I wouldn't know that, I just registered  Are there any more fun games around here? Primedice.com is very fun if you can afford some recreational gambling. Have you tried it yet? Is there anything more annoying than spam? His username is "BitGambler" and he asked about fun games, so my answer was clearly not Spam. Is there anything more annoying than people who do not know what Spam is?  Sorry, would you accept my apologies for using the wrong term? |

Jorge, can't argue there are some rotten eggs who are riding this bitcoin wave, and 2 of them are on the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, so no surprise people are starting to avoid it, but it doesn't undermine the impact this tech is going to have on the world.
I just posted the news. I think it is good for Andreas, bad for TBF, not directly relevant to bitcoin. BUT the RealCoin initiative can only be bad for bitcoin; how much, who knows. |

Someone else, somewhere on this forum, claimed that he was on holiday. By the way, I noticed on his profile, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792Date Registered: 2011-06-16, 15:38:53
Last Active: 2014-06-17, 18:38:34 That is almost exactly three years (plus one day, two hours, 59 minutes and 41 seconds). Coincidence? |

I have no personal interest in this matter; but, in general, when a company begins to stall on many of its customers, it is a waste of time to continue talking to them. It depends on your country, but you either go to a small claims court directly, or hire a lawyer who will notify them of your intention to sue if they do not deliver the goods/refund immediately; and then sue them right away if they don't.
WHY they failed to fulfill your order is totally irrelevant, you do not have to be "understanding". They are a business, so dealing with them should be strictly business.
In this case there is already a class action going on, so there is no need to think about that.
Also, do not waste your dream energy by dreaming of a takeover of the company by some miraculous management that would get your money faster or better than a lawsuit would. If the company cannot right itself under the pressure of lawsuits, it cannot be saved by a takeover. If a lawsuit cannot get your money back, a reborn company will not give it to you, either. That goes for MtGOX too, by the way.
EDIT: Also, when a company gets to the point of stalling on many of its customers, they stop caring for bad press in the internet or the media. Look at MtGOX. The most one can do through those means is warn other people before they send more money to the company.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Summary of Phinnaeus Gage's Investigation into Brock Pierce Thus Far
|

nobody wants this shitcoin. so it will die.
Brock Pierce is not the ordinary bitcoin scammer entreprneur. He is one of the few people in the "bitcoin community" (if not the only one) who built and managed a billion-dollar virtual currency corporation (IGE). A company that cornered the game currency market -- which I would have thought impossible to profit from, much less to corner. And he is somehow connected to KnC, and has longtime connections in China. And he is now the director of The Shrem Karpeles & Friends Foundation. Of course he can make blunders too. But methinks that bitcoiners should feel a bit worried about Realcoin... |

I wouldn't know that, I just registered Are there any more fun games around here? Primedice.com is very fun if you can afford some recreational gambling. Have you tried it yet? Is there anything more annoying than spam? Sockpuppets, maybe? Is that a statement or a question ? How could it be a statement, given that it has a question mark at the end? |

Not certain of fitting the socially acceptable profile of an academic but despite my best efforts, I do have enemies and is such a situation not common?
Aren't enemies like beacons, in that, although you very much want to keep clear of them, you are glad they are there because they show you whether you are in the right path? Isn't it always the ones you don't see that get you though? Surely you include the ones that you see, but do not recognize as such, don't you? But would that not require one to know the exact amount of enemies one may have? I suppose that depends on whether or not one follows the teachings of Sun Tzu. then, doesn't it? Sorry, which teaching specifically? Studies in The Art of War; isn't that obvious? Can you believe that I confused him with Lao-Tzu? |

Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin will plummet to $10 by first half of 2014

So I think first half of 2014 is really over now.
More than a month ago actually and it seems that we will be heading up in July. You must be a programmer. The first six months are 1 to 6, not 0 to 5. It doesn't matter how you count them, there are still 6 months in half a year ("six of one and half a dozen of the other"), and the last of them ended more than a week ago. So it was a false prophecy by a false prophet.  Check the dates on those quotes. On July 3rd, the first half had not ended "more than a month ago", only 3 days earlier. |
