mircea_popescu: mgio_ there is recourse re the miner stuff. just, you didn't bother reading about it.
pankkake: I need to be banned
mircea_popescu: the way scammers work these days, they steal a little from a lot of muppets then give them a little of it back in exchange for forum shilling
mircea_popescu: "And the more you scam, the more fanboys you get - it's not that there is no incentive to be honest, it's that there is an incentive to be dishonest." methinks pankkake has it.
danielpbarron: yeah i bought some credits; that's a really cool system
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron don't forget the part where they fight EVIL FUDSTERS and my socks.
