Here's where I spew my accusations against MPOE. All are welcome.

[nimda]

I feel bad about polluting evoorhees' thread about S.DICE. So I'm going to spew my Facts, Uncertainties, and Debates here.

Fact. MPEX costs 20 BTC (sometimes 15) 30 BTC just to sign up.
Fact. The domain is registered fraudulently.
Fact. Porn is was hosted on that same domain, polimedia.us, while MPEX was hosted on it.
Fact. The owner of MPEX has attempted to sell NSFW photos (of herself?) at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74399.0
Fact. The owner of MPEX steals content from other websites, including images.

Opinion MPEX looks like shit. Seriously. "border=1"? No CSS3? We have a high school teenager on these forums whose website looks many times better. And is porn-free.

Debate MPEX is managed by an untrustworthy romanian pornstar whose hobby is to post libel about GLBSE through the MPOE-PR forum account. The free market has ensured that its high entrance fee means very little volume. And it's an eye-sore.

I shall be staying away, thank you very much.

That's all for now, folks.

Fact. GLBSE's weekly volume is larger than MPEX's monthly volume.
Fact. MPEX costs 20 BTC (sometimes 15) just to sign up.
Fact. GLBSE has its own domain name (yeesh, 10 bucks a year is harsh man). MPEX hangs off of http://polimedia.us/
Fact. Porn is hosted on that same domain, polimedia.us

Opinion MPEX looks like shit. Seriously. "border=1"? No CSS3? We have a highschool teenager on these forums whose website looks many times better. And is porn-free.

That's all for now, folks.

Thank you now people this is how you spread FUD in a separate thread

It is my duty to post here. This exchange is run by a dubious Romanian character, who is a content stealer, spammer, wannabe porn website owner, called Mircea Popescu.

All the content on the porn site is stolen. Use http://www.tineye.com/ to check, nothing is original. His website is registered under a false name and US address.

[ciuciu]

A bit more. He brags about his successful business and about his employees, but here are the numbers: http://www.firme.info/polimedia-srl-cui22530016/.

Another fact compulsive liar and failed businessman.

Thank you for your information ciuciu; I've added some of it to the OP.

Now that we have a good argument on this side, I'm waiting to hear some arguments from the pro-MPEX side.

To be fair the owner has a good bitcoin-otc reputation http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=mircea_popescu&sign=ANY&type=RECV

Also i cant find user "ciuciu" on the wot so I cant judge whether they are more or less trustworthy in this regard.

The MPOE-PR user does seem to be abrasive and attack GLBSE at any opportunity.

That's fair. Nefario has a rep there too, just not as much.

I rated him a while back because of his deposit service. He's fairly trustworthy, a forum donator, and has been vouched for by multiple established members including hashking. Why do you need him to be trustworthy, though, when he states verifiable facts?

Yes.

Yes.

I think Mircea needs to hire better PR people and get the stock exchange off its current domain for marketing reasons basically.

I dont question ciuciu's honesty I was simply comparing the otc ratings. I couldnt find MPOE-PR user there either.

I'd hire an HTML guy before PR. Seriously, the site looks awful

[puffn]

I don't like the interface. I don't like the domain. I don't like the upfront fee. I don't like the owner. The only good argument for not putting this on GLBSE is to diversify the location of stocks on the market.

I honestly don't see a difference between the dice company and the exchange as there is nothing else worth buying on there that I don't have access to elsewhere for less than 20btc.

The price of S.Dice is crazy too. He wants to have a P/S of 10 with a risk level that would make junk bonds unsellable. P/S for companies is like 2 on the high end of the spectrum. Even if his expenses are meaningless, it doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin is a risk, and just because it is fully bitcoin denominated does not mean that I cannot convert that to investment capital in WMT or AAPL which carry much less risk than S.DICE.

It would literally take an experienced coder less than one day of CSS to stylize and format the page so it isn't a total eye sore.

[Transisto]

I think he wanted to divert from Pirate40 drama with this stupidity.
I don't think he succeeded, Matthew did well though. 

SD IPO surely succeeded in scaring serious investors aways from bitcoin.
So much face-palm in a row my brain hurts.
