Are you sure they are not the same person? LOL Fred Twingham at least isn't immediately apparent as an anagram of anyone I know in the bitcoin community (Thomas Nasakioto ≅ Satoshi Nakamoto)  |

it's not a scam, it's a power grab and a very interesting one.
Currently there isn't any bot enabled exchanges that use ixcoin therefore no bots vampirizing it's value yet; the root problem of bitcoin exchanges and stupid wallstreet.

I'm pissed because up until now I'd never really lost on bitcoin. I've missed out on all the major opportunities due to buying and selling at the wrong time but somehow i'd always managed to just break even. Now with this I have actually lost money and i'm not happy about it. It's all my own fault yes and obviously I wanted something for nothing but I got nothing for something and I should have seen something like this coming a mile away but I got caught out and I want to rant about it.
what did you do freak out and sell low? |

So on the exchange you can only use a deposit address to send ixcoins once. What happens if you try to send two deposits with the same address?
you lose I looked at that twice too, gotta remember, "never do that". |

From what I can tell & have read, IXCoin is Bitcoinwith better faster rules to fruition. Most99.9% of Bitcoin'sIXCoin's code is IXCoin'sBitcoin's code and Mr Nasakioto didn't state it was removed. Therefore the killswitch should still be in it according to what OP stated. I would assume he would have the key to it, but I'm not acquainted with the working details of the killswitch.
Corrected for you 
-pimpslaps his typist and now goes on to give his editor a lashin!why u no fix that 1 space error! but yeh, your correction is 100X better grammar.  Thanks dude, Tasty Z Von Snickerlingdolingdolingdolo edit: shit I guess no one knows. |

My only real and valid concern that may have been addressed earlier, is whether or not ixcoin has the kill switch inside, and if so who holds the key to it?
Why would it need a killswitch? The OP mined for two months acquiring 500,000 coins, and modified the client so none of the first 6500 blocks could be replaced by branching the blockchain. If he was smart, he sold as many ITC as possible for BTC and has abandoned the entire project. From what I can tell & have read, IXCoin is Bitcoinwith better rules to fruition. Most of Bitcoin's code is IXCoin's code and Mr Nasakioto didn't state it was removed. Therefore the killswitch should still be in it according to what OP stated. I would assume he would have the key to it, but I'm not acquainted with the working details of the killswitch. |

I'm not a wheeler & dealer but sometimes I wish I could be.
I just bought my first hopped bismuth crystal, so technically I invested in bismuth.

if 'hack' means to modify, then changing its meaning is also a hack.
i agree hahahah I'm not sure how that happened forum stripped my message. but I put "or modded" after your quote. |

I have been sitting on this idea for a while about using dd-wrt to host a neighborhood forum,
maybe even for a little file sharting too.
Main thing is I want to know is how feasible it is to do this, how easy.
a very light forum as it wouldn't be connected to the internet either, it would only really exist as a place to converse with neighbors.
figure 100 users max with 2 9dbi antennas on a linux wrt54g.
I know I could solder a cf or sd port to it to host the files for the forum.
or if I got a better model maybe even host it from ram?
I'm thinking anymore than 100 users might be able to fry it.
I figure I could just switch ports in the admin panel so when someone connects to it, it brings up the forum instantly. then I could have the admin panel access behind WPA2 maybe, I'm just not sure how that would work.
any input or know of a way to do this?

not much into semanitcs but cheat codes would technically be cracking, but that is being 100% pedantic. xD
with hackers, it's pretty much set now, because no one ever hears of "good hackers" unless it has a bad connotation attached to it.
the term OP is looking for is enthusiasts I believe.
That is what most people wanted hacker to mean, but that didn't happen, the press makes the rules.

damnit, i got snaked. I got 1 accepted out of 300, and I didn't actually get it somehow.

yeh...gay,
use to mean happy, now it means to draw a bunch of rainbow dicks on yourself, put on a g-string and go dance around in the street like an idiot celebrating his balls out.
I really hate them for what they did to those beautiful rainbows.

I got something for you.
you make a tabular site for dynamic pages then you sell the pages.
so technically you sell only 1 page sites that fit all in one screen, that all have a similar interface run by different subscribers.
think of all the different things Star Trek could do with the LCARS interface as the example.
I would imagine the majority of work would indeed be behind the scenes technical stuff and working with people troubleshooting stuff when it arises.
then you could have a donation payment system, which you could receive a small percentage.
You could also require the pages to be dynamic, utilizing HTML5 standards, and since the full site itself would probably be rather small also mirror the site across several servers so it never goes down.
most people don't need a full blown hosting package, just a way to have their page seen.
you could call it social hosting!

You can't do a security audit of the type you ask for on with modern computers. They are simply too complex. If your attacker has enough resources, they may be able to embed secret code in you network adapter that phones home for instructions upon seeing a specific 128 bit number. A second number immediately following can encode the address of the server to contact. Black-box testing is useless in this case because the search space is too large. Some software, such as the L4 Microkernel has been formally proven to be correct (assuming the machine checker and compiler are correct). For usable software, you may want to investigate OpenBSD. While not formally proven correct, they regularly audit the code for known security vulnerabilities. Be sure to read their Security Page for more information. If you insist on using Windows/Linux/MacOS, be sure to use your computer as a limited user. I would avoid logging in as the administrative user even to install software. In windows, most software refuses to install under a limited user. The only time the administrative user should install software is if you want all users on the machine to use the same software. For some software like Adobe Flash I have found the easiest way to install it is install it as the Administrative user, then manually disable the browser extensions as the administrative user. This is an error-prone process. For untrusted software that you don't know what it does, you should definitely install it as a limited user. If the software requires administrative access, you can install it on a test machine; virtual or not. At the risk of multiple personality disorder, you may want to create separate user accounts for different high-risk activities. One for playing flash videos/games, one for bitcoin, one for business, and one for personal use. This only improves security if all of those accounts are limited users. This implies that your "gaming" machine should be separate from your bitcoin machine: most games have DRM that requires administrative access to install (and sometimes even play). You Sir are a good man.  I enjoy the method you provide to disable and/or sanction certain software to different user accounts. how do feel about disabling java? From my wanderings I have noticed very slight mention of it, however the slightest of mentioning were indeed ways of compromising systems through JVM. What of scripts people can run on systems can anyone recommend anything? Similar to OSX, how a user can fix system software problems through running AppleJack, or on several Linux systems where a person with limited knowledge can actually run a security audit with rootkit hunter? I haven't seen anything beyond pocket protector talk on technet about security audits. Basically says security audits on windows is useless from what I can glean. |

I understand why, but I don't know if I'm happy that they moved this topic.

not to be contrary but from my perspective, there is a point when people just say fuck it and turn off the goddamned news and stop paying for it. That is probably what NPR is seeing.
Honestly, when I see a guy on the side of the road selling a newspaper, I think of that guy as a carrier of the virus, the virus being a derangement strategy. I see him looking at me like I need to buy one, the drug pusher trying to catch my gaze. When I see a newspaper delivery van throwing papers at people's houses, i think of that guy as helping spread a disease that cascades down from the source of the degeneration of humanity.
When i see newspaper boxes and newspaper stands i see them as OTC hard drug stores, people require a fix, and it is there to provide it, but it isn't helping them.
have you ever noticed how the happiest most loving and joy filled people on earth who really know how to enjoy life are labeled mentally deficient and cast off to the side, while all the fear mongers and lunatics are treated as sages?
