<see my sig> And, this week's The Fodor Award goes to...oh yea, i remember that. I never did get my 10btc he said he would pay me 4btc becasue the value skyrocketed, which I agreed to, but never got it.. it was that mathew wright scam that he pulled... I believe that was a mtgox account. I used that or bitinstant back then. I did have a online wallet, but it was rarely used. I foolishly trusted 3rd parties, now, I wouldnt let anyone else but me control my coins.., i think, its now defunct, but this was when bitcoin was sub 10 dollars, boy, to have those 300 or so coins back now (or when we hit the all time high)..... I thought you were talking about someone else, not me, lol..
Also, your assuming that just because one used silk road that they purchased drugs or something illegal? Its none of your damn business, but Ill admit, I purchased 8 hp touchpads from silk road, I finalized early and was scammed... the value was right around 800 bucks, hp was unloading them for 25 bucks or something, so I thought 100 a piece was a deal, before they stopped making them, they sold for like 600 a piece. it was for the scammer, lol...
that one hurt, i didnt have much money and it wiped me out, i was planning on reselling them.. hard lesson...
I still dont know what sending coins to silk road has to do with anything....you do realize that during 2011 and 2012 there were more non drug items than drug items for sale, for some unknown reason, drugs happened to be their best seller, i guess, lol..., i believed that changed in 2013 when drugs were like 3 to 1 on non drug items... but what does this have anything to do with his gofundme campaign.. I chose to give, call me crazy.. price of btc back then was about 9 bucks, but it would vary from 5-10 if i recall... man, to have a time machine..
Also, that item where you bring up tonya jones is misleading.. someone was talking about some sort of scam and gave the name and address, it had nothing to with me, since I lived in the same county, i offered to drive over and knock on the door for the person that was ripped off. you make is sound as if It was my business or something, I was just trying to help since I knew the area...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606942.msg7491679#msg7491679My 2nd idea is pretty big.. I would need help putting it together, someone that is not only knowledgeable in bitcoin but turning that sole prop. into a LLC/S corp and putting together the wording so that all the fine print is clear to both parties (Me and the shareholders).. I am willing to pay someone to help me do this..
I own a jetted tub manufacturing business. It was extremely profitable until the economic downturn. I survived the downturn and we are now starting to be very profitable again.. We have been in business for 20 years and the company owns 1.5 million worth of buildings, one we operate in and the other one we rent out. and we own tub forming machines, etc. we also buy tubs from China.. We have contracts with many home builders and a regional home supply chain that carries our tubs.. We are going to start an online presence soon. We are in the process of setting up so we can take bitcoins, we probably wont get many takers, but it will give us an excuse to educate people about it. It only make sense that I take bitcoins since I mine them, lol...
In a nutshell, I was thinking of selling a portion of my tub business to help fund the online presence etc, and to give bitcoin investors a different type of opportunity. Thee are a lot of details but we are profitable and we are getting back on track to pre 2008 numbers.. We put the value of the business at around 5 million...
This might be too big of thing for the bitcoin community, i dont even know if anyone has even tried doing something like this. Hence, I need someones help and do a lot more research to make sure its a healthy and viable plan, but at first glance, it looks like a great idea..(its a jetted tub/shower biz)
My 3rd idea is in the middle of my small mining operation and the tub business, in essence it would be backed by diamonds,(im a minority owner of a diamond mining business) but I hate starting more than one project at a time. so, after i start one, I wont start on idea number 2 until idea number 1 is well on its way, etc...
Anyone willing to help me, please pm me..

No wonder I'm on his ignore list. The last person he put on ignore was Matthew N. Wright, vowing to never speak of him again, albeit he spoke of him in the next dozen or so posts after vowing to not do such.
