Where did Nazis kill their own people? Nazis dreamed about bright future in self-sufficient Europe that is run by nationalistic and socialistic principles. Where profit is equally distributed to working people.

Silk Road is the Trollololol of highest level and it is still alive for 1.5 years! Does DEA and FBI have not the best possibilities and motivation to take it down?

Failure and failure again. If he trolled someone else he still be caught. If done properly he would remain anonymous.

It depends how knowledgeable and careful people are when trying to stay anonymous. KnightMB made few large mistakes

Next time consult with me when going to extort presidential candidate I may ask few bitcoins but at least you will not end picking up soap in prison shower!

And what you derps will do if someone announces Litecoin ASICs and start take preorders for them?

The Bitcoin ASIC is not here and will not be here for long time. Current ASIC preorders are fraud and classic confidence scam.

Probably I need to wait until everyone realizes that no ASIC is coming and then resurrect this thread.

OK I probably got the sense how miners now are thinking about future of mining.

The same people who created bubble in summer 2011 and predicted that 1BTC will cost more than 100$ at the end of 2011

The same people who invested in LGBT

The same people who used MyBitcoin

and The same people who paid to Pirate40

now they are preordering ASICs and believing in poisoned forum with paid signatures advertising ASIC.

You have no idea what was there before and why I changed that text, right?

I will not proceed until everything is done. Right now I'm researching how interested people are in this. Many people are going to sell the GPU mining rigs because of reward halving and ASIC chips. The reward halving is real but in my opinion the ASIC is scam and they will not be delivered. Just like with Pirate. So I think that GPU mining will be the best way to do it in year 2013.

Anyway if you pay more than half of profit for electricity the free electricity can be more profitable. This depends on how we split the profit from mining.

Development project fully paid by European Union.

I'm researching how interested people are in collocating their mining rigs where free electricity is available. I can get free electricity.

The rules about splitting mined coins and who pays replacement parts in case of hardware failure is not yet ready. I'm working right now to get subsidized free electricity. The bureaucracy and paperwork is unimaginable.

I'm new on the driving thing, please share, how much time is needed to get to first stop?

Silk Road probably have configured guard nodes and not selected on random. I don't know exactly how many nodes will take to compromise majority of circuits but it will require hundreds or even thousands of nodes. Ant the compromising of Tor by single entity holding majority of relays will help only against clearnet traffic going trough Tor. For hidden services timing attack is still best that can be done. I'm not expert on this maybe someone can explain more on this subject.

Try to guess why the Tor network have become much much faster then it was ever before?

And the SR is up and running as well as SR forums. And no major change in price.

Give me the private key for this public key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x89AAC87E&op=index and I will decrypt it for you!

People who need bitcoins and have eBay acc but no MtGoatse account.

Butterfly Labs is a SCAM! I suggest not preordering from them and wait until they ship the product.

I have read that article before. It does not tell what exactly pointed to him but probably the fact that he posted about this in various forums and he was suspected in other hacks is the reason.

SR got problems with heavy load in past. Don't worry it is too profitable for operators to be abandoned!

Wait until the ASICs are shipped or this question makes no sense. If they are shipped at all...

someone got background knowledge about ancient mythology and german language. Cool! Then he indeed might be Atlas if this is true!

And why you think that downloading torrent separately and placing it in Bitcoin data directory is easier for first-timers than simply running the Bitcoin client that synchronizes automatically?

There might be something to improve in Bitcoin such as requesting different blocks from multiple nodes for better download speed and reduced load on uploading nodes.

I'm not Atlas lol! Or the OP is Atlas?

I don't care but I prefer the password to remain unchanged. Legit Wikipedia accounts are rare sight in the logs that's why such high price. I will not take the acc back from buyer and as long as he keeps the original owner unaware it might last for long time. If something goes wrong in next 2 weeks I provide new account.
