1561  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Great Silk Road Crash of 20** ...? on: September 20, 2012, 07:19:53 PM
can anyone explain how an entire site can exist inside TOR?  I mean I read that it's like a fake TLD that's correctly translated but wouldn't the creators of the TOR software have to manually code the software to accept and properly route fake TLDs?  So pull the plug on that idiotic feature!  I'm still not convinced they designed it that way in the first place but I can't imagine how else someone could set up a website that exists only in TOR and have it actually work.

Btw with all the 3rd party code and direct to browser scripts and FTP operations and stuff, any web server sitting only in the TOR network would get identified and found out in like a day.  So if those idiots think they're safe, they're not.
I see You are a survivor from prime days of lobotomy! You mention many technical aspects but understand none of them in this and subsequent posts. All you mention such as offsite loading, embedding, plugins etc are taken care of. You did not even seen Silk Road page? LOL! Security "expert" who is afraid from .en extension in Tor Project homepage and is talking about Tor vulnerabilities in same time. You are retard, tell your handler The Suit that You failed!

Somewhat useless idea. There are tons of unprotected WiFi available and even more can be hacked to gain access.

Hmmm not sure what that Torbutton or Tor browser are about, I run Tor per se, just plain Tor, and Torchat and my Firefox has some foxyproxy thing it uses to make it use the Tor proxy port.

I don't trust the browser not to leak some info by things like doing DNS lookups so I wouldn't trust the browser for anything I actually need to have secure anyway; Torchat seems a better approach than a browser and if making the borwser actually be secure means installing a whole new/separate browser I might as well install Torchat instead, it seems simpler enough to give me more confidence that it is not full of as yet undiscovered holes caused by some stpud resource-hogging eyecandy or earcandy or mindcandy bell or whistle that adds more vulnerability for the sake of encouraging adoption by idiots...

Foxyproxy is for switching proxy not making Tor browsing safe. Tor homepage is clear about this.

Satoshi Nakomoto is word most likely invented by westerner. Like Yamomoto Kamikaze or Sepukku Fujitsu.

I thought javascript can find out the IP address the browser is at, thus is an absolute no-no when visiting DEA honeypot sites and the like?

-MarkM-

Torbutton takes care of dangerous scripts. It will work only if you are using plain socks5 proxy, eg pointing browser connection to 127.0.0.1:9050 instead of using Torbutton addon or Tor browser.
1566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It doesn't make sense to DDOS a Bitcoin service and demand ransom in bitcoins on: September 16, 2012, 10:18:52 PM
OP got it wrong!

No matter what are the consequences of a little hack or flood the attacker might get richer by 1000 or any other number of coins. One exchange going down might cause bitcoin value spike in another exchange. It is all about supply and demand.
1567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitWasp Marketplace - to make sites similar to Silkroad on: September 16, 2012, 05:38:35 PM
For JavaScript to do bad things the server must be malicius. And if server is run by untrustworthy people then JS is probably one of last things to be concerned.
1568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitWasp Marketplace - to make sites similar to Silkroad on: September 15, 2012, 12:37:08 AM
Thanks, this will help me to make my own anonymous marketplace so I can run away with users coins still in escrow.

Wait! Just trolling! This open source project will make for authorities much harder to fight against black markets. Another unwinnable war for government scumbags!

Obviously, if I was tortured I might give up my Bitcoins, but I don't see how any scheme can protect you against torture or other forms of coercion.
There are at least two schemes to prevent torture. First one is destroying the information enemy needs and not knowing it in first place. Second one is martyrdom to prevent capture. Both of them are somewhat overkill in case of bitcoins. Thiefs are good at physical things, not purely virtual ones like bitcoins.

Trying what? Trying to pretend that bitcoins are pink and fluffy? Not trying to ignore that there are such things in a world like black markets, terrorism and obama?

You're not trying to make a clear point. You're rambling.

btw.
black markets have always existed
terrorism has always existed
you're apparently racist

Why is this an interesting addition to this conversation?

My point is why people care that Bitcoins are used for such things? It is easier to buy pound of marijuana than gallon of milk using bitcoins. Of course I also have nothing against using bitcoins to buy food other than space cookies, but bitcoins are not mainstream currency for now. I still use dollars and euros and love them. Then more then better!

Black markets exist because some things are banned.
Terrorism exists because there are oppressors and oppressed people who better blow themselves and enemies to pieces than being oppressed and humiliated.
I am racist. Problem?

I don't know why Bitcoins can be more attractive target for home invasion robbers than other expensive things such as jewelry or paintings or exotic cars. Some people in your area might be known to have them. They probably cost more than your Bitcoins and most boneheads have no idea what bitcoins are. So don't worry!
1573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If I was a newbie.... on: September 12, 2012, 11:19:47 PM
Bitcoins are perfectly suited for criminal activity. Even more than cash or probably gold. If you want safe kindergarten then use PayPal.

First in year 2010 Bitcoins were used by crypto geeks and drug smugglers. In year 2021 it is used by people resisting new world order. If You don't like hyper-inflating paper dollar, nigger as president and don't think fake democracy enforced with army is best form of government, you are just as "criminal" like botnet owner, pedolover or druggie.

Encrypt the computer who have Bitcoins with TrueCrypt and strong password. Dont lose the rescue CD also as it will help in case of MBR damage.

If You live in USA buy a gun. Problem solved, no escaped slaves will successfully invade your home and take your Bitcoins.

They failed to prove they got anything valuable to release or not to release. Even I can get such scam running and stupid americans are overreacting. I did not even know who Romney was before this. Probably some actor from B-movies or smth.

Nice coins for few good writings. Reminds me of Silk Road scam where someone pretended to be DPR.

The singularity will never happen in my opinion. Average IQ of population decreases as capitalism and interracial breeding takes place. The technology also loses quality, computers in particular not so well built like they were 15 years ago. Computers becomes more powerful in terms of computing and raw throughput, but the general population even struggles with copy-paste operations and renaming of files.

The noobs will damage Dyson sphere when drunk and majority of the energy from it will be diverted to power some unnecessary eye candy like Vista Aero instead of powering real computing.

But I dont see any real obstacles why Bitcoin system can not last for my lifetime and lifetime of my kids. It will last as long as internet and binary computers exist.
1578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin life expectancy... on: September 07, 2012, 06:45:59 PM
Bitcoins will not last for infinity. Only thing that is finite by design is the storage space available for blockchain. In physics and cosmology it is known that no civilization can acquire infinite amount of data.

But even this might not be a problem in far future. The biggest threat to Bitcoins are noobs and government. Geniuses create things, noobs screw them up in any imaginable or unimaginable way and then government steps in and put regulations on it. And this might happen long before all matter in asteroid belt is transformed to solid state drives.

Censorship is like Michael Jackson's anal bleaching - at some point it got out of control.
lol, I like that one is that your creation?
Partially. I added the censorship thing to this, the MJ bleaching was probably from efukt.com long time ago.
If your bitcoins are stolen this is your and only your fault!

Of course, the thief is totally innocent.  Roll Eyes
This is how computers work. Some people are smarter and makes computers to do unexpected things for amusement or abusement. Get over it or return to using mechanical Iron Felix.

To original topic - the time locked transactions are possible right now - the coins are locked from spending for approx 10 minutes until they are in a block. I dont see any need for Bitcoin to to all sorts of things for any life situation. Bitcoins are purely for transactions, use web based services such as mybitcoin.com or mtgox for any additional "features" such as freezing your own coins from withdrawal and so on.
