Equally good luck running any bitcoin services in the lightnet. We can all see how little luck and sliding down slippery slopes to oblivion that system has, on a monthly, if not weekly basis.

There are plenty of successful businesses operating on the open side of the web.

That many users continue to tolerate failures like Mt.Gox is just a sign of how immature the market still is.  There will be many successful ventures that fully conform to regulation.  And any business restricting itself to operation on the darknet is limiting itself to an extremely small segment of the user base.

Roman held the bitcoin in trust, and then defaulted on delivery.

True.

Quote from: Entropy-uc
He claims that was the result of a 'hack', but no proof has ever been shown.  Neither has a police report for the supposed theft.

Also true, though there hasn't been a good explanation for why he went out looking for investors, or promised to pay the coins back with revenues, and was actually doing so. Did he basically come up with a clever scheme of borrowing 25,000 BTC at great risk to his business?

Quote from: Entropy-uc
Regardless of the reason he found himself short 25000 BTC, refusing to make good on the coins on deposit was a seizure of the coins.

If you are claiming that he actually had those coins because he stole them himself, I'll need proof. If not, then what was paying them back bit by bit if not "making good on the coins on deposit?"

Quote from: Entropy-uc
I never agreed to allow him to continue operating while holding my coins.

Do you own him or his business? If not, then why does he need your permission? Would you have preferred that he stop operating his business, and you never get any of your coins back? Why would others who did want their coins back allow you to do that?

He was free to file bankruptcy, as any person or company can when their liabilities exceed their obligations.  Many businesses come through such a process far better off.  Barring the bankruptcy, yes he needed my permission to use my money in ways that I did not agree to when that money was put on deposit with him.

The question of who stole the original 25000 coins is an excellent one.  I have no information, other than a failure by Roman to provide any proof that their was a third party involved, or that he took any substantial actions to report the incident to appropriate authorities.  He did stay in London partying at the Bitcoin conference for days after the supposed incident occurred.

Failures fail.  And Bitcoin has a lot more failures to come before it matures.

And do feel free to ignore me.  I'm only going to continue to point out when your are full of shit, and that obviously infuriates you.

I give up.  It has become clear that you are not open to reason, logic, or honest communication.  I won't waste any further time on a one-sided conversation.

Of course you give up.  You made a completely unsupportable claim - That seizure of funds was within the operating terms of Bitfloor - and I called you on your complete bullshit.

Now instead of acknowledging that you massively overstepped yourself and cannot defend such a claim your fall back on pretending I'm unreasonable.

You're going to have to try harder if you want to be Roman's apologist.  He hasn't given you much to work with.
565  Economy / Exchanges / Re: bitfloor issues? on: June 20, 2013, 08:56:59 PM
piles of BS removed

You get stunningly defensive when I challenge your ridiculous notion that people agreed to let Roman use their funds in whatever manner he desired.

Ignoring your strawman arguments about things I didn't say, why don't you go ahead and tell me where I agreed to be a creditor to Roman in the event he got 'hacked' or any other circumstance for that matter.

And do feel free to ignore me.  I'm only going to continue to point out when your are full of shit, and that obviously infuriates you.

Please direct me to where I agreed he could seize my bitcoin by calling them on 'hold' and use the proceeds to continue funding his lifestyle through this business.

Likewise, please direct me to where you got information that Roman was the one who seized my bitcoin.

Roman held the bitcoin in trust, and then defaulted on delivery.  He claims that was the result of a 'hack', but no proof has ever been shown.  Neither has a police report for the supposed theft.

Regardless of the reason he found himself short 25000 BTC, refusing to make good on the coins on deposit was a seizure of the coins.  I never agreed to allow him to continue operating while holding my coins.

What is the point of bank regulation and oversight if companies like this continue to thrive? http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/14/us-bankofamerica-mortgages-idUSBRE95D10O20130614 … (close your BoA accnt!)
Close your BitFloor account!

What would you accomplish by closing your BitFloor account right now?

Jesus does this guy even knows what it's like to be lied to by your bank, and then he proceeds with this?

I'm not sure that Roman has said anything yet that has been demonstrated as a lie.

I agree that he hasn't been as communicative as we'd all like, and that he didn't take financial responsibility for the "hack" that occurred last fall.

However, neither of those things are outside the terms of service that we agreed to when we chose to use his service, and it'd be interesting to see if any U.S. court would recognize either behavior as illegal (as compared to the BoA practice that appears to be pretty clearly illegal).

Please direct me to where I agreed he could seize my bitcoin by calling them on 'hold' and use the proceeds to continue funding his lifestyle through this business.

You are either a sock puppet for Roman or suffering from a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

I sold almost 100 FPGAs using escrow to more than a dozen people on here.

The worst problem I ever encountered was someone who took a day or 2 to acknowledge receipt of their shipment.  I think if you ship a package with signature required and showing the correct weight you can simply include in the terms that an 'empty box' claim has to be supported by video and you will be fine.
571  Economy / Auctions / Re: 12 Cairnsmore CM1 4xLX150 FPGA on: June 18, 2013, 12:03:52 AM
It means they are going very cheap.

Think they are cheap now? Just wait a month.

Not really.  Unlike ASIC board that have no other functions, FPGAs are useful for other purposes.  So there is a minimum value for the hardware, which is about what these sold for.
572  Economy / Auctions / Re: 12 Cairnsmore CM1 4xLX150 FPGA on: June 17, 2013, 10:52:25 PM

573  Economy / Auctions / ASICMINER Direct Shares 3.1 BTC fixed on: June 17, 2013, 04:51:08 PM
I am offering for sale direct shares in Asicminer at a fixed price of 3.1 BTC.

Optionally you can use escrow through John K., but I think escrow is unnecessary if your purchase is documented here as you could always appeal to Friedcat.  Fees for escrow are your responsibility.

I have 600 shares at address 16Esrbw6SgJsNHoCiGNmRjmkx4ZobqaXqs

12 hours left and I will.

It's still half the price for new FPGAs and close to the scrap value of the boards, so I expect there will be more bids yet.

I am auctioning 12 Cairnsmore CM1 Quad Lx150 FPGA boards.  All boards are in good operating condition, programmed and ready to hash.  Buyers of 2 or more will receive enough stacking kits and up-down connectors to pair boards into 1 USB connection per 2 boards.  Power consumption is 45W / board, so these board will continue to be profitable for a long time.  Shipping costs and escrow fees are the buyers responsibility.  I will escrow with John K.
