Wow. Isn't this pretty much the biggest public endorsement of Bitcoin to date?

Might as well publish the last email that was sent to investors (Nov 8th 2012):

I've sent a PM to the highest bidder. Thanks for all the offers!

Thanks for the offer. I've committed to selling for now, but if my buyers fail to come through, I'll definitely consider it.

It's possible that they're making an exception for me. I told them I won't be around to receive the order because of their delay in shipping dates, and asked if I could get it shipped to someone else instead. Brian from BFL replied and said this wouldn't be a problem.

We will use an escrow for this transaction, so worst case scenario: BFL refuses, your money gets refunded, and I'll just have to cancel my order with BFL.

I have personal confirmation from BFL over email that the shipping address can be changed.

The Kraken fund was supposed to be 100% backed by his personal funds. (Note to self: Why would an investment ever promise 100% backing of losses and still send you profits? What's in it for them?)

Well, as it turns out, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

An email was sent by PatrickHarnett two days ago to fund investors that the 100% backing didn't really exist. Since a large percentage of the fund was put into pirate debt, Kraken is now officially in default. The higher of 100 BTC or half the pending balance of each account has already been paid back, from liquidation of personal assets. This allegedly adds up to 75% of the entire fund value. There is still a promise that the remaining 25% will be paid back, if ever recovered from the "toxic" and illiquid assets held.

I'm not sure if the above email should be made public, but any of the Kraken investors can attest to the above. Even if the Starfish BCB issue is ignored entirely, I believe a scammer tag is appropriate purely on the basis of misrepresentation of the Kraken fund.

I have received some bids in private, and it appears they would rather not disclose their bids publicly. To accommodate this, I will now accept bids in PM. There's probably no incentive any more to post them publicly. (Sorry AfricanHunter, your bid is still valid though.) Just send me your offers and I'll sell to the highest one I get in the next three days.

See this post. Little single upgrades will keep their place in line.

tl;dr: Selling pre-order #1693 for the 30GH/s BFL Little Single SC. Send me offers in PM. Offers accepted until 23:00 PST on Tuesday, Nov 13, 2012.

I have possession of one of the very first pre-orders (paid in BTC): #1693 (see list of pre-order numbers here). This will pretty much be in one of the first shipments going out from BFL. Due to BFL changing shipment dates, I won't be around to receive the shipment, and will end up wasting the most lucrative first 2-3 weeks of mining.

This was initially an order for 4 Jalapenos, but was converted to a 30GH/s Little Single SC. It's expected to ship by the end of November. US priority shipping has already been paid for. Conversion to international shipping can be done for an extra $54 (in BTC) over the sale price.

I'm now putting this up for auction. I've already checked with BFL if the shipping address on the order could be changed and they were fine with it. Minimum bid is 70 BTC. Auction closes at 23:00 PST on Tuesday, Nov 13, 2012. Please post bids publicly in this thread. Minimum bid increment: 0.1 BTC. I now accept bids in PM.

We can use a mutually agreeable escrow from this list. Once the funds are in escrow, I will email BFL with the request to modify the shipping address (with you and the escrow in cc). Escrow must be released when BFL confirms that the order modification is complete.

Here is a "screenshot proof" of my order. My OTC ratings can be found in my sig. Happy bidding!

This is unacceptable. I received a duplicate payment, a trivial amount, and I will return it. But not based on a forum post, and not to a common BTC address. Please send an email to the email address that was submitted for claims, with an individual BTC return address for each account, so that I can prove that I returned the excess coins. Statements of how much BTC and assets I actually held at GLBSE would be nice too.

I can think of all kinds of nefarious uses (no pun intended) of the ability to buy/sell on many other people's accounts. I'm just worried about your blatant endorsement of a third-party app on the front page without any kind of review. I assume you do not want to be held liable for anything that might happen if the app happens to go rogue some day. You should probably put in at least a disclaimer about this.

(Unless LWCoder works for GLBSE, in which case I'm just spewing garbage here and I'll shut up about it).

That's great. But is this an official endorsement of the app by GLBSE? Does it mean that the source code of the app has been audited and that it won't try to do anything funny with my API key?

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, just want to know what the level of endorsement of this app is by GLBSE.

Account registered just 8 hours ago, just 7 posts in and is already betting 299 BTC on vescudero paying out. Clearly a shill.

Well, at least he gives the non-believers a way to put their money where their mouth is.

The latest bitcoin patch I see on git is bitcoin-0.6.3 diff. Are you trying to apply bitcoin-0.6.2.diff to bitcoin 0.6.3?

GLBSE and MPEx. That would be far more useful to me than MtGox.

MPEx is especially painful because of the manual approval process for deposits. Unfortunately their API doesn't seem to have account-to-account BTC transfers either.

Received, thanks! The newsletter was great too - I'd invest in this fund just to get access to that.

Seems like Goat's lawyer's solution is reasonable. As far as pirate is concerned, his liability should be only to Goat, not to some random bondholders, as there were no sub-accounts created with BTCST either as far as I understand.

Seems like it would be the only way out for him to avoid legal or other trouble at this stage. He has hinted at having a "legal team" from the time he originally announced the default.

What problems do you see with giving him the data? (i.e. assuming you can somehow get the data in the first place)

He's already said that he won't close trading:
