He's already there, in post #6.
I know all of them except the fat guy in post #8 and the one in #7 (is he deceased? His picture is black n white)
Is #7 a joke? #6 is RandyFold's avatar. #7 is PinkiePie's avatar. How has a RL image of goat? BitcoinPorn? |

At 6:10 A.M. before daylight on September 14, 2012 while my wife and I were sleeping in our small Franklin, TN home... Something is not adding up with all this. First, I can't believe MB's allowed to post information while an investigation is being conducted. Secondly, He registered the following 9 days after being questioned. Furthermore, take a look at the EXIF of the photos on his site. Something doesn't add up there either. I was going to add more this post but was stopped by Google (see below the fold).

EDIT: I just edited out the IP address, for I thought it was only for Sandwich, IL, but luckily I checked for I think (seriously don't know) that it was truly personal. When I searched for it, it asked for log in info. I'm having a blonde moment here Phin, so help me out. Are you saying that when you typed Michael * Brown into Google you got that message, because I can't replicate it either with or without the *. I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't be allowed to post while an investigation is under way. He hasn't been charged with anything and even if he had been I doubt he'd be gagged by any court. I'm not surprised that he decided to solicit donations after the search and seizure. I think it's tacky as hell and that he's hoping to exploit anti-government sentiment, but begging for donations on the internet seems pretty common these days. When I check the EXIF data it shows the images as having been taken on January 1, 2011 at around 1pm US Pacific time but there's no way of knowing whether the time and date on the camera were set accurately. In re. Google search: I haven't had another instance yet. I simply copy & paste what was on Google's page, but not the captula. As far as for the images, I understand that a new cheapo camera was purchased/used to snap those images, thus not setting the time on the camera. Yet look at the times (of day) they were snapped, then edited with Gimp showing the times up to the second. The family photo is copywrited by Angel____________. In this TV interview with MB, not once is Bitcoin mentioned: http://www.wsmv.com/story/20006705/secret-service-investigate-franklin-man-in-romney-tax-return-theftAny interviewer worth their salt would have mentioned that unless they were instructed not to. What if a million dollars in gold were requested? Silver? Diamonds? Unmarked twenties? KitKats? Either one of these would have been mentioned. But a million dollars in Bitcoin, a pseudo-currency, doesn't merit a mention? Odd! MB also mentions in the interview that the only time he heard about this episode was on the news. Yet he's on record more than once stating he read about it on this forum prior to being questioned by the Secret Service. I'm not an expert on body language, but overall he does come across as innocent during the interview, but with a couple minor twists when answering in the negative. He filmed the last time he was raided by the SS. I wonder if he has new footage. <tinfoil hat on with metal rod inserted>Janine Bolin's cat: Cats have nine lives. Bolin is similar to Bovine. Bovine is a cow. Josh uses Cowmail and once had a BBS in Franklin, TN.<off> (facts, but not serious) (I reserve the right to revisit this if I latter learn that MB is also a Furry) |

I hate to sound like I'm defending him, but it's possible that he was developing the TimeKoin concept for a long time prior to launching it. I read a lot of his early posts yesterday and it's pretty clear that he's always been looking for something which would give him some kind of "edge" over others. While he's lying when he describes TimeKoin as "long tested", the idea of developing a digital currency which doesn't require high end computers isn't unique. From what I can see, he had a fair bit of interaction with the devs - including Satoshi - back in the day so he was exposed to the process of developing and refining a client. This guy seems to be an opportunist so I'm not surprised that he's looking to create a niche alt currency. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but there's no doubt that people who now feel locked out of BTC mining are looking for something similar they can do with their existing hardware. MB's Timekoin goes back to CPUs were all the rage: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/123704108/About-Timekoin (to read the entire abstract)While I admire the system's genius, I do see some flaws from a resource standpoint. The process
and math for Bitcoin is sound, but the means by which it functions is a wasteful process.  |

Surely he's not this stupid: http://forums.timekoin.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=84 by KnightMB » Wed Sep 12, 2012 7:51 am I looked around, seems to be two stories. One that says the group "Anonymous" has released them and another that some group got them from his tax office. I think the latter is true and the former was a news hoax. I did read a topic over at the bitcoin.org forum about this as well. They seem to think the FBI will track them down right away. |

There are times in a persons life when someone says something that is so incredibly stupid that you are actually incapable of giving a response without it simply devolving into a series of insults and mocking, not because the person is correct, but rather the person is so stupidly wrong they don't even see it themselves, I thought I'd post this thread up for some constructive hilarity, who knows? I might have said something? Trololoollool  This thread doesn't have to be about just this forum it can be from anywhere even if it's a news article or something like that, I'd just thought I'd be constructive about this and let the people who are saying things know there are people who don't necessarily agree with them. +1 Reserved & Bumped EDIT: Plus BTC = $c2 |

Is there a site where one can play Mahjong for Bitcoin?
Hmm, how would that work? You play and get Bitcoins if you complete the game? I might add that "option" in the future. Then you may consider using images of companies currently accepting bitcoins. Advertising meets board game ---> paid to play. |

Can you buy weed there? Looks like it....
You're right! I didn't notice the following before: A company that will develop innovative useful things.
But no ordinary company. |

So is this project dead? Or did MNW pass it along to a new team?
Rumor has it that a new team has picked it up and is currently taking pre-orders. Also, there's 2-3 other entities currently developing said device, therefore don't expect to see many images posted by the myriad of photographers currently attached to said entities. Enough said? ~Cackling Bear~ |

It could be a red herring just to throw us off. This Netherlandthal has yet to present himself to explain why he didn't choose to scam us first. Now we're getting somewhere. Didn't some guy on this forum wanted to do the same with a train boxcar? (referring to bus guy as a joke)(remember to post in a humorous sense--as far as I know, this is not a bad guy) |

Could be the equivalent of a meatspace Faucet.
Leave the printed keys to addresses with say .10btc each scattered around the museum, for people to collect. Check them and replace the spent ones regularly.
Better yet, print out a few thousand of them and drop them out of a plane, with instructions.
WOW!!! |

I am starting again to contact NGOs to accept Bitcoin as donation option. So, BitPay would be the best option for them, I think: https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-for-charitiesNow, not every NGO and Charity is a registered "US 501(c)(3)", which is the criteria on the page for having the fees released. May that be up for discussion, when an NGO clearly is non-profit and charitable, but not registered as a US501? Not that such little fees would make a huge difference, I just want to make sure I won't have to backpedal later. On another note: Phin, you are getting slow on this. You might as well fall over and start rusting altogether! Hereby I get the things in my own hands now! *throws gauntlet* Ente A lot has happened in my life lately. First I lost my thumbdrive... Seriously, here's my solution. Go ahead and promise ZERO FEES. This will be accomplished by one (or all) the following ways: BitPay may waive; Bitcoin 100 will over-fund to cover said fees; or, I will pay them. ~Bruno K~ |

I enjoy descrete math. I don't hate calculus very much but my software engineering curriculum has 3 courses of calculus. That's just too much calculus for my taste!.
And no I am not in the states I am in Saudi Arabia. A very sandy (<- sorry no pun intended) place far away.
You have calculus class in Saudi Arabia on Sunday? |

To be honest I wrote it in English to avoid writing it in Arabic. There is almost no content whatsoever on the Internet about Bitcoin. So writing about it in Arabic will make me translate some terminologies literally which would need even further explanations. I thought this way I could give them "a thread".
But you are living here in the states, aren't you? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=62227;sa=statPanel |

Bitcoin is erroneously compared in the first paragraph with companies that transfer dollars. That is similar to saying "The Japanese Yen is like Western Union".
Please refer to Satoshi's paper. The title says what exactly? I am not mentioning Bitcoin(s), I am mentioning Bitcoin. The payment system. And guys thank you for not grilling me over something I wrote while I was bored in calculus class -_-, so mature of you, Oh dear forum dwellers. How does one become bored in calculus class? Is it either doesn't like it or knows it all? Concerning the maturity aspect, rid these "-_-" (I don't even know what they're called, but believe it's some kind of shorthand for smileys). All in all, this is an informable thread. ~Bruno K~ |
