I think you might be right, and as usual people are questioning placebo's integrity as well (I've received numerous PMs) because of how complacent he seemed to be in the OP's actions..

You are an absolute moron, the issue isn't that people can or cannot run them, but KNC's legal obligation to deliver miners when promised..

Look at Airwolf's feedback, some simple ways to prove he is legitimate but apparently refuses to do so... That makes me wonder given how easy it is to sign the address to prove ownership...

The challenges for the game comes from the fact that the OP is trying to execute a game where order of transactions and timing are critical to the perceived fairness of the game.. Yet not using a common reference (blockchain.info, chain.com, etc.) means users have no external reference to base the game's performance on.. Further the OP even links to blockchain.info TXes so it's reasonable for users to reference it for transaction ordering and timing..

In short the blockchain has no assurance of timing for broadcast or explicit transaction broadcast order but you are running a game that relies on that, and providing users no reference point outside of a self fulfilling statement the server itself is the authority, but your upstream network topology, connected nodes, etc. all have a material influence on how that order works since you are trying to establish it yourself.

Bottom line, if you want to build trust and avoid most of the ambiguity that is inevitable with the current game utilize a blockchain reference (blockchain.info, blockr, chain, etc.) as the authority...

It's all relative, many of us that were playing with piles of BTC when they were worth a few cents didn't think they would break $1,000 one day...

It's a conflict of interest if placebo is trying to be a proper escrow provider but you are right that the dev should hand it over (with some ICO funds in escrow to be safe since it's obvious dev has spent almost nothing) to someone that can properly support the coin.. It needs to happen now before the coin is delisted and completely dies...

That would be ebay, sure you will occasionally find a seller that will fork over a premium but watch for a chargeback as a buyer paying that kind of a premium may have more nefarious plans.. I sell on ebay often so I am not trying to down it, just saying to need to be careful...

There is a website and all but apparently the game is frozen.. Tried to force a payout from a previous deposit but nothing is updating...

Looking forward to seeing what is available and offering a review myself.. From the 5 chip Gridseeds, to the Gridseed blades and beyond I have been with dual mode/Scrypt ASICS from the beginning and can't wait to see how this one comes together..

You are right, I had a bunch myself but the dual mode was a poor implementation.. Hopefully they got it right this time around..

I'll be honest and tell you the reply from the hosting provider implies there may be some funny business going on.... You might want to keep a real close eye on things and hope you do in fact get actual miners one day, if you purchased actual miners I assume they stated the shipping costs post contract up front?

Are you serious, 1Th at about 1W for over $600 is a good deal? You are well over double the going rate for that type of hash and effeciency

How much time you invest pushing your agenda blows my mind, in any case the pool's hashrate is ticking up so enough people must be satisfied with the results..

Are you serious? Do you have no concept of how to handle a coin, it's only worth something if it has value to the community and you are doing nothing to build confidence in yourself or your coin.. It blows my mind how out of touch with the community you are..

A month or two late? Try a quarter or two late, point being that market aside they blew commitments and unlike Spondoolies they mined with customer equipment instead of satisfying customer commitments that were made, and now have been delivering used equipment to customers to satisfy deliveries..

Your point about them being better than some companies is a joke, if that was the measuring stick for any company or individual breaking the law the world would be a sad place.. I can you standing over the dead corpse of your significant other using your logic, "well I'm not that bad, I only killed one"

It's a good idea to make that move because you are right in that it won't take long before you are looked at as an enabler...

Unless there is a rebound I am out about 5 BTC, the dev could come back and turn things around but seeing him quiet while the value is tanking and the thread has gone negative is a bad sign.

Any chance on Marlboro Menthol Lights 100s?

He doesn't spend any time in the forums but I talk to him every day on freenode and he is readily accessible.. I can't speak for the past since I have only been with him a couple of months, nor do I understand the history and pure hatred some have toward him... However I can say without a doubt he is a solid pool operator and is a stand up guy, addressing any issues I've had personally...

Thanks for reinforcing the point you don't really know what you are doing, I hope you are taking to heart the comments being made by many of the active people in the thread.. In short you are doing a mediocre, to poor job of managing RISK.

Sadly the above post tells us you really don't understand how to manage a coin, further you are blind to the basics of effective communication and continue to dig yourself a hole.. The measure of effective communication is different in every industry, please recognize that thus far you haven't grasped what it takes..

Actually I wasn't going to suggest a fuck you, rather a refund for early deposits (minus the TX fee), since the alternative is to put more honest players at a disadvantage, which is what you are doing now.
