Also by your statement HF never intended to fully refund everyone from Batch 1 after their missed deadline. They had some money for some of the customers, but not for all. So they broke their own ToS by not having money for everyone from Batch 1. Am I reading this correct? HF took money for 4(?) batches and never had any plan/back-up plan to fully refund everyone from Batch 1.

My refund checks were BOUNCED at Chase

You make it sound like the customers money belonged to HF before they shipped the product. I disagree.

Exactly. The customers are not investors, the customers are paying for a product the company is selling to be delivered by a specific date (to which they added a clause to change from "October 20-30" to if not "by December 31" after I placed my personal order), and when the company further reneged on their side of the contract by not delivering and/or refunding per their contractual terms and the customers get nothing back, the customers unequivocally got SCREWED by the company.

I have no sympathy for HashFast.

Shortly before the hearing adjourned, Montali expressed his puzzlement in the entire affair and wondered why the company simply didn't just convert its Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection into a Chapter 7, which allows a company to liquidate under American bankruptcy law.

"The observation that I’ve had since Day 1: I've expressed the unusualness of this new business called Bitcoin coming into our old familiar bankruptcy world, and I find it beyond belief that someone who understands Bitcoin wouldn't have the slightest interest under the bankruptcy code," Judge Montali said. "I'm going to defer to the judgement of the committee and the judgement of the debtor."

Weren't we first converted from chapter 7 to chapter 11?

    Yup, anyone looking for a summary of what has happened so far this is my take...  

    After being forced into chapter 7 Hashfast delayed for a month then filed a motion asking the judge to convert the case to chapter 11 which they are entitled to do under bankruptcy law.

Not that it matters at this point, but who approved Hashfast's request to convert to chapter 11? Judge Montali? I know I should know this but this question is part rhetoric, part self-prescribed ignorance.

    Yes, Judge Montali approved it.  It was of course the decision of Hashfast management to file it in the first place.  This was before the creditors had any collective representation to oppose it. 

He should now have at least a glimpse of an answer as to why Hashfast management didn't just stay in Chapter 7. Hopefully this helps us creditors re: litigation.

Dark and Monero arent enemies

They are, however, competitors for dominance of the most defensible liquidity niche in all of crypto.  Liquidity points to drk.  Security points to xmr.

what is the difference in value between DRK's security/privacy as compared to XMR's?

Is there a way to make Monero botnet proof?

I would argue that a bigger concern might be mining centralization.

Is there anything stopping CryptoNote blockchains from storing information the same way Bitcoin 2.0 projects depend on the Bitcoin blockchain do?

No, but curious whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I read a theory once that the world's pyramids were created to enslave humanity to use only 10% of their brains.

This guy had mapped out years ago pyramid's that I had never heard of and he said the grid was like a prison so humans could be controlled and made slaves to entertain the beings that created all these ancient pyramids thousands of years ago, then he put out some math showing how the ancient Giza pyramid was based upon the largest astrological number in our solar system and there was no way Egyptians knew about the number that had only been discovered around 100 years or so ago.

Then he connected the pyramids to pentagrams and showed how mass loss of life events were always on ley lines connected to the pyramids.

Pretty out there stuff, but he did a great job building the case that there was an energy grid controlling human minds to only 10% use of their brains. Years later I saw a show on those new huge pyramids they discovered I think in Turkey and sure enough the scientists have confirmed now all these ancient pyramids are radiating energy they cannot explain with modern science.

His solution was simple, he purposed knocking down every pyramid to stop the power grid from controlling humanity so humanity doesn't destroy itself.

That seems to be a case of finding what you want to find, if you look in enough different and unrelated places lol.
Where did you see that about pyramids radiating energy that can't be explained? Is there a source for that, or is it from the History Channel? xD



I'm not familiar enough to comment any further on the above, but a lot of the symbolism in the actual movie Lucy that people seem to miss are the Luciferian (as in that of gnostic, "Light-bringer" origins) themes.

In this thread alone I have written a book of evidence supporting said 'Evidence', including THE mathematical equations, that can be properly studied reading john dee (007 - mi5) - astrologer to the queen of the times.. you would even go as far as say it is occultism, yet it is from all said sect's book's. Freemasonry, and hence catholic/protestant/jewish faiths are all ACTIVELY succeeding, using their ritual's, in re-creating the dark ages, as witnessed all over the world. You preach for the one god who strangles anyone who gets in the way.. it's your way or no way.. The TETRAGRAMMATON is better than that no?

I mean come on, what more proof do we need than this:

INRI (formula) = Yod Hay Vau Hey = Yaweh. Ja? (this is the three corner pathway of the emerald tablet's of thoth)

Baal = Cananite fertility god. Freemasons are experimenting with turning mankind into heomaphrodite's, they have all the time in the world..  This explains the debauchery that is now accepted by all western religions, and why the east attack it. Sodom and Gomorah anyone?

On = Osirus, or Sirius, also known as ANUBIS, opener of the way.. Represented by the Dog star Sirius, AKA the Sphinx.

I have provided ALL the most important evidence there is at my disposal, in this thread. It can be found online.

And when we all speak the same language, the wall's will come tumbling down.. for then you'll have the proof of what I have written of exclusively in this thread.

And you'll come to learn..

I AM.

Edit:

ALL SEEING.

You know eye exist as one with you all, no ye not your pathway will fall?


Reposting just to make it clear, I do not condone having faith in any catholic/protestant/jewish masonic puppet's having faith in god, the Tetragrammaton, by definition of THEIR book's, this IS the evidence..

Edit:

And when the mathematical maths of 'let he who hath understanding, reckon the number of the beast..' show's you that the light is of fire, you learn the light of truth IS 666, God and Devil are the TETRAGRAMMATON, ie, JaBaalOn. Now you see the light in physical form, in front of your eye's. It's maths are built into every church, synagog, mosque.. wherever they worship their god, they worship THIS FACT.

The Gnostic deity Abraxas is used as a symbol throughout the text, idealizing the interdependence of all that is good and evil in the world. Demian argues that Jehovah, the Jewish God, is only one face of God; it rules over all that is wholesome, but there is another half of the world, and an infinite god must encompass both sides of this world. The symbol of Abraxas appears as a bird breaking free from an egg or a globe.

However, depending how far you get into Jewish mysticism, this was accounted for:

Get a copy of the Bible in your native language. Get as modern of a translation as you can, one that emulates the language that you use. Read the Gospels, the first 4 books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Then read Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament. Then read the whole New Testament except the Revelation.

Get all of the above firmly set in your mind. Then read the whole Bible over several times, reading the Gospels more frequently.

Smiley

This chart will compare the difference between the Minority Text (which are based upon mainly 2 corrupted New Testament manuscripts) and the Majority Text (which are based upon over 5,000 New Testament manuscripts).
For this study, the King James Version (KJV) New Testament will be used, since the KJV is based upon the Majority Text, and all bibles that use the Majority Text are relevant to these readings. The KJV will be compared to the New International Version (NIV) New Testament, since the NIV is based upon the Minority Text, and almost all bibles published since 1898 are relevant to these readings because they are based upon these same corrupted manuscripts.

The big flood that was supposed to have killed everything on the planet.

Why doesn't the Bible talk about Atlantis and Lemuria? And why does mainstream science ALSO ignore this?

Food for thought.  Wink

Why do you think it doesn't (re: Atlantis, at least)?

The seeding/original intention of an institution, I think, has a pervading effect upon its future. Just an opinion though. The point is not to be ruled by man, but by God, and churches (rather, church leaders) can blur the lines between the two in a way that we might fall prey be to like a god personified, which to me is different than us personifying God through our beings.

"As above, so below" concept, etc.

The Old Testament tells us that God doesn't change. The New Testament tells us that Jesus doesn't change, and that He is God along with His Father. The New Testament also tells us that we are found in Jesus, and He in God. So, when you put this together, we have been around forever, in Jesus. This is part of the reason that God allowed the world to exist after sin had been found in it. God is giving us the chance to remain in Jesus. Many folks have used their God-power to remove themselves from God, through their denial of Him, thereby causing their own destruction.

God is simplicity, yet God is complexity at the same time. Explaining how and why the above fits together won't be easy. Perhaps it isn't entirely possible for us in our human condition to explain.

Smiley

I can dig that Smiley

But I still hold reservations. Yes we are derivatives of God/Jesus and that might've been Jesus's, et al.'s mission here for us to understand that, and though anyone can serve as the One for us at any point, my reservation is because each man is inherently at at different personal points on the Way, as such, you can never reliably know if what they say in as immediately true relative to your reality/way, whereas with things that simply are, you can depend on its Truthfulness at any time.

It's like playing telephone to me, I guess. I can get it from some guy and hope that his interpretation however far down the chain, it still has the original message not too obfuscated, or I can look for my Truth, myself. It's like when I hear something from another man, I dedicate mental faculty towards the whys he says what he says to understand where he's coming from, and only then can I get closer to Truth, whereas if I don't and just take it on authority/whatever cognitive bias, reality distortion can set in. I do understand that sooner or later people might come out from that "better", but it's easy not to get so sidetracked if you remember your own Way. In other words, being around another person enough, inevitably they'll say something faulty, and if you're not aware, it's easy that that faultiness can propagate and start more cycles/lessons on Truth we have to learn.

I hope I got my dilemma out understandably enough. I think there's a difference in the follower who takes what a man says as 100% true versus a follower that listens and tries to resolve that into his own Truthful paradigm.
