You know, between edonkey, gox, and ripple, I use to believe he was Satoshi.  But, idk, "secretbitcoinproject"?  I mean, it would have to be sardonic to call it that if you were satoshi, and it doesn't strike me as being in his humor profile.

Who knows though. 

If the producer knows which coin contains no private key then the coin exists in a known state.  If no one knows which coin is missing the key then all coins exist in both states until the quantum probability wave collapses.  Though the above point about trusting the manufacturer and thus all coins existing in both states is really not wrong.



Depends - was the tix mutilated? 

Probably Aiden from Helixstudio.   

Guys, honestly, we need to all stop fixating on little b here... This isn't a little b problem.  The problem is a big B problem and it makes all the sense in the world for the devs to take the time they need to patch this problem.  They have know they would have to for a long time, but since there is no existential threat to the big B here.  The attacks are not going to cause a fork in the blockchain, and they don't make it possible for someone to steal you coins.  That is the main reason it hasn't been addressed until now.  They/We have know this could happen but there isn't too much economic incentive for someone to try this attack unless they are trying to kill competitors, weaken little b to get in lower, or are just bored and malicious.  

There isn't a need for an immediate bandaid.  All of you that are afraid of people "losing faith" are talking about the price of your current little b investments.  Bitcoin, big B bitcoin, isn't about the value of little b bitcoins.  It's the ledger and the network that matter, ultimately.  At some point the price of bitcoins could conceivably be almost zero or many geometric iterations higher then it is now... none of that will effect the real value here which is clearly, "Big B".

They will get this problem fixed, but for now, realize, its more of an annoyance then anything.  For those stuck with money at gox, or who have lost money somehow in this mess, obviously the problem is much bigger for you, and I offer my sincere apologizes if my little rant here is insensitive to your personal plight.  I am talking more holistically and about the framework.  I guess I just wanted to say something because I am hearing people  that the end is nigh, really, imo, because they are worried as they see value of their bitcoins falling.

Buying for BTC.  Want 5 equivalent.

It is based on cap.

I seem to be the only one who thinks the worst news for btc isn't gox or russia but apple...

Bitches!  $1 lower then here is my oh shit level!  #honest

.5 LTC tip on its way.

Just buy bitcoins.  You'll never make money buying asic mining equipment unless you resell it.

Looking for highly motivated buyers...

Alex Jones isn't a libertarian, he is a conspiracy theory whacko who is just trying to sell shit.  He is useless.

What does being a "patriotic American" have to do with it?

Also, American's are not guaranteed the right to happiness, but rather the right to pursue it.

That I can agree with for sure - and I think I share that bent... but idk man, between the forums, and the satoshi square meetups it feels like 99% of the people I meet in bitcoin are libertarians and often extreme ones.

In an of itself, no... do you identify as a libertarian?

I mean, I would describe myself as a liberal democrat on social issues and moderate to liberal on fiscal ones.  I know that's like a complete anathema to many of you here, but is everyone involved with bitcoins really a libertarian?

Gluten free?  ;-)

I am sure I am asking to get flamed by those of you who don't believe in investing the market or whatever, but...

Does anyone have a list of companies that have beat on both top and bottom line for Q4 and raised guidance?

Thanks

Guy, I worry for you, with the blood pressure.
