Ok. I guess i can join :}  is it too late?

why are you adding 30% to the prize pool for holding the coins?  are you going to invest in the scams in Long-Term Offers?

Not sure honestly... Have you tried running cgminer to see if it's phoenix 2? Also, it could be server-side as i made an oops in the haproxy config file for port 80 redirection... if you're not using that, then disregard.

To Everyone who was mining litecoins: You will prolly notice an rpc_call_failure in minerd's logs. This is due to me having to edit the LTC p2pool instance's python code for long-polling to be under a different name so that haproxy would properly forward port 80 at http://pool.p2pmining.com/ to the right instance. I sincerely apologize for not noticing it sooner.

Thanks for the heads up, JayCoin.

I'm not being argumentative. I'm only repeating the same argument because I have yet to get any rational response to it. My point has nothing to do with his personal information or recourse. People had Madoff's personal information and he appeared to have large assets that would provide recourse. All of that is just not relevant. People think that someone can't be a criminal just because they know them. Well, guess what, criminals don't live in cement cages they do not leave, at least not before they're caught. Scammers know how to convince people they are ordinary, trustworthy folks. And many criminals don't care to hide their identity -- especially since nobody has yet been prosecuted for a Bitcoin-related theft.

But more importantly, my point is that there is no known explanation for how he could be doing what he claims to be doing other than that it's a scam. And there is no imaginable other explanation for why he would need or want a constantly increasing supply of other people's money at exorbitant interest rates.

There is simply no way a rational businessman would take all this risk and pay such high rates unless he was making a significant profit. And the first thing a rational businessman would do when making a significant profit is pay off his absurdly-high interest debts. And if the risk is high and he nevertheless had the funds to cover losses, the most rational think to do with those funds would be to loan them and thereby get rid of his high-interest debt. No rational person would have $50,000 in a bank account and still borrow the equivalent of $50,000 in BTC at exorbitant rates.

The only known explanation is that it's a scam.

Do you have some kind of response to this argument? Or are you trolling?

eroxors,

What specific GPU miner do you use under BAMT?

While I am 99.999+% confident that I will win the bet,  I'm not 100% sure that Matt will pay, and while I would like to believe he will, I'm taking this opportunity to minimize my risk of him not.  I plan on only selling 100-200 or so of this bet, and keeping the bulk of the exposure myself. 

Who do I contact to pay my buy-in? Last escrow you had listed never responded to my message.
