about the payouts.

I guess we'll know in the coming hours whether something went wrong or if it was a scam all along. As a betting man, I know where I'm placing my money... 

I should probably report that nibor squared everything away shortly after his last post above. I received the addresses and did not have to pay again.

And then immediately after, the price dropped to where what I paid for 2 addresses could now get me 25 lol. I decided to do one more just for the heck of it. Payment was accepted automatically and quickly and I received the address quickly as well. It appears everything has been fixed.

With the new pricing, it's a good service if you don't want to generate your own and/or have the computational ability to do so very quickly.

Is this still a thing? E-mail sent through contact form a few days ago still unanswered and the statuses are showing unpaid, but they have been. Just trying to figure out if I'm being too impatient or if something is messed up...

Somehow Mr. CryptoCurrent was able to deal with me, which is no easy feat. Super friendly, communicative, and of course most importantly provided a timely service exactly as promised. As you might deduce from my username, I had been looking for an alternative to my former go-to service. I've found it. Very happy all around.

https://www.btc-e.com/

It's listed at the bottom of the far right column. It currently says 146 USD.

Well, this is a problem with BitInstant, not Bitcoin itself. There are many other payment processors. BitInstant was, until now, just the most convenient for many. In the past, I've had nothing but positive experiences, but this is enough that I will never use them again.

I think I prefer your first one.

There seem to be a few alternatives where you can deposit cash at a bank, but unfortunately despite being huge national banks, they do not have branches anywhere near me (which is why I've always used BitInstant).

Anyway, despite my dissatisfaction with BitInstant right now, this is their support thread and I think we should respect that. There is a wealth of knowledge on these forums. I'm sure you'll be able to find other threads that can answer your question in more detail.

BitStamp seems to be gone as an option now too. I was considering trying BTC-e and then BitStamp but they disappear before I get the chance. It's probably good that they're not an option if the orders can't be fulfilled. I'm really disappointed with all this, but I still don't really have a reasonable alternative. I hope it gets worked out soon, but it seems like it's just getting messier  

Speaking of which, I just noticed that BTC-e is no longer listed as a deposit method. I don't know if this is old news or how long it's been removed.
