Boy, you get up to speed fast. Remind me not to jacko pee in your Cheerios. Thank you for your comments, ctoon6.

sometimes i post faster than i should. although i do try to get to the source as fast as possible with a great understanding of both sides of the story. i have yet to see any other side posted. also the when searching for uabb, it links to some myspace bs. another reason not to trust it, they didnt even bother to raise the search rank, or its just very new, and again would have no trust or credibility built up.

The UABB is about a week old and hasn't even opened its door yet. That's the ironic part of all this. What started out as a conversation between a random user and Maged, turned into a promising idea for a new site that could help reduce fraud and handle consumer complaints. During its development stages (now), I have been enlisted help, but obviously not enough. There are more people willing to bash it than contribute to its success. It's kind of silly to be calling something a scam before it's even operational though, if you ask me.

All I can say is that the BBB is a dirty racket though it didn't start out that way; I don't see why it would pan out any different for Bitcoin.

When I first Google search for anything new in regards to Bitcoin, I add the keyword Bitcoin to what I'm searching for. When I first did this with "UABB Bitcoin" (without the quotation marks), like magic it was the very first link.

I believe I have the poll set where you can change your vote. If not, I'll do it manually for you. To double check, you want it changed from a no to a yes? Thank you kindly, RandyFolds, for your comment.

I was a '?' to give UABB the benefit of the doubt, but I would change her to 'Self-Important Fuckwit' upon recent revelations.

all i ask for is proof that you or the UABB can be trusted. you provide none, and the other "businesses" in this sector have proven they also can not be trusted, why are you different. why would i want to brand my name with yours. if it did turn out that the UABB could not be trusted, i would forever tarnish my name, why would i risk that.

Hey, everyone! Look what I found (or not found) over at UABCI: http://uabci.org/ This website is currently down for relocation. Where is it being relocated to? Who's doing the relocation? Who's helping with the relocation? Is this a red herring, to throw off the wolves, and there's really no relocation? And, if this is truly a relocation, how is it...wait for it...being financed? Stolen bitcoins?

Matthew, You Have Some (more) Splainin' to Do!

This is the exact reason why we should not be allowed to change our member names.

Considering I publicly announced the changed on my own threads, it was obviously done for added transparency. Also, changing your name doesn't remove your previous posts so what's the problem?

Is it still 1AM in Korea? If not, how many more of these type of posts do I have to amend for you?

I disagree - by him changing his name, you can still search his post history and by seeing posts quoted as BitMole and responded to by his new username, you know for certain that he is the same guy (or at least the same account).

The only alternative is him starting a new account, and then I'd wager that without some really really observant forum admins, no one would have had any idea who he was.

The alternative is way worse than people changing their forum usernames.

WOW! Thank you, I never read that before. He is a douche! Nothing but apologies and excuses as to why couldnt pay someone 1 measly little bitcoin for artwork. This just reaffirms my original gut feeling that he is a walking, talking pile of pig droppings.

what is UABB?

edit:
http://uabb.org/
The UABB is dedicated to building a more trustworthy Bitcoin marketplace through maintaining standards for truthful advertising, investigating and exposing fraud against consumers and businesses and providing information to consumers before they purchase products and services with Bitcoin.

my response, don't read it if you dont care for my opinion, as it may be rather crude.

the uabb has no trust, and anyone who thinks they can trust any central authority with YOUR money needs their head examined. everyone is quick to set up centralization for bitcoin, but NOBODY has given a single thought to making secure devices (they simply export signed transactions) for bitcoin. i ask WHY the fuck should we trust these guys. where the hell do they get their authority to set this up.

in short i advise everyone to store their coins on their flash drives (please use at least 3 drives if you have a lot of coins). please also store at least 1 in a safe deposit box at your local bank. ENCRYPT the usb key at the bank because they can still be drilled. http://www.truecrypt.org/ is a good thing to use for this purpose.

I like the concept of certification businesses, and I think if someone's looking for assurances outside of some governmental monopoly system, that's a good option.  

Xephan made some very cogent points.  I'd like to add that I would definitely envision certified and non-certified products side by side.  In some cases, I'd be willing to spend the little bit extra, particularly for something risky, like for instance pills or other ingestibles.  If a certification business is to succeed, however, it must provide consistent assurances.  This means the metric used to measure a given company's performance is critical.  This is were many governmental certification schemes have failed.  Case in point American health departments.

So far, I'm leaning towards dislike of UABB.  I read a post from Matthew to the effect of "don't worry about the mybitcoin thing, we're looking into it."  That's both insulting and foolish in my view.  You want your customers to use their judgement, and decide that your conclusions are congruous with their own.  

Thank you kindly for your valuable input, AllYourBase. Noted!

don't know him, but his posts are very similar to a confidence trickster.

some things that have bothered me:
trying to launch a brand, anyone with a business brain knows you don't launch incomplete products and services.
trying to do too many "large" scale projects at once, no one can successfully launch multiple different businesses at the same time.
everything seems to have an alternate motive.
no idea how big business is done.. (ie. purchasing 100+ gpus.. you go to the source and make the manufacturers tender for your business).
to eager to list accomplishments.
has no idea how the legal system works, case in point would be mybitcoin investigation.
wants to be the official bitcoin spokesperson and representative.

If he has the resources, why does he do all the work ? and why are the websites incomplete?

Oh and lastly.. why doesn't he just spend us$10 million.. im sure he has way more.. buy out mtgox.com, tradehill.com and purchase the rights for bitcoin.org ... Or better yet, buy the trademark and IP of bitcoin, and sue everyone.

if you refer to when he was using the account bitmole, he had less than 1btc in his wallet. no idea where he managed to get the 10 million to solicit buying agents etc.
