Hmm yes, you have lowered yourself to calling people fat on the internet. Or maybe you were down there all along?

This is the BitShares champion? This is your co-founder?

A real winner, for sure.

Actually, I just doubted your exercise regime based on observation, and the fact that you work behind a monitor all day.  I work behind one too, that is why I have to take a break every couple of hours to go do a fast workout.  Because sitting too much will kill ya.

However, you are the person that started the name calling with the snake oil comment, etc.

So it's ok for YOU to call names but you get offended by someone you feel is doing the same?

I threw it back at ya and you stomp like a child?

Go have a tantrum then, if you feel offended then you really need to think about evolving as a person a bit more, try practicing some emotional intelligence. 

You see, starting a conversation with name calling isn't very nice.  And OMG, if someone calls you a name after you started the exchange in that manner...that is so unfar?

No matter your answer, it's ok - we all see you for what you are.

"He is the single most important business developer in the world to the near term future of BitShares."

If this is true, I would run from Bitshares as fast as possible.

Ian, I sincerely doubt you have ever ran a day in your life...from the looks of it.

Unless it was chasing the ice cream truck...

Stop arguing, you look stupid.

That is a really strange insult, I'm not even fat. I'm 6"3 and 184 pounds. I have a bit of a beer belly, granted, but I rarely eat ice cream, and can run pretty far. Gotta catch those pokemons, you know?

In any case. I see where the Bitshares community stands.

You guys can have your Taggarts and Lyfords.

It was merely an observation, not an insult. 

I am sure there is a man or lady out there that would love you for you Ian.

You sound like you are a bitter jealous person to spend so much time confirming that everything I said is truth. 

I appreciate you at least posting this so it is plainly clear my role. 

Thanks, stay safe out there.

So you admit that this is not about caring, yet tell people to "stay safe out there"?  You just admitted that statement was not genuine and you have no intention to "help people stay safe",

I don't appreciate you using this board as a private FUD tool, you honestly should be embarrassed by your mistake.

Hi Ian - long time no hear.  Last time we spoke you assured me you checked me out and that you would leave me out of your witchhunt with Mark.

I guess that was another one of your lies.

So , you are deciding to perform this touching public service announcement for what reason?  Oh, probably because you care so much about the members here and the BTS community.

We both know THAT isn't true.  So I wonder why you are here?

I don't plan on addressing you on much else other than the original thread, because I won't be baited with your BS.  I also see Stan confirmed I am a co-founder of CNX.  I also have Genesis blocks of BTS - so yes I am a co-founder by definition there (even though I have NEVER ONE TIME EVER CLAIMED TO FOUND BTS - EVER)

I WILL however, seek any and all legal remedy for any misstatement, lie, or slander that I can prove you commit.  That is not a threat to journalism.  That is a a promise to swiftly deal with someone who
is a hack - and uses the auspices of journalism to try to shield himself.  I believe in right to speech, I do not believe in what YOU do.  There is a difference.

Let's get a few things straight.

1. I was never a part of BANX.  EVER.  I consulted with Mark at times on cases of marketing.  I didn't have anything to do with the decisions he ultimately made there.

2. Lottoshares did indeed and very unfortunately FAIL. I am sad about that, I really believed it could change the gambling and lottery industry for the better, and many others saw that vision too.

It failed because we couldn't advertise on any ad networks other than adult..and even then they didn't approve of gambling or anything crypto (go figure).

We couldn't get any stories done about us in any media as they are gambling and crypto shy - the two added together was toxic for PR

We couldn't even use my own press release company to do PR, since our distributor agreements would not allow since it was even remotely close to gambling.

My youngest brother had a heart attack in Early November right when I was in full PR mode and coming off of a huge win with REMITTIO WINNING AN AWARD AT WEB SUMMIT (the tech is based on BTS technology and got bitshares and CNX a lot of exposure to investors at web summit), was in hospital for 2 months and subsequently died, leaving me in a huge place of sorrow. 

I had to take 2 months off work to attend to his affairs, bury him, help his daughter overcome it, figure out my mental wherewithall, support my dad who is in terrible health as well.

During this time the political climate changed in SXM, and there was attempts at a lawsuit to try and take the license from our partners control.  This attempt was from owners of another lottery on the island that did not want to see their monopoly destroyed.

ALL FUNDS THAT WERE DONATED WERE IN FACT RETURNED TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS.  ALL FUNDS. 

The contributors were disappointed it didn't work out.  But they got their money back. 

Sounds like I have some integrity doesn't it?

3.  I have never, in fact, sold snake oil.

I have owned snakes for years, I would love to introduce you to my 16 footer "Monty".  I am sure he would love to hear all about snake oil and how it is made.  He would LOVE to have you over for dinner sometime.

4.  I have worked my ass off for the bitshares community.  I have spent 100k+ easily of my own money (I could have just invested in BTS and made some great gains - guess I am an idiot) to help advertise, build the platform, travel, meet investors, evangelist, rip people at bitcoin conventions for being so short sighted, hosted a billionaire at my villa to try and educate him about blockchain and how we can use it (he's a believer), and so much more. 

5.  I have founding stock in CNX, and am listed as a co-founder.

You clearly did ZERO research which would have yielded you a result in less than 2 minutes.  I not applaud your not journalism skills.

6.  Since I do have genesis blocks, and have been a business developer to BTS for years now - guess what PARTNER...I am a co-founder as per definition.

7.  I also see that the president of the company STAN LARIMER confirmed my extensive involvement.  Normally I would tell him not to worry about hacks like you, but you are a special case and need to be dealt with.  Hence the response.

In closing, I ask a simple question.

What have you contributed here?

FUD.  Nothing of value.  ZERO. NADA. NYET. 0. NIL.

Don't come here pretending to care.

Your motives are disingenuous, and we all see right through you.

Does Ian DeMartino own coin-journal dot net? If so, Mr. DeMartino's entire "article" is in reality a disguised informercial, written for profit at the expense of Mark Lyford.

His bio says "co-founder of coinjournal.net". Yes, I think either there was some outside interest involved or else Mr. D. grew up believing that journalists get noticed by writing odd hit pieces. If I were a source, I sure wouldn't go to him with a story.

In his comments to mark he makes it pretty known that he has no interest in producing a piece that exonerate Mark or has anything to do with writing objectively.

Also just by looking at the headline and knowing for a fact that they were going to remove it that day anyways and it's none of it was based on any sort of accusations just makes that seal the deal in terms of bias.

It's clear he has an agenda just based off of that and knowingly making the headlines something inflammatory and controversial, when he already knows those accusations had zero to do with it.

Thanks sir!  Many places won't do a story about it because it is "gambling related" - so getting PR is tricky

you're still welcome to publish a guest post on my blog

I see you are quite busy on twitter

Check it out: http://lottoshares.com

We are already seeing contributions, and the timer is now active as of today.

WATCH THE REPLAY:
See the replay and walkthrough here: http://linksfrom.us/lottoshares-replay

HOW IT WORKS:
"Shares" will be dropped into contributors wallets on Jan 1, 2016.

Monthly Buyback of LottoShares will begin on April 2016.

Please spread the word, and prove to the world that BITASSETS and BLOCKCHAIN are here to stay, and we aim to change the world one way or another.

Remember, that LottoShares are assets on the BitShares network, and can be traded in many different pairs once shares are unlocked for trade.

Here is how the LottoShares pricing works:
First 250,000 shares are priced at $.80
Remaining 250,000 shares will be priced at $1.20

Start Date: October 1, 2015
Shares dropped to participants on Jan 1, 2016
Shares unlocked for trade, sale, buyback on April 1, 2016
Buyback date (TENTATIVE) will likely be the 28th of every month starting on April 28th, 2016

Intent For Funds Raised:
We are raising $500,000 total for funds to expand lottery to Bahamas, and pay for dev work to create the first physical lottery with physical customers ran on the blockchain.

Once we raise $150,000, we are initiating the start of the plan, which is to hire 3x more staff and more locations on island.

Even if we do not reach $500k raised, as long as we hit $150k it is a go.

If we can only Raise 150k, it will take longer to expand and to dev the blockchain lottery, but we will commit to doing that either way - it will just take much longer to get it dev'd out.

There is only 1 other lottery on the island, and they bring in $30,000,000 per year in revenue.  Even just a small percentage of that becomes an epic win.

Let me know if you have any questions:
