Title: Hi, new to the forum (kinda)
Post by: dougmanct on October 14, 2013, 10:40:48 PM
Hello

I am new to actively posting on this forum although I have lurked for quite awhile.

My interest in bitcoin originated from the poker community, but I have been fascinated with the technology the more I have studied it.

I work in software design and development by trade. Many may know me as the security researcher who discovered the "God Mode" cheating functions in the old Ultimate Bet client software that, combined with other scandals, blew that company to a million pieces and inspired a cheezy movie now in theatres :)

Thanks for having me. Cheers!

Doug

No. The only blow to the company caused US DoJ

Welcome to the forums! Watch out for the scammers though because they have become real sneaky!

His tag says Jr.Member  :P

But I agree, finding God Mode revealing opponents hole cards in UB software deserve hero tag
