    The RM have been making quarter sovs since 2009.
    Perhaps not the smallest coin, but the one that comes to mind, is the .900 Dos Pesos.

    Unfortunately I know no one that collects gold and silver. Actually no one I know has crypto either. Most just do ISAs and shares. I am not sure we will ever get to the point of bartering but will need to be paid some how.

    I'd take any time if it went mainstream.
    The alternative is having parasites eating up the purchasing power of my time/effort continously.
    According to their own tainted inflation figures, 1GBP of 1914 is equivalent to 50GBP today.
    So the sovereign costs 8x more today, ignoring gold suppression etc. In what pockets did the rest 7/8ths go?

     
    I'd do my trading with electronics facilitating honest money, then redeem to physical whatever I regard as excessive floating in the system. Everyone wins.

    "Gold on a blockchain" doesn't even sort of eliminate a trusted third party (unlike real cryptocurrencies). You would have to put massive trust in the entity holding all that gold creating big counter-party risk.

    I currently have a hefty bag of sh*t coins that I am hoping to one day turn in to a bag of gold. It's a bit of a lottery but quite fun learning something new.

    Me personally? The topic of conversation is about how to prevent scammers but I will answer regardless. 
    No, not really everyone has been lovely, I sold something once that got flagged up by my bank (wasn't the persons bank account). Ive had an item turn up with scratches (not like photo). I don't trade to the volume of other members and I have previously highlighted why and my goto is eBay. I have done two trades in the last two months on here and 15 on eBay and would be nice for it to be the other way round. 
    In the time I've been here I can remember 3 scammers and they were all operating in the same way. They sell legitimately to trusted sellers then take someone unsuspecting for a wedge.

    So where does common sense come into here? 
    Look at feedback? 
    To me it is pretty obvious it will happen again and whenever anyone suggest anything different the posts get bombarded from the OG's of the forum defending it till the end. 
     It's like a shut up it works for me message. 
    As for quoting terms and conditions. How many of the people that have been scammed do you think have sat down and read the terms and conditions? Do you read every one on every website you visit?

    Nicely put Roy but there are not many 1950s around anymore.
    I have to drive down my street at 20mph because some twa*t decided to get run over. I can't take drugs anymore because some people go skitso and try and stab everyone. 
    Like it or not it's the way the UK operates now. Common sense is no longer an option and we all have to work to the lowest common denominator this includes buyer, sellers, scammers and scammed.

    The scammer that this tread is referring to scammed at least 4 members I think. None of those 4 members have left trading feedback. The only member that did leave trading feedback had nothing to do with the transaction.
