The interest rate stops counting at bitcoinmax.com ?
I think payb.tc turned off the payment script, yeah. No reason to keep it running; it wouldn't change the proportionality. |

DEPOSIT|{sum}, where the sum is an integer, written in BTC (note that you can not deposit less than 10 BTC). You will be quoted an exact sum, which you must send to the exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). Don't round anything, the decimals are there to identify you as the beneficiary. You will be credited the full amount. This sounds like nothing could ever go wrong. Identify deposits by their decimals.  Why... on earth? How easy it would be to redirect customer funds and tell them that they sent the wrong amount... |

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. I suppose it would be too much to ask for you to write a single post without criticizing GLBSE in the same meaningless fashion. Bitlane, I wish you luck on getting your money back. At this point, you may need it. |

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.
Never mind, I guess you're just accepting bet increases. If you change your mind, let me know. |

Rarity, thank you for another superbly entertaining thread.

I posted this over in Goat's PPT thread, but I probably should have posted this here: So what's this I hear about sending a receipt of your GLBSE holdings directly to Pirate in order to be paid out? I read that in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104944.0Can anybody verify this is how PPT bond-holders are supposed to recoup their funds? I think it was just misinterpretation of confusing posts. If Pirate sent out a public request to bondholders, the forums would notice. |

I've had success with both vpsno.de (though they are not strictly Bitcoin, they accept it) and BitVPS. Whomever you choose, make sure you do due diligence first.

What are you looking for, ballpark? I have no idea what the going rate is for these...
|
|
|
|
|
The going market rate for Pirate debt is about 8 to 10 percent; you might want to reconsider your pricing.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll offer 20 BTC. If that's insufficient, what are you looking for, ballpark? (~400 BTC is no longer remotely reasonable)

Pirate just offered me double my BTC to shut up about everything.
witnessed Ah, a sighting of that Jolly Roger on the horizon! |

Usagi, can you explain "750btc Hedge (Matthew)" position in NYAN.C holdings?
I assume it means he placed a bet with Matthew to at least partially hedge NYAN.C's large amount of Pirate holdings. |

Bitcoinica? That's an unfortunate name... I don't think it was unintentional. |

Thanks ErebusBat. Who knows if anything will come of this, but I suppose it's worth a try.

VIII. Xenophobia
This one concerns me the most, as I think it could have far-reaching implications. Most people who read about Bitcoin and come here have read almost ubiquitously negative press discussing drugs, Ponzi schemes, and ever-imminent collapse. They decided to take a chance and investigate for themselves. What do they find? A community which refuses to do business with anyone relatively new. A community filled with animosity. Half the forums polluted with allegations of Ponzi schemes. In other words, they find exactly what the media told them to expect. Their conclusion? The media is right. Do we really want to embody what the media portrays us as? Of course, the large proportion of Bitcoin businesses that are actually Ponzi schemes - and the perhaps even larger proportion that are indistinguishable from Ponzis - would never cause anyone to conclude that the media is right. (Not to mention all the various self-described ponzis of varying degrees of honesty.) I also notice that all the people who have been screaming "troll!", "liar!", "put your money where your mouth is or shut up", etc at anyone who points out just how shady all the investment schemes on here are somehow don't feature in your plea for civility. Funny that. +1. I, for one, actually feel that at this point most people are not really ready for Bitcoin and Bitcoin is not really ready for them in some ways either. I've said that in another recent post, but I forgot which one it was. Probably the people who power through the negative posts that are (supposed to be) ubiquitous on these forums are slightly more ready to navigate the Bitcoin world than those who would be turned away by them. No harm done IMHO...but I'm not trying to run either a legitimate business or a scam off Bitcoin, nor do I need my speculative investment in BTC to bear fruit...well...ever, so other people may feel differently. I agree, but that is no reason to dissuade people from Bitcoin unused to the toxicity forum communities can have. The question is not 'what are we doing entirely wrong' insomuch as 'how can we improve'. |
