I appreciate PG for all his hard work everywhere on these forums and his line of questioning here.  I did try the service and got my (expensive) coins almost immediately.  Just for the heck of it I did check my credit card charges and so far there is only the one charge:

Code:
Detailed Information  
Transaction Date:  December 05, 2011
Posted Date:  December 07, 2011  
Transaction Description:  SIMPLECOIN.COM 626-340-6865 WA  
Charge:  $40.20  
Category:  Merchandise  
Merchant Information:  SIMPLECOIN.COM 626-340-6865 WA

And no other bogus charges.  I personally don't expect any but I will let you know and if there are any I will simply dispute them!

BTW SimpleCoins:  What is your name so I can more personally thank you for your great service?

It's giving the impression that Simplecoin with which I you have never dealt with, is somehow hiding something and looking to scam people. Subtle badmouthing of a service you don't know while claiming to be a potential customer.

Let's wait and see what his real customers have to say on this forum.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Personally, I'm just seeking fuller disclosure before I provide my credit card number to purchase Bitcoin from SimpleCoin.
Be honest, you won't ever buy anyway regardless of the striptease simplecoin performs to please you.
Simplecoin can't ever steal your money because you can issue a chargeback and you know that. This 'concern' is all just for your own entertainment.

That's my private opinion.

Although I do respect your opinion, you are wrong. This is not for my private entertainment! I'm not even concerned about the chargeback issue. And I'm not looking for a striptease by simplecoin to please me. With that, would you care to take another stab as to why I've asked questions? Take your time.

On a side note, I'm not sure why you opt to express your kind opinion is this fashion. Please let me know where I'm off base, Blizz.

It's up to you to notice the extra fraudulent charges and call your credit card company.  A lot of people don't notice...

Bruno, that address seems to be the Nike campus in Beaverton, OR?

The Nike campus is nearby:

Quote
Description: 15500 SW Jay Street, Beaverton, OR 97006

2 building office/flex project totaling 42,440 RSF on 3.93 acres. 4/1,000 SF parking ratio (172 spaces). Class A interior finishes constructed in 1990 and 1998. Attractive landscaping and monument signage.

100% lease by three credit-worthy tenants.

Located in the heart of Beaverton, adjacent to Nike World Campus and 1/2 mile from light rail stop. Abundant area amenities nearby, including Costco, Fred Meyer, Cedar Hills Shopping Center, LA Fitness and numerous restaurants.

Since I've directly asked the challenging question "What is your name?" simplecoins has logged in twice, each time after me posting my posts. Prior, they've answered all other questions promptly and thoroughly, but have avoided this one like the plague.

I am not sure if I understand this question.  I see our LLC showing up on that link.

Yes! So do I, as well as everybody else reading that page. But what's lacking is a name. The name of the person who incorporated the LLC. I was surprised to not see it here.

Ah. I see.  State of Washington doesn't list that.  If you look up other entities you'll see there records similar to ours.

Quote
Ah! I see, now! That makes perfect sense. One more thing, if you don't mind. For the record, what is your name?

Logged on shortly after I posted this question, but did not address it.

Post #39 = https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.642664 (scroll up to read)

Again, logged in after I posted that post.

Here's an easier question while you're hunting your name: Is this site hosted on Amazon's cloud?

Fair Warning: I do have other questions in regards to your 15500 SW Jay Street address, but I'm keeping them in reserve while awaiting the more pressing question--What is your name?

Personally, I'm just seeking fuller disclosure before I provide my credit card number to purchase Bitcoin from SimpleCoin.

Therefore, if the phone number is correct, the following address and relative information is correct?:

Administrative Contact:
Admin, Domain [email protected]
SimpleCoin, LLC.
15500 SW Jay Street # 37608
Beaverton, Oregon 97006-6018
United States
+1.4259993001

Source: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?k=KXr4YNVPhrelzki2EqX0Xg==&domain=simplecoin.com&prog_id=GoDaddy

I also called the 800 number provided by http://www.buydomains.com/EnterContactInfo.do?domain=SimpleCoin.com and, according to them, the domain is still for sale for $1,895. I asked Joel, the rep I spoke with, that if this domain was sold recently, would it still be listed for sale. Joel informed me that the moment it sells, it immediately gets removed as being for sale. I provided him my email address so that he can send me more information and, moreover, provided me a record of our conversation.

I am surprised to not see that it is for sale on Godaddy, when a few hours earlier it was for the same asking amount. Odd!

By chance, did you read my last question? I've noticed you've been online since I penned it, therefore assumed you would come to your thread to see if there's new questions that needed addressing. Perhaps, you're still working on the answer. Take you time. It's a tough question, one I've asked twice earlier--3 total--but somehow still not received a direct answer.

As before, I look forward to kind reply.

Sincerely, Bruno

Would you be willing to provide better prices for those providing more proof of ID along with credit information?

How far back in time can one issue chargebacks or otherwise scam SimpleCoin? Would it be practical to allow customers to provide a BTC deposit until the transaction is safe, in exchange for a better price?

That being the case, I'm surprised that the 'for sale' sign is still up. The last time I sold a domain, as well as purchased a domain via this route, the sign(s) came down. Somewhat like purchasing from eBay. Once somebody buys what's listed, the auction item is no longer for sale.

I can't speak for GoDaddy on this, not sure why it is still listed.  But I can assure you the domain is definetly not for sale. Smiley  I'm pretty sure it's the previous owner's listing, as it's about what we paid to acquire the name.

This is actually the previous owner's listing for the domain, whom we purchased it from.

Quote

I am not sure if I understand this question.  I see our LLC showing up on that link.

Quote

This is not us. Probably the previous owner of the 800 number..

Quote

That number is correct, it is the VM we use for our domain whois.  Our main number however is 1 (800) 791-2755.

Is simplecoin.com and simplecoin.us two different companies operated by two different people?

Simplecoin.com is not affiliated with simplecoin.us

Quote
The reason for asking is I'd feel more comfortable using a credit card for this service if I had a general idea of whom I'm dealing with.

Completely understand.  I guess it will take some time to earn some trust.

wow thats quite an expensive way to buy bitcoins.
It's expensive, but fulfills a certain need (people who want bitcoins now, or who don't want to deal with getting money into the exchanges).

Ordered 10 coins, paid a premium for them but got them almost instantly.  Nice service.  Good luck with it.

Whoah! 30% price difference to go from Dwolla's 4-day turnaround to "instant".  No thank you.  Good concept, though.

So much code.
Yup!  As soon as you go to checkout your bumped to https.

I really think that you should deliver HTTPS end to end for the site. As I clicked the checkout button, I got the red Chrome warning page about the site not being what I'm looking for. This behavior will certainly scare off a chunk of non-techie users.
