1) GDAX is not complicated.

2) I don't think you can find an exchange more poorly suited for currency trading than Coinbase.

While there might be a small window where you'd be able to profit a tiny bit from one of these ICOs, there is also an 85% chance you will lose everything you've invested.  The risk/reward with ICO investing makes it so that no sane person who is able to do math and takes the time to research this sector would possibly consider making an investment.

I’m a bit surprised someone hasn’t created an altcoin and had it be distributed according to the merit recipients list.

Bitcoin Core will let you send fees for cheap.  My last transaction cost me $0.02 to send.  The only downside is that you have to download the entire blockchain.

I've sold off the D3 miners as they were not very profitable and seemed to be producing more heat than they were worth.  This should allow for a cooler and more profitable operation throughout the summer as electricity rates and cooling requirements rise.

Sold. 

No.  I can't imagine something like that would be possible for me where I am.  Sounds cool though.

I've left you negative trust as a result of you not responding to repeated requests for comment after funds were placed in escrow for these coupons.  I will be refunding the buyer in a matter of hours if you do not respond.

Yup.

Ravencoin (X16R) has been added to whattomine.com - which should be helpful in attracting new miners.

Always better to store coins at a wallet where only you own the private key as long as you take appropriate safety and security measures.

Last time I looked the peel value on something like this was around 125 BTC because of all the forks. It will be hard to find someone willing to take all the risks involved with paying that sort of premium. Amazing that you’ve held it this long. Congratulations! I hope you get a great outcome from it.

5 complete 4-coin sets remaining.

Yes.  These coins have also been added to the NastyShop but I didn't have the frosted version listed since they are nearly sold out.

7 sets remaining.

I would agree with others about the price but it's not totally unreasonable.  Materials for that job likely cost under two grand and it sounds like a 2-man 1 or 2-day job.  I'd think that you would be able to find someone to do it for around $5,000 if you searched and went with a handyman type.  Without knowing too much and making an educated guess, $8,000 sounds like you'll be paying around $200/hr labor per person.

That's pretty cool. 

I'm honored to have been immortalized in this fashion but still 'salty' over losing out on the miner painting. 

Mjbmonetarymetals made some pretty good looking promotional stuff for those who shall not be named.  I've found him to be affordable and excellent to work with.  Maybe he could be asked to do something similar for Bitcointalk?

LOL.  You were the one who said segwit wouldn't be activated.  I said it would be.  You were wrong.  I was right.  I could give hundreds more examples where you've been wrong, but lets keep this thread on topic.  It is about aTriz being a purchased account to be used for scamming and you supporting the newly purchased account right out of the gate, using the account as a fall guy for your ALU supported scams.  I recognized this right away, and was attacked for it.  Now that I've been proven correct, I find it hard to believe that anyone could think your ratings are superior to mine.  You trusted an obvious scammer and joined forces with him for profit while people like myself were warning others.  Now that the scams have been exposed, I don't even think you are delusional enough to believe anyone should ever respect your ratings again.  Maybe you should have provided investment insurance for aTriz' scams, then you might have a leg to stand on.  As it goes now...

Is there any evidence of this claim?  Without proof, I'm ready to flat out call this ICO a scam.  Please prove me wrong by signing an address with >$7,000,000 held there.

When you act before something happens, it isn't hindsight.  You learn something new every day.  Glad I could be your teacher today.  As someone who claims their negative trust ratings are an asset to the community, you really screwed the pooch on this one.  I find it hard to believe that any intelligent objective person could find you at all credible after this latest pie in the face moment.  It's 100% clear now that no honest advertiser would come near ALU after this.
