I don't know if it matters, has been mentioned yet or if he has been more often, but: kslaughter has been online today! Hm... maybe he forgot about those coins until it was mentioned here or someone he trusts told him. He might see a bit hope getting money to pay his problems with.

Now that looks like a lead. Interesting. Does they speak about bitcoin too or only about a technique already widely used by big ISPs? I mean that normal persons allow other persons of the same ISP using their WLAN. So that the customers can have net outside often enough too. Im not a native english speaker so i might have missed something. they are not talking about bitcoin in this video. but it makes sense to see that video in that context. [/quote How? I dont get it yet. Is there a business model that could be worth it for bitcoin? If you mean those stations being miners then i think that specialized miners still will have an advantage in price. So i dont see why this might be related.

By the way... can someone explain what lawsuits are going on? And whats happening at all with him?
What i found is that he was sued and had to pay $32,115.15 and disgorge all profits from the business because he issued an unregistered security.
Is that all? Because when ActiveMining went down there was some buzz about WoodLaw. A lawyer company which should serve as a threat to ken it seems. But i didnt hear anything about that again.
So whats going on? Criminal investigation now? And later civil court cases to claim losses? Nothing like a shareholder group like with LCSH (The labcoin scammer) yet, right?
To be honest, i only now think about this, because of the gox coins. Maybe there really is still some more than that. I think its worth to check out. Either way or the other we could get something back or send ken to jail for lying.
I did not get an answer from Sheppard. I think ill call him tomorrow then.

Just shut the fck up already... god damn
From your first post of this thread, you already sounded too dumb to continue a conversation. I'm surprised others can be so patient with you.
It looks like you want to preserve your little bit of green on your main account. I warn you only once now. Stop the hate!

I'd guess that there are only a small proportion of early adopters who are
- still here and not totally disgusted with the state of the forums.
- actually made the money many think they did. The likelihood is that they sold early, lost the coins or were scammed to death.
- haven't gone mad because of the above.
Regardless of that they do have valuable perspective about how things were in the past.
Thats what i think/experience too. I know many who left because Bitcoin became uninteresting or they were disgusted by the fact that 99% of all projects go down by inept businessman or scammers. On the way only a handful managed to keep their wealth. Some kept their money because they started their own projects only, some simply had luck but most of them lost so much that they get to your point three. Anyway... necrita is right... Bitcoin is somewhat of a very fast school. You can learn so much in a very short time. And hopefully enough to be prepared for the future. So you make better decisions from then on. Handling everything better, knowing that holding your wealth is mostly a better investment than investing with the promise of 50-100% annual return. Because first you lose all your coins until you maybe get them back. Or that you really have to not have thinking blockades. You need to sell everything if it turns bad. Not holding and believing it will turn or holding it because it brought something first. You have to bring everything on the table. Thinking blockades are deadly. Bitcoin and its community really has the potential to bring you sky high and really down. Its fast... but i like it. Edit: necrita... what posts do you mean? Some examples?

Gibt es denn auf Tradewave einen vernünftigen Bot den man empfehlen kann ?
Es gibt eine große Auswahl an kostenlosen Bots. Ich denke der Bekannteste und kostenlose ist der Honeybadger. Den gibt es auch noch mal als Bezahlversion mit höherer Rendite. Schau aber erstmal wie er in der letzten Zeit abgeschnitten hat. Der Entwickler ist echter Profi und beschäftigt sich mit wirklich vielen Indikatoren usw. Einfach mal testen. So teuer ist es nicht einen Bot für einen Monat laufen zu lassen. Du kannst dich ja im Forum von tradewave einlesen.

Is it really so easy to manipulate markets without betting for it with leverage at the same time? For me it sounds risky assuming that a move in the market, that a whale initiates, will move on long enough to bring him a reasonable amount of profit.
The information and FUD politics are right for sure. But im wondering about the possibility to, not only move, a market but profit of it considerably. Maybe i have to think more carefully about how this could work.

I wanted to share with anyone starting on these forums that there is enough information here to make an average person rich.
I started out as a BTC newbie in 2013, when I started devouring the information presented in Bitcointalk. It led to my first large purchase and subsequently a better understanding of the worlds financial systems and how they affect me.
In the process of reading information on the forums, I've also been burned; buying at tops, selling too early, losing money on fly by night exchanges & alts. In my mind the benefits of all this is a way of not only educating myself but understanding my own psychology. Greed can sometimes make you do things that are irrational, no matter how astute or smart one may be.
I'm not going to name specific members who's posts I believe are "money", but as a starting point I'd start reading posts of active members registered in 2010 and 2011. There are certain thoughts shared by early adopters which brought them to this place, and those kind enough to share them could potentially bring us all a great deal of wealth.
So do you say you already made that fortune or do you think that will work? So far i think enough ventures of early adopters went wrong. There is no reason they should have some inside knowledge over all others. Except some of them might have not lost all of their wealth through scams.

So you bought those discounts on gyft, where you pay the exact face value, and you sell it for less now, shortly after.
Whats the story behind?
Besides that... try purse.io.

I dont hold cryptocurrencies other than bitcoins. If thats fine and no escrow found yet then im available.
This guy is giving alt coins as collateral. So perhaps you are not a suitable escrow for this. I have read that mentioned here in the thread but not in the other thread anymore. So yes, im backing out then.

I dont have time to investigate but Strike 1 doesnt mean that investors wont get anything back or cant sue him. The penalty was only for issuing an unregistered security, how it seems. So then investors could sue him because the funds are gone.
If im wrong can you tell me why that should not be possible?

Ken Slaughter, the inept/scamming businessman behind ActiveMining was 61 in 2014. So maybe he is 62 years old now. He is the oldest one i heard of yet. Too bad his lifespan didnt lead to the needed experience to deal with the project he drove on the wall.

do i have to create an trading account? and there it says at the top deposit not sell.
You were able to deposit coins without having created an account? Were you on the real exchange or did you use some link from an email or something. What you write sounds strange so maybe you fell for a phishing attack?

i think most people going through the expense and work to mine bitcoin are unlikely to sell it off ,
Would it not be be better to just buy what bitcoin you want from an exchange ??
takes long time to process I think you use a wrong exchange then. And you would have to pay the miner too. So i dont see where this long time should come from. Normal exchanges are fast nowadays.

Im wondering too since there are payment services out there, like bitpay that accept payments with zero confirmations. I wonder how they would handle if such a transaction would be cancelled.
I imagine it can work as long as the miner, who gets two transactions for the same coins, takes the transaction with the higher fee. But i dont know if miners have a routine for that at all.
So i would be interested to know if it works too. Though they seem confident about it.
What BitUndo advertises is something called a "race attack": http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Double-spending#Race_attackMost pools use the standard reference client which accepts the first transaction received rather than the one with the highest fee. What BitUndo does differently is it chooses the one with the higher fee instead. Someone who wishes to execute a double spend attempt can push two transactions at the same time with one transaction having a higher fee than the other. If the next block is mined by BitUndo, the transaction with the lower fee is then invalidated and never included in the blockchain. The chances of this attack succeeding depends on whether or not the next block is mined by BinUndo. If BitUndo's pool becomes more popular, then it's likely that businesses which accept zero confirmation transactions will have to change their practices. I'm not sure if it's already done but gambling sites, for example, might only honor withdrawals after the initial deposits have been confirmed. Fortunately, BitUndo is a tiny pool with a tiny hashrate and is therefore responsible for a tiny percentage of total blocks mined so the risk for businesses is still quite small. Thanks for explaining. Sounds like its not really a thread yet. Though even if they reach some percent of the network they could become a threat. A small chance is still more than nothing. But even then... the services with zero confirmation acceptance arent many. And most products arent delivered instantly so that the business owner could intervent. Interesting thing... i wonder if we will hear something about it again.

No answer yet. I resent my email in case it didnt reach. If he doesnt react i will call again and ask about it. Since the time for claiming funds is running out at the end of the month.
Or is someone having another idea to find out who is the bankruptcy trustee for activiming?

I guess it is safe to assume that Purse no longer monitors this thread
mrkent is from purse. Though they didnt regularly monitor the thread all the time. They only check occassionally in. So i think mrkent will answer questions at some point.

Thanks jeezy. I will forward to him in the hope of speeding up things. Regarding who owns how many shares... i believe at the start of cannabit he chose cryptostocks because they offered to automatically send an email (each day?) to the issuer that contains the shares everyone owns. So he should have the actual stats. There arent trades going on really too. But i will ask him about this too. Does NXT have 2FA or something like that too? I guess a password alone wouldnt be such a safe thing. Can you talk to him and ask him to set up a time to talk to shareholders? While I'm glad that some information is getting out through you, I would like to talk to him and ask him some questions.
Yes, im happy too since otherwise i most probably would believe this project is done already. He wrote that he wants to monitor the email i wrote him to more regularly now. And he wanted to make a post in here in the next days. I wonder if this happens. Would be good though. So depending on your questions you might post them in here. Otherwise you might send them to his email and i could ask him to check that account out and search for your question.
