[Open to new investors] Invest in me.

Some of the companies shipping in March are Black Arrow, BFL, Cointerra, AMT... well, there's a bunch, but those are the only ones that seem reputable in any way. They have some devices shipping prior to then, but preorders are currently slated for late February / early March for all of them.

Ok, No delivery before next summer at best, then.

Sent .4 bitcoins towards returning msc's investment. Transaction details here. Current earnings plus a little extra. I'll still keep sending them as they come in.

Now you have 1.6 BTC ($1600) of one "investor"'s coins.  Scam is to attract as many "investors" as you can before you stop making payments.

View it however you wish. Fact of the matter is that, unlike some people on these forums, I don't feel the need for anonymity. I use this same name everywhere, and it's linked to so much real-life information that I would have to be pretty stupid to scam anyone. All I have to lose is my reputation here and just about everywhere else.

If you're too worried I'm going to take your money and run, then don't invest. It's that simple. Don't, however, try to sully my name before I can make one for myself here.

No one should invest until the current investor has been paid back with promised interest.

That isn't a good advice in general though. It's quite easy to make some sockpuppets and give them some "profit" to convince the mark it is legit.


Perhaps this one is indeed legit, but just seeing someone else make a profit is no guarantee of that.

There's always a risk in lending.  Someone could have a perfect track record of paying 1000 investors, and the next day get hit by a car and never make a payout again. If we didn't want to take risk, we wouldn't own Bitcoin in the first place.  Granted, someone with a known track record is less risk, but not zero.

I was surprised that you invested almost $2000 USD to someone you do not know without any trust and a sob story, hopefully you will get yor coins back but he may scam you, I'm just warning you.  Perhaps you should have started with a 1BTC and just been done with it.

Don't worry, I've lost a lot more than that in my day.  I'm not rich, but I have a good profit in BTC even without those two coins.

BTC0.2 sent towards paying off msc's debt.  Transaction Details.

Still looking for more investors. The more hashing power I have, the faster I can get the money to everyone, and the sooner everyone gets to go home happy.

More ponzi investors means more payments!  If you don't invest, the scheme collapses.

You've made it blatantly clear you don't trust me, and that's all well and good. You have somewhat of a reputation for helping members of the community avoid being scammed, which even helped me at one point. However, now, you're starting to sound more like a child than a helpful member of the community. Feel free to quote me on that if need be.

Besides, you clearly don't know what a ponzi scheme is. Were that the case, no new hardware would have been purchased, and, if you care to check at my mining address, you'd see that all payments correspond to money made solely from mining income. Were this even closely resembling a ponzi scheme, none of that would be the case.

You'll also see that, even though I currently have more than enough to pay msc back now, I have not done so yet. Why? Because, contrary to a ponzi scheme, the investors cash goes directly into hardware, and is paid back directly from income of said hardware.

Now, please go cry wolf elsewhere.

Lol, last reply got deleted, suspect this one will to.

Either way, assuming the lender and the lendee aren't the same person, I hope the lender gets all of his funds back.

I laughed when I noticed that this was a self-moderated topic. Nope, I didn't laugh at anything else.

Nah, the last one got deleted because of the nature of the reply. Not very keen on the whole thread hijacking thing. No reason to remove this one.

And even more BTC to msc, just in time for Christmas. (Transaction Details)

Merry Christmas to you as well!

BTC0.46 headed your way, msc. Hope you enjoyed your holidays! (Transaction Details)

Should just be one more payment left to msc, who was the only investor at this point thanks to the pen and paper badge brigade.

At this point I'd like to see if anyone else would be interested. Next few investments will be going towards this last round of recently released hardware, most likely an AntMiner device or such, or whatever the investors request.  If requested that I invest in upcoming hardware, that's a possibility as well.
