so have the payouts from pirate started yet?

He said it could take up to a week.  You might want to relax.

Relax? This sounds like the unwavering peak of stupidity. Why do you think he said that he will pay a week late?

Or are you in it as well? I stopped keeping track of who belongs to the pied pipers and who belongs to the blind followers.

Anyway, let me remind you all that the stalling tactics were predictable and have been predicted. Another prediction, by the way, is that he may pay out a few small accounts to stall for even longer.


Holy fuck, shut up. There are lots of threads for trash talking lame Pirate vs lame Ponzi Gang, take it there.

Actually it could be even better if he pays late this week, because he promised to pay interest up to the actual time he returns the funds. So paying late would mean that you will get interest for another, say, half a week. Smiley

So just keep mum. Perhaps he will pay you after a couple of years. Then he will have to pay you more bitcoins than the number of bitcoins in existence.
LOL, someone is still extremely jealous! Tongue
But it is fully understandable, because pirate will not lower the rate, but continue to pay 7% for this week Grin

My bold for emphasis:
Good advice that I expect will be widely ignored: only invest in what you know.

So-called high yield investments are (almost?) always dressed-up Ponzi schemes. If you "invest" in them then please lick your wounds quietly when they implode. And if you're one of the lucky few who make money on them, don't expect me to admire your investing wisdom, any more than I'd admire the number-picking brilliance of a lottery winner.

I'm user 367 of 373. Pirate shut down before I even got a single week's worth of interest.

payb.tc, when deciding who to pay first, consider this: the oldest accounts have been earning interest for a long time already. Many of them have already been paid back their initial investment in interest. The newer accounts have seen little to no return (like me). Those accounts should be paid back first because they have lost the largest percentage of their initial investments. Last-in-first-out is the most fair way to return funds.

maybe thats what finally overbalanced pirates books ...........

mass deposits so he assumed he had a lot more to work with ........and then mass withdrawls
when the interest rates were slashed ........

even 4.9% would have been loads if if had been 4.9% for day 1

its  only because its coming down from   7 or 7.7%  does it look like such  a drastic drop ........

 a steady 4.9% with no changes and he might have been able to keep it running

Some of the first in people did not take payments and re-invested. So your loss and their loss is the same at this point. IE 100% of amount invested until we find out if Pirate pays.

Also you knew the risk that you were getting into (or you should have).  Everyone wants to be paided first, but first come first served is pretty standard and not at all playing favorites.

We're talking about different subsets of the older investors, the "take the profits" crowd vs the "let it ride" crowd.

A more nuanced refund system would subtract payouts from initial investment to determine amount to refund, but that would only be if pirate makes a partial return of funds.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how much BTC comes back, if any. Fingers crossed!

If investing in a such scheme was a risk, then why not just repay randomly based on some algorithm? I think it's not fair to be half fair.

What is it with all these people

You put your money with pirate to get 6.9% interest/week

No fear whatsoever

Now pirate says he's winding up his business and he's giving your coins back and all of a sudden people think he won't be able to

Then why did you give him your money in the first place Huh?

Unbelievable !!!
