Some1 plz explain to me what this Pirate-based mining software this is:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55819.0   what could a dishonest operator do with what appears to be many clients?

It's a coin laundry that exchanges old coins (at least some clearly coming from BS&T) for freshly minted ones from various pools, paying some extra for it.

It can be used as a smoke-screen to hide activity and as a source of untraceable coins.

He already has an unofficial asshat tag from most on the forum.   He should be down about $50,000 shortly as well, so that'll be nice

1)  Simply insulting Vandroiy will not discredit his thoughts.   Further more I *love* his side of the bet right now

2)  is there anything more sinister that could be done at this desperate stage with this asset?  Can you explain to me what GPUmax does exactly?

It's already been explained repeatedly and for you to expect someone to stop and explain it again just because you asked and were too lazy to go and look shows just how much of an ass you are.

They double spend sealswithclubs deposits.

I'd love to see any of the sides of the ponzi-vs-legit discussion swallow their own hats

[jcpham]

I'll go on record and say gpumax is a block monster.

Within two weeks, either Pirate will have paid everyone back, he'll have disappeared, or he'll still be stalling for time. At that point, it should be obvious even to those who are willfully blind.

+1  Joel Katz.  My man right there.  Stays on point, no personal insults.

1)  Some1 PM me a GPUMax account.  buyer or miner.  Screenshots also plz.

2)  If in addition to sending him $1M+ USD worth of BTC you also put Pirate is in control of an extremely large amount of hashing power I'm going to be pissed at you guys.  Holy shit the 2nd one could be worse than the 1st for Bitcoin...

someone on Team Anti-Ponzi please explain GPU Max for me so I don't need to read the 100+ pgs.  I don't care if every shill-troll sweating their "skin in the game" comes here and tells you otherwise, some1 like Vandroyj plz explain to me exactly what this is, how much of it Pirate controls, how much of the total hashing power is here, if he could 51% the chain, etc.

[nrd525]

My possible explanations for GPUMAX are
1) he is laundering his own bitcoins - so they won't be dirty when he cashes out of the ponzi
2) he is laundering other people's bitcoins (eg. Silk Road)
3) he is running a legitimate business/giveaway (paid out of his own pocket) to gain reputation so as to be able to run an illegitimate business

Vandroyj plz explain to me exactly what this is, how much of it Pirate controls, how much of the total hashing power is here, if he could 51% the chain, etc.

Perhaps you should learn about PM's. If you want to talk to vandroy, you should pm him.

JoelKatz is my favorite poster on this forum. Very well-informed. Must-read.

[drakahn]

My explanation of GPUMAX - he gets 10% of people's pool luck gambling budget, lol

[unclescrooge]

Now you'll make yourself ridiculous until the very last coins he will return to his lenders, won't you?

What a joke

[miscreanity]

GPUMAX can do more than just mine bitcoins...

[organofcorti]

..... it can also .....

[drakahn]

... lead to unprotected ...
