Your speaking to my point by taking something simple and going nuclear with it. Its not screwing over those that have made a better return. I am speaking of those that have made a ridiculous profit already, and it would be temporary, and yes, the same criteria could be applied to all accounts so that its evened out. IE, once my accounts have profited say 110% fiat based, my payouts are halted for awhile. But its likely all moot, because pyra has his way of running things and doesnt seem to want to pay any heed to his investors.
Who the hell are you to say if someone's profit was ridiculous or not?
It doesn't matter if it is "temporary" or not... later on there will be some other reason to "temporarily" screw them...
That isn't what they signed up for... and they are not his investors... When you bought into Pyramining, you entered into a mining contract. That contract isn't complete until the terms of the contract have been fulfilled.
Another thing to keep in mind, that when you purchased your contract, your hashrate is based on what the fiat conversion rate was at the time your deposit was made. Those who you want to screw, are already being screwed, as they currently have less hashpower per 1 BTC, than you would have making the same deposit today.
This has nothing to do with you being in a better position because of your choices. Its not about you vs me, its about our individual contribution to pyramining and the fact that without asic investors for both rounds, the gpu/fpga investors would not be payouts at all.
Of course it is... you're argument targets those who you believe to be "better off" than others...
When we purchase hashpower, unless you've been living under a rock for the past 4 years, you know that your rate of return is going to be going down the longer your hashpower is active, due to the difficulty rate. We know this going into it, and if you don't know it, how is your willful ignorance anyone else's problem?
Because I invested in the asic round instead of fpga does not make me less entitled to the profits that I expected when I invested.
You're getting the profits you paid for.
In the same vein, because your an fpga investor and have been in since the beginning does not make you some of kind of god or all powerful being.
Those who invested at that time are getting much less hashpower.
And again, your repeating the same lines I have heard the gop trumpet on fox news when it comes to things like minimum wage hikes, etc. Lets completely ignore the facts that have proven time and time again and just keep repeating the same lies because no matter how ridiculous something is the more you repeat the more true it becomes.
The facts don't change just because they're inconvenient to you, and they aren't lies. You guys just are too myopic to see the big picture. (and since you keep trying to drag political parties and attacks into this, I'm a Libertarian, not a Republican.)
But wait, I know whats going on. You mortgaged your house way back when to invest in pyra and if your payouts are halted for even a month or 2 you will lose your house, in that case go get food stamps and get over it.
Food stamps are your thing, not mine... and all I care about is getting what I paid for, and having the terms of the contract I entered into when I purchased my hashpower, honored.
I'm not a big investor... if you were to add up all of the hashpower I purchased together, as if it all completed right now, it would still amount to less than 10 BTC.
How much I purchased, isn't the point... We made a deal with pyramining for hashpower. We made a contractual obligation. That contract has to be kept, or else nobody's "investment" is safe... not even yours... if that contract can be ignored on a whim of a group of people, whining, because someone else has more, and is still getting what they paid for.
Bitcoin came into existence to get away from that class-warfare socialistic bullshit that is eating away our fiat in the first place. HELL NO am I going to go along to perpetuating that same crap here.
If you can't handle a free market, a free enterprise, and Libertarian values, then do everyone a favor, yourself included, and cash the fuck out and stay in the fiat where it can be manipulated to your heart's content.
(and on that note, that's the last I'll say on this particular topic, until it comes back up again in a month or two, when some other mental lightweight decides to let their jealousy make them stupid again.)
