Yeah I think we can all see them in our wallets, and by reporting them you're bumping this thread, which makes us - well me at least - think there may be more significant news.
403  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: You cant blame pirate if you shut down after. on: October 09, 2012, 01:08:23 PM
If people are blaming pirate for their "bank" shutting down why did they continue to pay interest after he defaulted ?

Why are they only closing now and stating their money was in pirate when they have still been paying interest out?

Im going to go out on a limb here and say they have been paying out of new deposits from people who withdrew from pirate to find "safer" funds.

Blaming pirate for your shutdown only makes sense if you shutdown when he did not weeks later. If people sent deposits after pirate defaulted the odds are that it was used to pay out old depositors the interest due at least untill it all collapsed with the latest liquidity crunch.




Although I agree there may well be some opportunistic defaults going on, the mess created by pirate's closing will have had a trickle down effect that takes time to play out.

For example what if lender A is exposed to pirate, has loan repayments coming in, and enough in reserve to pay obligations for a month. He's going to keep paying interest while he can because he doesn't want to default and maybe he's of the opinion that pirate will still pay out, so he doesn't announce problems until his reserves are nearly wiped out.

Lender B on the other hand had no exposure to pirate, but he had a big deposit with lender A. So he wouldn't even know he was affected until lender A announced his problems, and tries to manage things until another week later when he realises his reserves aren't being topped up by loan repayment C anymore, who HAS decided to use pirate as a convenient excuse to stop paying out.

Once you add in lenders D, E, F, and loan repayers G, H, I, J, K etc. some of whom may well be scamming and saying they were exposed to pirate etc. then it becomes obvious it's not just a case of 'Pirate stopped paying today so I do too.'

I hereby apologize to Patrick and the community for this drunken post.  I can understand if some people lose respect for me because of this.

Even if I think Patrick is a scammer or inept, I should not type such angry words just to be mean.  I take full responsibility for my actions.  Gonna tighten up my game.

I'm raising my hand on this one and fully admitting I was wrong.  

Sorry community and to Patrick directly.


*Applause*

Well done fellow, you just went up in my estimation. I appreciate you have only been trying to help people stop getting scammed but the way you were doing it was just too much to handle, especially with all the goons and trolls circling around this place trying to whip everyone up for their amusement.

Sorry Dank, I forgot there was an actual human being behind your posts. Sad

Funny how BTC dropped down to $11, right before I needed to buy lots of BTC.  Couldn't be karma though, nah...

Give me a heads up next time you're contemplating buying BTC dude. I'd be the boss of the speculation forum with this kind of inside info.

It's a bank holiday in the US today right? So nothing too surprising here considering the GLBSE news, the indicator will be late tomorrow/Wednesday, which way will it go then.......

Karma has made it happen so far.  So if it's anything like the past, yes it will.

Don't answer questions with spirituality?  Why?  Spirituality is a very valid subject that you can't seem to debase.

Every idea ever started as a thought, it manifests into our reality, with time hard work and commitment.  You don't have to explain ideas out for them to come true.

FTFY.

It's a combination of GLBSE news and the weekend dip IMO, but will it trigger a sell-off?

At this rate, it will still take yrs to pay off though.

I thought he was paying from his mining revenue? If so, those years will become decades and centuries very soon.
Unless he's heavily committed to ASIC which would also explain his current lack of funds...

Well I was thinking it was going to be the Circlejerks, MDC, Dead Kennedys or the later uk/american bands like Heresy, Electro Hippies, Napalm death, one of those eras. Before moshpits when we had wrecking and it was more violent and less theatrical, (of course, as any old fogey tells the young 'uns).

I don't get it, it's trivial to turn signature display off in your profile.

Not all sigs are spammy, obnoxious, and annoying. Just the ones like yours.

Oh well, c'est la vie.

Conversation drifts and develops, this may not be the best thing to do, you may be discouraged from posting something interesting for fear of it deviating from the original article too much, although it may still be relevant in the context of the flow of discussion. In this case posting a new topic would risk losing momentum if they missed the new thread.

i miss my lynx browser
Me too, in fact I'm going to install it now, for old time's sake. Hell I'm going to get ircii as well just for giggles.

WOW! Lynx is actually still fully working, and installed without any trouble on a mac with xcode and macports. Thanks for the reminder, I will be using this a lot, it's lightning fast and better than adblocker for getting rid of annoying crap Smiley
