I have the pms which theymos can verify showing that he asked for an address and he would send a payment (.25btcs) which I never got. (If I get the ok from theymos that I can post the pms I will) I have been recently informed by Theymos that there is not a rule against the disclosing of personal messages stored in your inbox. So you can publish the personal messages without Theymos approval.

PH deserves a scammer label for investing customers money into pirate and claiming it was backed by his own funds which turns out to be patently false in the case of Kraken fund at least. He deserves one as much as NcKrazze and others who did exactly the same bait and switch.
Of course, where is the evidence which indicates that?

I beg your pardon, but your argument does not dismiss the fact that every person able to rationally expose his/her thoughts is entitled to offer a political view independent of his/her qualifications: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-politics/Before attempting to distinguish and evaluate various constitutions Aristotle considers two questions. First, why does a city-state come into being? He recalls the thesis, defended in Politics I.2, that human beings are by nature political animals, who naturally want to live together. For a further discussion of this topic, see the following supplementary document: On the contrary, if you didn't choose to disregard my response you'd see it reveals quite a bit about my character. I am not interested in politics. I don't read/watch the news. When people start a heated argument about the latest politics thingy I don't have my own piece of mind I make sure everyone knows, I sit it out hoping the conversation will shift to something I can contribute to. As far as your specific question "regarding the diplomatic relations of Israel with Iran and Palestine", I have very little factual knowledge, not enough to verbally express an opinion, let alone one that is robust to new knowledge. I can't recall much of what I knew or thought because this is not meaningful enough for me to be encoded in memory. Contrary to what you seem to think, the response in my mind to your question wasn't "I believe that X Y Z! But I'm not telling." It's more like reaching into my mind to find something relevant to say and getting only a blank. Then you are expressing your political view. Lack of interest in politics does not make you unqualified to express your political views. Your willingness to shift the conversation to another subject indicates that you are trying to expose your political thoughts, but in a manner which you judge more consistent to contribute. I did not disregard your answer. The poor response you provided did not demonstrated your political view. I only noted that you were not expressing what are your thoughts in regard with the question I made. Sure, if I wanted I guess I could read up on some history and recent developments, analyze the facts and figure out what I think of them. But I have no interest in doing that.
Maybe if you asked some leading questions this would become an aided recall task which is easier.
I have answered your questions to the best of my ability, you are the one who chose to assume I am hiding something. If you want a more detailed response ask a more focused question. I am sorry for the lack of precision. I was indeed harsh with the questions and I offer my apologies. Read again. You are not dictating how I should think, you are saying what I think, e.g. "You have an opinion as everyone else", "You are or you not are." I agree. I indeed said what you think and I am correct. You have an opinion and you expressed very well in the above quotes. Religion is about more than a given set of beliefs, there is a strong cultural component. One may respect and be attracted to the culture and tradition regardless of the truth value of the associated beliefs.
If beliefs are all that you are interested in, it is rarely a good idea to be absolutely certain in something of any complexity. A Bayesian assigns a subjective probability p to the truth of any statement. If the statement is "the beliefs associated with religion X are generally true", then theism would be p~1, atheism would be p~0, and any 0<p<1 would be a middle point between theism and atheism.
As for me, I don't find the beliefs underlying Judaism to be likely true, but I don't rule out the possibility. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/theism?q=theismDefinition of theism noun [mass noun] belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/atheism?q=atheismDefinition of atheism noun [mass noun] disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. If you do not rule out the possibility (p), then you believe (b) that a divine entity exist (1), even if you do not know how to prove the existence of what you perceive:
1 ∈ p ∉ 0
Therefore you are a theist:
p ∈ b ∴ 1 ∃ b

Let us forever remember, aside from the quote starting this post, that computer programmers are not simply on the strength of that to be regarded as competent in any other field, including basic logic, basic law, basic finance or basic anything, in spite of an uncanny ability to produce text strings if given a keyboard - not the only characteristic they share with the proverbial monkeys. What are you qualified for? What are you credentials? What are your competencies?

Indeed, as Substrata already said, this is a very good deep house track. I like the background echo effects you applied. You made a very good choice of synthetic instruments to compose the track.
Soundcloud classified the track as ambient. I am a former dj specialized in ambient/lounge music and definitively this is not ambient. It is only and solely deep house.
Well done!

@augustocroppo: Domains By Proxy isn't that bad, but I understand your post. Once the legal status is resolved I'll add appropriate WHOIS records and a better SSL cert.
I fully understand the mistrust against 1Broker ... I would love to prove that I have good intentions with this project. Any suggestions? (except selling it to a "professional team")
Disclose all pertinent information regarding who you are, who have access to the Internet page (partners, employee, etc) and where all you are established. You must forward this information to myself in a private message. I will verify the consistency of the information and require more data if necessary. Once I conclude the information provided is legitimate, I will encrypt all private messages you sent to me with an private key and publish the encrypted message in this thread. Then the private key will be shared with Theymos, the administrator of this forum. In the event where it becomes necessary to disclose the information contained in the encrypted format, I or Theymos will disclose the private key to decode the encryption.

Would you explain the relevance of that post for this thread?

I am inclined to think augustocrappo is inclined to think something novel and interesting which he'll share with us presently.
I am not the self-proclaimed business man which made a deposit without require a signed contract... That novel is yours and only yours. By the way, would please a moderator report if a decision was settled? The scammer tag is going to be issued or not?

I guess that are more than one person behind the user MPOE-PR, hence the recent contradictory statements. A quick investigation reveals different Internet users utilizing the same avatar picture: http://www.thewickednoodle.com/luscious-lemon-curd/aiche 7 months ago Nice looking pics. What’s the yield on the foolproof method? Enough for a nice big pie, wouldya say? aiche recently posted..Losing Sight http://www.biznology.com/2010/01/internet_hucksters_of_the_info/Comment by aiche: Sunday, January 31st 2010 at 3:01 pm | Solid point on snake oil having a different sheen online than off; why it’s so easy to scrutinize a person or product face to face yet so difficult to do so on the internet is probably one of its greatest, if least recognized, areas available for exploitation. In the two next links, Mircea Popescu appears along with an user using MPOE-PR's avatar picture: http://www.pahomi.ro/cacanarii-din-social-media.htmlPLETZALCOATL says: Feb 9, 2011 ROFL@Cartel.

My name is Hannah.
At the moment I live in Romania, which is why, from time to time, posts in (what we’ll indulgently call) Romanian will show up. Native speakers are invited to edit and/or slander my attempts at intelligible prose. The language structure of the next post it is quite similar to MPOE-PR's recent posts in this forum: http://thewhet.net/2012/the-pedagogy-of-the-oppressed/Why? Because pedagogy, at least in my experience –which is limited to three albeit second and third-tier universities, and a great deal more independent study–, is suffering an intolerable and frankly disgusting state. Because the oppressed aren’t limited to what we in the first-world countries imagine is the third-world, but in fact is making quite a meal of the world at large, at least in terms of education. The proof, if you want it, is anywhere you’d care to look; it’s in the general public having little to no clue about such basic things as the order of the planets in our solar system or how to make change without a calculator, it’s in the recurring dramas of altered standardized test scores and the failure of entire swaths of adolescents to pass exams. More importantly, it’s in the fact that apologies are made in lieu of actual teaching. I am inclined to assume that MPOE-PR is a minion acting in behalf of Mircea Popescu.

I don't see the connection.
For some things I have sufficient qualification and interest to form an opinion. For others, not. What you asked about is of some importance but also sufficiently complex that any attempt to opinionate for the sake of opinionating will be almost pure noise. I asked for your opinion regarding your political views. Everyone able to express it thoughts are qualified to form and to present an opinion. Your refusal to present yours only shows that you are not willing to reveal certain aspects of your character in this forum. This is not how it works.
I see no point continuing this line of inquiry as it has devolved into trying to tell me what I think.
It was your decision to step up in the stage of the public scrutiny when you started this thread. You assumed the position of being questioned and now you are afraid to answer the questions. I am not trying to dictate how you should think. Anyway, I am satisfied with the answers and I will respect your right to remain in silence.

Augustocroppo: you're so far out in left field I'm not even going to respond to you directly (other than to state for the record that you're an idiot).
Please stop for a moment and consider this: just the fact that you can sort-of read the letters in a book or on this screen does not, by itself, guarantee you understand what they mean. You, personally, do not. This is a failure on your part, due jointly to a defect of your brain (you, unlike other people, lack that important quality called intelligence, being stupid, ie, your brain does not quite work well, much like an old beat up Honda Civic for instance does not run smoothly) and a fault of your parents, who either didn't bother or could not afford to educate you properly. You are simply a deficient human being, unfit for human intercourse over a certain level of complexity. What is going on here, and around Bitcoin in general, and around the Internet in many cases is far, far past the level of complexity your inferior intellect and your lacking education can efficiently handle.
A better use of your time would be to find a floor to wash somewhere. At least that way the net result of your effort would be a clean floor rather than nothing at all.
The two last paragraphs only shows how very desperate you are. In the first paragraph you said that you would "not even going to respond to" me "directly". But then you proceed to respond to me directly with an ad personem argument in a last effort to instigate humiliation. You completely failed. I known who I am, where I come from and what I understand. Whatever you write about my character, this will not change the fact that you did not require a signed contract to secure your end of the deal. The contract does not involve Patrick's "business model". If Patrick's business model did not have any relevance to the mutual agreement, why did you choose to invest in Patrick's business model? For the record, the sought compensation is detailed below:
500 BTC capital + 1% per week until the date of full repayment. Currently this is 14 weeks (since August the 10th), or 74.7371065 BTC + .01 BTC per word of my posts in this thread. Currently this is 3935 words = 39.35 BTC + Treble damages (punitive).
Total sought (if discharged today): 1842.2613195 BTC. You do not have a contract which specifies such obligations. You will have to settle an agreement with Patrick before you pretend he will accept your terms.

That's pretty retarded throughout, but the bolded part is particularly funny. Even WITH a signed contract there's no way to determine that. The latter contract would have to be brought up by the interested party. Which, you know, the interested party is welcome to do at any time, instead of sending in the likes of you and Katz to make these outrageously funny arguments you make. Now you are pretending that a signed contract cannot determine if the mutual agreement was changed or not. In case you do not know, contracts are signed to avoid any party to append additional obligations that were not part of the mutual agreement. If you were wise enough to read the book I recommended to you, instead to spell out your arrogance, you would find this: A written offer containing all the terms of the contract, signed by the proposer, and accepted by the other party by performance on his part, is enough to enable the latter to sue under the statute of frauds. And where there is no such necessity for writing, it is optional with the parties to express their agreement by word of mouth, by action, or by writing, or partly by one and partly by another of these processes. It is always possible, therefore, that a simple contract may have to be sought for in the words and acts, as well as in the writing, of the contracting parties. But in so far as they have reduced their meaning to writing they cannot adduce evidence in contradiction or alteration of it. They put on paper what is to bind them, and so make the written document conclusive evidence against them.

What is your political view regarding the diplomatic relations of Israel with Iran and Palestine?
I don't have an opinion on this issue. You are part of military Israel forces but you do not have an opinion regarding Israel's enemy states? That does not sound reasonable. You have an opinion as everyone else, but I guess you do not want to disclose it. Are you religious or atheist?
I am mostly secular with some religious inclination. You are or you not are. There is no middle point between theism and atheism.

Cool - I can play that game too.
(...)
I rest my case.
Rest well, because all you did was not to provide any evidence which indicates that IRC logs are accepted as direct evidence to determine that a contract was signed, even less that any court of law have relied on IRC logs to determine the legitimacy of a contract. All quotes you posted does not substantiate MPOE-PR claims. In fact it has been long established legal practice (where "long" means > 100 years) in both civil and common law that any exchange which shows agreement between businessmen of the sort they would normally employ in the usual course of their trade is sufficient and binding as a contract. These aren't retail investors dealing here. You are clever only to do claims. As I had already admitted, you fail to understand the meaning of evidence. Since you only have a IRC log, that does not count as contract, but as evidence for a mutual agreement. Without a physical or digital signature from both parties, there is not a method to determine if both parties have changed the contract after the initial agreement. That means you or Patrick cannot prove which party is providing the legitimate contract. Do you like old books? I suggest you read this before you send another 500 Bitcoins to an Internet user: Handbook of the law of contracts (Open Library) http://www.archive.org/stream/lawrencecontracts00clar#page/n3/mode/2up
