You guys are so ridiculous sometimes.

I've dared to looked at a pirate, eye to eye, and I can say that I'm happy that I did.

wait, what?

so pirate comes out with this public meeting, basically calling out the whole community.. if you dare, and all that

then only has shill-based confirmation (hardly any), and it's "you guys" that are being ridiculous?

Some stuff from IRC: Goat seems to confirm, but Tuxavant says he did not appear yet.

Vandroiy, well I know he was saying he was going to show, but we've not met yet. he said he would contact several of us.. but nobody has seen him
(...)
Vandroiy, I know of at least two people he said he would contact at DC and has not.

I guess we'll know more soon, when DefCon ends and people talk about it.

I give pirate credit for having the balls to conduct this ponzi with so much flair.
I think we are seeing the creation of a very successful pyramid scheme like amway/a2k (whatever they currently call themselves to dodge bad PR).

They dont always fail, occasionally the people at the top get ludicrously rich and have 0 dependence on their pyramid except as an income.

I applaud his efforts and eagerly wait for the outcome whatever it is, It a shame I could not make it to vegas as this would have been a very interesting show to see.

youre right ,they dont always fail ,investigators suspect bernie madoff had been running his for about 39 years (from around 1960 to 1999 and never missed an interest payment in that period )

everyone who wanted to withdraw always got a cheque issued immediately,if the authorities didnt close in ,his operation might have lasted even longer

So, no pictures indicates Pirate is currently using scopolamine on all of the people present to turn them into his Zombie army of the dead? Grin

Oh and for the people who cannot spot a joke when it hits them in the face. This is a joke.

This is a Zombie thread now!! Awesome Wink

. So there I was in my bunker with only 1200 rounds of .308 left for the 1919A4 and M1A...

I was expecting DEFCON pictures. Is that so much to ask for for someone who has 5-10% of the entire bitcoin economy in pocket?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think electronic devices (including cameras) are allowed inside.

You're wrong.

To prove that the person showing up in Vegas claiming to be pirate (if any) is pirateat40 indeed (with high probability), he could in the presence of many of the trusted forum members catching up with him, perform a live payout to its BS&T lenders. Because 00:00 am on Monday the 30th is due day for his regular dividends for BS&T this one could come as some bonus payout in order to prove pirate's credibility. It wouldn't have to be a large sum also, maybe 1 Satoshi to everyone. It would require a large amount of trust though, for pirate to hand over access to all his funds to some double standing in for him in Vegas.

Why would he ask someone else to go to Vegas for him?
Maybe to cloak his real identity and to stage this proof of trust, that many would fall for and give him the credibility, while he gives none to the community. He could also prepare his impending exit, while the world believes, that he still attends the Vegas convention every day.

Great idea.
