Hmm... 1200 * 0.001 = 1.2 BTC. My sig sold for 0.7 BTC last month. Just 1 week until I can change it.

Too bad about all those facts...

1) Is it post count when we start advertising, or post count at the end of the month?

2) Are we allowed to change our signature at all, provided your text remains the same?

[bitcoinbear]

Ok, I'll bite. I might even sell my soul for bitcoins.

How does my signature look? did I get it right?

I'm not sure which you mean, but both the ad phase and an address are in my signature.

[TheButterZone]

Ad and addy in my sig.

[MPOE-PR]

Atlas - Thanks!

mlawrence - Post count at the end of the period. You're allowed to change the signature, provided the text remains there at all points.

bitcoinbear - Yep.

notme - The quoted text goes in the signature, the address goes in the post. Check out bitcoinbear above.

TheButterZone - Cool!

[bb113]

Good deal. Can we change the address later?

[nimda]

Done.  Use the address in my signature.

I'm not sure which you mean, but both the ad phase and an address are in my signature.

On most browsers, the signature cuts off at 42px (3 lines).

Okay, thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.  I'll remove the empty line.

Edit: Better now MPOE-PR?

bitcoinbitcoin113 - Nah, you'll get paid at the address of record as shown by this article (so please post it). Trying to keep things manageable.

notme - That works, for a signature. Still need to post your address.

This thread has taught me how cheaply people will sell out. I honestly don't think I had anything to say about MPEx, positively, or negatively, but isn't it kind of in bad taste to be so brazenly enjoying the fact that GLBSE is down? Sure, its your competition, but you are kind of rubbing it into the people who may have lost their asses using GLBSE. Nefario did his fair share of pissing me off, mostly with the goat ordeal, but I think it kind of hurts your case that you are not a jerk when doing these "publicity stunts". I don't pay too much attention to what people say about others, until I witness it myself, but over the last day or so, I've gone a bit left of impartial towards you.

Just telling it as I see it, I'm not trying to get personal or anything, but you may want to rethink some of these sorts of things, or at the very least, change your timing a bit, as I'm sure if someone that may have lost a decent sum of money came in here, they will be more offended than feeling ready to support MPEx.

but, for the record, I lost no money in the GLBSE closing, as I cashed out during the Goat ordeal.

@ MPOE-PR - It would be pleasing if you could change the text to something that doesn't flaunt in front of the SEC.  If your really about the Bitcoin community, you will understand why I am making this request.  Do we really want more resources and people with a "chip on their shoulders" to push down harder?

[drakahn]

Done and the address is 1C1UMHsdPxgsWGWBhdaTC47kibJjFgWnhb

Well. BTC is just cryptocash. It doesn't care about anything

And FWIW, when someone predicts (generally) an outcome of a competitor's unsound business practices, and the prediction is later found to be correct, the predictor is often motivated  to tout the business practices that he uses that are superior to the (failed) competitor.

I have been a supporter of MPEx for precisely the reason that we see before us. I'm not concerned about my holdings, as Mircea has an apparently significant financial motivation to remain honest, and continue to grow the exchange. I am of the opinion that the practices that differentiate MPEx from the late GLBSE are highly worth touting, especially given that the practices followed by GLBSE have caused its demise, and likely, significant grief and losses for investors.

In most cases, we find that dramatic changes in technology take some significant time before proper laws are written to support it. I expect that time to be fairly long with bitcoin...it took a long time with the commercial Internet, and each big technology it's spawned.

I'd like to be able to invest safely and securely while that process takes place. I'm happy to take risk on the companies I invest in, but I'm not as willing to take on the risk of government confiscation of any of my assets, be they bitcoin, altcoin, stocks, bonds, investment contracts, "bank" accounts, or what ever.....It does seem that bitcoin offers the basis for technologies that can end the needs for government. If we can figure out how to manage money without it, we can manage everything without it, IMO.
