Lets be fair here, Satoshi Dice is not listed on MPEx right now, not to mention they got fined by the SEC over it. I would not call that a success.
But MPEx is exactly and only where S.Dice was IPO'd and exactly not what Erik was fined for (that was the earlier GLBSE security based on his Twitter parasite).
The only asset really getting any volume is the exchange itself. Their volume is so fake its like shitting a brick and telling someone its a brick of gold. Not to mention that their site is currently down right now...
Seems to be up now here, but the point is that it emphasizes being a platform over a site. The www portion could be censored to hell, but the beast can function so long as the trading engine offers access.
Not to mention that Mircea either pays / operates several accounts on this forum that are known trolls. Why would you trust your money with a troll? I would rather trust my funds with Cryptostocks than MPEx
Their site also needs an update... For 30
BTC a head you would expect something looking a little nicer than a 1990's era UI
What you'd rather trust a nice doge coiner with slick modern Ajax and see the underlying sink from 300 satoshis per to 35? That critics are mean is
not a useful counter critique.
For the record Mircea has paid many reliably many times before for a number of purposes, but not for posting on this forum.
I will conceed though that I interact with MPEx through Coinbr (if I do at all) simply because I won't admit to having the 600+ BTC it would take to make a direct license worthwhile. Mircea creates a space around himself through MPEx and other tools where people can act sanely according to principles Bitcoin supports. That is the value of the enterprise.
