"Working on it"
I've been extremely busy but have been keeping up on the forums. I was supposed to have a meeting with the lawyer yesterday, but he had a health emergency. Today I may or may not have more info.
Thanks Zach - I expect you will sort this out for the good of all.
Looking forward to solid facts and news when available.
All you all trolls and whiners - carry on..... those that are not trolls and whiners - thank you too.
What trolling and whining are you speaking about? I don't see much of that going on really. Thinking things are being worked out doesn't make the plain facts disappear. And if someone expresses themselves as being reasonably upset doesn't make a person a troll or whiner. Not sure if that is what you are referring to specifically.
Don't you think people have fair reasons to be upset with how their bond/contract(whatever) investments have been driven down to practically zero, and that there is no actual transparency on hardware or assets? And shouldn't people be very alarmed that LR appeared willing to violate the spirit of the original agreement? The fact alone should set off loud alarm bells. That is perhaps the biggest concern of mine.
LR has stated often how busy he is. Maybe, he is really busy. But meanwhile, consider these facts:
1) Can you currently sell a bond now for even 5% of the BTC0.15+ paid for initial bonds? No.
2) Can you buy/sell bonds easily yet on any platform? No.
3) Is there any transparency on LR dealings or assets? No.
4) Did LR appear ready to set bonds at a fixed hash-rate and violate the original terms? Yes.
If people are upset at any of these, and there are other possible & legitimate reasons, then don't you think they would be justified to voice discontent. If you are calling that trolling or whining, then you seem disconnected from that part of the reality of the situation. If you are referring to some other specific comments, then sorry, carry on since this doesn't apply.
Keep in mind I want to see LRM succeed. But not for the benefit and/or pride of a single person. Rather for the benefit of all investors (including Zack of course), and in accordance with the spirit of the original agreement. Different is okay, imo, but anything less would be a failure.
You sir are neither troll nor whiner....
All valid and agreeable points.
I'm glad you think so. I do try to be self-correcting and thus will admit if I'm wrong. And so far, the consensus off forum is that I'm fair and reasonable in my approach...and have even been thanked for bringing certain information, points and issues up.
In phone conversations with Zach, we've always have quite cordial conversations. So, if you see me being intense on the forum, it's with the best intention and not personal. And I'm pretty sure Zach knows this based on our private conversations. We've yet to get into any uncomfortable talk on the phone - and they have tended to be pretty informal chats. My only issue on the phone is he is overly secretive about some things which seem pretty trivial, especially considering that many investors have more personal assets at stake than he does.
Anyway, so if I ever comes off that I'm being too aggressive, remember the rule we should all have learned already in email. The lack of inflection can often seem more intense or in the other direction trivial when typed out.
Anyway. I'm glad there are some people like you that are positive about Zach's intentions. However, I did notice you do have perhaps the largest sell order in place.
