a scam when they start apologizing by paying people more than they paid

a small percentage of people who ordered would be dead or in jail, so no matter what happened I'd walk off with
a profit

KRS-1: miami is
a lot like NYC except we invented the cocaine and business mix lol
dub: dude I have
a bunch of drug priors, never been
a problem getting employed
KRS-1: mjr you are right about drug use and white collar jobs..i know for
a fact my jobs have suspected me but i never heard anything nor had any tests
mjr___: and more to the point, that has nothing to do with the idea, the idea ASSUMES that you are already meeting up in
a group
mjr___: most cops are cool if you aren't
a dick
dub: cop is talkign to me outside
a party about whats going on inside, reach in back pocket for cigarette

a guy causing no trouble who looks decently respectable

a bag of coke
mjr___: to file
a report on something else

a joke, this actually happened, walked into
a police station

a cop inside in ten years
mjr___: that is actually
a great point dub
mjr___: we have
a duty to our descendants
mjr___: yes officer, i told him he could take
a pic of my phone for $22
kakobrekla: "ill pay 20 to take
a pic of your phone"
dub: I think
a bunch of suits standing around takign pictures of each others phones is not going to raise to much suspicion
dub: the police will assume you are
a bunch of assholes from the internet
mjr___: you look like
a group of friends if you are sitting, AND someone can't run as easily
dub:
a lot harder than robbing
a bank
dub: pretty hard to controll
a group that size, coerce them into giving up keys etc, in
a busy public area with LE around
mjr___: in
a group of 40 it was unanimous
dub: its
a lot safer to have
a larger group than two involved too
mjr___: or for people who want to get
a better rate than gox
mjr___: so how would you do
a transaction now
truff1es: need something other than for me to trust that
a cop will come to my aide
dub: I think its
a good place if there are police around
mjr___: and again, you would be in the middle of
a groiup
mjr___: you would have to walk up to
a group of people...get them all to hand over cash or bitcoins...all while attracting no attention
truff1es: it would be better if it were among
a group of people im familiar with like say irc chat group
mjr___: i picked
a public park for
a reason
mjr___: i would say LESS likely than in
a one on one scenario
mjr___: would you really feel like walking into
a group of people and saying give me the cash and then running?
mjr___: this would be part of the app, you can link
a btc address and the app will do
a mouseover with info from blockexplorer or bitcoininfo
truff1es: User XYZ is the one selling, and AHA he has
a btc address linked to his user profile, with one tap, i see his wallet contains 1.2 bitcoins. >>> is this just to explain or is this part of the app
truff1es: will read in
a few, too much on my screen laggg
gribble: Error: "price" is not
a valid command.
mjr___: I guess I will write
a follow-up to specify how i see it playing out
mjr___: anyways, the web app will be
a facilitator of trade
mjr___: since i have
a $20 bill
mjr___: think
a chatroom/messageboard where all messages are orders and they are sorted and displayed
a certain way
mjr___: also IRC won't have
a one button solution to taking an order
mjr___: IRC still doesn't maintain
a best bid and ask
mjr___: basically, i have
a bunch of people meeting me in union square tomorrow
truff1es:
a blog explaining the process would be great
