arij is an independent third party I found just for this as an added bonus. He has -otc ratings, you can look them up. I don't like being threatened with bans when I'm the only one who is being serious, that's all. I was banned once here for being dumb already, I learned a lesson. Ban me again, shame on me.

If smoothie had any power to get someone banned, and if scammers got banned, it might have been a credible threat. As it is, it's silly to get your panties in a twist over it.

Yeah, seriously: Don't worry about it.

In order to allow enough evidence for a possible scammer tag, be sure to either publicly post the bitcoin addresses involved and other proofs of payment, or message this info to a trusted scam investigator. Normally, the escrow agent you chose would also qualify, however, I don't know anything about arij...

Neither do I, but as I said, the BTC are in the address that arij posted, with the transaction that jcpham posted, so the chance of jpcham being labeled a scammer approaches 0. All that remains to be seen is if Smoothie ponies up the cash, and arij pulls off the escrow.

I'm not clear - does smoothie have the option to buy at $11 at the end of October, or the obligation to do so? i.e. can he elect to just pay the 25% and not take the coins without breaking terms of the contract?

Nope. I gotta buy 50 btc at $11 each.

And likewise, jcpham has to sell them. Either party breaks it, I'm going to see if Maged thinks that's grounds for a scammer tag.

Sounds about right. Scammer tags are applied to people who break a contract and don't attempt to resolve the issue in good faith. As always, we don't ban scammers.

Wouldn't be my first ban.

The BTC are in the address. What would you be banned for?

So why would you do that? Why not just buy them for $9 each right now and save yourself $100?

I think the point of buying futures is that you're buying an option to trade at a certain price in the future, but are not obliged to do so.

No I think permabanned works better if that scenario ever happens.

Yeah, because bans from this forum seem to really stick. Roll Eyes

You have a point. I've already made my intentions clear. This entire deal for me is for entertainment value...whether I win or lose...i dont really care. But I do expect the other party to hold up their end in both cases.

STOP WITH THE IRC LOGS. YOU DWEEBS ARE SATURATING THE SPECULATOR SECTION. Cheesy

I concur. Pasting real-time chat logs on hypertext-semi-permanent-type threads feels sneaky to me, tbh I do not like it. That's a personal opinion not based in anything factual. I think the context of these things is completely lost when you transgress media like this. Especially if we dweebs have some multi-month long troll joke going on that has nothing to do with current events.

Ponzi.

Witnessed.

LOL?
