I feel like we should take down his gambling sites like probiwon off the wiki
Yes. In fact, could you please list all of his sites --- and sites he is affiliated with in any way. Please post them here, and please email that list to me. I want to make certain that all of those sites are banned from the Directory I am in the process of creating. |

I have nothing to do with it.
You are a liar. You already admitted that you are behind the DDoS attack. And by the way, LEARN ENGLISH. This is the English language section. No one can understand anything you say. Better yet, just go away. No one CARES about anything you have to say. You have successfully DESTROYED your own reputation in the Bitcoin world. |

NOT! IT IS NOT I AM! YOU SEE IT?!
LEARN ENGLISH! |

What we need to do... is make absolutely CERTAIN that every newbie KNOWS that they cannot use sites like BTC-asswipe.com because he is a criminal who cannot be trusted. For example, in my upcoming "Bitcoin for Dummies"-type site I am working on, I will definitely include a section of the Master Directory called, "Known Scams & Fraud Sites to Avoid" ...and be sure to list his sites there... so the entire Bitcoin Community knows to stay away from ever doing business with him. It's VERY important to spread the word about scammers like him.... who give all of Bitcoin a bad name... And, in fact, give all RUSSIANS a bad name. Once again I say, if I were Russian, I would be be so ashamed and embarrassed to admit that this evil asswipe with the intelligence of a pea is a fellow countryman of mine. Just Tweeted to 12,000+ Followers: Criminal Owner of Russian Bitcoin Exchange site, BTCex Admits to orchestrating DDos Attack on Number One Bitcoin Exchange, http://MtGox.com |

How do I stain my name?
You are a total freaking idiot and moron. Learn how to use Google Translate. Your English is almost as bad as your logic. You are simply an idiot. If I believed in banning people from anything.... I would start with asswipes like you. |

@bitcoinex What does this mean? Are you behind the DDoS attack on MtGox? |
|
|
|
Bitcoin -> "btcex.com" -> WM(R|Z) -> "WebMoneyTransfer" -> Bank Transfer
OBVIOUSLY.... No one I know will have anything to do with btcex.com any more. Everyone I know is boycotting it and spreading the word about it's ill intentions, statements, and actions attacking the Bitcoin Community. |

The Silver Lining in the Cloud
This is actually very GOOD news for the Bitcoin world. The lunatics out there who launched this DDoS attack on MtGox have actually forced MtGox to harden its protection again such attacks... which is a VERY VERY GOOD THING for MtGox... and thus, for all of us.
"In a minute" MtGox will be back online... stronger and more secure than ever before.
I wouldn't go so far as to "thank" those idiots who attacked MtGox... But, in reality... The end result will BENEFIT MtGox AND us all.

Someone proposed an idea to me today. The idea was intended as a way to solve the problem of the volatile value of a bitcoin ...for merchants who just want a US dollar. The idea is a Bitdollar. A new separate network, forked off of the Bitcoin code... but one where the value is locked in and tied to the USD. This sounds like it would combine all the speculative uncertainty of bitcoins with all the inflationary uncertainty of dollars. Why would anyone use it? Hmmm... if we're trying to lower the entry barrier, one interesting publicity stunt would be to offer a nominally USD-denominated transaction/investment account that quoted some obscenely high interest rate, like 40% APY, while actually holding most of the value in bitcoins and trading on some exchange as needed. This would of course be transparent: information about bitcoins and what they were would be readily available to people wondering how this was possible. Once it was clear that 30% was actually a ripoff, people would start looking to buy bitcoins directly. It would have to be made VERY VERY CLEAR to every account holder that this is a speculative venture, 30% is an estimate, and funds on deposit are potentially subject to 100% loss with no hope of recovery. Yes. I've had this idea too. Problem is... Do we want ourselves, or Bitcoin, to be associated with "a rip-off", as you said...? Because, you know, "being ripped off"... is the ONLY part of that story that they're going to remember. |

Yes. I told this person (the one who suggested this idea) the same thing about the Name of it. Should NOT call it a "dollar". But, anyway, if it were called something else... let's say, a BitPeg, for example....
His idea is that the "BitPeg" would be a p2p network almost exactly like the Bitcoin network. It would operate alongside the Bitcoin network. The primary difference being: 1 BitPeg would always = 1 USD in value.
The idea is: Merchants would prefer to transact in this currency --- being more comfortable with the lack of hour by hour, day by day, volatility in the value. 1000 BitPeg can be guaranteed to be worth 1000 USD.... one hour later... one day later... one year later.
Consumers who are not used to the concept of Bitcoin -- with its fluctuations in value -- would be more comfortable transacting business and commerce with a known fixed value ruler.... the value of the USD. From the consumer's perspective, it would be a free PayPal replacement.... with no fluctuating value weirdness.
Of course, once consumers are hooked on this new better USD -valued p2p currency... switching to Bitcoin would be as simple as a click. If fact, the exchange could literally be built-in to a DUAL BitPeg / Bitcoin client app which interfaces with a standard exchange site's API (for MtGox, Bitcoin Central, et al.)
In fact, switching back and forth, to and from BitPeg and BitCoin would be as simple as clicking a button... because all the exchange sites (like MGox, etc.) would accept BitPeg as "MtGox-USD".
I see a few major problems with his idea.
One: In order to keep BitPeg forced at the value of a USD, a central issuing company would have to control all mining of it, and all issuing new BitPeg. This entity would have to be trusted. It would also certainly become a target of governments wanting to stop it.
To this point, he says that establishing the central issuing company in a far away country solves that problem.
Two: What incentive would anyone have to run the p2p network? Maybe this could be solved by requiring merchants to run a p2p app...? I don't know.
Also... Redeeming your BitPeg's for actual USD --- as merchants would most certainly want to do --- would require transacting directly with the central issuing entity.
He realizes the drawbacks of this system (centralized control & devaluing US dollar)....
However, he sees it as a coexisting BRIDGE system... More attractive for many consumers and merchants TO TRANSACT BUSINESS in a stable familiar valued unit.
Then..... They would automatically migrate their money from BitPeg into Bitcoin for long term saving, investment, etc.
BitPeg = value tied to USD = centrally issued = for transacting business online and otherwise in a very familiar stable valued currency
Bitcoin = for savings and investing, or long term storage of wealth
Think of one as your checking / debit card for day to day shopping and expenses ... and the other one as your safety deposit box full of rare gold and silver coins.
( Remember, this wasn't my idea. But it's intriguing enough to give us all something to think about. ) Thoughts?
Maybe instead of BitPeg it should be called BitPal .... ha ha ... as a stab at PayPal.
....or BitPay....?

Something weird has happened.
Yesterday, someone came over to buy some Bitcoins. We accepted his cash and sent him his Bitcoins. Ed sent them by making a Withdrawal from his own MtGox account TO this person's Bitcoin address.
Unfortunately, this young man sat here with his laptop and his Bitcoin client open... and they never showed up.
Hours Later, they still hadn't shown up.
I emailed MtGox. MtGox promptly replied showing me that the transaction IS IN the block chain.
However.... still no sign of it in the Bitcoin client.
We verified the Bitcoin address from his Bitcoin client app and it matches perfectly.
How could this happen?

After a recent radio interview, I received a phone call from a guy in brazil who said he had bought bitcoin for half a cent each. Love Leo Laporte.... but OnlyOneTV plans to be much larger that TWiT. Someone proposed an idea to me today. The idea was intended as a way to solve the problem of the volatile value of a bitcoin ...for merchants who just want a US dollar. The idea is a Bitdollar. A new separate network, forked off of the Bitcoin code... but one where the value is locked in and tied to the USD. I see lots of problems with this idea. What about you? Thoughts about this idea? |

We just received a video update from Plato from his trip. It'll be included in this week's The Bitcoin Show. Remember when a Bitcoin used to be worth $0.005 ....? Forbes May 9 issue is out in print today. Gavin & I's interview starts on page 40. It's titled, "Bitcoin". |

I guess I should have qualified that question....
Please tell me TWO Things:
(1) Did you watch the show?
Then....
(2) Is an hour too long?
Those 2 questions go hand in hand. If you DID watch the show, I want to know if 1 hour seemed too long.
If you didn't watch the show, Are you planning to? Why or why not?

Alice has money on its wallet. Bob copy its wallet and send all money. On Alice wallet not this transaction, she send money. Can she send money? How prevent against theft?
No. If they both have a copy of the SAME wallet.... Then whoever spends the money first, can spend it. The second attempt to send the same bitcoins will not be allowed, and will be prevented by the bitcoin network. |
