If you didn't believe the data, what does the deletion of it change? It shows that the person who posted it doesn't want to be committed to it, suggesting that it was falsified. Didn't, as in did not - past tense. Your logic must be beyond my comprehension. I'll let you work out what the consequences of that are. Luckily, I was just being sarcastic. |

100% wrong. He is one of the scammers, running a similar high interest borrowing scam just like the others.
Survived the crisis? 100% wrong: he owes withdraw obligations he cannot meet (because it's a standard scam, and remember I'm batting 1000% with labeling these as such) HINT: he's never going to meet them, start the process of the long stall for this scam too.
BrightAnarchist - you quote the evidence, but can you make any statement about the OP edits, deleting the month-over-month fiscal data? (data which I believe are total fabrications, mind you) still just blind faith with no reasoning?
I expect a full apology when this scam goes like the others I have predicted before they failed.

I'm doing my God Damned best, but my last efforts have all been for not. I found a strong connection between Pirate and Global Oil Fund, but all those posts have been removed.
I am not very happy now.

I would like you to know that I appreciate your efforts from the bottom of my heart. |

Good luck Goat. As Loup so eloquently puts it, us 'righteous souls' who take the so terribly illogical step of actually doing something, or at least making pretenses at doing something, will need all the auspiciousness we can get. I know not whether to trust you or frankly anyone these days, but I am willing to help if good reason exists.
Loup, your poignant wordplay is beyond my ability to contest, and I will not bother to endeavor, but unfailing pessimism, while it may attract legions in the tarpits of our dear friend the Internet, has little sway in the strange world outside that glowing screen. For once, I entreat you, use your clear capability in a more pragmatic fashion with regards to this so joyful community. You might be surprised, and I suspect pleased, at what results.
This effort may, and probably is, all for naught - with that I cannot disagree. Regardless, the only way we can guarantee failure is by failing to try. Now, you tell me, where's the fun in that?

You guys are taking this way too far.
Matthew welched on a silly bet, to try and prove a point. You guys are treating him as if he TOOK MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKETS.
Considering how relaxed most people have been, in regards to Trendon Shavers aka Pirateat40 (causing most of my frustration) I find Matthew's situation to be a bit 'scape-goatish' under the circumstances.
Does Matthew really deserve to be punished to the extent he currently is being punished ?
There are far more people on this forum that have done far worse and still don't seem to have a scammer tag or their names dragged through the mud and THEY ACTUALLY LOST PEOPLE'S MONEY. Nothing was lost in the 'Matthew' situation, right ?
People made their bet because Matt told them to hedge for a pirate default when they could have sold their debt at 75% when the bet started. They did in fact lose money because of this. Stop trying to explain this away. He is a scamming fuck. Period. Not trying to explain it away. I'm trying to show that precisely this type of reasoning is childish. It certainly seems so in retrospect, doesn't it? Matthew, unlike Pirate, had a good reputation and known identity. |

Shall we make our way to the Lending and Securities Forums and start getting those scammer tags applied to the people that actually TOOK REAL MONEY from people and not simply made a bet where NO MONEY CHANGED HANDS and cost the participants exactly ZERO... ?
No, that is not correct. Many people used Matthew to hedge against Pirate in lieu of other methods. They will lose money. This scam, although Matthew did not directly profit, certainly caused losses. |

Did the article get smaller?  I think they cut the factual parts and evidence. |

I'll vote for myself - isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
Seems logical. |

No disrespect intended, but spelling the name of the company right might serve to increase lender confidence. It's "BFL", not "BLF".

This is exactly the level of discourse that this topic deserves.
I am starting to hate money too, LightRider. It's not about hating money, it's about recognizing its flaws and building a better paradigm. Paradigm of implementation, not paradigm of concept. Bitcoin is still, at the basic level, a medium of exchange - also known as money. |

This is a good point. We were hearing rumours for months that Pirate has in fact defaulted but the dummies that he had for "investors" were just letting it slide. We were hearing rumous for months that the passthroughs are only a convenient way to allow the scammer to pay some of the "inner circle" interest with fresh money from small timers who will never be repaid and can never do anything about it. By puncturing the circle of bullshit Bitlane did the community a big favour. The perpetrators of the passthrough scams however have a lot to answer for. And so does the Global Scam Exchange that allowed all this to happen. Yet you never make a scam accusations thread. Is that because you have no evidence ? Evidence? Antiquated practices, man. Who needs silly stuff like that? |

Are you an SA troll too? If not, Accepted.
Are you still taking bets? I need to hedge, and I promise I'm no SA troll. 500 BTC

Thanks Matthew.
Accepted. Alright, thank you very much. |

No immediate answer after some searching, but does looks like the domain was registered in March last year, at the same time as blockchain.net and blockchain.org - maybe that helps to widen the net? Source: http://www.dailychanges.com/registrar-servers.com/2011-03-09/You could try doing a historical DNS search using the DomainTools Pro features, in case the whois privacy was added later for some reason. Unlikely; Namecheap enables it by default, and besides, I don't think you can change it after the fact. Contacting them is probably your best bet. |

You don't hear about the ones that haven't been hacked.

I've had good experiences with BitVPS and vpsno.de, both of which accept Bitcoin.

Why the crap are you still taking bet increases Matthew?
He doesn't plan on paying. If it wouldn't create an image problem for Bitcoin Magazine, I would start my own bet on whether or not Matthew will pay if he loses. I would of course take the stance that he will pay if he clearly loses. Yeah, but then I'd have to start a bet on whether or not YOU would pay... This could go on for awhile. Want to bet how long?  Imagine the immensely complicated hedging strategies. It could even become cyclical at some point... |

Alright, so for those of you who have been using gpumax the past couple of days, have you been getting paid?
I'm ready to start using it again if everyone's getting paid nightly.
I have, but I've had almost no public work, despite my lowest-priced workers being waaaaaaay below the strike price. I wouldn't plan on getting many public shares. No one is going to give Pirate a cent. The PPS rate at GPUMax have dropped a lot since this Pirate (our pool operator/owner?) run away with our coins. Am I right?! The share purchase rate is calculated based on the miners' sell rates. Most likely, miners have been lowering their rates in an attempt to obtain private work, which causes the share purchase price to decrease.s |

it had something to do with restrictions....i bought this from a friend and even though im the admin it gives me trouble sometimes and wont let me do stuff
hm. well if you have the time i'd recommend a fresh install of your OS. then you should have no problem with permissions. just backup your wallet.dat first of course (hopefully you already do)! i'm sure there is probably an easier way to solve your problem but i would feel uneasy using an OS previously installed and used by someone else, even a friend. if you can afford it, get a new internal HD and start fresh. why not be as safe as possible? and for security reasons don't use the internet on your admin user account, if possible. create a standard user account for your daily use and only login as admin when you need to make changes. Windows is insecure regardless of user account. If you're browsing the web as root on a Linux system, you shouldn't be using Linux. |

Just because something negative happens to another service provider that had a great track record doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to others with an un-blemished record. You realize that you're rebutting an argument nobody made. This is likely because the arguments that have been made have no rebuttal. All of the signs of a scam are present. No explanation other than a scam is plausible. Therefore, it's almost certainly scam. Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him? |
