I don't think there will increase the price? Why? Because they seam to work very hard in being the best to discourage competition.
You mean they are discouraging competition through low pricing? That's a valid point. Nevertheless time costs money too. People not willing to wait two months might well pay 50 dollars more to get their product in 2 weeks... The business practices of BFL are despicable. The whole pre-ordering is a deception for consumers. 1) They buy a "promise" not a product. The final production will not meet specs. 2) BFL didn't specify how many chips they plan to produce. Thus you don't know whether you will actually get one. If they decide to give you your money back - you effectively gave them a 0% loan. 3) They didn't even specify what happens to the pre-order money if the chip production is a failure. Who carries the risk of a default? We just saw pirate take everyone for a ride, lets sit back and watch BFL do the same while people defend their actions. I may as well stoke this fire since I started it, hey inaba are you still spewing your hysterical pseudo logic rants ? |

What's a mem, and what's the average salary paid to a professional troll?
A troll is paid in his victim's tears. I'm still trying to figure out what the answer to your first question is. In any case this is a very suspect individual. We should add him to the list. Oh wait Indeed, there is no reason to trust this character mem or any investments he offers. What credibility and accountability does this individual have that would make him trustworthy with the bitcoins of someone who only knows of him through the forums.... NONE ? +mem |

At some point a good barman tells the scammer to GTFO.
Exactly. We have hundreds of users that would have long been permabanned on normal forums. Why the heck? What's the benefit? Well I assume the benefit is morally bankrupt Admins and mods help Pirate (and other scams) run their operations, shield them from scrutiny and lend them credibility in exchange for large payments of bitcoin. |

Obviously people have to grow up. You would not hand cash over to a complete stranger you met in a bar just because he promises to return you +7% next week and blabbers on about some mysterious fool-proof system of his that is too complicated to go into details, but trust him, it's foolproof to double your money in just 10 weeks. But somehow that's exactly what people do in the Bitcoin world. And there is no forum moderation that can alter this belief. At some point a good barman tells the scammer to GTFO. |

And there's this other guy, who I won't link to, that registered on the same day as Matty Boy and who has yet to add to the chorus of his decline. Date Registered: June 16, 2011, 09:19:25 AM Date Registered: June 16, 2011, 10:38:53 AM It's that second guy that I have a hell of lot of info on and I have yet to publish anything relevant. Please don't PM me or try to bribe me as to whom that second guy is, but when it's finally revealed, you'll be shocked to all get-out. The Mt. Gox hack on the 15th resulted in a lot of new registrations that wee (probably lurkers who finally decided to create accounts to post), not just you and Matthew. this seems a rather suspect quote, better add reeses just to be safe. +reeses I hate to be left out. Thanks! No problem, as a out and open shill I trust you to point out any other shills as well. |

So, you "invested" in obvious scam, and now you are mad at bitcoins?
You only have yourself to blame. No where in the real world can you get the ROI's they promised, so why wouldn't it have been a scam here?
You got greedy, and con men taught you a lesson. Twice.
I wont defend the con men, or a forum that allows (encourages) them to operate freely, but I will say that bitcoin needs less suckers. Sorry that you lost your money, but people need to stop letting this bullshit happen. Obvious and valid points. Will bitcointalk continue to degrade or are we already at the bottom ? If this forum cannot mature, another will spring up in its place. The people involved with the obvious ponzi's, the shills and idiots defending them and the dumbfounding near inexcusable tolerance moderators and admins have towards the obvious scammers would be mind blowing were I not already an avid 4channer. People say idiots need to be taught a lesson (and often I have a hard time disagreeing), but at what point do you stop being a bystander and become an indifferent uncaring cunt ? I am a vocal asshole no doubt when it comes to specific topics, matts bet, BFL (flame away haters), Pirate, the list goes on. Any community that stands back and lets unaccountable operations advertise and accept vast sums of currency for "magic sauce investments" or "products of unverifiable performance, quality, existence and delivery times" without at least warning the more gullible is a irresponsible one. So in summary, here I am - staggered that yet another business operator could be so fucking stupid and greedy and also bitter that we as a community basically stood back and applauded pirates escapades even defended them (thankyou matt and shills). </late night rant over> |

You will have to add me too. I'm one of Matthews’s sock puppet accounts. I prefer to call it alter ego though.
Thanks for volunteering, it makes it much easier for everyone  +CornedBeefHash to the list. |

Now theres noone to call out Atlas's shit.
I never saw Atlas in his glory (good or bad ?) but from what I can tell from the exchanges between the two, they are extremely similar personalities (if not the same person) but Atlas is clearly the better troll. If you take Atlas and Matthew and combine them into one single glorious manic-depressive Mattlas, then Atlas is the depressive side and Matthew the manic. Lmao @ MATTLAS |

Suppose I better report myself as well... He'll pay out if he loses. I have the utmost confidence of that.
Though I did turn it around towards the end... This pretty much plainly says Matthew has no intention of paying out. In the event that you do not pay up Sunday, I would refuse to fund an organization that is directly involved with you. If you do pay out the $650K+ in bets, I will apologize for misjudging your character, and I"ll be heading to B&N to pick up my first copy of Bitcoin Magazine.
I would refuse to fund an organization that is directly involved with you.
I'm not sure if there are any bitcoin businesses not directly involved with me. Guess you'll be leaving bitcoin then. I am in the same boat as you Erik... very disappointing.
Thanks for reporting yourself +SgtSpike to the list. |

Sorry, but I'm not buying it. Sounds a lot more like a butthurt mem than a shill.

How about a subforum within gambling?
I feel that would better option than moving gambling topics out completely. |
|
|
|
|
In light of MNW's scam - I think this topic sorely needs to be revisited.
Bet and Odds discussion is relevant to the gambling sub forum.
Warnings of potential GAMBLING SCAMS ? definitely.
Many users only visit sub forums specific to their interest - please do not obscure this important information.

Matt you do need help. Take a nice vacation, register with a shrink, and step away from the computer. Indeed come home and get some help. You are such an angry young man, one 1 step away from becoming an insane comic super villain. Insane - check. comical - check. super - ........ villain - check (by accident or design). |

Id also like to note that every topic started in the gambling sub forum to warn against such an obvious scam was promptly buried in moved to Service Discussion.
Matthews own thread was reported numerous times, yet the mods allowed such an obvious scam to perpetuate.
Same as pirate@40...............
