~Andrew Nolan Scam
Time: February 2012
Victim: Investors of Shades Minoco, creditors of bitcointalk.org user "shakaru", investors of BitArb
Status: Andrew Nolan (thief) known but disappeared, repaid some (not included in amount)
Amount: Lower bound 2211.07786728 BTC, possibly more
Equivalent USD: 10978 $ (wt. avg price, rounded to nearest $)
It is a small detail but I think it is important because Google indexes it: his last name is actually No llan. One of his emails that I know of (he uses/used it for Paypal) is andrew.nollan@gmail.com |

Don't listen to LoupGaroux, he's a Nazi.
Really? A Nazi? That's the best you could come up with? Well, I guess someone willing to embrace the Number of the Beast in his moniker will certainly expect to find a lot of followers with that kind of thinking. Have a good life, 'cause your afterlife is going to suck something awful. |

This is definitely the sentiment here. This forum is looking more and more like a slaughterhouse. Things like what happened in the previous day, like my passport being posted all over this forum and reddit be nefario himself are a shame, and a crime in my jurisdiction. I had only verbally agreed with Nefario over my identity, but i haven't signed any document allowing him to post my passport copy all over the place.
Then I think both of you should check at your countries whether a verbal agreement is a legally binding one, if it is, only you are to be blamed. Like it or not, but your involvement in other scams is not unknown. |

2.8 BTC, back when I was mining, bitcoinpool.com withdraw address was changed to whatever, I wasn't there to monitor so the payment went to whomever. They said it was a hack, facepalm when it looked like they got injected and used cheap PW hashing on top.
Had a similar thing happen to me but only lost 0.1 BTC but the fault was mine as I reused my password on slush pool and some other exchange/pool/website that got hacked. |

How would anyone profit from that?
Seriously - think about.
Suddenly one day every miner (but 1) is unable to mine bitcoins coz some miner with >50% network power has modified their bitcoind to reject all external blocks and having >50% they might even be able to force that on the blockchain.
Then they can put whatever they like in the blockchain and cause havoc.
So what happens next?
That's the end of BTC - move on to BTC2.0 based on the blockchain before the moron who did the 51% attack
The person who did the 51% attack will very shortly have worthless BTC ...
Yeah I can see someone making a fortune out of spending a small fortune on ASIC ... NOT!
You really think any exchange is going to support a 51% attacked network and allow people to buy and sell until it's resolved?
The only reason someone would want to do a 51% attack would be to kill bitcoin,
but in reality that would only be for a short period of time - until BTC2.0 came out.
They wouldn't necessarily have to 'destroy' Bitcoin, they could just profit from their power (albeit probably for a very short time) by double-spending (they could withdraw same bitcoins in other currencies on multiple exchanges). |

I'm looking for a few beta testers to help work out the kinks. What do you get: Free BTC! Or at least a chance at winning some bitcoin on an auction. I'm planning on going through 5BTC total in a few auctions over a week or so. I'll spread around some free bids before each batch of test-auctions, in this round of testing you don't have to spend anything, not a single BTC. How to help: Sign up for an account at http://bidfast.co/ Then post here letting me know some date/times you'd be available to try it What do I get: A chance to test out the site. Hopefully, you'll also be able to give me some feedback on what you think. Details... I'm shooting for 6 batches of auctions with rewards from 0.2 to 2 BTC Registered few minutes ago, my login is the same as on this forum. |

There is a chanse that this product will be the first available asic, giving a single entity the controll of 2,6 or more TH/s in the first wave shipping out is irresponsible in that case.
The hashing strength of the entire network now exceeds 20TH/s. One entity controlling 2.6TH/s is of no great concern to me. (should it be?) Even if one entity got all 300 units, that's still only 18TH/s. Not quite enough to make up 51% of the network hashing strength. This is definitely enough to be afraid, as less than 51% is required to disrupt the network. With some luck less than that will be enough, e.g. 40% of total hashing power would allow an individual to perform double-spends if he was lucky enough to mine more than half of the blocks (+25% luckier than avg. miner). |

So, will anyone be getting their money back?  . Pirate's lawyers? |

I must admit this is sad that the Internet is not decentralized enough to prevent such moves. TLD .com is managed by Verisign which is based in US, therefore it would be prudent to move GLBSE onto a different TLD, with a registrar and the TLD registry based in some liberal place. It would be prudent for all Bitcoin services which do not require a physical nexus or an interface with the legacy banking system to operate anonymously on Tor like Silk Road does to insulate them from future changes in the law and/or extra-legal regulatory harassment. True, but then again they are cutting themselves from a big portion of customers who never heard of / used TOR. |

stop buying shit from government.
/government ruined
Problem is they are not selling much only sucking |

Is there a case where the registrar was based outside the United States and the .com was shut down by the US Government? The best example to the contrary is thepiratebay.org where the PIR registry is based in the United States but the registrar is not. GLBSE.com is not registered by a US based registrar.

I think we need to stop perpetuating the $5 million urban legend. Blockchain analysis in the 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM thread points to it being a SilkRoad address, so it's doubtful pirate ever had that many funds under control. with 459 accounts (23 of which are probably sock puppets), that would be an average holding of $11,467. Yes some accounts have been stated to be higher than that, but I find it hard to believe that there would be as many people as gullible as a barnyard animal to get an actual balance that high (maybe a virtual balance, but not coins transferred). I think it was already proven that he owes about $5.5-6.0 million (depending on BTC/USD exchange rate) but the amount he received from people is somewhere around $1-2 million. But that is a lot of money nevertheless. |

It could be arranged in a way such that only very established members' votes would count (analogously to the Ignore button).

With current hashrate (21.312 TH/s) less than $800k is needed assuming they bought Avalons at $2k each and decided to mine in China (to avoid paying duties, etc.).
Apart from that, Bitcoin is as secure as you want it to be, proportional to your knowledge and efforts to be secure.
