This leaving aside that BitBet actually has both the highest public bet in Bitcoin history (~1500 BTC wagered on one single proposition) and the highest betting volume per unit time.
I beg to differ.  Undecided

Lol. No but you know, actual bet.

I think that "scammer tag" for mircea popescu or for his delusional muppet MPOE-PR is not what we need here.
Yes,  it's a good start, but not enough.
Some people are upset about mircea popescu porn site, that uses the same .us TLD as his exchange, Agreed, this clearly shows how fucked up character mircea popescu actually is. (BTW, why is this romanian spammer using "USA only" TLD?)

You must have forgotten, that he is not just a regular wanker, who gets his rocks off on his picture collection.
Based on his bragging, Mircea Popescu is also also a sadistic pervert, a woman beater, who enjoys torturing and abusing woman for his sick pleasure. Based on what mircea popescu constantly spews out, his favorite sadist tools are whip and cane. Yes, that retarded brags about it in IRC. WTF! How sick is that!

Drear bitcointalk.org member, if you are so demented, that you still do not understand why this Romanian pervert is a poison tho the whole BTC community, let me make it really simple for you: "Every time you let that pompous scumbag take your money, you are directly supporting a sadistic pervert. You are helping him and other perverts like him, to sexually abuse victims of human trafficking and slave trade. What if one day, beating up and raping grown women is not enough for this aging Romanian pervert? What's next?
Are you, bitcoin enthusiast, really that greedy and stupid, you support this scumbag with your coin? If yes, please go see a specialist.

They say that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable to the primitive eye from magic. The corollary seems to be that for the average retard, competence is indistinguishable from being the devil incarnate.

The HTML5 phishing attack works on any OS, and for the monkey-in-the-middle attack, you wouldnt even have to download malware, just buggy software that opens an attack vector is enough. Vulnerabilities in eg Firefox tend to be crossplatform.
If you think you are so secure just because you run linux, tell me the output of

3244  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin splitting service? on: January 31, 2013, 09:21:37 AM
Would there be any demand for a bitcoin splitting service?

By a splitting service I mean, you send X amount to one address and it gets split to different percentages to W Y and Z.

An example use I can think of is a small business owner who has a weekly budget with a few employees in one division or set of employees, they send
the weekly payment to a single address and each person gets their set percentage. Like a bar owner pays 20BTC to the waitresses each week. They have 5 waitresses, 2 get paid 25% each, 2 get paid 20% each, 1 gets paid 10%, the owner sends 20BTC to the "waitress address" and each waitress gets her allotted payment.

What's wrong with just using sendmany or w/e?!
3245  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Women in Bitcoin - linuxchix? bitcoinchix? on: January 31, 2013, 09:21:14 AM
Right. We are talking about women just like men who are interested in the technology or just trust the idea of BTC. I'll keep this short.

The linux community you may not be part of but there are women role models like Kristen Carlson Accardi or Valerie Aurora both involved to some extent(or to a greater extent) in linux kernel development. Generally a minority of women are both gamers and/or programmers, although they are not that much "advertised", so we usually learn little unless we hunt for code commits.

Now on BTC the only woman(1 person) I know of that knows about BTC is Ladybytes. I wanna focus now on women who are in it for the love of technology, learning etc so if you know about anyone woman who's got a blog or shows interest in btc just on a neutral basis, give a shout. For anything else(like taking off your clothes and showing your body, this is not the thread to post in, you get the drift). Women role models in Bitcoin...I know I give you a hard time. Let's gather this info on this thread.(or a thread of your choice)

Women just like men...what's that, transvestites? I don't have a weewee just like men.
3246  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SatoshiDice, lack of remedies, and poor ISP options are pushing me toward "Lite" on: January 31, 2013, 09:20:43 AM
I also think that it is a non-issue. As one day solutions such as Open Transactions will provide secure off-chain transactions.  (and in the future we see Bitcoin transactions for the settlement between OT servers and issuers.)

For the record, MPEx's off chain transaction system (the PUSH commands) is already moving more value daily than any of the alt chains, and possibly more than all the altchains combined (course it's mostly LTC and NMC that have any value to speak of as it is).
3247  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Milestone crossing for the official bitcoin client on: January 31, 2013, 09:20:05 AM
The hard fork will be made in time but it will be a planned transition where miners vote by indicating their support in a flag in the block header.  Once some large (80%?) of miners support the new larger blocks and clients supporting the new blocks have been out a hardcoded date can be added to the client (i.e. 10MB blocks are supported starting in block 400,001).

Seems unlikely the 1mb limit will ever be removed.
3248  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The MAX_BLOCK_SIZE fork on: January 31, 2013, 09:19:23 AM
Unspent outputs at the time of the fork can be spent once on each new chain.  Mass confusion.

No, this is actually great insurance for Bitcoin users. Practically it says that if you get Bitcoins now and Bitcoin later forks, you will have your Bitcoins in each and every individual fork. You can never "lose" your Bitcoins for being "on the wrong side" of the fork, because you'll be on all sides.

This incidentally also offers a very efficient market mechanism for handling the issue: people will probably be interested in selling fork-x Bitcoins they own to buy more fork-y Bitcoins if they believe fork-y is good or fork-x bad. This imbalance of offer/demand will quickly bring the respective price ratios into a position where continuing the "bad" fork is economically unfeasible (sure, miners could continue mining forever from a technical standpoint, but in reality people with infinite bank accounts are rare).

Without a sharp constraint on the maximum blocksize there is currently _no_ rational reason to believe that Bitcoin would be secure at all once the subsidy goes down.

Bitcoin is valuable because of scarcity. One of the important scarcities is the limited supply of coins, another is the limited supply of block-space: Limited blockspace creates a market for transaction fees, the fees fund the mining needed to make the chain robust against hostile reorganization.

This is actually true.

(And the worst thing that can possibly happen to a distributed consensus system is that fails to achieve consensus. A substantial persistently forked network is the worst possible failure mode for Bitcoin: Spend all your own coins twice!  No hardfork can be tolerated that wouldn't result in an thoroughly dominant chain with near certain probability)

This is significantly overstated.

Surely from an "I want to be THE BITCOIN DEV!!!" perspective that scenario is the very avatar of complete and unmitigated disaster. The fact is however that most everyone currently propping their ego and answering the overwhelming "what is your point in this world and what are you doing with your life" existentialist questions with "I r Bitcoin Dev herp" will be out before the decade is out, and that includes you. Whether Bitcoin forks persistently or not, you still won't be "in charge" for very much longer.

Knowing that I guess you can view the matter a little closer to what it is: who cares? People do whatever they want. If they want eight different Bitcoin forks, more power to them. It will be even more decentralized that way, it will be even more difficult for "government" to "stop it" - heck, it'd be even impossible to know what the fuck anyone's talking about anymore. That failure mode of horror can very well be a survival mode of greatness, in the end. Who knows? Not me. Not you either, for that matter.

Its important to distinguish Bitcoin the currency and Bitcoin the payment network.  The currency is worthwhile because of the highly trustworth extreme decentralization which we only know how to create through a highly distributed and decentralized public blockchain.  But the properties of the blockchain that make it a good basis for a ultimately trustworthy worldwide currency do _not_ make it a good payment network.  Bitcoin is only as much of a payment network as it must be in order to be a currency and in order to integrate other payment networks.

This is also very true. Bitcoin is not a payment network any more than a girl that went to Stanford and graduated top of her class is a cook: for that limited interval where she's stuck with it. Course I've been saying that for a year now and pretty much everyone just glazes over and goes into derpmode. I guess it's a distinction whose time has not yet come or something.
3249  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Avalon ASIC] Batch #2 pre-Sale Thread on: January 31, 2013, 09:12:57 AM
True, it does hurt Bitcoin's image in the end.

I don't think it hurts Bitcoin's image at all. It is true that it hurts a fake image of Bitcoin that some people are enamored with, but the fact is that's not Bitcoin's image.

Bitcoin isn't a sort of Visa, Bitcoin isn't a sort of fiat. Bitcoin is not the straight laced, noob&idiot friendly, let's make consumers out of everyone and let's turn the entire planet into sprawl sort of bullshit. Bitcoin is Buttcoin, it takes it in the ass and thoroughly enjoys the experience, or to quote a pretty queer character in a pretty great movie:

3250  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] Gamma SatoshiDICE Pass Through on: January 31, 2013, 09:05:46 AM
not currently, I am only wondering if one of them will go boink because there are much more shares on the other one.

On MPEx there are 10,000,000 shares. All shares on platforms other than MPEx are derivatives of the MPEx shares. There are 674,520 shares issued on bitfunder.

Depending on supply and demand the price of bitfunder shares could go to any number unless there is a way to convert shares from MPEx to bitfunder and vice versa, and I believe DeaDTerra engages in this service regularly according to demand.

As far as we know PT operators are holding at least an equal amount of shares on MPEx to back the number of shares they've issued on other venues. This happens to be the only correct way to handle passthroughs, as nobody is authorized to issue his own S.DICE shares. Investors concerned with any PT or purported PT holdings should solicit proof, which is not hard to do seeing how MPEx issues GPG-signed account statements on demand.

In principle any op that offers to push the shares on MPEx on demand is by this fact proving that he is operating legitimately (as opposed to...hm, fractional reserve brokering, I guess?).

I bet it will be  Cheesy

http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1187

If you have an opinion, bet here!

You'd be a lot better off if you put all this effort into promoting the one bitcoin betting site which is actually worth the hassle. Let me explain this clearly:

On BitBet you are paid to register a bet. On all other sites, you aren't paid. On this one you actually linked, you have to pay yourself. BitBet 1 : rest of the world 0 : Betsofbitco.in -1.

On BitBet you may add ?ref=1youraddy to receive 1% of bets referred people make. On other sites, you don't (or if you do, it's nowhere near that much). BitBet 2 : rest of the world 0 : Betsofbitco.in -1.

If you want to bet on the house you can actually own a portion of BitBet by buying shares. With other sites, you can't. BitBet 3 : rest of the world 0 : Betsofbitco.in -1.

This leaving aside that BitBet actually has both the highest public bet in Bitcoin history (~1500 BTC wagered on one single proposition) and the highest betting volume per unit time.

The sooner you quit pushing a dead horse up a muddy hill the better for you. BitBet is the Bitcoin betting site, end of story already.

Ahahaha win.

I sent that account on grasscity a PM with a link to the loan thread and asked him if he made it, he hasn't logged in in 4 years but hopefully I'll get a reply.

I also noticed that guy said in a previous post that he lived in south Dakota, not California. His style of writing is very different to yours as well.

I'm also surprised you haven't changed your grow setup in 4 years, your lights would've well burnt out by then.

The reason I have not logged in for 4 years is because I never go on that forum anymore, infact I completly forgot the email, and password I created the account with. You can send as much messages to that account as you want, I cant logon and you wont get a reply.

Also, what makes you think I've used the same lights for 4 years? I've replaced them 3-4 times in that period.

Hey furrycoat. I still remember your PM's to me when you and your alts was outed as the bitcoins-to-charity scam last time - it was something like this too.
By the way, you're marked by the admin whom you want to consult with. Please move along to your next ID, mate.

I truly have no fucking clue what your talking about. Like I stated earlier I am not furrycoats alt , I have no relation with him whatsoever, and have never even crossed paths on these forums.

In case you have not done so already I reported your issue to the moderators.  Hopefully they will report what is going on here shortly.


Thank you BurtW I really appreciate your help. I have been framed as someone I am not this has completly ruined my forum credibility and is 100% false. I have done multiple deals here on these forums where I have had the chance to rip off. I am not a scammer, admin PLEASE reconsider.

Lmao dude...srsly? You "never go anymore"?

Post the full picture as it came off the camera. Oh no, wait, it's been four years ago and you didn't keep the original.

Post your ugly mug holding a shoe on which is written "Dear BTCtalk, I'm a fuckwit" with all them plants and lights and whatnot in the background. Oh no, wait, you don't have any shoes.

Just to clarify, is the us including Ben Franklin or excluding Ben Franklin?

Not only that no one would walk into a office and say something like that.

Let me assure you that in the unlikely event you'd somehow manage to make your way into some office I occupy I'd be telling you the exact same thing (probably right before having you removed by security, sure).

Moving on, will your credit union issue BTC passports too? Do you have any plans to bring the legality level over 100% in the future?

3259  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mt Gox Hacked - lost it all today... now what!? on: January 30, 2013, 09:22:19 AM
The unspoken underlying fear is that one might have their funds disappear and be in a "he said she said" war with Gox as to how the withdrawal actually occurred.  If MtGox adopts policy and procedures that ensures that all withdrawals can be positively accounted for, and that instant withdrawals to arbitrary addresses are easy to limit, it literally reduces the customers negative fear of unauthorized withdrawal.

Doesn't seem there's much better a way to do this than PGP really.

Your link is to my account on grasscity. And if you read the post you will see I said old pictures.

Nah, you edited the OP at 03:34:38am (roughly a minute before you posted this) and you added in the word old.

Also you are in Russia, not California.

Anyways, even if this request was fully legit, I don't think anybody on this planet would be stupid enough to lend to you especially since you admit you were 2 months behind on your rent and had to sell weed to pay it. Words can't even describe your stupidity, There are just so many flaws its not worth my while pointing them out. Nobody is going to lend to you. This ones a dead end, try again with your next username.

Lol @Blazr's mad skills. Props.

(Tho it may be not a good idea telling these idiots what they did wrong, mostly because if you do they fix it on the next pass. If you don't...they don't. Why not let them leave in a huff cause "community is evil"?)
