It looks like you are using shared hosting. Seriously?

Probably a good idea to not use Google Sites, and read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124441.0

For starters, 1 - identify yourself (where is your company registered? if it is registered, where are your licenses?), 2 - spend six months learning, and announce the details:

If you think your business plan has to be kept secret because otherwise others will steal it you are probably too stupid to be in business (not just BTC, but in general).

Let me explain to you how business "stealing" works: at the time MPEx was created (Feb 2012) there existed GLBSE already, which sucked at that time. Nobody flailing around in a cloud of stupidity almost mould-like in consistency seemed to be aware of it, but GLBSE sucked. And so Mr. P decided to make a securities exchange that worked right and was run correctly.

So, pro tip #1: there's so much to do and so few people capable of doing it in Bitcoin that if your plan makes sense and you seem even remotely competent everyone else who is competent will breathe a sigh of relief. They aren't going to "steal" your idea of doing the absolutely fucking obviously banal, cause so much is needed I couldn't begin to tell you

Sure, I'm untrustworthy on the things I never promised I'll do. Tongue

Ask someone who I actually promised (coinlenders users, btcinvest shareholders) if I'm trustworthy or not.
4124  Economy / Gambling / Re: If I had a large gambling website, who can I trust here? on: May 21, 2013, 08:08:43 AM
If dooglus does not object, the list so far is as follows:

1. dooglus
2. TradeFortress
3. keatonatron = obituary on bitcointalk.org forum. (hehe)

What I don't know is if there should be a hierarchy or if I can send to both at once. Then you decide among the two of you who does whatever. The result is either, the winner gets his prize, or everyone gets refunded (which is going to be difficult if there are a lot of small outputs, ie, ticket price is 0.01)

Remember, nothing happens if I'm alive and can do what I'm supposed to do.
Why not send the prize to the winner? The winner would be pissed if that did not happen.

SD has lost some people's business or chunks of it for sure.  Some of the alternatives have several advantages, and are certainly not designed worse than SD.  SD has a lot of momentum and is still running on the fact that it's 'The SD'.
It's pretty obvious that SD needs a instant account based system (as another option) pretty soon.

There's always going to be the people sending coins to SD because they have it in the addressbook, but SD to the average user has being stagnant for months while competitors have advantages like instant results (one of the prime attractions of SD, before people learned to double spend) with the same provably fairness. It's only a matter of time before those services are as regarded as reputable as satoshidice, and blocking US players certainly does not help with growth.
4128  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: TradeFortress VERY untrustworthy, owes me 10.15 BTC, possibly others. on: May 21, 2013, 07:49:54 AM
You Trust, You learn.  It goes both ways.  The trick is to trust others with as much as you're willing to pay to learn that they aren't trustworthy.  When you get that right, you always win when dealing with others, whether they're trustworthy or not.

Exactly, I trusted TradeFortress, he proved himself very untrustworthy. He owes me 10.15 BTC.

That is the title of this thread, and the point here.

I am really sorry you lost your money. But didn't TF offer to send you the money to a btc address? And did he not warn you that if he just sent the btc stamps back, someone else might use his IOUs to trade them for your stamps?  I dont mean to be harsh or cold. I'm very sad it happened, but TF showed you how it could happen but you refused the btc deposit to a secure wallet. Instead you wanted your stamps on ripple with all the risk that entailed.

I *exactly* said this and he wants me to send the BTCs back:

Quote
My point is that if someone else had done this, you would be at a loss of 10.15 BTC, and I have no obligation to redeem my 10.15 BTC because I had no intention of honoring it in the first place, and there are no terms for redemption.

Hey, look, what happened?  Roll Eyes

Oh wow, isn't that exactly what happened. I already stated that I have no intention of honoring it.

TL;DR response to your question: never.
4130  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Theymos: What the fuck is up with BFL and TradeFortress? on: May 21, 2013, 07:47:23 AM
I didn't take real bitcoins away from you, I didn't even take BTC.Bitstamp from you (remember when I gave it back to you?). My actions have allowed other independent people to exchange your BTC.Bitstamp to more BTC.TradeFortress, but as I've repeatedly said I'm not paying you BTC because I have never sent you bitcoins in the first place. Just Ripple bitcoin tokens, which are not bitcoins.

Derp. (Also, this is coming from the guy that thinks public blockchain / public ledger is a bug and filed an issue in the bug tracker for ripple).

+1 to dooglus.

If he's unwilling to take up on it, I would be happy to do it.

Holy fuck that would be scary.

It's malware. Disconnect from the internet, download a offline malware scanner, put it on a W (no RW) disc, scan for malware.

Disable java in your browser.
4133  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Theymos: What the fuck is up with BFL and TradeFortress? on: May 21, 2013, 07:34:35 AM
I sent people Ripple BTC when they asked, just like what I have being doing in the giveaway thread. I've sent people thousands of Ripple BTC, and sending 15 Ripple BTC to someone who asked was no exception. Have you being following? I also sent you 50 Ripple BTC too.

Either way, I don't redeem ripple BTCs for real BTCs, and..

For a scammer tag, the accused person needs to have promised to do something and then failed to deliver on the promise. TradeFortress never promised to pay anyone any bitcoins here. If you trust him to do something that he didn't promise, that's your problem.

It's pretty clear that I wasn't going to let you redeem by Ripple IOUs for real bitcoins, I've said it directly to you but you persisted. This is exactly what would happen, have some intelligence pl0x.

Why are you guys trying so hard to get rid of ripple?
because Ripple are trying to get bitcoin users using false advertising.

I was a very early adopter of Ripple too

That explains it.

If you've being on here for a while, you should know that MPOE-PR is pretty much always correct in determining what services and businesses are junk.

Sorry for all the posts, I'll bid 5 @ 5.25 actually - rather than the chance someone outbids me and I'll have to outbid them Smiley
4140  Economy / Auctions / Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 82 on: May 21, 2013, 06:26:22 AM
Hope that's OK (if rule #6 takes effect after rule #1), if not I will stand by my bid of 5 @ 5.25.

By the way, there's a typo in the auction text back when 8 slots were auctioned: When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled.
