Two weeks®? Yeah, right...

There's one major thing missing from this list... a timeline as to when each comment was written.  The OP seriously seems to think that these are current claims, when several of them were made months ago.  Call it was it really is, a lack of updating the website with current information.

I challenge the OP with this:  Show me an ASIC company that has not told ANY lies.  Let's not focus on one, let's put them all on the table.  Otherwise, this is simply another hate thread intended to incite riot because the OP is just another troll.

KnCminer and ASICMiner had hidden the truth, but so far I am aware they never produced blatant deceptions like BFL to sell products.

Your "everyone lie so it is fine to lie" argument is pretty much pathetic.

If we are going to demonstrate as a community that they need to deliver or refund us our money, it needs to be more against the business of AMT and the assets they are holding.

I alerted people like you months ago, that AMT was run by one-man operation in USA from Bulgaria. All you have is a case against a fictional entity which purposely sold products using the name of an unrelated company. There is no assets, there is no holdings... You were all pretty much duped. Assets were never collected from any fraudulent company involved with Bitcoin and will certainly not happen in the near future.

Do you people ever think sometimes that Internet money cannot buy all things in life, which includes "peace of mind" or "privacy"?
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Andreas Antonopolous raising funds for Dorian Nakamoto on: March 21, 2014, 10:25:40 PM
Man, I've been begging on this thread to get the donations that have been raised to Dorian asap, not to wait until the end of March.

There is now a statement from Dorian:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=520968.0

which says he had to cut off his internet connection due to "severe financial distress".

Can we get on with this NOW please? You know, instant money transfer we proport to be? He's could do with the money NOW, not in two weeks time, as I've been saying all along  Angry

Hurry up, guys! Do not leave the harassment for later. Let's force the man right now to accept this Internet money we gathered!

Go go go.

He is cutting all ties from our virtual world of Bitcoin.

LOL

That's a great idea, but you would still need the 20 million USD MSB and KYC AML compliance to handle only a small amount of loose change. A savings account doesn't need any more than a local SEC license.

I guess you don't like the idea that Bitcoin savings can be more profitable than saving your money in a bank.

If the saving account was guaranteed by a contract, yes. However that is not what happens with BTC. Anyone holding BTC do not have any guarantee to receive interest over the amount hold. BTC holders rely on a forever optimistic market to increase their capital.

Think about my idea. Perhaps a company could create their own electronic cash (Airportcoins?) and use as unit of account to keep track of the deposited loose change. Them they could use that electronic cash to speculate in the exchange markets. That would be possible because there would be always people depositing loose change here and there around the world. People would only redeem the amount deposited after some time, providing the company with funds enough to leverage in the exchange markets. That could generate a margin of profit to allow the company pay back the same amount deposited by a customer.

The current "ATMs" that work more like exchanges or two-way vending machines are better in my opinion. Why would you want to pay for a service where you let a major target that's always connected to the internet hold on to your bitcoins instead of you?
Actually nobody would hold your bitcoins. They would be locked in escrow. I had thought this would be a way to get around money laundering provisions as the customer would only be able to deposit and withdraw cash, but still benefit from Bitcoin market performance. It's not an exchange because the ATM operator would not hold the bitcoins either, only a part of a multisig key set. This is just a new concept that hasn't been explored. Someone like Coinbase would have the liquidity to operate this through market fluctuations.

I'm the first to admit this isn't a useful idea except from a regulatory perspective as there is almost no risk of using the bitcoins for transmitting money.

A useful idea for this is if the nLockTime feature was used, it could be an simple, easy to use self-serve trust fund.

OK, look like you are in lack of ideas. Let me give you one similar to an ATM machine.

Every airport should have a machine to people exchange their coins (the real ones, fiat money coins) for something like BTC. That could be very useful for people which do not want to carry coins from a currency to a place where that currency is not accepted. I know traditional money exchangers do not accept coins, so those people only have that expensive groceries machine to spend the coins. But sometimes people is already full of groceries when they reach the machines, so they do not want to buy more groceries. So there could be a machine which would buy their coins and sell something like BTC.

The 51% "attack" is a vote, not an attack

It light of many recent, high value bitcoin thefts the Bitcoin community has been discussing freezing stolen coins.  (See for example the discussion that generated this one, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508971 )  Many are opposed to it because they see it as regulation.  But the regulation does not have to come from a judge or one so-called authoritative entity.  It can come from the votes of the community, i.e. miners.  And this is the way it should be.

I call on the developers of Bitcoin to place a priority on providing to the community and miners a simpler interface through which the miners may freeze particular coins.  The pools that show a high regard for democratic principles will lead the way to a more respected currency.
Quit talking about it and get off your ass and fork the chain.  I am so sick of all these threads talking about forking the chain.  Do it already!

This is becoming a pattern altogether with that threads asking for donations.

When someone is not asking to receive BTC, someone is asking to confiscate BTC.

some people do not have/want bank accounts

The only people which do not have bank accounts is the people which:

- Have money, but they could care less about use a bank account to hold their money.
- Do not have money, so no reason to have a bank account.

So, whatever they have money or not, they could care less to have BTC because:

- If they do not trust in bank accounts, why would they trust in computer software?
- If they do not have money, then they will certainly not have BTC.

There is not anyone begging to have bank accounts because they want to use ATMs. Have you ever heard about people protesting to have bank accounts? People protesting to use ATMs?

some people do not want to search listings on a localbitcoin website and arrange a meet up to get cash in hand
some people want to just walk upto a box in their neighbourhood unplanned and swap their bitcoin for banknotes any time they please, to then spend in a pub/bar.

Yeah, sure, but there is no point to do that when traditional ATM already does.
153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Make a real ATM on: March 10, 2014, 11:29:40 PM
Bitcoin ATM is one of the most stupid idea I even came to know. Why are you concerned with something almost useless?

I have met many people buying person to person through localbitcoins. There is a big demand for exchanging cash for coins. The vast majority of people don't know how to install a download or set up an encrypted, backed up wallet. But they know what cash is, and want bitcoin for it. This market is very big.

Sure, I agree with you. There must a demand and the current Bitcoin ATMs certainly does the job. But the idea of an ATM for Bitcoin is just... Well... What is the point to withdraw fiat money from a BTC exchange machine if any ordinary ATM already does that?

Now, to buy BTC looks interesting, but it is still not completely secure and affordable. The process to obtain BTC from the machine rely in many point of failures. Moreover, why go to a machine to obtain BTC if a person can do whatever they want with fiat money? Again, no point to have all the hassle to find the machine, hope there is liquidity, them pay expensive fees and finally wait few minutes to have funds in BTC. If the goal is to buy something, all that can be avoided with a Paypal account or a credit card.

A Bitcoin ATM is a machine trying to solve a problem which has already being solved.
154  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Thread: AMT on: March 10, 2014, 11:04:04 PM
Does anyone have definitive shipping dates? I want to hold AMT to what they say so I have more justification (as if I need any more) when it comes time to pursue legal action. I gave a week since my last email and have gotten no information in return. I have given far too much of my time to AMT, but I have allowed four more days before I take some action. This has become quite ridiculous. Any large corporation would have been sued so long ago for doing this. I do not like to be that person, but I know when I am entitled to something. I will update this thread again after Friday as to status of my pursuit of justice in this matter. Hopefully that will not be necessary.

Yeah, sure, you will certainly receive your order in two weeks®!

Primeiro minuto do video o tal do Tony ja entregou o jogo. Da para perceber na inguagem corporal e na estrutura linguistica dele. Ma apresentacao de si mesmo, desejou primeiro feliz dia das mulheres para a alguem na plateia e ignorou o resto da audiencia. Ai entao falou se nome, mas emperrou na hora de explicar de onde ele vem, quem ele e para onde esta indo. Dai veio a baboseira, mal falada, que nao da para aguentar mais que alguns minutos. Quando o assunto e enganar os outros, como diz um amigo meu, "tem que encher linguica". Ou seja, se o projeto dele fosse realmente inovador e sem frescuras ele falaria tranquilo, seguro de si e confiante no seus objetivos.

You lost any moral ground to argue with me. I had some respect for you before, but now I am sure you are in bed with Theymos. Your constant excuses and justifications is why people like Theymos is not held accountable for their actions.

Sr. Tony, sinto que você me deve um valor à título dos danos que você causou à minha imagem e pessoa quando divulgou meu nome, email profissional, atividade, planos empresariais, bem como por ter me chamado por mais de uma vez de moleque e maconheiro.

Aonde isto aconteceu?

Eu venho falando que isto e um conto do vigario desde o inicio, mas os idiotas de plantao fizeram graca dos meus comentatiros.

Nope I do not, nor would I advise escrowing 100 BTC through my services. The only real trust is mathmatical logic, it has little to do with past performance.

I advise anyone looking for an escrow service to avoid agents which are not willing to identify themselves.
160  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Obligatory I'm not dead or running post on: March 10, 2014, 06:31:54 PM
OK, thank you for the responses. I have signatures disabled, so I was not aware that he was offering escrow service. This explain why SaltySpitoon and Theymos did not allow me to use the important announcements section to offer escrow service. Now I am sure that Theymos conspired with John K to establish a false sense of trust among the forum users. Once John K came out of scene, SaltySpitoon came in. Both are now conspiring together to deter the competition. Every piece of the puzzle is starting to fit together. Anyone reading SaltySpitoon post history will discover that he is always defending Theymos actions. It is also interesting to note that SaltySpitoon was promoted from staff directly to global moderator without any merit. This indicate that Theymos put him in a important position to instigate (again) a false sense of trust among the forum users. Keep in mind that John K was also a global moderator and that was essential to people trust him. So at this point it is obvious that SaltySpitoon has replaced John K.
