Not gonna comment on the contents of this thread because i didnt read every word, only skimmed most of it.
Just wanted to chime in about my experience dealing with waldohoover.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230391.0The main thing to look at is the last couple pages. To sum it up, I noticed some discrepancies and he fixed them and gave a little extra while at it. Yes this is dealing in pocket change, but i have had a positive experience with him. As far as how the main deal went, i read everything and knew what i was in for. Unfortunately the market and difficulty led to (probably) a permanent stop to mining, but hey thats bitcoin.
