Wait, wat?  Mainstream press?  If you find wikip in error, edit it.  All it takes is an a willingness & ability to type.

I'm not saying it is wrong, so I won't edit it. I just find it an ironic collateral effect of WP "no original research" policy. There are obviously doubts about what happened regarding the inputs.io fiasco. Quoting this article made the alleged hack "verifiable" in the History of Bitcoin article.

Anyway, it's no big deal for me.

As for editing Wikipedia, I have 100+ contributions since March 2006 and even wrote an entire article, albeit small, almost from scratch (i.e. a very smallish stub).

I no longer hold any BM securities, but I'm worried about our "Family Guy" here!

The hit & run scenario makes so little sense. Just look at how TradeFortress could (kind of) get away with a straightforward "I was hacked" approach. It's even made its way to Wikipedia thanks to the mainstream press agencies' simplifying glass... whereas AFAIK no one can really know for sure what happened.

I've applied to the google group, and sent the required PM.......48 hours, still no reply or acceptance........

I can assure whoever is running the group I'm NOT connected to creativeX other than the fact that I live in Michigan and he fucked over on 200 shares. I've also been a member here for almost 2 years.



There's no point applying directly to the group since there is no way to tell which bitcointalk user that is. Do drop bomb a pm with the email address you wish to use for access.

I live in Michigan and was thinking of taking a drive up to Lansing this weekend to check out the listed addresses. I'd like to settle the 200 outstanding shares I own.......or plug a miner or two in at my house

Pm tbomb and join in the discussion  Undecided
^^^ THIS!

And in all seriousness, if it ever comes to it, we might actually need someone in or nr MI to run the hardware.

good luck getting CX to release those miners lol

Nevermind that only creativex and burnside know how many shares each address has.

If these is a scam I'm afraid that burnside is in the same position with creativex. What do you think why he must shut down BTC-TC operation.

You're naive if you think that BASIC is why burnside shut down BTC-TC

No, I don't think so, but these is one problem more for burnside and in the end one of the reason why BTC-TC is closed.

He'll never say it, but it was possible future issues with the SEC. He got legal advice on running the exchange and then, bam, a month and a half later it's gone.

of course the lack of compliance was a big issue.. that's why Burnside had caveats all over the website saying "this is just a game, everything is virtual" etc... of course we all knew that, legally those caveats didn't hold water, but that didn't seem to worry Burnside until shit hit the fan and people started talking about bringing in the authorities....

as you say he probably got legal advice that said something like.. "you may be complicit in facilitating the scams if you keep offering un-vetted securities."

I think if CreativeX/Eric was going to do a runner he would have moved the miners onto a different bitcoin address because all transactions from Our bitcoin address can be tracked. .. the fact that we are still mining gives me hope that he has just buried his head in the sand and can't deal with all the Investor backlash.

I might do some analysis on the payouts and see if the additional 800GH has been deployed yet.

last  time I checked we had about 220 BTC 1200 NMC and 1000 or so Litecoins... given that all cryptos are skyrocketing.. I'd love to see him come back and cash in some of those lightcoins to buy some more AMD Cards  Litecoin miners....

Agreed .. if anything it was Labcoin and Active Mining that shut down BTC-TC that then shut down Basic Mining.

Eric probably crapped his pants when he realized how difficult paying out dividends for direct shares would be..
