Beat me to the punch. You can provide secondary ID like a passport and you can withdraw a lot more than $10k.

Second, any talk of 'the manipulator' as a real entity (beyond a joke) is pure tomfuckery. Every day, stock brokers make mistakes that cost their clientele a month's worth of trading on Mt. Gox. The money tied up in bitcoin is some fucking frat boy's trust fund.

all the fancy book learnin' in the word don't mean shit if you don't play the game.

yeah...he's randtrollin', holmes.

Stop reading philosophy and take things from life, for fuck's sake.

4% =/= $.20

Guns, bitches and weed.

How does this 'lock in' that certain amount of profit?


If your win at the casino is guaranteed, as you imply with your system, you'd be a fool not to let it ride. Of course you need to cash out eventually, but not while you are still raking in ponzi-sized returns.

Transparency.


Transparency.


Seriously, though...I have no problem with you or anyone else making a buck off of a pool, or bitcoin in general, but there is a difference between doing your own thing off in the corner vs. playing with the rest of the class. I ran yesterday with my donations set to 100% on arsbitcoin, cause this price slump is hurting all the pool ops and they are offering a valuable service. I also donate to the software developers whose crap I use. I even donate for some stuff I don't use but I like the idea of. Since this price slump, I have tried to make purchases from every reputable vendor I could. I don't think I am the only one doing it. There are a lot of bright minds intent on making this work.

You could do exactly the same as you are doing now, but open source and allowing it to be used anywhere. You would certainly silence the likes of me, and I don't think it would affect the appeal or potential profitability of the pool. I think a simple mining app is very much needed, and I applaud you for developing one. Now let everyone play. It would be beneficial for the whole community, and would win you a bunch of rep. In the long run, you would still make a profit, and in my mind, you would make it even faster after dropping some sweet software on our heads and gradually swaying us all over to your pool.

I initially replied to this thread half-trolling because I don't like the idea of closed source miners, as there is an huge and obvious risk involved with them. I haven't used the program, so I cannot comment on that, but your site looks very clean and professional compared to many of the larger pools out there and you seem like a genuinely nice guy. I am not trying to hate, I am just saying what I am thinking, and I bet I'm not the only one.

I wish you luck with your interview. Be sure to link it in the Bitcoin Press thread if there is an online version!

If your 'take' is proportional to your investment, why not reinvest all earnings since it is such a 'sure thing'? If this is the "most stupidest" question you have read so far, I am pretty surprised. I am only asking why you lack confidence in that which you are telling us to blindly trust.

Rather than 'stopping' the system and starting at $1000 over and over again, why not wager the larger amount? I mean, you can't lose, right?

+1 TECSHARE...excellent service!

Also,

+1 Binford6000 - z$ exchange
+.5 flaxceed - pharmies (picked up at the PO this morning! requiring signature confirmation on questionable substances is no good)

If this system 'can't lose', why would you ever withdraw your earnings from it? Seems a foolish move for someone with so much confidence in their method.

You can take the cushion off the sofa, but god help you if you cut that tag off the cushion...

So maybe land is like a sofa...if you are a 14-year-old trollmod.

And now, one hour later, I am the proud owner of L4D2. Super smooth trade, great prices, quick service...the trifecta.

Thanks, TECSHARE

Wow...in your meager 17 years on this earth, you have managed to become quite omniscient. When did you spend time there before the US occupation? How long? What do you remember most?

It's called the long con...get enough rubes together and fleece them all at once after they trust you. Not sure how long you've been around the bitcoin community, but this wouldn't be the first example of it.

The software is perfectly capable of very malicious things. Does it do them? No one knows because it's not open source or audited in any way.

This isn't about me...this is a thread asking if bitminter is safe...I am merely pointing out the many things that make it unsafe. To top it off, there is DrHaribo, who is making proprietary software (to turn himself a profit) that rides on the backs of people participating in a p2p network in good faith. Why not further bitcoin, instead of furthering DrHaribo's pocketbook? The two goals are not exclusive, and his talent could be better applied to the spirit of the project, rather than some profit-whoring offshoot that no one actually needs.

That's a nice stats page!

Everything seems clean and well-done. I (and I am not alone) am just super sketched-out by proprietary bitcoin software. And paying out of pocket for people to use it seems...unprofitable.

Why didn't he spend all that time and money to improve existing open source architechture and performance, choosing instead to reinvent the wheel? Why is he paying out 5% out of pocket for people to use his software after investing all this time and money? Why hasn't he spent more time developing rapport with the community?

You don't think that situation is rife with potential for dishonesty?

You should look into SolidCoin - if running some jackass's proprietary and potentially malicious software that is too good to be true is up your alley.
