This fucking cracks me up:

https://vircurex.com/welcome/ann_reserved.html

LTC paid back in the month of August:  15.

Total LTC still owed to customers:  124,719

This means Vircurex will pay everyone back by the year 2706  (692 years from now).


Fucking crooks.  Note that there are no numbers for September or October. 

Oh, by the way:  "Earn interest on BTC, LTC and PPC account balances
We now pay interest on BTC, LTC and PPC account balances, they are paid multiple times every day. Check out the help for details. "

They're now paying interest to other people!   That makes total sense!

The book of Revelation was "revealed" to St.John when 'God' spoke to him through the cracks in the wall (or ceiling) of a cave.

Burning bushes.  Thunder clouds.  Dreams.  Visions.  I make no judgments about the veracity of them.  I'm definitely in no position to call them BS.  All I can say is that I wish He still spoke to us like this today.

These "prank" videos are a gunshot to the head away from no longer being funny, nearly every time.

Idiots.

Scratch that.  Darwin called it Natural Selection.  Carry on, pranksters.

246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New York Looks to Slap Digital Currency With Death Sentence on: October 19, 2014, 02:17:07 AM
thanks to New York’s Superintendent of Financial Services, Benjamin Lawsky. This new artificially imposed homicide might as well be called – Death by Regulation.

Here's my response:   Who.  Fucking.  Cares.

After watching the Canadian Senate Hearings, I no longer give a flying fudge about the BitLicense, Lawsky, or anyone else who tries to over-regulate Bitcoin.  There are other countries than the beloved US of A.

Unless you're a Die Hard American Patriot™ who gets upset when the USA isn't the center of the universe (barf), what Benjamin Lawsky does is completely irrelevant.  

Bitcoin is worldwide.  Therefore all this jibber jabber about how Lawsky is going to adversely affect Bitcoin, is a bunch of hooey.  

The only thing he's going to adversely affect is the quantity of businesses that make NYC home.  

He's screwing New York City.  Not Bitcoin.  This is happening.  With or without him.

It is definitely  too close to what Revelation 13:16-17 seems to prophesy.    But until the rulers of the world incorporate crypto and enforce it as law to receive a microchip with digital wallet in your right hand or head,  feel free to bitcoin on.     After all its written and will happen no matter if you uncle chooses to use it in the meantime or not.

This.

It does in fact match the one world currency prophesy.  However there may be hundreds of years before it ever gets to that point (and implants in head or hand).  Likewise, nobody at this stage knows whether it will be Bitcoin or Crypto.  It could be another technology altogether.  If your uncle is afraid of something because it may lead to something bad, then he should stop doing everything.  Because every technology he participates in today is some way tied to the future technology which will be the mark of the beast.  For all we know, the one world currency could be Dogecoin.

What about MT Gox, they had been around for a long time as well, and were the most trusted exchange on the market.

How much volume are they trading anyways? I have never seen them listed on BitcoinWisdom.

Can you stop hijacking this thread with off topic shit?   This thread is about a legit exchange that made promises and is not delivering on them.  And the fact that nobody is saying a word, though I am certain that several hundred or thousand people still have their funds frozen.  That was the goal of this thread.  Not to get into some pissing match about who you think is a dummy, when you don't even know who Vircurex is.

Maybe you should be more careful where you are placing your money, especially to some un-trusted site.

Dear Captain 20/20 hindsight irrelevant response person:  

Vircurex had been around a long time as a well-known reputable exchange.  When my friend purchased his coins, there was no indication to believe there would be a problem. So the advice to "not buy from an untrusted site" is not applicable to this thread.  Aside from being a generally unhelpful response.

251  Economy / Service Discussion / Vircurex is *still* holding stolen coins. Where's the outrage? on: October 16, 2014, 05:38:52 PM
I keep hearing about exchanges / fraud / nonsense going on in the Bitcoin world, and these companies are falling apart day after day.

Yet one company is still chugging along, doing absolutely NOTHING to release the funds it has stolen from its users, and nobody is saying a word.

---------

Vircurex announced basic insolvency back in March-ish, and started freezing hundreds of thousands of dollars in users Bitcoins and Litecoins, etc.

They're still frozen.

A friend of mine had just spent $10,000 on Litecoin and to this day, it is still frozen.

They claimed they would be slowly paying everyone back over time, but they've done nothing

They ignore emails.

------

And now there's this announcement on their site:

"Earn interest on BTC, LTC and PPC account balances
We now pay interest on BTC, LTC and PPC account balances, they are paid multiple times every day. Check out the help for details. "

How the fuck are they paying INTEREST on BTC and LTC balances when they haven't paid back the people whose coins they've stolen?Huh??

Why isn't anyone in law enforcement going after these guys?

No investigation, no outrage, nobody even posting about it.

we have lost nearly 70% of our traffic since this ban.

So this proves you were spamming Reddit for site traffic, and the block stopped that.

256  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we all seeing the same chart??? on: October 15, 2014, 02:28:29 PM
I just want to see what the perma bulls keep seeing as strength in the bitcoin chart...  Huh

That's the point.  We don't see strengths in bitcoin charts.  

We are perma bulls because we are paying attention to the news.  The infrastructure.  The startups.  The mass quantities of smart people building businesses, services, and "innovating at the edges".  There is absolutely no sign of slowing down in this regard, and charts mean a pile of shit compared to the aforementioned elements.  Unless you're talking about short term permabulls, permabulls are the only smart people on this entire discussion forum.  Because their faith is in whats actually *happening* out there.

When I begin to see all of that slow down, or stop, that's when I turn from a bull to a bear, and get the heck out of Dodge.

AND I have paper copies in another location, split up so you need both parts to complete the key.

There's an idea I haven't heard before.   I might just try that.   Even though I assume your private keys are BIP encrypted .... splitting them in half and putting them in two different locations is a pretty sick idea.

BittBurger, you mean you have never heard of Armory's fragmented backup solution?
Fragmented backup halfway down

Nope!  But i'll check it out, thanks.  I've intentionally stayed away from Armory because it is not friendly to the less technically-inclined like myself.  I am sure its a robust and exhaustively secure system, but being robust and exhausting (for someone like me) is why I didn't bother.  I couldn't see any reason why a simple bitaddress.org Bip38 paper wallet printed offline and stored in a bank safety deposit box, is any less secure than Armory.  

In fact, leaving anything reliant upon *any* software seems like a bad idea to me in general.  

I was backing up my wallet.dat files for awhile there, and then one day bitcoin core wouldn't let me import my largest wallet file, which I had put on a USB drive.  I almost lost everything I had.  Fortunately I'd deleted a wallet.dat copy in the past, and it was still sitting in my recycle bin.  That one worked.  Any wallet.dat file that I had pulled off my hard drive and put back onto it wouldn't work anymore.  Scariest day of my Bitcoin life.  That's when I said "f*ck anything electronic, this is going on paper". 

There is no way im going to trust my life savings to a windows application.

Supernintendo Ben Lolsky needs to just watch the Canadian Senate hearings with A. Antonopoulos and get back to us with his revised BitLicense.

In 5 years.
