comedy moment
a guy named "question authority" says "dont try to understand it" ..........
sorry dude, not a personal attack, just found it funny
I see what you mean, but then again, in Black's Law Dictionary, to "understand" is to "agree". |

It's funny that every member of Bitinstant ended up being a criminal. "Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -Eugene V. Debs Debs was sentenced on November 18, 1918, to ten years in prison. He was also disenfranchised for life. Debs presented what has been called his best-remembered statement at his sentencing hearing. What do the selfish capitalist cowards of the world have to say in response to that, I wonder?I can't say that I know a whole lot about Debs, but he probably wouldn't have referred to people with whom he disagreed in the manner that you just did. I thought that leftists were all about tolerance. |

from reddit: They also removed the section in the license that required you to reference TrueCrypt if you branched or used it. Basically they are opening the door for a fork. The license change, the US comment change, the removal of hidden partitions, insecure errors that get thrown and telling users to use insecure software instead. They are screaming loudly to fork it due to an NSL. |

7.2 was just recently added in the wake of all this so that users could decrypt, but not encrypt files.
I would stay the hell away from it though.
If you didn't download 7.2 within the past day or so, then you don't have it.
7.1a has been around since before the Snowden leaks went public.

Strange that development just ended due to support for XP ending. The explanation is dubious as it ignores the fact that people would want to use TrueCrypt on Linux, OSX, and later versions of Windows. I wonder if a three letter agency coerced the development team into integrating backdoors and rather than do that they just ended development?
This seems like an NSA letter to me.... not unlike what happened with Lavabit. |

WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues
This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.

I assume this factors in the fact that many people are trying to get vanity addresses? how fast can these generators generate new addys?
It doesn't matter. It isn't a concern. Many people seem to have a very difficult time comprehending just how big the numbers we are dealing with are. In their defense, the human brain itself is not particularly good with grokking such large numbers. |

My personal hypothesis: By 3rd/4th quarter of this year we will see ETF's, options, leveraging, etc come into the market. Once this occurs major Wall Street firms will start trading. This will create volume at levels never seen before and drive the price far, far higher. They'll trade paper bitcoins that they can't back with real ones, and keep the exchange rate artificially low just like they do with gold. Thanks justusranvier, you saved me a post. (of course, I used that post here, thanking you, but still.... I had the exact same thought) |

All capitalist enterprises are pyramid schemes, and all corporations are state-sponsored. In my country (USA), the business elite and the political elite are the SAME PEOPLE.
I have noticed there is alot of misunderstanding in the definition of the word capitalism when Anarcho-Caps speak with Anarcho-Communists. Anarcho-Communists typically rail against chrony-capatalism, kleptocracy, and Fascism. This is what Anarcho-caps are against as well. We don't support corporations as they exist in the marketplace today because of their unfair legal protections granted by the state. What I don't understand is how you can be a Bitcoin supporter and against pure Capitalism as commonly defined? "Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industry, and the means of production are controlled by private owners with the goal of making profits in a market economy." Bitcoins are assets that are privately owned and traded freely in a market economy. The Bitcoin framework is deigned where systems, states, and communities cannot easily interfere with the free distribution of these assets as wages or property. There are no restrictions of individuals accumulating these assets either as profit in the Bitcoin architecture. If you are against wages and private ownership of property aren't you advocating for a much different cryto-currency that restricts the private ownership and control of these assets? Possibly, one that equally distributes x-tokens equally and restricts unequal accumulation of those crypto-tokens? You aren't the only one! |

You can't snort coke with a rolled up bitcoin.
Unless it was a paper wallet. Then you could.

A duck walks in the TBF office totin' a dance pole.
The secretary asked, "May I help you?"
The duck replied, "Quack!"
The secretary said, "The hot tub is on the third floor. The boys have been waiting for you."
Next, Bruce Wagner walks up to the same secretary. Before he even speaks, the secretary screams, "What the hell are you doing here, fuckin' pervert?"
Bruce Wagner smiles, then replies, "I'm the one who dropped off the duck with Ed's pole."
LOL Bruce Wagner! If Brock Pierce is acceptable, then surely so is Bruce Wagner! Drag him out of Pattaya and throw him loudly back into the Bitcoinsphere! Brock and Bruce should start their own show. They could call it "Brock and Bruce's World". |

not sure if anyone realises it but Beaugas is taking a page out of trendon shavers book
trendon: pirate (a word for a old boat sailor known for stealing)
Beaugas = bogus (a word meaning fake/lie)
I think "Beaugas" is more like "Beau" for the guy's name, Beauregard ("Beautiful look" in French), and "gas" because he is, according to himself an "Anesthesiologist, Epic Anesthesia Physician Builder". So, while I appreciate your reading between the lines, my 2 second detective work yielded different results. |

Featuring an experimental identity system, and lots of improvements both on the frontend (browser plugin) and backend (gateway, obelisk and libbitcoin), we present Alpha 3: https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha3 <-- Detailed release notes https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/releases/tag/0.3.0https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/archive/0.3.0.zipThis is a major milestone since we're introducing our new identity system where now you can keep long term contacts and find them later in the crypto goo that is the stratum for our conversations, subject to change but valid for our current goals. Also big improvements in parsing stealth since that's now going to a background thread, and the gateway got some bug fixed that was making things very slow should now be snappy also using our block explorer will be a new experience Smiley. Best Regards!! I noticed in another thread that there was a newer version, so I will quote the post here: Featuring an experimental identity system, and lots of improvements both on the frontend (browser plugin) and backend (gateway, obelisk and libbitcoin), we present Alpha 3: https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Alpha3 <-- Detailed release notes https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/releases/tag/0.3.1

Somalia is far from anarcho-capitalism, all of the damage to society occurs when a state is acting with absolute power while still under the influence of coercion, deception and violence.
Umm.. the state collapsed in Somalia. The coercion you see there is the result of a power vacuum. The Somali Pirates got their start stopping what would have been illegal dumping if Somalia was still a functioning state. Actually, Xeer, the Somali law system is distinct from the state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeerI seriously recommend that anyone who reads this takes the time to read about Xeer. |

I've looked into the code: nothing has changed to it since October, and it seems to be doing the right thing, although I haven't looked at it in very close detail. It works now, so it should have worked when you generated it. The only thing I can really suggest right now is that you send me the BIP38 encoded address and I will see if I can work out if there is anything wrong with it (which is a small possibility).
Just tell him what it is, telepatheic!  Also, I hope that cbeast recovers his funds, and finds that BIP38 is ok after all. Otherwise, this is pretty bad news. |

Today I opened Bitcoin Core to find a 0.00 BTC balance.
After initially slightly freaking out, I click the Transactions tab, and find that my transactions are there, but the status had changed to "conflicted".
This wallet has been "handed down" through the differing versions of the reference client since 2011.
The transactions are well past "confirmed", so why the "conflicted" status now?

I think I found a bug... when I clicked on a new (unconfirmed) incoming transaction, and clicked "Open Relevant Wallet", the wallet that it opened was not relevant.
