Tinfoil hat humor, what if Mark Karpeles IS the Mark of the Beast? Cheesy

Mark Karpeles should have 1 million angry emails and phone calls by now.. so his accounts are probably blocked by google and his mobile operator.
Minus one. So long as he doesn't request old users return money they've withdrawn, I don't have any beef with him since I stopped using Gox in mid or late 2011, never sent any KYC/AML docs, had no bitcoins in there either.

I wonder if anyone has called yet.
You mean if anyone has threatened them yet.

Blockchain.INFO does not know about your address, but as soon as you send a deposit, it sees you sent X bitcoins to address X. Bitcoin has a public ledger, everyone can see to an extent where bitcoins go.

Hi,

Looks like the world of Google Glass is coming and this crap is going to be everywhere soon - whether we like it or not.
I'm wondering what would be the best way to prevent myself from being recorded.

Wearing a hood and sunglasses is a pretty obvious solution, but what about more sophisticated methods? Are there any?
I've just encountered this video showing a pretty neat infrared jammer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRj8whKmN1M

What do you think? Maybe someone's gonna invent a "scramble suit" soon? Smiley

A necessary clarification for the Google fanboys out there:
The biggest problem that I have with Google Glass is that there is no external indicator diode to show when Google Glass is in recording mode.
I feel that being recorded without my knowledge and permission invades my right to privacy.






You forfeited your privacy when you were born Cheesy. The moment you entered your mother's egg, it was over. Cheesy

With a TShirt with an image like that with an airplane dropping (bitcoin)bombs, and a company named BitcoinNotBombs, I'd sure as hell be suspicious. 9/11 repeat etc.

What will happen to the bitcoin price of BTC-e shuts down without a warning, and run with your coins?

Who are you going to sue?
Nobody knows which individuals or corporation is behind that russian site.
If it does, it would spell bad news for me since it's located in my country(hint: It's not Russia).
1270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wait a minute, is this really possible? on: February 28, 2014, 01:52:15 AM
I started using Gox back in 2011 cause I was still new, I sold 50-100 coins when the price was 25-30 dollars at the time. Now you are telling me that I could potentially be asked forced to RETURN the money???

Tbh I wouldn't worry about this right now. If something like that ever happened I'm sure the statute of limitations would be long gone. Just be glad you actually got out before now.
Well I don't live in the USA or in Japan, does this apply to Europe?
1271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wait a minute, is this really possible? on: February 28, 2014, 01:48:03 AM
It's based on that thread that I started this one. I mean I was living a happy-go-lucky 3 years and now I find out I might be sued? Unbelievable.

1273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Scrypt mining - what is wrong? on: February 27, 2014, 10:15:37 PM
I have Windows 7 x64, and a 5850 and 5870. The 5870 is the PRIMARY card on which I game and the one that has the problem, the 5850 is the secondary card which usually mines and has 0 problems, knock on wood..

The problem with my 5870 is that sometimes when I enable the GPU on cgminer 3.7.2, it makes moving windows, scrolling extremely laggy, but at the same time I see the card mining with at most 16-30kh/s. This is at intensity 12. When the problem goes away by itself, I re-enable the GPU and it works just fine, reaching 310kh/s at same intensity but NO LAG.

One thing I notice is, the GPU VRAM usage does not go up when the problem is there, when it's gone and I try to mine again with the 5870, it's VRAM usage goes up. So I think what happens is, the GPU's memory is not available for mining at times. I have the latest AMD drivers and no OC.
1274  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: plan to mining btc from GPU on: February 27, 2014, 05:13:03 PM
can anyone suggest what is the best graphic card for mining ??

1 or more graphic card is better ?
Too late to the game.
1275  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How did they calculate that 744,408 BTC are missing from Mt. Gox? on: February 27, 2014, 02:18:53 AM
It's not confirmed but karpeles said that the document was "more or less"
Ok but tell me, how do 700k go missing? Where did they go? If a hacker got them, shouldn't we know with the hundreds of bitcoin gurus stalking the blockchain all day long?
1276  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How did they calculate that 744,408 BTC are missing from Mt. Gox? on: February 27, 2014, 02:13:35 AM
The should know how much in BTC deposits they should have had in reserves.  They were 744,408 shy of that number.  Seems like the easy to calculate it to me.
Is it confirmed by MtGox that 700k are missing?

Strange? Are you sure you are starting it correctly?
And what is the correct way of starting it?
Sorry, I've went through a reinstall of the OS so I had forgotten about this.
I had to lol at this. First and foremost unless the program was coded to work WITHOUT arguments it won't close. The program EXPECTS arguments, you are not giving it any, so it just exits. This is stuff on a basic level.
1278  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Doesn't MTGox deserve all those Bitcoins it supposedly stole? on: February 26, 2014, 09:34:08 PM
I mean people accepted their terms and they can do whatever they want once they had the bitcoins in their possesion.  Isn't that what modern banks do?  Once they have your money in the banks hands, you have no right to it.  Therefore, all the 750K BTC that were supposedly "lost" was theirs.  The holders have no right to them once they were transferred. According to the way bitcoins has always functioned, once it leaves one's wallet, its not one's anymore.  Discuss.

Bitcoin is trying to fight the banks, so therefore what applied to banks and fiat does NOT apply to Bitcoin and whoever deals with it.

as for the picture of his cat that he posted, https://i.imgur.com/GqZr3N5.jpg

Did you guys know that his company Tibanne is named after his cat? Yes, his cat`s name is Tibanne.

And this guy was handling hundreds of millions of dollars of other people`s money.

So now you're blaming the cat? Cheesy
1280  Other / Off-topic / Re: I'm in the Guardian again - on the right of sex workers to refuse a client. on: February 26, 2014, 01:15:40 AM

This week, newspapers reported a complaint made to Harrow borough council's Trading Standards office by a man who had been refused service by an escort. I am angered but unsurprised by his complaint; it seems to come from a familiar perception that sex workers are mere automatons, not skilled professionals.

Ha, not heard about that, but could there be anything more embarrassing for a man than to be turned down by a sex-worker? Of course, I respect sex-workers' rights to refuse service though, and it must be difficult for you to actually have to refuse people too.

Sometimes I need to refuse someone because they just stink and have no sense of hygiene.  I'm actually pretty good at being delicate about this, and people have literally cleaned up their act, and come back.  With people that seem sociopathic, nuts or dangerous I just get them away from me as quickly as possible.
Just to clarify since my brain does not compute. Your occupation is what? And you are also the author to that article in the link you posted?
