Yes, I was deluded by glittering visions of risk-free windfalls, which I should have realized were an economic impossibility. Greed + confirmation bias is a PITA.
Seriously you/hashfast are full of shit.
You didn't have any sort of epiphany about your delusions, you simply changed your opinion to fit your agenda which has always been promoting hashfast as the best who can never do anything wrong.
There is nothing "economically impossible" about btc refunds. Any competent company with that policy would keep the btc payments in cold storage instead of converting them to USD and gambling on the exchange rate.
"Epiphany?" Nope, I simply discussed the matter with a bright law school student for about 45 seconds. She introduced me to the concept of a 'windfall' and that was that. In retrospect it was obvious.
How was HF supposed to both A) keep the BTC in cold storage, and B) pay for the chips/boards/machines to be produced? That doesn't make sense! Those are mutually exclusive actions.
The kicking and screaming from those who refuse to acknowledge their mistakes is deafening.
As for PG and PM's dox and stalk sideshow, what is the point now that everyone but Simon and Eduardo have been laid off?
Are they just trying to distract everyone from their lulzy failure to secure windfalls at the cost of losing the opportunity for a full refund, or what?
