Either way there is no need to use Tor to maintain privacy.
There isn't? What are other ways? Simply using a web wallet via a public computer / networks should do the trick. |

Because your implied point wasn't clear, obviously, rudey.
Bitcoin is not illegal last time I checked.

erm did I miss something?
When the various global police authorities took down 400 dark web sites a few weeks ago it seemed things may have changed for the worse regarding Tor. I don't know the technical details but I was under the impression they had performed some kind of Sybil attack to isolate users to specific IP's to identify offending servers. Either way there is no need to use Tor to maintain privacy. |

What is your point lambchop?
Governments don't care about people downloading dvd rips on torrent, industry does. And they lobby western governments hard to try and protect their dwindling resources.
Childporn is criminal and should be pursued by the police with whatever powers they have.

This is a very FUDesque comment, but if not BFX, could it be the bear whale who is accumulating all of the coins for a dump?
I mean, he's got to lose money on dumps, anyways... maybe this is a way for him to at least minimize the lost money -- accumulate at a more or less fixed price.
Thoughts:
(1) BFX ramping up the price -- bullish;
(2) Somebody with an inside scoop trying to accumulate on the cheap -- bullish;
(3) Some nihilist who wants to see the entire world burn -- bearish
Possible. |

I suppose one 'angle of attack' against btc is to try and de-anonymise it as much as possible and kick away one leg propping up its price to a degree, dark web transactions. Even if that is just a perceived change of safety amongst potential users it could be effective.
Still it hasn't been an even remotely effective strategy with conventional bit torrent.

First sentence: "One of the stated strengths of Bitcoin has, from the beginning, been its ability to provide anonymity and a sense of security on the same level that cash transactions do." Bitcoin was never designed to be anonymous. However it remains trivial to use it in such a way as to hide your IP if you are so inclined. It seems safe to assume Tor is broken now. Tzupy you are going to need to bring some world class FUD to move the price before the auction  |

I may have forgotten Lambchop, but I cannot recall you having any argument for why the price will drop in the medium term, other than "see the recent chart". Enlighten us |

Bearish divergence in 15 min MACD. To confirm it, more dumps needed in a couple of hours and down to 360$ tomorrow.
*glances at the price. Erm. |

Whoever is operating the bot has accumulated 1750 coins already apparently and according to a redditor is throttling the purchases to prevent it moving the price upwards. We are still four days away from the auction. What does someone know? |

Anyone else watching that bot on finex? It's doing 0.21 (~$80) market buys every 7 seconds trying to keep the price up
Bots are nothing new. They just do what the buyers and sellers should. That is get the best price for a position. I think these bots, at least ones so blatant, are bad for the image of BTC. We really do need to get away from bucket-shop exchanges. I, honestly, think we'd have a higher price if the exchanges were more legitimate. That said, in the near term, it has solved the query of whether the price is going up or going down in the near term. So, I'm personally kind of chill with it. But, BFX is a total bucket shop. It is just a regular user with a trading bot operating via the bitfinex API. I fail to see how that is bad for the image of BTC. Having 'child porn' listed as a use on the Wikipedia page is bad for the image. In any case all legitimate trading exchanges are now front-run by HFT firms and are corrupted in this regard. |

b) Your "price inflation" is bullshit of course. Otherwise, I'll go back one more year, and suddenly Bitcoin becomes hugely deflationary. Meaning, I don't get to cherry pick the periods of the market where BTC/USD hugely increased, so you don't get to cherry pick the period where it decreases. The market valuation of one bitcoin is simply not the issue here - otherwise, I point to market valuation since inception and point out we're still up more than 100,000%.... "Cherry pick the period"? You mean choosing a year when discussing yearly inflation rate? Yup the year u created this account to try to scare noobs into selling before u buy and dissapear back to your normal account, that year Ha. |

Ah, I wish I could automatically filter out every posts which has the "ignore" word in the text. But then I would practically ignore this post of mine as well which could be interpreted like I am schizophrenic.  (I never use the ignore feature on real persons, no matter what. I believe it's there to mute bots which is sometimes handy on some forums but not here.) Some of that was lost when we transcended from usenet to these web based discussion sites. It is a real shame. It does sour the experience of browsing here and on reddit.com This weekend has been a real snooze fest. Still managed to get some admin done with the odd glance at the ticker. Roll on December 4th and let's see who takes the coins. Hopefully they will leak the names of the participants again by accident and reveal the Swiss National Bank are bidding. |

Under 200 dollars is my bet.
Lower than the price a year ago. You think bitcoin has been wrongly priced by the market for more than twelve months? Tell us why!? |

Stolfi, noone can stop the pump bots. Given the lack of laws in this area, it is inevitable that Bitcoin will be manipulated to new highs, even if it doesn't get there legitimately.
Hear hear. I genuinely think btc will succeed. But along the way there is too much money to be made with etf's and price manipulation for no more bubbles going forward. Worked last year! |

Right off to bed. Hopefully be a semblance of normality on here when i return.
