That is the whole point. If I am not wrong, the balance sheet and financial reports for Mt Gox were created and verified every 3 months. Also, it seems that in June 2011 (when the biggest robbery happened), the vast majority of the Gox coins were stored in a single Bitcoin wallet. It is impossible not to notice the robbery of BTC425,000 from a single wallet.

There is a more in-depth article with a chart showing the discrepancy here:

Is this description really accurate? The chart displayed on the above article I posted shows that the coins were stolen (either hacked or not) in two distinct events rather than continuously over the lifetime of Mt. Gox. For example, you can see the lines diverge immediately and instantly after the 424,242 BTC transfer in June 2011 followed by a "slipping" of reserves during the first half of 2012. Then the rest of the trend seems normal, save the two events which caused the line to be much lower than it should be:

PD and JD are the undoubtedly the most trustworthy gambling sites out there...

You just quoted that i already said im using lite version but im still experiencing slowness of thr site sometimes

The Bakersfield Californian reported that Senior Officer Aaron Stringer arrived on the scene of a Nov. 13 shooting after police open fired and killed 22-year-old Ramiro James Villegas, who had led them on a chase and then reportedly reached for his waistband. However, no gun was ever found on the suspect.

Does anyone  know why the "Miracles of Miracles of Naked Lunch" tread has been closed? I was really enjoying some no holes barred (excuse the pun;-) and unpolitically correct, uncensored mature dialogue but it has sadly been locked?

I haven't read his book but I saw the movie Naked Lunch some years ago, it was disturbing in its brutal honesty. I can see how such raw transparency to some is overwhelming. I would have liked to discuss this more in the thread but alas it has been censored  Now that is a naked lunch

Anyway hope someone can tell me more as to why the admins locked it?

Thanks   

IM just Going To lock This thread.

Im locking it Because: I dont Want to go for beatophobic Fitting Which i saw in last comments.

Hopeing all will continue though to seek Truth and not follow the heyterd.

Thanks

...Moreover he scammed someone on here for a large amount.   So he does not need/deserve sympathy or donations.

Donating to the victim is a much better idea, as someone suggested.

While several new users are shill accounts, there are legit new users too trying to learn more about bitcoin. Welcoming and helping them can make a big difference.

The thread title is very misleading.

The same logic is applicable to the Republic of Minerva as well.

In 1972, the Las Vegas millionaire Michael Oliver founded his own anarcho-libertarian nation at the Minerva reefs in the Pacific ocean. The reefs were at the time submerged, and in international waters. Oliver was dreaming about a nation without any governmental interference at all; no taxation, policing, social support systems or any element of control. Barges were loaded with sand from Australia and dumped on the reefs, until they penetrated the surface and became land mass. Oliver then wrote the neighbouring nations, declaring that a new independent nation was born; The republic of Minerva. This declaration was viewed with suspicion from the neighbours, who convened behind the back of the Minervians, and declared the reef to be a part of Tonga. Tonga invaded the nation and forced Oliver of the land. As of today, the national identity of the Minerva reefs is still being debated.

How the FBI is going to find him, if he is living outside the United States, and using exchanges such as BTC-e, which are not that friendly to the US government agents?

bitcoin can not be blamed for this, without any bitcoin pedophiles can still buy online images of child sexual abuse by other means of payment.

Without an internet trail, many paedophiles might never be caught.

Let them do that, it just makes it easier to catch them. 

Most of these people think Bitcoin is anonymous, and that acctually help law enforcement agencies to track and trace them. 

They might think Bitcoin is a safe heaven, but the people on Silkroad thought that too, until they got busted.

Obvious honeypot to get paedos to use traceable bitcoins like the DEA tried to do.

The Republic of Minerva was set up in 1972 as a libertarian new-country project by Nevada businessman Michael Oliver. Oliver's group conducted dredging operations at the Minerva Reefs, a shoal located in the Pacific Ocean south of Fiji. They succeeded in creating a small artificial island, but their efforts at securing international recognition met with little success, and near-neighbour Tonga sent a military force to the area and annexed it.

The Republic of Rose Island was a 400 m2 (4,300 sq ft) platform built in 1968 in Italian national waters in the Adriatic Sea, 7 miles (11 km) off the Italian town of Rimini. It is known to have issued stamps, and to have declared Esperanto to be its official language. Shortly after completion, however, it was seized and destroyed by the Italian Navy for failing to pay state taxes.

Kugelmugel is a former micronation located in Vienna, Austria.

Located in Vienna Prater, the Republic of Kugelmugel declared independence in 1984, after disputes between artist Edwin Lipburger and Austrian authorities over building permits for the ball-shaped house which he built in the countryside in Lower Austria and which was moved into the park by the authorities. The house is enclosed by a barbed-wire fence and is the only address within the proclaimed Republic. Its address is "2, Antifaschismusplatz 1" (2nd district (Leopoldstadt), "Anti-Fascism Square" No. 1), and the founder is the head of state of hundreds of non-resident citizens. Lipburger refused to pay taxes to the Austrian government and began to print his own stamps, for which he received a prison sentence in court. Only a pardon by the Austrian President saved him from going to jail.

Austrian state officials relocated the structure to the Prater park and surrounded it with barbed wire fencing.

Could you please explain how that will happen? There are only one million or so Bitcoin users around the world. Out of that less than 1,000 can be considered as having more than 1K coins. Of that, may be 1% or 2% might be willing to move to the new country. That means no more than a dozen or two will move to Liberland.

I only use Dadice, it is the future of dice site, it implements social media features, we can chat in the site, besides, send or get tips in the site, which is the most awesome function. Additionally, dadice has the best faucet.

I used JD before, but there was not faucet, no fun.

And to add to the above, the I/O capacity of an SSD is on an entirely different level to that of a mechanical hard drive. And that's exactly what non file hosting sites require.

I'm guessing SSD's are used mostly because of their speed difference vs. classic hard drives. They have great random seek times (fractions of a millisecond because the disk doesn't need to spin to read data) plus most current SSD's can do about 550MB/s read and write speeds. Compare that with 200MB/s max on hard drives and it probably makes more sense to host this site on SSD's. SSD's are also getting better and better - they're becoming more reliable, coming with larger capacities, and faster speeds. The newest Intel SSD's can do about 1.5GB/s read/write, obviously for a much higher price. However that doesn't really relate to the question.

I think the major reason they're used is because of their quick random seek times, making it multitudes faster to prepare web pages for the thousands of constant users on this site compared to a hard drive.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2856052/grueling-endurance-test-blows-away-ssd-durability-fears.html

SSD technology has come a long way over the past 10 years. At my current usage rate (higher than average probably), the 840 Evo in my desktop will wear out in about 12 years, and that's a consumer drive, not enterprise (I don't know what SSD's are in use here).

A platter drive I would normally replace after 5 years, or 50,000-60,000 hours.

It also uses more power, produces more heat, is more vulnerable to shock, etc. They have their place still, but longevity is not a reason to buy a platter drive.

People worried about the finite lifecycle of a SSD are, for the most part, being ridiculous or using it as an excuse to justify their terrible decision to stick with platter drives. Your netbook probably has a cheap one. Cheap drives are crap drives, doesn't matter what kind they are.

No one likes a bricked SSD. You can reduce wear and tear and wring out every last write cycle - just don't treat it like a traditional hard drive...

...An SSD is flash storage. It has no moving parts. So unlike on a traditional mechanical hard drive, nothing breaks. SSD wear and tear has to do with write cycles.

Flash storage handles data in a specific way. When data is written to a block, the entire block must be erased before it can be written to again. The lifespan of an SSD is measured in these program-erase (P/E) cycles. Modern, consumer-grade, Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND memory can generally endure about 3,000 to 5,000 P/E cycles before the storage's integrity starts to deteriorate. The higher-end, Single-Level Cell (SLC) flash memory chip can withstand up to 100,000 P/E cycles.

You'd have to work hard to reach the P/E cycle limit for an MLC-based drive, let alone an SLC-based one. Nevertheless, every time you write something to the drive, you bring it a little closer to its demise. Don't obsess over every single write cycle—a few of our later tips are best suited for such tendencies—but do check out the following techniques for minimizing unnecessary writes to the drive...

...For the average user who doesn't write heaps of data to storage constantly, your SSD will probably live a long and happy life. And if you adjust your storage habits to the SSD's strengths, you could squeeze a few more cycles out of the drive.

The performance problem is lessened considerably if you put the swap file on an SSD rather than a hard drive. But there’s a problem: SSDs wear out with too much writing, so putting a swap file on one might shorten its life.

If all you have is an SSD, you may want to disable virtual memory entirely. You can do this in the Virtual Memory dialog box by selecting the drive it’s on, clicking No paging file, then clicking Set.

Should we allow Windows, or any other operating system, the right to ever install virtual memory on a SSD drive?

The short answer is no. The long answer is a little more difficult to explain. In order to understand why we shouldn't use virtual memory on our SSD drives, we should actually think about what virtual memory actually is, and what it is used for...

...SSD drives are random access drives, that access memory at high speed, and write faster, as well. This would make it more useful to use for virtual memory, than using traditional spinning drives, just from the speed stand point, but I maintain my not a good idea stance when it comes to virtual memory not belonging on SSDs, and there is a very important reason why. Each of the sectors has a limited write endurance, because of the very nature of a SSD drive, as oppose to a traditional spinning drive. So, while it it possible to damage a sector on a traditional spinning drive by normal wear and tear, the drive's sectors tend to last a lot longer, and there is a lot more sectors than the SSD drives, plus with the advent of perpendicular magnetic drive writing where we write the bit deeper than we used to, the magnetic storage of a spinning drive is much more resilient than those in standard SSD drives. In short, the spinning drive, even those limited in speed by the mere fact of needing to spin to the correct position, is less prone to issues related to limited write endurance, at least, not in any way that the current SSDs suffer.

Since virtual memory is a form of RAM, and it can be expected to change at any time. Being written and changed any time, to what may seem random to most, and because SSDs have a limited write endurance, it could be expected that such an operation can negatively impact the life span of a SSD drive. These kinds of actions can render a SSD useless in a shorter span of time.
