Hi, rockso. Now, about that 10 BTC bounty you've yet to award. Did I win? Should could use the $1,470 USD (or whatever it is) about now. Need to buy some more rotten smelly naily
hmm. I nod my head.
hi matthew
this is fucking incredible
I dont know if you are aware of it, but Matthew N. Wright "lost" his scammer tag (thanks to theymos) and is now "taking" more money from newcomers here:

Oh wow thanks for the tip! I'm going to go give him some of my money right now.
After all, there's nothing preventing him from putting together a few business projects to help pay people back right?

Seafood is gross.. I will not eat any seafood..... Shit doesn't agree with me.. Probably a mental thing but I hate the stuff...
If you're eating shit then there is no wonder you're getting ill from it.
If someone told you shit was seafood when you were little, they lied to you. Give it another shot.
And don't do ass to mouth either.

I enjoy shrimp and would be mad if it was never sold to me.
I like it with cocktail sauce (basic horseradish & ketchup mix), although some people enjoy it with tartar sauce (another basic, green hot-dog relish and mayo mix).
Now I really want some shrimp!I like it with cocktail sauce (basic horseradish & ketchup mix), although some people enjoy it with tartar sauce (another basic, green hot-dog relish and mayo mix).
And everyone should make their own cocktail sauce. All you need is ketchup, horseradish, and lemon juice. You can add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce if you are so inclined. If it is too strong, add more ketchup. If it is too weak, add more lemon juice. If it is too mild, add more horseradish.

I'm on the fence though, as to if I enjoy it more breaded and deep fired or simply sauted or cooked in a brine and served chilled.
Steak and Shrimp is nice, for the garlic sauted style, but having breaded/deep fried shrimp and french fries is also good, depending on my mood.
One think that bothers me most at times though, is if the shrimp are not cleaned properly (the poop-track left in, down the back-side), but at the same time, if too deep a cut is made and the shrimp ends up being butter-flied instead and doesn't stay together, or the body anyway.
I think that global region also plays a large role in how shrimp is/are prepared, if/when they are in 'season' and local cuisine's influence on the style of preparation of them.
As with everything, your tastes may differ, or vary.

However, I wouldn't label you a scammer if you didn't sell me my shrimp. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If I never intended to sell you the shrimp but repeatedly promised that I would sell you the shrimp and wouldn't weasel out of it and you contracted out a buffet, hired chefs and servers, and then I ddn't show up with the shrimp and said "Ha ha, sucker! What a great prank!" -- I'm pretty sure you would. 
And yet no-one lost a single Bitcoin in this one.
Say I promise to buy 1,000 pounds of shrimp from you on a particular date at $10/pound. You turn down other deals on that same day. You take out a loan to buy the shrimp. You buy the shrimp. You rent a truck to deliver the shrimp to me. Then when you get there, I say "Sorry, I don't want the shrimp." But you gave up other jobs, took out a loan, bought 1,000 pounds of shrimp and rented a truck. How can I say "You didn't lose any funds"?Matthew's bet pushed up the price of Pirate debt. This caused some people to acquire Pirate debt at inflated prices to hedge against the risk that Matthew would win his bet. It caused people acquiring Pirate debt to pay more than they should have. And it caused some people not to sell Pirate debt when they should have, believing that Matthew knew something they didn't.
Effectively, it manipulated the secondary Pirate debt market at a time when a number of Pirate victims were trying to mitigate their losses. It may even have enriched Pirate directly, at the expense of his victims, by allowing him to sell off his own debt longer and at higher prices.
Very well said! +1
So, what lessons do we get so far?
1) Trust is like an illusion when bitcoins (money) is involved
2) Scam can come from even the most "reliable" and "trustworthy" people, or even close friends
3) Instead of curing the consequences of a scam, it's better to prevent it from happening (not implying anything for anyone in particular) Though I'm not sure how Matthew's scam could be avoided.... >.<

That's interesting. Would have been useful info before committing to a hedge more than I had already. Looks like a downwards spiral.
So if 1 dude fucks up at a Company you crap on the entire company.. That's not fair....
You should wait and see what happens, he may not be involved with bitcoin Magazine any longer.

Unfortunately Matt used his position at bitcoin magazine to shore up his alleged ability to pay. Many entered into the bet trusting his position with the magazine.
Indeed, he is no longer employed with the Magazine http://bitcoinmagazine.net/announcement/.
