Well as far as we know he has no coins to sell. I doubt he will be buying coins but that is the only option for him. No downward pressure, some slight chance of upward pressure.

You should fix the picture. He started in 2011. |

he actually "stole" much less than 500,00 BTC.
Could you please elaborate? I am trying to collect as many sources as possible to provide an objective but accurate estimate to the extent of damage. New source states 500000 BTC stolen: DailyTech. Uncited, though. It is a guess though a pretty accurate number could be had if all of the pass-through published data and you added that to bitcoinmax and gpumax. You do have to figure that the interest is not real though. If you deposited 100 BTC in the beginning and it compounded to 300 BTC it should be counted as 100 BTC. Pirate may have lied to you , but he did not take 300 BTC. |

I think the patent system in the USA is out of control, especially with software and business process patents but Apple is a master of this game.
Most of what Google has (through Motorolla) are standards essential patents which sound great but really not a big deal. Motorola signed contracts guaranteeing that they would license these patents at low FRAND prices. Google has already lost court cases around the world trying to use these FRAND cases in anti-competitive manner. Apple on the other hand has patents that have been backed up with courts and are not contractually bound. Apple can decide to license them or just say no one can make a device with that feature. Apple is not obligated to come up with a fair price for these patents.
Long term Google is going to lose this battle.

Or more illustrative - does anyone have any evidence of any direct Pirate debt being sold at discount? Passthroughs don't count. Anyone? Anywhere?
Bitcoinmax is the type account being traded outside of the GLBSE. |

Plain and simple, if he pays out, the markets will tank as everybody rushes to mtgox with their payouts to cashout.
If he doesnt pay, all the coins that would have tanked the market are now out of the equation, leaving the price as is.
While I agree with D&T that he probably does not have the coins.... I do not agree with this 'groupthink' that everyone is going to rush to mtgox to cash out if they did get the coins. Most people here want to have their bitcoins back, because they are theirs, not just to cash out. Sure, the price may tank a bit, but now even selling 10k coins only drops the price for a day and it slowly creeps back up. |

Finally, got my 2215 btc interest paid in full... about to sell now while it's still high in value.
While I do not accept that this payment has happened..... We would need to see at least 5000 BTC move in a day for him to be considered doing anything as that is one days 'interest'. Unless there is something big and verifiable by key members I would regard anything small as an attempt to prop of the value of these debts for resale purposes. |

Before I cast my vote, when was his payment due? He was supposed to give withdraw for some people on August 17. On August 18, according to his own terms, he defaulted. He then explained he's closing shop, and starting the pay back process on August 20, stating that it would take him 1 week. Did anyone get paid back yet?
Yes, some accounts were paid back on August 22 and August 23. The amount paid back is nothing more then a rounding error. |

This is nonsense.
People should think a lot harder before posting private information.
This is not private information. Pirate posted that Dropbox link on a public forum. The individual in question maintains a blog about himself. I do not see how simply reproducing that material might offend privacy as you appear to imply. As always on the internet, you are the sole responsible for what you put on the web; the web doesn't force you. Posting of the mere information about Greg itself might not be a crime but the entire post seems like clear slander. He does not say that they are related, he says one is the other. Unless that is true, it is slander. IANAL Almost certain what you're saying isn't true. Why?? What part? Well, first, I'm pretty sure "slander" isn't a crime. Second, the word you're looking for is libel. Third, a suit for defamation would require OP to be negligent in his publication, or knowing that it is a false statement (doubtful). I think negligence may be provable, depending on the care OP took in his research. In short, there are several hurdles to leap. And if one is going to say, "OP is a slanderer," does one not subject himself to the same cause of action for defamation of which he accuses OP? I never said slander was a crime, nor did I say the OP committed a crime. Here is the definition of slander. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/slander |

ハリー・ポッターはいろいろな意味で、きわめて普通ではない男の子だった。
まず、一年中で一番嫌いなのが夏休みだった。
第二に、宿題をやりたくてしかたがないのに、真夜中に、こっそりやらざるをえなかった。
その上、ハリー・ポッターはたまたま魔法使いだった。
真夜中近く、ハリーはベッドに腹這いになって、頭から毛布をテントのようにすっぽりかぶり、片手に懐中電灯を持ち、大きな革表紙の本(バチルダ・バグショット著「魔法史」)を枕に立てかけて鷲羽ペンのペン先で頁の上から下へとたどり、宿題のレポートを書くのに役立ちそうなところを、眉根をよせて探しているところだった。
「十四世紀における魔女の火あぶりの刑は無意味だった――意見を述べよ」という宿題だ。
それらしい文章が見つかり、羽ペンの動きが止まった。ハリーは鼻にのっている丸いメガネを押し上げ、懐中電灯を本に近寄せてその段落を読んだ。
I don't know why you guys are talking about pirate, this is a Harry Potter thread. Someone edited out OP. would someone please check who did that? (by placing your cursor on the op's date) I'm on a tablet hence I can't do so . The original poster edited it and moved it. |

Agreed. Basically a casual link, they know each other. Nothing else can be assumed from this. |

Team Bitcoin! Stephen, Heather, and Tony promoting Bitcoin at Paul Fest
Vette's for Ron Paul!
We sold a bunch of the Casascius bitcoins today and we were accepting credit cards in the booth. We sold out! I will have to bring more tomorrow.
The samples from BitPantry and BeeBros were big hits!
We met some of the RNC Delegates from Oklahoma and Louisiana. The big C-SPAN bus was there today also.
And incase you are wondering, YES - Heather has a blockchain wallet on her iphone, she has a BitFloor account, and we paid her in bitcoins today and she knows how to use them!
Tomorrow's schedule includes Peter Schiff and Adam Kokesh. Should be another great day!
Thanks for all of your hard work promoting bitcoin! I should have sent more stuff!! |

3 - 8 pin pcie connectors. Wow. It would be better for mining to make a card that can get down to two 8 pin connectors and may run at a lower maximum clock rate with far less room for overclocking. Of course this is not going to happen now that ASICS and FPGA's are around.
They did not build this card with miners in mind specifically. Yes it will mine great, but they built it the way it is for a reason. True. It is a top gaming card and most probably would be faster then a reference card by ATI if one does come soon. |

Voting for a libertarian will be a "waste of time" until so many people do it that people like you feel like their vote matters.
If you want that day to come sooner, vote anyways to send a message: "we haven't given up".
Many can vote libertarian or other third party but are too stubborn to do so. Take a solidly democratic state like Maryland..... Republicans do not have a chance of winning. They can vote libertarian instead if they are unhappy with their party of the two party system. Democrats in solidly republican states like Utah and Idaho can do the same. |

Thanks for giving more feedbacks. Many of my customers bought windows 7 key rather than windows 8 key. As far as I know, no one complaints to me that their windows 7 has expired.
The 7 keys won't expire just because Windows 8 is out. True. But Windows 7 pre-release keys did expire sometime after the Windows 7 launch. Same will happen with Windows 8 pre-release. |

Your Win 8 keys are worthless, this RTM version which MSDN states quite clearly is time limited and WILL NOT BE UPGRADEABLE or converted. Same thing that happened when the RTM build of Win 7 came out. Anyone who subscribes to Tech Net knew this a month ago.
RTM aka Release to manufacturing, Maybe you didn't understand what mass distribution means. It means RTM is exactly the same as retail version. Get a f*** idea of what RTM means before sh*ting all over this place. Careful, your CoinDiver sock puppet posts are blowing your cover!
I thought that he really acted like a shill account of mine a day ago when I saw his reply. I was surprised that he spent so much time defending myself. Maybe he just wants the truth to be out. I will not operate a shill account so obviously. Anyway, thank you CoinDiver for defending the truth. PS: see my sig for my history transactions. I surely have a bunch of shill accounts including various hero members on this forum. Wow. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. RTM does mean release to manufacture but the KEYS are controlled by Microsoft. So the RTM disk/ISO/download will be mass produced as the disk Microsoft sells, but the MSDN keys DO EXPIRE. Microsoft has actually done this two times before, Win Vista and Win 7 and intends to do it for Win 8. |
