Additionally, the MtGox support constantly searches "MtGox" on the bitcointalk.org forums as well.
That, plus for non-basic issues, people like me directly contact someone at MtGox. (I just emailed Adam) |

blockchain.info can make use of a MtGox yubikey, so i guess?
I'm honestly confused about how they do that. |

He should have said banks then. He specifically said Dwolla. If he does not know the difference between the two...
Mark isn't that great at English. If you want to speak with someone there who can be as specific as you apparently require, talk to Adam. |

The IPs are now all banned from registration, of course.
Not the smartest idea to block the entire University of Washington's student body from registering... Ideally, someone can pursue legal action against this guy so that the block can be removed ASAP. |

I'm shocked that nobody has brought legal action against Eric Jeffrey Tang, yet...

As per... As I said earlier, as long as the IBB is pretty much the only game in town, this will remain stickied. When that changes, this will either be unstickied or the other group's post will be stickied. I haven't quite decided which way to do it yet.
...I am stickying this topic. |

Moreover, there is evidence that it may have done with stolen funds, which may be why he was complaining about not getting the refund - because he didn't own the credit card that it was refunded to.
Additional evidence I just received all but confirms this.If you insist on beating this dead horse, may I politely insist on seeing this evidence? Unless it is personal/sensitive of course.  Some of it is sensitive. However, I can summarize those parts:
First, dark_science had sent this message to shakaru back when this thread was created:I can supply all VPN/Socks5 you need, setup 24/36 hours.
VPN $12 Russia Bulletproof $15 Ukraine DDoS protected Bullet proof, spamproof AU: $20 Very Expensive for anonymous, must be careful in AU
Socks5 with Reverse Squid Proxy / Reverse DNS: $ 3.50 daily
You need for carding/hacking extra $
Also I see you have big drama in thread electronic goods, if you still have my partner will buy. What kind you sell?

As for the other piece of evidence, I was contacted by a reputable member here with information that astana was attempting to launder the refund once he got it. |

New evidence has come to light that astana was specifically trying to defraud shakaru. Moreover, there is evidence that it may have done with stolen funds, which may be why he was complaining about not getting the refund - because he didn't own the credit card that it was refunded to.
While this is mostly speculation, the facts suggest that this is a likely explanation.

Ah, my bad. Great to hear this has already been implemented! In which version has this been implemented?
0.3.21, but it was never mentioned in the release announcement, which is why few people know about it. |

i think whitelisting should be more strict, why don't you people do like on bitmarket.eu? they ask credentials from ebay, bitcoin-otc, etc
Because this is first-and-foremost a discussion board, not a trading hub. |

I am not the kind of person who will risk his reputation lightly (I have never done this before for anyone) but I would say Giga is one of the 1% you can really trust. I have dealt with him in the past and he has be very honest, quick and shocking out for my own best interest.
This. If I hadn't already depleted myself on another loan, I would have sent much, much more. |

Do I have any alternative? Like, say, don't download the blockchain from the deadslow P2P network, but from some "trusted" place like blockexplorer?
Electrum is what you're looking for, then: http://ecdsa.org/electrum/ |

I think that most people can't even fathom just how worthless bitcoins were, and how little infrastructure there was back then. Heck, even when I came in here in March, I remember that, to buy bitcoins, my choices were mailing cash to some shady guy in Canada, or buying them on MtGox using some other shady currency that is backed by some company in Costa Rica. Not too long before that, none of this existed. Quite literally, for at least several months, the only bitcoin infrastructure that existed was... this forum. Bitcoins were completely worthless. People were happy to exchange weeks of CPU time to get a "free" pizza. To this point, I think the analogy to collecting comic books is completely accurate. Much like how many now extremely valuable comic books were just thrown away after they were read (or sold in garage sales or to friends for pennies), the same is true for bitcoin. Most likely, a good portion of the bitcoins were just simply deleted without a second thought. Individuals were wiping out thousands of coins each. Miners have come back to bitcoin after over a year to find out that their old harddrive that they were smart enough to archive somewhere is now worth tens of thousands of dollars. If they weren't such a pack-rat, they would have erased the bitcoins. It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out the the only remaining spendable bitcoins from that era are in the hands of less than ten people. Only three of them likely stored them on purpose, and are actively following Bitcoin. And one of those people won't spend them until he is ready to reveal his identity to the world and retire on a private island, which, personally, I think he completely deserves.

Given that it is impossible to unsubscribe can we lock this thread. Please. It is like a car accident ... in your front lawn ... everyday.  Fine, fine. Given the consensus here, and the state that it has devolved to, I'll lock the thread. If you feel the need to post something, PM me. But, at this point, it might just be better to make a new thread. |

Since Atlas's departure, is there anyone that whitelists the n00bs?
Yeah, but it's mostly just me, now. |

Blue.Mitzi is Astana. He needs to be Banned.
Yup. This account was banned 8 hours ago for ban evasion. Because he has been caught evading a ban, he will now be banned on sight. Contact a moderator if you see him in the future. |

Yes, we have them. The "missing" posts are on the staff board. Don't worry, they're nothing special. Just stuff related to the forum. For example, 16 of those missing posts were just blank test posts.

Guys, go easy with the shouting.
Paypal never keeps funds for them, funds have to go one of the ways, or to the original recipient or to the original sender if it was reversed.
In case where the account is frozen, and notice I said account, not funds, all funds on the account will be held 180 days until paypal writes a check with those funds and mails it to the address that is on the frozen account.
So, Shakaru, is the money astana sent you on your side or is it on his astana's side and his account is frozen?
Maged, you better check this and do the right thing.
Do you want to check it? Honestly, now that astana has officially threatened to sue me, I could care less what happens at this point. If you know what a credit card chargeback is supposed to look like on both sides with a PayPal account, that'd be nice to know. I haven't been unlucky enough to experience it, myself. |
