Nice design, but the bootstrap modal sticks out like a sore thumb.

Oh.... I jumped to an assumption from the post in the other thread. You can safely disregard my email now, unless you don't want to...  Smiley

Hmm, will let you know. Smiley

Since you shut down the other thread, I'm going to repeat my comment there here.  I'd like my money from my CD back now, with interest through today.  And none of this Inputs.io crap, just send it to the same bitcoin address that I used to fund my account. 

Contact admin@glados.cc from the same email as your CL account.

CoinLenders has already closed down. What you see now is the fully functional demo.

See the new thread if you are confused. There are no pending changes, all the changes have already been made.
1604  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] Deprived Mining Speculation (DMS) on: August 29, 2013, 06:44:18 PM
I definitely understand. If you'd like to pull the CDs right now I'm happy to oblige, just let me know. Don't read the changes the wrong way through.

About the 200 bitcoin - I wonder when the press picks up on it.

The value Mr. Cat created for the public perception of bitcoin is bigger than 200 coins.



Definitely true. "Bitcoin miner voluntarily returns $22,000 mistake"

Specially how the way something was marketed makes a difference:

Quote
"Had the offer mailed by defendants omitted the economic inducements of the proposed and promised exploration well, it would have been a quite different proposition."

The way you word it / market it was one of issues for debate on if it constituted an investment contract or not. If you notice, btct.co has recently added a 'disclosure statement'.

I think that's enough, I apologize but I will refrain from commenting further in this thread.

But I gotta say, it doesn't fill me with confidence that your defense above refers to a giant, long-running, ponzi scheme

Things like habeas corpus are often challenged by later convicted terrorists. That doesn't mean it is reasonable to assume anyone basing off those precedents are terrorists.

This case is actually a lot more relevant to btct.co - does that make it a ponzi scheme?
1608  Economy / Lending / Re: CoinLenders Script :: Bitcoin Bank (Borrow+Deposit) Software :: Demo Available on: August 29, 2013, 05:50:29 PM
however you want to word it makes no difference.

If "however you want to word it makes no difference" we would not have contracts, terms of conditions, etc.

I think what he means is for this type of "crime" they look past word games, not that no contracts or legal language are ever valid. For example, if someone were to buy a person, and I say "oh, it's not 'slavery', it's just a lifelong work contract", it won't fly, regardless of the words used.
That's not going to fly because the crime isn't about wording, the crime is about the action. Whereas an investment contract is about how something is worded and presented - there's already a precedent for this. Check my response in the other thread Smiley
1609  Economy / Lending / Re: What is **actually** going on with Coinlenders? Open discussion on: August 29, 2013, 05:49:10 PM
No, it makes no difference whatsoever.
It is actions that matter, not what you call them.
It might make people less likely to notice what he is doing though.
When the action is about wording and how it is presented / marketed..
1610  Economy / Lending / Re: What is **actually** going on with Coinlenders? Open discussion on: August 29, 2013, 05:42:23 PM
Now, does anyone know if that will really protect him legally? I ask out of curiosity and because it could be instructional. To my understanding, the government doesn't even acknowledge such defenses ("It wasn't prostitution! I only paid her for her company, not for sex!"), at least in the US. So if you're gonna be on the wrong side of the law, wouldn't it be better to just be clear with your customers?

I'm actually not a coinlenders user (though I was thinking about it), but I do use inputs.io and this development worried me a bit--enough to panic withdraw my coins. That's why I was hoping for some answers, so I could allay some of my worries and go back to inputs cause I really like it.

That's a totally different comparison. There's no expectation of profit on the demo instance, and it is not an common enterprise.

It's true that calling interest "fee rebates" has no purpose. However, there's already a precedent that the changes were based on - SEC v. SG, Ltd., 265 F.3d 42, 45.

When the "crime" is about how something is presented and marketed, then yes "word games" makes a difference.
1611  Economy / Lending / Re: CoinLenders Script :: Bitcoin Bank (Borrow+Deposit) Software :: Demo Available on: August 29, 2013, 05:31:23 PM
TF, why not just comply with all relevant laws and legislations, instead of jumping through hoops that won't make any difference? Too much like hard work?

Each country (and state) has it's own regulations and legislations. The cost to be licensed worldwide is simply too prohibitive, it's not about "hard work" but rather "impossible for any Bitcoin business existing today". It's precisely what the regulation was designed for - to limit possible competition.

1612  Economy / Lending / Re: CoinLenders Script :: Bitcoin Bank Software :: Demo Instance Available on: August 29, 2013, 05:22:01 PM
It is only a demo, and should not be seen as an investment.
I hope that the demo is fully functioning. We shall see at 1am.
It is.
1613  Economy / Lending / Re: CoinLenders Script :: Bitcoin Bank Software :: Demo Instance Available on: August 29, 2013, 05:01:23 PM
So what happens with the old investors, no more fee rebates? I imagine I can withdraw the coins I have in your site right?
The old site has shut down however the demo instance has been prefilled with real world data. The demo site functions exactly the same way as the "old site".

It is only a demo, and should not be seen as an investment.

Due to growing regulatory attention on Bitcoin, CoinLenders regrettably has decided to close it's service. As detailed on the site, everything was fictional anyway.

We're now selling the CoinLenders script and we have a fully functional demo instance available here. It has been filled with real world data, take a look!
1616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Vanitygen: Generate an address with X characters on: August 29, 2013, 10:44:11 AM
You want to choose 32 characters?
No. I want any address that is 32 characters long. According to the Bitcoin wiki, Base58 can be as short as 27 characters.


Would the following work?

$ vanitygen -r "1[a-zA-Z0-9]{31}"

How about:

$ vanitygen -r "1TF[a-zA-Z0-9]{29}"


Vanitygen doesn't support this.
1617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Nodes on port 80 or 443 on: August 29, 2013, 09:34:54 AM
My firewall blocks everything except 80 and 443, do you know some nodes on these ports?
I found mint.bitminter.com on 192.31.187.114:80 but it doesn't seem to respond...

You can set up a linux box and use iptables to act as a port 80/443 proxy.
1618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: The most secure wallet? on: August 29, 2013, 09:33:42 AM
Any wallet with built-in encryption will prevent unauthorized access. Keep in mind that no amount of encryption will help if you're being keylogged, so keep your system secure from malicious software.
Only complex keyloggers that take screenshots with every click can keylog the PIN entry on Inputs.io

You are getting this error because bitcoind rejects this transaction:

Is anybody else having this issue?
When I go to CoinLenders, it loads the home page, then I press the "Login" button. But after I login, it redirects me back to the home page, but the home page is now the same as before I logged in Tongue But if you press the "Login" button again from there, it tells you that you're ALREADY logged in Tongue
Not happening for me. Are you sure you are on the real coinlenders.com and not a phishing site ??
