What has fundamentally changed that Bitcoins had to go to 266? The infrastructure is shit, the client is shit, the network scales like shit and the first serious possible future Bitcoin competitor has emerged.

There's SR, and now there's SD. Anything significant besides that?

Why won't he turn up here and explain the endgame to us? Surely we are nearing it.

Also, isn't it funny how the chart from the past just keeps updating and may apply to the current situation again?

WHAT IS THE ENDGAME? Grin

Let's see how cocky bulls will be in the following minutes and hours. Grin

If you're a bull after this you are mentally challenged.
It all depends on the price. Buying at 10 cents! Grin

Don't be bothered by TA skeptics and always bullish people, this is a rich and extensive analysis considering it's free. Keep it up.

Let me counter all of your retarded conspiracy theories with a post of mine from the moderator forum way back from July, where I am suggesting the ban of Rarity.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=43081

Troll from SA, mentioned somewhere in the late pages of this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3486823

Though it's really obvious anyway.

You better get your shit together, or people will hunt me for vouching for you. Grin

I'm sorry for this and I know we have never really conversed on the forum before but I fucking hate you now.
Honestly, things were much worse when he registered a new account every day that had to be spotted, ignored and banned every time anew.

Agreed.

As I recently posted,

Well, I can't say that the most successful bitcoin ventures haven't consisted of hacking, stealing and defrauding people. It's easy, risk free and extremely lucrative. Kind of too good to be true. Grin

If it's true and people don't find a way to make it more risky (find and punish some of the criminals, for instance), I guess Bitcoin would constitute a negative sum game in which all honest participants lose. I wonder how long such a thing could last.

I think I said similar things back when Bitcoinica was hacked. If the winners of a systems are those that destroy value, the system will not last.

I retract my statement, he is not mentally ill.

Just an ordinary scammer.
2533  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [PENDING] Scammer: Matthew N. Wright on: September 09, 2012, 02:42:38 PM
That's not that funny... Why pried yourself on such a thing?
Because he is mentally ill. He shouldn't have the ability to enter contracts.
2534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Price of PPCoin[PPC] on: September 09, 2012, 01:54:05 PM
Should have a negative worth. The creators of scamcoins should pay the Bitcoin devs.

Its pretty much dead for me now for that reason.

Im not interested in promoting a system where the richest people are scammers and my efforts go towards making them richer. I may as well use fiat in that case  Cheesy

Litecoin at least doesnt have one scammer with 2.5% of all the coins in existence.



Sorry to hear you feel that way. I wish I had any arguments to convince you and myself otherwise. Sad

The forum post and agreement to enter the bet qualifies as contract. GPG or not doesn't matter.

Contracts need to be signed, or else they're just words.

The signature proves that you agreed to it.

Wow, I'll be sure to never do business with you then if you think this is not a contract, not binding, and not adhering to it is not a scam.
2538  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Who got paid from Matthew N. Wright famous bet : 0/112 Total 0/79947.58 on: September 09, 2012, 12:06:08 PM

A contract is nothing but an agreement between parties. If Matthew entered the agreement with the intent to never honor it, he is a scammer. Simple.

Matt isn't defrauding anyone, even if he just posts "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!" and logs off, never to be seen again. Welching on a bet is a dick move, but not a scam.
Why the hell do you think this is not defrauding anyone? He defrauded all parties who have entered his contract. He set up the contract with the knowledge that he doesn't have the money and with the intent to never pay out, but pocket possible winnings.

To me, that is clear fraud. A clear scam. But perhaps in libertopia, things are different.

I bet there will be a repeat of the pirate-default. A lot of FUD and then nothing.


Exactly. What will happen when Matt doesn't pay? Nothing at all. And THAT is his lesson to the community.
So the lesson is that people can scam this community without fearing any consequences. Shocked
