Meh. Free transactions are only done for charity anyway.

How exactly are they going to exchange that large amount of funds into the network, to millions of accounts?

And through what method will they organize a large scale attack funding wise? Its going to take soo long time that.....well, lets see what happens

too lazy to type address manually

Meh. We could use a good stress test.

I can't believe someone expected this to work.

Seems legit.

One doesnt just make accounts in bitcoin.   :)

Haha. There's no way any Anon with any sort of influence on fellow Anons would come up with such an unimaginative name as "Operation Bitcoin."

Looking forward to it.

i loled
bring it on :)

We do not reward thieves and terrorists:
No one said a happy ending would be easy, this looks exciting.   :o

i am from anonymouse. i haz loic  ;D

I forget or never saw the exact details:
What is the Bitcoin protection against transaction spam attacks?

Funny innit...

... bitcoin is qualitatively different from other currencies, in that its core-constituency is (at the moment) geeks.

But not just geeks. Ideologically-driven geeks. A community of ideologically-driven geeks, who are (in large part) doing this as an experiment.

So instead of "oooh... that's really scary, we're being threatened", our relationship with Anonymous (or some lone nerd) isn't one of adversary, so much as an experimental partner.

You say you can bring the network down? That's really interesting. Please... give it a go so we can see how resilient our system is... so we can see if there's some way we can improve.

IMO, Anonymous should set up an "official" (how?) Bitcoin address for each operation. I would gladly donate to fund operations that I morally supported and was reasonably certain would go to the correct individuals.

There's very little chance that Anonymous is actually behind this. They ought to love Bitcoin on principle. Someone should post a link to this in Anon's den. I have a feeling they will be annoyed by this imposter and may even go after him.

Here it is on blockexplorer, if I typed it out correctly.

There ain't nothing on the ledger yet.

Also I doubt they would act like anonymous and 4chan are the same thing...

Supposedly the transaction fee. Although from my understanding, when the client was patched to handle 8 digits after the decimal, sending anything below 0.01 BTC would enforce a fee of 0.01 BTC.


4chan != Anonymous

There was a long time ago when they used to lurk /b/, but today's 4chan user base has very little to do with Anonymous.

Come on people, are you really that gullible? At core anon has some very intelligent individuals. There is no reason why they'd want to bring our network down. And most importantly, there's no lulz in this operation  ;D

http://anonnews.org/ (http://anonnews.org/) accepts bitcoin donations.

op I hope you're behind 7 proxies.   8)

Proxies don't help against anon. You'll only be spared if you're behind 7 boxxies  ;D

my pet zebra just lawled :X

Fake fake fake.

Trololololololololol.

Suppose this could give some miners a "transaction fee boost" though, so I'm all for it! Besides, this kind of testing has to happen now rather than later.


tl;dr: Come at us, bro!

BRO! Fist pump?

You know it!

4chan tard, 4chan and anonnews will be getting more than 2btc/day once more people wake up.

So the great hacker empire has demanded what amounts to about $20/day in extortion money?  Geez they're really passed their prime  ;)
 

2btc sent...
CMON GUYS I DONT THINK HES PLAYING

Anonymous/4chan wants to take down an anonymous currency  ::)

Some rich benefactor sent them money! (http://blockexplorer.com/address/1CXdem12MM6mYCCN5q6kXBjAaV3oNw9bbq)

A whole 0.00000001 BTC.

Don't spend it all in one place, fake anon dude.

But if you put it in a vagrant instance, you can quickly have a vm running bitcoin on every computer in a bonnet.  That, plus a little scripting could accomplish the stated account, and it would fill the transaction buffer very quickly.  The block size limit would be quickly increased. And the new release would be picked up by the majority of transaction processors within a day.  Then, the minimum fee would be released and free transactions eliminated from the default ruleset.

That logo is pretty shiny, I can has?

Agreed, what an irony ::)

i shit brix already!
i want to play with them!

Build a fort? I'd use gloves though.

That'll keep your house nice and warm. When your done, build me one too. 2BTC ok?

If they have the power to do that, they can make their own damn bitcoins. meh.

I don't understand why the anonymous don't sign their messages.  I'm not talking about a named signature, but about a few GnuPG signatures with no real name.

So at least we could make sure that each new message has been written by the same people who wrote the previous ones.

So, to clarify, you're angry that anonymous is far too anonymous?

I'm not "angry".   I just think this movement is silly, since anyone could pretend to be part of it.

Wouldn't pretending to be part of it make you part of it?

No.

I could write something like that:

«
WE ARE ANONYMOUS.  WE ARE LEGION.  WE DO NOT FORGET.  WE DO NOT FORGIVE.  EXPECT US.

OBAMA IS A COOL PRESIDENT.  WE ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM IN 2012, AND WE INVITE EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME.

WE ARE ANONYMOUS.  WE ARE LEGION.  WE DO NOT FORGET.  WE DO NOT FORGIVE.  EXPECT US.
»  


This is a silly example, but you get the idea.


It might sound paradoxical, but basically I think there is no contradiction in being anonymous and signing your messages.

So how do you get to be part of 'it' then, if not by copying 'their' methods?

One of my friends is convinced that there is a 'real' anonymous, and they hide behind masses of posers.  He is totally unable to understand my view that anonymous is a collection of random douchebags, including a couple with some real talents and skills.

End result is about the same though. 

This anon is obviously from ebaum's  ::)

The anonymous did nothing productive other than DDOSing hated sites. Who care about them?

Satoshi, on the other hand...invented bitcoin. Now, that's productive and constructive.

it seems like a pile of crap.  foisted off by an single, cowardly entity of limited intellect and close to zero knowledge.

There is a small array of individuals that represent the whole of Anonymous, that control and guide these public campaigns, that organize and provide the tools for attacks and take-downs. Usually some of the identities repeat between episodes. They hide behind a wall of "neo-homosexuals" that pretend to be Anonymous while blabbing bullshit on 4chan. I guess your friend is right. However, the members of Anonymous do respect the imperatives declared on official propaganda, even when arrested by the police or tried by governments. So yeah, end of result is the same. Also recent scandals had "some" Anonymous members discrediting and detaching themselves from the actions of other Anonymous members (an accusation referred to as "similar-homosexuality" in 4chan vernacular).

It is clear that this action is powered by a small percentage of those that have activated under the Anonymous umbrella.

bullshit.

this is one person - and one person only - stealing the name of Anonymous; who has nothing to do it and never has.

I have no idea why you think you disagree with me. You don't. :) Because I agree with you, thus it is logically impossible that you do not agree with me and I agree with you.

Anyway, better prepare your wallets, alone or not, that guy means business  ::)

To me anonymous is an attempt to create a secret public organisation,  some kind of a cyber-freemasonry.

It is also some kind of a phyle, and it is the first I've ever heard of, so it might have some historical interest in future.

But due to inconsistency in structure (for instance the lack of protection of the integrity of their messages with no digital signature whatsoever), it is an epic fail in my opinion.

The thing about Anonymous is that it's a lot like Bitcoin; it's decentralised. There are no leaders and there's no "initiation" to become a member, so to speak. Anyone can claim to be a member and anyone can declare war in Anonymous' name. The success of each of their little vendettas depends on how many other "Anons" want to help them.

There is no doubt in my mind that this threat has come from some 15 year old kid who just found out about Bitcoin and thinks he's going to be rich.

Aw, I was hoping this was real, but probably it's just someone trying to scam a few BTC out of the gullible easy-to-frighten demographic.

Yeah I guess you're right.  Maybe the message

"We are anonymous.  We are legion.  We do not forget.  We do not forgive.  Expect us."

could be translated into:

"People exist.  They are numerous.  They don't forget.  They don't forgive.  Fear them."

+1

How uncool.

The real anon would hack the irs and goldman sachs.

Now that is epic lulz.

pretty funny...bitcoin isn't the kind of thing that gets attacked by anonymous.

 :D

One doesn't just Bitcoin into mordor

Heh, funny...

By the way, I found out about bitcoin by reading anonnews and noticing the donate link that accepts bitcoin (and links to weusecoins).

I found out about bitcoin on 4chan over a month ago, and the feeling was generally positive.

This is just some bad troll who found out about bitcoin and is pretending to represent 4chan. Ignore it, like most channers are doing.

Is that a realistic threat? What will exactly happen if someone sends millions of unconfirmed transactions?
http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/
If this is possible to do, I am selling my bitcoins.

An anonymous extortion? Yeah, I'm not afraid of cowards making veiled threats.

Here is a specific and direct threat for comparison:
Touch my bitcoin and I will split  your head open with an axe.
See, much more clear. :-*

What moron sent 2 BTC?

And the network lasts another day. That was a close one!

...and some internet tough guy gets to buy another blot of acid off The Silk Road.

The 2 btc transfer could have just been a dumbass or sent to himself, as if seeing that other people had done it, then it would spure people onward to give 2 bitcoins.

Neo-homosexuals?   

I believe the slang term is "newfag". ;)

Can some moderator moderate this please.  Remove will be nice - these people are getting a platform right on top of the forum topics.

were how ? any one with some clean lighting ~

I don't understand how the Bitcoin network is protected against spamming transactions with BTC 0.01 or higher? A few people could just send the same BTC back and forth between each other and thus spam the transaction database making it bigger and bigger.

Do it.  You'll make miners happy.  :)

Lol, if I was setting up a troll like this, I would SO have several accounts of BTC from which to send 2 BTC to the troll account every day, just to make everyone madder.  :P

Would you marry a troll?

Never.

I know pronounce you..husband and rig.

4chan says they give you one more day to think

let's see what you got, faggot.  ;D

summerhomosexuals bored much?  ::)
