Maybe if all victims could agree on a punishment/fine, it could work (like a 1000 BTC donation to a charity, or developing a specific project). Of course it needs to be a consensus, so either everone must agree or debt to those left out need to be settled individually.
I would agree to this. I vote for a 1000 btc donation to torservers.net. |

I'm just putting this out for anyone googling him, yes, he is a scammer, and this is the e-mail and name he used: Toni Nichols nicholset2@yahoo.comhopefully it will help someone |

I signed up just fine... it seems that he isn't actually selling anything on his site, but is using resellers, kind of like how e-gold was using exchangers to put a layer between them and payments. Nice one, maybe bitpay or someone could become a reseller providing bitcoin payments  |

The point of this thread was to spark some minor discussion into what could be done about my past inappropriate behavior. You have come to add to the discussion and I thank you for that. I wish you the best of luck on future endeavors.
You are a scammer, the only thing that can be done at this point is to pay your debts to clear your name. ~1 million dollar is a lot of money, but it's not impossible to gain that kind of money within a few years. Stop wasting your time in forums, think of some good business, make a killing, pay everyone 100% of what owed. Apology accepted. Good luck. or, for half a million dollars, I will make you a new account with full posting privileges. deal? That's not making things right. "I could easily disappear and continue working behind the scenes, but I don't think that's what I ever wanted, and it's not what anyone else deserves. I'd like to ask some advice on how to make things right." |

What we are dealing with here is a total lack of respect for THE LAW... And I love it!  |

Selected members of the press will be granted access to the new MEGA website 48 hours before the launch. I thought there would be some news coming out since it's less than 48 hours now... guess we'll just have to wait for launch to find out... I can't imagine mega.co.nz will be accepting paypal though. |

First of all, great work! I am considering to use this for long term storage. How many have reviewed the code as safe? The older bugs really freaks me out, I don't want to come back in 10 years when bitcoin is worth $10k/btc just to figure out my wallet doesn't work. Is version 2.2 really safe ?
Let's pretend that 1 in 100 wallets is "bad" (which much resembles the 1 in 256 bug I found way back when). If you print a batch of paper wallets, test a few, and then divide your BTC stash among many of them, then the risk of one being bad is actually quite tolerable. That said, I've funded decent amounts onto Bitaddress.org paper wallets with **NO** heartburn whatsoever. Back when I found the bug I found, it's because I thought just like you, and personally took it upon myself to go and test the output of a run of 10,000+ private keys generated by bitaddress (part of why it happens to support a CSV generation feature - I asked for it so I could test its output). Now that I can confirm that huge batches of keys test 100% correct against a completely independent implementation of the same thing (my Windows generator written in C#), I have no heartburn using it for large amounts. In fact, I got paid $10k worth of BTC in person by someone not too long ago, and had a bitaddress paper wallet in my pocket, since I carry a couple fresh paper wallets just for this reason. I ripped it in half, gave him the bitcoin address part, and said "here, here's my payment address". It worked just like it was supposed to. You know what wouldn't be a bad idea? If I wrote the same CSV function in my Windows utility. Meanwhile, if both pointbiz and I added a function to each of our apps just to verify the output of the other. This way it would be easy for others to repeat that same test. Thank you, this is very encouraging! I guess the only worry left is if the code generates keys in a way so that the founder has already generated the same keys. Since the code is open source this would be really stupid I guess, but again in this bitcoin world you can never be too paranoid. I don't know enough about cryptography & js to validate the code, has anyone done so ? My biggest concern about using it to make a paper wallet is one that I don't think is really knowable just by looking at the code unless you're a real crypto expert: Just how "random" is its generator? I don't know if JavaScript exposes the system's random source (and I don't know as I'd want it to), so are there enough ways to move the mouse and such however it's getting its entropy that the private key really does have the full 256 bits of randomness, or at least enough bits for most applications? Exactly what I'm thinking, it would be great if someone could shed some light on this issue. |

When this kind of thing occurs the quickest way to find out the issue is to compare the real postdata to the test postdata. A quick way to do so would be adding this to the top of your script: mail(' youremail@mail.com','debug',json_encode($_POST)); Now run the real and run the rest, you should have two e-mails. Compare them. You may even do this: $_POST = (array) json_decode('PASTE THE JSON DATA FROM YOUR E-MAIL HERE'); That will allow you to run multiple tests without firing a new postback. |

Didn't read the comments, but listened and have the following comments:
1) catchy tune
2) first listen, I didn't really realize it was about bitcoin (had it on background while working)
3) second listen, picked up on the fact that bitcoin was being repeated over and over later in the song (good subliminal messaging)
4) third listen, I approve; however, don't really enjoy anytime I hear silk road. I guess we have to acknowledge Silk Road's existence, but I'd rather exclude it from promotional information (which I'm assuming is what this song is).
This is more like a praise or a way to thank satosh for the change he has brought us. It's not a promotional of any kind although it has the potential to be. I personally believe Silk Road is great proof that bitcoin is the change it was made to be and that even if you don't like it, bitcoin enables such businesses to operate, and that is a very big part of the attraction and why it will become successful imo. We should embrace it. |

Lyrics:
Just a voluntaryist guy working late in the night.
Looking for the fight of his life.
Is there evidence that Satoshi was a "voluntaryist"? Also as I understood, Satoshi stated that he isn't working on bitcoin anymore, and has moved to other projects, therefore Bitcoin isn't the "fight of his life". But other than that, nice song. The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. While I don't believe Satoshi ever stated his ideology in public he initiated changes not through aggression, but rather through peaceful innovation. His creation is the ultimate tool for the liberty minded people, I believe these where the actions of an voluntarist. He left a few clues, not enough to confirm anything, but it can perhaps add to the belief that he was/is indeed a freedom lover: “Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.”
“Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.”
“It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though.”
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” The message of the song is that real change doesn't come from politicians and legislation (they've been talking about change), it comes from innovation, people who dare stand out and make something new, a difference, people like satoshi. As for fight of his life, he created one of the most important things in human history and have to hide for the rest of his life, never revealing who is behind this beautiful creation. To make something this wonderful and never take a single credit to me shows some very strong determination/fight for true beliefs. And even though he may claim to have "moved on" I think bitcoin remains a very important part of his life. But then again, it's just a song, something I had made for fun. You can interpret the song in any way you like. This is just my look/opinion of satoshi. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcRxeYO1YPsOpinions? Lyrics: Just a voluntaryist guy working late in the night. Looking for the fight of his life. In the real time world nobody sees him at all, they all think he's crazy Coding c and crypto to the beat of his heart, changing moments into lines. He releases the source code and off he goes to never be seen again. They've been talking about change Saying things will be all fine All the while some guy has made it on his own He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before. He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before. (crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy) There's a special kind of insanity in a place most never see It's a strong belief in cryptography, the power can't fold it You can laugh, say it's lame; an utopian dream You are "sane" if you don't believe It's distinct from this world but that makes it that change that we have been waiting for. There's alpaca socks and 'gox silk road selling various rocks never stop believing, freedom will shine through He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before. He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before. bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin, coooooiiinnns bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin, coooooiiinnns They've been talking about change Saying things will be all fine All the while some guy has made it on his own He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before. He's a maniac, maniac, in this world And he gave us change we never seen before.
