"to send their responses to rosselbricht @ gamil.com", how could he be so sloppy ?
Read the full indictment, he registered his "altoid" account in here with that email, and they already had that. But everybody wait and think: he just wrote ONE post about SR, and the October 11th post in which he said he was looking for an IT pro was very generic. And they caught him BECAUSE OF THAT, meaning that they have been thoroughly monitoring everybody that wrote ANYTHING about SR. And this applies to everything. Creepy... |

Wonder what took them so long? DPR was an arrogant schmuck, and this was inevitable. Poke the bull, get the horns.
Gathering evidence is a lengthy process. Anyhow, I hope that everybody realizes now that everything they say in the internet is being monitored, everybody is being profiled and what they say and *how* they say it is being analyzed. Being on the internet is like being fully naked on your town's main street. If you have something to hide, better not being online *at all*. The things you write about your interests, your opinions, your grammar vices, etc. will be linked together. Believing otherwise is being delusional. But, as I said earlier, I'm glad he was caught. A cold blooded murder less on our streets. |

Plus, its incredible creepy how DPR hired a murder of a canadian guy, he paid 1500 BTC for it and received a pic of the corpse of the guy. What a piece of shit, I lost all respect for him.
I don't. If you try to blackmail someone that is exactly what you're asking for imo. I strongly disagree. I personally cannot have anything else that hate and despise for someone who hires a hitman and pays upon receival of the picture of the corpse. Read the indictment. He gives to the hitman all the details of the canadian guy, including "Wife + 3 kids". Honestly, I'm about to vomit. |

Has anybody posted "THIS IS A GOOD THING" yet?
I've read that already somewhere around, one claimed that he didn't wanted btc associated with SR, to be honest I feel the same way. How do you feel about cash being associated with buying weed? Or cocaine? Maybe you should tell those folks you don't like your dollars being associated... bottom line is currency will be used to purchase items. There is nothing inherently wrong with what SR was doing - what's wrong is the overstepping of jurisdiction by the US, crushing personal freedoms and enforcing lifestyle mandates as well as long term incarceration for voluntary behaviors. If no one was buying anything, what's the point of a medium of transfer? Let people buy what they want, so long as they aren't bothering you. SR wasn't just a boon to BTC, it was a boon to the world, circumventing tyrannical oppression of lifestyle mandate... Hell, our tax -dollars- buy bombs and murders all day, far more than have ever even been considered to purchase with coin, I don't see enough people complaining to those ordering the hits.. Are you seriously supporting SR? Your opinion might change if your kids were hooked on drugs. Society has rules to keep the strong from preying on the weak. Yes, it's a very flawed system but a necessary one. Would you really want to live in a world where it's ok to buy a contract to murder someone because they upset you. I wouldn't. Well, I personally don't have anything against drugs, while I would never engage any activity that could get me in jail: not only because of self-protection, also because I would never do that to my kids and family. That said, I have a lot against cold blooded murders who hire hitmans and pay upon receival of a picture of a corpse. That's disgusting. Honestly: if that's true, may he rot in jail forever. |

If the feds made the connection in 2011, what took them so long to find DPR? Just in case you read my post, I don't do drugs, never did, never will.  Well, they did not "make the connection", they just started to monitor the guy, as they are probably monitoring hundreds if not thousands of users in these (and many other) forums. They realized that Ross Ullbricht read the same books as DPR, that he like the same youtube videos, that wrote in a similar way... So they waited until they caught him receiving fake ID's and such. I hope you all realize that being on the internet is like being naked in the middle of your town's main street. If you have something to hide, better not being online at all. |

Crazy shit:  Wow I hate to say this.. but the owner of silkroad is an idiot.. And a murderer. We don't need murderers paying for "clean" or "un-clean" hits in BTC. What a piece of shit. As many stated here, the fact he was caught is a good thing. |

Wouldn't it be more likely that the owner made a human mistake and got caught somehow?
Read the indictment. They are monitoring these forums (and much more), they looked how a guy called "altoid" mentioned SR very early on, he had registered that account with his real email ( BTW, Theymos: how did they get the email through which he registered his btctalk account?). So they thoroughly monitored "Ross Ulbricht", and they realized he had the same interests of DPR - they wrote about the same books, liked the same videos... So they started to follow his moves... And they caught him. They are watching. source? The indictment: http://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/UlbrichtCriminalComplaint.pdf |

The part where he paid like 1500 coin to get someone hit in Canada and says he has done it before for 80K.
That creeped me out a lot. "I had a clean hit before for $80k before"... Wow. Plus, its very creepy how he received a picture of the corpse of the canadian guy close to a paper with random numbers he provided. Finally, the fact they found about him in this forum is the most creepy thing. His bitcointalk.org forum account "altoid" was the reason he got busted. |

Orama - Should the folks that received tracking information today expect to have the devices shipped today?
No way if international. Assuming you are in Europe (zone 3 shipping) that would be next day. Other places can be later. I asked if they would be shipped today (not arrive today)  So, because I got an e-mail from UPS, does that mean its going to be on a truck in the next hour or two? That would be sweet. Yes, if you received tracking your boxes will be probably be on a truck very soon, and when they get to the UPS warehouse the label will be scanned, and on the tracking follow-up website you will se an update and a more precise expected delivery date (for experience I warn you that it might say "expected delivery oct. 3" now, but then change to a day later when the label is scanned in their warehouse). |

UPS picks up once a day
so this means, that who don't have tracking number yet will have to wait one more day? No. Tracking numbers are sent as soon as the label is created by KnC. Having a tracking number just means that the label was created, but UPS might still not have picked up the boxes - FYI: i work a lot with UPS, you can push them to have 2/3 picks up per day, but no more, and they usually prefer to do only one pick up every day, but as soon as you introduce a delivery request in their system, they create a tracking number (which they can send to any email you introduce in the system). |

For the LULZ, our whining investor mechs and his crazy run (graph below).

These guys have been pulling allnighters. I hate you all. By the way, there is a reason as to why there was a slight delay. Rem I said Marcus is a perfectionist, and Sam is the one cracking whip about delivery being the greater priority. Well some middle ground was reached somewhere in between which I can't talk about. I'll let Sam take the honour there.  You might be biased, but you are doing a great work for the community. Its not the first time I say it. Keep it up, mate. |

But you can't explain the mathematical definition of variance to someone with no probability background. What would he write?
"Variance: Reasonable chance you lose many moneyz" ?
"Though we have a 1% house edge, and in the long run will earn a profit of 1% of the wagered amount, in the short term we can still lose money. In times when we are lucky, we win many bets and earn a larger-than-expected profit, and in unlucky times we earn less than expected, and can even lose out. This is especially so if someone comes in and makes a large number of massive bets - we can either gain a lot or lose a lot. In the event that we are really unlucky, our bankroll stands to decrease by over __%. If you believe that the potential gains do not outweigh the potential losses, please do not invest." Quite good! I think a disclaimer is REALLY a good idea, and will help a lot the good old dooglus. |
