> at least it would be a positive encouragement for him
you got the idea exactly how I hoped it would come across.
something positive to cheer up and encourage to walk a few extra steps our direction.
I'm in. Who is willing to send some flowers James' way? A couple of coins should do. I pledge 1.
I pledge 1 as well
plus the paperwork (book keeping of this micro project)
could someone who knows his address/phone PM me how to have them delivered?
I do not need to know the address but the florist will need it (the last mile)
"flowers for James" running total so far 2 btc // if it's inappropriate in this thread I'll go and start a new one
I think flowers are a nice idea. Chocolate might be more appropriate for a guy but its eaten and gone. Some flowers with happy colors can sit on the table and give a good feeling a longer time.
I searched google for london flower delivery and similar and its astonishing expensive. 30gbp for a colorful bouquet. I would give 0.6BTC, which is the btc i got back from nefario as the money in my glbse-account. I think with that amount it should be possible to get something.
And i would say that a card would be good. Something like: "Please do what you can to solve this and please make sure that the asset infos are coming soon. It would be nice to have daily updates on the progress too. We wish success!" Maybe something like this. This way we can say whats the flowers are for and what wishes it transports. So he will have it in mind when seeing the flowers.
Good to see that some people here can think successoriented, through corners and are past black-white-world-view.
Nefario wants to prove or force to prove or want to win a bet or whatever it was that even after closing GLBSE, nothing changed the Bitcoin market.
I think that would be to hard for a bet. Think about how much he would lose. The ceo-income plus the share-dividends as a shareholder. I doubt he would risk this with a bet.
As the time passes, the inclination of shareholders to pursue diminishes. This is the psychological aspect. If Nefario indeed gives out the information, you will see that most issuers that were responding while GLBSE was alive will have stopped responding. I'd be surprised if most of them do continue fulfilling their contractual obligations actually.
Second, GLBSE will no longer actively pursue issuers. Most information that we need to pressure issuers with will not be made available, which will strengthen the first point. This wasn't and wouldn't be the case while GLBSE was alive, and we made investments based on that belief.
Third, the way the data is handed over will be disputed, which will allow issuers play the exact tricks Nefario is playing on us right now. Most likely, the shareholders will never get any proof of ownership. It will be totally up to the issuers' conscience.
You could be right. At least it cant help if more and more time goes by. And i think some shareholders will react like goat who claimed that he dont want to use a spreadsheat with numbers and codes to find out who are his shareholders. So if an issuer wants to find an excuse he probably will. The only thing is that an excuse like that wouldnt be good when other asset issuers dont have the same problem. I think we have no choice to wait and see how many of them are honest.
