In future when Bitcoin dominates the universe and 1 satoshi costs a lot, pirate40 will repent sincerely and invest 0.01 btc into research of time machine.... then he will collect painfully all the stolen coins and send them back to the trusted community member in a box with his apologies...
So my guess is stolen coins and a letter from pirate
Nope! Real box. Real game from 1985. A side panel of the box reads: Combine your love of problem solving with the thrills, mystery and swashbuckling adventure of a real pirate treasure hunt. I did not make up the above, and will offer proof of such text later. The contents is the box rattle when shoke.

Wow, this is by far the most elaborate scam I've seen so far. Damn!
You haven't seen much during your lifespan then. A while back I posted several relevant questions, in post #204. They have answered several times since then, but never addressed these. That should be enough scam-evidence on this site, to get them banned! (Any mods here who'd care to explain or chime in?) Correct, they haven't answered that yet but others has. Either way, which relates a bit to the first quote... a real scammer can and will provide you with all that you ask for in that post, so at the end of the day it doesn't mean jack. The only thing that matters in the end is demo of a prototype, at which point they can still run with all preorder money. BTW. With 3 degrees of separation on Linked in, you have basically covered close to every random person. On the much larger Twitter, the average random person is separated by 3.4 persons! Thus the wankers using that as a criteria for being serious connections should also get banned! I'm also third degree with Andreas. My colleague who is directly connected with both him and me, have met him in person and sits next to me at my office since 2 years... wouldn't call that random. I should probably be banned for this then... Magnussoncole IT HB, registered 2011 (969753-6960). Kennemar & Cole AB, registered 2012 (556880-5823). kennemarandcole.se is reversed to 194-18-235-165.customer.telia.com (Telia is a swedish internet provider). All the companies are properly registered with VAT registrations and names/addresses which correlates in some form or shape. Their office at Drottninggatan 71C is a company hotel aka "rent-a-office". Amazingly, none of the four principles ever mentioned their sole viable entity(s) on their Facebook pages, with only recently liking kncminer.com kandc.se was not even a page found on the internet until less than a month ago, now linking to their other related sites.

Dear Bruno, Instawallet has always worked like a shared wallet, nothing has ever changed in this respect. The fact you used to see coins remain at the deposit address simply means that : - there used to be less coin turnover, - the cold storage was less used, - any combination of the previous reasons. Some stuff does change though, you used to get your transaction ID back immediately when sending coins, that's not the case anymore, sends are now asynchronously handled by a background worker. That's much more secure in terms of potential race conditions, much more robust in terms of infrastructure, much more maintenable (since now I can simply stop the worker, do some work on bitcoind and switch it back on). The traffic also increases a lot, to give you an idea, our average weekly turnover is around 10kBTC in, and 10kBTC out, it recently peaked at around 50kBTC/week. Your wallet has exactly the amount you expect to be available, you can't rely on blockchain.info to tell you how much is available in an account on a shared wallet. This is how your balance is calculated : ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F52452135%2FCapture%2520d%25E2%2580%2599%25C3%25A9cran%25202013-03-17%2520%25C3%25A0%252001.00.31.png&t=663&c=kxutu1YqtR3dIg) Hope it's clearer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Another request of Team InstaWallet to put us at ease: May we have the police report number please?

The box is prominently colored black with silver and white lettering, still wrapped in its original plastic shrinkwrap.
At some point, I will take a pic of it, offering up an image to prove it exist and is in my possession.
The word pirate is written on the box at least once.

"newly formed" ASIC companies + 1
they should have to provide more details. There should be a sticky that has number of important questions. So we can see if they are real deal.. Regards Brian
Q1: What is your real name? A1: Even if I gave my real name, that doesn't prove I'm not a scam? Q2: What country are you currently in? A2: Africa. See, we play nice, thus being fully transparent. Q3: Who's doing your filmware? A3: Our business plan is so unique that we are shipping without filmware upon finding out that some people prefer one filmware guy over another. Q4: Name an animal that starts with the letter c. A4: Snail.

artixminer.com based in Kenya in 5...4...3... Ok, so we are another Bitcoin miner outfit coming out of nowhere, but we are not a scam. We will not take any money till we tell you we're ready, with our product line that is.
My partner and I have been mining bitcoins for several months now and we came up with the idea of Artix-based miners when we saw what the ASIC guys were NOT doing.
Sign up for our Newsletter and here is our VAT number: BR549.

I mean think about this one tweet (it was like a Q and A type deal) Has the ASIC firm got back to you on why they think just the chip is running about twice as much power as expected, and will power consumption come down for wafers 76+?" We are in process with that. We have a theory as to what's going on and we're trying to confirm that's what happened at the foundry and if so, it bodes very well for us Just ponder on that for a moment. 1. Evades the question straight away. 2. "That's what's happened at the foundry" - as in "we need the foundry to fix it and give us more chips". 3. classic BFL, "it bodes very well for us" - how in the world does a problem in the manufacture of the chip (or the chip design, it's not clear) bode well? He meant bowl's well. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcTOG4KVZn2hDJqRrqpjyJYmnPawQ1FVJJl1HRJIKkkR_fCMIXUQ&t=663&c=8xEdo9FiUrAu2Q) There is not so many detail known about the board, but some things stinks here too. Maybe they outsourced the board design as well. Surely, they're not using the only PCB outfit in Chicago owned by Greeks who have relatives in KC, are they?

Meet the Qween of Våporbürg. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi48.tinypic.com%2Foj3v3r.jpg&t=663&c=j87DUesIWVX2YQ) Is it possible that this woman works in the PCB facility in Chicago?

I fear this is something I won't remember as it was before my time ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I don't believe it was a major product on the market, hence not finding anything on the internet. Somebody surely would have mentioned it by now. The outfit that put it out had an Inc. address in Denver.

...but we are confident that this Panic Sell will be temporarily and that Bitcoin will rise again. I don't think they should have said that. Another thing I find bothersome is the overuse of the terms dDos, attack(s), et al. It's like they're trying really hard to drive that point into our heads. I'm not sure, but the best practice would be to mention it once, and maybe only touch upon it again ever so slightly, driving the server aspect home, and not even mentioning the above quote. But what the hell do I know? I'm just a guy with a... I smell bacon, BWB!

Hrmmm D&D?
No. The contents of the box is stated on the one of the side panels, but that doesn't negate the statement of wondering what's inside.

A dead cat? Which is simultaneously alive until you open the box?
It seriously is a game. The measurements of the box is 5 1/4" X 3 1/4" X 2 3/4". ©1985

I'm not drunk, but I swore this was a new thread entitled The Dank Thread, but after reading the first post, I realized I've been here before.
Is it possible to be drunk while sober?

I have a box I've never opened. It's a game, of sorts. I've yet to find any information about the game on the internet. I wonder what's inside. Care to make a guess?

Carrier-IQ + Hughes satellite would explain a lot of things.

I am going to throw my hat into the ring, for 5500 BTC I can build a forum software package in php. I could even work full time for the forum in the IT department. I even get theymos coffee.
That is my offer and it is a legit offer.
And I will get you coffee while working on the HTML and CSS part of the forum. What I don't know, I will ask, e.g., what's the HTML hex code for the color orange? Working together, we could have a groovy looking site, and to speed it up all we'll have to do is put it on Mt. Gox's server. Seriously, with the exception of the other day, she's been runnin' pretty smoothly, and I haven't had any errors for a good long time now. Can you imagine the forum we would have had using the $5M lost due to exchange rate decrease, and still have $5M in the coffer? BitcoinTalk would be the forum all other forums would look up to. Maybe some day. ~Bruno K~ A drop of milk, a teaspoon of sugar. BTW that is #ff0000. Imagine a forum that is just crazy colors, has no reason for orange and yellows. Also I just need one Gox Server and this will be running smoother than any forum on this internet. $5million for forum software, it be the peak of my career and then I would retire. Then I call up pirate, cause I don't even know how I would spend $5million, maybe get a boat. I thought FF0000 is red, but had to Google it to make sure--it is. Speaking of crazy, for future revenue, set up a page like this one: http://anselme.homestead.com/AFPHAITI.html

I'd rather pay someone else to do it since I don't want to give them access to my youtube account. Use the free service, create a bogus YT account, snatch the video from that account and put it on your desired account, if that's your goal.

I would recommend John for this service. The only other person I would recommend (off the top of my head) to do the same is Rassah. SERIOUSLY!!!
Good luck, John, with this endeavor.
Full Disclosure: I only read the first couple posts of this thread.
