    I still fail to see what the issue is with bitcoins. Still an accepted form of currency, just decentralized. Built better for the internet age and better suited for transactions that occur on the internet. You can sign them, add details, lock them until a transaction is complete then release them by signing them from both parties, and other beneficial features.


    1. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars or euros – they're produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.

    Wow. Not surprising though.

    And what's wrong with bitcoin?

    Yep,Yotamac and Benbacher,(bitcoin) and I did give out plates to customers. Ask them. There were plenty of people that posted about it. I Bought a few batches from you. Also there is a local guy and a well known fab shop that I was dealing with too. Eventually got the prices to about half of what our agreed upon pricing was. I went with you to keep the tacomaworld vendors in the mix.

    Look dude, Im not here to debate anything with you. The fact is I am getting called out on the forum for your shady business practices. I could care less about your local fab guy and what you mixed up with me. I'm just calling it as I see it.

    ...You also told me that you had an excess of the plates and I offered to buy more from you and did.

    As for being called out,
    I do not believe that is being called out. Just an observation.


    I'll be back on Tuesday,./

    The first and second time you bought plates from me was because you disappeared on people multiple times.
    Also, I have been contacted by more then one person asking about any affiliation to you so its not an observation. I was being respectable to the members that had concerns addressing me on your complaint thread. Dont be a Smart a$$!

    Wow, I didn't want to start shit.. I merely pointed out that you 2 had done business and wanted to let the person that mentioned not receiving his plate know who might be able to get him one. I did not know there were more than one sources for the mounting plates. Note I said that I didn't know what kind of deal you 2 struck, I.e. You provided the plates seperately to the members or sky bought in bulk.

    You didn't start anything.. I was chiming in as I have remained quiet on this thread or Sky's other. Just figured I'd let ya'll know the full story on the plates from my end. I have been emailed, pm'd and asked in person about him so I was just addressing it here.

    He charged me $45 for your plate. When we were figuring out my order he said, "this was my cost from Yotamac, I'm just passing the plate on to you for the same price."

    I hope that's the case. Looks like he charged @Naveronski $50 for the same product.

    I still wish I bought the plate directly from you so the money went into your account, but I thought it would be an easier transaction to have everything show up together in the same box.
