Wow this thread just reminded me, what ever happened to Phinnaeus? Did he say wether he was gOing out did he just vanIsh one day?
He needed a loan from BurtW and used his account as collateral. From the looks of it he has not yet repaid the loan and I would not be entirely surprised if the account has since been sold
How much did he get for the account?
IIRC it was a 2.5
BTC "loan"
It does not appear the loan has been repaid as the account has still not logged in for several months. I would assume at this point that the loan is in default. The account also has much less positive trust then it previously did (I believe it has a lot more previously).
Bruno needed two and a half Bitcoins so bad he hocked his account? I find that really hard to believe. He had thousands of btc at one point and multiple ASIC miners.
I've yet to mine a single satoshi with any type of bitcoin mining rig.
Didn't you lose over 1000 coins to Davout? When Bitcoin100 first started you were giving out whole Bitcoins to honor the pledges of anyone that defaulted. You must have been sitting on a fat stack of btc to be able to do that. If you never mined, even with the miners you got for free, where did you get all the coin? Did you buy them?
