I don't know what kind of bubble you live in
If your defense is "oh but I didn't know cause I don't read the forums or mpex or go on IRC or anything else" that means YOU are the one in the bubble. Good luck with that.
I read the forum plenty, please direct me to a place where you announced your offering prior to my own proposal, preferably in a relevant section.
You may be right that I am missing out on IRC, but it doesn't seem like a very productive medium to me. I can usually be found in #bitcoin-il though.
I don't follow mpex closely, nor do I see a reason why I should.
Meni can you create a negative MPEx bond instead? That is, a bond allowing us to short the continued existence of MPEx. I would invest heavily in such a bond
That's... Interesting, I guess.
