+1. We are just 82 or 83, and FPGAs will go in the dustbin of history when ASICs come out any time from now. I propose that the receivers pay for delivery though.

I am, but I see that as a second rate choice in terms of chances, efficiency, and speed of a resolution -especially in BTC matters.

Moreover, as you see there is always some genius who assumes that recurring to the violent arm of the law is something that you get from the state "for free" (!). Sorry, but nobody ever asked me if I liked to live under a monopoly of violence by someone else, so if that system gives me something, it does not pay even a fraction of my freedom, and anyway I already paid 1000 times for whatever I get from it by direct and indirect taxes.  

Divided by zero

No. I personally am strongly in favor of sorting out matters privately.
So in my perspective we should try to find an effective way for that.

I suggest a different approach if you see him again: just point him and scream like in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". If an high enough number of us will do it, it may be enough to persuade him to clear his mess now.



Any other ostracism suggestion?

Secondo me l'idea del GLBSE era grandiosa e il sito fantastico seppure un po' lento e scarsino di informazioni e soprattutto garanzie sui prodotti quotati.
Il fatto che Nefario dopo aver garantito fino all'ultimo momento di non temere il braccio violento della legge "perche'... Bitcoin!" sia andato in paranoia e abbia chiuso non vuol dire per niente che la cosa fatta un po' piu' seriamente e con + solide basi legali non possa funzionare alla grande.

Appunto io citavo il GLBSE: trattava solo "societa"' e "obbligazioni" in BTC. Non toccava denaro ne' in entrata ne' in uscita. Certo pure parlare di "debiti", "crediti", "interesse", "societa'", "obbligazioni", ecc. seppure in BTC puo' essere un rischio, quindi conviene fare molta attenzione al linguaggio e magari presentare ufficialmente la cosa come una sorta di gioco virtuale tipo Monopoli (come in effetti si e' rivelato essere il gran parte di quanto era quotato sul GLBSE. Purtroppo truccato come molti altri giochi/schemi ponzi in BTC).

Problem is that brother B is the only one with your receipt. Without his cooperation you can't prove nada.

So if you get brother A, but brother B is gone with the money, what do you do?

The only time I bought BTC it was at 20 USD, and then they crashed to 2 USD. Pray that I don't buy again.

Forse molte delle licenze che citi servirebbero solo nel caso che legalmente i Bitcoin abbiano uno status di monete o almeno assets economici.
Definendo alternativamente i Bitcoin ("chiavi crittografiche"?) forse almeno alcune si potrebbero bypassare.
E cmq pure 100K non sono fuori dalla portata di un gruppo che ci crede.

I don't get why keeping hostage users' assets is related to "his" money. Supposing that he's going to ask for a ransom?

"what history boils down to is that when the value of the currencies kept going down and down because the governments acted like they always do, the people who owned gold and silver (and got the hell out of town with it) did very well."

Just sent my Bitcoinmax account screenshot too.
Please keep us updated on your progresses

The feds... in UK? If he were under "supervision" I don't see why "they" allowed him to send out partial repayments to supposed a-narco-terrorists and tax evaders -unless the mess he made of it was part of "their" evil plan (to achieve what? Panic? Lulz? FUD?).
You have to elaborate your conspiracy theory.

talk is cheap.
Time to walk the walk.

God save us from legal tender, state control, and taxes.
BTW: I would not call "modern" the theory that the state can print money. There are lots of historical examples. None of them ended well as far I know, even if in the short them someone made miracles printing state money. Hitler for example.

I expect that when the current debt-based fiat money system collapses (soon), MMTers and other neokeynesian lunatics will have their heyday and will go mainstream. I am sending them my best wishes until they do not try to touch BTC, gold and silver, and free mobility of capital.

Sing like a bird. 

At this point I vote for going down together.
