A common misconception, the number of confirmations on a transaction doesn't make it safer from a 51% attack, its time that does that.

4 LTC confirmations = same protection as 1 BTC confirmation.

Sure it get confirmations faster, but thats of no benefit at all.

I'm guessing around $0.00, maybe even into the negative.

http://bit-pay.com already does this:

Difference here is they pay the USD/EUR equivalent into the merchants account at the end of the month (like the credit card processors). Merchant never needs to hold BTC.

Well, I mean if there's videos of it, it must be legit.

I've seen a video of Will Smith running through the streets of New York with zombies chasing him, it must be some kind of government cover up.

Then you're just extremely stupid. If its not in the blockchain, then its not valid.


I really wish I could send you negative Bitcoins.

I don't need to even look at the video, anybody with any clue how the blockchain works would know this was fake.

Ask them for the block height of these 50BTC blocks they can somehow still generate (even though the reward is now 25BTC), or even ask them for the txid of the block reward payment.

Notice how the blocks are all around 10 minutes apart, none that are seconds apart, and none are 50BTC anymore.

Yeah, best bet is to wire to an exchange.

VirWox recently started verifying second life avatars due to fraud. You now have to make a Second Life account & hope that the LL Risk API doesn't prevent you from withdrawing, this usually means waiting 30 days unless you have an old Second Life account.

The easiest way to buy Bitcoins with PayPal is to withdraw to your Bank account and wire it to an exchange.

Do they accept payment in BTC?

Yup, by single username Phin has the most posts. I wonder how many posts Atlas has made through his various sockpuppets though.

Have you tried contacting them since?

Also, you should always keep backups of your wallet file.

Its kind of pointless, seeing as we now have multi sig which can do this.

This made me lol. It was an exchange that won the right to operate as a bank. Its a pretty misleading article.

OMG, BAHAHA! How did I miss that??? I had checked for it in AUR but apparently I didn't check hard enough, I feel so dumb right now.

Thanks dude.

Don't you feel silly for making this thread now? 

Electronics spying on us? Nah, I don't buy it.

I'm interested. Can you get a quote on what it would cost to ship to Ireland?

So, 9 days to go until Dank Fest. Have you found a location yet?

If this was made as an SMF plugin, it would need to be applied by Theymos, but, more importantly, BTCTalk would have to host the wallet file. It would also have a much nicer interface than if it was made into a bot.

If this was made a bot, what would happen is the bot would have its own account on the forums which it logs into, and users could send commands via pm (for balance checking, depositing, withdrawing) and also tip people by posting +bitcointip <username> <amount> in a thread, like how the reddit bot works. The bot & wallet could be hosted elsewhere & could work without specifically needing permission from Theymos (unless he bans the account of course). This is how reddit tip works.

Would you be prepared to host the bot?

I could make this easily enough either way, and could host the bot myself if need be, but just want to make sure we do this the right way.

Does it need to be a plugin?

Could a bot be used instead? (which is what is being used on reddit ATM IIRC). This would have the added advantage of not needing to be approved.
