Yawn. Demonoid has shut down. Don't try to convince people to buy accounts for a nonexistent site; that's scamming.

I would like to preemptively register my interest in Kraken #2, assuming Kraken #2 is of similar nature to Kraken #1.

Yeah, that part I understood. I just noticed that you did not mention Starfish BCB when asked about compounding interest opportunities, hence my question. Thanks for explaining.

Since when is $12-13 an hour "next to nothing"?

Eskimo asked about compounding interest opportunities that you provided, and you stated that he would have to wait until September.

Unless I misread your thread, Starfish BCB gives 1% per week automatically compounding interest:


That's why I asked, my apologies for the lack of clarity.

Hmm? Is Starfish BCB closed?

Coins gone for three hours - THE PONZI IS COLLAPSING! THE END IS NIGH!

Perfectly logical.

I would guess otherwise, based on the, erm, usual poignancy of character Bitlane shows. Somehow I doubt the third symbol represents a state or province...

Bitlane, I see two possibilities here:

• BS&T is finally collapsing as so many have feared. You have somehow been the first to discover it.
• Pirate is asleep, not at his computer, or otherwise occupied. (What, people have lives apart from Bitcoin?)

I'm not going to judge as to the probability of either of those possibilities, but one thing is true in either case - bitching about it isn't going to do anything whatsoever.

And in regards to service thread locking, there is this magical, mystical, mysterious button labeled "New Topic". Confusing, I know, but you seem to have figured it out. It's revolutionary - you can fume all you want and those of us who want to keep track of happenings without reading twenty pages of utter crap can read the service thread.

Condemning someone for participation seems a little misguided. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be "don't equate post count or time here to legitimacy".

Ah, thanks Nefario.

But one could also hypothesize that a scammer might intentionally gain high post counts in order to convince users of his legitimacy. It all really depends on how much value we put on post counts. I would advocate none or very little, because many users with high post counts contribute very little, and many with low post counts contribute quite a bit. In the end, it comes down to personal judgement. No one single metric can judge whether or not a user is a scammer, post count included.

Who are you quoting? No one except you has used that term in this thread.

I concur with advising caution, but post count is not necessarily indicative of validity. Correlation does not imply causation.

Question: If someone does not initially purchase 5000 shares, but later obtains that amount, would they become a board member?

Whether you care or not is irrelevant. The media will care, and the media affects who decides to jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon, which affects you, like it or not. I agree that the media is often wrong and not necessarily beneficial as a whole, but that doesn't change the impact it has.

My point exactly. I do not know what you plan to do, nor do I care, but if the media catches wind, they will.

Here.

Regardless of permits, legality, or morality, the last thing Bitcoin needs is more drug-related press. Please, whatever you do or do not do, keep it low-key.

It's not mentioned on the public thread, and somehow I don't suspect Pirate maintains a secret higher-interest section.

Hmm? There has been an official announcement, unless you don't consider the BS&T thread official...
