Wouldn't vinegar or a similarly acidic substance work as well? I'm assuming it's the acidity of the ketchup doing the work here of course...

Unless the guy totally matured at some point to become someone capable of doing what Satoshi did then maybe. But with a twitter handle like an4rky I highly doubt it.

A good effort I think. But I highly doubt this guy is Satoshi. He appears to have a totally different personality.

No way in hell would someone like this sit on all those mined coins and not convert a single satoshi into fiat.

Also, why not reward the people providing liquidity with XRP as a transfer fee to offset some of the risk?
2626  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Theymos: What the fuck is up with BFL and TradeFortress? on: May 27, 2013, 10:06:20 AM
Why not have different levels of trust? Like say I have Mt.Gox and Bitstamp on my first tier, and I consider those equal value and provide liquidity for them. And then tier two could be my immediate family/friends I trust. And then lower tiers for other more risky people/gateways such as TradeFortress.

Is the system not compatible with this arrangement?

Either way, I'm looking it over now. I've wanted to take a look at this book for a while now, and it's even more implicating than I thought it would be.

Satoshi is very likely to have come from Trinity I think.

Is the donation address to you? I wonder how Professor O'Mahony and colleagues feel about their work being released like this.

At least you are honest about that. Everyone has to earn a living, but man, I dont know how you sleep at night.
The secret is to never make an argument you don't believe or can't rationally defend and to concede when you are wrong as quickly as possible rather than digging yourself in further. I have also learned that extending people an almost unreasonably strong presumption that they are arguing in good faith goes a long way as well. The range of honest disagreement is much broader than generally appreciated and as long as you're not talking about religion, most people can be reached by reason eventually. You just have to keep trying.

Were you well versed in amature internet arguing before becoming a professional? Have you lost your love for the game now that you do it for a living?

I know you're Chief Cryptographer for Open Coin, but I can only assume they pay you a second salary for your work online as Vice President of Retard Management.

For a bank to operate as a Bitcoin exchange (i.e. buy and sell bitcoins using the money in your checking account) or to operate as a Ripple gateway, they would have to have the entire source code audited by a company of their choosing to make absolutely certain that it is robust and reliable (think FIPS).

If there was ever a new version of the code, this auditing would have to take place all over again.

Ripple gateways will not be US banks...
They will be Panama, Slovenia, Malta, etc.

"entire source code audited by a company of their choosing
to make absolutely certain that it is robust and reliable"

You can't possibly be an engineer...
And make comical over-the-top claims like this.

Virtually all commercial software used by banks...
Is proprietary and there is no source code to "audit"...
Replace "Ripple" with "Windows" to get my point.

LOL, complex leading edge systems like Ripple...
Are coded and tested by Rock Star engineers...
They cannot be effectively "audited" drones working in banks.


If you don't realise it yet...
then you and others...
are not familiar with my...
Doomsday Vision.

Haha I love it. Sounds more appropriate for a meat smoking business though.
I am pretty sure I have a name figured out. Not 100% sold on it, but I probably never will be.

What is it?

Is it true that if you say Atlas's name three times in a row he will appear out of the ether?

Atlas, Atlas, A... I'm scared.

You first.

I'm afraid the consequences will never be the same if someone summons him... Shocked
