Seriously, this arguing from ignorance again...

Compare that to
Of course I am not going to speak about the financials of BFL, but anyone with even a modicum of common sense would understand that 20k Bitcoins while not quite a trivial amount, is a tiny fraction.
Whopdee for you. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would understand that you're attempting to compare your own secret recipe with Worchestershire sauce. You say your secret recipe is the best there is. Well done, but that's a claim, not any sort of proof. Get BFL listed and we can talk apples to apples (same goes for MtGox, obviously).
My point was that I have run and continue to run successful business(s) on the Bitcoin platform and yet somehow I've managed to do this without WOT... again shooting your theory to hell and gone.
Anecdotal evidence will hardly work in this context you realize. There's people who crossed the Atlantic in a barrel, that scarcely "shoots to hell and gone" the otherwise undisputed theory that you need some sort of ship in order to offer transatlantic transportation.
But for the record, as far as I'm concerned you're not much of a Bitcoin businessman. You're a forum loud mouth, currently stuck in the position of extracting BFL from the entire mess with the CEO-convicted-of-fraud, the entire mess with the "we've announced one spec, then the competition announced better stuff so we magically upped our spec", the entire mess with the "we're going to deliver in October except November except etcetera" and whatever other messes I don't know about, not being particularly interested in the completely marginal business you're in (mining, that is). So...yeah.
in fact, one you mentioned, MTGox, does not use it either... that kind of shoots your theory to hell right there.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense - hey, I like that expression! - would understand that had in fact MtGox used a GPG based system they wouldn't have found themselves in the sorry position of asking their entire userbase to change passwords and excuse the impending spam because "independent contractor" last year. If you weren't such a hard-headed ignoramus you might have noticed that Tux is in the WOT,
as well as mtgox itself.
Why do you persist? After having what you're doing wrong explained, you stop doing it and move on. Not too hard now is it? Do you particularly wish to be remembered as "that ignorant lazy fuck who couldn't get over the fact that ignorance and laziness aren't arguments"?
