Anybody received any BTC from Mintpal yet?

kinda sorta, the guy that threatened, via twitter, to kill himself if he didn't get this 150btc was given back 50 btc by alex green/ryan kennedy -- if you want to count that.

So he has to threaten three times to get all his BTC back.

I send them a couple of dm's on twitter to but they don't care for a small amounts of .21 but whatever lesson learned.

I don't think it will help this Alex Green guy. He's unrepentant. Believe me, once this blows over I bet he'll be back with a new name and a new scam. It's just too easy to scam in crypto for a guy like him to resist.

True enough these types will come back for more
The issue is that he has officially pissed a ton of people off so he rather be vigilant because someone out there is hunting for him
And will find him eventually (less the police of course)

Still waiting patiently for mintpal to fix up the error... (assume its just a error)

there was no error, if you read between all of the fairly clear lines, Alex Green is a chronic con artist who essentially orchestrated the buy of Mintpal in order to raid it, as well as plunder the financial resources of his financial backers. Green (just one of his many aliases) did not appear to have a long term perspective, to a sincere desire to "manage" an exchange on a day to day basis, the income is too small and too slow, it is apparent that he rather go for the "oh, I'm sorry this didn't work out, let's go bankrupt and start over or I quit" route.

Mintpal was relatively new to the crypto market, it developed nicely, had it not been for the hack it probably would still be sailing along. However once in the hands of Moolah it suddenly suffered where it had no problems. Remember, it was supposed to be taken off line to improve and upgrade security however when it came back online it was worse, in every way. It was literally set-up to fail.

Mintpal and Moolah was like night and day, good and bad, the contrast was so sharp it caught everyone off guard.

Thanks for the explanation, do you think we would ever get back our BTC? another goxed Sad

gox never gave back any money, not even the fiat that was scheduled to be mailed out.

nevertheless, I seriously doubt if any btc finds its way back to any investors without physical harm placed on the offenders

chronic con artist need a different stimuli to do right, arrest, jail, fines, and prison is not enough. They need pain
and suffering.

Sometimes even this does not help.

The CC world is the only place that I can think of where no one has to lose. We create money from nothing, we give the blueprints to anyone free, yet people are stealing money left, right, and center (everywhere you turn).

We should have a million billionaires by now but instead equity has dried up 70%.

Mining costs money.

Mining costs are mining cost, they are not currency creation costs.

The research and development that went into the creation of the currency cost money however ALL of those costs are so negligible its not worth discussion, never the less it was the creator's cost NOT our cost, the scheme was given to us free.

Gold, silver, diamonds, oil, and any other natural commodity that could be used as a currency was created by God (at his cost) and given to us FREE, the mining we use to remove it from where it is to where we want it to be is not part of the creation process, its part of the extraction / transfer process.

Notwithstanding, depending on the type of mining you are doing it could actually have multiple uses. For example, your mining could actually solve PRACTICAL mathematical, or scientific problems this way the more you mine the closer we, as a society, get to solving REAL problems. See 'Gridcoin' and 'folding coin' for more details on that.

the problem is too many people (exchanges too) trying to take market share instead of increasing the size of the pie. and in so doing they chase investors away.

I wonder why Moolah got into the management of Mintpal if they were nearly bankrupt? Odd.

I'm definitely not sure of the specifics.

But I think that Mintpal's management was bought by moolah.io/alex green for around 700 bitcoins. I assume they went "Bankrupt" from lack of trading on the website after the hacking of vericoin in July, along with the recent crisis during Minptal's migration to "V2".

Or, they could be pulling a GOX on us, where they pretend to be bankrupt, while running away with the bitcoins scott free.

The thought makes me sick to my stomach.
