Re: [WTS] 💲 💲 Amazon eGift codes 🔥 USA 🔥 💲 💲 [ESCROW ACCEPTED]
I have Amazon US at 85% UK at 80% and eBay at 85%.
BUYERS BE AWARE, I JUST GOT SCAMMED BY THIS GUY.
Here's how the GC scam works, I bought $100 worth of GC and went first.
He then sent about 24 Amazon codes valued from 4.1 to 4.98,
Only 5 Codes out of the 24 worked, All others had already been redeemed.
So I got only about $22 worth of vouchers, and lost about $63 in BTC.
I would give him the benefit of the doubt, let's say if he had acquired those codes from unknown/unverified sources,
but he's simply ignoring all my request to respond now, typical scammer behavior.
DO NOT Trade with this guy.
I do not follow this "pirate" thing, nor do I know much about any GLBSE listed "assets".
However, please consider the following hypothetical GLBSE listed company.
Someone places BMMM IPO on GLBSE. The company does not disclose what they do, however they pay rather good dividends. Everyone is happy (for now).
What they do is the following, they convert BTC's into USD's and "invest" it into a piramide scheme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM-2011 run by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Mavrodi that reportedly currently pays up to 50% per month of "dividends". BMMM pockets 30%, pays out 20% to their "investors". They also hope that with such "profitability" they will be able to accumulate enough money to buy out the shares once the "master ponzi" breaks down.

and read up on to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome it might get applicable.
The above is a ponzi scheme by proxy which BTW is pretty close to what all the investment banks out there are doing with the central banks and ultimately the fed being the "master ponzi".

Wow, a pawn ponzi inside of a master ponzi? This post opens my eye
pm meRe: FPGA Miner Design for Sale to Someone willing to Market It
Teraminer, just grab your cell phone and shoot some video of the FPGA in action. If you have one running it shouldnt take 10 minutes of your time. That should be good enough proof to assert you are not just trolling. In theory, it could still be a more elaborate hoax, but I kinda fail to see the point in anyone doing that.
maybe he doesn't really have a real prototype running yet, it's all in the brains.
A better Lost Coins recycling program:
Instead of losing all 50,000 coins at once if someone forgot about it for 3 years...
Make it so you lose only 10% of coins that's been idleing for 1 year
so an address with 50,000 coins would have 45,000 after 1 year, 40,500 after 2nd year... and so on
if this is indeed lost BTC, eventually it will gradually be redistributed into the econ again...
if this is someone's idle address, he would still be able to recover more than half of it after 5 years.

Anyone heard of that burger shop chain?
Too bad we don't have that burger shop around here locally.

Smoothie, you really should insist on honoring that bounty. Positive or not, fact is at one point, everyone saw your bounty up in the official thread, you can't just pull out like that, it would certainly damage your rep as a hero member around here.
i've only lost about $1000 so far.
how? u bought 2000 @ 7 ?
