Did I missed something? I am reading here now that people are buying this even without prove of existence .... . Did someone confirmed that miner is real and had chance to test it? I am curious.
There is no evidence it exists, but that doesn't stop people from wasting their money. Some Phinnaeus(sic) dude once said there's a sucker born every minute. If it looks like a Ponzi scheme, smells like a Ponzi scheme, quacks like a Ponzi scheme, and you even clearly tell your customer base that it's a Ponzi scheme, you'll still near-overload your servers with activity.

If there is any kind of lesson about this episode, it is that you idiots [...] Rot in your stupidity. You communication style says enough, doen't it. "You [ed.: people]", "you idiots", "your stupidity"; really says more about the one doing the talking than about the subject(s) being discussed. Not very surprising you don't get it... There was more to this Brush 242 guy than meets the eye (no pun intended ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ).

Is the trust aspect being worked on now, for I no longer see trust thingies under users' accounts? TBC, I haven't changed any of my settings of late.

Oh, I guess you can. I didn't know that. This reminds me of the time that Jim Fowler, the animal expert, had a Goliath beetle crawling up Johnny Carson's arm. Upon trying to get it off, it kept crawler toward Johnny's face. Then, it took wing, whereupon Jim said he didn't know that it could fly, whereupon Johnny ask, "What else don't you know about this thing? It could be..." (wish I could've found the video)

Ahh, I see. I thought he was talking about the name. Which is in fact of Irish orgin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheilaI didn't know Aussies used it as some kind of slang for misses. You learn something new everyday! As they say in the Geico commercials, everybody knows that. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi1131.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fm544%2Ftzimage%2Fcd110114c43_zps37604573.jpg&t=663&c=xRl8Ql2D0H1RNA) "...Dressed up like a Sheila."

It's time for me to bring some class and maturity to this thread.
1. Phin (or whoever did it) -10 points for posting a burning strawman (BBS overlap) letting the mod off the hook.
2. This thread is a living, writhing example of the Streisand Effect. (Trivia - I am one degree of separation from one of the principals in the original Streisand Effect events.)
3. Brush242, or whatever - what's with the patois? I take it you don't do much Civil Rights work.
You know me, since you're kin/friends to some photographer, I was goin' for the Scarecrow Effect: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fflavorwire.files.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F03%2Ffunnygirl.jpg%3Fw%3D374%26h%3D480&t=663&c=x7WiteHu1tkoZA)

Why the extra work when a readily available system could've done the same thing seconds after the order was placed? Hell, just send the receipt via third-class mail.

We know the the address of the Bitstamp robber. Is it feasible for future regulations to ban merchants from accepting coins from a specific address? This means also banning bitcoin mixers from doing the same.
Great idea! I'm heading to the gas station to inform them to no longer accept fiat script having the following serial numbers due to how said fiat coinage was used in the past: <numbers forthcoming>

Quote from: Gleb Gamow on January 06, 2015, 03:42:38 PM Will the new system have the negative trust indexable via the search engines, for as it stands now nary a negative comment has ever been indexed, only found on this forum via jumping through hoops depending on what settings are ticked? Trust pages are entirely customized per user, so they can't be viewed by non-users such as search engines. Great! I'm having trouble finding the settings so that my customized posts won't be indexed by non-users such as search engines. Also, I desire to set some settings so that those who speak ill of me in their customized posts are also not indexable, as I'm sure others desire to have access to them same settings. I'm having a tad bit of trouble getting my heard wrapped around as to how the thousands of negative trust comments penned by those who've taking their valuable time to warn the Bitcoin community and others worldwide of nefarious activities stemming from bad actors is compressed while BCT benefits via the sale of ads to some of the very same bad actors. Ergo, it reads to me that this trust thingy is only benefiting our little club here, doing a grave disservice to the rest of the world stumbling upon bad actors because due to somebody's infinite wisdom the vital information needed for them to make an informed decision was nowhere to be found unless they came here and read such under an ad espousing the very entity we're trying to warned them about, e.g., GAW comes to mind, of which I'm sure you've heard of them. For a prime example, here's an entity with 4,059 negative comments that placed an ad or two on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs23.postimg.org%2F4a4pnt8vv%2Fimage.jpg&t=663&c=3yIkyUqfVLULaw) Is it possible that nary a one of them 4,059 posters cared less if the search engines indexed their customized comments or not as long as we in our own little club here are made aware, or did a majority of them now falsely assumed that their vital comments about a bad actor would be available to most anybody outside the BCT Country Club? I'm safely assuming it's the latter, probably not giving it a second thought that their comments would be available on the entire internet, them having complete faith in the administrators of this forum that such was truly the case, again, never taking the time to think otherwise. Thus, by your comment, the trust system thingy was broken, and that this aspect in question will remain in place regardless of what the new trust system thingy will be, correct? Will the new trust system thingy have its comments like the following found elsewhere on the internet?: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22Failure+to+refund+and+deliver+product+for+over+1+year.+Lies+continually+about+availability+of+their+products.%22

Yup, that's me, your typical Victorian rogue.
And, following up on that clue, I uncovered the device that mined the Genesis Block: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-W1GKJlqg98k%2FTgh05cb_wSI%2FAAAAAAAAACo%2FF35L1Fwql5c%2Fs1600%2Fbitcoin_mining_pc.jpg&t=663&c=QsN-_FMzEr6A6Q) Note, the Oriental/Persian carpet in Flashman-cum-Satoshi's living room.

Great words. Very well said and I think paints a fair picture of the scene.
The TL/DR version is: HODL.
Well it is just a series of tweets it's not that long ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But TL/DR is that its working and Bitcoin still has a bright future, Bitcoin does matter. Dude, that took me over an hour to build while taking a shit, and even though I stated I'm open to giving it to Marc for free, I'm goin' do my damndest to obtain one satoshi outta his rich ass - two, if he balks. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Seriously, I enjoyed building it, taking as much pride as possible to parallel his Twitter account theme, taking certain liberties, of course. The key is, is that now all the tweets are in chronological order, as he intended, and if he had taken the time to do it correctly, the tweets would have been buried, as they just about are there now on his account. But now, they're stand-alone tweets in a readable fashion. Granted, they're elsewhere on periodicals, and the like, but I have them in their original format/venue, a task nobody prior to me took to task, so tisk! Hope you guys enjoyed. Apologies I meant that when I read it in the concise form it was a quick read but give you props for finding something productive to do when taking a shit. But if you had to compile it from a series of random tweets not in a set order .... then that is a pain so kudos. I always appreciate Andreessen's intelligence
Well I used to... selecting twitter for a communique of that length has given me doubts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Just a tad in agreement with that should have chosen a way to keep the full message intact ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) , still a good message though. I forgot to mention that with just a little effort, Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper could be tweeted in the same fashion as to how I aligned Marc's 26 tweets. BTW, did you find all the Easter eggs?: https://twitter.com/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2

Oh shit (no pun intended), soon I'll be able to play videos while taking a shit via rectal commands at the same time I'm penning posts like this one while taking a shit. And, to think that life's been good to me thus far. Here's to the future of the gaming.

BitPay has done more than anyone else. Even the Microsoft news can be attributed to BitPay.
http://www.coinbuzz.com/2015/01/05/bitcoin-bowls-popular-success/More interestingly, BitPay payed for the sponsorship entirely in Bitcoin. ESPN immediately exchanged all of thew Bitcoin for US Dollars. BitPay, the top third-party payment provider, even sponsored a Bowl game, paying ESPN for the rights entirely in bitcoins, whereupon they immediately exchanged them bitcoins using a third-party payme... Wait a second! If this trend continues, next year we may witness the Fiesta/HashTrade Bowl and the LiquidHuluBits Bowl and the Netsolus/Nectarine Bowl, all on the same day to boot, preceded by the CoinWare Parade in front of the Miami Bitcoin Embassy bearing a block-long, two-story tall banner that reads: A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man. I don't even know what you're talking about Bruno? Can you be a little less cryptic and dumb it down for me? Do you mean: Because BitPay exchanges BTC for USD they aren't doing anything valuable for Bitcoin? Streamlining merchant acceptance of Bitcoin by performing a seamless exchange function is kind of what they do for a living. What third-party payment provider did ESPN use when BitPay, a third-party payment provider themselves, and the one that got ESPN to accept bitcoins in the first place, paid ESPN bitcoins for the rights, whereupon ESPN immediately had the bitcoins converted to fiat and deposited into their bank account? BitPay --> ESPN --> BitPay --> BitPay's Bank --> ESPN's Bank or BitPay --> ESPN --> CoinBase --> CoinBase's Bank --> ESPN's Bank The latter wouldn't make any sense, for it was BitPay that got ESPN to accept bitcoins, not BitPay's competition, CoinBase. The rest of the BS that I penned about CoinWare, et al., was to get you to think about the above. It doesn't make sense! BitPay could've easily just gave ESPN a check and that'll be that. But to state that they gave ESPN bitcoins whereupon the bitcoins were immediately sent back to BitPay so that a conventional fiat transfer can be made doesn't make sense on so many levels. Just like nobody, and I mean NOBODY can open up an account at BitPay to solely convert their personal BTC to fiat, whether it's a buck, ten dollars, a grand, or a million dollars. BitPay is a third-party payment provider. The key word being third. But, supposedly unknown to BitPay, that's exactly what service they provided to Sonny Vleisides' BFL when they converted over 10 MILLION DOLLARS worth of BTC to fiat under the guise of product purchases where there is NO way that BitPay wouldn't have known that that was exactly what BFL was doing even prior to this PR release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11283333.htm picked up by Reuters here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/31/idUSnGNX4VPYg9+1dc+GNW20131031Again, BitPay is a third-party payment provider and not an exchange. Especially, not an exchange to convert tens of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins that were mined via ill-gotten means to fiat, of which is exactly what transpired when BFL did such virtually up to the day of the raid on their facility via the FTC. To be clear, BitPay was a major player in a multi-ten-million-dollar money laundering scheme conducted by Sonny Vleisides' BF Labs Inc. (Butterfly Labs) and I uncovered it back in late 2013 (not 14), but nary a periodical has touched this. The question is why? And why has BitPay not answered a single email to them concerning this issue?

People keep attributing the fall to $270 on the 19k coins being dumped on Finex or other exchange(s). This is not the case!! The coins haven't moved out of the address they were sent to ----- > https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCfCould the fall have been due to dumping precipitated by insider info..? yes. Were the hacked Bitstamp coins dumped..? no. Can the coins be dumped..? not easily and definitely not in a way that is going to crash the market further. So just stop... please... thanks already... That's hacker address ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Still confuse about the impact bit stamp hacked to bit coin price ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) That is the address the coins were consolidated in after the hack. The practical implications of this are that there are now 18,000+ BTC that the market has to absorb which could bring down price. However, these coins can't be sold on an exchange because they are marked and that would identify the hacker. Also, Bitstamp is now short 18,000+ coins which they may need to buy on the open market which could cause the price to increase. And finally, Coinbase and others were using Bitstamp to place their orders. Now that Bitstamp is down their volume will be shifted onto other exchanges temporarily increasing the price (This is what probably caused the rise 12 hours ago). Bitstamp won't have to buy bitcoins on the open or any other market. Their reserves are well-stocked. In fact, probably the latest bitcoin wallet address belongs to them, if not 5 of the top 10.
