161  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: who benifit most from the btc price drop on: September 12, 2011, 11:13:35 PM
The 'last' time MtGox was hacked, they tried to crash the price of BTC's so that they could withdraw as many BTC's into offsite wallets. Back then, MtGox had a $1000 per day withdrawal limit which could be in $$$ or $1000 worth of BTC's.

The hackers tried to sell off a load of their stolen bitcoins at very low prices which saw the price of the bitcoin crash, and this allowed them to transfer a lot more bitcoins than they should have had off of the site.

Since the hack, MtGox also puts a fixed limit on the number of bitcoins you can withdraw per day.

Another solution is to disable hardware acceleration in flash properties.

I was fiddling with a friend's mining rig the other week, and he was having similar issues and pulling his hair out with regards to not being able to watch online flash vids (I suspect porn. lol). Disabling hardware acceleration solved it in an instant.

This was yesterday in the MtGox IRC channel:

I took out my $USD and BTC out of MtGox a week or two ago after they were white-knighting for our beloved convicted fraudster Bruce. It looks as though I made the right decision,

A friend of mine was locked out of his MtGox account last night. I had assumed that his account was one of the 2000 accounts that Marc blocked due to volume trades (my friend was desperately trying to cash out), but it now looks as though his account was hijacked. He just told me that he had a unique secure password too.

More was posted from the irc channel onto SA (it is a great thread for monitoring what is going at the moment):

Question: How does Marc know that these funds are stolen, and when he talks about hacking, is he talking about Mt:Gox being hacked?

167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Full Blown MtGox Audit - Get Ready To participate. Starting Sept 25th on: September 11, 2011, 11:35:25 PM
While I took everything I had out of Mt:Gox over the past couple of weeks, I have many friends who are still trading there. One just messaged me to say that his account was blocked as he was trying to offload his BTC's and jump ship.

I then see this posted on SA from the mtgox irc channel:

2000 accounts blocked? How can he be sure that innocent people who just wanted to trade BTC's in this volatile market are not caught up with this mass blocking? Will MtGox be held financially liable for any losses that these people incur should the $ price of BTC drop during the account freezes?

Any admin hosting a site which deals with discussions of a financial nature who couldn't even be bothered to upgrade along the 1.1.xx path (yet alone switch to v.2) should hang their head in shame.

What are you talking about? This is the latest upgrade in the 1.1.xx path.
Sorry, I stand corrected. Weren't you running 1.1.13 until very recently? I still stand by the other points raised though.

How to keep abreast of security vulnerabilities in SMF 1.1.14 - From there you should be able to click your way to discovering less known vulnerabilities. Also, a tip: Check your plugins for holes.

If you need any further help, I normally charge £200ph an hour for IT consultancy, though I've never worked on any site which has ever used SMF. PM me if you are interested and I will forward you my wallet info.

The vulnerabilities in 1.1.14 have been known for a LONG time. You can hardly call what SA did a 0-day exploit. While 1.1.14 might still be 'supported', it is full of security holes. The admins of this site have been aware of these vulnerabilities for a while, as quite a few people (myself included) have pointed out the dangers of using 1.1.14.

Any admin hosting a site which deals with discussions of a financial nature who couldn't even be bothered to upgrade along the 1.1.xx path (yet alone switch to v.2) should hang their head in shame.

As for giving the database, including all PM's, and also the hosting of the site to the owner of the largest bitcoin exchange, I'm gobsmacked.

I took my $$$'s and BTC's out of Mt:Gox at the time when Bruce was visiting their company. I stopped trusting Mt:Gox when MagicalTux was white-knighting Bruce, refusing to address the evidence that was being provided (not the rumours I might add, just the evidence), and for allowing a convicted fraudster into his company's HQ. After this silent take-over of the forums, I trust Mt:Gox as much as I trust PayPal.

I have my $$$'s in my account now, and my BTC's are sitting in an offline USB stick in the gamble that they will be worth something after all this shit settles down. I'm sitting this one out.

So what if he purposefully scammed desperate and vulnerable people who were about to lose their homes out of the last of their savings?

So what if he regularly moves states owing small fortunes in rent for business and personal property in his wake?

So what if he sexually abuses vulnerable young males in Pattaya?

So what if he may have had something to do with the MyBitcoin scam?

So what if he is about to scam lots of people out of money for 'charity' (lol)

Bruce Wagner is a pure Libertarian God, and he is living the Libertarian dream.

We need more liars, thieves and scammers like him in the bitcoin community. As he is one of the biggest known scammers in the community, he is the perfect spokesperson for Bitcoin.

What phony accusations are those? I'm intrigued.

Wow, you know that you are right. Your theory sounds completely plausible, and completely eradicates the validity of all evidence concerning Bruce's fraudulent activities.

You can be sure that this was one big conspiracy, drawn up over many years by the Grand Master Richard Kyanka, and that Bruce was set up from the offset.

177  Other / Off-topic / Re: The story of Bold Funding. on: September 03, 2011, 01:38:44 AM
Could we get this thread back on track, and try to tempt Bruce into answering some questions? Create a new thread for the spinoff discussions maybe?

Good work!
