Right. Let's look at an example of this "
I'm going to recklessly and stupidly throw my BTC around without the slightest clue of what I'm doing and then demand that the people who get hit with my projections fix my problems for me" at work:
23:20:00 dub: snackman: its unfortunate for you yes, perhaps you should try to understand what youa re dealing with next time
23:21:06 snackman: dub That's an unnecessarily moralistic approach, and furthermore a hallmark of self-affected geeks' fear/loathing of the mainstream, which I think is misplaced in this instance
23:21:15 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12500 @ 0.0008353 = 10.4413 BTC [-]
23:21:24 mike_c: snackman: here it is without snark. say your bet lost. all you would have to do is send a different transaction with a fee that would get confirmed first and you didn't lose anything.
23:21:47 snackman: bitbets, if it would like to be a great service, should make itself easy to understand and operate, and not have stupid rules like this one
23:22:38 snackman: mike_c I don't understand
I would disagree that I hit anyone with my "projections" [sic], and that in fact I was harmed by your site's
unfair policy, which
you have yet to explain the rationale for. Also, taking my statement "I don't understand" out of context is pretty low.
So that's:
1. Deciding you're ready for BTC either without knowing or without caring about transaction fees;
I know and care about transaction fees, but Bets of Bitcoin did not properly operate my transaction.
2. Deciding you're ready for betting without knowing or without caring about the way betting services work;
You are right: I made a mistake by assuming that I was dealing with a reputable institution.
3. Betting when the resolution criteria being met was an imminent event;
If your site allows betting, people will bet.
4. Using Bets of Bitcoin without having done any due diligence, which would have revealed that they're pretty much useless, for reasons including their lack of using tx fees;
I am much more disappointed with BitBet's conduct than Bets of Bitcoin's.
5. Not reading or not caring about BitBet's FAQ and the open, fully explained, warnings about the rare potential for this very situation on this very forum;
How much bitcoin has BitBet taken in from this practice?
6. Insisting that it's other people who are stupid, such that those who were attempting to help you out lost interest in your ranting.
I have not insulted anyone.
That you have the gall to suggest that it's someone other than yourself that dropped the ball is pretty incredible.
You are outrageous.
I notice you deleted your erroneous suggestion that I
cancel my bet by sending more bitcoin to you, which would not have arrived before bet closure and would also have been stolen.
