If the point of this thread was for Pirate to "show himself" at Defcon so that investors would have more confidence, I don't think this has been fulfilled.
What we have is a picture of a bunch of people, with people saying "This is me with pirate" or "I think I know who Pirate is here".
Why is everybody else so afraid to pinpoint who Pirate is? What is the point of the picture if not to show who Pirate is?

PS! I have money in some PPTs so I'm no detractor, just a bit tired of the games that seem to be played here..

Pirate is 3rd from the right. His real name is Trendon Shavers and he lives in McKinney, TX. He will be turning 30 in September.

Of course, nobody will believe me because if they do it takes all the fun out of it.

All this information is available via google, and if you're investor you should already know all of it or you didn't do you due diligence and one day you will be scammed by a real scam artist. Pirate, on the other hand is just a smart guy trying to get rich by helping bitcoin reach it's full potential.

I don't quite understand the fascination with Pirate.

I was at an early age told that 'it's no such thing as a free lunch'.

I haven't followed Pirate intensely, but I see there's a lot of speculation and so on.

Fact is that he was offering 7% on your bitcoin deposit weekly, don't know if he still
is offering these rates.

No matter how skilled, knowledgeable and bold Pirate is, I would definately not
put any bitcoins in his hands that I was not willing to risk 100%. At the moment
that equals 0 bitcoins.

Obviously anyone should do as they chose, but the math simply doesn't add up here.

When the 'bank run' or 'hack' day comes, I hope you are in a position that you easily
can recover from.

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. So, the greedy wish for some interest,
could soon turn out to be a losing proposition.

And when the shit hits the fan, the living room is going to be full of it.

Take care.

Its strange how you missed inviting who I consider the one person in the bitcoin community doing more for mass adoption than all of you combined..

Im in awe of Tuxavants dedication to Bitcoin.. and I applaud him...

Almost nobody, including yourself, contacted me about meeting up in Vegas. I posted in this thread early on that I would be there.

How do you figure that it is my job to invite people?

Um. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but that is a huge statement that I would like to distance myself from. I proselytize my ass off, but there are plenty more of 'you' that contribute much more tangible efforts to the community (edit) and deserving of that statement.

O whoops, must of been someone else who's IRC handle started with a T. I was a little busy playing poker in the poker room. Go figure.

It was tuxblackedo who came with the other two to the poker room. I have corrected my original post. I knew it was "Tux" something. Tongue

The only bad thing here is that photo full of poindexters is making all the money. Notice the only one traveling with a female is the guy on the left that looks like Andy Gibbs daughter. I don’t begrudge any of them the money now. They need it to get laid!

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not sure a smoke filled casino is the place for my 5 month old to hang out.

Otherwise, I would definitely have brought my wife with me. :p

Is pirate@40 immortal? Or maybe the 40 is counting the decades. I found this photo on wikipedia that looks a lot like the woman identified as "not pirate".

He turns 30 this year.

Pirate, lol it's about damn time.
I hope you realize that this is probably the single most important thing you've done to build trust for your operation (in my opinion, at least).

Care to explain why?

Are you the 3rd one from the right?

That was my guess as well based on the OTC picture.

If you can't ID pirate, goat, or giga then you shouldn't be playin' this game.

The question is... who is 'not pirate' there is some intrigue there... even from pirate himself.
