21  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] G.MPOE Pass Through on: June 24, 2013, 09:47:46 PM

I'm not calling you a scammer, but standing up to them is not good either. There are plenty of threads about MPOE and their other businesses in Scam Accusations thread, including this one:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=216280.0

Raising awareness towards shady business is something everyone should be doing - and it's what I'm doing here now.

And don't tell me to leave, this is not a moderated thread and everyone is allowed to write in it. I do think that my business here is done however.

From that thread: "MPEX - Despite the fact that the security never actually stole or scammed members the owner Mircea Popescu is a disgusting person that uses the term "nigger" on his blog while also constantly putting people down and generally being a complete snob. Lied multiple times about being the owner of a successful company, if it wasn't for Satoshidice releasing stock in MPEX this person would be selling potatoes somewhere in Romania."

So ... MPEX is a scam because you don't like the guy running it? That is some dumb reasoning there.

I would recommend you to do some research. It is not by coincidence that people related to MPOE/BitBet.us etc have an yellow IGNORE button on them. They treat their customers and shareholders like shit. You could also read the owners blog if you want more convincing.

Anyway, I will stop posting on this thread. Please feel free to join the other thread if you want.

What some people here do not realize (and yes I mean you) is that by standing up for scammers you end up just as fucked as they are. Find a better hobby.

Strong words coming from a scammer who just hasn't pulled the plug yet.

What is Bitcoin?
Conceptually, Bitcoin is two things at once. First, it is a digital currency, meaning that the unit of account it employs has no physical counterpart with legal tender status. Second, Bitcoin is what Friedrich A. Hayek described as a “private currency”: a currency provided by private enterprise aimed at combatting government monopolies on the supply of money.

V. HOW TO COUNTER THE BITCOIN THREAT VIA THE IMF
Finding a way to regulate Bitcoin is critical in light of its potential destabilizing effects on the foreign currency exchange. Although there might be a number of ways to mitigate Bitcoin’s impact via domestic legislation, those solutions are beyond the scope of this Comment. Instead, I discuss ways in which the IMF can be used to counter the threat posed by Bitcoin.

The IMF is particularly well-situated to solve this problem for two reasons. First, the IMF is an institution specifically designed to help stabilize the global economic system via the foreign currency exchange, as explained in Section III. Second, regulating Bitcoin falls squarely within the IMF’s goals, as outlined by Article 1 of the Articles of Agreement.147 In both of these respects, the IMF is able to coordinate a global response to the threat posed by Bitcoin in a way no other institution can.

There are, however, challenges that must be overcome. The most obvious obstacle to regulating the impact of Bitcoins on the foreign currency exchange via the IMF is one of enforcement. Article VII of the Articles of Agreement allows the IMF to replenish its holding of a member’s nation currency.148 It also allows the IMF to restrict the flow of a currency it deems to be scarce and to apportion its allocation accordingly.149 Both are vital tools for countering a speculative attack. The first allows the IMF to overcome any currency shortages, ensuring that it has a sufficient amount of currency to lend in an effort to offset a speculative attack. The second gives the IMF the flexibility it needs to respond in the event of an emergency shortage, and allows the member nation whose currency is in short supply to limit the domestic exchange of its scarce currency.

BTC The first option is to grant the IMF indirect control over Bitcoin by expanding the interpretation of an already existing provision of the IMF. This approach requires the least amount of change and leaves the overall IMF framework mostly intact. The second option is to grant the IMF more direct control over Bitcoin by granting it and other digital currencies quasi-membership status. This more radical approach would require and amendment of the Articles of Agreement and would fundamentally alter the existing framework’s conception of a non-state actor’s role in the IMF.

So either fight it or join it.. I Wonder what they'll end up doing.

There's lots of more details in the paper

Strike Sapphire - Bad attempt at hedging against USD, they make a profit on their own rates. Owner is rude, no provable fairness. - Owner has contacted me, explained the situation and seemed to be respectful and honest, upon further reviewing StrikeSapphire I no longer list it as small chance of being a scam
 the situation, the results are apparently streamed live now regardless of the feed.

I also want to add that I have never had problems with StrikeSapphire and the admin seems like a good guy. He also blogs (at least used to) about building the casino website and has really put a lot of effort into it.

All I can say is that I never had trouble dealing with doublec and was surprised by the prompt responses to help requests.

Having said that, I hope he's ok and will help you guys out shortly.

Order sent in, and the confirmation mail forwarded to Bizwoo and nekonos.

Order #10605 made on June 8, 2013. Order status: processing.

Thank you! Countdown to ~10 weeks has begun, woot.
34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which countries have the friendliest bitcoin regulatory environment? on: June 08, 2013, 10:36:49 PM
Finland, followed by Canada. In Finland some companies are already paying out salaries in Bitcoin and some minister/whatnot said that they have no problem with it. In Canada, Bitcoin does not fall under the strict MSB ruling and is considered a commodity like Gold and Silver.

One thing is for sure: he has no respect for his customers.

What is the shipping queue of miners? It's the same as buying chips?

~2 weeks for the batch to be ready is what I understood so far, so no queue. With the lead-in time of the chips, I'm looking at about ~10 weeks in total after the order has been made.

your email, how do you think I found you?

Send me your wallet.dat file or ask me for my address so you can send them to.

Sorry Brian Ore, but I just lost my last hot wallet thanks to a bad sudo dd if= command on a Full-Disk encryption harddrive. The rest is scattered among friends and safes in paperwallets.

I'll see about reporting you to authorities tomorrow morning.
