Since everyone seems to be farting out ridiculous 'social sharing' that people treat like blogs, and blogs that people treat like their own personal diaries, I thought I might capitalize on the entire thing by cutting to the chase (people love honesty!)

Introducing



I'm selling shares now for $1,000,000USD per share, with a trillion shares available.

Is everyone ready to get in on this bleeding edge synergy?

The arguments for how easily it could just be him giving you money to get you to put more in are overwhelming. Read the thread with pages and pages of arguments.

Again, feel free to do as you wish with your money but bottom line--- why would anyone give their money to someone completely anonymous?

UPDATE:

I decided to go back and change the DialCoin ad and make it a bit more professional looking.

I tried to start one called the UABB, and everyone on the forum tore me a new asshole saying that such an idea was anti-decentralization and that the BBB itself is a total scam. After a while I stopped defending myself and listened to the arguments. As hard as it was to swallow at first, it's true--- a BBB model doesn't work, straight and simple.

Instead, a rating system given by users should be the proper replacement. So here's me, in a nice and nonjudgmental way, using only facts to give BitScalper.com a rating of 99% for risk.

I hope he turns out to be honest and I'm totally wrong. I enjoy eating crow on those occasions, but the presentation is heading south at this point.

Dear community,

As a businessman and an avid project developer, I have my foot in many doors and sit at many tables. My own organization, the DCAO (dcao.org) is now home to over 50 of Bitcoin's most respected and active members. The group produces products and services (including the Bitcoin Magazine, DialCoin, BitTalk.TV) and has supported me immensely in my decisions-- until now.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed bitscalper's activities, and like the troll I am (ever see the infographic?) I went in to investigate. I immediately contacted him along with another member of our organization in efforts to find out more information. I personally am not interested in arbitrage other than just to learn more about what it is, but the other member was curious about potentially purchasing BitScalper had it been legitimate.

After I had learned a bit more about arbitrage, I came to the same conclusion my mentors in the topic came to: it's a dead end in this market and barely profitable at all, and any site like BitScalper is just giving away his profits and could not possibly even be using the money that is being invested into it.

After realizing this, I instructed Mr. Bitscalper to instead of selling to us, sell to another interested party who in fact was looking for an arbitrage bot. Through our daily discourse I learned many things about him. His supposed name, whereabouts, plan for running his systems. I was still not interested in the details and kept focusing on one key point-- how could I be of service to him while also confirming that BitScalper is not a mildly elaborate scam?

Since day one of my communications with him, the entire DCAO has been telling me "That site is a scam", "there is no way that site is legitimate", and asking me on progress of confirming whether or not it was in fact a scam. I repeatedly advised Mr. Bitscalper of my organizations collective opinions and concerns and I was repeatedly told that they were offensive and unjust, constantly promised an "inside peek" and further divulgence to calm my fears and general concerns.

After a short period of time I was very comfortable with trusting Mr Bitscalper all while telling my fellow colleagues in the DCAO to calm their irrational fears, citing my own poor presentation when I first entered the community. The issue remains that to this day, I have never been provided a single scrap of proof in any form whatsoever of any funds actually being used for arbitrage, stored safely in reserves, or that the owner of the website is not intend on just running off with everyone's money.

I am a man of my word and I have told Mr. Bitscalper that anything said between us would never be posted anywhere else, and I intend on keeping that promise. We had discussed many issues with the system, many ideas on how to make it grow, and even plans to work together on certain business ventures that would have been fun to say the least-- but he never once got around to keeping any of his promises for proving himself. Always another promise, always another day. Yesterday was a new excuse. Today it's another.

What I have learned is this:

He is kind. He is obviously foreign. He makes promises and talks big. He claims to 'know" many people, all while referring to people in my own group that he is unaware are in my own group.

I cannot however prove any wrongdoing yet and it is for this reason that I have decided to simply back off from any dealings with him. Although I cannot tell you his intentions (since I feel sincerely hurt when anyone lies to me, I honestly hope Mr. Bitscalper is an honest, but just poorly represented person) I can tell you that using his website due to his anonymity and vagueness is extremely risky regardless of his character and intentions.

I am not an authority on anything other than what I am connected to, and I unofficially give Bitscalper a Bitcoin Risk Level of 99%.

Do with your money as you may, but instead of threatening and name calling, let's show this newcomer to our new, post-mybitcoin economy, what happens to businesses that don't provide correct representation--- they don't get our business.

Until Mr. Bitscalper provides sufficient proof in private to myself directly, I would never endorse BitScalper. It has now been 2 weeks of runarounds and phantom excuses and the smell is starting to get bad.

Do not let this community suffer through another MyBitcoin. Let's kindly and quietly raise our standards and show these so called 'businesses' how it's done.

I have written a thread about BitScalper and I highly advise that everyone read it.

TL;DR:

Do not let this community suffer through another MyBitcoin. Let's kindly and quietly raise our standards and show these so called 'businesses' how it's done.

Never been to school in my life. Ran one once though.

Updated advertising pricing (we're running out of slots faster than I thought!)

Just finished another advertisement for the magazine.

How'd you hear about that? He's not kidding guys.

Thanks Bear. I knew you were a good bear.


UPDATE: Just finished another advertisement for one of our advertisers. Take a look at the advertisements I have personally made for the magazine and our pricing. You might find it worth your while if you are a bitcoin business.

Aaaand it's gone.

That's more of a guideline than a rule...

How about a grammar/spelling bot too that patrols the posts and bans people if they reach a certain ratio of mistakes-to-corrects?

Unbeknownst to you, there is a war waging regarding the appropriateness of it. I personally like it too, and thanks! ^_^

Sure does, if you buy it through Bit-pay of course.

Monthly!

You two have something to talk about it seems.



bit-pay.com?

@Goat: Much love and all, but please update this thread's title. Everytime I see "Hasing power" I want to come in here and post "Wtf is HASING POWER?". lol

hehe. Let me be rude then.

I'm sorry, but if that's the "eBay of Bitcoin", then Bitcoin is completely worthless.

Are you aware of how successful eBay is?

That's a very round about way of saying "Can everyone stop talking about off-topic?" but I agree.

I'll post some more updates as I go. My time has now shifted almost entirely to dealing with subscriptions and advertising.
