You missed a category.
EU citizens who have been illegally given the vote in the Parliamentary election.
According to the Electoral Commission you must - be 18 years of age or over on polling day
- be a British citizen, a qualifying Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland
- not be subject to any legal incapacity to vote
I can't say if that's accurate, but I changed it to participating and not participating. My friend reported the mistake to the Electoral Commission and they haven't acknowledged receipt of his email complaint. UK is getting more like a banana republic with every day. |

There are at least two city councils that have issued poll cards like that, I have seen one of those cards and my friend's wife in another city has one.
Welcome to No. 10 Ed.

Not enough people have questioned the very poor quality images and videos that were force fed to the world at the beginning of this saga. Debunk those images such as the Paris Match "photos" and there is no case against Russia or separatists but what is even more worrying is that if those images and videos are proved fake then due to the rapid timeframe of them appearing that begs the question of were they prepared in advance of a premeditated attack on a civilian airliner? For instance Paris Match announced their journalists were on hand to capture the photograph of the BUK on it's way from Donetsk. In my opinion the Paris Match photos are video grabs from a dash cam , probably of the Volvo pulling a digger or some other machine and then the BUK was badly photoshopped on hence the weird angle of the BUK, it appears to be perched up on it's front wheels whilst the tractor unit is flat to the road. https://i.imgur.com/bmojw2f.jpgThe video that grab was taken from appears to be the same size and aspect ratio that would fit with Paris Match photos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHj4nltPf5U |

Does anyone think the US will allow any open Bitcoin transactions when this happens? When the US dollar crashes. "the US will be prepared ahead of time with a new, electronic currency. This will serve three purposes: It will allow the US government to blame paper currencies for the crash, in order to distract the public from recognising that the government itself is the culprit. It will allow the US government to create a currency system that disallows the holding of tradable currency by the population—that is, a debit card would be created by banks through which all transactions must pass, assuring that all transactions are processed by (and thereby subject to the control of) a bank. It will allow the US government to have knowledge of every penny earned and spent by any individual or organization, allowing for direct-debit income taxation." http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-25/what-will-happen-you-when-dollar-collapses |

France is about to start waging all out war on cash transactions which will, if there are no riots, no doubt be followed by the rest of the West. "Fighting The "War on Terror" By Banning Cash" "It was just a matter of time before Western governments used the trumped up "War on Terror" as an excuse to drastically ratchet up the very real war on the use of cash and personal privacy that they are waging against their own citizens. Taking advantage of public anxiety in the wake of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket, France has taken the first step. It seems the terrorists involved partially financed these attacks by cash, as well as by consumer loans and the sale of counterfeit goods. What a shockeroo!" Full article here, http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-23/fighting-war-terror-banning-cashSpread the word people. |

I have known these facts for some time and was waiting for more concrete facts before posting but due to the resurgence of "who is/I found Satoshi" threads decided to start this thread. There were two people registered under the public name of Satoshi Nakamoto, the original was nakamoto2 Joined: 2008-10-05 User ID: 2238460 http://web.archive.org/web/20091130163943/http://sourceforge.net/users/nakamoto2 (cached page from Nov 30 2009) Then 2 months later s_nakamoto with the same public name of Satoshi Nakamoto joined Joined: 2008-12-10 User ID: 2321442 http://web.archive.org/web/20091129020634/http://sourceforge.net/users/s_nakamoto (cached page from Nov 29 2009) nakamoto2 registered the project with sourceforge 2008-11-09 18:58 http://web.archive.org/web/20090106201347/http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/Why would Satoshi register himself and add himself to the project twice with the same name unless of course he wanted to create the illusion that more than one person was a single entity. http://web.archive.org/web/20090106201347/http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/#item3rd-6 (cached page from Jan 06 2009) s_nakamoto added hal to the Bitcoin project, 4 weeks ago nakamoto2 added s_nakamoto to the Bitcoin project, 4 weeks ago nakamoto2 added the bitcoin.pdf file, 1 month ago nakamoto2 registered the Bitcoin project, 2 months ago So who was/is satoshi nakamoto? My original thoughts were Hal Finney but as can be seen from the cached pages he wasn't brought on board till 2 months after, I have my suspicions but need more proof as my search results into the other suspect don't seem to make sense time-wise, I think Hal and my other suspect thought they were working with a genuine idealist. My guess is there is some government involvement as I have stated before, probably UK with some collusion with the USA (alterations to DNS records and cached pages). The search continues. |

Satoshi is not Shinichi Mochizuki. Why, you may ask? Simply because Satoshi wrote his bitcoin white paper in British English, not American English. Theater = American. Theatre= British. Functorially=American. Functorialy=British. color=American. colour=British. If you are looking for someone with an Asian heritage to be the real identity of Satoshi, you may want to atleast look into a British based English language education of the suspect. 'Princeton' is not British. End of discussion  Well said, I thought this when I looked it up almost A WEEK AGO. This Ted Nelson guy uploaded this theory on the 17th yet I found this on the 11th http://ownlifeful.blogspot.sk/2013/05/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto.htmland came to the same conclusion as Franky. |

http://pandodaily.com/2013/05/14/dept-of-homeland-security-freezes-accounts-between-dwolla-and-bitcoin-exchange-mt-gox/The plaintiff, which is backed by Tim Draper, Geoff Entress, Peter Vessenes, and others, claims that Mt. Gox breached this agreement by dealing with North American customers directly and failing to share data as stipulated under this agreement.
Same Tim Draper aka Timothy C. Draper (?): http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/1531California's Proposition 38 was a particularly nasty piece of legislation sponsored by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper. Draper, a loose cannon Republican with his eyes on the governorship, spent $23 million of his own money on the effort, which if successful would have gutted the public system, drawing funding away from neighborhood schools and expanding the trend toward a two-tier education system that favors rich families over poor.
Not sure about the rest of you, but if it's the same person involved in both these cases (Tim Draper), I would be very surprised if he has any other goal at all than enrichment for his own company and person. I haven't dug deep into it, but from the looks of it, the attempt at making that legislation doesn't go well with wanting the best for 'the community at large', so personally if I knew that, i wouldn't take his money at all. As the saying goes, adults seldom change their ways.. Edit: Why did I put this here? Given the above has merit, it seems like Vessenes has done little research into his partners before accepting to take their money. It seems very strange to claim. Vessenes writes: http://coinlab.com/status (Click on the May 2nd update) Bitcoiners have, on average, lost more money due to technology difficulties, frozen / lost banking relationships and shady characters like pirateat40 than due to any part of Bitcoin's fundamental economics. I hate this fact, passionately. I have a vision in which high quality service and technology and ethics can be delivered to you, me, my kids, everyone who has a stake in Bitcoin. He mentions his kids here, yet he takes on cooperation with a man seeking to make education much harder to get for kids from poor families. Given these facts are correct, Vessenes is either malicious, incompetent or very naive, I don't know which it would be, perhaps a combination ? Indeed it is the same Timothy C. Draper. From Forbes: "In the first official venture capital raise for a direct investment in bitcoin, CoinLab secured $500,000 today from seed stage Silicon Valley firm Draper Associates and others, including Seattle angel investor Geoff Entress, former assistant treasurer at Microsoft Jack Jolley, and familiar bitcoin investor Roger Ver. Draper Associates also known as Draper Fisher Jurvetson. http://www.drapervc.com/team/ (see tab header "Draper Associates") http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Timothy_C._DraperThe microsoft connection is also interesting as (from wikipedia) "Draper invested in and contributed to the development of", among other things Hotmail. |

Not strictly a pay-wall but a "register wall" ...
I think they are thinking "well if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"..
I just hope they don't enforce the white listing of bitcoin addresses though ( ie transactions must be to another registered address only or it will be classed as potentially fraudulent).
And what if they do? People will just use other exchanges. In recent weeks businesses using bitcoin in the US and Canada have had their bank accounts shut down, pointing to nervousness by the banks about the rise of the digital currency. No shit. Re. white-listing, I think it could be far more serious for Bitcoin. From the "Do we want to work with money regulators, or keep Bitcoin unregulated?" thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192924.msg2002839#msg2002839Bitcoin will remain unregulated. It doesnt matter if people in the community want it regulated or if government(s) want it regulated. Bitcoin, by nature, is unregulated. They cannot seize your btc unless under duress, etc. You are your own bank.
Until the devs fork it and say: "Here is the regulated Bitcoin 2.0 which will be worth 10000USD because of big company involvement, if you don't want use it then use the unregulated Bitcoin 1.0 for illegal activities which will be worth about 2USD."Looking at the majority of people involved in Bitcoin i'd place my money on that everybody would go for 2.0. Of course, the Bitcoin Foundation together with other large companies (paypal, banks etc), will make a plan to slowly manipulate us into believing that a regulated Bitcoin will be much better for everyone. If you ask me, it has already begun. As I have said before, I believe that Bitcoin was started not just by an idealist with an honorable vision but by government Us/UK or both, hopelessly in debt and at the mercy of corrupt financial institutions. Bitcoin or a variant of, if regulated would help government get back on track financially, indeed if all those untouched early mined coins were held by govt. they have a substantial reserve as the price rises. |

I disagree. You would only need a "Bitcoin safe" if you know and at least sort of understand what Bitcoins are.
Not really, all you have to have to know is that they were valuable. To rich people - valuable things are stored in shiny vaults with lasers in a country where the government and bank have an understanding. They are anticipating future demand of a such a service, and rightfully so. To make Bitcoins mainstream, you'd have to get lots of people using Bitcoins to buy and sell goods/services, only then will these Bitcoin safes make sense to the general population.
Again - they are anticipating the future value of BTC. They are betting that Bitcoin will become widely used, a very good sign. I really am surprised at all the negativity here. The fact that there is even "unconfirmed" evidence of a high security Bitcoin vault, a 300k+ per second trade engine, and a Bitcoin exchange haven in South America with support from the local government, all to be operational in the next couple months is extremely "bullish" news at the least. Wonderful, and all supplied by a company that doesn't show any real address and doesn't appear to be registered anywhere. I'm sure the millionaires will be queuing up to hand over their cash and Bitcoins, well me, I'll trust my 20 btc is safe on my 3 pen-drives. |

We may never know who Satoshi is(and do we really want to know?), but I think it's starting to be clear where Bitcoin was invented: University of Dublin Trinity College
This may well be very close to the mark. As well as all the other posts relating to Dani Nagy and the cryptography conventions around that time and the people who attended them etc. Including the post above it on Michael and Donal's paper: http://www.w3.org/Conferences/WWW4/Papers/228/Please also read my forum post on HAR 2009 and a talk given by Roger of the Tor Project. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=191362.0Anyway, I started to look for related talks and conventions of the time that were given or attended by such developers... See: https://financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/cat_conference.htmlFebruary 14, 2008 FC2008 -- report by Dani Nagy Who's the fellow on the panel next to Nagy? Half asleep because he's way ahead of all of them and dreaming about 'bitcoins'? jet lagged and on his way to Helsinki from the last company meeting, cryptography talk or hacking convention? I'm just guessing... See: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2011/10/race-unmask-bitcoins-inventors/43535/They all advised major companies on cryptography and open source... SAmsung TOSHIba NAKaminchi Apple MOTOrola as often speculated and joked about. One things for sure. Bitcoin was created from the ideas of all of these individuals and many others before them, already mentioned elsewhere. Their is an entire history to 'e-cash' and lots of individuals, companies and governments that are involved in some way or another. Even Bill Gates once talked about 'crypto mining' and computer time as a commodity / resource. OK. Might be a few unknowns here, but I'm starting to see an anagram / cryptographic puzzle in some of these folks (or associates) names ? They all certainly have the right credentials, knowledge and experience. They also work for google or have worked for google research. Just why do most of the current bitcoin project developers use gmail ? Do they need to keep it 'in-house' or something ?  Moti Yung - http://research.google.com/pubs/author3060.htmlResearch Area(s) Security, Cryptography, and Privacy http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~moti/ Cryptography, Security, Networks and Distributed Systems, Theory of Computation: Computational Complexity, Randomization, Algorithms. Applications: Secure Systems/ Financial/ E-commerce/ Banking/ Secure Web. Yossi Matias - http://research.google.com/pubs/YossiMatias.htmlResearch Area(s) Economics and Electronic Commerce, Algorithms and Theory, Data Mining, Security, Cryptography, and Privacy, others Erm... I think you may be close to the mark with the Google connection, certainly Satoshi was not an individual. I personally think there is an element of government involvement, probably UK/US or both jointly, Google doesn't get tax breaks for nothing and I have seen some strange results in search requests, luckily Google taught me there are other avenues for internet research. |

May I ask how you came across this site? And still it stops in 2010. I'm tellin you he's dead. Fish food. Pushin up daisys. The site doesn't stop in 2010, but didn't you notice something rather strange with that link? No, it's in Japanese. I couldn't read most of it. What does it say? I use Chrome, it automatically translates, go to http://ci.nii.ac.jp/author?q=NAKAMOTO++Satoshi Change search to "satoshi nakamoto" (without quotes) produces 9 results Enter this into Google, including quotation marks "satoshi nakamoto" site:.jp (results from japanese pages) I got About 3,190 results Now hit search tools button then "any time" button, click "custom range" and enter 2008 in the "to" parameter, leave "from" blank (anytime) and hit enter. Produces 2 results, of these only 1 is actually "satoshi nakamoto" which is this https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDwQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eng.kobe-u.ac.jp%2Farchive%2Freport%2F2004%2FAnnualReport2004_3-2.html&ei=tFmRUdbbEqTX4ATzuYBo&usg=AFQjCNE1gi4AUcA8gp62j5iJu66hEfq0yg&sig2=ZYFrKByO4Zud_GvZhhfX9w&bvm=bv.46340616,d.bGEand that Satoshi is a concrete expert. |

So you're ready to put your money into a company that doesn't have a real address and isn't registered anywhere because they have a "good website".

Interesting that Bartlett is in that postcode so I guess it's Steve Morell/Sven Tilburg or is it Russell doing a bit of moonlighting from the office?
BtcGlobal is quite a jump up from Snappy Computers lol.
It's Morell AND Bennet. http://btcglobal.net/info/teamSo I see, they seem to have a huge online presence in various guises. |

BTC Global North America, LLC.
38134 Memphis, TN
United States How many businesses use just a postcode as a business address. Interesting that Bartlett is in that postcode so I guess it's Steve Morell/Sven Tilburg or is it Russell doing a bit of moonlighting from the office? Oh, did they delete the street adress by now? Yeah, I can imagine everyone looking up your hut in the desert would be kinda creepy. Maybe that's what the so called high security safe is. The shack in the desert.
