Yikes! hides head-in-the-sand lol bad timing I'm just saying ya of course you can rob a bank but when it comes to "purchasing" items with bitcoins I feel safer using it then credit cards. btw: this holiday season I've had to close two credit cards due to fraud I should have included that aspect. |

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. |

I've never understood why the bitcoin community doesn't speak up about the benefits of not having to worry about fraud when you spend your bitcoins let me be more specific "Transactional fraud" or "point of sale fraud" . Seems to me this is a HUGE advantage for consumers to spend bitcoins instead of credit cards. I mean 8 million people are a victim to credit fraud a year? Visa/Mastercard spend millions on it check this piece by ABC news it's like wtf! http://news.yahoo.com/video/business-15749628/inside-visa-preventing-card-fraud-27668735.htmlthoughts? |

The reason for the price rise is to prevent penny scammers, and is temporary.
With the cost of creating an asset so low it was profitable to create scam assets as long as they reaped in more than 0.5BTC, which isn't very much. This resulted in a number of what turned out to be scam assets.
With the release (for testing) of GLBSE 2.0 at the end of the year a lot of current issues will be fixed. The interface is getting a huge makeover along with much needed shareholder/asset creator communication tools.
The price will be dropped considerably on the production launch (probably a week after the testing launch) of GLBSE 2.0
Please keep in mind that although GLBSE has never been the easiest service to use it has always been trustworthy. Since the beginning security (and not usability) had been our number one concern and it's shown. We have not had a single hack or any loss of BTC since our launch.
GLBSE is still run by trustworthy members of the bitcoin community, which includes myself (my own identity I have revealed).
We're working on making GLBSE as easy to use as possible.

Hey Nefario, when do you think you'll go back to 0.05 asset listing fee ? also, do you have any tutorials on how to use GLBSE ? Thanks - Bbit |

@zby go for it, start a petition and post it here.
@matt maybe we should talk soon so I can try to convince you to stop trolling the forums...
Ok, this is getting a tad absurd, really? I mean the average viewer isn't going to care how its worded. If this was some "technology review" then yes of course lets sue them. This can only help Bitcoin . On a side note: maybe we should look into "buying out trolls" with bitcoins? maybe the best ignore button is paying them off ? like set up an "off-site" website where you can register as a troll and agree to some TOS in return you get some bitcents every day/week/month to stay off these boards. thoughts? |

Thanks this is all helpful. What was wierd is I tried another address the other day and it had like 100 bitcoins "total received" and like I've never used it basically but maybe I was seeing things. I'm going to look this over further thanks for the useful information! |

the safest place to store your wealth is in your own life, enjoy your money!
buy a house! buy some beer, buy a super hot computer, wtv you want.
buy some bitcoins and spend them! support something you believe in.
money / things are not wealth
invest in your life!
buy a wife?  |

The IPs are just the first nodes that blockchain.info saw transactions come from. It doesn't mean you're on those IPs, just that you connected to the p2p network through them or near them.
The address shows 25.60112 BTC in, 25.60112 BTC out, zero current balance. BlockExplorer agrees. How much did you expect to see there?
hmmm I figured much. Will is that 25.60112 btc the "accumulative total" that is ever been at that payment address? or currently? |
|

Do you mind posting the address so we can have a look?
Nope don't mind here you go: 1MCARALEqNoLfQT1XdoxtTREk8L6kvHYm Just odd I mean maybe over its lifetime 25 btc but still something doesn't add up. Thanks! |

I was wondering if there could be a sub-forum for listing fraudulent websites such as this one : https://bc-casino.com/ and as pointed out on http://www.thebitcointrader.com/ this would be helpful to the bitcoin community to know what is legit and what isn't. Any thoughts? Oh also for phishing scams like the one today from Mt. Gox. Thanks! |
