Total nonsense Jimothy,I think I was very clear. If pb fails, were all going to be talking about it out here, if that day comes its not going to be did it fail or did it not, if you didnt get your payment , it failed , High hopes for ever getting any more payments. Funny how you think I dont understand things. How many people in the past many ponzi's got a soft landing? did they have hope? hope that they going to get their 200 bucks back in that chain letter the neighbor talked them into. I was offered unfair deal by puppet , that why I didn't accept his deal, can't hire two lawyers to figure bitcoin mining profitabliity and how much of to blame on PB.
What if pbmining later transfers 100% of their customers hashrate to KNC/Bitfury without ever proving they owned hardware? What if they start charging outrageous fees? Will you consider that a fail or not? The point is to remove opinions from the equation.
Like Mr. Teal said, I don't think you understand Puppets terms. He is just saying that if the payouts drop below the theoretical yield (i.e. introducing fees or something) then he wins. It has nothing to do with difficulty/profitability. It's exactly what you wanted to bet on, only without ambiguous terms.
