no hostility dude, but where are the pics? All I see are heaps of excuses.
I'm inclined to lean toward he's telling the truth. Short of anything else, perhaps a quick pic of the word Bitcoin written on a scrap piece of cardboard leaning up against the outside of the building would suffice. OTOH, if you have time, set up some fans...  How rustic are you planning on decorating the inside? I favor a rustic decor. At the very least, an old general store motif is also favorable.  Bear in mind, one can't own a Bitcoin store without a well-stocked apothecary, and...  ...a silk department.  In fact, have a vintage sign overhead of the silk aisle that reads "Silk Road". |

As someone who had an extremely large stake in Matthews bet, the whole thing was obviously bullshit from the start (and I was very vocal about the fact that I didn't think he would pay out a dime). In fact, I cleared him of any responsibility to my debt in responce to a PM he sent me last week.
I mean, on a personal level, I dont really care for Matthew....I think he is an impulsive attention hog, but I think he is harmless for the most part. He deserves the scammer tag (as it was a condition of his bet) and general shaming from the community (which he has and will continue to recieve), but beyond that, I could care less.
There's a nugget in the above that may influence my current position as it pertains to the tag, but not necessarily Matthew in general. I somewhat recall that (see bold), but would like to see the quote if somebody is so inclined to provide it for me. |

Any word, any language, using the Latin alphabet, but can be branched off using a different alphabet as long as one letter is an exact match. Try to use all capital letters no matter what language. I'll start, incorporating a foreign word to act as an example. Basic Scrabble rules apply. BARONETCY OVEIPEYOMAI A T C CHU H O E I ACCOUNTANT O EDIT: The Scrabble reference above pertains to the following, with accompanied image: Placing a complete word parallel to a word already played so that adjacent letters also form complete words. List of first use of foreign language words (will update if adviced): OVEIPEYOMAI (Greek: Dream) CRÉÉE (French: Created) ANTICOSTITUZIONALISSIMAMENTE (Italian: In a way that was extremely against the constitution.) PACHECO (Spanish and Portuguese languages surname: Bruno Lázaro Pacheco) (also, ANTICONSTITUCIONALISSIMAMENTE, for the purist) GILIPOLLAS ( Spanish: Asshole) PERIŪRĖTI (Lithuanian: Preview) ПO-PYCCHИ (Russian: We speak Russian!) КОМЕНТАРІВ (Ukrainian: Comments) PONO (Hawaiian: Righteousness) OL (Santali: Writing) BITMONO (Esperanto: Bitcoin) KAAROO (Yapese: Car) KO (West Frisian: Cow) AG (Volapük: Interjection - oh! cry of pain or surprise) JEITINHO (Brazilian Portuguese: Knack) OU (Laotian: Rice Bowl) CRWTH (Welch: Round Object)CA (Danish: About) WA (Thai: A unit of length, equal to 2 metres (2 m) or 4 sok.)PAMAMARIL (Tagalog: Hunt) FORINT (Hungarian currency which replaced the pengő after WWII) ISE (Nigerian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ise_Ekiti) НЕПРОТИВОКОНСТИТУЦИОНСТВУВАТЕЛСТВУВАЙТЕ (Bulgarian: Do not perform actions against the Constitution.) JAWAN (Bengali: Donkey) HÚSGÖGN (Icelandic: Furniture) JU (Chinese: Taro) ISA (Islamic: Jesus) WI (Lakotan: One of the most supreme gods. He is a solar deity, and is associated with the American Bison.) AMOR (Latin: Love) WONVERTU (Navajo: Wolf Spirit) NU (Burmese: Angry) OVA (Turkish: Plain) UGLER: (Norwegian: Owls) LUOVA: (Finnish: Creative) MAMIHLAPINATAPAI: (Yagán: A look shared by two people, each wishing that the other will offer something that they both desire but are unwilling to suggest or offer themselves.) EDIT: Wait for your turn (read, no double posting, as it pertains to submitting to the wordCHAIN). Feel free to create, maintain, add-to, etc., to your own little corner using words of your mother tongue. I may build the Lithuanian corner. Don't be offended if some asshole adds a word to your section of a different origin. It will only be removed if a letter is misinterpreted, e.g., Ń ≠ N and É ≠ E. |

@amandaplease223 do you have any pictures of what's going on at the school to share with CNN? I've seen this happen many times. The number of media people who hit the FB and Twitter accounts of witnesses/victims is amazing and their persistence is pretty awful. [/quote] Seriously? I wonder if there's a term for them, like socmediarazzi for the whole lot, with twitarazzi and effbeerazzi for Twitter and Facebook, respectively. |

Somebody fucked up!  Justin Lear @CNNJustin @amandaplease223 do you have any pictures of what's going on at the school to share with CNN?  Amanda @amandaplease223 @CNNJustin no because I didn't think to take pictures while I thought my life was in jeopardy. Justin Lear @CNNJustin @amandaplease223 if you are interested in talking on CNN, please let me know how I can contact you-- after lunch, of course. |

At some point in the future, I envision BitPay setting up similar options for various government agencies, states-wide, to have their constituents pay taxes and other municipal payments.

Without miners there would be no Bitcoin or other alt cryptocurrency. Treating miners like that is truly idiotic.
That's indicative for the mining of other commodities. My dad, in his mid teens, and grandfather worked as coal miners in Belgium, putting in twelve hour shifts, exiting the hole literally covered head-to-toe in black soot, hence the term "black lung".  Moussa Koboura (12) searches for gold in pit that is 5ft deep in the Sirguin region, Burkina Faso. The above shown, bitcoin miners deserve the utmost respect, no matter where they reside on the chain. I look forward the reading the entire translation of the provided screenshots, with at the very least a respected member stating either there's nothing to see here (move on), or somebody's eating more than Ramen noodles. |

If the price keeps moving in that general direction, 'coiners will start dumping their precious.

I agree, I have no doubt that if Pirate paid up that the debt would have been due and that the counter parties had intention to pay if their bet was lost.
I have received dozens of emails to a different tone actually. "I assumed you were just trolling", "Why are you bothering to pay anyone back? They deserve to have lost something", and other emails to that nature. The fact that I'm here to resolve things despite the repeated advice (read: Rassah) I've received to do the contrary should read in to my true intentions here. I do feel bad for what happened and I hope I can make things right again in time. |

So, the largest computer processor--Bitcoin--is about to get twelve times larger. And to think we don't need to build a moat around it. |

Do you have any idea how much that crop circle cost us?

Page 3 of a discussion on split threads with virtually nil about BFL. May I suggestion the following. Since the other thread is the main BFL thread, allow Josh the latitude to use the report-to-moderator option to request deletion of any post that's off-topic, provided he does it without being bias, nor adds to the trollish dialog. Other respected members, of course, will do the same. For those of us (sometimes me included) who join in on the drama, have a dedicated thread entitled BFL Drama. That would work also as: Avalon Drama; bASIC Drama; GLBSE Drams (archaic); Bitcoinica Drama (archaic); Mt Gox Drama; etc. Just an idea. Now that I've thunk it, have a dedicated Drama Board/Section. Any post that doesn't fit, gets moved to the drama section. Period! Now only if we could get them to quit advertising all over the place.  |

He can run md5 against the files now... What's the difference now or 10 days ago? Noone can verify the files unless well glbse owners verify them, and I am not sure we can trust them. Right... But how that demonstrated that I could change the documents after I received it? Is it safe to assume... - You've read the files.
- One of the shareholders of GLBSE/BitcoinGlobal sent them.
Yes, I made a careful examination of all files. I also obtained OpenPGP certificates and extra documents from the Internet in accordance with references present in the documents. I strongly suspect the documents were sent to me by a GLBSE shareholder, but I have no evidence to prove that. Thanks, bud. I suggest keeping the files away from... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fii7MWPQGr8 |

BR0KK: Imagine for a moment that you and another guy is playing texas holdem heads up tournament. You both have agreed to put $10 000 in the pot meaning the winner will receive $20 000 and loser $0. You win the game, then the other party says "haha I was just joking man! don't take it so seriously."... would you at this point still hold the opinion that since you didn't lose anything you did not get scammed?
Well, this is exactly what has happended here. The poker player who ripped everyone off is back and is trying to settle things. We'll see how that goes.
That's something i'll never do  Lets assume i do this: Real game: 1. Money on the table then we play! 2. No Money; no game! 3. Look at the guy offering the bet .... you'll see if he's capable of 20K bets! 4. Get some witness to ensure the bet (Someone you trust) 5. Maybe write something down with each party agreeing to pay up? 6. and so forth.... Stupid internet bet with troll kids: 0. Think first! 1. Don't take em serious! 2. Dont cry about a loss that you didn't have! So do I understand this right, if I am considered a "troll kid" (despite my identity and location being wildely known) I can promise people whatever I want on the internet and make any kind of bets and still not be a scammer when I default on all my promises? Nice, remind me to never do any business with you. Nope .... where did i write that? Highlight that please.... You made a silly example of a poker game and i debunked it... How on earth would one play like this? My advise: Just don't bet with them, and don't start crying if you lost nothing:) Let me quote what you wrote previously today in this topic: So the only thing he did wrong, was running a silly bet?
HOW STUPID TO TAKE THIS BET SERIOUS IN THE FIRST PLACE.... Did someone get hurt (besides mentally?); Did someone loose Money or BTC?
No?
If thats the only thing he did.... then remove the tag because he's not a scammer....
Whats you definition of a scamer? A scammer is someone who uses deception/trickery/fraud in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. That surely narrowed it down. Have you ever seen the following house in Plano, Illinois, just down the road from where I live?  |
