Do you live in the U.S. (It will make sense later on [I hope])?
Do you consider BitCoin to be a form of currency?
Why the questions? I believe (could be wrong, I'm not a lawyer) that in the U.S. (which I'm located) that any company that deals with money and the public are required to disclose.
BCP did not disclose anything. Please read this thread for details. They did not so much as post a link like you did.
If something like this happened to you, would you think it a scam?
You go to your bank to withdraw some money. You are told you can't because of a fee. What fee, you ask?
The fee that you should have known before you got here.
How can I learn about this fee?
You can go to many places to learn about the fee. Many places, but not here.
OK, maybe the site's owner was relying in ignorance
Maybe? Please read this thread from the start (reread if you have to). After that, then don't you think you should do a re-write and get rid of the maybe?
think you know what bitcoin is before use his service.
No, that is not the case. It
may (I'm being nice here) have been the case at one time.
Now, they know.
Lack of information isn't always a scam, or scam sign, if the thing is meant to be widely known.
OK, what about the fee you are talking about. Why is it still 0.01 (I tried to transfer yesterday and it was still there)? As you may know, that the fee is 0.0005 now. Does it seem like a scam to you yet?
What about JK's information (taken from another thread):
The fee is per transaction, not per recipient. Assuming he's paying 10 people at a time out of a block he mined a few hours ago, he never would have to pay anywhere near .01 per recipient. Maybe it's a scam, but maybe he's just too lazy to group his transactions. If he keeps doing very small payouts from the same block, he's doing one transaction per payout and they're all going to be with newish coins.
Still not a scam?
Calling scammer to someone so lightly over a community that's 90%+ trust based is bullshit!
If you are saying that BCP is in the 10% that should not be trusted, then I agree.
Either you've solid evidence or zip it!
You want proof. Goto
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=17099.0 and read (not just my posts). After that, ask me questions on things that you are unsure of. Until you read my proof, could you please zip it (notice, I said please).
Spread FUD is an attack on the community.
I don't understand this, however I will respond.
What I'm spreading is truth. The truth is that BCP has and is still scamming people. I do not see how me telling the truth about BCP is hurting BitCoin or the BitCoin network.
Truth should not spread FUD (Fear, uncertainty and doubt).
FEAR: I do not think that anyone is fearful of BCP. Their crime does not involve murder, rape, dismembering etc. They are just stealing small amounts of BTC from people.
Is that something to be afraid of? Avoided, yes. Feared, no.
UNCERTAINTY: No I am certain that BCP is scamming people. Hopefully you will read that and came to that yourself. I understand that you may not think that they are scamming (some would rather hope I use another word), however I think you would at least realize that BCP is not doing some things right. I haven't said that are scamming everyone, just some (which makes it such a great scam). I haven't even said that they are no-good (as in: they can bring nothing to the table). From what I read, if you have a website (or websites), then BCP could be a good fit for you. I don't have a website, so I can only tell you what I read.
What am I saying? Even with the things that they bring for websites, they are still scamming people.
DOUBT: Yea, I want you to doubt them. If you have read every thing then I'm sure you will see why you should doubt. Keeping in mind that the people with websites do not have a problem BCP (none that I heard of). OK, that is not 100% true. Some have expressed that they do not like that BCP doesn't disclose. However it is working for them (so let the BitCoins roll in). I would hope that they (website owners who use BCP) would keep an eye on BCP. I think that is the wise thing to do.
