… for what nefarious purpose could pirate want lenders names for?

I don't know, but here are a few guesses, some of which had been mentioned here already.

  • He wants to protect his pass-through helpers by taking the business relationship and the debt upon himself before his bankruptcy is obvious to everybody. This is quite unlikely behavior for a criminal, but perhaps he wants to keep his helpers for another coup.
  • He wants to send individual messages to the people whose money he stole, for the purpose of confusing and delaying.
  • He wants to use the addresses to pull people into his next coup, perhaps a Ponzi scheme with a lower interest rate than 3,300% per year.

Any more ideas?

I usually do not agree with team ponzi, but assuming pirate is a scammer, then all of those actually make sense.

He needs direct control over sub-accounts, to payback the sub-accounts he bought at low price "first" and WITHOUT INFORMING ANYONE. This will result in more accounts falling at lower prices as account holders wouldn't stand the expanded payback delay with zero information being announced, while Pirate keeps collecting such accounts and payback himself. I guess he is already doing this now. His intention is not to let anyone know about the slow payback process. Thats why he doesn't want PPT OPs in the middle, to keep hiding his activities.

My missing coins and I are in it for the long haul. At this point all I can do is wait, assume a loss, and if they come back fantastic.
I don't appreciate all this confidential treatment of finances on pirates part. If there is 1$ million to pay $5million owed then just pay out at 20%.  Why all the delays? Pay out what you have, give us a bottom line number and meet it.

Delay is the only purpose. Nothing will be paid out.

This has been obvious from the beginning, has been predicted in detail, people have been warned, but it should be even more obvious now.

I think you may be right about the stalling tactics.  But if he has gone to a lawyer, the lawyer must comply with the law, or risk losing their livelihood. So any assets held should be distributed to debt holders.

If pirate just wants us to think that he is lawyering up then we can always break out the pitchforks.

I really don't know what to make of all this - either he still intends to payout something and he's just trying to protect himself legally, or he's stalling for some reason, or....

Number 4   :     but that doesn´t count, cause its zykooglish :

Pirate just covers his traces....he of course has a failed buiseness and Payb.tc was trying to run  his own ponzi on that... (bitcoinmax freely translated in zykooglish: "payout goes first to me, then to the to the oldest accounts, the OP need not be messed with this details and the fun begins now!" .. with the help of everybody who is crying me first now

and the help of people, who have forgotten how to spell their names in english, when trying to read and understand zykgooglish. At least pirate hasn´t lost all his senses, so we can still

hope;)


Thanks for switching on brain cells

I personally taught that pirate business was legitimate.

I've seen you make the same mistake in at least 4 posts now.

'Taught' is the past participle of 'teach'.
'Thought' is the past particple of 'think'.

'Thought' is the word you're looking for here.

futile endeavour to have taught zykloogish then Undecided


Where the fuck is payb.tc in all of this?!?! havent heard from him yet...

Probably collapsed. lol

And as there is at least one companheiro, who still doesn´t look forward to panic holding, as he intends  to satisfy his lenders  without any  blinking.......

he is the only one, who is on the right track as he is used to zykloogish even when pretending he is not. Wink

apparently he's on holiday atm, unfortunate timing but with so much at stake a daily check in & update is essential imo

Do you actually KNOW that he's on holiday or are you just guessing due to him not appearing for a couple days here?

It's been reported on irc://freenode/btcst by ppl who apparently know this, I'm just relaying the most current informed info available...

You're relaying rumors.

It is highly unethical bordering on illegal to hand over users data to a third party without their express permission.

agreed, and following that, it's questionable whether handing over *some* would be useful, if i can't hand over *all*.

I'd suggest that you hand over those that give permission, and not those that don't.   If people don't want their info handing out, that's their choice.    If this by some miracle means that pirate will pay out everyone directly, then that's just less he has to pay out I suppose.

On the other hand, if he's using the info to pass on to his alien overlords as a probing list, then those that don't participate will be laughing.

Again though, not your problem mate.   It you get permission, you're all good.

On that note, you have my permission.   I'm up for a probing.

You better do now what you are told to do.....stop your endless ignorance and change the implied payout order

before its going to become ever more futile to go on with your panic holding.

Are those 20 in your wallet not Andies coins?

Of course if you prefer please hand over all Wink

In truth, Payb.tc is the only "account" of BCS&T, and therefore is owed the entire amount. I'm not sure how I feel about pirate getting your entire customer list, with bitcoin addresses and email addresses.

+1

i don't see how bitcoinmax account details have anything to do with pirate or BS&T.

it's pretty simple... he needs to pay out my BS&T account to my BS&T withdrawal address.

if only a smaller proportion of that can be paid out, then i'll pass that smaller % on to bitcoinmax account holders.

the "FIFO" thing was only a side-effect of ordering by USER ID (a number), but it doesn't mean if only only get 50% back later accounts will miss out... if i only get 50% back, then all accounts will get 50% back.

Since I did not request anyone's permission ( except of course payb.tc ) to deposit coins with pirate, why would I need anyone's permission here, as to whether or not my details should be passed on to pirate.

Payb.tc, I think that atleast people who are willing to have their details passed on, let it be passed on. you could just create a simple poll on the site so that existing users could vote on it, and we could see the results. this way, you would be completely, going about our duty in the right way. Just send info to pirate about parties who chose to send.

hope it helps

Where do people get the idea that their email address will be required ?

Quote from pirate:

At his time, all Pirate Pass-Thru operators are required to submit a list of their sub-accounts including; balance, forum / IRC name (or any other way of linking and confirming the account) and Bitcoin withdraw address.

Seeing as all users of BitcoinMax had to have a forum-account there's no need to provide anything but forum-name for whatever identification is 'needed'
