This should be the last one of the "very special investment opportunities" to shut down now, isn't it? They're all dead and gone?

Legit Level based on current material: meh.
Wait, are you implying that there might be something strange about a company that requires preorders to be paid in full, will not issue any refunds until a mythical shipping date, does not have a real adress, has both company and domain registration done through proxy registrars and has a phone # assigned to a single mobile phone? Guess so. Still, the fact that they have delivar'd other products in the past bugs me. I've seen pictures of that. Wasn't pretty.

Yeah, I have this problem you might be able to help with.
The thing is, I keep dying and waking up on a stone slab in a nightmare town full of zombies and stuff. And there's this animated skull flying next to me that keeps jabbering on and on. This is very annoying and I was wondering if something could be done about that.
I could pay you in 2 young plum children, boy and girl, very fond of candy.

Epic meal time probably needs it's own slaughter house with a giant pig cloning machine attached to it. FYI they will soon be extinct. pigs that is...

If a rich private interest or government decided that this sort of attack was in their best interest, what's stopping them?
Another thing stopping them ... it wouldn't be easy, even for a nation state, to accomplish. It takes more than an blank check to make this happen -- 25 Thash/s of hashing hardware is just not readily available. But it is. In a month. According to BFL at least. We have currently activity of 21 Thash/s recorded at SIPA. We have 22 confirmed preorders for 1 Thash/s BFL ASIC Minirigs on this board alone. So should these things actually exist at one point - yeah, I know, it's funny but let's finish the thought - those 22 would represent more than all current hash power combined. Now of course it's a given that these 22 would have to work together, but this is also doubly interesting. Because do we even now what exactly is running on these things?

That would be us, yes. Steve is in touch with them on a regular basis. This botnet attacker is just relentless. How does this mesh with the end of the article? What was fun to watch was that while the customer under attack was being targeted by 65Gbps of traffic, not a single packet from that attack made it to their network or affected their operations. In fact, CloudFlare stopped the entire attack without the customer even knowing there was a problem. From the network graph you can see after about 30 minutes the attacker gave up.

I almost feel bad about having principles and not taking advantage of all these idiots. This guy is playing the Ponzi scam book line by line. This is so easy it's insane.
Go ahead try it. I think you will fail. It's not easy. In fact it looks like it was difficult. If pirateat40 was running a ponzi I don't think his return on effort was all that much. And his return gets worse as time passes. Classic Ponzi schemes have a negative return on effort. - Bernie Madoff worked for full time for 20 years on his business and recovered nothing. His son killed himself and he got a 150 year prison sentence.
- Charles Ponzi work full time on his business for 2 years and recovered nothing. He spent 14 years in prision and was then deported to Italy. He died in poverty.
Also there's competition you'd have to deal with. Sergei Mavrodi has his recruiters working on this board right now for yet another Ponzi. Luckily the mods are pretty good at cleaning those up.

Is there 3rd party proof of their existence/performance (in the wild), or is it anther scam (no shortage of those)? That is a very interesting question indeed. Considering the way this whole thing is structured (full prepayment for preorders, no refunds until start of shipping, no real adress, incorporation and domain setup through proxy agents, telephone # is assigned to a mobile phone) it's perfectly set up for very very interesting results. I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions what kind of results.

Unless of course the 22 confirmed ASIC minirigs go online and immediately fork the chain.

Source please. I haven't been lurking here for a long time. Current total hashrate: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/BFL ASIC minirigs are specced @ 1000 GHash/s (the one to the right, not the middle one): http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

since I had actually written BTC on the back of the flash drive.
Yeah, don't do that. Use something like "wedding anniversary photos" or whatever noone would like to look at.

Thankfully someone created money which has rules that can't be changed by those looking to line their own pockets.
