No particular brand of socialism says "Grind extra taxes out of the poor to bail out bankers." No brand of capitalism advocates that banks exist with state guarantees. So, bank bailouts are a feature of modern capitalism.

It was in 2012 (15 czerwca = June 15), you can also see it in the blockchain.info link provided by OP, and the report is from 17/07/2012.
The report looks legit to me in case anyone's having doubts.
Tytanick, can you tell us what response did you get from the police in regards to this theft? What kind of effort did they undertake to investigate this theft?
I'm having a hard time believing they did anything considering the fact that the Polish police is understaffed and usually not very tech-savvy unless there's political pressure...
I wouldn't really count on getting even a fraction of those money back, and definitely not after 14 months but good luck nonetheless.

The first one on the list should be self-evident, but very few schools teach it.
Swimming.
In Holland swimming lessons are compulsory and part of the school curriculum in primary school. The kids even have to learn how to swim with full and heavy clothing and shoes on  |

Them buying the coins could drive the price up to the level that they wouldn't be able to afford.
The only feasible way they could do this would be by contacting large BTC holders and buying it directly from them, at the same time hoping none of them communicate with each other about this. But as large BTC holders are usually exchanges or businesses which manage other peoples' money, and with many people no longer having access to their wallets from 2009 or 2010, I doubt the richest would succeed in this endeavour.

Just for the record, slovenia is central europe (and is in fact a lot more west than other central europe countries), not eastern europe, since you've made that mistake at least twice now already. ^ Slovenia's placement within the regional classification schemes for Europe is controversial.[12] It is most often placed in Central Europe but sometimes in Southeastern Europe.[12] Examples include the United Nations Statistics Division (Southern Europe),[13] The World Factbook (Central Europe),[14] Encarta ("south central Europe")[15] and Peter J. Katzenstein ("no way to decide"),[16] |

Don't forget the $5.3M that was not returned to Mt.Gox and is being held by Coinlab. |

It would make sense if they acted as an escrow and people deposited both fiat and virtual currencies. This way the sellers could avoid getting screwed. (they would still need to change some of their policies in regards to the buyers being able to claim they "got hacked")

How come some of the users of the forum have a highlighted ignore button (as seen in the anonymous user's post above)? If a high enough percentage of "very established users" Ignores you, your Ignore button turns yellow (the more of those members ignore you the darker the button gets). Some more info (though I'm not 100% sure whether no new changes where introduced by theymos): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68329.msg2382512#msg2382512Is it possible for anyone to get one? If so, how can I get mine?
Yeah, you can troll, submit posts of very little value, or otherwise annoy people or break one of the few rules that there are to follow, but in some extreme cases you risk getting banned so it's not something I'd recommend |

Hmm, I wasn't aware of anything special happening at the 100 block mark.
Can you repeat your answer with a few more details and references, for poor ignorant souls such as myself?
I think he was referring to the 100 (network) or 120 (client) blocks one has to wait before the coins can be spent (COINBASE_MATURITY). After a reorg, transactions involving BTC from orphaned blocks become invalid. |

Bitcoin surpassed all other feature requests in terms of the number of votes but take a look where the link leads to now. https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/6425/buy-storage-with-bitcoin-e-currencyIn the spirit of having one central place for all feature requests, we've decided to turn off Votebox.
We already have lots of active conversations going on here, and we think this is a better place to respond to all of your great suggestions.
Keep your feedback coming! |

Even Mt.Gox lets people deposit and withdraw bitcoins without supplying any personal information.
That is most definitely false. Gox requires ID for BTC withdraws. I withdrew my last BTC from Mt.Gox no more than 3 months ago. I have never sent them any documents. IIRC ID was only required for people who wanted to withdraw >100 BTC per day and splitting it into smaller chunks solved the problem. |

I think you can safely add this to this thread. Some of the transactions that were occuring on SR were legitimate in the eyes of law (even if they were a minority).
There is also the word "Losses" in the topic title, so yeah, I think it's a great loss (>$3M) to people who stored their BTC there.

If someone is to "steal it" (I'd use the word "retrieve") it only should be those to whom the bitcoins belong. I wish them good luck because so far the news are that the FBI wants to "liquidate them". Not the nicest thing to do considering the fact that not all products were of illegal nature and of those products that were illegal in US some of them were legal elsewhere (e.g. prescription medication).
So I think unless you were personally affected by the confiscation of the SR wallet or you're working on the behalf of and with consent of the victims, you shouldn't be playing Robin Hood because it can only give other bitcoiners a bad reputation.
