I'd love a "hardcore" honey badger design.

"Bitcoin

don't give a shit."

Honey badger with an arm around Snowden, smoking a joint lit from burning USD.

(I get a free mug for the idea, right?)

Why wouldn't you just pay for them? You're blaming people you just stole ~$80 from?

I really doubt the government accurately identifies "justified homicides," so all homicides are included.

Really. No need to douche-out on the pizza-man. Be glad they aren't radiated steaks and gay magazines.

... Or maybe they haven't come, yet.

  This thread looks like it should be fun....

Please proceed.

Yeaaaah... There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that some people die from guns in places with gun control, but the US murder rate is 12x that of Japan. That said, there's only barely a correlation between murder rate and death rate in countries. It's extraordinary for someone to be murdered anywhere. Almost everyone in the world dies of disease, not guns, fists, spears, or bombs.

Cancer's killed ~25m in the US in the past 40 years. Guns have been involved in roughly 500k homicides in the US in the past 40 years. The Brady Campaign takes in $4m annually. The Kanzius Institute takes in $1.3m annually. So...... yeah.

This isn't fair, because Brady's the biggest, while Kanzius isn't (however, they are in the small minority of medical research NPFs actually spending the money almost entirely on actual programs), but I would argue America's wrong-prioritization currently = ((cancer deaths / gun deaths)*(cancer funding / gun funding)), or ~150%. The way I see it, we're basically 150% fucking stupid.

lol... Look through OP's post history. Looks like the forum rules worked pretty well.

Yeah. That might be it, but I almost doubt it just because the 1FRAUD address has >1kBTC received. This particularly ridiculous transaction shows a ton of other addresses in the person's wallet, many of which also had a fair number of coins, and have mixing/SDice activities tied to them.

The address activity totally stumps me, because it's almost like the person was trying to mix, but then there are transactions with huge lists of other addresses, almost like they wanted them to all be connected.

ETA: The mixed coins from FRAUD seem to come from https://blockchain.info/address/1LYZfBA7qHXCpbGyx9vmJE1XjucmrHLrQP -- looks like it's just some exchange. The relevant tx from there is https://blockchain.info/tx/def08b834c77c90ce389a2193fde7d9a79d08181406695bc4d5047f6bd1afa65

ETA2: Enough amateur dunno-what-I'm-doing blockchain sleuthing tonight.

Rassah, you're still living in like, 4 months ago. 

Use 2.5x current difficulty and expect it to increase 50% per month after. Still a good while to go before things start to level off.

There's a lot of mixing involved with the fraud address... Here are a couple of the eventual locations: https://blockchain.info/address/1Kf1nT7jQnFC7N3tSdgg5qKGTV4MucfpBg | https://blockchain.info/address/16CvEwBTGfE7zhxKK7dzQEqCG6pSHXfLRe |

The first one has an input from Theymos, so maybe he could shed light. There's not really any way to verify MB actually holds any of that... They could be donations, assuming he's even 1FRAUD - which wouldn't make sense to connect with the donation address. So many mysteries!

o.O Check out the first address sending to https://blockchain.info/address/1Ha43kjkronAPUUyyZNdsgfKFhMgv5Ct5G

There's one password in encrypted wallets which you'd need to send coins. If you were to lose the password, the wallet would be useless.

Maybe I missed the feature in recent updates, but I'm pretty sure the QT client only has a password for each wallet, no PINs.

NakaSecurityAgency. Naka in Filipino is "already." NSA dry-wit agents named it, apparently.

What's actually happened to Pirate so far?

Oh, please. That address is posted all over (they didn't even give the full address). Name, too. There's no indictment. As of now, this is a non-story. It's just the SEC giving an official response along the lines of what numerous official reports against Pirate have claimed.

Maybe it'll change - but as of now, there's no reason to have a higher rate of suspicion that anything significant'll happen over what was suspected a year ago.

Pirate met physically in-person with many different people who've come forward. They came forward a year ago. The SEC's failure to actually DO anything other than make an online blog post after a whole freakin' year is more reason than ever to suspect there will be no action by the SEC to actually prosecute Pirate. For all we know, he's in Venezuela huffing gasoline and telling locals he's the son of God.

ETA: Compare this to the Michael Brown case. His house was raided, with his wife and he handcuffed to their bed while the secret service was rather rudely kicking down his doors, seizing any storage hardware, and otherwise ruining his life. He's been indicted and in court for batshit-insane charges of blackmailing Mitt Romney for Bitcoins. Pirate, OTOH, is a known scammer of tens of millions, and so far has an SEC complaint filed against "his entity."

ETA2: I'll also say, as someone who filed a formal complaint against Pirate, that the SEC never even bothered to reply back to me.

ETA3: Maybe I'm being too harsh. I'll henceforth reserve judgment about the SEC's actions until more information comes up. I'm very bitter about a friend being raided and indicted by the USG for something completely fucking ridiculous while a blatant criminal is not even officially complained about until a year after it was proven a scam, while many scammers who've cheated me out of tens of thousands USD remain at-large, and the SEC didn't even fucking bother to contact me about Pirate..... ..... ........ Holding my tongue, now.

bump

I'm seeking a blowjob and a pizza. So fucking what? 

SEC hasn't given any indication they even know where Pirate is. (outside of him residing in TX at some point)

If not obvious... malware/phishing/ponzi site.

Don't visit without sandbox or at least NoScript.

Of course not. People see an official statement from a government saying about all of jack-shit and think Pirate's behind bars for life.

Waddyagonnado?

SEC: We officially agree with tens of official reports claiming Pirate defrauded investors. He probably lived in Texas. Don't invest in ponzi schemes.
Forum: BREAKING - Pirate captured, facing life in prison. Do you guys think it was good that the USG has imprisoned Pirate?
