A set of computers infected by malicious software giving a remote attacker control over them.
how about... a set of computers running software giving a remote individual or group control over them. jake's bias is understandable though, it's likely most botnets are malicious. |

It's coming... I'm throwing up the basics at stripcoin.com. It's a bunch of crap right now, but there's links to girls.stripcoin.com, guys.stripcoin.com, couples.stripcoin.com and for humor, cats.stripcoin.com (no kitty porn!! cats must be 18+ ).
if you have a dedicated site for it, you might think about integrating an inbuilt shortener of sorts, so that stripcoin.com/44j for example shows someone's profile, and bitcoin address. |

I rephrased the above. I made it say similar, so it should be more clear now.
Simplified the instructions.
nevermind, i looked up 'penny auctions' (seemingly popular in the U.S.) in wikipedia and apparently it's pretty much an entirely different game to 'lowest unique bid' auctions (popular in australia). i always just assumed they were the same thing, different name. |

With such talents why don't you help the bitcoin community be a more secure place?
i believe he has just done that, by making a few people more cautious of malware. |

I immediately turn around and send the corresponding USD amount to my MtGox account and buy the coins back a couple of days later once the money gets there. heh, not a bad plan, except that costs me $30 each time. Why ? Where I live, sending money to Gox costs me pretty close to nothing. because i don't live where you live, and gox doesn't have a bank account in australia as far as i'm aware. they used to use a company called technocash for domestic transfers here, but they don't anymore. |

In the UK there is talk of a strike in the uniuon of workers who deliver petrol to garages. If negotiations fail, there will have to be a week's notice of a strike and there a week of legal shenanigans to be done first. Once a strike starts, its estimated that there is 2 weeks resilience in the system and the army has trained replacement drivers. Nothing to worry about - right? If everything goes wrong, its 4 weeks before we start to run out of fuel A government minister half-heartedly said "Fill your tanks next time you are at a garage instead of the usual £10 people spend. Bring a jerry can along and fill that too." Lo and behold, panic ensures. I've spent 45 minutes in a traffic jam caused by cars queuing for petrol. It appears that every garage in the country is besieged by motorists with jerry cans. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2121984/Fuel-shortages-Police-shut-garages-profiteers-look-cash-chaos.htmlHow does this happen? How does a peaceful country with no real problems turn into a land of panic stricken people who queue for hours for something that might run out in a month? I feel like I'm watching people having a collective brain seizure. in qld, australia a year ago we had a bit of a flood... for the majority of city-dwellers it was but a mere inconvenience and not really much to worry about... yet everyone went to the supermarket in a panic and emptied the shelves... i remember there being basically being no bottled water or bread or milk like it was armageddon. i guess if i were shopping for canned tuna that would have been sold out too. of course 2 days later most people's lives were completely back to normal. |

i know this thread is not really about 'price' or exchange rate but i was thinking recently about how sometimes there is resistance in me to spend any of my coins and i realised it's because i value them much higher than $5 each. when i spend 10 btc for example, it feels like i'm giving up A LOT more than fifty bucks. i think subconsciously i'm taking into account their 'future value'. ...still LOVE the convenience of spending coins over fiat though  |

in penny action everyone knows the current bid
i didn't know this about penny auctions. i thought penny auctions were the same thing as 'lowest unique bid' auctions, where the current winning bid is not published until after it finishes. |

You put a dollar in your bank account. Someone withdraws a dollar after you and gets your dollar bill. You still have a dollar in your account even though someone withdrew "your" dollar. The bank doesn't have a separate cash drawer for every customer. Neither does instawallet. Every 'deposit' you see in blockexplorer is a real donation. Not every 'withdrawal' you see is a withdrawal by the owner of that instawallet. But my account balance wouldn't show a dollar being sent elsewhere from my account. My account doesn't show individual dollars as entities, they only show balances. Equivalently in Bitcoin, there is no such thing as individual bitcoins with their own entity, there's just transactions. So what is instawallet doing there? Still confused. Looking at LadyBytes' second account: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1J7T1xQk2mdEEb5wkP73EtXTox6vWvE7MLThere's a 1BTC "Sent" tx right before my 1.23 donation. Apparently it wasn't her. So what's going on? don't know why you're confused by this... it's the same thing that happens at exchanges like mtgox. even though you get a personalised deposit address, coins come out of that address to pay other people's withdrawals. try to follow this... 1. instawallet launches and is a brand new web site 2. two people each get an address, and each deposit 10 btc to 'their' address. 3. person 1 decides to withdraw 8 btc: this causes 10 btc to come out of his address, and 2 btc of that gets sent to a 'change' address belonging to instawallet. this change address does not correspond to any customer addresses. 4. person 1 checks block explorer and says WTF i only withdrew 8 btc but it says 10 btc sent. 5. person 2 decides to withdraw 2 btc, this causes instawallet to send it from the change address, since it has a 2 btc transaction there. 6. person 2 checks block explorer and says WTF i withdrew 2 btc but my address still says 10 received and none sent. |

Some malware families are capable of generating a screen capture with every mouse click during login, then sending the captured sequence of screens to the fraudster, where they can be sifted through visually to steal login credentials. - http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74461.htmlAlso - http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/key-logger-key-stroke-and-screen-capture.pdfNow if you are storing small amounts to the paper wallet, ending up with a paper wallet created from a compromised system might be a risk you are willing to take. But since some people are putting larger amounts or are using the wallet for long-term savings of bitcoins, they should know that doing the above only after booting from a trusted live-CD (such as an official Ubuntu release) is the significantly more secure approach. for this reason you might consider putting together an 'offline' computer specifically for this purpose (i.e. a computer that is never put back online). ...or use an old $50 laptop with the wifi thoroughly disabled. once you're done with it, melt it. |

I've not been able to read to the end of the thread because I've been busy 'researching' the photos
I dont know what hurts more from all this.. my wrist, or my heart from all the Bitcoins I'm now missing. Is there anyway to do a chargeback? what hurts is having to wait til i get home from work before i can click NSFW links |

Good Morning, I had intended to do payments a day or two ago, but there was a pending debt sale and they had asked me to wait. That sale seems to not be going through now, so I'm inclined to push out what I have. I've taken dollartrader's spreadsheet and added some of my own calculating goodness to it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnzolfvAaL97dGlQZjZmcFMwTzlmbWJNUHdyZnM4M2c#gid=3You'll notice that I lack a few payment addresses. Please get those to me ASAP, otherwise you'll miss out.On the second worksheet that is titled "Distributions", you'll notice there's some math going on to figure out how much to pay to each person. It boils down to this. I took the amount owed in USD, converted to BTC based on today's mtgox prices, added it to the BTC owed and found the total debt as of today. I then took the 40 btc set to be distributed and split it evenly among all the BTC owed. Everyone is being paid in btc, but the USD debt balances are still expressed as USD. I've tried to be as fair as possible and I realize that I won't be able to satisfy everyone 100%, so this is what I came up with. If you have any questions, please let me know. just one thing.... the 'total paid' field has a dollar sign in it.... $40.01 is incorrect. |
