I used him to get most of the extra information about Sam. I haven't spoken to him about actually pursuing collection against him. Doesn't hurt to ask I suppose  Yep, no hurt in trying. I'm still disappointed that he wouldn't try Trendon, though... If all fails, hiring a Illinois guy to talk to him would be the next way now. |

Time to register SAM THEOFANOPOULOS .com now. Is confronting him physically and having a chat a viable alternative?

Ahem. General bumping guideline: No more than one bump per day per topic, and no more than ~1.25 bumps per day across all of a user's topics on average. "Bumps" are mostly or entirely useless replies, not replies that actually contain useful info.

ZOMG SHOOP! I agree with what your saying, there is a skill in picking out the non-scammers. the total I have been scammed for is <0.5BTC (those loans were mainly "for the lulz"). I had around 80BTC invested in the site at one point. The only thing I don't like about BTCJam is the lack of comeback against scammers as they will not release the docs, which is why I've decided to stop using it. Thank goodness I haven't started investing yet. |

The market rates can be roughly estimated here: https://btcjam.com/ and in the Lending subforum. The rates vary depending on the risks involved and the period of repayment. |

i'm looking for a personal 4 BTC loan and i'll repay 4.2 BTC after 14 days. i've done some trades here and have a spotless history I calculate as follows: ((4.2/4.0) ^ (1/14) ^ 365 = 3.56809, or 256.8 % annual interest. Small loans go for this kind of rates, unfortunately. It's too much of a hassle if the return is any lower. |

MHz or Mhash?
MHs, should be obvious. Well, I was asking because 420 MHz with a 7870 would roughly net 0.02+- per day. If it's 420 MHs, OP, you need a better pool like OZCoin/MT.Red, and PPS. |

Ben, you probably need to start hiring PR/admins.  There's also a backlog of pull requests at GitHub. |

Heeey, you're ignore icon is turning darker.
Actually, it turned lighter today, albeit the last few days I did see 9 more ignores and had no idea where they came from, for I posted nothing ill. Pretty sure it had something to do with theymos fixing the site. Poor guy is so distraught since his girlfriend left him for Yankee.  For each mention of his girlfriend, theymos adds an ignore to you. |

I guess they didn't fail as they've managed to sell their stock so fast...

THIS PERSON OWES ME 2 BTC.
He is a scammer who ran after he lost his bet.
DO NOT TRADE WITH THIS PERSON.
I did not rate him because I don't like his personality, I rated him because he is a SCAMMER.
I lol'ed at this. I've seen such OTC/bitcoin/bitcointalk bashing threads before and all ended up with the OP as a failed scammer and simply butthurt. |

Is Kaplan good?  Well, I've used Kaplan SAT books and they're not that up to par with others. Could be different for the GRE, though... |

Meh. It just means that Litecoin isn't significant enough to be taken seriously yet. That's not something proud or good for Litecoin.
See my point above to D&T. Litecoin being segregated in the mining business from bitcoin is healthy. ASIC's are an unstoppable part of any cryptographic 'coin' as it gets more accepted and widespread. It would seem that at the moment Litecoin is 'safe' from ASIC's and can only be mined by GPU's, but an ASIC is sure to come if Litecoin gains fame and widespread acceptance like Bitcoin does. |

Why don't you just ask a loan in USD instead of BTC? With BTC, you get a free short, with USD, the value of the currency is relatively stable compared to BTC.
He wants a loan pegged to USD, not BTC. Isn't that what I said? Assume he gets 400 BTC now with the value of 20 USD each coin. Basically, I think he means.. if BTC shoots up to the moon, at 30 USD/BTC he will only have to pay back the investor 320 BTC. If BTC goes down to hell, at 5 dollars a coin, then that means he will pay back 1792 BTC. Lending 8 grand is already such a risky proposition in the first place, why put the investor in a position where the only way he can profit is if BTC stays the same price, or actually goes down. Surprisingly, there's this guy who wanted to lend him 1200 coins on his last thread which nearly broke my red truth. Investors can lend out their USD balance so fluctuations wouldn't affect the investors at all - the BTC is merely used as a method of transfer for the USD, and the balance is quickly converted to USD after the repayment/loaning happens. The investor takes profit in USD, not BTC. He's basically asking for a loan in USD. PS: OP, please answer my questions above. I have a balance in USD that I plan to either hold or invest, so I could be lending -depending- on the risks involved. I'm not touching with my BTC position, though, as I'm keeping both separate. |

Ask in the bitinstant thread above. Don't worry, I see like 2-3 reports on Bitinstant everyday, and to their credit they've managed to resolve every one of them.

If you do a traceroute on mtred.com and pa.mtred.com you can see they're actually hosted by different providers. Clearly the provider for mtred.com has chronic problems.  Yeah, I was mining on mtred.com:8837 due to the lower stales and rejects. Turns out that pa.mtred.com has stratum support now, which is awesome! |
