Ordinarily, you'd be right on, however in this particular instance you're mistaken. The OP is not only a minor but has no previous history of fraud as far as I have found. That is incorrect. The only reason you haven't found evidence of previous fraud is because he paid off the person he scammed before and threatened legal action for it to be taken down. When you say "paid off", do you mean the money was returned to them? I'm curious how long ago this was. I have PM'd you the info, to protect Jake's privacy. |

Looks like someone reset the poll (was 8 yes, 0 no), so I've re-opened the poll for the next difficulty change.

It doesn't really matter, since the FDIC insurance itself is a lie.

So Diablo 3 is implementing a real-money auction house. Someone discuss with blizzard to replace with BTC ;p
Give me a well-written proposal and I'll pass it on. In this proposal, I'd like to see sites like bit-pay and btcinch mentioned, as they are great examples of BTC to USD processing. Do you know someone at Blizzard? Higher up or eng? I feel this will be a C-Level/board type decision, an agreement reached by both Activision and Blizzard.  Yes. I have PR contacts as well as some Battle.net engineers. I realize that I won't be able to reach the people who would make this decision directly, but I suspect that I have the best contacts out of everyone here. There's only one person outside of Blizzard that I know has more contacts than me, and I'm personal friends with them. |

I'd also like the ability for gamers to spend their processing power to make Bitcoins mentioned as a main reason why they should support BTC. |

Maged - I don't know what the exact number is, but since you said it isn't true, you must know?
It seems that 1.5 million might be accurate after all, if we assume that the rate Satoshi mined the first 10 blocks was representative of his total hashing power. What I find interesting, however, is that mining speeds slowly dropped from that initial speed during the first few months. I almost wonder if Satoshi pulled a Satoshi and foresaw this very issue. It's quite possible that he slowly pulled out of mining in order to spread the wealth. |

The 1.5 million BTC that Satoshi holds now...
Where is that number coming from? It simply isn't true. Or maybe it's just me. Can someone please explain the lack of relationship I mentioned above, without resorting to "Satoshi designed the system so he/she deserves those coins," or, "whiners be hatin'," or, "RALLY!!!, etc."? In fact let's make it really clean by leaving miners/investors out completely-- I just want to know why Bitcoin is designed this way.
This is actually a very simple question to answer. This design allowed to solve bootstrap problem, also known as catch 22 or chicken and egg problem. i.e. it is not a bug it is a feature as are many other properties of bitcoin. This. It was needed in order to make Bitcoin irresistible to people early on. Without it, we wouldn't have nearly as many people today, ESPECIALLY MINERS. Thanks to an ever-increasing difficulty, it applied the very important "BUY(mine) NOW!!!" rule of advertising. If you knew that you could make the same tomorrow as you could today, would you be in that much of a hurry to secure the Bitcoin network? Even if the only thing we wouldn't have had much of today was miners, we'd be screwed. Bitcoin was officially attacked a few months ago. If it wasn't for the inflated security of the Blockchain that was caused by keeping the block reward the same, Bitcoin would have been successfully destroyed, instead of a few Bitcoin-related sites. |

Damn this is annoying, apparently I can't edit a post with a scammer tag.
The rest of you making claims here I need wallet addresses.
I added this to your OP: "Be sure to include a wallet address for the Bitcoins to be returned to, if that was how you paid." |
|
|
|
If I understand correctly: if I want an OP code to be re-enabled, I'll have to make it secure
You'll also have to mathematically prove it. |

is this the ryanwebber from florida that posted the scam listing for 2x 6990? if it is, i would like my money please
You were never scammed by these two accounts. Nice try though. too many scammers on here with too many accounts, i can't keep track of them all. how do i know ur not the same guy? other dude also scammed me of 2 6990, and is also from florida. btw, why are you helping this RyanWebber make everything right? he's the one that scammed people, why don't he take some responsibility and make thing right himself. You were scammed by Leon. Here's the thread if you forgot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29636.0 |

I just wanted to admit that yes, I would have kept going if Theymos didn't message me, or didn't rack up a ton of evidence.
Ha! I just realized what that evidence was. I didn't make the connection until I looked over my PM history, though. |

gmaxwell's post addresses that point.

The sad part about this story is that, even though he securely deleted the wallet, we now know that there's most likely still some remnant there that can be recovered with today's wallet recovery technology. Only a full wipe of a drive can permanently destroy a wallet.
