It's a gamble. A really big gamble. I'd rather give my money to pirate than satoshiDICE. And I don't give him much.


@The OP
Work on your logic. While Schrodinger's cat is in its box, there is no "100% proof" that it's dead. We take the waveform of both the dead and the alive cat, but that doesn't mean much.
Why isn't your post 100% proof that pirate runs a legit business?

Here's a similarly flawed argument in favor of pirate:
"Statistically speaking, pirate always pays interest, therefore this is a 0-risk deposit"

If it can be a ponzi it is a ponzi some of the time -> 100% proof.
Bullshit. "If it can be legit it is legit some of the time -> 100% proof it's not a ponzi."

When do you (you being any anti-pirate person) think it's collapsing? Can I make more by betting against you than if I just gave my coins to Pirate?
How about I give 1BTC to escrow, and you give 1BTC to escrow, and the escrow pays out 0.071 per week to me, then if pirate defaults, you get the whole 1BTC from me, plus whatever's left of your capital?

Hell if I'm installing the mtgox app on my smartphone for 0.0007 BTC
1905  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: bitvisitor scam? on: July 05, 2012, 02:40:10 AM
what about the bitcoins they pay? is unclear how much you are going to receive,
all they let you know is "payments up to x BTC" what means nothing.

its like say "get a lottery ticket, you can get up to 10 million dollars!"
Once you enter your BTCaddress, it tells you exactly how much you will earn.
1906  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: bitvisitor scam? on: July 05, 2012, 02:19:11 AM
It worked for me

Actually, one member of the Lending forums has already stated that his interest rates for a pass-through will continue to be 6.75%...

"Estimated BTC Transacted" fascinates me. Sometimes it's right, other times wrong. But in transactions such as a recent interest payment I received, it has no idea. Neither output has been spent, so either could be to a change address. It guessed the lower number, and was wrong. Is it just flipping a coin?

What about small TX's? Doesn't it compromise anonymity just as much to have several different-address inputs combined (not to mention it costs more in KB --> fees) than to re-use the same address until it gets to a certain amount?

I expected it to be short, but apparently one needs to listen to the whole hour's worth of audio from each clip to even find the beginnings and ends of the interviews...
1913  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: $20 worth of Bitcoin for Audio work on: July 03, 2012, 12:48:17 AM
Can you please reply specifically to me? It's not very helpful the way you phrased it. How about I pay you 1 BTC for the 4 timestamps... Roll Eyes

How are you dealing with PayPal? Surely something bad is bound to happen...

Hey Trader Steve, did you cash that out yet?

Guess what?
The only suitable response is "what?"
1917  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] [YARR] Daily Insured Pirate Passthrough by CPA on: July 02, 2012, 10:29:27 PM
What's your plan for the upcoming interest reduction?
1918  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] Dirt cheap online storage on: July 02, 2012, 04:46:36 PM
Exactly. You don't need to check the whole file from every node. Just check random chunks of the file.
1919  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let's make a list of all the programs that pay bitcoins to do something. on: July 02, 2012, 02:16:48 AM
When FiveMinuteCoin.com is back up, add that to the list as well. I think it's the highest paying faucet (and rightly so, given that you need to stay there for 5 minutes...)

Arch Linux - only install what you want (seriously, it doesn't even come with a desktop installed) to keep everything light. Plus, you learn all about Linux while setting it up.
