Please keep these anti-ponzi threads active so we can put an end to the ponzi madness. At the time of writing this, 5 or so threads have been moved but still 10 out of 40 = 25% of the posts in this section are ponzi scams!
And this is after the admins actually moved 5+ threads away. Unfortunately it might just be even more profitable to post more ponzi threads if the admins remove the old ones.

Re: Fucking Ponzi's and the idiots that buy into them
Ponzis are only illegal because they try to masquerade themselves as a genuine investment. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
Because it's utter bullshit. Ponzis are illegal for a number of reasons, deception being only one of them. For one matter, a Ponzi is, as a matter of law, a business operating while insolvent. For another, fraudulent schemes depending on the behavior of others have been considered violations of the Lottery Act, as they have all the criteria (chance consideration and reward). The policy considerations are that Ponzis invariably collapse eventually, and often create havoc when they do, with bankruptcies that go on for decades costing enormous amounts of court time and money.
Even though I don't think a "game" that is openly calling itself a ponzi is really illegal unless it claims to have guaranteed payouts, I think this forum section has been totally spammed by all these scams so I bump this.

Re: Vera&John - First licensed online casino to accept Bitcoin
What sucks about these casinos is that you still have to do age verifcation and all that bull crap sign up crap, Rather stay with bitcoin casinos, they are only copying us now, cause they want piece of the pie, why give them our business, when they didnt want it long ago.
What other casinos like this are there? ('coz this one kicks some serious)
I want to store my Bitcoins offline but have no access to a printer. I have an encrypted USB drive, a Macbook, and a 500 GB HD.
How can I securely encrypt my wallet.DAT file in order to store it on these devices?
Is there a better way to store coins offline for someone who does not have a printer ?
You can use a brain wallet. Please note that you don't need to remember a complete private key in order to create a brain wallet, the priv key can be generated from your password.

Any servers running in the U.S.? Good business practice nowadays is to avoid U.S. completely, not just have some offshore paperwork and backup in Canada...
By the time you realize there is an issue and manually put out a text message, every automated BOT in existence will have already executed a trade. Not to mention by the time your recipients get the text and react everyone else would have already got a twitter feed and reacted sooner. I see no benefit in your system.
A tool that prevents you from panic selling would be more valuable.
