I pull down my pants and spread my buns, gripping tightly like the bars on a roller coaster car to let off a long wispy crack that whistles through the air as would steam from a teapot. I huff and heave quickly, then my face starts turning beet red as sweat manifests and trickles down the sides of my head from my teeth clenching even tighter.
I grunt then commit to a push, feeling my ring slowly pop. I feel every iota of mass inside me start to rattle and writhe wetly as it smoothly moves with the unbroken grace of a pulled chain or conveyor belt, tiny secondary puffs of rancid air also escaping as my tightly puckering starfish begins to be brayed upon from the inside. It is impossible to stop it now as its very suddenly peeks out shyly, as would a moray eel in a coral reef.
Persisting my arduous efforts and ignoring the blood vessels threatening to rupture in my brain, I begin birthing the chocolate anaconda, feeling its slimy though somewhat hardened head start to slip out. The very air surrounding it, as it anything else it ever touches, is irreparably tainted from it slithering out of the only possible thing that could have safely contained it, the visible steamy lines almost visibly wafting off it as would smoke from a smoldering log.
I grunt then push, then push, and push evermore, feeling it further be pushed out and vacant, now plopping onto the ground. Its fangs of corn are finally revealed, glittering with the same noxious paradox as would fools gold to desperate prospectors. It begins being buried in self-lubricating coils upon itself, as if there is no end to its vile length.
As more of it is yet revealed no different from the rest, hordes of flies immediately home in and begin attacking it, trying to burrow and infest it to spawn their very own pestilent brood. Yet, it is so foul and polluted that the flies themselves crumple and fall dead out of the air from the sheer befoulment brought forth, as the few that survive and land on it instantaneously shrivel and die, even falling and being assimilated into the putrid mass like a rock sinking in quicksand.
It goes on, and on, and on, and yet more of it still coming into the world to mock and invade as if this domain was made for it to defile, but finally my efforts yield the most golden fruit of all. I reflexively continue pushing, up until the very tip of its coarse tail escapes, feeling completely hollow like nothing else before, and nothing else besides one base thing for the evil I have wrought:
I have a mined a bitcoin.

Mining Scam Ecohashes?! (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 3 hours ago by Cryptolover34

I've come across a new crypto mining site called ecohashes. Not too much info, but the hash pricing is too good to be true, so it probably is?

The CEO is Harry Evan's, when selecting his image the alt text is "elder" someone was probably searching for an old guys pic online and uploaded it as the CEO.

Only found out about it by watching Chico Crypto video the other day on YouTube. I'm pretty surprised he would endorse it, since he usually does a lot of intense researching before he covers a topic.

Anyone come across this site?

this obvious scam site could be a scam site guys, do you think it's a scam site? because i don't know, what if it's real and i could make lots of money!!!

I think they've removed the 'elder', because this is the entirety of the information about the 'team' they have now.



E: and the original image


They've photoshopped an East Asian guy in, cropped the black guy, and made the whiteboard into a projector screen (?).

lol, of course the existence of a bitcoin company to point to when someone says no one uses bitcoin matters more than the actual company itself

how did they even work anyway? some idiots want bitcoin 33% more than they want filthy F.I.A.T.?

Purse.io Is Shutting Down

The company was one of the longest standing bitcoin-focused businesses on the market, having started at a time when one Bitcoin was worth $400.

by Nikolay Nikov - 22h ago

One of the longest standing and most popular early bitcoin projects is officially terminating its operations.

Purse.io is shutting down effectively today after six years of spreading cryptocurrency adoption. New signups are no longer accepted, order matching will be disabled on April 23, while support for accepted orders and cryptocurrency withdrawals will be available until June 26.

The sudden news took many early bitcoin adopters by surprise. Purse has always been looked at as a prime contributor to bitcoin adoption, thanks to its defining feature – the ability to shop on Amazon with 33% discounts.

Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash users will no longer have this opportunity, and perhaps even more importantly – what’s lost is the ability to advertise this remarkable feature to people who are yet to adopt cryptocurrency.

In fact, Purse.io seed investor Roger Ver has been promoting the platform as an example of the utility of Bitcoin Cash as late as March this year – suggesting that the news about the inability of the company to sustain itself might have even caught its investors by surprise.

Purse’s business model relied on small fees being deducted from each successful purchase on the platform. Given the fact that the company was based in the San Francisco Bay Area and employed 17 people it required at least several hundred thousand purchases per year – a figure far from what the the cryptocurrency ecosystem was able to provide.

One could easily calculate that the $1.3 million in seed investments would get quickly drained given the circumstances.

Yet despite its financial ineffectiveness, the company considered invaluable for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash for its ability to introduce new people to cryptocurrency. A company similar in concept could receive funding and claim Purse’s place, given some expense optimisations are planned from the start. For the sake of cryptocurrency, we hope that this does become reality.

Amazon is shady as gently caress. Arbitrary as gently caress. If you build your business around them being predictable and honest, you're going to have a bad time.

Edit: As an example, I bought 500 Euros worth of gift codes off some guy. 10 e-codes at 50 Euros each, all from the same person with the same email and same account (I know this for an absolute fact, as does Amazon, because when you click on "send thank you email" after entering each code, they are all directed at the same person, the seller). I then tried to buy an item and my account was quickly locked then closed with an explanatory email "it's against our terms to receive gift cards from a third party" - which is legit the most retarded thing I've ever heard. WHAT'S THE POINT of a GIFT CARD you CAN'T GIFT!!? Anyway, long story short, after much back and forth I got my account reinstated, but of the 500 Euros, only 150 was left, the rest had been straight up cancelled with no explanation given by Amazon. So, had the codes been obtained by fraud, then they should ALL be cancelled. If not, then they should ALL be there. Absolute scam.
