The joint, you must be one of the most insensitive people on these forums.  Your mom died? Too bad, should have thought of that possibility.  Lose an arm?  Not an excuse.


Oh, you lost your mother and your arm.  Now I get it.  You must've paid for the funeral services and the hospital bill by yourself, and had a close friend/relative bring your laptop to the hospital for you so that you can be the honorable person that you are and make sure that you informed us about this 'hard situation' even though you're finding it difficult to press the keys, grab some tissues to wipe your tears, and push the morphine button all with one hand.

Really, you're going to go to that level?  Now, if this was actually the case, clearly we wouldn't have been hearing from you all this time.  Actually, I'm very sensitive to those in need, particularly nckrazze who is in need of his loan being repaid.  Actually, I offer a therapy service on this forum for those in need with a 100% satisfaction guarantee (no payment necessary for any reason as stated by the client) that I take very, very seriously.  Now of course, if you actually did lose your mother or an arm in the past two weeks, I'd be extremely sympathetic to your situation.  But, toss in some common sense and add a few peripheral testimonies and evidence from other forum members and we start to see a clearer picture.

The name 'Yoko' on a Bitcoin forum is quite fitting for you...a la the annoying bitch that brings down the good vibes of every thriving band.  Ever seen Spinal Tap?
2604  Economy / Lending / Re: 60 BTC loan on: June 18, 2012, 07:30:17 AM

Dank, simple question:  Is the money you borrowed yours? 

No?  Then quit the fucking excuses.  This is real life.  Put down the bowl and grow up.  We're not your parents or close friends and accordingly we don't know your character.  Things didn't go as you planned?  BTC price raised unexpectedly?  Tough luck.  That's what happens.  Without nckrazze you wouldn't have even had the 60 BTC loaned to you to begin with. 

nckrazze was kind enough to take a chance and trust your character, which is a lot more than most people would do for a stranger in this world.  Just say, "I'm sorry, I fucked up, you were right" and then do everything you possibly can to get the money to him in the quickest way possible.  That is what a responsible person would do.  Are you responsible, dank?

If you got all defensive reading what I just wrote, perhaps therein lies the problem.
What excuses are you talking about?  I've never denied responsibility for this. I've said time and time again I'll pay it once my usd converts to BTC.  I'm only stating how nckrazze probably won't lookout for you if you're in a situation like mine and need some time.

Here's an example (bolded emphasis mine):

Quote
explained my situation to you, mtgox locked my money up, I lost the rest of my money in a hard situation.  Even though I recovered from that, I told you I needed time to get money back from mtgox. With the BTC price raise, it was impossible for me to pay the whole thing.  I deposited 40 more dollars, the last of my bank account in order to add funds to mtgox.  Now it will take longer as I need to submit another deposit. 
You'll get your money, but with the choice you're choosing it will take longer for us both.

Mt. Gox locked your money up?  You didn't consider this possibility in advance?

A "hard situation?"  Life's tough, get a helmet.

BTC price raise made paying impossible?  BTC has never been volatile in the past?

And then you defer your responsibility onto nckrazze by claiming his choices (as opposed to yours) are the root cause of subsequent delays?

Look dude, when you agree to a loan, you should make sure you have your bases covered.  In the thread where you are requesting a 1-10 mil loan (which is outright laughable), you claim that you 'manage your finances responsibly' or something to that effect.  You can't even 'manage' to pay back a 60 BTC loan in a timely manner, and when YOU, DANK, FAIL to honor your word, you blame your situation on commonplace events and act as though you're a victim of circumstance. 

No, you're a victim of your own financial incompetence.  Read what I said about getting defensive.

2609  Economy / Speculation / Re: Rally!!!!! on: June 17, 2012, 11:57:05 PM
When will you guys learn that there is absolutely no good, concrete reason to justify a price increase at this time?  Speculation is NOT a good reason.  
2610  Bitcoin / Hardware / [Archive] BFL trolling museum on: June 17, 2012, 06:40:59 AM
If it takes 2 weeks for the difficulty to adjust, could BFL mine all the remaining bitcoins before it adjusts?  Or perhaps a smaller number - like 1 million?

If it is possible, with a low marginal cost of production it might also be profitable.  (If it didn't kill confidence).
No, the difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks, regardless of whether it took 6 months or 6 minutes.

I anticipate that the time it takes to reach the 12.5 BTC block reward will be a few months less than the time it has taken to approach the 25 BTC block reward.  It's going to be hilarious to see the difficulty and frequency of block generation increase when those 1 T/hash models start reaching consumers.  We might even have have a few periods where it takes as little as 3 days to see a difficulty change.

One thing is for sure...whoever the lucky few are to receive the 1 T/hash model before the rest of the pack are going to have one hell of a good month.

If the first ASIC provider decides to mine for himself for a while, there will be very little benefit for the end user.

Even if the provider decides to double the total network hashing power all by himself (e.g. 30 T/hashes total in the network), a single person with 1 T/hash is still going to have a field day.  Even with 200 T/Hash in the network, 1 T/hash is enough to earn steady profit (approximately 10 blocks mined solo in a given difficulty period).  It will take a while for 200 1 T/hash machines to reach consumers, so those that get them first will likely have no problem getting their money back.

On the other hand, I would expect the price of BTC to plummet temporarily when these things start reaching consumers.  If I was the first to have a 1 T/hash model, every single mined coin would be sold ASAP.

Edit:  BTW at current difficulty and taking into account the reward halving, you're still looking at $2000+/day with 1 T/hash.

I don't really think in terms of the dollar with Bitcoin. I see Bitcoin being traded at possibly 100-1000 times more than today in the next few years (5-10), so I'm extremely hesitant to sell now.

If everyone had that mentality, one of two scenarios would happen:  1)  There wouldn't be a 100-1000 fold increase in value, or 2) you would witness the largest bubble and largest subsequent collapse that any market has seen in the history of mankind.

Has anyone purchased Gold online using Bitcoins, if so what was your experience and what service did you use - how quick and efficient was the shipping?


Thanks

David

I've been using Coinabul.  Got a shipment today.  Shipping usually takes a while (as much as 3 weeks or so), but the owner Jon has done a good job of responding to inquiries about the status of my orders.  I placed a 3rd order with him the other day and expect it to arrive in a couple weeks.

TBH I can't think of a good reason to lock a thread. If trolling becomes excessive, moderators will delete posts. Otherwise, it seems to me it's your duty as a business operator to answer any valid questions posed.

I haven't been following this particularly closely, though, all I've really seen is the name "Rugatu" spammed around the forum in various irrelevant threads. Rugatu/the_joint, can/will you provide an explanation for the thread-locking?

I have no affiliation with Rugatu.
