Even if he'd own this forum, I still wouldn't bother as it is well managed, unlike his other endeavor.. Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum?

You think every question has to do with money - what about integrity? I did trade in bitcoin for a while but the second I broke even after I lost on the china crash I got out and just have some in cold storage. Now I am still into bitcoin, but for it's future uses and potential, not to make a quick buck out of 'noobs'. Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum?

Thanks for answering, I asked because there is a lot of discussion about it today on live chats and obviously this was the best place to ask. Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum?

Does your pro-ness depend upon your activity? And if you have oh so high activity, how many btc do you have? 500k? or 50k? No? not that much. Then you sir are a NOOB Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum? Post by: Boris-The-Blade on March 17, 2014, 04:29:51 PM It's a Noob Eat Noob world fellas.
Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum? Post by: E.exchanger on March 17, 2014, 06:37:54 PM Maybe this will help you getting your answer. The forum was started in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, the original creator of Bitcoin. It is now managed by Malmi Martti (Sirius), Stefan Thomas (justmoon), and Michael Marquardt (theymos). :)

I wonder if the database version he had got into the wrong hands, if that would cause us all any problems? It was way before my time, but potentially the older members could still have been there. Although I have no idea about the format of the database. Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum? Post by: Lauda on March 18, 2014, 10:41:22 PM No, he does not.

Post by: Maged on March 20, 2014, 06:05:59 AM didn't forum/mtgox used to be hosted on the same server ? and if so.. anyone know how that arrangement came to be ? If I remember correctly, Sirius (the owner of the domain and an early admin of the forum) emailed some big names in Bitcoin asking if they would be willing to host the forum behind some DDoS protection service. When Mark Karpeles volunteered, his offer was the obvious choice. Theymos agreed. MtGox was the biggest target in Bitcoinland, and so they already used a DDoS protection service. That and they were highly trusted. It really was a different world back then. It truly was amateur hour, so we had to take what we could get. Compared to what we had then, we are totally spoiled with the services of today. Also, supposedly we weren't hosted on the same server, but we were at least on the same network as MtGox. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that we were really running in a VM on the same physical server as MtGox... (this is Mark Karpeles we're talking about, after all) We moved away from MtGox just over one year ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145516.0 Title: Re: Does Mark Karpeles own this forum?
