While this sort of thing will probably be embarrassing and in the long term and I'm sure Usagi isn't particularly excited about that post, who cares? I know I've been on the forums drunk before, it can be quite fun and makes a lot of the bullshit much funnier (I personally ended up going off on someone spamming links in the pyraming thread). That being said six hours (per timestamps) is plenty of time to sober up, worst case is he's got a hangover at this point. That being said I'd say it does mean he gives a shit about his investors and realizes that the situation sucks no matter how you look at it.
I for one am not embarrassed. I do not run a mining company with hardware in the next room. If GLBSE closes, CPA closes, BMF closes, and NYAN closes. Poof. We just hold assets on GLBSE. That was in most of the contracts "...only invest ... GLBSE".
Yeah so I got drunk (first time in a month or two) and then this happened and I suddenly became very sick. Yes, I am a human being. Thank you for noticing.
If anyone plans to try and troll me over this it would be pretty pathetic but whatever.
You got drunk, I don't care, and I agree that it'd be a pretty weak point to attack you on. I figured the drunken post might be not be one of your proudest moments but I know you do hold your companies in high regard and that's admirable, I'd be more worried if you didn't.
With this GLBSE thing, I hope that I'm still a shareholder in a few days.
I'm starting to think we should treat the site as though it is in a sort of beta.
GLBSE has had wording on the main page that it is in beta as long as I have been using it.
GLBSE might end up like GMail, there's probably going to be a very long beta and/or "beta" period. To keep from going too far off-topic, the best thread I've seen so far is at
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/re-glbse-situation-summary-officially-closed-115467. Large upgrade/change, botched update, or FSA (British version of the SEC) looking into it and there are conversations with lawyers happening.
To rephrase my earlier question and avoid Guruvan's post. When do you believe that CPA or yourself will be able to maintain a consistent bidwall at 0.99 for NYAN.A again? As CPA is an insurance company and not an investment company the value of the markets should be of little consequence. Also, do you believe the interconnectedness of your companies is affecting their abilities to function?
Right now people are just selling because they want out of GLBSE. We only hold GLBSE assets. If the entire GLBSE tanks, please don't expect me to sell my car and my computer because someone on the GLBSE invested in something that they did not understand. I am sorry people lost money but I was very very clear and open about what I was doing.
Without access to the assets and bitcoins on GLBSE there is really nothing I can do -- I don't even have a list of shareholders so even if I had mining hardware there would be no place to send it.
The current plan is for GLBSE to come back up at some point, what happens is up in the air still since no official news has been published. We all just have to wait and see. And while GLBSE is down there's nothing to be done about any of it anyway, that's not the worry.
What I'm wondering is (provided GLBSE is functioning as expected of an exchange) when can CPA provide the appropriate bidwall for NYAN.A? Or is CPA not currently able to provide for a bidwall at this time?
