Not a single user on BitcoinTalk has the word Chicago in their user name. Neither is there a cabbie. Therefore, ChicagoCabbie should reserved for Rashid Temuri. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search Using that link, I found only 2 that used the word Taxi in their user name. I offered Rashid a free hand tooled leather Bitcoin wallet, a $150 USD value, if he registers with BitcoinTalk. Ideally, he should use ChicagoCabbie or Chicago Cabbie to further his brand. His last tweet has me believing that he's looking into all this. I hope he comes on board. He truly is a great guy. I would love to give him a personal wallet with his name, Rashid Temui, on it like the one below:  ~Bruno~ +1 once again Bruno is way ahead of us all in getting Bitcoins in front of as many people. A+ job sir! |

I'll assume that's a good thing. What about the Chicago Cabbie idea?
You should rent the movie Middle Men. it's about the guys who invented the way to accept credit cards over the internet on porn sites... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3gcb_9Q10Ewhen you get to the scene in the movie about the different alert tones, you'll get it  get me a video of the cabbie and I will play it! oh my gosh I've never heard of that movie going to check it out ahaha |

I'm a STRATFOR subscriber, and because of this breach I will demand that they accept bitcoin to continue my subscription.

2012 should be an epic year for bitcoin. Who knows how much growth there will be, how much new press, how many legal challenges, new trading platforms, changes to the client or protocol. Very exciting. My new year's resolution: use more bitcoins!

FFS what a bunch of retards
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING FUCKING IDIOTS. If you're a so called "hacker" you should fucking be able to have a faint of how credit cards fucking works. Goddamnit this pisses me off!!!
This is pretty much how socialism works, lets steal money from these people and give it to these people who need it and then society as whole wins RAIT???
It's really messed up. I don't know how in good faith you could label yourself a "hacker" and not know the consequences of using stolen credit cards? Its beyond me and your right this is steal from the rich ( actually, this is just normal people) and give to the poor mentality. Shameful. |

I'll admit that is disturbing  |

With AntiSec hacking into Stratfor's website and stealing credit card information and using the stolen cards to pledge to charities these charities now face $35 chargeback fee's:
"There’s real possibility of damage to smaller organizations if the Anonymous donations result in massive chargebacks for fraud. For instance, the Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group (AIDG) which works on access to electricity, sanitation, and clean water tweeted earlier today: “Stratfor Global has us worried. Pls don’t donate to AIDG with stolen credit cards, we get hit $35 per fraudulent transaction! #anonymous RT”"
Another case to solely go bitcoins only I do say. Thoughts?

Well -- it's gone pretty well except for the gift pickups. We've got about 160 BTC in outstanding gifts that emails were sent to, but who haven't managed to get their gifts. [edit: Meaning, they haven't downloaded MultiBit or another client and actually claimed them]. I ran a bunch of gifts out myself on Christmas Eve, so I know we weren't getting spam boxed -- so if anyone who used the service hasn't had a note saying their friends picked up the gift, email them and help them out!
A month from now, we're going to send out notices to the senders of any unclaimed gifts, giving them an address to pick up the coins; and March 1st, whatever's leftover will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
All in all, we regard it as a success... it brought some good attention to the community, and got some new people involved.
Thanks for the UPDATE. This is really good news to hear! |

if Visa/Mastercard are absorbing the costs of the fraud, what incentive is there for merchants to accept bitcoins?
But the banks and credit card companies do not take responsibility for the fraud. They push this back on the merchant as a chargeback. So Bitcoins are much more merchant friendly for combatting fraud at the point of sale. And the room full of data servers are primarily set to analyze your buying patterns, which is a heavy handed way to combat fraud. Very good points. I should have said for the merchant it makes sense to accept bitcoins but the "consumer" point is never mentioned as a "selling" point for people to drop money into bitcoin. I would think this should be added to your I love bitcoins website also or no? Sorry, I can't think of the domain off the top of my head!  |

Man look at that massive data centre. If that's all 'necessary' to keep your 'transactions secure', and fraud and identity theft is still a huge problem, why do people like Ben Laurie consider Bitcoin proof-of-work to be a hugely inefficient waste? Isn't that amazing? It's like a fortress lol you know how much money went into protecting Visa's "brand" . I mean that is what they are doing. |

There are many types of fraud, and fraud is a social problem just as much as a technical one.
I agree but there is no incentive to commit fraud if you use bitcoins which solves a lot of things in my opinion. I guess my point is this would be one reason someone would put money into bitcoins now they need places to spend but yeah that will come. What are you speaking about? Bitcoin is perfect for fraud. There are many types of frauds. The mybitcoin / bitcoin superstore kind of fraud where the seller just disappears with bitcoins is a perfect example why bitcoin is much, much _worse_ payment option than credit card. Bitcoin is great payment method, but only with a reputable escrow service or something similar. From consumer perspective, credit cards are still the king. I guess I'm wording it wrong. I mean "transactional fraud" meaning at the point of purchase. Of course anyone can rob a bank i.e essentially the same thing to what happened with mybitcoin. |
