"A statement released by the Tunisian President said five of those arrested were suspected of being directly connected to the attack, while four others allegedly had links to the gunmen but were based outside of the capital of Tunis, where the shooting took place. The attackers were described as part of a 'cell' but it is not known if they were part of a larger group."

23 person killed by terrorists  Undecided, this is insane.

I dont understand how sending it as a gift wont stop a chargeback,

I sent PP as a gift and got screwed over (10 bucks big deal), when I went to do chargeback it wouldnt even let me.

Big red letters, cannot chargeback since payments was not for goods or services.

If the money is in the credit card linked to the paypal account, you can contact the emmiter (or bank) of the card and "request" the annulment of the payment with an invented (but credible) reason.
3804  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Adoption in terms of users on: March 20, 2015, 07:42:05 AM
I guess you need to compare to the number of people who have a bank account and a credit card. Since BTC is easier to get than those 2, it has a huge future?
Bitcoin is different than a bank account because you need ID to get a bank account and at the moment you dont to get btc although that may change with regulations.
Credit card is easy to get with a good credit rating, they throw them at you but they also throw the charges to use it at you.

IMO bitcoin is waiting for that 'killer ap' to just explod in usage.
There was a good article in Times magazine talking about how many of the chinese public use Alibaba, if they started accepting it they may help a bit, depending on how they handle the income of btc.
This 'killer app' idea is not that bad! I thought about it a little and I hate to say it could be done and definitely can happen. But I am worried about
something. This killer app have to be some kind of ultimate bitcoin wallet. The one and only program you need to pay for everything, receive and send
bitcoins, it should be integrated with some of the leading bitcoin services like bitpay for example. But integrating it with services means that it also can be
compromised as well... And that is my fear.

Bitcoin doesn't need one and only one wallet, it is a decentralized ideology so more wallet, app , etc are needed (that's normal).  I think the killer app will be the smart contracts (not with ethereum) but with the bitcoin blockchain.
3805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust yourself to manage your own private keys? on: March 20, 2015, 07:10:14 AM
i would never trust a "bitcoin bank" with any of my funds. i fully trust myself into managing my private keys thus my funds.
there is a saying : with bitcoin you have a bank in your pocket. my pocket. and that's how i like it.

Bitcoin bank is an useless thing and especially not compatible with the bitcoin ideology. I have read in a lot of site "be your own bank" because a wallet unders some circumstances is considered your own bank, so it's not necessary a real bank with a lot of bitcoin (it will be a good target for malicious user).

Thanks for the attention.

Buying BTC with Paypal, 100 euros. escrow is a must.

Do you have another method of payment or only paypal? As KWH said, paypal is not very secure (for who will sell bitcoin).

Some time ago I took part in a dispute about feasibility of decentralized autonomous organizations/corporations. Is there a really working DAO/DAC somewhere? Autonomous is the key word here.

Wait a few days and you will see ethereum  Roll Eyes, and after 1 week a fork and a lot of another sidechains work more better then 'ethereum'. I can suggest you to check oraclize (work on the bitcoin blockchain). Link : https://oraclized:oraclized@www.oraclize.it  (Still in beta).

He wants you to download pdf files. There's no "offer" as he hasn't even provided a valid tracking link.

He wants downloads on infected pdf files, beware he'll send you VirusTotal scans saying they're clean but of course you can make infected files undetectable quite easily nowadays.

Don't fall for it.

Can you prove what did you say? Maybe put the link here between the tag code. I would like to scan it and open on another 'machine'.

Thanks.
3811  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to detect double spending? on: March 19, 2015, 05:31:33 PM
AFAIK check whether input(s) of transaction you received is really UTXO(s) i.e. check whether input of the transaction is spent in another transaction. If yes, then second transaction is a double spend.

Transactions which got 1 confirmation is hard to double spend but as a matter of security, atleast 2 confirmation for deposits is recommended.

Second or first , it depends of how much fee will you put in those transactions. If you want to "play" or better do some double spend, try this site : http://gangsta.strangled.net/  (create new addresses, don't use your personal bitcoin daily address).
3812  Other / Meta / Re: Missing email notifications on: March 19, 2015, 05:05:07 PM
I'm subscribed to a couple of boards like the altcoin announcements section and have email notifications enabled but for some new threads I don't get notifications at all. I'm not sure if maybe these threads were created somewhere else and have been moved or why but sometimes there are no emails whatsoever (not in spam, etc). I'm using gmail.

For example, I haven't received an email about this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=994869.0 and this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996096.0 while I did receive one about this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996567.0

So why is that?

Are you using hotmal as e-mail provider ? Check this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949175.0   Here the reply from theymos:

It seems that hotmail.com is silently dropping forum emails for some reason, even though they say via SMTP that they're accepting the emails. You should complain to them.
3813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust yourself to manage your own private keys? on: March 19, 2015, 04:22:40 PM
Why is this relevant? You shouldn't be reusing addresses anyway.

Reusing address(es) is a privacy problem and also it may expose your private key due to reused R values. Overall, it isn't wrong to reuse address but using address in a buggy client usually isn't a good idea.
Is it a problem to recieve payments as well? How are you supposed to not repeat your address for example if you are in a sig campaing? gotta be the same always.

It's no security issue to reuse for receiving money

There is no security issue to reuse even if you send money from an address. Quantuum computers do not exist !!!! The only issue with reusing is privacy.
Oh I get it now, so you can freely use the same account, people just do it to not be traceable on the blockchain I guess.

Did you mean address? Yes you can use your bitcoin address many times as you want the problem of the privacy is when you "link" your address to your forum account or your real identity.
3814  Other / Meta / Re: Account UNIBTC hacked/stolen on: March 19, 2015, 04:06:15 PM
Im guessing i cant get this account back  Cry

You might be waiting awhile. I suggest moving on to another account because there is no guarantee you will get your account back.

The account is almost worthless with all the negative feedback. Not something I would recommend but how about trying to make a deal with the hacker to get it back.

I have seen the quickseller negative trust : previous owner of account claims his account was hacked. Will remove upon seeing evidence the account was sold.


Maybe it is really a sold account and the previous owner (not the original owner) is trying to get-back it. In these days we have seen a lot of "hacked forum accounts" and the buying & selling of them is very risky (as business).

The better thing (in my opinion) is to use a new address each transaction, if someone knows your private key "owns" your bitcoin. It is a "strange" concept but it is normal. The best thing as I said is to use a new bitcoin address every transaction and after collect them in a wallet.

Can some trusted member please Confirm that the blockchain message is correct and all good because am not so sure , since anyone can ask for a public message in bitcoin.

It's really getting annoying for me to keep the account! If someone vouches that i won't be responsible for it anymore even if this is not real owner , i will return it ! because his proof is not so good

A bitcoin address is better, but if he has never posted one here at bitcointalk.org  then in this case I don't know what you should do. The buying/selling of account is a serious and risky activity.

The scam or scam attempt are not moderated by the staff (at the moment). There are a lot of users that give a negative trusts to all the suspicious users (for prevent any type of scam).

he is not asking for the scam or likely scam to be removed rather ask something like a newbie jail targett ed only for marketplace boards


There are many newbies who create multiple accounts to scam members who are unaware of the use of escrow and so I would request if there could be some kind of restriction in that section for newbies and junior members, it would reduce the scams. It's just a request.

Partial agree, most scams/scam attempts are done with new account, but IMO, this will just create some kind of discrimination to the lower rank, as not all people tend to spend time here and increase their account rank, there could be some legit newbies doing some business here

With moderated I meant, not endorsed by the Staff. If a legit person wants to sell an item and create a new account (maybe for personal reason) then he will not be able to post in the marketplace board.

I agree with you, there are a lot of "scammer" that want only to cheat, but if the staff put this restriction also the newbie jail should return.
