not trusting Nefario is reasonable.

except that he trusted him for a long time to raise lots of coins. Then when it's time to return them to the senders he did not trust him any more. oops

Then every other legit issuers trusted Nefario's data and followed up, with little or no incidents. double oops.

You still don't know exactly how much BTC Nefario has stolen through submitting his own/controlled addresses as ownership of various shares, but I can tell you it's not 0.

That was my initial thought as well, but I wanted to check if I had done something wrong first...
Mods on this forum have been purchased by BFL long ago. Now BFL just blackmails them from time to time by holding evidence of their corruption.

Don't confuse the scammy gmaxwell fuckwit with "the mods" generally.
1543  Economy / Services / Re: I have an idea for a new bitcoin startup that I think can revolutionize the way on: June 23, 2013, 03:17:29 PM
bitcoins are used in real world applications.  Allowing users to use and pay with bitcoins anywhere they so choose.

A little about myself, I'm a 31 year old engineer with development and graphic design experience.  I currently do development for a fortune 500 company designing network monitoring capabilities for PBX telephone systems.

In the past I worked on a team that developed www.millitalk.com -- I did most of the interface and graphic design for the application there, and no programming.

Requirements of the project:

-iPhone App
-Android App
-Pretty extensive web design including frontend, backend, dashboards, control interfaces and quite a bit more.

The project would not be a small under taking, but big rewards come with big risks right? 

If you have a team of engineers that would be interested in working with myself on this project or are a single engineer looking to make a team to see this project to completion please PM me. 

See here. Then go hunting for my post where I explain the value of "ideas".

PS. "Revolutionize" talk is a clear stigmata of idiocy. A little bit about yourself? Gtfo, srsly.

To help piss you off further: 38k BTC were invested in S.MPOE too.
Why would that piss me off?

Because bitcoin, or something!

The mistaken assumption is that people resent the fact that MPOE has stacks of BTC. In fact, nobody cares.

Are you fresh off the SA boat?

In response to a comment I am not quoting b/c I asked poster privately to reconsider. Had hoped to keep this thread a light hearted work in progress and avoid language that brings people down. I requested and appreciate input, not put downs.

 Its probably safe to say that if the subject line and first sentence of this thread does not tell you everything,  you are probably not my target customer.

Just in case commenter actually still does not follow with my business offering: I caveman. You give me furs. I give you worker.  It is unsettling to think how exactly my caveman recruiter ancestors did business. I'm thinking it somehow involved unwilling candidates - HA.

Also, my 20 words comment was facetious/antagonistic/bombastic/rambling..and entirely goofy as with the rest of the content. This is an internet forum bro.  I am not Don Draper. Geeeeez man gimme a break.

So you're UT's new sock. Welcome.

I have written about this for almost a year now and guess what - idiots are still dumping money to perpetual mining turds (bonds? LOL!).
Brilliant!

Aren't you the scammer stealing everyone's LTC with the comparatively much more retarded "buy clay ovens"? At least mining gear turns the heat into Bitcoin, which is closer to Bitcoin than etsy shit will ever get.

You are the poster child for "scammer trying to act like he's giving advice".
1552  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: MtGox wires ARE delayed on: June 23, 2013, 03:07:32 PM
So this goes to show that the US could interfere with many more USD transactions around the world if they wanted to.
And they have. In 2012 the US seized a USD wire from Denmark to Germany. It hs been reported that the US government has access to data on all international wires. See also http://www.coindesk.com/team-americas-dwolla-bashing-is-just-the-start/

Let me guess. The USD wire from Denmark to Germany used a correspondent bank in the United States. So in reality the funds went from Denmark to the United States to Germany. I doubt very much the payment could have been seized if it had been made in Euros.

Routing a payment for Cuban cigars through the United States is just very dumb, and yes it did violate US law.

Coindesk is a source now. Because they got twenty people in a pub in London together, which is the pinnacle of accomplishment, and because they're too fucking clueless to know that wasn't the first time twenty people got together in a pub in London. This is their claim to fame, and they get quoted now.

Wake up already, Bitcoin retardom.
1553  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: MtGox wires ARE delayed on: June 22, 2013, 08:15:05 PM
Yes, but I think Eurodollar deposits are generally largely backed by the deposit taker in turn holding dollars at a US bank, no?

No.
1554  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: MtGox wires ARE delayed on: June 22, 2013, 04:18:38 PM
WTF ! If the US decides to go after Bitcoin in a big and more overt way then they could disrupt transactions which go nowhere near a US bank.

Whatever makes you think that a US Dollar transfer would go nowhere near a US bank?  For a brief description of how international wire transfers work, see this post on the Bitcoin Foundation's blog:

https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=63

It's a fiat currency after all, so it only exists because because the US says it does.  And only US banks (or US branches of foreign banks) have access to the Federal Reserve system.  This isn't unique to the US and the US Dollar, BTW - it's just how fiat currency works.

roy

Interesting read. So this goes to show that the US could interfere with many more USD transactions around the world if they wanted to.

I guess one way to get around any interference would be to have the sending bank convert the USD into a different currency in house before sending the wire.

For example a Japanese company that deals with a lot of foreign transfers could convert a USD payment into Yen and then wire the Yen to the recipient where it would be converted by the receiving bank into the accounts native currency. This would probably cost a bit more though.


Quote
As I said earlier, USD does not really exist out of the US, meaning here that your bank owns a bank account with another bank in America to deal with USD, and the same is true for the merchant's bank that you are sending money to.

The linked article is uniquely ignorant. There is such a thing as Eurodollars, which is a topic ignoramuses such as the people signing "opinions" for the Bitcoin Foundation scam are well advised to read up on.

Yes, people deal in dollars outside the reach of the US all the damned time. There's even a fucking futures on them, one of the higher volume future contracts traded. How can people be this clueless, seriously?

This is the problem of Bitcoin: nobodies make things with pompous names, such as "the official client" or "the bitcoin foundation" or what have you. These are no different in practice from a 3 inch reproduction of the Eiffel tower in masticated chewing gum.

Then nobodies go around quoting this bullshit as if it were meaningful or relevant. Then shit hits the fan and everyone is like... "oh...because Bitcoin". No. Not because Bitcoin. Because nobodies.

1557  Economy / Securities / Re: Mining Bonds, Stocks For People Who Can't Do Basic Maths. on: June 22, 2013, 03:53:33 PM
It's quite clear that the majority of people buying mining bonds, haven't got a clue what they are actually buying, otherwise they wouldn't be paying such ridiculous sums.

Look at TAT.VIRTUALMINE going for 0.00518 BTC. It's currently paying 0.00002600 BTC per day per share. At that rate, it would take 200 days to mine 0.00518 at a constant difficulty.

If we assume a 10% difficulty increase per round, then the daily dividends for the next 10 successive rounds look like the following:

Round 1 = 0.00002364 BTC
Round 2 = 0.00002149 BTC
Round 3 = 0.00001954 BTC
Round 4 = 0.00001776 BTC
Round 5 = 0.00001615 BTC
Round 6 = 0.00001468 BTC
Round 7 = 0.00001334 BTC
Round 8 = 0.00001213 BTC
Round 9 = 0.00001103 BTC
Round 10 = 0.00001003 BTC

Those 10 rounds will take just 12.7 days each, so say 13 days of dividends at that rate for each round. So, over those 130 days, a total of 0.00207722 BTC would be mined. In fact, with a constant 10% difficulty increase each round, over the next 57 successive rounds (next 2 years), only 0.00336580 BTC would be mined.

If you're looking into mining bonds, you should be looking at the short term profits over each difficulty round.

TAT.VM was still around 0.007 BTC per share at the beginning of this difficulty round. Assuming a full 14 days per round (no difficulty increase), then the maximum amount mined per share for the current round would be 0.00036406 BTC. If we assume TAT.VM would sell at 0.005 BTC per share at the end of this difficulty round, then that would be a net loss of -0.007 + 0.005 + 0.00036406 = -0.00163594 BTC. In order to make a profit, TAT.VM shares would have to sell for more than 0.00663594 BTC (ignoring trading fees) at the end of the round.


As you can clearly see, the current prices for these mining bond are insanely overpriced. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than 0.002 BTC per Mh/s.

Welcome back to last year's discussion on PMBs.

I took the afternoon off today, after spending most of the last 48h obsessing over the site.

When I got back the site had suffered a 12 BTC loss.

Apparently some guy calling himself "mp" had some luck:

Epic Talent Acquisition for Cryptocurrency Enterprise. Root access to all talent. Nerdy, tech guys on the cutting edge of Human-Capital.

For some reason this still isn't working.

Are you trying to buy some sort of product or service? Are you trying to sell some sort of product or service? Are you advertising some social media platform? Are you trying to hire or be hired?

I am unable to select one of these as the obvious, or even as the "more probable on the balance of things". Do you understand why that is a bad thing, maybe?

You are trying way way too hard, to the point of coming off as someone struggling with a clinically relevant bout of thought disorder (derailment, tangentiality, stiltedness and approximation, illogicality, perseveration, incoherence, loss of goal, neologisms, take your pick).
