I would like to be able to search for posts of people in a list of "favorite posters."

Perhaps they could even get a highlighted button for "favorites" like the ignore button.

He *calls out* everyone!  idjut
No, he calls out everyone that sounds suspicious. If you're not an established user, that includes you, regardless of your intentions. If that offends you, that's your problem.

There is a lot of trust involved in lending and the lending forum was not set up for strangers (of which 99% are indeed scammers.)

He has 5 Million and will just buy a better lawyer and your BTC is and cash is gone..

There's also never been any evidence provided of him being given 500k BTC.  As far as I can tell, when people trot out the USD 5 million figure they're talking about what they believe he "owes" including compounded interest, not the principal they "invested" with him less any payments they received.
IIRC the 500k figure is based off of some BS he threw out on IRC. I never saw any additional evidence. If there wasn't any, then it does seem pretty ridiculous to take this one thing at face value, out of the thousands of lines of bullshit this guy spewed.

Busted.
If appreciating someone that relentlessly calls out these idiotic scammers makes me guilty of something, then take me to jail. I poke at them once and a while, but am not nearly as entertaining.

AFAIK, the lending forum was not set up for people with 0 history/rep to come scam and beg.

I got an error trying to access this page: http://www.bitcoinstore.com/pcslaptops/portable-computers.html

But after refreshing it a few times it came up.

Additionally - I would just call the category Laptops&Tablets, not "portable computers."

You make a bad call every time you log in.  I'd love to see your k/d spread on scammers tomatospooge.

Who cares? I only have to be right once. This is my throw-away account, so I couldn't really give a fuck about acquiring a bad rep.

Seems like you are right 99% of the time. Keep on truckin.

Break even?
With power costs, I'd make $35 a month, and that's assuming my computer is at it's full 518w draw (Which it wouldn't be. It'd be closer to 320w).
IF I wanted to, it could buy a second 7970 GHz (At current price) in less than eight months. But, considering I'd probably get a PhysX card instead, that would certainly help with funding Steam games.

Oh, if I had a nickel for every time a newbie calculated profit per month based on the current difficulty and projected earnings for the next x months.  Wink

Unfortunately for GPU miners, (with the exception of 2 weeks ago) the difficulty has been increasing approximately ~8-10% every ~12 days for the last several months due to more FPGA hardware coming online. Your calculations assume no new power will be added to the network - this won't be true even without ASICs, which are expected to ship within the next month. When ASICs mining truly begins difficulty will increase incredibly quickly and GPU mining won't even be worth the wear on your equipment.

If you want to buy a card for gaming, go for it - just don't expect to break even. It's not going to happen.

Don't buy anything for GPU mining with the expectation of breaking even. There is no longer a prayer of that happening.

GPU solo mining is also pretty pointless.

Welcome to the forum.

Liberty Payout, didn't you make a thread titled "Fuck You Guys" ?

Good luck.

Seriously, a loan for $10?  Or $40?  If you can't afford that, chances are high that you're not going to be able to repay off a "loan".  Where do all these poverty idiots come from?

Have you ever tried to buy just $10 worth of BTC? It's pretty hard to do, it makes more sense & is easier to just borrow the $10 worth of BTC when your a few bucks short for your SR medication & then pay it back when you buy your next batch of BTC.
Not to be contrary, but 4/5 of the ways I have bought and sold are just as easy with 10$ or 1000$ - which sellers are you talking about?

That's insane.

Every day I feel less bad about wanting an economic collapse to come about and smash this system, and to ruin those sorts who depend on it and use it to enact such injustice.

It was completely insane. I have to fix my earlier statements though - it's been over a decade since I discussed this with my friend. He got 6 years + 3 years supervised release. He was not charged with mail fraud, but "conspiracy to commit mail fraud" - and there weren't any actual mistakes -  it was supposedly about his business solvency - but his business was solvent the entire time. They railroaded him and destroyed his life.

It's really scary to think about how easily it could happen to any of us, if someone with pull chooses to make it happen. Scary and infuriating.

All this does is strengthen my association of "ex-con" with living in a police state. It no longer has any automatic negative connotation.

Exactly. According to this post of him, Roger apparently provoked the wrong people, and got sent to jail for a non-crime that normally is not actually punished.

It's crypto-totalitarianism. Everyone is a potential "criminal". Provoke the wrong people, and they may literally destroy your life.
This exact same thing happened to a friend of mine's dad. He ran for state political office and they threatened to destroy his life if he didn't quit the race. When he didn't, they trumped up some absolute garbage about how the insurance company he owned sent some business paperwork with mistakes in it through the mail, constituting mail fraud. He spent 10 years in jail. The case was complete nonsense, his business was the very clean, and everyone involved knew it. Our "justice" system is a joke.

This is well known.  We still support Roger 100% with his support of bitcoin.

All this does is strengthen my association of "ex-con" with living in a police state. It no longer has any automatic negative connotation.

I really don't understand roman's behaviour. From what perspective does it make sense to stop communicating like this? Is he just disillusioned?
That's my guess.  Heck, if I had $250k that I had to recover through monthly profits in the 4 digits, I'd probably be pretty discouraged as well.

It's really, really sad.

Yes very sad. This exchange seems to be dying the death of a thousand cuts. Let's review current unfavorable recent changes to the site:

  • Currently can't withdraw any cash
  • Currently can't make cash deposits
  • No longer able to view market depth data on site

I don't know how it would be possible to continue to run a market/exchange under these conditions. Liquidity will continue to evaporate.
If they were indefinite, maybe, but since you'll be able to withdraw in a few days, things will be back to normal.

Dealing with these problems is inevitable in the war against banking cartels. It's no fault of the site operator.

Really? You're offering nothing for them? If I'm not willing to type the codes into a website for actual rewards, why would I be willing to type them into this website for no rewards?
 
To be nice. If you don't, I'm not going to twist your arm over it, but I thought it'd be a shot in the dark.
Can you send a few bucks to my BTC address? To be nice? Don't worry, I'm not going to twist your arm over it.

MtGox staff must consider themselves "too big to fail" and therefor "too big to care." Are they your only feasible trading option ziomik?
It is not the only source of bitcoin for me and this has caused me much trouble, but that does not mean that I should take the situation lightly.
I was not implying that you should - quite the opposite, I was implying you should stop using them completely if you can.
