man, I've been thinking about this all day.
If this was true and if they did have something like that in the client.
all they would have to do is transfer everything they have in small increments a few thousand times, and they would have successfully disappeared their footprints in less than a day.
and I'm pretty sure the worm they were talking about was in office space not hackers.
maybe that's the humor. xD capsizing a tanker boat.
it makes sense now. crazy bastards.

Most everyone that is running anything important is in the channel, so all you have to do is tell them privately there. Then if someone finds something, give them an adequate reward for not being a complete dip shit chicken little.

Consensus on the mailing list seems to be that this guy built a graph analysis tool, using some well known properties to associate addresses.
If that's the case it's kind of far-fetched to call it a security vulnerability. But until someone that was there reveals more, it's only guessing...
something that correlates transactions to nodes, like MagicalTux's proof of concept for mining clients? displays everything on a google map? |

I think I bought weed from that guy once. xD

anyhow, the title of thread states exactly what I intended to state yesterday.
I see a lot of people got burned and I know why,
surprisingly it wasn't actually the bots even though they contributed largely to people's fears.
Wasn't even the panic sellers. In a round about way we could say it was the authoritarians, but we can't hide behind that. One could say it's just greed. xD

HAH. told you. (btw whatever happened to the rest of this thread, I will keep to myself.  be nice. ) It went way off-topic, and thus was deleted in accordance of forum policy. People, we need you to report these things BEFORE they start stretching on for pages. The person who said that they reported a post was lying. Anyway, back to the topic, folks! xD HAHA! Excellent! Precision. I'm seriously sick of seeing that fuck be mean to people all over the forum. I'd strangle his ass IRL just to be able to post a pic of eyeballs popped out of their sockets. I really don't like people who are impolite. |

Someone's unwinding a massive position. Could as well be one of the thieves as Satoshi himself.
WE, at the moment, are trying very hard to be the reason to buy BTC -- basically as a transaction-cost-free way to play online games. The more legitimate casinos like us that start accepting Bitcoin, the stronger the currency will be, because the market for moving money on- and offline for gaming is thousands of times larger than the current pool of Bitcoin users. All this requires a (more) stable exchange rate, and established, not fly-by-night trading houses; because even if you can by porn, gambling and drugs with BTC, it's still not going to be accepted at Walmart next week (except in the used hooker pavilion, behind aisle six).
Ease of trade in and out is part of what's dragging this down right now, but the bigger part is that someone with a vast quantity of this shit is unwinding it in a meticulously planned fashion and taking everyone's money here. Including ours.
SO...COME SUPPORT YOUR LEGITIMATE BTC BUSINESS. We've been running $10 freerolls on the hour for the last six hours and ONLY FIVE PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN UP FOR FREE COINS. We have one more tonight, at Midnight GMT, and that's it. I can't tell you how seriously dismayed the players are that no one even wants free BTC right now, and so few people have shown up to play. Bit bummed about it myself. So stop gambling on f*cking mtgox and come play poker on our website while we're giving away free money dammit!
read the post toward the bottom of the last page. hint* it has a pastebin link. :/ |

hahahaha, I can tell you exactly why and how it's happening.
give me a moment to let me find a thread I started a couple weeks ago.

if that happens, the bot has to make the price lower,
so it can buy more. You have it backwards, you have to make the price higher so you can buy more. If I buy at $10 and then want to buy more, I have to offer more than $10. If there were any way I could buy at $10 or less, I would already have done it. I'm not going to explain it, because it might give an adolescent a useful set of rules. So I am going to agree with what a previous poster stated in that it being "magic". xD |

STFU! just because you are too dumb to make your own bot, it does not mean that other may not make bots.
if you really want to see how many people who care about bots, go make your own exchange, where you make it hard for bots, by writeing random letter from a picture.
you have no right to tell me what to do, and what not to do. i buy from bots when i want to.
I was hoping you would reply. xD |

It's not some form of luddite revolution, it's a very quiet refusal to give these adolescents anymore money.
remove the buys, and set the sells very high.
time for the humans to walk away time for the humans to close the doors.

 Right Now. as soon as you buy, the price will drop. when a person buys, it's a bot selling. if that happens, the bot has to make the price lower, so it can buy more. so right now, buying is always a loss to the buyer. therefore, do not sell to or buy from the bots.  so far, there have been several people who have publicly stated using Bots. You have been been logged and today, you are now targeted. |

Banks originated as goldsmiths who stored people's gold and gave out paper certificates representing the quantity of gold that was stored. This was a valuable service, because storing gold was hard, and paying people with gold was hard. Bitcoins are very different. Storing them is in principle easy, especially if you have a bitcoin-only device as I advocated here, and paying people with them is easy. All of the reasons for putting your gold in the bank are thus irrelevant for bitcoins. Some of them are, some of them aren't. If you don't store your currency in a bank, the opportunity value of the held currency is forever lost. Will you give me 100 bitcoins today if I promise to give you 100 bitcoins next year? Of course not -- even if you 100% trust me, you're still giving up the opportunity value of being able to spend those bitcoins within the next year should you choose to do so. There's no reason you should give that up in exchange for nothing. If you hold your bitcoins, that's exactly what you're doing. I don't understand what you're saying. Your argument seems to imply the exact opposite of your conclusion. You seem to be saying that if you want to be able to use your money at any time, you should let someone else take care of it. But actually, when you do that, you are risking losing access to your money, because they may run off with it, or do something else irresponsible with it and lose it. And you also seem to argue that this is why you shouldn't hold on to your money... because then you can't use it when you want. But exactly the opposite of this is true. It is only when you have it that you can use it when you want. The opportunity value is decreased, not increased, by storing money in a bank. no no, what he said is that having your money in the bank gives you so much more opportunity. the part when he said opportunity value, he means you get the full extent of what it can do by being able to use it at many more places. for instance, you can't buy a videocard from newegg if the cash is in a safe in your house or even sitting in your pocket. It's the same idea if your bitcoins only exist on a computer that is turned off, there is zero opportunity to actually use them. It really was a very insightful thought he shared. |

heheh shit, I should have asked how to do this. xD I figure it's something like: #!/bin/bash

but now I'm stuck, something tells me I need to put my sessionid in the script also. i don't really know what I'm doing though. xD |

Valuable insight too, I enjoyed reading your post. |

OP, I'm glad you brought this to our attention. Means we can get free or cheap penetration testing.  just post your URL in the forum or your sig, and state there is a wallet with 0.1BTC in it, if you can get it, it's yours! I wouldn't lie about it though, they will be sneaky bastards. could even set up a site directory with bounties in BTC. It's like an anti-sec dream, super cheap pen testing, thwarting the expensive job seeking vanity driven hats. creation and destruction. May as well make the destroyers skwirm. xD |
