OP should post an address for tips!
It put a smile on my face.

i don't see centralized as a problem by itself, if we had at least one trustable exchange in a bureaucracy-free country it would be enough. But we don't have any really trustable one. BTC has a trust problem that will not allow it to grow.
Where is this "bureaucracy-free country"? Perhaps more than a few members here would consider making a move... |

And dammit I miss Atlas!
He was a character. Don't assume his actor isn't still here. is your ron paul avatar stuck there since we can't add avatars right now, or are you still repping Ron Paul?  Mostly lazyness. In another year I'll change it to a Rand Paul 2016 avatar. I've met Rand, but not his father. Really nice guy, and taller than he looks on tv. I've also met Dennis Kucinich, who is also a fine fellow, but is much shorter than he appears on tv. In fact, I've shaken the hands of several current and former politicos. Not all of them struck me as fine people. Have you ever had the feeling, upon meeting someone for the first time, of this strange sensation that you would be wise to never be in the presence of this person without witnesses? I most certainly have, and most of the time this was when I was meeting either a politican for the first time, or a violent convict. One such person is the current US representative in my own district. He gave me the creeps. Ron Paul is a fantastic human being and a statesman in the most honourable sense of the word. The sad thing is, is that he is (was) just doing his job. He was performing as everyone who holds similar office SHOULD perform. The reason that he is lauded is because he was virtually the only one in Congress to have done his job properly. The whole world should be full of "Ron Pauls", but alas it is not. At least, those voices are not the loudest. I've had the pleasure of talking to him and shaking his hand, and have met his son as well (before he became a political figure). Several years ago, I advised Rand to run for Senate, and I'm certainly glad that he took my advice.  I'll go ahead and take credit for his (future) Presidency too, while I'm at it, just in case! Like his father says "be careful; you just might win!".... EDIT: and regarding Atlas - I would like to think that I would immediately recognize such a figure, if he were still here, but I wouldn't mind being wrong, just to have him around! He certainly made his mark here.  |

I remember when this thread was first started.
I knew it was true, but I thought we had more time.
And dammit I miss Atlas!

1 BTC sent your way you Bitcoin legend Wow thanks, I do still have access to it. You should never delete a wallet, even if you've spent what was 'in' it. I appreciate the donations, but nobody owes me anything.. I generated my share and I spent it, it was just at a time when the value was lower, but so was the generation difficulty, and the block reward was 50. Laszlo Are you hungry? I'm running a special on pizzas. I will sell you two pizzas at 1/10th the price of whatever price you paid for your last pizza order purchased with bitcoin. shoot me a PM if you are interested! anyway, once again congrats for being a Bitcoin folk hero, and I hope and trust that you are still sitting on at least a few coins...  |

When will people get it through their heads that Paypal is not a Bitcoin competitor...
Paypal is a middleman.
If they find a way to act as a middleman in the world of Bitcoin, they will surely jump on that opportunity.
This. I could easily see PayPal start doing a BitPay-type service so that they don't miss the "Bitcoin boat". |

Now Bitcoin detractors will really think bitcoiners are bringing on the "Mark of the Beast"!

I love Bitcoin regulation. And human kind is at a point in history, where Bitcoin regulation is needed to solve our biggest problems.
Bitcoin is the most beautifully regulated piece of technology ever invented.
The ellegance of it's minimalistic yet powerful regulation is coded into a protocol more durable than anything ever written in stone and that one unbreakable rule underlying it's concept is freedom. Freedom of transaction. Everybody transact with everybody who they choose to do so with.
Bitcoin is regulated in such a way that no armed forces of any king whatsoever can threaten my little miner pointing their guns at it so that it would break that rule nor can anyone bribe it with however much money they put up.
Bitcoin regulation is the one and only thing we needed in order to solve the two biggest problems of our time and finally regulate banks and governments.
Gotta love that and embrace Bitcoin regulation!

You should be a government bureaucrat. Match made in heaven  You are misunderstanding his post and his intention, methinks. |

It's not directed at Coinbase.
The 0.00000001 transactions are being sent to every address on the blockchain.
I don't think any of them will confirm.

OP is a troll
I am surprised there was no mention of cocaine in his post, as the majority of the other posts of his that I've seen have referenced buying cocaine or crack cocaine with bitcoins.
Not that I'm judging. suum cuique

This is good to hear!
VLC is great.

That's great!
Good for Overstock!

Image looks photoshopped. There are several "Received 0.00000001 BTC" missing...
Hahaha nice! |

Another interesting data point. When I look at the transaction ID for the "pickpocketed" transaction, I see: https://blockchain.info/tx/e00709e118af2b1d6737ccaf10c8423d6a49b24b72472f2754d35efca7b0ab23The page states: "Warning! this transaction is a double spend of 112743537. You should be extremely careful when trusting any transactions to/from this sender." The imported address I used to send the BTC was deterministically generated on brainwallet.org using a not-so-strong passphrase (after all, this is just a test). Is it possible that someone else in the vast Bitcoin universe used the exact same not-so-strong passphrase and just got an unexpected donation of 0.01 BTC? I'm more concerned about the mystery than the $$$. If I learn something today, the lesson will be worth the $6 USD. Thanks (again). - Dave If you deterministically generated a bitcoin address from a "not-so-strong passphrase", it is likely that your 0.01 was immediately swept to the other address. You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to stay ahead of bitcoin thieves. |

Very interesting!
I have enjoyed your posts for years, and this thread is the sort of reason why.

I tried to install this on Ubuntu using: $ wget http://sx.dyne.org/install-sx.sh
$ sudo bash ./install-sx.sh and it said that I needed some things, so I told it to get and install the packages, and all was going well until it told me how much space was required and asked if I'd like to continue.... when I pressed "Y", it merely returned "Abort." I tried to use sx after the (failed) installation, but it told me that sx was not installed, and suggested that I install something (which I am quite certain is not the sx/libbitcoin stuff). Thus, I cannot use sx. Any ideas? |

I'm curious to see if these transactions will confirm. I've never seen so many outputs in a single transaction before (700+).
One must have used a program of some sorts to send that many at once? sendmany is a command |

I don't think that transaction will confirm. |
