We seem to be forgetting something:
PSA: scrypt.cc is a scam, most likely of the "ponzi" variety. You will lose your money if you try to "invest" or "play" or whatever you want to call your participation in this shitshow. You've been warned.

I really like you before you starting trolling so much!
You can call it anything you want, that doesn't bother me much.
What does bother me is an attempt to paint a scam as something legitimate. What's in it for you? Do you enjoy seeing people lose money? You're a gambler by your own admission. You should know by now that this kind of gambling (masquerading as an "investment" and playing by unpublished rules) is deceptive and dangerous, why do you keep defending it? Promote a legitimate casino if you must, help support the real Bitcoin economy.
1) Yelling at people almost every page is a classic trolling technique. You used to be much more mature, what happened to you?
2) I'm not painting anything legitimate. I pointed out repeatedly that I believe fractional mining is going-on. I didn't use that term here because I felt most people wouldn't understand it. (Selling 500 GHs and for real mining of ~100GHs is fractional mining)
3) All crypto-mining is a form of gambling. I'm not sure how a dice game promotes the bitcoin economy, that seems to be a pretty lame point. This could be large discussion itself. But every form of mining is placing bets on what is going to happen. Odds and stakes vary.
4) (Cross-over point) You need to get a clue about order books. Look at Hashnest they have tons of buy orders on the books like that. Does that mean they are engaged in fractional mining?
The current situation at scrypt.cc is toxic. I'm not recommending it or promoting that people go there. Trying to figure out what is really going on isn't doing that. I do have BTC tied up there that I would like to recover. I'm far from the only person in that boat.
For the record, I have far, far more tied up in LTCgear, which many of you really promoted in the past. For that I've joined a lawsuit to try and recover some.
