BEWARE!  NEW SCAM ATTEMPT.

Some idiot is trying to fool people into sending BTC to their address by posting a link to a fake post that is supposedly on this forum by me.  It is obvious, but people should still be aware.  Always make sure any communication comes directly from me.  I am not shy.  You can reach out and confirm things that I've supposedly said, or just drop a line to say hi and make sure everything is on the up and up.  I am busy so I'm not much for chit chat, but I'm always willing to take the time to prevent a scam.

Here's the link that is being used to try and scam: http://bitcointalkboard24.pixub.com/

Please be careful and trade safely!

99% of the blame for that falls on the people who invested in things like Goat's fictional rice patty field or usagi's endless ponzi funds.  It got to the point where issuers weren't even listing where their revenue was going to come from.  They just claimed a return and people piled in. 

I do wish there were more good options so that sites tracking these securities would pop up, more investment was directed at worthy targets, and maybe even analysts popping up to cover them.  Right now, you are right, there is very little investment happening here due to the endless scam attempts and lack of BTC by it's remaining users.  It is a shame, because I think that this type of micro-security and Bitcoin is a perfect match with all sorts of potential to build some really great stuff.  Oh well...

Genius.

Now to think of what deal I will offer this year. 

I'm tempted, but I always jump a day too early...

I am participating in today's Bitcoin.com AMA alongside Core Developer Mike Hearn.  I've started a thread below and encourage you to ask any questions you may have for me.  Your support is always appreciated!

0.69 BTC shipped?

Congrats!  PM sent.

Auction ending soon.

I don't see a listing for the 25 LTC error coin.  Could have sworn I have 2 of the 10 LTC errors and a 25 LTC error.  Is my memory failing me?

Would NastyFans meet this criteria?  It is certainly a crypto asset and can be traded or exchanged like a cryptocurrency.  It has been traded on a public exchange for more than 3 years, has an api available showing the current value, total supply as well as the market cap and other statistics.  We also have a list of all historical trades.  I think it would make a nice addition to the site, as well as having been requested by one of your users.

Oh how I wish the Bitcoin community would shun Coinbase...  Everything about that company is pure evil.

They are still for sale but I don't think it would be worth it to ship these internationally.

Tempted to grab 3 of these to have as a backup in the event I lose a controller.  Would probably be the responsible thing to do...

They can easily power 2 s5s...   

Each board has 4 cables.  I will also include fans.  I believe these were the first Gekkoscience boards with the screw down cables.  They are already attached.

$230 is too low. 

With each big price increase comes a new round of newbie scammers.  Be careful and use escrow.  If accepting payments, remember to always wait for 6 confirmations before "counting your chickens."

You'd think I would remember remember the 5th of November...  You are 100% correct.  Auction ends in 24 hours.  My apologies.

Auction ends in ~90 minutes.
