4641  Economy / Securities / Re: Selling 17500 shares of GLBSE (actual shares) on: September 24, 2012, 03:44:58 PM
Do these shares currently produce dividends? I do not want the amount, just simple yes or no.

They do, though not on any fixed schedule.
4642  Economy / Securities / Selling 17500 shares of GLBSE (actual shares) on: September 24, 2012, 03:37:10 PM
I am selling 17500 shares of BitcoinGlobal, the owner of GLBSE. There are currently 77500 total GLBSE shares, so this represents a 23% share in GLBSE.

My reason for selling:

Some big legitimate Bitcoin businesses have expressed interest in listing on GLBSE, but they can't do so because GLBSE might be illegal. Nefario would like to change this by making GLBSE a legal company and following all relevant regulations. This could potentially increase profits, but I don't like the idea of abandoning small and "dubious" businesses, I don't like lawyers and regulations getting in the way of business, and I certainly don't want to be officially/legally listed as a shareholder (and especially not treasurer).

Here are the bylaws:
http://theymos.com/bylaws.pdf

- In order to buy the shares, you must be approved by half of the current shareholders. I don't foresee this being difficult for most people. You don't need to be well-known in the community or anything.
- The shareholders do not want to bring in too many other shareholders. They will probably not approve a transfer of less than ~500 shares, so offers to buy fewer than 500 shares will probably not be accepted.
- Nefario wants GLBSE to move toward becoming a legitimate corporation. You must agree to be legally and publicly listed by name as a shareholder/partner/whatever in legal documents if this becomes required in the future.
- Shareholders have an above-average level of involvement in management. There are regular meetings on IRC.
- Financials are private. Within the next few days, there may be a way for you to view financial data if you sign a NDA.
- Nefario would like to restructure the company and possibly create more shares. It is unlikely that he will be able to legally do this without the 23% of shares sold here (66% is required to change the bylaws), so you will have a say in how this turns out.

I will not sell shares at a price below 0.3 BTC per share, and I expect the final selling price to be much higher. PM me your offers. I can answer some questions here, but some info is confidential.

Thanks.

What about the other points?

Is there a thing anywhere (navigation link, sticky or otherwise) which explains the moderation and/or scammer guidelines?

There are scattered topics about that. Everything's not in one place.
4646  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Forum moderation policy on: September 23, 2012, 01:15:31 AM
Main thing I ever see enforced is a loose concept of "scammer" with tags being applied to various users for various reasons which don't seem to be well documented in a conspicuous way / nowhere I've seen in forums explains the exact definition of scammer (comprehensively or otherwise)

I'm glad you don't see moderation. I hate it when moderation is intrusive on forums.
4647  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Nefario GLBSE on: September 22, 2012, 05:28:01 PM
I have a conflict of interest here. Maged and BadBear will decide whether Nefario deserves a scammer tag.

4649  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ANDREW BITCOINER!! on: September 21, 2012, 10:05:49 PM
I haven't received a reply in a week and he never formally accused me of violating any TOS. Initially he said he had a rash of payouts, then he said there was a bug, then he said we exploited the bug but he will still pay out. I tried to check his TOS the other day and it was 404'd. DOH! in my opinion did violate the TOS, which gave Andrew a reason to jump on the opportunity and not pay out in his case.

My account balance would have still had the BTC in it if I didn't initiate withdrawals.

So I've been unofficially called a cheat and it's been three weeks.

I think he said something along the lines that doubling down was free, or something, which I can assure was not the case for me because I played likely hundreds upon hundreds of hands.

He won't credit my account to my knowledge, or deposit the money to my BTC account.

I have all these screenshots and emails. You can look up the addresses in the blockchain right?

No payouts, no communication.

Please post these PMs. (Just post the text, if this is convenient. Screenshots are no more valuable than text.)
4650  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ANDREW BITCOINER!! on: September 21, 2012, 09:48:27 PM
Well, I understand your position, but how many reports of BTC not being paid out do you need before a "community consensus" is reached?  He's not paying out on his advertiser platform either.  With dozens of people reporting failed payouts, I would think the onus would be on him to prove his innocence.

I sometimes do use reasoning like that to decide scammer cases, but I feel that Andrew Bitcoiner has a strong case. His site ToS says:
Quote
Any and all units of the Bitcoin digital currency deposited into a BitcoinAdvertisers.com Bitcoin address becomes the sole property of the Service until such time that the Bitcoin(s) is transferred to a third party Bitcoin address at the sole discretion of the Service.

I would still tend toward marking him as a scammer if he clearly kept deposited BTC for absolutely no reason, but he claims that all of the people with frozen accounts violated aspects of the ToS and he is therefore within his rights to keep the BTC. This may be true. I have no way of verifying whether or not people broke the site rules.
4651  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ANDREW BITCOINER!! on: September 21, 2012, 09:18:58 PM
Mods - why does Andrew Bitcoiner NOT have a scammer tag yet??

I can't independently verify that scamming occurred.

That means deleting is never done without your consent ?  Moderators just report ?
Is there any thread, where the different powers of moderators, globalmoderators and administrators is explained?
Thanks

"Moderators" moderate specific sections. They can delete posts there, edit them, move topics, split topics, lock topics, and sticky topics. "Global moderators" are the same as moderators, but they moderate all sections. All staff can also whitelist newbies and ban newbies. Administrators can do anything.

Any user can report a post. The report is send to the admins, global moderators, and any applicable section moderators. The recipients choose to act on the report or not.

Very unfortunate, Meni. I don't blame you at all. I hope you're not too disheartened by this experience. Your financial expertise is a great asset to the community.

I thought Alberto was just an incompetent businessman and would end up running a Ponzi scheme unintentionally. (I hoped to get out before he realized this and the thing collapsed.) It looks like I was wrong and he was actually a scammer from the start.

4657  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP! Can't view pictures in posts on: September 18, 2012, 08:09:52 PM
Other forums don't usually use HTTPS. It's possible that your browser is configured to block images from non-HTTPS sites when using HTTPS. Do you get an "insecure content" warning when viewing threads containing images?

This is also my guess.
4658  Bitcoin / Important Announcements / Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.7.0 released on: September 18, 2012, 01:27:45 AM
Upgrade now!

Bitcoin version 0.7.0 is now available for download at:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/

We recommend that everybody running prior versions of bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt
upgrade to this release.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues

Project source code is hosted at github; you can get
source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.7.0  # .tar.gz
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/v0.7.0  # .zip

Ubuntu Linux users can use the "Personal Package Archive" (PPA)
maintained by Matt Corallo to automatically keep
bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type
  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package:
  sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt


How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
Code:
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt
(on Mac) or
Code:
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt
(on Linux).

If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using the
PPA and are switching to the binary release), then run the old version again
with the -detachdb argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new
version will not be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.

In order to collect more money for the creation of good forum software, the forum is selling ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page.

Ads this week will be allowed to contain any non-annoying HTML/CSS style. No images, JavaScript, or animation (no marquee or blinking). Ads must appear 3 or fewer lines tall in my browser. Ads will be prefixed with "Advertisement:". Ad text may not contain lies, misrepresentation, or inappropriate language. Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page. Ads may be rejected for other reasons.

There are 10 total ad slots which are randomly rotated. So one ad slot has a one in ten chance of appearing. Eight of the slots are for sale here. Ads appear only on topic pages with more than one post, and only for people using the default theme.

The ad lasts 7 days starting from when I put it up.

Stats

Exact historical impression counts per slot:
https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats

Efficacy stats:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54182.0

Info about the current ad slots:
https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo

Auction rules

Post your bids in this thread. Prices must be stated in BTC per slot. You must state the max number of slots you want. When the auction ends, the highest bidders will have their slots filled until all eight slots are filled.

So if someone bids for 8 slots @ 5 BTC and this is the highest bid, then he'll get all 8 slots. If the two highest bids are 8 slots @ 4 BTC and 1 slot @ 5 BTC, then the first person will get 7 slots and the second person will get 1 slot.

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.25.
- The bidding starts at 0.5.
- The auction end time is 17:00:00 on September 24, UTC. Countdown. (The end time may be extended -- see below.)
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slots filled first.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity, or if they could not possibly win any slots

If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 30 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 30 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will not extend beyond 6 hours total.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else.
