appreciate that.  i'm not happy it took that long, either, but the longer i am in this particular industry, the more i see all of the places where things can and do go wrong.

again, the reason i stick my name on businesses i am a part of is specifically to put my reputation on the line.  i regret putting my name on all of the various bitcoin businesses i've been a part of (i'm an anarchist, but i've learned in the past 2 years that most of us are scammers), but i will continue to promote bitcoin and get beyond these messes, although i am now no longer a privacy advocate and don't work with anonymous vendors, lol.

i also will never, ever, ever invest in businesses where the other partners/owners do not put their names on the line as well.  lessons: learned.
