someone find that creepy fanfic where Satoshi talks to the angel of liberty or whatever the gently caress and she warns him that the government doesn't just enslave people with monetary policy but also with "negative rape," where the government stops two consenting parties from having sex. :pedo:

ahaha i forgot about that gem

“Yes. Of course,” Satoshi said. “I’m rich. Rich people always get as much of anything as they want. Food. Nice apartments and clothes. Fast cars. And as many beautiful women as I can handle. I am very lucky. I really am. But I don’t usually do it with someone I don’t pay for the purpose.”

“Why not?” Angel said.

“I don’t like the idea of getting attached. Most women would get strange ideas about what I am allowed to do or not do with other women,” Satoshi explained. “Some of the more alert ones might even notice the source and the amount of my wealth. That would not do at all.”

today i learned he apparently dumped 13k into bitcoin on gox when it was 20$ and then when it exploded he went from zero to hardcore alcoholic and pulled a no-show 3 days in a row :laugh:

idk but most featurephones i had had tip calculators next to the calculator app presumably so they could tick off more built in apps for their phone.

also a lot of people are bad at math or don't know how to use the percentage fucntion in the phone calc so

Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Service Discussion (Moderator: grue) > Bitstamp: No withdrawals for Bitcoin related companies

A few weeks ago our company requested a wire withdrawal from our Bitstamp corporate account.

After a week the money came back into our bitstamp account (at a $45 cost to us) with bitstamp saying: "The reason for the failure was stated as a breach of a recipients bank's Terms of Service."

This is quite worrying so we contacted our bank, and no they had not seen or rejected any transfer; and said they'd need to see the SWIFT transfer form (MT103) to check it out further.

Bitstamp then had the nerve to ask us to pay $40 extra just to get the proper receipt of the transfer; which we paid.

The receipt, that we paid $40 for, shows only that they transfer money between Raiffeisen Banka d.d. to Raiffeisen Bank international....and the RBI had rejected to process the transfer saying that they do not execute transfers related to Bitcoin...

Talking to Bitstamp is like talking to a brick wall...in their opinion Raiffeisen Banka is their bank and Raiffeisen Bank international is an intermediary; therefore we have to pay all the costs of this botched transfer and can seemly no longer withdraw funds (because of this intermediary that is supposedly totally unrelated to Bitstamp or their bank)

End of story we paid $85 for a transfer that was never sent to our bank; and we have no way to receive any transfers because bitstamps bank/intermediary will not send to Bitcoin related companies...

HOW CAN A BITCOIN EXCHANGE NOT BE ABLE TO SEND TRANSFERS TO BITCOIN BUSINESSES?

Bitstamp support seems to see no real problem with this situation.

Notes:
- We have previously done many successful wire transfers with the last one being about a month ago with no problem.
- Our company name has "Bitcoin" in it.

Here is a Memo from Bitstamps intermediary (basically Bitcoin hate mail): http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22i768/raiffeisen_bank_international_internal_memo/

Perhaps we need to create our own convention for a code word to use when referring to bitcoins in a bank transaction. I suggest "gift(s) from Satoshi". For example, in your memo you write, "For 3.1415 gifts from Satoshi" instead of "For 3.1415 Bitcoins."
More seriously, always use the currency symbol BTC instead of Bitcoin because it's vague enough to refer to someone's initials.

Dear Miha,

I see this situation very badly, i don't understand what is wrong. I kindly ask for plausible explanation of what is going on here.

Your payment system clearly works, i've asked around and payments are processed.

If i don't get any response the following 24h regarding why is this happening i will publicly ask for this information, like any other member of the bitcoin community via reddit.com.

If don't want to process my transfer just cancel my withdrawal and i will take my Bitcoins elsewhere.

Best Regards,

MIHA GRČAR 06.8.2014 15:22:47
Dear <My name>,

apologies for not getting back to you earlier.

Apparently, your account is experiencing some technical difficulties. We have forwarded your case to our tech team for further examination. We will notify you know when we have additional information on the status of your account.

Should you have any additional questions in the meantime, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Dear Miha Grčar,

This situation is beyond absurd, i am a developer and i know that "account technical difficulties" is a bullshit response for what is going on.

I waited another week to get a response or a resolution to this situation and nothing happened.

If this is not resolved in the next 24h , you will be contacted from my lawyer regarding this situation as i'm a British resident and you are a British Company.

Best Regards,
<My name>
MIHA GRČAR 14.8.2014 10:23:21
Dear <My name>,

thank you for your reply. We have urged our system administrator again to review your case as soon as possible.

We kindly ask you to refrain from legal actions until next week as our tech team is experiencing a minor backlog due to summer vacations. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Your case should be addresses sometime during early week.

Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,
Miha Grčar

If a Bistamp staff reads this can you make me understand why this issue is not resolved for over a month. Also has anyone else experienced the same situation ?, my withdrawal status is 'In process'.
