OP has a very valid points. These people keep on trying to regulate something impossible to regulate and they want to impose laws only they know how to divert... Stupidity at its finest.

I'd pay a load of coins to have the same sources as you do in what regards information about Satoshi... Cheesy

2424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transactions speed prevent us from going to Mainstream ? on: August 03, 2015, 10:48:51 PM
Another thread confusing everything. Transaction speed is one thing, confirmations are another. Transactions are instant: how can it be better than that? Confirmation do take time. Security takes time. So no, I don't think transaction speed is preventing anything Smiley

Way more secure accepting 0 confirmation transactions than Visa ones, in my opinion.
2425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn a lot of free bitcoins fast? on: August 01, 2015, 09:41:41 PM
You do not earn Bitcoin fast (unless you're incredibly lucky Cheesy)

For sig campaigns you can check here

You can ask for loans here, but you won't go far, for now.

If you're skilled and determined, that's something on your favor...

I'll refill the wallet within 12 to 24 hours. Bitcoin boy will process the missed payouts once I've funded it. Sorry for the delay once again guys, everyone will be paid!

Thanks for the update!

Some quotes from a former mtgox employee:

Yes, my belief was he was using customer deposits to support his lifestyle (many stories there) and that of the company without audit. Again, INCREDIBLY frustrating to see something you love and believe in... in the hands of someone... such as Mark at that time.

There were many interested investors. Once I found the discrepancy, and the missing money... I called the investors and told them about the situation. I wanted no blood on my hands, and they all left immediately.



--------- Security ------

"Yes. We had multiple meetings about this... the response was laughable.

Mark said that if he died there would be hints that one of his best friends could follow to find and unlock the cold-wallets. When I asked said friend, he said he had no idea what Mark was talking about."

That's not even the most shocking thing. What about the lack of cold storage and ignoring issues that were live on the server? And the shared account I posted earlier? I was shocked reading the reddit thread... Things are far worse than I could imagine.
2428  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Change in BIP32 will make Trezor 1.0 useless? on: August 01, 2015, 09:10:05 PM
So what does this means exactly, that I can throw my Trezor away after this? Can't they just write a new update or software for the Trezor?

And second question, are our bitcoins on Trezor in danger after this happens?

Thanks guys.

This means that you can carry on using your Trezor and when a BIP is released and implement to replace BIP32 you change device. Simple as that.

Your Trezor or another hardware wallet will keep on working, but as said before in this thread, with old software.


I still don't know what's the deal Cheesy Things change, tech evolves and we change with it. I keep my question, what's going to change in BIP32? We all know the answer. Just change device when a new BIP comes.
2429  Other / Off-topic / Re: What might Marks cat think now? on: August 01, 2015, 06:11:28 PM
His cat will finally feel free from oppression and give us valuable insight about the future of Bitcoin and trading.

That being said, this thread is amazing and certainly fits the Bitcoin Discussion subforum Grin

What's going to change in BIP32?
2431  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Being against Mark Karpels is simply attacking our own. on: August 01, 2015, 01:48:50 PM
This isn't that complicated. It's pretty simple. What happened is the following:

1. Someone opened a service that held Bitcoins for customers (thus making himself responsible for deposits and indirectly stating he was competent enough to have them in their possession)

2. That person lost all the funds. Be it from stealing, hacking, whatever, he lost it.

I don't know how can this be more clear.
If hypothetically I held coins for you, and I lost them... What would your attitude be?

Despite this, I can agree with the following:

You never see these kind of arrests for all the banking frauds in the West and including Japan.

There's already quite a discussion about this here
2433  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Will the new invention by Intel & Micron help PCs to replace ASIC again ? on: August 01, 2015, 01:42:00 PM
if i understood corretly this technology improves storage right? if i'm right, it would be good to use this in conjuction with coins that need storage to be mined, like bustcoin or anything else in the future

Yes, that's well thought. Being a storage tech, it can probably make BURST mining better somehow...
2434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Karpeles finally getting some Japanese style justice - hang 'em high on: August 01, 2015, 12:34:55 PM
A good read here and here Roll Eyes

The rest of the topic is also interesting.
2435  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to accept Bitcoin on a website using Electrum on: August 01, 2015, 11:51:01 AM
Good to see such nice developments on Electrum, this seems like a killer feature Smiley Thanks.
2436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Karpeles finally getting some Japanese style justice - hang 'em high on: August 01, 2015, 11:46:14 AM
Looking forward to see what he's accused of in the next few days. I bet they have enough for the accusation.

Having stolen the coins or not, one thing is certain: he lost control of thousand of Bitcoins from customers.
2437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long did it take you to make 1 BTC? on: August 01, 2015, 11:32:19 AM
I think when I started out it took me 6 to 9 months to get my first full BTC... Now it's very different, although there is still one similarity: the fiat to buy Bitcoin isn't really abundant Cheesy
2438  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Will the new invention by Intel & Micron help PCs to replace ASIC again ? on: August 01, 2015, 11:29:36 AM
I don't really think it will replace ASIC's... ASIC' makers will probably just absorb this tech as much as they can, if it gives an advantage to their chips!

XPoint isn't an asic technology for mining. It's a bulk storage technology, and it's not useful for an asic OR a cpu miner, beyond a memory device to store settings and firmware (a task tangential to mining).

I thought this had something to do with RAM, excuse me for my confusion.

2440  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to buy bitcoins by paypal or credit card? better low cost on: July 31, 2015, 09:19:21 PM
You can use LocalBitcoins for PayPal and you can refer to this

I can't vouch for any service in particular as I've never used any.
