101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Do you think that the verb 'goxed' will enter the general vernacular now? on: June 25, 2011, 04:14:27 AM
Sounds like the genesis of a word to me.

And should it mean deceived, or screwed up?
102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You do Realize you are Never Seeing your Money again, Right? on: June 25, 2011, 03:32:17 AM
You do realize you are a fear monger, right?

I'm sorry. I realize that some people here have alot of money at stake, but I think those who do need to start bracing themselves for what all signs seem to be pointing to. They continually set deadlines and then break them - to do this after having been caught with their pants down (lacking proper security measures) isn't the behavior of competent folks. They are scrambling and in WAY over their head and it won't end good. They've admitted to account discrepancies and not having a clue why this is the case. How do you rectify such a thing?

So why not just say we will be down for a 10 days in the first place?  Then they can have time to figure out things correctly.

[Update June 24 - 02:56 GMT] Pushing until 15:00 GMT.
We have found that balances on some older accounts look significantly incorrect when compared with the old database. At this time we do not know what caused the balances to be off, or how many of the older accounts are affected. We haven't touched the old backend or database, so we're going to import the accounts again once we have found what caused the off-balances.

No money is lost, we still have the records of all transactions that happened prior to the bitcoin sell-off. All funds deposited are still in our bank accounts, and we're going to try and get this resolved by 15:00 GMT.

We look forward to getting everyone trading within an hour of getting users logged in and accessing their accounts.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.
Ok, Mr. Orilley.

Look guys, mtgox had a major security breach. They aren't exactly a gigantic company that can just reallocate some people to help solve the problem.

If you ask me, I'd rather have mtgox take their time, correct everything 100% and then launch it rather than have mtgox rush to get it back online only to find out that there is still some major discrepancies that they missed.
Most people would agree.  What they are pissed about is not keeping to a schedule.  If they think it will take 2 days, schedule it 4 days to give some wiggle room.  That way, everyone doesn't have to ruin their schedule just to be stood up.

That's why BTCguild has a payout lock.  I'm pretty sure you had a similar password on Mt. Gox as your BTCguild account.
Nope, randomly generated passwords.  No similarities at all.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining not worth it? Maybe not but... on: June 25, 2011, 03:07:45 AM
Or you could put that money into buying bitcoins directly and have even higher returns on average.
107  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Wallet address changed in Slush's pool. on: June 25, 2011, 02:26:29 AM
mine got changed twice a few days apart, i dont mine anymore so i only lost 0.2 btc that i didnt even know i had
my btc guild wallet was also changed
There must be someone on the inside, or the pooling software has some kind of security hole in it.  I know it isn't because of the Gox debacle, because I didn't use the same password or username.

Damn Hackers  Angry
108  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Why oh why does blocks/hr rate rise at the end if a difficulty period? on: June 25, 2011, 02:24:52 AM
All of this goes away when the LargeCoin group makes their ASIC.  They will then control the system because one well-designed ASIC could do 10TH/S.  If they have 1000 of these, so much for any GPUs
109  Bitcoin / Mining / Wallet address changed in Slush's pool. on: June 25, 2011, 02:18:03 AM
On Slush's website, the latest news is a warning to change your password if your wallet address has changed.  When I logged in, the wallet address was set to Slush's site.

I changed it back to my wallet, and nothing has been lost.

So how could the password have been compromised?  It was like 14 chars of random uppercase,lowercase, numbers.  And not used anywhere else.

Anyone else with the same story?
110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where was Bitcoin in 2010? on: June 25, 2011, 01:47:50 AM
Around April of 2010.  I was looking into anonymous banking on Wikipedia, and this was in the list.

I was going to put in $1000 just for lolz, but never got around to it.  I had the money, and was thinking "This probably won't take off, but if it does, if you don't invest you will be kicking yourself in the arse".  And just as predicted....
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Extended Difficulty Forecast on: June 24, 2011, 05:35:12 PM
For the last year, difficulty has grown at almost exactly 4%/day on average.  This corresponds with the growth in computing horsepower joined to the network.

see

Why isn't there a "who cares" option?
As you wish.
114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Poll: Should Mt. Gox increase the time between opening and trading? on: June 23, 2011, 03:57:10 PM
I thought they said it would 24 hours between opening their site back up and allowing trades?  Now it is one hour.

IMHO, they need to allow more time so that people that didn't get their accounts activated through some glitch in their system can resolve that before market opening.  As of right now, no one that went through the claims process has any indication that the process was successful.  They won't know until 3:00 GMT on Friday with the email sent out.  So if they don't get the activation email, that gives them one hour to get it fixed before market opening.  Given Mt. Gox's response time, it essentially means it ain't gonna happen.

Some speculators believe that the price will drop quite a bit for a while, and if their accounts aren't available during that time, they could miss on a buying opportunity.

So that is my opinion, what is yours?

BTW, according to Mt. Gox, you can still withdraw funds before the market opens.  So the extra time won't effect your withdrawls.

Doug is fairly positive about bitcoins.  He is right that the value is swinging around too much to be useful for transactions.  That should settle down in the future though.
117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I still h ave faith in bitcoin's value on: June 23, 2011, 02:46:58 AM

Bitcoins are like a religon,
They always have there little bumps.
You're cute Desu, but what is that plastic thingy you are wearing?
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 500 Ghash/s cracked bitcoin miner responsible for huge increase of Thash/s ? on: June 22, 2011, 02:53:37 PM
I installed it, why isn't it working?

You are fucked. Better to read, wait, learn, then stand up and walk, BEFORE stepping into a pile of shit. Hope you can survive it. When you get back online and your computer fixed, let us know what you went though.

He is obviously yanking your chain.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So is Mt. Gox getting DDos'd? on: June 21, 2011, 09:50:28 PM
Yes and we are the ones DDOSing it Tongue. Also it wouldn't surprise me if they are running the claim server on the first generation xBox  Roll Eyes.
I don't think insufficent hardware explains the server slowness.  There are only 60,000 accounts.  A P2 should be able to handle that.  They are almost certainly getting DDosed.

The hacker is retaliating for getting his heist shut down before withdrawing it maybe.
120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / So is Mt. Gox getting DDos'd? on: June 21, 2011, 09:30:49 PM
Their site hasn't responded for a couple of hours now.  There is no way that even 60,000 clients logging in at once could take down a web site for hours on end.  I bet the hackers are DDosing Mt. Gox.

So if they keep doing that, how will we ever get back in?
