Bitcoin Forum

Hello all,

I'm selling the website www.bitcoingem.com. The gem is in a range now where I begin to feel uncomfortable. Some more iterations and we're talking about thousands of bitcoins – this is getting too hot for me.
Anyone who recently was on the site knows what is going on right now, the price for the gem is about to explode and no one knows where it could go.
The site is on halt right now but can be reactivated anytime.

Anyone who's interested, please PM me. Minimum bet is 300 btc. This offering is valid for 2 hours (9 pm central european time), I will sell to the highest bidder.
Should there be no selling I will close the site and refund the last 2 open payments.

I can transfer the site to your webhost and get it up and running within one hour (PHP and MySQL and a decent server needed).
Or better yet, you take over my account at firehost, which won't interrupt the site's service at all.

If there's any questions, just let me know.

This is the part in the story where the OP "sells" the site to a sockpuppet. Mr. Puppet suddenly (maybe after a couple days/weeks to make it more "legit) vanishes with the site and coins.  Obviously this isn't the fault of the OP.  He no longer owns/operates the site and will be very upset that it happens but there is nothing he can do about it.

This is where the Ponzi Scheme takes full shape !  :o

Someone should offer to buy it at the current gem price and refund the stupid guy locked in at the time.

not how it works  ;)

i don't feel so dumb about having the same thought after seeing two others say it so far since

This scam is so juicy you can hear the scumbags drooling.

The price is a bit high for 300 BTC, it'll take a lot of iterations to make that back. I'd buy it for 100 BTC.

I hope he sells to an African Shaman Billionaire who collects teddy bears with which to entice starving children to join his ever growing hacker army.

lol  :D

I can feel the drool from here!

Ummm............ Kim Dotcom bought at 65.09 btc, sold at 68.345 btc and made 3.255 btc profit   ??

sell because the end is near (if not already here)

Oh, btw, in case you're wondering, maxmints avatar is "Räuber Hotzenplotz" from the German Hotzenplotz children storys. Hotzenplotz is of course a shrewd and clever robber.

So, yeah, you're being "pirated" again.

Keen eyes there ...good point. >:(

if you sell, how you will ensure the 15 years of humiliation for the last buyer?

300 BTC? No way this scheme can be that profitable (unless the "buyer" runs away with the last 2 idiots money).

Did anybody think that there would be people paying 126 bitcoins for the gem?
300 bitcoins profit for the site owner are 19 rounds away. 75 rounds already done.

I put a lot of thought into this viable solution: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139532.0

Tell you what: I will take it off your hands if you pay me the next price of the gem.

let's be clear, this is not a scam, the operation is very clear and everyone knows what they play.

+1

...so far.

OP, you might be pissing off the current owner of the gem. I would be quick.

This is just like the million dollar web page.  It was interesting the first time, but people aren't going to do it over and over.  The time for profit has come and gone, and you are just trying to squeeze 300btc from some fool.

ha ha ha

There is no reason for the site operator to be dishonest. As long as the gem continues to change hands, the operator makes more money. The operator gains nothing by "running off" with the money because it is already his. I suppose the only dishonest thing the operator might do would be to have shills buy the gem to inflate the price.

but no guarantee a legitimate person buys it so they're risking something unless they fully trust the other guy

anyway; people know they're buying the 'gem'

My mistake. The operator could not refund the previous buyer and run off with all the money.

most of their purchase went to the previous owner

Anyway, assuming the operator does not steal the money, he makes approximately 55% of the latest price. So, in order for a new owner to buy the site for 300 BTC and break even, the gem would have to reach a value of about 665 BTC (550 + 115)

Honestly, I desire the program, for I believe I can make it viable.

You can get the script in http://glados.cc/gold/, is exactly the same

I changed rules for bitcoingem.com (http://bitcoingem.com) – the site is up and running again.
It's not for sale anymore, you don't have to PM be about that.
Thanks.
