http://Bitcoin's Privacy Gets 'Failing Grade' in 2016 Threat Report

Quote
A new report by an open-source advocacy group has found that bitcoin users still face major threats to their privacy.

It'll keep getting worst as long as the likes of Sonny Singh keeps babbermouthing about Bitpay's well-to-do clients making large purchases via bitcoins like multi-million-dollar homes and lamborghinis.

FYI:
BTC better learn from what happened to ixcoin, when their large PoW miners dropped off it was only finding a block every few days.



You cannot really think that do you? Bitcoin has already reached critical mass where it already has passed the ponzi scheme stage and it is already entering a stage where it is already has a circular economy. If the big miners drop off that will be a welcome opportunity for the other miners waiting in line to make up for the gap. So it is not really comparable with Ixcoin.


It is a security Vulnerability nothing more nothing less,
Since BTC only updates their difficulty every 2 weeks,

Any of these scenarios could activate the issue that could cause blocks to be found intermittently.

1.  Large ASICS manufacturer drives up the Difficulty and then disconnects to cause a crash in BTC price (Shorting the Price of BTC to make money.)
2.  Someone physically damages the internet connection of a few of the largest mining Pools at the same time.
3.  Natural disasters such as tsunami take out a few large mining pools
4.  Hackers or a rogue governments DDOS the largest mining pools for a few days to prevent them from staying in sync with the network


The Solution so this is not an issue, is simple and the majority of alts have already implemented it ,
change the code so the difficulty is recalculated per every block instead of every 2 weeks.
But BTC core devs are too busy trying to get the altcoin know as LN to take over BTC to fix any onchain security threats.

 Cool

  

After this post it is hard for me to take you seriously. You are only trolling and spreading FUD especially with you telling everyone to abandon Bitcoin and hold Litecoin instead in a post right after this. You have exposed your hidden and real motivation for doing so.


FYI:
If you need to transfer fast , either pay an insanely High BTC Fee or just use LTC instead.
LTC is faster & cheaper with none of these headaches.



You are funny. Litecoin will never be as big as Bitcoin. You are getting desperate.  Roll Eyes

Wait till Vlad gets here and starts advancing his pet alt. First, let him finish eating his Romanian apple cooped up in some four-star hotel overlooking the protesters outside.

After over eight hours my third transaction just got confirmed but not the second one. Odd!

Speaking of who ^^^, here's an interesting tidbit - one dude who vouched for Craig Steven Wright being Satoshi Nakamoto was on record prior in stating that his job is NOT figuring out who is trustworthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mIcfxes8OI&feature=youtu.be&t=3360. Yet, that is exactly what he did.
3786  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 50,000 unconfirmed transactions on: February 03, 2017, 03:23:54 AM
At this time while BTC price increase and reached 1000 again the unconfirmed transactions increase also, it's already 70215 Unconfirmed Transactions, so to those who want to send bitcoins this time much better if you put a .0003 minimum fee in every transaction you made if it's urgent or you want to receive it eventually.

Hours ago I conducted three transactions back-to-back-to-back ALL including at least the minimum fee. The first one went through (read: confirmed) virtually instantly, whereas the other two are still pending, all three from the same source to the same location. No rhyme or reason as to why. Now that it's late, I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to move in my $4M home, tag my Lamborghini, and get serviced from an Asian hooker.  Roll Eyes (or was it three pizza orders  Tongue)

The anagram for Stochastic - ctc = Satoshi.  Shocked Shocked Shocked

anagrams hmm..

and abit of cryptographic math lol
gives you my brain fart ages ago

its not nick..
but i do love some of the theories and 'proofs'

the funniest one is using the letters of his name
someone said nicks middle name was thomas

NICK THOMAS SZABO

take the C and the B change them to numeric (c=3 b=2)
3x2=6
6= 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1
1=A and 1,1,1,1,1     (A and five 1's)
save the A for later but lets carry on using the numbers
1,1,1,1,1= 3 and 2
3x2=6
6=3 and 3
3x3=9

take the Z and change it to numeric (z=26)
26+9=35

dont take these out, just note that the missing letters are O=15 T=20   =35

so numerically we can see there is a conversion method for ZBC=OT
now take out the CBZ and add in the AOT

NICK THOMAS SZABO
NIK THOMAS SAOAOT

now mix them letters up from:
NIK THOMAS SAOAOT

to:

S   (NIK THOMAS AOAOT)
SA   (NIK THOMAS OAOT)
SAT   (NIK HOMAS OAOT)
SATO   (NIK HMAS OAOT)
SATOS   (NIK HMA OAOT)
SATOSH   (NIK MA OAOT)
SATOSHI   (NK MA OAOT)
SATOSHI N  (K MA OAOT)
SATOSHI NA  (K M OAOT)
SATOSHI NAK  ( M OAOT)
SATOSHI NAKA  ( M OOT)
SATOSHI NAKAM  (  OOT)
SATOSHI NAKAMO  (  OT)
SATOSHI NAKAMOT  (  O)
SATOSHI NAKAMOTO

i know nick is not, but i just liked this bit of speculation and wordplay.. put a smile on my face

Your post gave me the CBz.

As for my personal opinion, I have seen MANY people bitching about HR, management, business, certified people etc. What I have found in my 23 years in Info Sec is that those who "bitch" the loudest about this are the least likely to fit in a team. And THIS is an issue. Cowboy security jockeys are in abundance. What is needed is more professionals. A cert will not do this. What is needed is experience OUTSIDE IT security as well as the tech skills.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Travel letter from Craig S. Wright

This is so funny, almost laughed my ass off Smiley Enjoy!


Hello all,

I am sitting on a plane as I type this in flight some place between
SFO (San Francisco) and JFK (New York). I am not flying economy as
this is a work trip and I have laptops and other things sprawled all
over the place in my mobile office structure. Having power in business
and first was always a turn on for me and a justification as I can
generally pay for the cost of the flight in billable hours as well as
arriving relaxed.


This is not of course an advertisement for premium service flights,
but rather a post about the other aspects of flight with laptops these
days.

That is Internet access.

I have another 4 hours before I have to turn my laptop off. I love the
wireless internet access you can get in flight right now as I am
sitting here at 30,000 feet. I mean this is really marvellous when you
think of it. I have 4 companies, 2 of which are in the stages where
they are in need of constant attention and I can be there 24x7 even as
I fly now. I only have the small sections for take-off and landing
where I have to be internet deprived. As a work-a-holic, the ability
to stay connected from 3G on the parts of my travel and manage and
monitor client needs and staff is absolutely tremendous.

I have Netstumbler on my laptop, just collecting passively. I do not
have the Kismet one running now. There is another laptop here and I
see a paper on the security of inflight services - the GOGO service is
unsecured. Not even WEP. So for the work critical things I use the
Citrix gateway and allow those who want to see my browsing to
unsecured sites to collect away.

The shame I see in all this is that these wireless hotspots on planes
are even less secure than the ones on the ground. With more and more
executives starting to use these services, this is going to be more of
an issue as time passes. I see C-level staff using this now and in
time more and more use from high-level employees will occur.


Think of all that leaked data. For the right people, it would almost
seem profitable to hop a plane and extrude data in flight.

Lots to add to the list of things to secure…


God I love technology!

The financial markets use stochastic models to represent the seemingly random behaviour of assets such as stocks, commodities, relative currency prices (i.e., the price of one currency compared to that of another, such as the price of US Dollar compared to that of the Euro), and interest rates. These models are then used by quantitative analysts to value options on stock prices, bond prices, and on interest rates, see Markov models. Moreover, it is at the heart of the insurance industry.

Hats off to you Craig,


Sometimes you amaze me....I literally today just took on a case today
dealing exactly with this, you are making my life easy as I am gathering
(with your permission) this information you have provided for my client's
review.
When this becomes public record, I will post-up the results.

I will take any more information on this subject with great enthusiasm and
appreciation, as always!!!

By the way, for those of you who have never asked for Craig's help, you do
not know what you are missing.
I have asked his research assistance more than once. One particular time it
was dealing with abilities of cookies on the server side, when I awoke the
next morning, I had 100's of pages and links of information on that subject,
and variations and ideas I had not even or forgotten to consider (e.g. web
bugs). Why did he help, for no other than reason than he just likes to
research information, and possibly considers me a friend from afar. He
probably had as much fun reading up on the subject as did.
And along with all the technical details he included this:

Cookie Recipe Ingredients:
125 grams butter
50 grams caster sugar
60 grams brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence/extract
125 grams of plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
250 grams of chocolate (Dark is best for this)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds

Method: Turn your oven on to preheat at 180 degrees Celsius (about 350
degrees Fahrenheit, gas mark 4). Remember to take your grill pan out first.
Now get some baking trays ready (if they're not non-stick then you better
line them or grease them)......................Hey Presto! The world's BEST
cookies, in the comfort of your own home.

In the midst of this data exchange I casually mentioned that one day, when I
was in the position to not have to work so much, I would return to school
and my dream degrees in Cosmology and Astrophysics. Of course, the next day
I had links to every online study available for those degrees, with a "why
wait wink."


Further, it amazes me how Craig has a Blog helping to understand the rights
of US based Digital Forensic Examiners:
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/01/texas-pi-fud.html
And he is based in AU. He simply cares enough about the cause and the
industry to help, it has no direct affect on him if US DFEs are required to
have PI licenses!!


People of the past considered "Loons":
(Feynman, Hawking, Sagan, da Vinci, Einstein, Columbus, everyone associated
with Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: ...You're a loony.

.......you get the picture)  


Yep Craig is a Junkie; a Knowledge Junkie!!!!

For those of you who have nothing good to say; why say anything?

Dave

You can throw that premise out the window with Craig Wright Jr.'s bath water given that if I've done the math correctly, currently, bitcoins can be subdivided to eight decimal places, viz. 0.00000001, but in the future could be coded to nine decimal places - 0.000000001 - thus ten times more units negating "a stable supply". Similarly, ten decimal places, eleven, twelve, etc., depending on worldwide demand.

That said, this latest revelation is fucking with me and Vlad. Somebody get me an apple.
I don't think that would change anything.  You know why its fucking you up.  Because you need to introduce into your core beliefs the concept of a stable metric of value.  If there are 21 million bitcoin's and you make them more divisible, this doesn't necessarily effect the value of a bitcoin in the way you are implying.

I was alluding to the Satoshi-poker connection that was fucking me and Vlad up, the latest revelation. Apologies for the mix-up. Thanks for clarification on the other, for sometimes I go beyond just pretending to be a Dumb-ass.  Tongue

I now see others have tried to correct me. Thanks, all.

WTF?  This is turning out to be pretty weird.  Why is the world starting to accept this as fact all of the sudden? 
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-new-satoshi-nakamoto-rumors/

I really dont understand the reason behind this sudden interest in who Satoshi is or was? The crypto world is moving forward, bitcoin is leaving to expectation despite challenges here and there and people have looked for him and tired of looking for him. For crying out loud let the man or woman enjoys his labour or effort. In the near future someone else will do another 'investigative journalism' and claim someone else is the real Satoshi and others are fakes...
Exactly, its fake news.  Think about and the timing.  If the world was really interested they would be talking about Nash's essays about how an international e-currency with a stable supply would asymptotically take power from central banks to arbitrarily print money.

The Wright news was clearly a coordinated stunt pulled probably by a group that Wright got to believe it is "likely" Satoshi. They think they are being benevolent but its simply because they are "in the know" and are corrupted by the power of it.

Our community development plan is to make sure that people feel engaged and respected. Many of our team members have worked at large corporations in the past, and do not want to create an atmosphere that is faceless. From a grass roots perspective, we will make sure that as we succeed that we remain grounded and not forget the great people that helped us get the word out about the project.  This means that we will grow our social media presence, and as the community grows we will host live events in major cities.

From a business perspective, we think that meeting face to face will go a long way in a digital industry.  This means we will leverage our network of backers to provide a platform to meet with industries interested in Blockchain solutions.  This could mean doing direct meetings, conferences, group calls, and so forth.  Networking in this industry is very important to us, we plan to keep our industry backers informed on our progress, which means we will most likely need to hire an Account Manager in Singapore that manages these relationships exclusively.

^exactly, we are currently researching different approaches to anonymity functionality because the do play a crucial role for businesses

qtum-earlz [8:39 PM]
Yes of course.. We have been following zcash's technology

[8:40]  
And of course, if you are extremely concerned about privacy, Qtum will be compatible with coin mixers etc

[8:43]  
@changwu "Thanks for the reply! When will you start to run the testnet? Will be interested in running Smart contract on Qtum."

That's great! We intend to launch the testnet in late March or April

One of the aspects of our system that helped us raise our initial 1 million dollars USD was the fact that we will put a lot of effort into the mobile telecommunications market.  This industry never seems to stop growing, if you look at Wechat in China they have millions of users every day using the platform to communicate and pay for products and services

Q 16:   Hi guys, great work and I am very happy that our fund Jen Advisors is also participating in the angel round - we hope to provide as much support as we can to grow diversity of enterprise crypto ecosystem. Question for you though - what is your community development plan over the next few years, especially as it pertains to adoption from the business community?            A16    we will publish another paper   <   Qtum :Defining  Blockchain Economy >   part of the governance design come from    Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC), we will reveal more information about our governance model and community plan and business plan. Since Qtum aim to become the value transfer protocol on the Internet, For Qtum Foundation, We will only focus on the Qtum Core part. But we will offer a lot development tool suit can make the third party grow the business easily.  The original idea is Qtum will keep 10% token, to support at least 10 industry, include IOT, SupplyChain, Telecommunications, Social Network and Game and Payment, We will host some public contest to attract company or thirdparty developer from different industry.  Also our Advisor Board will help on the Qtum Adoption too.   We get some Big support in China, Since one of our Angel backer Come from KuaiDi, a Billionare with a lot of experience in Internet products, Will connect us with Some mainstream Internet company in China.

[8:45]  
extend A 16:  Also we have team members from the Top company in china (Alibaba Tencent Baidu ), We will work together to make Qtum been accepted by the mainstream. :slightly_smiling_face:

that’s great, looking forward to the governance paper from PWC. This seems to be one of the ongoing challenges that public blockchain models are facing and I can only imagine PWC has put a lot of thought and learned from the lessons from the first generation of blockchains

[8:52]  
Also excited to see a mature and sustained business collaboration effort; IBM/Hyperledger is on fire in this respect, and Ethereum is also gaining steam w/ Enterprise Ethereum. R3 is already well known in this area and I think that it is one of the key differentiators for success going forward

qtum-patrick [8:52 PM]
we have 3 senior members from PWC are working with us everyday. they help us on the Project Managements and Risk Control and also Governance Design.

qtum-brett [8:53 PM]
Great, ok this is really good information

Ok, if there's no new questions, we'll remain in this chat for a bit longer in case there's anything that people want us to discuss

qtum-patrick [8:57 PM]
we are keep an eye on all these projects, and we will make Qtum unique and valuable.  also we had a short discussion with Hyper Ledger, Hyper Ledger can use Qtum account abstraction layer to get the smart contract capability. Hyper Ledger was interest on it at blockchain summit demo August 2016.  here is the link (at the end of the video)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He850TP59SI&feature=youtu.be

Where is the light of transparency, does someone see it coming  Huh  Roll Eyes

think people put between 70 - 150 btc into this (just an estimate from me) first ico got like 40k dollar at this time 1 btc bought you 10k cadastrals in total lol (dont know exact btc price during that time but lower then now for sure)

then main account sold many cadastrals into buy walls which should be another 30 btc or so.

i personal still hope the project will continue, would be bad to loose on this one (and yea i see whats going on here...)
but yea things are like they are.

Without a notice, the sell orders from main account (=Bitland Projects) was quite surprise to me...  it resulted my ICO 1BTC/10,000 cadastrals become far bellow 1BTC value now. But, I will not complain if the ICO money consumed for this project, not personal pockets to project members. I want this pilot project moving forward for people on the land that's my 1BTC goes there and some gain as a side effect.

So, I recommend Chris assign somebody can audit financial part in this pilot project. I believe this is a mandatory when this pilot project get more attention from big investors and Gov. size backers which is supposed to be happening now.

This pilot project is long term project which needs a lot of guts and trust from supporters. I'm looking froward to see a light of transparency from this team soon, otherwise FUD lovers will here and there to call OP as a scammer - time consuming to read through posts.   Cool






On the guts and trust front, I present ...
