I never said it would apply equally to everyone. However, if you are satisfied with the service for any reason you should donate.

I have a life that the rest of you can only dream of.

I strongly encourage those with orders at BFL to donate to the curse removal before it's too late.

21after2, you are banned from this thread.

21after2, if you post in this thread again you will be reported to a moderator.

Please don't troll this thread. Muddying the waters to distract attention from the real effects of the curse is basically commiting an act of fraud and I will ask the moderators to ban you from this thread if you insist on doing so.

I really have no interest in your fantasies. Every second you spend attempting to mock me is just another second that the curse will wreak its havoc. I'm surprised that you are not taking this seriously given the very real impact it is having on your pocketbooks, but children are renowned for refusing to listen, aren't they?

The effects of the curse are now more obvious than ever. I will remove it for 200 BTC. If you have "purchased" from BFL, you may very well wish to contribute to ensuring that their products come through.

Referencing Crowley only shows that you have no idea what a "serious student" of magic is. Here's a tip: real power doesn't come from books you can pick up at Barnes and Noble.

As far as what my "cool hack" is: I've rarely encountered a more nonsensical question. You want to shoehorn magic into your banal understanding of the world, but you'll fail to do so every time.

Bah, I'm tired of this. I'll check back in a few days to see if anyone of you have come to your senses, but of course you won't have. Remember, the ransom will increase to 100 BTC next Monday, and then your real troubles will begin.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

May you be revealed for the shrill and fraud that you are.

Wicca is nonsense, and this "back at you X10" business is just PC gobbledy gook to disassociate themselves from bad ol' Witches in the public imagination.

I log back in to see if and when you all come to your senses. Also because watching my curse unfold on this forum entertains me to no end. Especially how you all will close your eyes and put fingers in your ears and swear up and down that everything is better than ever, even as the entire bitcoin project begins to crumble around you.

You should also know that I will soon begin casting specific curses against the individuals who insult me in this thread. Choose your words carefully.

May you be the first to suffer.

I have come to the conclusion that this curse is certainly for the betterment of society. If bitcoiners are too stupid to pay to ensure that their currency succeeds, if they instead allow themselves to face loss after loss rather than do what needs to be done, it is better that their experiment be brought to an end sooner rather than later so that smarter people can take up the banner of revolution.

Your reticence to accede to my demands, or take me up on my services, has now made me angry with the result that this past weekend I took steps to intensify the curse. Things will now get very bad for Bitcoin and this forum as a whole from this point forward: indeed, it has already started.

The ransom for releasing bitcoin from this new curse is 50 BTC. Next week, I will raise it to 100 BTC.

Perhaps you should ask Theymos.

And I have received donations, but they explicitly asked that their money not go into the pool for dispelling the curse. I honored their wishes.

Spoiler alert: I don't think very many people will be seeing money from GLBSE.

As I've said, the effects of the curse are over the forum as a whole, and I did not enact it upon any specific member. As a result, some of you may get off light. And some of you may only THINK you've gotten off light.

Ahem. GLBSE. I almost feel like apologizing.

How many more 1,000s of Bitcoins will be lost before you see the error of your ways and pay my ransom. 20 BTC until Monday. A bargain compared the ruination in your future if you continue ignore me.

This is not how magic works.

And actually, Dank's "music" production could be another good sign of the curse's power.

Another deadline has passed, and things are growing dark indeed in the Bitcoin world.

Here are some things that have happened:

A prominent senior forums member was robbed of 8000 BTC. Who knows who will be next


Fujitsu Laboratories has "cracked a next-generation cryptography standard known as pairing-based cryptography" which spells spell big trouble for Bitcoin down the road

The SEC has begun investigating Pirate's venture (and probably many other related pass throughs and similar  HYIPs, if not every single person using bitcoins that they can find). This will certainly mean the loss of all invested moneys in Pirates venture, as well as a multitude of probable legal ramifications.

The Bitcoin Foundation has begun to enact greater centralization and control of BTC.





This is the tip of the iceberg, who knows what else is happening behind the scenes and things will only get worse from here on out. I have also been paid to increase the power of the curse, which I have done.

I will now reverse the curse for 20BTC.
