what is the best alternative to this , I can convince my traders to move with me, since all we want is some kind of escrow.
1. Proof of vehicle registration, insurance or inspection if it was done recently? Maybe that would go through? 2. Cheap phone contract bill? |

Nice to see that all ended well. Even more so considering it seemed like it wasn't a person who could afford to lose so much.

We will review the evidence with everyone else if it is provided.
What's up with the royal "we"? wasnt it like $5 back then?
Between $5-13 throughout 2012. It was around $13 when M4v3R admitted to gambling with other peoples' money, several months after Bitcoinica's collapse. And now you're staff--funny how the attraction to the forum works, eh? Yup, since around mid-2013. |

I think you're confusing me with Maciej "M4v3R" Trębacz. He was the one to gamble with Bitmarket.eu user funds on Bitcoinica. And as a tidbit of historical trivia, some of Bitcoinica's funds were stored on Mt. Gox. If you lost anything, take it up with M4v3R (I know he managed to return at least a tiny bit of money years ago, not sure if he continues on making repayments), Bitcoinica and the people behind it, Mt. Gox, and the Japanese and New Zealand's judiciaries for taking so long to sort things out. Luckily for me I withdrew any money I still had at every one of these exchanges months before they collapsed  As for my forum handle, I picked it up as a random word, I didn't intend on making more than a few posts here. I could change it to something else but since 'benevolent' is already taken, I'll leave it as it is. |

Many financial experts would even further argue that it's the sign of a competent treasurer if he can make the assets entrusted to him multiply with reasonably risk-free activities  ... Really? Multiply the assets for himself, or for the one who has entrusted him with the money? As for banks et al. that usually entails them sharing the returns with the depositors' and they provide other services your average treasurer safeguarding other peoples' money won't provide. |

Is this (rickbig41) original name of Mr. Big?
Yes, that's him. |

I know that I submitted at least this one: [NSFW] World's First Bitcoin Tattoo, can't remember if I posted any more topics but nice to see that my submission scored some points. |

Those figures in OP are ones I took from weekly data dump from theymos' raw data and loyce's club. They are not real-time figures
In the OP it says that hilariousandco only has 142 earned merits. In your 2nd post you didn't make this mistake. |

There are also several users with mod privileges on wallet software's child-boards:
ThomasV, Andreas Schildbach, Mike Hearn, goatpig, and Rassah
But they aren't treated like regular Staff members.
P.S. Some of those earned merits numbers are wrong, e.g. for my account, or for hilariousandco's.
P.P.S. Merit per post earned for posts made since the introduction of the merit system would be a better metric.

ps. i am curious whether hardware wallets are actually "fully" open source? As far as software goes, Trezor One and Trezor T are fully open source. You can also build one yourself from scratch. The microcontrollers' hardware is another matter. |

It's definitely the case for me and I'm sure it's the same for others who've been around.
I'm well aware of the piece of tat I'm buying now coming back to haunt me at a much higher price. I only buy stuff with BTC that I know will enrich my life for the foreseeable future no matter what the price will do.
I've got piece of shit laptop sleeves that broke the moment I tried to zip them up that now cost the equivalent of £250. Not doing that again. Even buying and replacing would still sting.
It's these nincompoops who wrote in 2015 about spending everything they had on their Steam library who must wander the streets punching themselves in the head and muttering to themselves. I warned 'em at the time.
Then don't spend everything  Stupid PCIe risers I bought back in 2011 would be worth more than my home if I could exchange them back to Bitcoin but I'm not going to complain - at the time it was a good investment. |

I could understand trying to help the people of North Korea use cryptocurrency, but an official government-run conference? That's like selling weapons to Stalin so he can more effectively starve his own people. I wonder what made him do this. Maybe he was just so eager to help people who requested his help that he didn't think too much about it. Or maybe he was in it for the money, but if so, this is one hell of a stupid way to try to make money.
He might be one of those /r/LateStageCapitalism far leftists, seeing the DPRK as a lesser evil to the imperialist USA.  |

the second reason is that people do not want to spend bitcoin expecting it to x100-1000
and the thought process is like this - I spend 0.01 which is 75$ now , but in ten years ,maybe this will be 750$ I don't buy this oft-repeated explanation. Who knows where the price and Bitcoin will be within a year, let alone ten years? Maybe if the price has dipped recently and someone's making a bigger purchase, otherwise 0.01 BTC is too little to worry about losing on a potential "10-1000" increase decade down the line. And I know Bitcoin has already increased 10000 between 2011 and 2017, but even now anything more than a 10x increase looks kind of ridiculous. It's not going to be increasing like it already did forever. |

you don't need to use chain analysis company for this. any block explorer website could be used to achieve this.
It could help him if he could have an expert, or someone the court would trust to be an expert, to speak on his behalf. |

Looks pretty bad for him if true, what was he thinking? And why is it only now that he's getting arrested? Looks like US authorities weren't so confident they could extradite him from Singapore and decided to wait till him flies in to the US.

If the OP wants to beat that from overseas... good luck but unlikely to happen. Anyone willing to hire someone foreign will also be looking for savings compared to local so a 65% cut would be a good deal.
Some Western companies do hire people from abroad (usually not as employees but as contractors/sole traders) for rates similar they'd pay to a local, but they are few and far between. |
