Gene - what is such a leftist as you doing on this forum?!

Inaba stated that that preorders were not used to fund development and that outside investments (VC, etc) were taken.
Any proof of that? Who provided the venture capital? |

This beautiful 65 acre island has come up for sale:
369,389 BTC
Can we crowd fund its purchase?
Contact Pirate before he is sued and ordered to return the money, he should be able to afford this island (if he actually has those 500k BTC) |

Alberto Armandi is also known as bitscalper, and is responsible for the theft of 4K BTC from Kronos.io, once he is caught prosecution can also be made for these cases as well.
Did you guys know before that he ran bitscalper? I hope not.. I wish you good luck in catching him, it would be nice if more scammers faced consequences (most in our small Bitcoin world got away, I don't see anyone facing any criminal charges (maybe people involved in Bitcoinica and Pirate ponzi will)) |

Here in Finland it is not unusual to have 16A breakers in ordinary homes to supply simple wall sockets. That, and our higher voltage (230V) makes it possible to use electric appliances up to 2000-2500W without any special arrangements. I don't know about rest of the Europe though.
230V, 16A is a standard in Poland, in rare occasions one may find 8A, but 32A and 64A are also not uncommon. I only have 16A at home and 400V in the garage (not sure about how much I can draw from that one) but I shouldn't have a problem getting even 1kV. |

It's about WalletBit (which is already back online), not about BitPay, mate.
Sorry! I think I should go to sleep now  But tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this was not the same person / group of people. Especially given recent DDoS ''offers'' in the marketplace. |

Didn't the attacker state his motives? Is it for money, or what?
He asked for 1k BTC. |

I wish more people knew bitcoin at my place... I have only met some fellow computer geeks, libertarians/entrepreneurs, financial auditors and bank employees who have heard/read about bitcoin but even less of them have used it.

Gotta love the little liar trying to buy himself a month.
+1 And this is what pirate wants. Time is precious(ssss...) for him so he will do anything to increase his chances to run away without being caught / found in a 3rd world slum (lol). But it is understandable that those that are owed money will believe him. Let time take its course. |

From your own link. I operate a ~10k botnet using a ZeuS software I modified myself, including IRC, DDoS and bitcoin mining (13GH/s - 20GH/s atm). 13 GH/s to 20 GH/s on 10K nodes. or ~1.65 MH/s per node. Thanks for confirming what I wrote. You're reading it wrong lol 10k is total # of bots. A lot less is connected at a given moment. |

I got the answer. Mining gives free bitcoins. And russians love "халява" (freebie).
+1 especially with stolen electricity  |

Will you teach me how to intercept traffic from TEMPEST certified hardware?

 Interventionism never works. I would prefer to not receive any 'free' money from the government in return for zero taxation. |

I doubt the ASIC owners will allow themselves to be hacked and unaware that someone uses their hardware to mine BTC. Once ASICs are common (1TH/s for $30k) most botnet operators will cease making substantial profits from mining due to huge difficulty increase. |
