maybe that they all are using bootstrap?

Do they look like that?

Here are some facts:
* Pirate owes a great deal of money and has defaulted.
* Pirate has not communicated a repayment plan since his first announcement that said it should take a week.
* Pirate is one of the original investors, founders and at one time a director in GPUMAX, LLC.

We are all free to make our own choices and that is great. It's fine if pool ops don't care whether they do business with someone who is an accused and suspected scammer.
What I can't seem to make sense of is that while they are hiding behind freedom of choice for their pool members, they are denying their own freedom of choice. Pool ops are smart people in general. I don't think they would purposely deny their freedom of choice.

They should just say, " I care more about making money than the community, or potential victims or a scam" than to use lame excuses like adults are free to do what they want or they don't have to take part.

It's not about the miners. It's about you pool op. What is your choice? Community or profit? Victims or self? Justice or Money?

I'd like to know so I can make mine when selecting a pool.

 

Sure. You should be able to do that. Let me ask though...since in the title you use 'GPU' and in the text you use 'card'. Are any or all of the cards dual GPU?

I am invited to GPUMax, but have temporarily retired from mining. So exactly how big are you? I am 5'7". Not very big, but I am hoping you are smaller because I'd like to know.

You had me at hello.


Wait, now what is it we do?

He made a few guest appearances on the the IRC channel today...though not much information was gleaned. See below for excepts:

<Anduck> when do u think u can start paying, about eta?
<@pirateat40> Anduck, I really thought this initial process would happen faster than it has.

<Swashy> @pirateat40 is a buy blocker.
<EmanuelDeOrtego> Wait
<EmanuelDeOrtego> So pirate needs more Bitcoins
<Swashy> Who doesn't?
<EmanuelDeOrtego> The question is
<EmanuelDeOrtego> does he need more to pay his investors
<pickett> yeah but he REALLY needs more bitcoins
<+grubles> darn it who hilighted me
<+jcpham> grubles
<+grubles> you guys are clogging up my backlog
<+jcpham> it wasn't me
<DutchBrat> shouldn't pirate be a block buyer ?
<bitfoo> DutchBrat: see gpumax
<@pirateat40> Swashy, its going to get interesting the next two days.

<AnonX> latest update on pirate: jack sh** [censored]
<DutchBrat> jack sparrow you mean
* pirateat40 sets mode: +b *!*@ti0011a380-dhcp3917.bb.online.no
* AnonX was kicked by pirateat40 (You're not welcome here!)
<@pirateat40> AnonX sorry, nothing new

And that's basically it.

It was #bitcoin

Greetings all,

I decided to start a meetup group for bitcoin in Naperville, IL to discuss your bitcoin and digital commerce projects or just to mingle will fellow bitcoiners.

This is open to people of all experience levels and all involvement levels of bitcoin, not just miners, investors, developers, or crypto-enthusiasts. There is already a group in Chicago, so this is for all those who do not want to travel into the city for some great bitcoin discussions.

Seeing that this is an open community, please join now and put in your suggestion for the first meetup. In one more week I will collect all the feedback and announce our launch meeting.

http://www.meetup.com/NapervilleBitcoinGroup/ to sign up.

We will meet monthly in Naperville once we get rolling.

I look forward to meeting you there.

I can point you to pictures of at least 10GH worth of equipment that he purchased from me....though I am not sure what the argument is or how it was started or what this proves.

Just saying, he is a miner and has a farm of GPUs. I trust that the total amount of GH is what he represents. If not, it will be larger than he told you shortly. You can take my word for it.

But they could post a giant btc qr code that people could scan and send funds with their cell phones. 1 out of every 1000 persons may have a wallet app. What do others think about the rate of mobile wallets to population?

shhh. I'm still in escrow on my island.

"Lose the panic button."
"Forget the panic button."
"Go trolling, we got this."
"We got this."
"Fubar no more."
"The host with a happy ending."

Wasn't sure if you wanted public acknowledgement, but since you posted I would like to acknowledge and say to all on the forums for future reference that all BTC were received promptly and it was a real pleasure to deal with Imsaguy.

Not that he really needs it, but I will vouch for him any time.

And a big thanks to you, Imsaguy!

a pair of Alpaca socks. "Quit using me as an example, damnit!"

Thanks. You want to meet them? I can hook you up.

I ran them on USB drives using a Live Debian and cgminer. They run right around 3GH each.

here's the actual current screen shot at their home....one was removed for the shoot in the 1st post.

UPDATE: the lot has been sold and was picked up locally.

I have 3 high quality rigs with great mining parts only running since March in a controlled data center in Oakbrook, IL, USA.
$4800 gets the lot, including shipping to C-USA. Payment accepted in BTC preferrably. Escrow with HashKing or another provider we can both agree to.

Never overvolted, ran very minimally overclocked for stability and down-mem to reduce power consumption. These pull 1050 on the Kill-A-Watt with the mobo configured properly. I am upgrading to new technologies and want to clear some cap room.
