Pirate, your avatar turned 45 degrees counter-clockwise this week. Is this some kind of countdown and when we see your back we know you sailed north with all our coins?

You WIN!.

I was waiting for the first person to notice.

50 BTC have been added to your account.

Enjoy,

Ok, you were serious with the 50 coins. Thanks for them!

Hope I was wrong with the voyage to your hidden island, though

Are you from the nineteenth century, or am I still groggy from the rum?

Do a lot of mouthing about imaginary investment opportunities irl or at the irl/btc interface that somehow magically net you what no business in the ~1000 years of business history ever made and each hyip in the ~10000 years of hyip history always claimed.

Sure, if you want to kill the golden goose. There is movement of capital flow into the Bitcoin system; without that, wealth is confined to an isolated environment and what you describe would be the most likely scenario. The USD is an isolated environment of sorts and therefore instead of wealth transfer from external pools into the USD, the proportion of ownership changes.

In a system as small as Bitcoin's any Ponzi scheme would quickly reach its zenith - in isolation. Even if Pirate is running such a scam, external flows from USD and other sources can keep the game going for a very long time. I would only be concerned if capital inflows into the Bitcoin system remain unchanged or decrease and the rates of return fail to decline somewhat over the next 12-18 months.

Right now, a relatively small amount each week (~$250,000) is necessary to maintain the exchange value of Bitcoin at the current base inflation rate of ~25-30%. There's plenty of room to grow with a global pool in the hundreds of trillions of dollars in search of proportion increase potential.

Security Alert

This morning one of my lenders forum account was compromised. The attacker attempted to withdraw coins from his BS&T account, claiming his wallet was stolen and gave me a new address. As most of you know this type of attack doesn't work since you can't just change a withdraw address.

The sharks are swarming, stay safe out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, pirate.

I believe one of the proper ways to change a withdrawal address is to go on IRC, auth and then request the address change, if you use IRC.

That only works if I've traded or worked with you in the past.  New accounts, would require an additional step.

Well done!
Any changing of withdrawal address should require multiple levels of authentication. One idea might be to authorize also on btcst.com.
