We can 'easily' track stolen coins thru the blockchain, they have been trying hard to split up the money many times.
MtGox could know which coins are stolen but i doubt they would block any exchange with them, after all they profit from the exchange.
Many of the coins are still accounted for in large numbers (at least yesterday)
How do you know the coins were really robbed? I actually believe that they were robbed but how can you be sure so as to try to organize a blockade on somones money? Because i was one of the people that got robbed... |

where is the win32 zipped version?
Just open the exe with your favorite archiver |

FreeNet could be utilized for the first (if im not mistaking the first beta of FreeTalk has been released already)
As for the exchange, since it's more interactive I2P with multi-homing would be a solution.

Let's not panic over this, MtGox is informed and probably looking into it.
Most likely just something stupid i got on my machines...

NO_SLAVE
As i stated before i don't know how this happened, i have the feeling one of my machines is compromised. Since i haven't seen any other people complain about their mtgox accounts getting hacked i assume it was something at my end.
Then again i wonder why he got my MtGox account and not the wallet on my pc really...
I talked shortly to MagicalTux and submitted an email, he had to leave and no reply to the email yet.
I'll update whenever i know more.
Both, mine and allinvain's bitcoins have been sent to that particular address, so im assuming it's the same person or group that's doing this...
I'm working on backing up all my important data and reinstalling all pc's and flashing my phone... gonna be a shitload of work -.-

allinvain, you're not the only one.
Same hacker got to my mtgox account, he converted the USD i had to bitcoins and transfered them to the same address.
I'm not sure how he got in, if my pc is compromised or how this happened, i've been scanning and analyzing my pc for the past hours but nothing indicates a virus or whatever...

I thought of securing my wallet for a while and came up with the following
- Think of a strong password you can memorize. We call it PassA
- Generate a long random password. I call it PassB
- Create a small truecrypt container that holds the wallet(s) i want to backup/store. The password used on this volume would be made up of both PassA+PassB or PassB+PassA or just pick a place where to insert PassA into the string of PassB (do remember that position though!)
Now split up PassB using Shamir's sharing scheme. Hold a few shares yourself so you don't need many to recover PassB
Give some shares to your friends, family, colleagues, etc.
I thought of using gpg for the wallet but the issue of having the wallet file on disk temporary bugged me, recovery is easy.
I can just point a portable bitcoin version to the truecrypt volume to access the wallet file.
That's the reason i picked TC over GPG. I do agree that GPG is in general the better one though.
Anyone sees a better way to do this using GPG?

One that doesn't like bitcoin doesn't have to be a troll, he or she can discuss with us perfectly well.
Those people should not be banned, we're all entitled to our opinion.
(no, trolling is not an opinion or valuable discussion...)

Maybe it's a good idea to assign some trusted people moderator status?
This forum is becoming troll heaven...

On youtube the anti-bitcoin community seems to be 'big' and consisting mostly of silver-enthusiasts indeed...

Thats okay, the more spread out these huge lumps of bitcoins are, the more stable the economy becomes.

tor is a bad idea to built the bitcoin network upon, it's created to provide anonymous internet access and to some extent hidden centralized services.
I2P on the other hand is created specifically for internal networking and P2P traffic actually helps the network.

Don't you guys know the bitcoin ponzi scheme is collapsing right now??
I sold my coins for 10 dollars before it was too late!
no but seriously... i think 50 is on the high end, im guessing next difficulty will only push it to about silver 35-40 USD
|

|

We can't just reinstate the 50 BTC per new block, the blocks would be refused by the network.
I don't see the problem of coins getting lost, the others will just be worth more, i think 2,1*10¹⁵ unit's is enough for everybody.
