Which is the new casino you're going to invest? Is it open to everyone for invest in the bankroll?

This casino is being sold, I will be buying into the new bankroll with 100% of the profits going to cover debt. Making it open for everyone wouldn't look too good because I know people will claim that this is some ponzi follow-up so until the whole debt is repaid they are unlikely to open it.

Oh, I see.

My main problem with NEOBEE is not bitcoin fluctuation directly,but but with the optimistic projections how many people will trust them with there money in relatively short period of time. Because there is considerable cost to run the business,they don't have much time to prove  
that the business is sound.
My second biggest concern is regulation.There is graveyard of bitcoin companies who in the time of there lunch did comply with regulations but was not able to keep up as the regulators reacted on presence of new element and try to protect legacy businesses and there constituents.  

That was already addressed.

LoL! Where did that come from?

Solipsism is basically a sort-of "I know I exist, and everything else builds from this first principle" thing. How can you not have faith your own existence? I guess it's feasible that someone could "experience death" /total loss of ego while on LSD, and from then on refer to themselves in the 3rd person and remain eerily convinced that the only thing keeping them "alive" is the causality of all the particle physics acting upon their body. But that would be weird, IMO. Notice how a "loss of ego" is equivalent to saying a "loss of knowledge of Self", which also implies that prior to the loss there was "faith in self".

Besides, I'm picking up a vibe of defensiveness towards some kind of socialist "objective reality" doctrine. Tongue When faced with 2 seemingly obvious but polar opposite theories about reality:
a) Self = god = conscious experience; the self is unlimited in size; the visible 'reality' that we see through our eyes is illusory and smaller than we really are; other 'people' may be different parts of the same Self.
b) Self = basically nothing; we are tiny specks in a huge objective reality, and all those other people are fundamentally separate entities yet at least equal to or probably greater than us.

for reasons of political and religious expedience, a is frowned upon and b is the correct view.

Oh, sorry if I did not express myself correctly.

I have faith that you exist, that the world is real outside my mind, that when a tree falls in the woods it makes a sound even if no one is there to listen.

From a philosophical point of view, I reject solipsism on faith.

And I was answering to: "So if there is no consciousness or intelligence in the universe anywhere, circles don't exist?"

I have noticed (for the last 3 years here) that many 'traditional' traders say the same things over and over again. They are correct in short window timeframes but they miss the point entirely long term.

Bitcoin is not a traditional asset - when it was 0.0001$ last time? Sorry, I forget!

Here's a reply..... is this the one I missed?

I agree Bitcoin does not perform like any traditional asset and in the long-term it'll either be worth a lot of money or nothing at all, in fact I think it's a pretty binary outcome.

However my issue with this particular 'bank' is that irrespective of the likelihood of it going up through time history has proven that it has that capability of massively falling in value in short periods and it will likely do so again at some points, since it is not 'backed' by anything (metals, governments, taxes, countries or soldiers being the common methods).

I merely wish to discuss what happens to the 'bank' with all it's pegged deposits at that point and the answer is that it quickly becomes insolvent (unless some undeclared potential blackbox trading saves it etc)..........
Thanks for the answer!
I agree with what you say, it is the short term steep price drop gamble that makes this investment risky (probably no one will accuse NEOBEE if BTC goes to zero).

But because it will be short term the agenda of NeoBee convinced me that the risk will be tolerated/handled properly.

I guess we will found out soon!

The "bet" here is as much in BEOBEE as it is in bitcoin, if someone thinks NEOBEE is going to fail because bitcoin price will drop to zero, just stay away from bitcoin at all...
Not really - Bitcoin had several crashes (2 big and many smaller) that did not kill it. Though a big crash could kill NeoBee (bank run etc) provided that the counter measures are not sufficient as stated.

I believe there are contingencies in place for bubbles, because they are going to happen again!

You really are a class act, so you steal people's money to invest in another casino, then you try and make it seem like your doing them a favor by investing there money in another casino to pay them back.

As I have already said security was compromised, a small bug was exploited and BTC was lost (and as I recall I have mentioned that we will not be taking ANY responsibility in that event due to our safety margin being non existent, e.g. 0% fees), if I have really wanted to steal peoples money I could disappear with the 880BTC invested in the system at its peak but I didn't. Instead I have made the best situation out of what happened and took full responsibility as well as have agreed to make everyone whole, I have even agreed to sink my own 13,000$ in the process of making everyone whole and I am sitting here with a fever working actively to ultimately repay everyone owed despite the constant threats etc. How am I a thief again?

The offer was altruistic in nature to begin with, I had no intention of making any profit in the first few months.

The 100BTC is enough to cover about (roughly) 1/3 of the debt, if I could repay it fully I would.

Which is the new casino you're going to invest? Is it open to everyone for invest in the bankroll?

the address that they are mining to has had some rather large deposits today. Check it out, maybe this is good news?

The last of those payments can be traced to here: https://blockchain.info/pt/address/14cZMQk89mRYQkDEj8Rn25AnGoBi5H6uer

Is that Italian? Seems Like Alessia Tatti, is pumping deposits into the account, with fake scam payments.

It's portuquese, so someone is pumping bullshit payments into their account.

Really? Are you that stupid? That URL points to the portuguese translation because I'm portuguese!

Anyway, does anyone knows from witch pool the address is?

It's from BTC Guild

Thanks.

Mining is not "free"...

Check: http://onebtc.blogspot.com/

as usual free faucets sites and nothing new in this one

What did you expect?

I developped an idea to invest on just-dice.com and won a couple of btc recently.
I might explain it a little bit more.


But short story:
improving martingale to prevent account from crashed.
Started with a lot of coins, or have a small goal.


- increasing bets if previous one/ones is/are lost.
- decreasing bets if previous one/ones is/are won.

Do not do that every time, but use variance. Example:
You bet 1 btc and lost. Do not increase, keep it low.
Bet again 1 btc won.
Bet again 1 btc won.


Only increase after a consecutive loosing streak. Otherwise, wait variance to get your coins back at the same level.
=> account will survive.

This helps: http://botdice.com/

This is still surreal to me, buying guns online with credit card...


It is not the worst thing....


Buying it with CC, or btc or whatsoever...
What makes me sick is that some people are selling guns to children (like 4 or 5 years old).


Then even make pink guns for ladies... I mean girls....


I heard that one young American boy killed his young sister with that oO

Yap, I've watched somewhere a young girl with a pink Hello Kitty rifle, a small rifle, small as in for children hands...

I don't believe you can have your guns shipped to you via FedEx. You need to go to the shop in person, with a background check done while you wait. That would take a few minutes. When you buy your gun online they ship it to the gun store nearest to you if they don't have the model you want in stock.

I am not a gun owner so I could be wrong.

Yeah, I guess it will depend on what state you are, but I'm from a country with tight gun control and the "every one can have a gun" it's pretty weird to me...

I have started to investigate other scams to see if they might link together.

CedarTec's website looks similar in visuals to LabCoin's.
http://cedartec.net
http://labcoin.com

Some of similarities I find:

1. Strong emphasis on good looking pictures.
2. Logo placed at same top-left spot of the site.
3. Logo of same design - two graphic elements combined with company name (also two-words combined)
4. Usage of three column design of website.
5. Footers mix same elements. Use of word "Tec". Mixing different separators.

6. All devices on pictures are shown from exactly same angle.
Left device from straight front.
Middle turned clockwise, shows efficiency of cooling,
Right turned anticlockwise. Emphasis on interiors (fans, psu, leds while labcoin's show the board).
All pictures are shown from exact same angles.
Use of plastic/rubber stands at bottom of devices or round curves in both designs also match.

All those things are far from being proof of any kind, but shows that both designers had common sense of art.



Have a look at the current crop of templates. They all look like that.

Exactly!
