Every time I reread this thread I laugh my ass off. Also, half of the people in this thread are MIA.

I guess ol' punnelman boy abuser wishes he could better keep a secret.

selling his own ass, pimping boys, mortgage fraud, lease fraud, failure to address legal judgment, lying and slander, etc etc

Cried on his lame TV show - call the FBI! Get that NanaimoGold! He hurt my feelings!

Where are you now Brooce? I hope God's recent douching of NYC flushed your sorry ass out to sea.

Just to clarify; Bruce's referrence to "fugitives" couldn't possibly include me.

My real name, address and telephone number are in the whois record. I might be the easist man to locate in all of the bitcoin realm.

Nanaimo Gold is now the world's oldest running exchanger of digital currencies, the first exchanger of bitcoin and the only exchanger to run through the entire lifespan of bitcoin without a hack or more than a brief downtime.

A fugitve could not accomplish that.

#bitcoin-otc hasnt been hacked

As I recall, #bitcoin-otc was initiated about a year after the launch of bitcoin.

Madhatter and nanaimogold are obviously scumbags. That doesn't really help your case though, Bruce.

I think it'd be best for Bitcoin if you stepped out of the spotlight for now, and gave others a chance to step up. We need a chance to diversify and decentralize the Bitcoin "PR department". Just take a break from your promotional activities for a little while and wait for the air to clear.

Why would I want a trashy Rolex when I could have this beauty in ~~3-4 weeks~~ ~~8-10 weeks~~soon we swear we haven't already spent your BTC on a used jetski?

Maybe I'll even go for the $15k version. I like to use a little thing called class when I promote Bitcoins.

And I would use BTC for shady internet related stuff like SA. Just because you nobody has poked you yet (to the best of your knowledge) does not mean that you have not dropped your trousers and assumed the position.

SA's been around since the late '90s. It's not quite the same as some fly-by-night guy on a forum selling a $3000 luxury Bitcoin wristwatch that you pay upfront for and don't use escrow.

Besides, spending time on the phone with Visa or your bank to get your money back is way better than someone telling you "lol free market, bitch. shoulda been more careful" and never getting a penny back.

Yo dawg, wanna buy a rolex?

I caution people about the gas station near the rental car return of IAD. But I cannot say for sure that that is where mine got nicked...the people who helpfully hold my USD form of money did not see fit to bless me with that kind of info. I use greenbacks for shady deals (like buying gas) these days.

Yeah, same thing here. The bank didn't actually tell us, but, well, we'd only used that card there. When my main card gets stolen, well. Considering that payment processors have been hacked many times. I mean, really, there's just not much one can even do about it any more. If a payment processor gets hacked, well, it's not even like I can know which stores use which, they usually don't want to tell. Sometimes you can tell from the hardware, but not when they have this big fancy custom job layered on top of it.

Sorry SA is a lot more secure and trustworthy than your gas station apparently, because i've never heard of anyone hacking SA and stealing credit cards.

Sounds like you have some pretty shitty judgement on where to spend your money and buy gas.

Excuse me dude, but stuff it.

One, you completely missed my point, which was specifically to say that the perception "small internet thingie dangerous, big business good" for credit card safety is a crock of shit.

Two, you assume I actually buy gas. I don't. I can't drive because of a vision problem. Sometimes, if I can't get a ride to the store, I have to go pick up a food item or two. That gas station happens to be the only place within walking distance. So it's not actually "shitty judgment" at all, it's the only place I can go in that situation.

You've been pretty intelligent in the other threads where we've both been talking, try to keep that up please.

Bruce, you posted the email addresses publically without any obfuscation. They now have been scraped and will be spammed to death.

fair game, anytime you email anyone, always expect they will reveal it.

Common decency?

please understand the internet has not line to cross in the area of morality. "decency" is mostly non existent here on the internet.

Well the guy who posted them not only is non-anonymous, he is trying to get a good reputation again.

I have also had my card skimmed at a gas station. Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck who steals my credit card number as long as I am not on the hook for it.

Ya, I thoroughly enjoyed the hours I spent on the phone with Visa when that happened to me. I just hope it happens again and again so I have someone to talk to and won't be so lonely.

1. Never use cards or electronic banking again.
2. Stuff your mattress full of cash, and buy a pistol.
3. Don't worry about the big bad skimmers taking all your credit.
4. ? ? ?

You can live in a fucking hole, or you can use your resources for what they were intended.

I get it. I'm to use my resources for a custom avatar on SA! Thanks you for showing me the light.

Exactly...As a loose rule, you hand it to the stupidest, poorest and youngest/most irresponsible people in society every time you use it. They are the ones working as cashiers. The internet is no different.

We actually have never had the cards used fraudulently. There's never transactions our bank has to eat. They find out some numbers may have been compromised and proactively mark the WHOLE LOT as stolen.

I give a flying fuck because the last time that happened we were just about out of food and needed to go grocery shopping and had no way to pay for groceries. The grocery store and the bank are in 100% opposite directions and the bank doesn't even have a branch on the bus route. I had to borrow cash from a neighbor.

Every time I travel, my cards get locked, even if I call the bank and arrange for it NOT to happen. It's bullshit, but it's the cost of doing business. I have also had to hit virtual strangers up for food and money because of it. It's no fun, but it's a small, small price for the convenience (particularly with credit vs. debit).

Have some cash on hand is the take home message.

Ya know what seems to me to be a bit on the 'tard side though? Giving your CC info out to a lot of organizations. SA not the least of them.

Yeah. God forbid you use your credit card for what it's intended for. Talk about the 'tard side...

You mean like giving the info to an organization who, in spite of having boat loads of revenue (so claims FAtlas), cannot even keep their forum running?

BTW, do you pay and extra $120/yr for SA search function? -snicker-

Three times in the last year, my roommate and I have both found our ATM/debit cards locked out, and a few days later we get new ones in the mail, along with a letter basically saying that the cards were compromised, some hacker stole them from a merchant we shop at, and advising us to be careful about where we spend, and in particular most internet stores have very poor security.

My roommate and I do a shared budget and the way we shuffle things is kinda specific. First day of the month the full amount of the rent comes out of his bank account. All of the bills are paid in full out of mine as they come over the month, along with all the food.

The only two places my roommate's card had ever been used in two out of the three cases where the bank found his card was among a list of stolen numbers were...

The bank, and the largest chain of gas stations in the state.
