It is a good idea.

However, people can (and do) make business proposal on the forum, so this would be nothing new. Also, I fail to understand why investors wouldn't be able to express their opinions and/or ask questions. It would be a great disadvantage.

Care to explain the value of your project for the community?

the Central Bank of Finland publicizing that bitcoin is legal to use in Finland

It would be nice to know Exactly how they achieved this.

I want to do the same in Canada!
If I remember correctly, TV reporters asked a representative of the Central Bank and she just answered.

That's nice, too bad I'll be opening my own.

Did you know, there are hookah bars that have never gone bankrupt?  Especially with their rising popularity across the country.
Did you know vast majority of small businesses go bankrupt within their first two years?

I kill Atlas' psychopacy by seriousness.

And it's "you're", not your.

And it's "psychopathy", not psychopacy.

Try agin?
Thank you for correcting me. I still have much to learn.

It's a cougar. Bears have very short tails.

Thanks!  I didn't notice the long tail.  But I did notice the cat-like face.

In any case, feel free to follow me around the forum and correct any errors in my posts.  You will surely make me a better...erm, netizen?

Thanks for reading!
I didn't correct an error. I answered your question.
Why do you ask questions if you don't want answers?

What kind of panty-waste response is this?  You do realize this is the "Off-topic" section, right?!?

Oh wait...you're (your?) NEW here.  WELCOME!!!

This would not happen to me, thus I can't really answer your question.

Jokes aside, it's sad nakedness is so frowned upon in our society. Even more than violence. People shooting at each other in every movie is okay. But tits? Hell no, you have to cover them!

What the hell is so bad about human breasts (ass/penis/vagina)? Guess what, children have genitalia too. And they look at it in shower. They're not going to go crazy if they see a naked person, but they might go crazy if they see too much violence.

Awesome.  Q: is that duck brutalizing a [Bad]bear?

Anywho, great thread...thanks OP.

Please, stop trying to move the fault for your losses on other people. Graet is not responsible for your losses. It's you and Pirate.
Also it is strange that you're not grilling Goat this hard.

(I'm not a miner, but I couldn't read this thread without expressing support to Graet.)

The ponzi theory is just one of two good theories that fit the evidence, and the other theory, if true, explains that he is most likely to return the funds and also may explain his lack of communication at this point. He may actually have a good reason for being quiet even if he has the best of intentions.
Care to explain the second of the two theories?

This.

Pirate's scheme was either a standalone ponzi or a Zeek ponzi pass through. No other explanation fits the fact that he promised such high returns on such high amount of investment.

Either case, whoever "invested" is fucked.
From what I've read, I'm convinced it was meant to be a classic ponzi scheme from the very begining. Victims are trying to justify it by making up various theories how it could've been legit.

Why do you want to destroy a system that hundreds of millions people are happy with (or at least, do not complain), when you can just step away from it peacefully?

If people knew about how the banking system works (almost no one does) they would surely NOT be happy.  Ignorance is bliss for those hundreds of millions. They all likely believe the government makes money.

Go around and ask one question..  Where does money come from?  The answers you get will almost certainly all be WRONG!

I'm not responsible for other people's ignorance.  Whatever are the reasons why they are happy with the system, those reasons are not my concern.  I'm not in their head, and I'm not sure I understand the system better than they do, anyway.  Maybe YOU are the one who is wrong.

There really is no point launching a croisade against a this monetary system since you are not forced to hold fiat money.   Just buy precious metals, bitcoins or whatever.
You're not forced to hold fiat money, but your life is affected heavily by the monetary system. I'm not going to argue whether FRS is good with fiat, but as far as I remember, Bitcoin wasn't originally meant to use it. Bitcoiners think exchanges don't use FRS and act accordingly. Thus if exchanges use it, they are being scammed and lied to. We should try to find out. Or just wait and hope.

558  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Trendon Shavers/Pirate ~ New Info on: September 14, 2012, 12:51:50 AM
Hire a lawyer. Any future proceedings will be hampered by this vigilantism.

Hand the info over to a lawyer, and proceed quietly.

Taken from a page of Atlas's suicide hack:

We, as a community, fear that something has happened to our dear friend Trendon Shavers, officer. Would you be so kind as to send a squad over to such-and-such address and make sure he's okay? Call me back at ___________ and let me know that he told you that he's well, whereupon I'll report your findings to the rest of his friends. Click!

Done right, this could work. Thanks for the idea, Atlas.

~Bruno~

So police officers come to pirate's house and ask him if everything is alright. He says yes and they leave. Am I missing something?
559  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Pool Operators - PLEASE BAN & BLOCK GPUMAX getwork/proxy access to your pool on: September 14, 2012, 12:45:07 AM
This obsession with everything related to Pirate is becoming both stupid and counterproductive.

Guys, it's time to move on.
