Seconded. I would like an option to download PMs or postings, signed with GnuPG. Because unsigned they would later be worthless as proof. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235794The option to fetch unread posts as XML would also be really helpful. |

If you want them in a browser, you could try using Opera in portable mode.
- it has a login manager: CTRL+F12 -> Forms
- about every site these days has an option like "Keep me logged in"
- don't delete cookies (use the portable Opera just for this)
- define your reloads: right click -> Reload Every
- open all your websites and save the session (Opera -> Tabs and Windows -> Sessions)
When you restart Opera it then should open all the tabs again.

In the past I gave him the benefit of doubt, but I recently followed the deposit address he gave me, just to notice that one of the addresses where the coins went to is still in use and currently holds 1000BTC. Payb.tc/E&G/Not@Las/chowyunfat/Tackleberry/Hightower explained that he did not forward investments from his customers to Pirate, but just made some internal accounting changes regarding his own Pirate investment. Effectively, this not only broke the traceability of the coins, but also serves as an excuse as to why Piratecoins are still moving. At first I entirely blamed Pirate for the loss, but it feels more like a separate scam. Until Pirate defaulted, Payb.tc/E&G/Not@Las/chowyunfat/Tackleberry/Hightower put a lot of effort into his website and forum thread to attract more investors. After the default, he dropped them like hot potatoes, offering no support at all. Because he constantly changes his username it's better to just use the userid: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=258461. He's still active on the board, but refuses to respond to anything BitcoinMax related. There is no explanation or support at all. 2. He broke traceability with his internal accounting. Honestly, how complex was it to just forward the coins? 3. This also makes it impossible to tell if he had as many coins in BS&T as he received. 4. He refused to release investment details to "protect his investors" even to the investors. 5. He still has not paid several withdrawal requests which were made before Pirate defaulted. 6. He keeps changing his name. Why? That's why I would like to see a scammer tag under his name. |

It would be nice to have a little link (maybe next to the report link) which returns the posting/PM (datetime, author, subject, message, signature) in xml (or txt) format, signed with a gnupg key created for the forum. PHP has support for GnuPG so it wouldn't be that complex.
That way you could easily archive important postings or PMs and everybody could verify that they haven't been edited in case you need them again later.

If it would be so trivial/easy then devs would only release a one-fits-all version that install on every Unix/Linux/BSD/Windows. There are too many differences between the distros. On RHEL/Centos you'll first need to add EPEL and then use yum. On Debian systems you could use apt-get. BSD/Solaris/Busybox are different too. Additionally, you need to configure the distro to start nginx after boot automatically and while you're at it, let TCP traffic through the firewall too. Calling home is easy with curl (for which you need to check too and install it if it's missing (what I said about installing nginx applies here too)). You would not need a server_ip parameter (which you would need to get in different ways on the distros) since your server logs the requesting IP. The nginx config isn't the big problem; iirc it's something along those lines: server {
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_pass http://your.server.ip:80;
}
}
Last but not least: You're assuming that each of them runs bash. |

Not to mention that source installs on a distro with a package manager is a recipe for disaster

Or you could do both: insert the data and, if a key exists, update it INSERT INTO db1(num, usd, btc, date) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE usd=VALUES(usd), btc=VALUES(btc), date=VALUES(date) Also, validate your input and don't just insert $_GET/$_POST data without checking it first! |

SMF allows to fetch the most recent postings in XML, but there's a hardcoded limit of 255 results.
With the current amount of traffice on this forum there are easily 30+ pages of unread posts each day, and with 40 results per page that's well over 1200.
It's turning into quite a bit of work to manually open those 30+ pages in the browser and scroll through each page.
I don't mind if the XML gets reduced for less traffic; just the subject, subforum and threadid would be enough.

I think you know that many would offer a percentage of any coins you could retrieve from Trendon/Pirate?

Check if you have a gcc.exe where you installed gcc.
Try "echo %PATH%" to get a list of your current paths for programs; gcc should be in there.
If not, you could try to reinstall gcc (assuming it would add the path) or you do it yourself. I think it's somewhere in computer->properties->advanced->environment
Or you edit the bat file and use the complete path to your gcc.exe in it.

"gcc is not recognized" sounds like gcc isn't in your path. Either add it or try to use the full path.
"b2" further down isn't recognized either.

It's more likely either related to the browsers and/or a proxy in between.

As someone who worked with you before I'd take this chance to jump on the train as an early adopter  |

Or store them as Satoshi. Int on 64bit system should be large enough to handle them.

Not with the official client. Search the forum for coincontrol; it looks liike it could make it into the next release.
Some other clients already have this feature though.

Just wanted to give you guys a warning. Do not deal with user Warry. he is a scammer and he run away with my btc.
Was he the one you wanted a background check on? |

I don't know if you guys realize this, but most of the passthru operators are broke as f***. They were the diehards that got in deep with Trendon and lost the most. The idea that they were "in on the scam" is total BS
Ian would not even confirm how much he has in BST in total in the name of his investors. He doesn't reply to a PM asking for confirmation of your personal account at BMax. He also pointed out that he broke traceability. There is no way to confirm that the sum of coins sent to him equals the sum he has in BST. If you believe in honesty, then yes, maybe the PPT ops are broke. If you don't (and nothing around this whole fiasco made me think otherwise), this would have been a great way to siphon off coins. |

So youre a worshipper of chaos... ok... i cant say that i dont sympathize with it because i think chaos only is something more complete yet harder to understand. Thats one thing... but letting scammers go away only because it was this way all the time sounds strange. He did something wrong and should be rewarded with the proper punishment. I dont see why the police and justice shouldnt work here. I mean if he stole gold, art or some chips im sure every policemen would hunt him down. One should claim he stole "Bitcoins in a worth of x millions". Thats something the police can understand. And they should work on it. Even government agencies in the us are beginning to regulate bitcoins which means they legitimate it. So thinking that it doesnt matter is a strange thinking.
And... what did he do that wasnt there before? That was a classic scam, happened often before. So i dont see any honor that should be given to him only because he managed to adapt the ideas others had before him. I mean would you applaud someone who kills someone with a new super laser weapon only because he did it with a new weapon? Its still a very old crime. Nothing new really.
I think it's somewhat funny that he argues that rapists should be shot in the face, while it's ok to let Trendon off the hook. Maybe rapist victims could learn something too from what happened to them and it's great that the rapist taught them? (Note: I'm joking). I would pay private investigators and so on if i had lost something. But i didnt. So i see no reason to play the police for guys that otherwise dont seem to want their money back. Simply as that. I dont think that i would have invested so much that i would turn illegal ways at all. But i believe there are plenty of legal ways to force someone or make his life hard.
Trendon's personal informations are well known. It's just that nobody took him to court it seems. If you're on the other side of the globe and invested a smaller amount you need to be somewhat realistic. Even if you'd win and he pays you back everything, your expenses would still not be covered. Also, if you invested via a PPT and its operator simply ignores everybody (hello payb.tc) your chances are even worse. Having said that, a lot of the investors would happily share a percentage of any retrieved funds with someone who would take him to court. |
