Hold up, theymos told you to stop making more topics about Bitcoinduit.com, and... you make another one about how you're not supposed to do that anymore?

It's time to pay back!  Send the Bitcoins to 1EPty4cY86YinFri78XKJ3o8FFrVSLmLHd

They aren't stealing. They are merely breaching a contract that is unenforceable because the IBB entered into it knowing that the person was underage. At least in the US, contracts are only enforceable against someone underage if they lied about their age and the IBB made a reasonable attempt to verify it.

However, I am not a lawyer, so please take this with a grain of salt.

The thing is, should somebody underage default on their loan and not lie about their age, you can't threaten them with legal action. I know you don't even bother with trying to pursue legal action (at least currently), but that's a strong reason to keep honest people honest. If a kid realizes at the last minute that he can't pay you back, even though he meant to, there's little you can do to encourage him to figure something else out.

The twice-daily difficulty retargets, along with the shorter block generation speed, means that should it be necessary to fork the blockchain because a security issue was discovered and exploited, a patch has to be made and distributed to over half of the miners (in terms of hash speed) AND the fork needs to be grow longer than the bad chain in less than 12 hours (possibly even no more than 6 hours) before mined blocks after the exploit happened start maturing. Even worse, this needs to happen just as soon even if a strong majority of the miners stop mining as soon as they learn of the attack. Once the blocks mature, any site that didn't hear of the issue could be sent coins that would soon be voided and accept them as valid. At that point, even more people will have an incentive to allow the bad chain to remain.

The same applies to if there is a temporary (at least one day) split of the internet somewhere. Users would only have 6-12 hours to notice and stop accepting coins.

Bitcoin was designed with these "limitations" for VERY good reason.

Quoting for preservation...

Post is not edited.

Yes, you do.

Basically, all of the secondary blockchain defense mechanisms are removed in favor of convenience.

Theymos just got back to me: They are not a match, which is what I suspected.

Just send a support request to MtGox, and they'll re-credit your account. Again, all you did was send the coins to yourself.
Again, that is incorrect. In fact, if you look at the very thread where you reported the "pending" issue to MagicalTux, you'll see that the address in the screen shot and the address you posted are the same.

As the funds weren't ever sent to you, only Sh1337 can deal with MtGox.

No, I'm not misinterpreting it. MtGox shows the address that was deposited to, not the address the funds came from. It'd be dangerous if they did.

*sigh*

Ladies and gentlemen, this whole thing was just a big misunderstanding, combined with a MtGox bug. What Sh1337 did was send the money to his own MtGox Bitcoin address, thinking that it was the address dalamchops sent from (he didn't see dalamchops' post until after he sent it), and it was removed from the account but never re-added.

Sh1337, contact MtGox and report this bug and ask that it be re-credited to your account. Once that is done, send the Bitcoins to the address dalamchops posted.

Sh1337, I have to ask that you post a screen shot of your MtGox BTC account history page. If you won't do that, I ask that you at least PM it to me.

Thanks, I believe that is enough to establish that the Bitcoins were sent to Sh1337. However, that was never in question, since Sh1337's story agrees on that point. What I need proof of is that the Bitcoins weren't sent back.

I have sent 1 BTC to 1Jo7oEXLzVq3h6Jq9FFZUnGaRT4te5zVdN from a MtGox account that I made, to another MtGox account I made. So far, I see no transaction on the Bitcoin network.

I have to ask that you submit additional evidence.

Now that's interesting... However, I believe that any transfer to an existing MtGox Bitcoin address from MtGox would do the same, although I'd have to test it myself. In fact, hold on while I do test it.

I was in support of doing that, but we decided to just put them all in the trash binAlternate cryptocurrencies board instead. The justification (which I agree with) was that members of this forum might be interested in it. That said, no subforums for individual alternate cryptocurrencies will be created, because this is not supposed to be the primary community for these cryptocurrencies.

You misspelled "Bitcoin"

Sorry, but this is not the SolidCoin forum. I'm sure that whatever you want to post can be done there, assuming it exists. If it doesn't, that's not our problem.
