Server is being DDoSed so download links are broken again till it's over. Looks like DDoS is the new black.
Anyway you can add some of these files to a mirror? I'd love to get my hands on the latest linux .tar.bz2! |

I don't know about that, I think if we talked for a while, I think I could get him to work out a payback schedule, even if its just 1% a month of total debt, I think thats better than going through the courts.
But I agree about getting someone to NZ to have a chat with him.

Patrick owes me 250 BTC, but I'd rather settle with with him honestly rather than going through a lawyer, I'm already burnt from bitcoinica that way.
Has anyone been able to contact him by email?

bumping as well, I would be interested in a 7970 shipped to CA if I could get a reasonable price.

So, is this officially in default?
I don't get the Kraken newsletters, but it kinda sounds like it is.
yep, he paid back 50% of all outstanding debts and hasn't said a word (at least to me) since. |

Food is a pretty safe bet, especially staple foods. Good choice.
Did you take a look at the watering situation at that piece of land? Is there a natural flooding source available or will you have to rely on artificial irrigation?
Natural flooding. That is the only way I would go in this part of the world. Also there is not one piece of land that I have picked out. There is a rice farming area that I have in mind and will be going back there in 3 weeks to make a purchase. However I wanted to get some feedback on the asset idea to see if there was some significant interest. If so I might get a larger area and might be able to get a higher percentage of the rice yield. Thank you. I have interest, however for something long term such as this, there is going to need to be a little bit more than the rinky dinky GLBSE "contract" format, an actual asset charter and the like would be imperative to deal with any and all legal implications that could arise. |

you may not want to hear this but there is QUITE a few mining contracts doing exactly the same thing you plan to be doing, I would take a long hard look at the competition with their own ASIC preorders from BFL before even thinking of continuing this with your own money, let alone anyone elses.

It seems that people here like to keep beating a dead horse. I keep hearing the same arguments over and over again. I will continue to send payments out as bitcoins come into my wallet. Not sure what people are trying to accomplish by continuing to call me a scammer. I have already received the scammer tag and most people on this forum would have quit paying by now. My intentions is try and return everyone's bitcoins as fast as I can.
+1, even if all these blowhards who think they own the forums say otherwise, you have my support hash. |

sure they are in default, my father defaulted on a real life line of credit and declared bankraupcy, does that make him a scammer? I never said that. I said those people where in default and /or scammers. The difference to creditors isnt that big though. Hashking put his trust in usagi for insurance, AFAIK Hashking put the guaranteed deposits in to a pirate account all by himself and has admitted to that. and usagi is a complete toolbox. Cant disagree with that, its probably just a matter of time before he ends up on that list too. and credit ratings are as valuable as the person giving them out, they have no legal basis and I could give patrick a rating of AAA for his stellar service I've had with him, however he has no legal credentials or responsibilty to the public as would be the case of a professional acting in a professional capacity. What is a credit rating? Its an assessment of someone ability to repay his debt. Its not an assessment of how much you like a guy or how well he served you. Its not even about their past track record. To be fair, its very difficult to assess credit risks in bitcoin land with anonymous people and virtually anonymous coins. Thats why one shouldnt go lightly about giving highest possible credit ratings to people you dont know anything about, doing a business they wont tell you anything about, and that more often than not a 10 year old could identify as almost certain scams. The worst part about it is that the scammers will abuse you and feed you false information that you can not verify or that they wont let you verify. If you can not do the most basic verification of things like identify, RL financial situation, business model, assets of the business etc, then dont bother giving ratings or give them all F's, otherwise all you do it attract and promote scams and you give a negative incentive to honest people or businesses to disclose such information. Why settle for C when you get AAA by just lying or not disclosing? I don't want to put words in patricks mouth but hes not around to defend his methods. He does credit checks the same way he decides if an investment is sound, by doing a full verification of all assets and financials, he doesn't release them because they are private (obviously), however even with a sound business model and flow diagrams you can get a string of bad investments (hashking comes to mind, or kluge) and go from far in the green to insolvent in a matter of hours. TL;DR for everyone reading: hashking didn't scam anyone out of their money, he just lied (intentionally or not) about his fund being guarenteed and his insured pirate fund, and now everyone is angry over the words he used, EVEN THOUGH obviously you shouldn't assume his words to be correct, because this is an anonymous internet forum. And even shorter,  |

First off, I asked first, and to someone else. Second, I've only had a positive relationship with hashking since I started working with him, hes been responsive and accomodating (to a certain extent) without any critical problems, and I'm a little upset on how smoothie (or whoever he is, I can't be assed to figure out who is an alt of who) is berating him. Hashking said he is being the bigger man and paying back his virtual debts that he has no contractual obligation in paying, and now you're getting angry at him for not following his non contractual obligation to the letter, its not only childish and somewhat rediculous, but its also making me personally not want to do business on these forums anymore, because if this is the kind of backlash I'd expect from a completely controlled and documented mishap, then theres no reason to be on here. PS: micron you still haven't added me to skype, I'm starting to feel like you don't like me  Technically, I would agree that he's not contractually obligated to pay anyone back, because I'm certain no one actually signed any documents. However, hashking used the term insured in the title of this very thread, which has an actual meaning and carries weight in financial terms. Generally, it means that an investment is safer, because a depositor's money is guaranteed to be returned. The FDIC does this with dollar deposits in a bank. If my bank were to suddenly fail, my money is safe and sound. If my bank is lying about being insured, or what they're investing in, or any kind of impropriety, the SEC would crush the bank's upper management, and clean out their personal finances in order to pay the bank's depositors. With hashking, the bank is claiming to be backed by the FDIC, but it turns out that 'insurance' is a pinky swear by the bank manager, and my 'insured' money will only be returned if the bank manager is in the mood for it and every spurned depositor promises to be extra special nice to him, and not call him out for being an enormous fraud. now I have to ask you, did you REALLY think he meant insured as insured by the FDIC? I don't think he actually knew what it meant, hence negligence. |

I'm still not sure why hashking is considered a scammer, Because he lied about his deposit guarantee. He claimed it wasnt exposed to pirate debt while it was in fact invested in a BCST account. Offering "only" 2% per week instead of 7% in return for being "pirate-safe" while in reality investing that money in to pirate at 7% is a scam. hes paying people back as best he can, Are you saying he isnt in default? BTW, he is speaking of 3+ years and is paying from his mining revenue. How much do you think he will make from his mining farm in just 1 year? pirate doesn't even have a scammer tag right now He does. and kluge is also looking to find a way to pay everyone back Are you saying he isnt in default? , I don't know about the others but he gave them a credit report, Look m up. Mind you, those where just his top rated debtors. Makes you wonder about the others, no? that isn't a vouch in the slightest, hes stated this a few times. it is a vouch. Those rating have meaning. As he linked himself: AAA Extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitments. Highest Rating. AA Very strong capacity to meet financial commitments. A Strong capacity to meet financial commitments, but somewhat susceptible to adverse economic conditions and changes in circumstances. Ziggy also prominently featured his AAA rating in his thread title, giving more false credibility to his scam. If those ratings are meaningless to assess risks, then dont publish them. sure they are in default, my father defaulted on a real life line of credit and declared bankraupcy, does that make him a scammer? Hashking put his trust in usagi for insurance, and usagi is a complete toolbox. Hashking is negligent, not a scammer, if we want to play the scammer=negligence, then everyone at intersango deserves a scammer tag as well. and credit ratings are as valuable as the person giving them out, they have no legal basis and I could give patrick a rating of AAA for his stellar service I've had with him, however he has no legal credentials or responsibilty to the public as would be the case of a professional acting in a professional capacity. Its one guy on the forums giving credit ratings to people based off his intuition, theres nothing wrong with that, but I would hope you aren't stupid enough to take them are complete truths. |

I wouldn't sell any of my personal assets to cover any bitcoin losses. This is a business, it has failed. When businesses fail they shut down and usually nobody gets anything. I will continue to make payments from my bitcoin production and buy coins whenever I can. If people continue at act they way they are acting I will just walk away.
Aww boo hoo. You don't want to own up to your commitments to your customers. What a scumbag. It was so easy to take the money but now that you lost it "oh well i'll just walk away". Your account name should be HashDragQueen. why are you here? what are you trying to do? and you? what's your plans? First off, I asked first, and to someone else.

This should scare you if you still have coins tied up in this scam.
Translation: "I'm trying to scare everyone, I get a buzz out of it." The facts should be enough to scare you. How many of debtors Patrick in the past vouched for and/or lent to and/or invested in have recently been outed as scammers, insolvent or both? hasking Nckrazze Ineedausername imsaguy kluge (?) pirate Soon to be followed by: ziggystar (already in default, website went poof) RustyRyan Obsi Even if patrick is not a scammer himself, it seems highly unlikely starfish would be solvent if almost all of his A/AA/AAA rated customers and deposit takers are in default. I'm still not sure why hashking is considered a scammer, hes paying people back as best he can, pirate doesn't even have a scammer tag right now, and kluge is also looking to find a way to pay everyone back, I don't know about the others but he gave them a credit report, that isn't a vouch in the slightest, hes stated this a few times. TL;DR: you're trying to scare people because you get a kick out of it. |

Since close to 5k of the funds are directly in pirate, how will this effect the profits if Pirate will not pay back?
That is incorrect. In any event, there are steps to recover funds from BS&T. The market is only valuing BS&T debt at ~3% of face value, so Kraken is essentially carrying a large amount of unrealized losses. Patrick guarantees Kraken investors face value. +1, patrick will take the hit himself if pirate takes us all to the cleaners. Wait, you actually think there is still a possibility pirate will pay back? AFAIK Pirate has taken his investors to the cleaners and they have insignificant amounts of chance of getting it back. no, I think that pirate is more easily sued than bitcoinica, however anything beyond that I don't care, its no major loss for me. |
