If you have time to examine the anti-phishing bar to make sure your last login date is correct, why wouldn't you have the time to check your address bar? Surely it would be easier to check an url than to remember when you last logged in.

The other day I bought 150 LTC on btc-e to make a purchase... It says clearly on their site that they have instant deposit/withdrawl for all coins.
I try to pull my LTC out and it says I must wait 3 days.
So why not just wait 3 days?
1904  Economy / Economics / Re: We should all be mining! on: June 29, 2013, 04:48:29 PM
Never break even? They currently make about .01 btc per day at a mining pool. That is a dollar a day at today's price. In 100 days you would have made your money back. NOT TO MENTION the possibility that the price of Bitcoin might actually go up in the future?! Huh What if .01 becomes $100 then you will make WELL over your money back.
Do you even into logic? if an ASIC costs 1 BTC now, and won't make ROI, how would a price rise make a difference? Wouldn't you be better off buying 1 BTC rather than the ASIC?

ASICMINER has built a USB mining device called "USB Block Eruptor", I guess that is as close as you will get soon to "mining for everyone" - you can buy them here:

Wow, 1 BTC, that's expensive...
plus you'll never break even

Hey,

I don't know if you finally got it or not, but I just found out Sublime released public beta for version 3 today, and it's free !

http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-public-beta

Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use.

Nope, because they would be purchased at the time of exchange. Buyer gets "working" keys, transfers bitcoins. 2 weeks later, keys revoked.

Care to explain why it takes whole 2 weeks? Anyone would notice fraud charges on their credit card soon enough and I don't think it would take Amazon anything more than 2 hours to report keys fraudental.
Buying things with stolen credit card is not that easy either. It has to be never used with any other account on Amazon and you have to register it with IP of location that's on billing address of CC. There are much much more checks to stop fraud charges but those are just few.
That's not the point. The point is that there were previous cases of keys being bought with fraudulent credit cards. Buyers lost money and had no recourse. Therefore, buying discounted keys is not safe. There's nothing preventing the seller from yanking back the keys and leaving the buyer with nothing. If the seller had a long history of trades, this would be less risky. As it stands now, it's a 3 month old member selling $60 keys for $16.

Feel the chord. If its incredibly hot its not working.
incredibly hot =  wire too thin, but working.

These keys are totally legit and not bought with stolen CC or anything.
LOL. You have to be really naive to think that's anywhere near convincing. It's like a scammer saying "I totally won't scam you".

They surely would have been revoked by now if they were stolen, don't you think?

Well since the keys aren't registered in any database, they simply are generated with a certain algorythm, so unless they are redeemed, so nobody will notice.
No, that was back in early 2000. Keys now are secured by a simple checksum, but needs authentication with a server (steam, secuROM, origin, etc.) to activate. Plus online features need authentication with a backend anyways.

If you were selling verified youtube accounts, $2/acct would be reasonable.

Because these could be bought with stolen credit cards. There was a incident a few months ago where keys for an indie game was sold at below retail. A couple weeks after the game was released, fans complained their keys were revoked. Turned out those keys were purchased using stolen credit cards, and the card issuer initiated chargebacks. Everybody who bought those stolen keys lost their money.

You're not helping your reputation here. As a seller, you want to provide as much assurance to your customer that your goods are legit. This is especially true with bitcoins, because there's no paypal buyer protection.

LOIC won't do much damage and it's a skiddy tool, won't help you in the long run. Hire someone to do it for you or you can set up your own means to take down a website.
the site acts as a proxy to bitcointalk.org. if it makes too many requests, it will get banned.

edit:

working as intended
1916  Other / Meta / Re: PSA: phishing site? bitcoin-talk.org != bitcointalk.org on: June 27, 2013, 10:01:59 PM
also, get yourself a copy of LOIC and attack this address:
http://bitcoin-talk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=85687.0

the address is specifically chosen to generate the most load. the idea is to soak up the site's bandwidth, or get it banned from the real bitcointalk server.

Playing merry hell with my client. Well, the debug log anyway.
Please elaborate. Also, update to 0.8.3 because it fixes DOS vulnerability on low memory systems.
