Doesn't sound like a good idea. Reminds me of the $400 "mining rig" someone was mentioning earlier this weekend.

Bbit, do you honestly think people are paid to come here and discredit others? Trying to have a decent discussion here about an important matter and we could do without your trolling.
He's actually correct, MollyR who only has 16 posts. Sit back down little girl, and let the man speak. Yeah, try not to sound like a sexist piece of shit you ass. |

Psy's just settin 'em up and knocking them down. Think you done a good job of keeping it even-tempered out here, with some witticisms (except for anything involving stuff in somebody's butt, that's just unhygienic).

I'm guessing there a lot of people here who mine bitcoins to sell but have never bought any, which of course relates to the price decline. Spending a big chunk of 'real' money on bitcoins was always a stupidly risky move but I guess it paid off for a few people. Gold on the other hand can be very low risk if you don't subscribe to the much-maligned 'buy high, sell low' school.
I think "buy high, sell low" deserves to be maligned at every opportunity; one should never do that unless out sheer desperation to raise liquid capital. What are you trying to say here? |

I've talked to Bruce and watched his show several times, and he is a really nice guy.... From my personal experience, it seems unlikely that he is the conman everyone is claiming him to be. He has a very open and honest character... Not at all 'shady' IMO.
Are you serious? You can't think of any reason why a con man(who makes a living on getting people to trust him with their money and well-being) seems like a really nice guy? A con man who seems shady isn't a very good one. And he was a good one, no idea how much he got but he was ordered to pay back over 350k so it was a lot. Then why the hell did he get caught? I bring this point up because if Bruce was hiding ANYTHING, he wouldn't be using all his REAL INFORMATION in the first place. You guys are absolutely INSANE, and you wonder why people won't take you seriously? I agree, I think that if this guy really was a pedophile sex-trafficking mortgage scammer he would be WAY TOO SMART to just use his name like this. IDIOTS. I mean, sure he's admitted to it being true, but that's because you trolls put his back against the wall. BACK OFF, AND LET THE TRUTH COME OUT. |

Lollin' at psy.
Sure, he might have a few incrimating posts about picking up boys in child sex-trafficking hot spots, may have an unpaid $300,000 dollar judgement for scamming people out of their homes without a single customer helped and pending litigation for another $500,000, but that's only par for the course when you're a bitcoin high roller!
Is that what you aspire to? What kind of business are you doing here?

It's me, I'm the one who's hiding.
Don't worry, I've got sodas and snacks in here and will come out when good and ready.

The guy gets a $300k judgement on him from the state of Illinois, authors a treatise on picking up "boys" in global sex tourism hotspot, and you don't even raise ONE eyebrow? Like, not even a little? Come on, that's just a little shady. Not enough to burn the guy at the stake, but I would definitely need a little more than a handshake before signing any deals. |

I can't wait to see someone standing on the side of the road wearing dirty clothes and holding a cardboard sign with a bitcoin address written on it in felt pen.
Not that such an image has anything to do with this request, of course.
That photograph worth at least a few bitcoins |

It would probably take me hours to read all the Bruce Wagner threads on this forum but I will make one point
ex-conman != conman
I don't know all the facts, but calling an ex-conman a conman may not be really fair.
Exactly, but I'm glad this forum and some users have made sure that anyone still doing business with him does it with eyes wide open. I would hate to go into business with shady without any knowledge of his past. At least this drama has helped clear the air about his past. |

Please let me out  Welcome to internet jail, son. |

It is irritating indeed. However, it does protect the rest of the board from illegitimate spam and trolls.
I disagree, it takes no effort to write a script or leave a tab open. I'd rather let the wisdom of the crowd decide, and have running votes with ban thresholds for suspected spam and trolls. Or maybe a one-time registration fee... |

I must say, it's very annoying to have to actually do this. On one hand i guess i understand, but 4 hours online first ?  Where did that come from!? 4 hours is the magic robot/troll insurmountable waist high fence. 5 posts on the other hand, is just some dumb arbitrary measure... |

I'd like to be whitelisted, I'm a newbie who's less interested in the mining side of things so much as marketing bitcoin within communities on a local scale-coming up with ways to get friends who interact in real life to use them (think group marketing a la groupon)

Interpretation is not really on a factually consistent case possible. Sorry.
I understand that he has a questionable business history with respect to Bold Funding. But isn't it possible that his commitment to bitcoin is sincere? I'd like to think what we're here for is largely about making money, but doing it in a way that is sustainable. I'm not sure if a guy who made $300,000 in the mortgage debacle would be so stupid as to turn this into another pump and dump scheme. So while the jury is still out on his connection to mybitcoin, and whether or not he's cheating users out of their money, he shouldn't be prematurely castigated. |

I just hope everyone just takes enough time to carefully examine the facts on hand and comes to a rational decision-sometimes it can be too easy to arrive at a conclusion, act on it, and then be unable to change course.

Exactly, this is pretty much just forcing low-content posts just to get your count up. What a short-sighted policy.

I think they're providing us with a invaluable service, none of this fraud stuff came up before the SA people started to investigate it.
Bbit, I think you've got your head in the sand.
Where in the blue blazes do you get the idea that they are paid to troll people?? Who pays them? Why? I don't understand where you've gotten this idea from.
And please, don't start with the name calling, it wont help anything.
Will lets see they pay a "fee" to be there hmmmm I wonder if any of them get paid to do what they do ? I'm just doing what SA does when it comes to name calling. You can't be objective you got your head so far up SA's ass you wouldn't know what a troll is if it hit you in the face. Bbit I think your concerns here are totally grounded, and if there's money changing hands to destry this man's reputation it would do a lot of harm to the credibility of these trolls. Is there any more you can share about people being paid to slander this guy? I would be happy to help get the message out in what is increasingly an unfair, one-sided conversation about Bruce being a money-swindling sex tourist with only circumstantial (online) evidence to back it up. |

Its extremely annoying because the total time logged in never increases. I understand its "active" online time. But frankly the newbie forum is not that active and there isn't anything I can do to be active short of reading threads that I can't even reply to yet.
Yeah, it's SO FRUSTRATING. Gaahhhh just wish I could pariticipate in all those other threads out there, but I'm stuck in the kiddie pool hoping nobody takes a shit in it. |
