Harrr that MPOE-PR really sucks! Rabble!

I just noticed the house bets.. So they are betting with their shareholders money on bets that they will resolve later themselves.. No wonder they break their own policies when placing/resolving bets.

MPEX is not the only service where they outright confiscate peoples BTC. 50% of BitBet.us dividends came from confiscated customer Bitcoins:

So what are "gracious donations to shareholders"? They are bets that are placed when the a bet was still open, but get's closed before your bet TX is confirmed by miners. So say you are about to bet 10 BTC on "Yes" for "North Korea will launch more missiles during May". If North Korea launches the missiles while you're sending the TX for the bet, BitBet.us will just keep the Bitcoins and not return them.

Having said all that, I repeat my previous recommendation:

If I had shares held in MPEX, I'd cash out now before this scammer runs with your money.

It is very likely that Polimedia SRL (Romanian limited liability) is breaking at bare minimum the Romanian law in three ways, there might be more and some international ones too. First there's gambling without a license (bitbet.us):

Secondly there's stocks/options/futures trading without a license (mpex.co):


The law itself AFAIK is only available in Romanian.

Thirdly they are not following the limitations imposed on limited liability companies in Romania (polimedia/mpex.co):

I got introduced to all these facts after BitBet.us scammed me some ~20 Bitcoins in winnings regarding a bet about BFL delivery. More information here:

I think the Bitcoin community could do without shady business like polimedia/mpex/bitbet/others we don't know about yet. If you think the same, spread the word. Other actions you can take is to contact nic.us and nic.co and let them know that their TLD domains are being used for possibly illegal activities. The .us domain names are also meant for entities residing in the US, so just mentioning this might be enough to bring the domains down. I already emailed the domain registrars, but more messages should not hurt.

Mircea Popescu, you truly are the best customer rep in the world http://polimedia.us/trilema/2013/i-am-the-best-customer-rep-in-the-world/

Just a tip, and I know your situation is a bit different out on the frontier of the internet, but generally when accusations are made or there is a problem with a company it is the job of the PR person to smooth things out.

Here someone accuses the company of blatant racism and you call them a 'shill' and 'scammor' with no evidence, then argue discrimination is a figment of someone's imagination.


 

And suddenly Minor Miner's theory gets a little meat on its bones.

Which butthurt scammer's sockpuppet are you?

just press the orange "ignore" button below MPOE-PR's avatar. it is already orange. trust me it is much better experience afterwards.

No, you're just a butthurt wannabe scammer that failed and can't read. Get lost.


So not only a financier-in-your-own-mind, but also a psychologist/psychiatrist-in-your-own-mind. Read this. Five times.


Your feeble attempts to interact with MP as if you were better than him will certainly end in tears. Yours.

Not trying to be an ass here, but funny, looking at the big picture, its you, who is having the trust problem of holding a few BTC for your upcoming service.

Thank you all, I have reached my conclusions:

- MP is probably suffering from NPD. This is sad, but from my previous experiences with people, I have learnt that there is not much an outsider can do about it. It is a -EV game trying to interact with such people.
- There is no reason for me to believe that MPOE-PR is a woman, or even a person other than MP.
- MPEx, like most bitcoin businesses, has a high expected failure rate. The scenario analysis gives PV of far less than the current price, which does not warrant investing.
- There is no evidence of MP having legit business before Bitcoin, so tread carefully with him. Like I told before, the powers entering Bitcoin now, are more likely to interact with their peers, and with all probability, the bitcoin-otc trust network will diminish in importance once Bitcoin hits mainstream. It has not been able to detect fraud before it happens, and even after, it does not effectively punish it. (Not saying that MPEx has much trust even there to begin with.)

Disclaimer: the fact that MPEx share price is falling -5% per day in its own exchange is not my fault. I did not short it, nor probably will. I try to operate in liquid markets only, that is why I am late to the bitcoin party. None of what I say is explicit reference to MPEx scamming me or anyone.

Was about to write about the deduction process, but unless you ask for it, I will save my and your time. Most people have ignored him already. I am slow to reach conclusions, and always hope the best from the people, so I am a complete opposite of him in this regard, and I have been scammed many times because of my naivety. I believe I am better off by joining the crowd and ignore.

Done.

My dealings with MPOE-PR (user) are the same. It seems they are only here to insult people and stir up trouble. I am yet to see them have a well thought out comment that adds value to a conversation.

In the quaint words of the Virgin Mary, what are you on about?!


Judging by your record that'd pretty strong signal to the contrary.

I've already successfully enabled others to short S.MPOE. Most of them profited by it. It's anecdotal, but that's how it's worked in the past.

What pump? How? Isn't S.MPOE paying ample dividends? Hasn't MPOE public and well functioning business model? To me it's evident Mircea is NOT motivated in any way to disrupt it by faking anything.

And as for my own experience, I have participated in S.MPOE IPO (back in April 2012 when it was done by email) and already got several times more bitcoins back by occassionally selling part of the shares. Also, I was successfully scalping it during periods of increased trade activity, making up to 1BTC/day (with crude code that was originally intended only to pound out bugs from coinbr codebase ) Also CoinBr activity increasingly proves there is genuine MPEx trading by hundreds of people. It already paid out several BTC total in referrals only, what you can independently confirm by asking in #bitcoin-assets.

Oh yeees, there's realistic possibility I got all this out of Mircea's or some other fool's pocket (why is that fool silent, then?), lol. I'm not trying to prove anything here, just presenting my POV that it served me well. Much better than spewing accusations on btctalk.

It is open to anyone who I can trust to not scam me.

I have at least 100k shares for you to borrow for your short. PM me, we can work out terms.

Okay, I am undecided now 

Mircea posts some intelligent thoughts in the blog, and I kind of admire him/her? for doing things that others haven't been doing. But after all that porn, negative p/l statements what comes to actual, incorporated businesses, and paying people to post under fake accounts, what should I be trusting? (Also s/he has not commented on my idea, how to structure a bitcoin company, I put it there to probe his/her IQ, and so far I am dissatisfied with no answer, other than one-liners calling me "a nobody with nothing", despite powerful evidence to the contrary.)

If there is anyone who actually owns the shares in S.MPOE, how about showing up to give the thing some credit? I think it would be good for the prospects of your shares. I have considered shorting it in a serious way, which would destroy your value.

There is a realistic possibility to me, that S.MPOE is in fact not owned by many actual individuals, rather than by few with multiple forum and bitcoin accounts. So please, consider my offer and be forewarned. I am just a messenger.

I know big boys are entering the bitcoin arena now, and no matter whether these suspicions of mine prove out to be correct or not, I do not see much chance for S.MPOE to beat BTC in the years coming. (BTC should be doing great.)

Yet another field in which your understanding is wrong. Hopefully you won't run out of things to fail at.
