This is exactly what I've been plotting: an internet "marketing" agency offering psy-ops swarming, disinfo campaigns, purposeful trolling, social media spamming, e-communities disruption, slander and character destruction etc. for hire.
I've got the name ready: "Internet Trolls Wars". I am sure that there is a huge and largely untapped global market for it (apart from the Hasbarabots who are much ahead in this biz). Anyone interested in partnering? The biggest need is a software platform to check the trolling performance by associates and manage the payments per performance.

Are you implying that it could theoretically go worse? How? Coinciding with TEOTWAWKI?

Indeed. At that rate they were going to be worthless anyway in a couple of months

or did he receive too many goatsee?

Actually for some asset issuers this may be a lucky strike: they got money and probably will not have to pay back nuthin.
So much luck that someone rightly suspects that some of them may be co-conspirators.

Anyway, wake me up when some crook pays up (in one way or the other).

Re: GLBSE is offline We will update our users on Saturday.

I don't care any more about all my assets in GLBSE. All I care from now on is who, how and when will be able to get Nefario(us) convicted.
Maybe this subject is worth of another thread.

I propose this as the forum's official description

Finally we found what Bitcoins are backed by.
I propose a contest for old timers on how many scams they fell into. The winner may win a special forum tag. I am now at 2 points: a PPT and GLBSE.

The most of losses will be from the devaluation of the shares to about zero (I wonder how they will be traded if at all). And Nefario probably cannot refund nowhere near the whole GLBSE capitalization.

At this point, it would be more far more economical to find someone worth of a "honest dude" tag around here.


That's reassuring. Insider trading is the minimum that can happen then (if they can read, they could even write).

I kinda would like that very much. For a long time.

+1. And even if they did not conspire in advance, I expect that several issuers will find lots of problems retrieving info about their shareholders or to pay them anyway.   

BTW: and as expected, now we are starting to see the impact of this screwup on BTC/USD. Any guess on where it will bottom?

Will the FPGAs winned in this contest be swappable for ASICs when the time will come?

BTW: Wonder why if I try to open the link I get:
This Account Has Been Suspended

I'm still in.

I tried it, works nicely and it is a great concept. Its only problem is like the blockchain: you have to download a local copy of a forum from the peers, and that is a slow task the first time or if you do it after a while.

I think it's a good idea. This forum is a target too easy for whomever may decide to do a crackdown on coiners (which I expect soon or later).
Regarding noobs, if they learned to open a browser, they can even learn to launch Tor Browser. It is time they do.
A major drawback is that the .onion network is slow as hell, and there is little hope that it can improve much.

LOL.
It would be much more economic a "proven legit" section.
edit: but maybe GLBSE would have been accepted even there.

Yes, at this point I would expect that this forum can be banned from the face of internet for suspects of financing al-CIAda, money laundering and whatnot.
If we were smart, we would already planning how to go underground like the stoners did.

I don't mind at all what they do with their GLBSE profits. But I think that is a right of the users to know now WTF are they going to do with their service. Do we have to wait that they get some permission from some state? (then we can fugged about it).  Are they going to sell the whole thing to someone else? Are they going underground on the .onion? What are the fucking procedures to deal directly with the asset issuers to recover the ownership of the shares?
