A "common mistake" is when a contract is predicated on a belief that both parties shared without which they would not have entered into the contract and wherein the incorrect belief is not due to significantly greater fault on the part of either party. In essence, the parties made an argument that is about something that does not exist. In that case, it may impossible or inequitable to enforce the contract as agreed.

Great. Except none of that applies. Which is why i've made the remark i've made.
THERE IS NO common mistake here. The contract was simple.

A lends X to B
B is obliged to return X+interest to A

That. Is. All.
Everything preceding that has no bearing on that contract. Can you understand that?

In this case, the loans that formed the basis of the contract turned out not to be what both sides thought they were

There is no "thought" in a contract.

Explaining that the failure that resulted in the loans going bad was due to a mistake made jointly by both parties and thus not equitably allocatable entirely to one of them. Patrick is as much a victim here as those who loaned him money -- assuming he eventually makes some kind of reasonable settlement for a portion of the principle.

You are making no sense. Are you living in the vicinity of a strong reality distortion field of some kind?

1) you ask me for money,
2) i ask you if you're a reputable, honest member of the society, with a steady income,
3) you say yes,
4) i lend you the money, we sign a contract agreeing on the interest rate and date of return,
5) you gamble 1/3rd of it, waste 1/3rd on hookers and snort the last 1/3rd
6) you fail to return the principal
7) you fail to pay the interest

In the JoelKatz world, that means we're both equally guilty. And it's a "common mistake", whatever that means.
Here's how the above sequence of events looks like in the real, grownup world:

4) i lend you the money, we sign a contract agreeing on the interest rate and date of return,
6) you fail to return the principal
7) you fail to pay the interest

THERE IS NO SUCH THING as a "common mistake" in contracts. Contracts are an if-then thing. IF i give you X, THEN you return X+Y. IF you fail to return X+Y, THEN you default. That's all there is to it.

Oh for chrissakes, i was kidding.
I've meant that as in "a tag for fleet-footed scammers".

Guy turns around for a minute and there's a flame-war a-brewin'. Sheesh.

So you're a Pyramid Scheme Passthrough?

Don't be silly, he's a pyramid scheme pretending to be a pyramid scheme passthrough for a pyramid scheme that's pretending not to be a pyramid scheme.

Bitcoin mining isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, nor is Bitcoin itself for that matter.

Damn.

I don't get it. Don't all these rules apply for *any* currency?
What's bitcoin specific here?

Which, for some, apparently equals to 10 posts. Or maybe 20. Or maybe... who knows really.
The whole concept should be renamed to "newbie tar-pit" Smiley
