I think I was misunderstood, I'm not interested in the specifics of what it would take to crash the price, it was mainly an intro for my question about the reward system being flawed/broken.

Don't sell bitcoins if your only intention is to speculate on bitcoin exchange rate! Risk is too high for the next couple of years. In addition to that, if you're true bitcoin supporter, this will damage your positive attitude and your desire and ability to develop bitcoin related applications. Please don't sell, unless you know exactly what you do!

Ok, I think I see where you're coming from.  You believe in the "doughnut" shaped market and that we'll eventually go up from $30 and wrap all the way around back to zero.

But as everyone else knows, a Proudhun posting is the clearest sign that we're still in rally mode.

Hmm, Servers are near perfectly sunk up to NTP sources. Other sites may have a greater tolerance range.
It works fine for me at the moment and I had 3 others check as well.
I will keep trying though.

I think bitcoin will do what it usually does - take anyone saying "never" and make them look like a fool

This looks like it's close to critical mass:



Once we get to 1 million users, Bitcoin could start growing exponentially... like Facebook or Google back in the day.

When someone implements an improvement. I plan to have a look at this myself soon, but no promises.


It still needs a lot of testing, and several things are missing before we can have a new stable release.

So everyone waited 2+ months to get this list, and now that you have it - you are going to give people 7 days to reconcile?  While I understand your wish to close this thing down as quickly as possible; I think you might want to reconsider. From an outside perspective it looks like a simple share/cash grab.  I know several other issuers are waiting 60 days before doing anything like this.

I only point this out because I 'checked out' of the whole GLBSE & Bitcoin forums after about 3 weeks of watching the sh*tstorm.  I loaded up my coind client just 3 or 4 days ago to discover I had received an eighth of a coin, 2x from an address I didn't recognize.  After trying to get caught up on the forums, GLBSE blog posts, etc, I was just last night able to get in touch with GLBSE.  I sent back the double payment and am waiting to get added to the issuer list.

So if I had been travelling this week, or if I had not decided to upgrade my PC (and thus necessitating the blockchain synch and wallet backup prior to the upgrade), I would not have found out about this at all. Other people may have similar circumstances, or circumstances that end in a similar result.

Certainly one can argue that's my tough luck, I should have been following my investments, blah blah, and that's all fine and dandy, but what's the harm in waiting another 30-45 days before pulling in other people's shares?

If you're syncing from the network even if your own connection is fast you're subject to luck of the draw on which peers you pull from. This is one reason Pieter was suggesting loadblock runs above.

Had 16 different shares or bonds, 4 of the issuers already answered (not gigamining at this time). So Nefario forwarded the asset information.

But I never got parts of my cash, about 130 BTC. Nefario did not answer on my email.
