Part one in a 3 or 4 part series was released a few days ago. If you go to kindle, you can download for 5 bucks or get a free 30 day try.. Its supposed to be an indepth article about the whole silk road case. The only link i could put is the one to wired..
That's funny..... I have just started going in to the "Silk Road" crap and almost immedietely discovered a flaw: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1038833.msg11204680#msg11204680Guess what..... the flaw wasn't by the outlaw, it was by the law (from what I gather)........ So, what really happened with Silk Road? |

Nice finding. Could lead to the manipulation of the chatlogs then. Only Ross knows if these chats have been taking place or not.
Does anybody know, if the defense can order a forensic image from Ross' computer (incl memory from the arrest time) or even can get an independent institute to open an investigation on the hardisks?
Thanks  If ANYTHING has been tampered with then ALL evidence coming from Ross's laptop should be disgarded as they are not genuine data anymore. Nobody knows if they are real or not (tampered with to frame Ross) therefor should be disgarded. If what I found is real evidence/exhibits shown in the trial then it has been tampered with... That means - IF ROSS'S ATTORNEY IS WATCHING THIS [1] - he should demand a re-trial in light of new evidence that Ross is innocent and was framed by the FBI, and also demand disgarding all and any data coming from his laptop as evidence as they have been tampered with by the Feds in order to assure his sentence (if that is the right way to put it). - I would call it framing to be honest. [1] and if Ross's attorney is watching this I demand 90% of your payment coz you failed* And I didn't even start reading all the info yet. *that is of course if my findings are actual trial evidence/exhibits. I am pretty sure that Dratel will read this topic. Not so sure if he will share his fee with you, though  LOL! I didn't say share, I said I want 90% of it coz I am about to get Ross out of jail (I am only giving him a 10% coz he appeared at the court - nothing else) He got him in jail and got him to admit that he created Silk Road - Rule Number One: Never admit to anything - that means that Dratel is a horrible attorney at law (or in a deal with the "prosecutor' (FBI in this case)) That being said, before I retired, law was, well.... my profession. So when I say Ross can come out clean [1], then Ross can come out clean and be back home in no time. It is as simple as that. [1] If the evidence I have presented are actual trial evidence/exhibitions against Ross. |

Well the fact is that we can't really know what happened and the government will deny it. I for one think that he was framed nicely as the government wanted to make an example of Ross.
I'm not sure how that worked out for them as these sites have been popping up again.
Not necessarily..... If that is actual evidence/exhibitions then it has been tampered with. Therefor ANYTHING coming from Ross's laptop is invalid as there is no way to prove that it is genuine data (unless he admits to it which I doubt). So...... guess what happens! |

OK, first I apologize for having this data in two threads, but the first thread (how it all started) concerns Variety Jones and not Ross, so...... In light of my discoveries: and: Could be an error in the timeline, or do you have an idea?
NO. Definetely NOT. And I 'll tell you why: http://antilop.cc/sr/exhibits/GX-226D.pdf(2012-01-15 21:11) vj: You need to change your name from Admin, to Dread Pirate Roberts
(2012-01-15 21:11) vj: <-- isn't kidding - start the legend now
Once again, take a good look at the dates and usernames in the image below:  EDIT: Are these actual evidence from the trial? And if it is, how comes Ross's attorney did not notice this? EDIT 2: Wasn't Ross using "Silk Road" (instead of Admin mentioned above) as a username before DPR? What do you think? |

Is it technically possible for miners to "freeze" certain bitcoin addresses by rejecting all transactions to/from a list of addresses? For example if all (or 50%+) miners agree or are forced to by some new regulation to block any transaction from an address that is known to contain stolen funds. If this is possible, then it would open up for all types of regulations forcing miners to become gatekeepers and blocking "bad" transactions.
In short, yes, they can. Will they? Not unless they got a gun to their head or some government imposed it claiming "terrorist attacks" Apart from that, AFAIK the 50%+ attack will not serve the attacker to anything else other than double spends and preventing others from transacting. But then again if the word gets out that there is a 50+ on one entity/group, changes will happen very soon as to get things back to normal. |

Was employed at Lockheed, Link-Singer, and KLA (KLA was named after its founders, Ken Levy and Bob Anderson)
And Nick Szabo is 85 years old
The age and former employers are not included in the Wikipedia article. And there no verified photo of him.
OK. Guessing he is retired now? - obviously Any idea of his whereabouts/activities? |

Don't you think the VPNcoin name is a bit blunt, and lacks the luster like Storj.  The name is just fine considering that the wallet offers VPN services. Did you not read the OP? If you do you will know what this coin is all about. @vpncoin, what is going on? We ain't heard from you for more than a week. |

I think FriedCat is not a real name. Does anyone know about FriedCat's real identity ?
No, it's a Chinese dish...... Are you serious? Did you expect FriedCat to be a real name? LOL! |

Really good govt secrecy from the courts can hide as much incompetence as cool tech.
Incompetence is one way of looking at it. I was driving a cab many years ago and a lady was in the cab with a kid about 5 or 10 years old. The kid said to his mother something like "mom you have a booger in your eye", and the mother started beating the kid. Not just mild hitting, she was pounding him and he was screaming. I didn't know whether to pull over and break it up, I did nothing. I don't know much about that kid now. He would be in his 30s. I do know pretty surely he supports the NSA and any other agency without question. Some people are taught one direction, some another. Incompetence might not be the best word. WTF? You let the kid get beaten up? And what makes you so sure the kid supports the NSA now? Because the NSA can stop bad mothers beating up their kids because she has a booger in her eye? Apart from that, what makes you think that Bitcoin is not an NSA project to begin with? |

my idea is about making a virtual world where everyone can move freely,can talk,can walk,can play,can scrach his head etc....I mean not like facebok....I mean a cool animated virtual world present in a aplication...we will create the whole world and upload it on the cloud or any online storage and the application will access it and take the user in a world where he can spend time...
Do you mean like a world of warcraft or 2nd life game? How does this fit into the mobile screen, it's rather small. Wouldn't an pc app be better? I think what he is trying to build is something like Second Life. @OP I wouldn't bother if I was you. You have no idea of the requirements of what you are trying to do. Plus, no developer will do it just for shares. You need to pay up, or move on. Also, did you think about how you are going to secure this? |

Again, any decentralized storage system is vulnerable in that regard.
True. One can not argue with that. Interpol does not make laws. They can not make anything illegal or legal. They are an organ to promote cooperation between police organisations in different countries. Who is this mysterious "they" you are referring to that can change all laws on a global scale?
Interpol does not make laws, it follows them, and if they have orders to do something, they do it Internationally (or at least where Interpol has juristiction). Also, even though the word "organ" might be correct, the word organization is the preffered choice. "Organ" may refer to a body part such as a penis. Under the assumption that bitcoin have just been declare illegal, which business and/or exchange would be left? None, because all exchanges and business would now be bankrupt, unless they do not actually hold bitcoins.
True and False at the same time. They will - yes they will - attempt to get some of their money back, and that means the black markets. Blatantly declaring Bitcoin's blockchain vulnerable is not protecting any (my) children. In order to store the picture of an abused child, the picture must have been taken previously, thus the abuse must have already happened. Attacking the symptoms is not a solution. I doubt there is much of the content they are warning about in the blockchain. The main reason for this believe is that there are other, cheaper and more discrete ways. The only advantage in using the blockchain I could see is that it would be very hard to erase the data. On the other hand criminals tend to have a reason to avoid this very property as it would also make it very hard to hide their tracks.
I don't think you understood what I said, nor what Interpol said. The blockchain is NOT vulnerable, on the contrary it's so solid that an abuser can host child abuse images on it indefinetely (and other malicious code). Apart from that, Bitcoin gives ways for abusers to use it over money (fiat) due to it's (supposed) anonymity. Also, criminals should not have ANY worries exploiting the blockchain because..... you know: coin mixers -> one time use address -> crime done and there forever..... If that address is never to be used again then there is no chance they can track them. Now, can you please stop being so "smart" and defensive about Bitcoin and pay attention to the details? Or are you too busy playing bullshit ARG games (or covering up for the con artist) that you do not read between the lines? |

I think you guys are very sentimental about the subject. Interpol is right : http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/03/27/bitcoin-blockchain-pollution-a-criminal-opportunity/it could be abused to store malware control mechanisms or provide access to illicit content such as child abuse images that would be extremely difficult to take down.
And when that happens (coz it will) kiss your Bitcoins goodbye. Oh, and don't say how are they going to do it. If they make any kind of purchase/exchange with BTC illegal and fine it with lifetime in jail, no business or exchange will take your Bitcoins. Then you will have to turn to a black market but we have all seen how they all fell like flies haven't we? Once again, stop being so sentimental and pay attention to the details. Interpol is trying to protect (your) children from abuse, and that is just one example of what the blockchain is capable of. |

And what makes anyone believe that Bitcoin is not an NSA project or any other 3 letter agency project?
Because Satoshi said so?
