Your attitude in this thread has been abominable, but having read your
IRC message bragging that you were going to come here and "tear into burnside," I'm guessing that your lack of judgment is explained by your need to impress MP and his #bitcoin-assets fan club.
Thank you for that. I read the log. Depressing for sure.
BTC Trading Corp has retained US based representation. They are working out the various angles but these things take time. (and lots and lots of coins unfortunately)
In the meantime I'll re-iterate, the disclosure hasn't changed all of a sudden. The "new" disclosure is a nearly direct copy of the disclosure from the top of the terms of service everyone agreed to when they registered and the terms have not changed significantly since the site rolled out in December 2012. (hit up the wayback machine.) The whole point in this exercise was to (at risk of alienating users and killing volume) prevent potential users from being misled.
To put it bluntly. I do not want 0.2% of
any transaction in our environment where the buyer doesn't know
exactly what they're doing.
I hope that makes sense.
2. Clueless noobs arguing about how
the WoT is broken because Pirate had high cumulative ratings; clueless noobs arguing about how Burnside is credible because of high cumulative ratings
on this forum. The wonders of infinite hitpoints with you people.
Nevertheless, this isn't how these things work. It's your job to learn how they work, and you have absolutely no right to expect me to do your schooling.
I agree that any web based trust metric should be looked upon with extreme skepticism.
