Yeah notifications are worthless, I'm not gonna check my email to see if there are replies to threads I like to read. Needs to be a subscribe button next to the notify button, that will add it to a watchlist below the other two.

If only bitcoinica used something like bitcoinica.com or blog.bitcoinica.com or twiter to make updates and not a forum about bitcoin!
This is the real problem, there wouldn't been anywhere near as much speculation/trolling if we hadn't been left in the dark for days with no contact/information beyond what zhoutong was able to tell us. Redirecting their page to the forum with nobody here to give us information was just dumb. |

Isn't Bitcoin meant to be public or something, not 'public when you want it to be'?
It is open and public, you could have looked through the code to find it yourself, don't be lazy and expect everyone else to tell you the results of their work. |

Well at least he worked for it, sounds like he earned it  |

I was asked to moderate Bitcoin Discussion because of a decent time online, good history of correct reports, and covering a different timezone than the other mods. Got offered Global mod after proving myself to moderate that forum correctly and being able to handle trolls/offtopic and the like well.
You've been registered for nearly a year with 3 days online, and only one report this year so you aren't reading a lot of posts or spend much time here, so I don't see how you could be a very effective mod. If you're going to ask for it you should have a specific plan or idea of how you can help the forum.

If the plan is for the forums to be the primary source of information for bitcoinica.com, there should at least be a PR rep to answer questions. Who is it and why aren't they posting?

I can almost understand why he didn't send it back, as of this. Sure I can almost understand why, but the fact of the matter is he didn't, and that I don't understand. Some nasty things were said, but proving them right and damaging one's rep by keeping the money is just  |

As an official funding partner, I think somebody from Intersango needs to come to this thread and explain what (if any) is the plan of action to bring Bitcoinica back online and/or to refund the customers balances.
I have several pending orders from customers + a balance with them, and I need to know how to proceed. I appreciate Zhou maintaining us informed, however, as he clearly pointed, he does not own nor control Bitcoinica anymore, so we need to hear from the owners, and we need to hear from them fast. A lot of time has passed by now.
Agreed, this is being handled terribly, if it weren't for zhoutong we wouldn't know anything at all. |

In the "Show new replies to your posts." is there a way to remove posts you don't want to follow any more?
Afraid not, it's one of the many failings of SMF software. I have way too many in mine as well, I just open the ones I want to read in a new tab, and then hit mark all as read to clear the rest. I would love if there were a "track topic" that you could use to add/remove threads from there without having to post "sub" or some other useless post. Well you can always delete your post, that can be hard to do in threads with a lot of pages. |

Absent while there is an ongoing security incident in their company is completely unacceptable. Leaving the response to a major security incident to the 17yo former owner is, um....pretty pathetic, at best, and probably suggests that there is something more going on than meets the eye. This should raise serious red flags IMO. I mostly agree, I probably won't be using it anymore (haven't in a while). I'm disappointed that there is no communication beyond Zhoutong posting on the forums. What happens next time it happens? They take the servers down and we spend a week speculating about what's really going on while no emails are sent out to customers, no updates on the website, no nothing? There are too many businesses that rely on the forum to communicate with their customers, but yet a lot of them don't even have accounts here. I see newbies posting all the time needing to be whitelisted just so they can communicate with x business whenever there is trouble. Don't even get me started on the fact that bitcoinica.com just redirects to the forum.  Zhoutong/ Intersango could you guys clarify this issue so some of the idiotic mudslinging in here can get a rest. That's the problem, we can't get a straight answer, kinda hard to get facts straight when there are no facts. |

It's on the page where you register, twice. You even have to check a mark beside one of them.  and then this at the bottom  |

It was in this thread but appears to have been removed.
Well that doesn't bode well. |

One important question I don't think has been addressed here yet:
What about verification documents that were emailed to Bitcoinica? Were those compromised?
He said they weren't. That they were stored encrypted at some other server. Now I'm not sure if that was on this thread or on the statement they had at blogspot which is no longer there and nobody knows if was real or fake. EDIT: Just checked and it was not in this thread. I remember reading that as well. I thought it was in this thread. Perhaps the post has been edited/deleted. I remember something like that from the Linoide debacle, but not this thread. |

Damn it, this sideways movement is driving me crazy. Even bitcoinica fail cannot change this...  That just means you haven't bought enough. |

Why can't they just "disable" stolen bitcoins. I mean we are in the 21st century we should use the digital aspect of this to our advantage yes? this would also raise the value of bitcoins if we can say "stolen proof" also  And who decides what coins should be disabled? And who makes sure that those people in charge aren't corrupted or influenced? And how do they enforce it, and how could others be prevented from exploiting it? |
