there was already a topic about this. in short, one single blogger.. not the whole 2 nations of seria or iraq.. just one blogger talked about bitcoin in relation to the situation. then sky news exaggerated it, which then rippled to yahoo, msn and other media.. total FUD secondly ISIS is not a group of extremists in those 2 countries. ISIS is an american word to describe any/all/some (whatever they please) citizens of seria/iraq. so that inclues man women child and elderly.. with guns or without. ISIS is not a name given by those people, but by america. the whole ISIS is fully B.S more americans have gone to seria and iraq and killed more natives there, stolen more property.. then has ever happened th other way around. watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2FSMvrlUlYyou will see who sounds like a terrorist more P.S. dont read the news, it will make you dumb |

what i find strange is that this concept of veryfying identity has been part of bitcoin community for years now, but no website service is using it.. they all get people to sign up to google

if the puppy buyer is willing to pay buy bank transfer. just give them your bank details and you accept the dollars.
you will find that those that push for it to only be paypal or no deal at all.. you dont want those customers anyways because they are the scam artists.

there is a team of bitcoin-core people.
I should have made my post more accurate. What I meant is Bitcoin-core development should be more like Linux kernel development. in what way? |

there is a team of bitcoin-core people. a team of multibit people. a team of coinbase people a team of bitpay people. a team of bitcointalk people. a team of... you get my point, many teams
they all have their own little projects. linux however is not just a program, its a operating system where print driver group NEEDS to work with image editor and word document groups to ensure what word and image editors show on screen will be what comes out on a printer.
i can waffle on about other collaborations, but basically everyone needs to work together to some extent on a OS.
with bitcoin though it is decentralized, web designers do not have to collaborate with bitcoin-core developers as much as you think, maybe a couple hours a month if there is an update that has changed things..
bitpay web developers do not have to collaborate with coinbase developers at all.. apart from social events..
so bitcoin is more spread out in smaller groups each doing their own separate projects.

I get your point.
I'm Canadian and not a lawyer. Often with these bills you have to be a lawyer to interpret the fine print.
emphasis on interpret. as i shown one of the quotes was duhaime's INTERPRETATION. but always realise a judge or government could have a different interpretation. so its best to go straight to source, so read the c-31 proper document if your starting a business... |

...meaning although the bitcoin address is used like the password.. the bitcoin address is never actually typed in by the user to log in after registering.. only a signed message is pasted in as the password, which always changes and is also kind of a 2FA all in one because it is encrypted by the privkey, thus it cant be guessed and shows some user ownership verification, all in one.
its not using the blockchain to login as thats costing people money.. but its using bitcoins "message signing" feature, which is free and faster then sending coin
This sounds pretty cool, has anyone produced a working demo yet? bitcoin-OTC you can register your identity with a bitcoin address.. and you can verify your identity using a signed message it gives you... its not a website login, but the same rules apply. http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Bitcoin_address_authentication |

im only pointing out that duhaime specifically mentions bitcoins.. but not litecoins, myriadcoins or jungle-gymcoins.. meaning if you simply followed duhaimes version you would think you could get away with changing to an altcoin.. but read the actual act itself which mentions "property", meaning it includes much more things.. including any other assets such as cars, art bitcoins, altcoins etc rather then just "bitcoin" or just "money". protect yourself and know the law in full if doing business. it can cost you lot later on if you dont know it properly and understand it. |

is this news today??
No. Bill C-31, which was a couple weeks ago. The highlights: 1. Regulates Bitcoin as MSB – Bitcoin dealing, more specifically referred to as “dealing in virtual currencies” in Bill C-31, will be subject to the record keeping, verification procedures, suspicious transaction reporting and registration requirements under the PCMLTFA as a money services business. 2. Does not define “dealing in virtual currencies” - The phrase “dealing in virtual currencies” was left undefined and it is not known what the defined term will encompass in terms of business activities once defined by regulation. 3. Registration with FINTRAC - Bitcoin dealers will be required to register with FINTRAC and if successfully registered, to implement a complete anti-money laundering compliance regime. 4. Captures foreign Bitcoin companies targeting Canada – Bill C-31 is more sweeping than other Canadian laws because it extends to: (a) companies that have a place of business in Canada; and (b) companies that have a place of business outside Canada but who direct services at persons or entities in Canada. Coinbase, for example, will have to register with FINTRAC to continue to provide Bitcoin services in Canada. Having a place of business means physically located in Canada, or having an R&R in Canada. Bitcoin businesses in Canada, however, that provide services to persons or entities outside of Canada are exempt from Bill C-31 for those external services. 5. Prohibits banks from opening accounts for Bitcoin entities if unregistered - Under Bill C-31, banks will be prohibited from opening and maintaining correspondent banking relationships with Bitcoin dealers that are not registered with FINTRAC. This is an extremely important aspect of Bill C-31 and Bitcoin businesses should ensure they understand what a correspondent banking relationship is and how it can affect the provisions of banking services to them internationally.” thats duhaime's summerised description (interpretation) try read the actual C-31. duhaime's summaryproceeds of crime ammendmants bill c-31use of the words bitcoin and "property" in regards to the laundering and terrorist stuff.. for instance if you just go by duhaime's summary.. simply switch to litecoins... but the C-31 goes into more details using the word property, as oppose to 'money' or bitcoins. which is sly of them |

In order to fund a global geewhiz wouldn't that require exchanging a shit ton of bitcoins into fiat quickly? Good luck with that. When you find a bitcoin exchange that can do it please let me know which one and ill start using them.
unless your buying a house. keep the bitcoin, dont sell out at this cheap rate. just take out small amounts just to feed your lifestyle. I wonder who bitpay uses? bitpay has atleast $30m to play with(private investment), without needing to touch an exchange, more and more are doing private deals with bitpay behind the scenes to ensure they dont cause big changes of exchange prices. |

Ah yeah, the program uses Windows API calls to check which processes have created connections. We've got registration in there because we are trying to make it a paid app. If you have other programs open it shows them as well: http://www.graphicalnetworkmonitor.com/screenshots/It's not a trojan, just a simple tool we created to watch where programs are connecting to. I know it's not smart to take anyone's word for truth on the Internet so I appreciate you being skeptic about it. Happy to give out free licenses to anyone on the forum who wants them, just let me know. im not using it, sorry. |

'money' laws have not changed.. but it seems that canada is now talking about 'property' which would cover bitcoins too.. im still reading the jargon and putting it into perspective.. as its spread out under many paragraphs and buzzwords.. if your canadian it might be worth you truly reading it if your opening a business exchanging bitcoins and dollars. and as my footer suggests to get proper advice and not blindly trust anyone (including me) as definitive /gospel advice to follow |

ok seems to b another topic deviation.. but coinbase is not a proper exchange of buy/sell/buy/sell/buy/sell for profit.. as there is not really a good orderbook to set prices at different levels.. well not one i like to use anyway.
so why the hell are people leaving coins in coinbase after converting coin...
if anyone is using coinbase and worried LOOK AT THEIR LICENCING and also find out their liability insurance details.. (you should all have done this before putting money into third parties, in the first place). if not then your accepting the risk

its already been discussed.
when registering with a website. user can give the website a bitcoin PUBLIC address.. then when logging in the website shows a random message. EG:
"The Lamb Walked Into The Slaughter House. Bar Ram You. Splat! 1204856948447585 08/07/2014"
the user then signs the message using their bitcoin client of the bitcoin address they submitted at registration. and then types in their username and the signed message. the website then verifies the signed message to the bitcoin public address to authorize logins.
meaning although the bitcoin address is used like the password.. the bitcoin address is never actually typed in by the user to log in after registering.. only a signed message is pasted in as the password, which always changes and is also kind of a 2FA all in one because it is encrypted by the privkey, thus it cant be guessed and shows some user ownership verification, all in one.

i smell trojan just by looking at it
So far I didn't see such indication, emphasis on so far. But it was packed with UPX. I was looking for signs of...wallet stealing. The wallet does require a serial key, which is odd and pretty stupid. hopefully its just a map display showing nodes from the OP's machine. if its looking at node connections with the users bitcoin client, then it is hopefully just looking at network traffic and not communicating remotely outbound so put simply, without having a bitcoin client running does it show results in which case, expect some outbound communications and inbound communications to get data.. (so check whats being sent isnt fishy) or if the map requests you to open client for it to display results...then look into what outbound data is being sent via the mapping software. there should not be any outbound data because it should be grabbing the data locally, and has no need to communicate remotely. |

Canada just passed the first-ever national law regulating Bitcoin.
I have been predicting for years that the US and Canada will not ban Bitcoin outright, but seek to regulate it and raise barriers of entry to new companies.
Regulation = control.
The main targets for regulation are exchanges, whereby governments can track inbound and outbound buy/sell orders to compile national databases of Bitcoin owners.
The Moriarty Bitcoin Network will NOT BE COMPLYING with any of Canada's new regulation!
Dr. Michael Moriarty
remember the 'money' jurisdiction of canada only applies to canadian dollar as that is their property. if you as a business uses canadian dollars as part of an exchange with customers then you have to conform to canadian financial law.. that has been the same for decades. so be careful in that respect.. if your a pure bitcoin to altcoin business or a bitcoin to products business then your not a money exchanger, your a retailer (warning of possible gambling/securities implications). |

BADecker
my name is also not capitalised, shame your name is. but on a forum it is acceptable as words on a website is not a human being(man), i have already researched the words to use, but never been in breach of any contract between men, nor ordered by any government(corporate) entity. Thus never seen first hand common law truly utilized. but would like to see some examples of successful common law defences vs corporate legal entities.
i would truly love to start a payment schedule measured in bitcoins. after all common law does not care if it is pounds, canadian/australian dollars or bitcoins. only corporate court wants legal tender.
