South africa is hilariously corrupt, I'm sure anyone who wants to front the cash to the local police force can have Clipse delivered to them...

Yes South Africa sucks, I'd never invest one satoshi in that hell hole of a backwards armpit.

All the miners down there are on strike, no wonder Clipse absconded with all the bitcoins!   Cry

You've got much bigger fish to fry than starting yet another pool.  Keep it (your business model) clean and simple, we have enough pools with strange Byzantine rules (cough, BonusPool, cough).  This thread is already getting filled with ZOMGPonziScam drama.  

I agree, I should definitely not be giving added value to miners that isnt available to them from the other pools. Shame on me.

I would love to understand how you got to the byzantine part without thread crapping here so if you wish to elaborate on that feel free to pm or post in the bonuspool thread.

Oversensitive much Clipse?  I'd love to post in your BonuScamPool thread, but you locked it a long time ago.  Cute!

You sure have done a good job "giving added value to miners that isnt available to them from the other pools."   Cheesy

Hey, maybe you can sell CoinLab your PenaltyPool software.  It has decent stats and you don't seem to be using it!   Grin

9843  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bonuspool - Discussion on: October 12, 2012, 06:28:29 PM
Yeah.. I am owed nothing compared to a chunk of you guys.... Hopefully everything works out

Some of us are still mining at Bonuspool.. (not me). I think that's insane.

Some of us realized that when the odd "Investment Option" scheme was imposed.

Or even earlier, like when Clipse was spending more energy complaining about too much hash power being directed to his pool than beefing up the server.

A N D.  I T ' S.  G O N E.

Maybe the name should be changed to PenaltyPool?   Cheesy

The Drama!  Grin

Probably one of my favorite forum quotes:

If Bitcoin was backed by drama the price would be stratospheric.

What do you mean "if Bitcoin was backed by drama?"
9845  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [708 Gh] MtRed (PPS, LP+, API, 0 FEE) Merged Mining Test LIVE on: October 09, 2012, 08:16:41 PM
I've been mining and donating and happy with mtred for quite a while, and I know there is only limited time to dedicate to this pool. However I'd like to ask if there are plans to modernise it in light of likely upcoming changes to the bitcoin mining scene at large? Specifically if stratum support and higher difficulty shares would be considered, as the current hardware seems to struggle under the existing load and with a huge boost in hashrate it cannot be reasonably expected to survive. These 2 changes would likely make it survive 10x the hashrate without any change to the hardware.

I second that emotion.  Stratum has spoiled me and there's no going backwards to olde-timey getworks.

We now have no idea how many of our bitcoins you've lost!

That's actually in the log book. You just have to move the tab to the current week.

The current week is actually not in the log book.  Last entry is for 9/28, actually.
9851  Economy / Securities / Re: [Investment fund] Gamma Bitcoin Fund [Closing] on: October 03, 2012, 11:07:13 PM
DeadTerra,

I have not put in a request for withdrawal, but it is not fair to those who have to strip them of their higher priority.

Months ago, I asked you to focus on the GBF instead of getting distracted by various IPOs.

You agreed (and thus I invested) back then, yet you then proceeded to waste your time and our bitcoins on various unrelated scammy/gimmicky nonsense projects.

You never updated the OP to reflect the recent negative returns.  You don't even update the google docs weekly. 

We now have no idea how many of our bitcoins you've lost!

Your constant excuses of "I'm too tired, I'm too busy, I'm too sick" are childish and unacceptable.

You have plenty of time for the latest shiny things that catch your attention, but not for your investment fund?  Again, not acceptable.

And now, despite owing your long-suffering investors 1000s of bitcoins, you are buying overpriced silver bullion from a Jr Member in another thread!

Am I the only one that finds such behavior galling?

I don't want to be payed back in drips and dribbles.  And I don't want to hear about how wonderful your intentions were.

Your actions are those of a con artist, especially the latest excuse of "circumstances have changed, so withdrawal requests are retroactively being dishonored."

The GBF should have been your highest, if not only, priority.  Instead you have been treating it (and us investors) as an afterthought, not worthy of FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY.

You seem to be completely unfamiliar with the concept, so here is an excellent, concise definition:

Quote
http://www.efmoody.com/arbitration/fiduciary.html

In the handling of money and when one acts as a corporate or individual trustee, there is a fiduciary responsibility owed to the principal party.

It is defined as a relationship imposed by law where someone has voluntarily agreed to act in the capacity of a "caretaker" of another's rights, assets and/or well being.

The fiduciary owes an obligation to carry out the responsibilities with the utmost degree of "good faith, honesty, integrity, loyalty and undivided service of the beneficiaries interest."

The good faith has been interpreted to impose an obligation to act reasonably in order to avoid negligent handling of the beneficiary's interests as well the duty not to favor ANYONE ELSE'S INTEREST (INCLUDING THE TRUSTEES OWN INTEREST) over that of the beneficiary.

Further, if the agent should find him/herself in a position of conflicting interests, the agent must disclose the dual agency (acting for two parties at the same time) or risk being accused of constructive fraud in regards to both or either principals. 

Good day, sir!

.onion addresses are long and not human memorable.

Mapping a short, catchy .bit url to an onion address would help TOR ease-of-use.

9854  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: [BitcoinMax.com] Closed on: September 28, 2012, 08:33:53 PM
A contract is a contract. payb.tc made a single account with Pirate, and deposited funds through it. There is NO reason that should change.

A circular statement is circular.  Stating the obvious is not an argument.

We are all well aware payb.tc made a single account with Pirate, it was (note the past tense) for a PPT fund called BitcoinMax.

Your opinion of what "should" or should not change has nothing to do with this.  The reality of the situation is that pirate has defaulted.

Payb.tc and BitcoinMax are now (note the present tense) as irrelevant as the co-conspirators of Madoff and their defunct feeder funds.  IE, his only role now is accurately reporting the facts of his PPT so that the debtor (pirate) may rectify to the extent possible his debts with this creditors.

Either that, or Payb.tc becomes the debtor and is on the hook to all those he helped rip off. 

Make your choice, and for the love of Satoshi stop living in the past.  BitcoinMax is dead and gone, and no amount of stubborn whinging will bring it back.

9856  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: [BitcoinMax.com] Closed on: September 28, 2012, 07:30:37 PM

there is one bitcoinmax account with pirate, where payment is awaited


Wrong.  There was one bitcoinmax account with pirate.  Not anymore.  No longer. 

How thick must one be to still not understand and accept the difference between the pre-default past and the post-default present?   Roll Eyes

Things have changed.  There is no more BS&T, and thus there are no more PPT funds. 

This is between pirate (the debtor) and his creditors now, unless payb.tc wants to accept full responsibility and take the consequences that come along with it.

He can't have it both ways, so he must make a good faith effort to comply with the terms of the liquidation or get a scammer tag.



9857  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Beware, MtGox arbitrarily freezing verified accounts on: September 28, 2012, 02:54:49 AM

 - My account is verified
- You have a copy of my passport
 - You sent a Yubikey to my home address
 - My account didn't go to an "Unverified" state, it went to "Fully locked". Right now I can not withdraw even a single bitcent.

If you want to somehow unverify my account because the documenation I submitted isn't enough anymore then fine, but take me to "Unverified", not "Locked down".

Additionnaly if there are additional verification requirements since September 2011 you should have notified me in advance, let me decide whether I wanted to comply or take my business elsewhere. But CERTAINLY NOT freeze my account and lock my funds without any kind of police report or accountability.

I do not think it is bad to have stringent AML requirements, it's even necessary. But the way they are implemented in my particular case is not acceptable. I refuse to see my money frozen arbitrarily and instantly.


I've taken the liberty of boldfacing and underlining the part where your problem is.  By complying with these intrusive instruments of state coercion you feed the beast, and thus lose any sympathy I otherwise naturally would have had for a fellow bitcoin user.

Boycott these jackboot licking business, or you deserve all the negative consequences resulting from your embrace of the Money Nazi regime!

The quantum computer both exists and doesn't

If you calculate exactly how unlikely it is for a quantum computer to exist, it will spontaneously appear (and start mining qubitcoins)!

Or at least that's what I heard from a guy on btce chat...
9859  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS]: Green piece of paper on: September 21, 2012, 06:37:35 PM
It also has a picture of a dead guy on the front and arcane occult symbols on the back. That seems to give it value to some people.

Most unhappy people are concerned with the movements of such small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn’t the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy.
