I just received information that pirate did express an fondness for palladium at the PPT meeting in Las Vegas. So the info from the skype chat about the hooker and the blow was true or one of the other Vegas participants was trolling me.
I wonder if the 'hooker' will ever contact you again with more information since you call her a hooker on these forums and you posted the entire conversation. It is highly likely Shavers monitors these posts and if this girl is legit, knows exactly who you talked to. |

Does anyone else find it highly unusual that none of usagi's shareholders have bothered to weigh in here?
I assume most people, like me, find the scammer forum pretty ridiculous. Only low level scammers get a tag and then there are countless accusations against some other people, usually to do with securities, that claim misapropriation of funds. Instead the inevestor should have looked hard at their investment decisions. Business failure due to incompetence or bad decisions do not, in my opinion, due to constitute a scammer tag. Many people will have a failure, but that does not make them a scammer. In the real world, people are protected by limited liability agreements. If there is no agreement in place specifying what kind of liability then that was a bad investment decision and just goes to show the though the manager of the investment put into when they created their investment. If they knew what they were doing they would have covered all their risks before opening the business. I bet there would be a lot less pointless posts in the scammer forum if there was a requirement for the accuser to pay a moderator 10 bitcoins for a scamming accusation. That accuser can be given back their 10 bitcoins if the mediator determines a scammer tag is warrented or bot the accuser and the accused come to a mutually agreed resolution. If there is not enough evidence a scam took place then the accuser loses their 10 bitcoin deposit. There is a reason why people in real life get to face their accusers, judged by a jury of their peers, and the prosecution has to pay heavy filing and court fees to initiate a suit. This is because anyone can make false or exaggerated claims without proof. |

so, my son's uncle is 3.5 years old. and every single time they play together, he hits my son on the head with a toy or something... His parents give him time-outs or wtv. but it doesn't work, he literately will go hit my son again 1 min later So he smacked my son today, and I smacked him.  this caused a bit of a fuse.... ya sure its not my kid and i shouldn't be disciplining him.... wtv... i got mad he got smacked, big deal. its been like a year we keep explaining to him that what he's doing is "not nice" I'm fed up. if it was my kid always hitting a smaller kid, I'd smack him! "Parents need to bring back the belt!" your thoughts...  You want parenting/disciplining advice? Wrong forum lol... I have kids of my own. I'm a firm believer of talking to them before they are disciplined so they understand what they did wrong and why it was important for them not to do what they did. Open communication (once they hit a certain age) is essential. "Now, Billy, it is not nice to hit my son with your toy rocket shit. It makes your him very sad. You do that again and I will smack the shit out of you, OK?" Kids are smarter than most parents think. I don't talk to them like they are babies. I talk to them as if they are intelligent adults. They may not understand everything I'm saying but children learn quick if you don't stunt their growth by saying "goo goo ga ga" to them all the time. How is that goo goo ga ga? Instead of talking to them rationally, is it better to yell at them and give them the finger like most adults talk to each other when they are upset? |

The problem is hitting. The solution is......... wait for it.......... more hitting!
tit for tat. |

I would suggest become a member and get elected/vote to bf-board.
Wait isn't the bitcoin foundation suppose to help the bitcoin community, when did it turn to an elite country club? This is why I would never pay for the bitcoin foundation, they are becoming elitist already. So sad... They should change the name to Biterati Foundation. |

And I wouldn't refer to him reporting it to the police as a "fact" - I'd happily bet that he hasn't reported anything to the police at all.
If there is no police report number then there is no report. |

Is there a way to update the API so that it is possible to only return a range of trade history instead of it returning all the trade history? The same with dividend history.
It would be simple to do, but probably not wise. The API has to come out of cache to work at scale, and custom queries aren't going to be very cache-able.  What kind of ranges do you have in mind? Cheers. I am suggesting something similar to the API of bitcoincharts.com and especially what cryptostocks has. For example, if someone writes a script that checks to see if there has been a trade for a listing on BTC-TC, then they might have it check every 15 minutes. The information they get will be every single trade and so every 15 minutes they are getting mostly the same data each time yet they might only be checking for a few new trades. Instead they could already have most of the past data history stored on their own database (or not need that information at all) and only need the last trades for the last 15 minutes. GLBSE had the same kind of thing for their dividend returns. It returned every dividend returned for that security listing. I had a script that went through my trade data to see if it was a actively traded stock, then for those that are it would go through each listing and collect the dividend data. Since I only needed the most recent data, it was pretty inefficient as my script took a while to run and hit the GLBSE server pretty often. I had it programmed to wait every 10 seconds before another query was sent, but I had to go through all the listings even if there was only just one dividend by one security listing that day. A good start would be if the API could return: assets_listed - Any asset currently traded on BTC-CO future_ipo - Assets getting ready to IPO and the date of their IPO dividend_last_x_time - The securities that paid dividends for a certain time period (last 24 hours, ect), dividend paid, and time of dividend paid. |

My grandfather's truck drove him home for nearly 20 years
Why is everyone arguing about speed limits? They will be obsolete in 10-20 years. With self driving cars the car's computer will only allow the car to go at a set speed, which will be determined by the safe road speed, the weather conditions, and by the other cars around. Good bye revenue for speed trap towns. Maybe. People have been prophesying self-driving cars for decades. If it happens, it will make pretty much all traffic laws obsolete. Considering how much of local government's revenue comes in through these sorts of violations, I expect heavy resistance. Technology makes the government obsolete again. |

People in here should calm down with dox'ing people. Im all with you if the person involved did actually scammed you, but you could do it more private, lets say in a private section of this forum, and the mods giving access there to some members after providing some proof, or some other way. I dont say that to protect any scammer, but it could possibly end sadly for the victim(s), according to laws.
Please, dont take this, what i typed, wrong
FFS. pirate was doxxed long before his ponzi collapsed precisely because the identity of someone to whom the community is entrusting hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions, if you believe the upper estimates) should be publicly known. This. Everyone knew his identity anyways, but I do agree that it SHOULD be in a place that only involved forum members should access. It's not great for random people on the Internet to google "pirateat40" and get all his info. I'm not trying to "protect the scammers," but I feel that we shouldn't post his information completely publicly. If I had my way, I would hire people just to stand around his home and give out flyers/post wanted posters all over the place informing the community of his evil deeds. He could probably just pay the people to go away. |

As you can see Garr, poitr_n is pretty unstable. As you would know, I was asking what a plan B would be for Cognitive before Nefario even went berserk. poitr_n is the type of person that will attack anyone that questions his decision making, much like Nefario. It is unfortunate because I am only interested in improving and advocating for the exchange markets of stocks and bonds trading for cryptocurrencies. I even linked to poitr_n's post about #assets-otc from my market indicator site (stochastically.com) after GLBSE was shut down because I thought it would be a great alternative, until the craziness that occurred. Maybe that person's asset was delisted due to some claimed scamming, but to me it happened because he posted about Open Transactions on in the forum post about #assets-otc. If we had sane and profession people running these exchanges (take burnside as an example) I think these exchanges could do a lot of good. I think competition is a good thing and I wish exchange operators would work together or at least be humble and respectful.
But I am glad you only list it as an option and not recommending the place. As you can see it is a warning to anyone that might want to use #assets-otc.
I think you are talking to me, though addressing your speech to someone else. In which case, I am going to do exactly the same  Why am I unstable? The only reason you have to support the theory that I am unstable is that I delisted your friend's asset from my generously free contract management service, after he had offended me. So what is so unstable about it? If Garrett had ever offended me, I would have delisted his asset as well - surprise? I don't think so. And moreover, I don't think he will ever offend me because he is a normal honest guy who can listen to reason and never talks bullshit. So I believe he will listen to my reason, publically if needs so. And you - you keep selling bullshit to him, but don't dare to use my name with it, hoping for no reaction. There will always be a reaction - you can bet on it. And, by the way, let me tell you once again that assets-otc is nowhere about anyone's trust to me. I'm not holding anyone's balls for any moment - I'm only storing contracts. Being delisted at my page does not mean anything. In fact soon I'm going to publish the source code so anyone can get his shit and just start it at his own server, if he knows what php and mysql is. Since this is a thread about Cognitive, I will refrain from pointing out your admittance of being unprofessional, but good luck to your work. I think #assets-otc is a great idea in the hands of a professional person. |

Said a guy who used to be Nefario's big advocate - at the same time when I was already calling him a crook who was backing Goat to cheat his customers, stole 3000 ASICMINER shares, and god knows what else he did to screw over GLBSE users... There are obviously people who will never learn, like you stochastic, but trust me, dear: I am the last person who would be trying to educate you. So despite of your confidence in Nefario's honesty, I did not listen to you but chose listening to my reason and thus already in August I preemptively parked my modest share in Garrett's business. Such a crazy move allowed me to keep receiving the divs while everyone else was shaking their pants worrying whether Nefario would give the shareholders list or not. The list which BTW nobody can still be sure to be correct. In fact it does not look correct at all if you know that 3 days before GLBSE went muted there were only 7870 COGNITIVE shares, Garrett told you that he did not sell anything outside the market, and if you see at the twitter feed that the total trading volume for that last 3 days was.... below 200 shares! So how the hell did it end up with 8616 shares? I guess there must be a perfectly reasonable answer for that, but unfortunately no way to verify if such an answer would be true. My blind shot is that the extra new shares just ended up as Nefario's "claim", but since we cannot prove that, all we can do is asking Garrett "how has he invested the money acquired by selling the 746 new shares?" - and then, he will most likely answer with "what money?" And not because he is the one who screwed us here - he just cannot do anything else in this circumstances, having no proofs for anything that happen on the exchange, because no single transaction can be proven. So yeah: be very careful with having PGP signed contracts for what you own!!! Just listen to stochastic - the guy knows what he is talking about and he will give you the best advise, as he always had yet back in the GLBSE times. I like the colored-coins idea. I think that has a lot of potential.
Yeah. And I like the idea of spending Christmas on a white sanded sunny beach, sleeping under a palm, smoking joints, soaking cold bier, watching crabs and snorkeling with fishes... But the reality is cruel and so you can't always get what you want. Or skipping the metaphors: colored-coins is just a theoretical idea, while assets-otc is already a practical reality. So if you prefer colored-coins then be my guest: keep waiting for your dreams to come true, hoping that the bitcoin enterprise that you are currently in, based on exactly the same security concept as the one that screwed you before, won't just blow up one day, right into your face. And stay away from simple PGP-signed contracts, because they are so inconvenient that only crazy people use them As you can see Garr, poitr_n is pretty unstable. As you would know, I was asking what a plan B would be for Cognitive before Nefario even went berserk. poitr_n is the type of person that will attack anyone that questions his decision making, much like Nefario.

Hey all, dividends went out tonight. Check https://btct.co/security/COGNITIVEAdditionally, A shareholder has brought to my attention that it is sometimes desirable to have an off-exchange asset parking service. Although I am not doing it with my personal assets because I trust the security measures burnside (BTC-TC operator) has taken to keep our accounts secure, this would take asset security to the next level by utilizing GPG. The site is https://assets-otc.com/about.php and if you are interested in parking your assets there just let me know. Cheers, Garrett Be careful https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105437.msg1287486#msg1287486To see why it was delisted, read the post above the one linked. I like the colored-coins idea. I think that has a lot of potential. |

It is amazing that a discussion about the largest marketplace that only uses bitcoin as a medium of exchange is put in the Off-Topic forum.

Saw this on Google +, thought I'd share with you guys. Depending on who is speaking, the ban on firearms in Australia was either miraculous or a disaster. To get to the truth, I sought out the Australian government's own statistics. They are available from this site: http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/violent%20crime.htmlIn the first chart, we see that the number of homicides involving firearms as a total percentage of homicides has indeed gone down: Homicides involving firearms as a percentage of total homicides:  However, this statistic was on a generally downward trend starting in 1971, and never historically ventured outside of the 20-40 incidents range anyway. Homicide incidents in Australia, 1989-90 to 2006-07 (number):  From the page itself: "Over the past 18 years (1 July 1989 to 30 June 2007), the rate* of homicide incidents decreased from 1.9 in 1990-91 and 1992-93 to the second-lowest recorded rate, of 1.3, in 2006-07." So yes, homicide incidents have declined since the gun ban. By a staggering .6 percent per 100,000 people. So with firearms usage in homicides, and the rate of homicides going down, one would expect the same trend for all overall violent crime, right? Wrong. Violent crimes from 1996 to 2007 (per 100,000 persons per year):  Yes, restricting guns reduces gun crime. That's the sort of thing even FirstAscent can grasp. Unfortunately, it does not reduce crime. In fact, the evidence seems to point in the opposite direction. Just a thought: Might it be because criminals no longer worry about their victims being armed? Perhaps the old and physically frail have no legal means to protect themselves from the large, imposing, knife-wielding punks? But I guess some people are OK with granny getting raped, robbed, and murdered. Just as long as they don't have to be afraid of a piece of metal on someone's belt. Another interesting thing is that the police are able to modify the statistics of violent crimes other than homicides. People can make an armed robber into a robber. "Are you sure you saw a gun?" "Making robberies into larcenies, making rapes disappear." They can make crimes go away. When they do that it looks like the crime rate is being reduced while in fact it is not, they are just not doing their job. It is the murder rate that really shows the true extent of crime. It is almost impossible to hide a body and make a homicide into something else. Also, most murders are reported or bodies found. Unlike other crimes that can go unreported, homicides most often are. Any crime stats reported by government agencies is most definitely more than what is reported. Another interesting statistic to see is the number of homicides by the state on the residents of that nation. |

Thanks, now I can add more sites to my addiction to my RSS news reader. If I told you I was trying to quit drinking, you would put a hundred year old scotch in my glass and tell me I was drinking the wrong stuff, wouldn't you?  |
