Bumping again. I'm hoping WiseOldOwl will follow up with Nefario on this ASAP. It is a shame this is taking so long to be resolved. Doesn't reflect well on the parties involved.

I am watching your activities and I am impressed so far. You certainly seem to be taking steps to ensure you don't make the mistakes that other mining companies have made.

If I see a consistent and reliable set of dividend payouts over a reasonable period - at the moment I am thinking two months, coupled with a continuation of your professional, honest and fair approach, I will be investing.

Tawsix - I'm still waiting, as are your other shareholders. I expect a response as swift as the response you gave to the "why don't you buy FPGA boards". What are you hiding from us ?

Tawsix - you've still not detailed what hardware is being liquidated potentially. If you refuse to respond because you doubt I'm a shareholder, then I demand that you post a fake motion linking to somewhere private that you are willing to freely share information and respond to shareholders.

Yes still active.

Hi, is this still active?
125  Economy / Marketplace / Re: GLBSE down? on: November 26, 2011, 11:41:49 AM
I would move halve my trading and cash there. The competition - in terms of price, reliability and redundancy of both exchanges - would be great for traders.

GLBSE were great in the beginning but I am becoming less and less convinced they should remain the sole exchange now.
Competition is good for everyone, it gives buyers of services alternatives and drives sellers of services to do better.



How much trouble would it be to make a new exchange?

I would trade on a new exchange as well as GLBSE, if it is made well. I suppose I could easily set up a new fund to do like LIF.A and trade shares on your new exchange as soon as it gets set up.

Anybody who has a company on GLBSE: if a new exchange opened up and promised to be more reliable, would you move your company there?

I refuse to accept any punishment for the actions and behaviours in the business relationships between Optimal Bitcoin Mining Corporation and others.

I am responsible ONLY for the actions and behaviours in the business relationship between Optimal Bitcoin Mining Corporation and MYSELF.

Initially I was going to, but I now I see that people bought up a large amount of shares to try to take advantage of the fact that they will be repaid in 5 days and turn a quick profit.  This was never the purpose of the bonds and as I stated earlier, the bonds were intended to raise capital for the company.  Additional funds are of no use to me to have for 5 days at this point.  In any case, I have been unable to access my account lately and have been in contact with Nefario to try to access my account.  I have not heard from him recently, so I am taking the following course of action:

If Nefario does not get back to me by December 1st, I will have no way to access my account, thus the bonds cannot be repaid.  If Nefario does get back to me by December 1st, the bonds will be repaid such that only those bonds that were purchased in the 30 days prior to December 1st will be repaid at 1 BTC each and bonds purchased in the past 30 days will receive the original 0.9 BTC only, which (without being able to view my account) is about 163 BTC total.  There were 63.78 BTC purchased in the last 30 days, so a total of 219.7 BTC will be paid out, with each bond will receiving 0.97 BTC.  If the number of bonds purchased in the last 30 days is greater than 71 on December 1st, that means that people are trying to take advantage of me and, therefore, everyone will only receive 0.9 BTC at maturation on Dec 1st, and you can thank the few people that don't play by the rules for screwing it up for you, (this assumes Nefario gets back to me by Dec 1st).
It sounds like a fair deal but for next time don't issue more bond then you can sell simply issued in batches of shares until the market seems saturated. Nefario has been online and has been talking to the community recently, Please send him a pm on this forum and on the GLBSE and I am sure he can help you Smiley

Any issues you have with the GLBSE stock exchange are purely between yourself and GLBSE. You should seek compensation from GLBSE for all reasonable losses you incur.

The significant downtime is not just impacting you - I have been unable to trade (both buying and selling) shares when I wanted to - I have suffered losses as a result too, however, I took reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of such losses (which I considered to be HIGH given the clearly stated BETA status of GLBSE) - something any business does as a matter of course.
128  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Optimal Bitcoin Mining Corp. now offering remote GPU use contracts! on: November 26, 2011, 11:05:01 AM
The term bond is very clear.

I agreed a contract with you which very clearly states that I will receive 1 BTC for the significant number of bonds I purchased from you at the time when they were first issued.

I have not purchased any subsequent bonds.

You are massively damaging any possible future business I (and I suspect many others) will consider conducting with you - including further bond purchases, other investment in your business (other businesses) and purchases of products / services you offer through your businesses. This is possibly the best form of anti-advertising you could possibly have come up with.

I demonstrated massive faith and trust in you, considering you to be an honest and trustworthy person.

The "rules" you mention are the contract terms and conditions we both agreed to when I purchased the bonds.

Considering Tawsix was taking weeks to respond to shareholders questions here, I consider that 3 day motions show nothing but contempt for the shareholders.

Nice job invalidating my votes and putting up a new motion I will not be able to vote on.  I'm spending the week with family (thanksgiving holiday) and I won't have access to GLBSE until Sunday night (around the beginning of Monday, UTC).  For what it's worth, I vote against liquidation of mystery assets.
131  Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - The Bitcoin Mining Company on: November 21, 2011, 08:56:37 AM
TAWSIX - You make it sound like such a lot of effort, so much work. You were running, badly for much of the time, a couple of gaming spec computers and a pretty easily configured piece of software not NASA control centre.

Enough with this crap. How does a non-US citizen go about joining a class action suit ?

Vote Num: 000006
Vote issue: Wrapping up and liquidation of SIN This vote is being held to determine the shareholders' opinions on the matter of wrapping up SIN and liquidating its assets.
A vote in favor (yes) will support the wrapping up and liquidation of SIN.
A vote against (no) will be against the wrapping up and liquidation of SIN.

What will happen when I choose 'wrap & liquidate' ?

Tawsix sells hardware with loss -shareholders get nothing- or will the hardware go to someone we don't know ? (what do I get out of this deal?)

Voting against liquidation will change nothing and frustration will continue.

No, I sell the hardware and the money that comes from selling it gets passed on to shareholders as dividends until there is no more hardware to sell.  An estimate of what you'll get out of it is around 0.87 BTC (at today's prices) per share you own.  [($9000 revenue/ 2.235 BTC/$) / 4608 shares]

SKEPSIDYNE INVESTORS ARE CURRENTLY VOTING ON LIQUIDATING THE COMPANY

Due to the low prices BTC has fallen to, it has become unprofitable to operate the machines, so a motion has been put up to liquidate the company and pay out proceeds back to investors.  This vote will be up until midnight Tuesday, November 22nd.  If you are investor and have any questions regarding the liquidation, please post them here, PM me, or email me at tawsix@skepsidyne.com.

-Tawsix

To others: The time I logged is from straight working on computers.  It does not involve the time I spent driving around picking up materials, it doesn't cover gas, it doesn't cover wear on tools, it doesn't cover time spent on this project besides working directly with the computers, it doesn't cover internet costs, it doesn't cover insurance costs, and it doesn't cover property taxes, to name a few things it doesn't cover.  And that's just my things it doesn't cover.  The value from the contractors is straight time paid, it doesn't cover workman's comp, it doesn't cover the materials they donated, it doesn't cover gas, it doesn't cover their insurance, and it doesn't cover their fees, to name a few things it doesn't cover.

So here is the ultimatum: I will give you a total time logged.  I will give you the activities that that time was spent on.  I will give you a (non-comprehensive) list of materials that were donated or borrowed that otherwise would have had to have been bought.

Or I will sit down and basically audit myself and account for every screw, every plug, every wire, every second of my time, and bill the company for it all.  I will ask the contractors for bills.  These bills will be far greater than just time worked (which will also be on there, except at their actual working rates, far greater than the $30/hour or so I am giving them).  I will gladly post the proof of these bills from the contractors.  At that point there will be no going back, and the contractors will be paid their bills to the best ability of this company.  Their bills will be far greater than the $10,000 we could expect to make from the liquidation.  Investors will not see a single cent of it.

Perhaps some of you aren't grasping the magnitude of how much was given to this company to make it work.  I didn't collect dividends so this company could get off the ground.  I didn't charge for time spent so this company could get off the ground.  I called in a lot of favors from a lot of people to give me help for free so this company could get off the ground.  I am tired of people acting like that did not at all contribute to the company being profitable, and that it did not contribute to the dividends the investors got, and that it didn't contribute to the growth we were able to experience.

So here's the deal: say the word, and I will put up a motion concerning this.  I won't vote at all on this motion, it will be purely an investor vote.  Just keep in mind, if that motion goes towards asking for bills, there will be no going back, and there will be no money left for investors.
132  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buy shares NOT on: November 19, 2011, 04:49:48 PM
It's likely that the owner(s) have stopped using GLBSE, lost access to the relevant account(s) or have simply accepted full loss. I trashed/lost a few of my accounts while I was playing around with the service and functionality in the early days. I suspect there may well have been a Dishwara share in one of them.

So forget amount the last few shares, it may well be impossible for the owners to sell them and they rightly expect nothing from you for those.

 
There are still 29 shares left for me to buy.
Whoever has that 29 shares, please sell it & let me close this & prove my honesty.

133  Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - The Bitcoin Mining Company on: November 19, 2011, 10:04:12 AM
MATTHEW - Before you continue criticising others, I suggest you reread the 43 pages of this thread. The numerous actions and inactions of Tawsix are fully documented. Investors, particularly those who put in significant sums are clearly justified in their anger and mistrust.
134  Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - The Bitcoin Mining Company on: November 18, 2011, 09:49:17 PM
As others have said, the motion is pointless without knowing exactly what the assets of the company are. I'm not going to vote until I have that information. It is unprofessional and unfair for Tawsix to withhold that information any further. I'm rapidly moving back to the position that legal action is the only way this is going to be resolved.
135  Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - The Bitcoin Mining Company on: November 09, 2011, 11:23:42 PM
Ultimately those with the most to lose are GLBSE - if Tawsix gets away with the USD and/or gets away without punishment, the damage to investor confidence is substantial. Without investors there is no GLBSE. I'm surprised and disappointed we have heard pretty much nothing from them.
136  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] Blockminers.com - GLBSE: BMMO on: October 20, 2011, 07:56:31 PM
I'll let you decide what you think is best for the situation.


Ben I will put something together asap, is there anything specific you think I should include that would help?

teek

I would be happy to evaluate such information and decide whether I vouch for you or not.

Encrypt the information with a password of your choosing. Send the encrypted information to my email address - benny.walsh@gmail.com
and PM me on this forum with the password you chose.

I will need to see evidence that you are any more trustworthy, competent, experienced and/or professional than Tawsix.

Why should I invest in you ?

I will need to know significantly more about you and what you offer.

You still aren't listed here - http://companies.herokuapp.com - even though that was pointed out to you more than 2 weeks ago.
At an absolute minimum I require every section completed in a company listing.

You still haven't posted your bylaws at the address in the contract - even though that was pointed out to you more than 2 weeks ago.

These are not the behaviours of a professional who is seeking investment.

Hi Ben, duly noted.  I will see what I can do about clearing those items up in the coming weeks. Honestly I gotta say, the information listed for the bulk of the companies on that directory, is very incomplete, and is basically no more than I have provided on this forum thread (yes there are some exceptions, LIF maybe a couple more).  We find ourselves in an awkward position due to the nature of the GLBSE, we are kind of forced into this limbo quasi-anonymous land because of ridiculous laws.  While our business is 100% on the up and up, I find that revealing too much about it / us bares a level of risk that has to be dealt with delicately. 

What I can tell you right now is this, we have dozens of GPU's currently mining in a few locations.  We are currently renovating our offices, and actually just yesterday got the power and conduit in our new server room installed, panel and plugs wired up, etc.  I'd be happy to provide pictures of it, and will be putting pictures on the new website when things are buttoned up. Construction has taken a little longer than anticipated, so we are kind of in a holding pattern.  Not to mention, blockminers is the smallest of our ventures, so yes, it does take a backseat from time to time.  The facilities, server room, etc, are for our primary business and that business does have to come first.  However, that doesn't change the fact, miners are mining, shareholders get 1 mhash, and we are currently only taking a fee that does not yet even equal the cost of power.  In the past, we have seen mining companies come on GLBSE, and ask for a IPO basically starting from GPU0.  We've had dozens of GPU's going since June, there is value here.

The hodgepodge of miners is currently at our homes, and around the office, running various miners (linuxcoin, guiminer, etc).  Right now it is fairly inefficient, due to how it is laid out  however the plan is once we can actually move into the new server room, we will consolidate everything, run BAMT, etc.  We have network admins and developers on staff and a webdev / layout / UI guy just joined our team on a trial basis this week. His 3rd task on the list is blockminers new site... we hope to be providing some nice stats etc on the new site.  On the new site we can put out financial statements etc, if we decide that we will be offering shares of the company. Right now, we do not, because the shares do not represent ownership of the company, the company remains private.

You seem to be quite involved in the GLBSE community, i'd be happy to provide evidence to you if you would verify in the public forum that you believe we do, what we say we do as long as our actual communication remains confidential.   If you have any other feedback i'd love to hear it!

So fast? I didn't even get to vote. Have you considered that some of your shareholders, might not check this forum or GLBSE more than once a week?
138  Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - The Bitcoin Mining Company on: October 14, 2011, 08:29:42 AM
At this stage, I would say I am 90% confident I know Tawsix's true identity. However, I am all for second chances, so he has a week to demonstrate a willingness to treat the shareholders the way they deserve.

To be frank though, I have already pulled the vast majority of my investment, taking a relatively insignificant hair-cut, leaving me with a reasonable number of shares to be able to critically comment.

So, I am very much in spectator mode here, little to lose but very curious to see how others react to the behaviours being exhibited - I am as much interested in Bitcoin for the psychology / sociology aspects of its use (and that of the community around it) as anything else - I find it fascinating.

I agree.  Legal action should be taken.  Question is, does anyone have any information about who Tawsix actually is?

Sounds like Ben Walsh knows.  I believe I identified him earlier on, when he was inactive for some weeks.  I am fairly confident that I could get the dox again if need-be.

Nefario is intentionally not the only person supporting GLBSE.

"ColdHardMetal

Our company secretary, also our accountant, drafted our bylaws, rules and regulations. He is my right hand man and the second in command."

                                                                                                                                                      https://glbse.com/contact.rhtml

Though I do agree that the contact details should be fully updated to reflect the fact that ColdHardMetal should be supporting customers.

I suggest asset creators contact ColdHardMetal through PMs in this forum - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2834

Tell him the contact details of that page need updating when you do.

You still aren't listed here - http://companies.herokuapp.com - even though that was pointed out to you more than 2 weeks ago.
At an absolute minimum I require every section completed in a company listing.

Ya, I wouldn't give too much crap about that...I'm still not listed there. The problem here is that Nefario gives companies login information to post and edit their profile. Nefario has been away for awhile though, so everything there waits until he returns. I heard something about him being in an accident, so ya.
