I never said this would legitimize our business. The video was posted just to show some of our infrastructure. As per a legitimization i was hoping matthew would consider checking our source code as proposed before, but seems he changed his mind. Also we'll be taking further steps to open up data about actual transactions and fund deposited on our site.
I do not want to see you shut down your site. I want to see you run a service which both offers profit to the users and benefits to the markets and overall bitcoin system. If your service does what you say it does, this seems like a sure thing.
However, we cannot trust you, and you seem unable to establish any sort of trust between your clients or your skeptics. Perhaps it was unlucky to post the video straight after a series of accusations by other forum users, but it seemed very reactionary. As a professional, you can't afford to appear like that. It undermines the (supposedly) professional service you are offering. You are not offering a 'toy' service. You are a businessman. Act like one. You owe it to yourself.
I am not one to dictate standards, but if you are as experienced as you say you are, in the field of
money of all things, you are failing to set any sort of standard whatsoever. Maybe you are, but we don't know, and apparently never will. I am posting in the hope that you can change your ways, establish trust, act in a professional manner that is suitable for the kind of industry you are part of, and that the bitcoin community can be pleased to have you among them. As I said, it seems like you could be potentially offering a valuable service, why not establish some trust and see that potential met?
I am still skeptical of your service. I have tried in this post to give you every excuse possible that you are legit. I hope I am not making an ass of myself if you prove to be a scammer.
To users of bitscalper: I understand you won't be sad if you lose your 1BTC. I understand the personal risk is minimal with those amounts. But the risk to the bitcoin community by supporting these sorts of operations is too high. Please, demand a minimum level of service beyond just the income. You owe it to the community you are part of. Don't put your money into bitscalper until you can be sure you can trust them. Same goes for any company really. Idealistic? Yep!
