Could you make an accurate list of things and their cost (and your profit if there is any) that constitute of the 3 BTC?
No, of course not. What a ridiculous request. I wouldn't be asking for an NDA if that were the case. I'm really not sure what motivates so many people from the EU to insist upon casting aspersions upon this project and demanding a minute accounting of 30 BTC. Are you considering spending 1500 EUR to fly here and attend the Boot Camp, and that's the reason you are concerned about 3 BTC? Or are you just trolling? Where did you say what the NDA is to cover? What's wrong in people knowing that, say, x meals for x days makes up for 20% of the total cost, etc. If you haven't noticed yet, giving more info would give you more credibility; just wanted to be helpful. BTW. I found a flight for 1079 EUR from Berlin after a 3 min. search, definitely not considering it now, have fun. |

Although I find most alt-coins useless, annoying and uninteresting pump & dump schemes I still believe a mutually advantageous outcome can be had. Why not just charge them, say, a quarterly fee of 5-10 BTC for a sub-board or subforum? If 100 users of an alt-coin would chip in, that would only be 0.05-0.1 BTC per person. If an alt-coin is big enough they will find a way to raise the funds, if it isn't, then there's no reason why they should have their place on this forum. They could elect a Moderator among themselves and maybe Theymos* would just write in the board description that people entering that board do so at their own risk, Bitcointalk Moderators wouldn't have to bother nannying them. *if you're reading this, what do you think? The forum would raise some more money  |

Nah, Indian service desk staff usually have better English.
I say China (or Poland).
Poland is not that popular for outsourcing. When I try to read smoothie's post for some reason I hear myself speaking in an Indian accent  |

Many people trust me with more money than most people my age can fathom. That's not in the least of my concerns. It truly saddens me that you think me bidding up those auctions deserves a lifetime of flipping burgers.
Quite honestly, it is quite impressive what you've been able to do for your age - but that's a double sided sword. You'be built up a pretty solid operation, but it's also shocking that someone your age would have already developed the self-serving business practices that you've shown. It's not just about bidding up those auctions. You've displayed a hypocritical attitude the whole time you were dealing with BFL, and you've outright lied and misled this entire forum by denying your actions and insinuating that Josh had your hands tied. The coverup is much worse than the actual offense (from my POV, but it's not my coins that you scammed). You came out and admitted your mistakes (congratulations) but you've had plenty of opportunities so far to do so (how about during your first "appology"?). Would anyone here hire you to flip burgers if that meant you would even have a line of sight to the cash register? "I only emptied the tip jar to supplement the dividends I need to pay to Cognitive!!!" On the bright side, you've probably impressed BFL quite a bit - maybe you could hit them up for a summer internship? I must agree with most of your post... I don't think I will ever place any bids on Garr's auctions from now on, wouldn't be surprised if he prepared better for the next time (e.g. separate device with a separate Internet connection so it would be difficult to link the two accounts, etc.). He did come and admitted to his wrongdoings and wants to make it up for the people that overpaid by bidding in his auctions and that is a good thing. But he still should have done it the first time and he shouldn't have tried to cover it up. I think he can still be trusted but to a lesser extent than in the past. The other side of a transaction should be a bit more careful in situations where the outcome of a transaction would heavily rely on trusting Garr and very careful with participating in his auctions. @Garr There is nothing wrong with greed but there is a hell of a lot of wrong in being dishonest. |

No offense to BFL or you but people have been complaining about BFL advertising on the forum. Nothing was solved as far as I know.
Because, as dishonest and/or unprofessional they may appear to be - they haven't really scammed anyone, AFAIK anyone who requests a refund is refunded. But this is more serious and I believe Theymos will look into it. |

I thinking to buy Ninja 650R 2013, any thoughts..
Yeah: drive carefully, that thing is a monster! It's a two cylinder engine, 70 horsepower and 200kg wet weight. That would be even OK for a first bike. |

The mods do not need to remote control someone's computer or look at ELA of screenshots, theymos needs to just simply look for the deleted post.
Seriously, please investigate, there should be consequences for shill bidding or faking screenshots.
I thought Garr255 was a trusted member, after all he holds 250 BTC of the forum money... I hope the Werner account was never used by him (best to check past posts' IP/IP ranges and headers of both accounts (assuming he forgot to use a VPN at least once) if deleted posts do not provide enough information). As for the victims coming forward - have they been notified of this thread / do they browse all sections often enough to stumble on one of the threads where posts with accusations against Garr255 are located? |

I agree with you that technology would help much of the world's needless laws become life policies instead, such as a car that only starts with a breathalyzer, No problem, as long as you are the one that covers the extra cost of the breathalyzer and it's my company that gets appropriate government certification/licensing/ whatever-crap-they-come-up-with-to-regulate-it and becomes a breathalyzer monopoly. but then you'd have idiots on the other side of the spectrum barking about their rights to drive drunk. The owner of the road should be the only entity to decide whether drunk drivers should be allowed to use it. |

In Poland we have cameras like in Germany but fortunately not as many and the tickets are not as expensive.
Germany is actually rather cheap. Germany: 30km/h too fast: 80€ Here in Switzerland, 30km/h too fast: 800sfr = 650€  That's tough. Poland 30km/h over the limit: between 22.5 and 45€ |

Back in California, I would spend weekends drifting in the mountains, flying to LA on the highway or seeing how fast we could get to Vegas and it all finally caught up with me with 2 out of the 3 allowed tickets. Both times were with passenger(s). I stopped driving for a while after that to avoid license suspension and ended up coming to Korea. You are only allowed 3 tickets? That sucks... In Poland we have cameras like in Germany but fortunately not as many and the tickets are not as expensive. And it won't be able to get a clear picture if someone drives >250 km/h  (but there aren't many roads where attaining such speed is possible). |

Don't this incentive spamming?
No, it would take a long time to reach a high activity score with a new account, I hope people will be spending less time adding posts with no value to the discussion now that they see they can't become Hero members in a week. |

Will the activity formula ever be released?
I hope Theymos only gives some hints but without releasing the exact formula. -> Forum Posts. I work on doing some forum posts in my spare time. I will have $250 in my forum posts or more probably earned by then.
First of all, the selling of accounts is allowed by ToS
I buy forum accounts here and also give out loans using forum accounts as collateral. I have been thinking that may be there is a market for people here on the forums who might want to purchase alt accounts/sockpuppets.

Theymos is our beloved "Overlord". lulz. hes 1 of 2 administrators of the forum, and as far as i can tell the other one isn't very active. Stefan Thomas is a backup admin when Theymos is away. |

A lot of people are directing their complaint/requests, etc. at Theymos. Does he own the forum? Also, I saw that Tysat had the title of staff, is he an employee? Curious about the goings-on in the forums. Who owns it?
Depends on your definition of ownership. Different resources are controlled by different people. Private Internet Access has ultimate control of the server. Sirius owns the domain. A lot of the money is managed in accordance with the Treasury Agreements, which defines a somewhat more complex organizational structure, though these agreements don't rule the entire forum. I coordinate it all, but I have no ultimate, binding authority over anything except the bitcoins that I hold (and I'd like to reduce this). No one person can permanently shut down the forum. As for the 'Staff' rank, all Moderators' posts (except Global Moderators' posts) have this rank when they post outside the sections they moderate in. |
