Yes but you know gambling is a stupid way of doing it. 

I don't think there is a good way--if I did, I'd be doing it.  It seems like every business opportunity on bitcointalk is a scam.  Cloud mining is a scam, mining doesn't make money except for the big boys, etc etc.  You're asking the wrong people here, I think, including me.

No, there's a reason why lie detector tests aren't allowed in courts and that's because it's pseudoscience.  I think there's probably going to be enough evidence against Cryptsy that such an idea is going to be superfluous anyway.  The fact that they got "hacked" and did nothing about it for something like a year and a half isn't cool even if it were true.

I thought this was a legit seizure as well, but Michell or another senior member in another thread pointed out the differences, and it looks like it's just a smokescreen.  In other words, a scam.  So fuck 'em.

So I'll take your warning with a big grain of salt, seeing as how you and he are the only ones privy to your chat log.  You might well be right, but I think more evidence is needed if you're going to make a thread and call him a scammer.

Yahoo was definitely not to blame in this case.  He ran the sig campaign and by all accounts did a fine job and I'm sure he didn't know they were going to turn out to be scammers.

Edited to add:  Just saw the new feedback for Yahoo62278.  Those users are fucking idiots anyway, looking to heap blame on someone for their own idiocy.

I don't see any evidence of a scam here.  What am I missing?  He ceased corresponding with you, but that could be for a number of reasons.  If he's a scammer he sure as hell didn't try very hard.

I think waiting any longer is a mistake but I'm not a creditor here.  I think doxxing him would light a pretty hot fire under his ass, and that's sorely needed at this point.

He's logged in as I write this so maybe he'll stop by to respond.   You're lucky it was only $5.

It doesn't matter if you write in 20 point font, they won't remove him.  Next time do it with 24, they might listen.

Oh I don't know, maybe because they're a fucking exchange whose bread and butter is in those wallets?  I can't tell if yours is a serious question or just sarcasm.  Perhaps you should use the [/s] or something similar.

This is either outright scam or severe mismanagement or gross incompetence.  Time will tell.

No, of course not.  We've heard the "we got hacked" story before with Mt. Gox and even if they did get hacked, they apparently didn't do anything about it until just recently.  That's gross mismanagement.  I said they were fuckers over there, did I not?

I don't know anything about them running or participating in ponzis but it would not surprise me.  I thought they might have gotten caught taking one side of a number of trades and lost when the price dropped (or something like that).  I don't see how an exchange can lose money any other way unless something shady is going on.  And I definitely believe something shady was going on.

You obviously want to tell everyone "I told ya so", and I get it.  You did.  I'm not arguing with you here.  They were shady all along it appears.

Ahem.  I recall that we were stuck at around $225 for what seemed like months not too long ago, so where we're at right now isn't so bad and I think the price will likely go higher.  The recent drop seems to be because of Mike Hearn's comments, but who really knows?

I have been following the other thread that Spoetnik and Gleb Gamow have been bombing and it's a bit hard to actually glean information from it.  Where are the offices?  Who is the CEO? 

Cryptsy.com is not down, btw. 

Yeah, I don't know.  I was just voicing an opinion and I know there are many variables in play.  The 3.17T you mentioned has been wiped off of all stocks?  I'm not questioning the truth of that figure, I just don't know where you got it from or how it compares to 2009.  When all stocks lose value I'd expect the number to be that high as there are so many of them in existence.

Well if the problems were great enough he wouldn't have means to pay back, right?  So scamming becomes a viable option in that case.  But it looks for all intents and purposes that Master-P took out an interest-free loan from unwilling lenders.  I still can't figure out a good narrative for what happened here.  He's obviously paying the bitcoin back, albeit slowly, so he has it and has not spent it.  Maybe because he got scared?  I just shake my head at this.

Yeah, I think that's another reason why I like DOGE.  Their community is a friendly one and most of them seem genuinely nice and appear to be trying to get their coin used for real transactions.  I don't know if they're ever going to see mainstream acceptance but who knows.  It's a good coin and it's held its value thus far.

Yes, TECHSHARE you sounded the warning buzzer back in 2013 but I don't think they'd gotten themselves into the trouble that led them to the present mess yet.  But who knows what the truth is.  I opened an account with them earlier last year and everything seemed to go OK, but I wasn't making huge trades.  Just some DOGE-->BTC.  Thank blob I did not deposit a significant amount of anything there.  They're fuckers over there.

Go ahead and try it, dude.  You'll quickly find out what the real risks are, the main one being the risk of losing all your money very quickly.  For real, try it and get back to us.

Gaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

I'd have a hard time getting over this I think.  As far as altcoins go, I like DOGE and I have no rationale for it other than I like not having to use fractions and also the quick confirmation time.  I don't do any mining as I'm not into crypto that seriously.  But it's pretty much just bitcoin for me.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! 

I finally have just over one whole bitcoin.  Bought enough to bring me over 1 from Circle, which I'd never used before.  I do have to say it's pretty cool.  In the grand scheme of things it isn't a lot of money but it is a milestone of sorts in my bitcoin experience.
