If you are customer of a bank that committed a fraud then your not complicit to that fraud.  People can sell large amounts of coins whenever they want but not do so in a way of trying to manipulate the market by telling other regular traders you are going to lower the price and encouraging them to sell also.

I think I would have rather settled with the new money coming into bitcoin.  There was no vapour this time just growth and the market is more mature.  I think lots of other larger actors would have started dumping post $10.  This was just Pirate trying to protect his HYIP.  Yes I would prefer steady growth but not at the cost of market manipulation.

I think doing that publicly will only scare off new investment into btc.

I think he has scared off a lot of new money coming into bitcoin for a few days with his show of price manipulation.

I think this does show Pirate is getting unnerved by this growth in the BTC/$ value.  I expect him to decrease interest rates in his HYIP if prices go above $9 again and stay there at the least.  In the worse case he disappears with everyone principles and people start telling you "I told you so". 

As repayment for the miners lost coins maybe he should opensource his software.  So it can be improved and others can run it and the miners can still have merged mining payouts.

It looks like we should have enough coin saved from the FPGA mining to pay the import tax of the 40GH/s ASIC and purchase RSM its own cheap PC (with warranty) within nine to ten weeks at current mining difficulty and exchange rates.  That's at least three weeks before the 40GH/s ASIC will ship.  We have currently sold ~1800 shares so excluding the FPGA we will be at 22.2MH/s a share.  So all profits will be saved from the ASIC to quickly purchase another as I expect the first three months of ASIC to be the most profitable and we paid for ours within two weeks of pre-orders starting.  That would take us to 80GH/s over ~1800 shares or 44.4MH/s a share.  Once we reach that figure a decision will have to be made on what on what amount of profits should be saved towards more ASIC's.  The more profit that is saved the faster the dividend will grow and secure RSM future.  As according to Moore's Law the ASIC speeds should double every eighteen months.
The other plan was to issue 1700 new shares selling 2150 in total from RSM holdings to purchase four more 40GH/s ASIC which would take us 50MH/s a share.  Tho the investment doesn't look like its coming.  If we'd have stuck with the original plan of buying GPU's and paying all profits out in dividends then RSM probably would have had to shut down in October.  With us managing to get a refund on one of our long awaited FPGA's we were able to make the inital purchase of our first ASIC.  Now with us saving everything we've got until we are operating at >40MH/s a share post ASIC RSM has a secure future.  If the BTC/$ value keeps rising then we will have to increase the 40MH/s a share offer.
So while we are not currently paying a dividend all profits are going toward more hardware.  The current wallet is about ~BTC26 and I will update the public spreadsheet tomorrow. 

Thanks looks long but I'll probably watch it.  That first link the short video makes me want to almost buy a Kim Jong-il poster 

Anarchism can only be implemented once technology has rendered capitalism obsolete.  Otherwise you are just handing direct control to the top 1% of wealth holders.  If we was living under anarco-capitalism then I'm sure the top 1% wealth holders who were in control would have an elected council so the plebs, peasants and serfs felt like they had a voice and wouldn't revoult.  Tho that elected council would be rigged so only supporters of the top 1% of wealth holders could come to power.  The top 1% of wealth holders would use there control of the media and banks to make that happen.  Sound familiar?

I do believe the FED could collapse the dollar and every major trading fiat currency in the world within seven days if it wanted to.  Tho if you look at the US they have pretty much everything they need within its own continent/country and they also have the worlds largest nation/state gold reserves.  If they wanted they could shut the doors on the world with there own now local currency and go isolationist again as they were before the invention of the Federal Reserve.  
Tho if you look at the overpopulated island of Great Briton which is probably the worlds fiat financial hub then if the dollar or euro would go then the pound would follow it.  As the UK sold over 50% of it's gold reserves for fiat investments just before the modern rise in the price of gold after 2003.  That is why I think Cameron's possible referendum on UK membership of the EU is very dangerous for the UK.  As without German and French support post fiat the UK peoples would starve in poverty even tho it's a playground for billionaires with it's suitable tax laws for the super wealthy.

I contacted "The Lawful Bank" - http://lawfulbank.com/Welcome - a kind of national credit union trying to start in the UK (credit unions are a bit different in the UK from the US) and they seemed interested in accepting bitcoin deposits.

I agree the price is still up more than $0.01 from before the rally and in litecoin terms that's a lot.

Only of the shares.  The shares pay no dividend and just offer voting rights in the Charities motions.

They'd make a lot more web-mining for LTC as most people will be mining off there CPU.

That's what I thought    Maybe some kind of gpg-keyring
