No, i did not want to give the Impression that bitsofproof is responsible. Tamas helped us, for free. He is an outstanding guy. the orga Team alone is to blame.

dear people who wait for the refund:
we have spent another 3 hours of tryin unsuccessfully getting this going. it seems we made it very very very (very!) safe a year ago to protect the btc1k funds from theft. turns out that it is so safe, that we now have difficulties of getting it to work properly. currently we cannot access the coins. we will keep working on it.
i apologize for the ongoing delay.
we will keep trying.
600watt, bulleric

they never hacked into his computers, and whether or not they can follow them on the blockchain is irrelevant.
Perhaps I am mis-remembering about the hacking. But, from day 0, the police can buy stuff on the site, pay in bitcoins, and follow them on the blockchain. That tracing could reveal if there were other wallets beyond those that that they seized (~30'000 on the server and ~150'000 on his laptop). It's a good thing for law enforcement that no one ever invented a tumbler, or any other method to hide bitcoins eh If the cops had any brains they would set up a dozen fake tumbling services, with unbeatable fees and spiffy interfaces; and quietly close or co-opt the legitimate ones. But fortunately they are nowhere as smart as the typical users of such services. i doubt that would be legal, atleast in germany im pretty sure that the the police are not be able to do stuff like this by law. (i mean from buying on SR or etc. to setting up tumbling services) i don´t know why on earth people would believe germen law enforcement would not act as mindblowing unlawful/unconstitutional/undemocratic as any other law enforcement body in the world. german government employes morally "better" people/less corrupt than the rest of the world ? i doubt that. german citizens more naive than the rest of the world in regard to what expect from their government ? hmm... could be true. |

Putin is in a fight for his ego. His propaganda reveals his self-image. To maintain his identity, he must not back down, must out-game all opponents, and make continual gains. This is perfectly aligned with his domestic political requirements. Expanding empire is good for the oligarchs he represents and manages, and good for his popular support. His most obvious weakness: Dependence on internal backers, whose interests may change skew to his own. We have a mafioso in power in Russia. He's more like Don Corleone than Hitler, but there are similarities to both.
Russian invasion of Ukraine at SOME level will not be tolerated by NATO. He has seized Abkhazia and South Ossetia. He has seized Transdneistra. He has seized Crimea. If he seizes Ukraine it seems clear he will seize the Baltic States. Hell, why not Finland? Why not assimilate Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan? We've been down this road before. Poland in WW2 had its borders guaranteed by UK. Ukraine today had its borders guaranteed by US UK and RU. If Russia stays in Ukraine, Ukraine will re-arm nuclear. NATO does not want that, at least not unless Ukraine is both stable and part of NATO. Putin would rather invade Ukraine entire than invade part and face a nuclear Ukraine in 2 years time.
To say there is nothing the west can do about it seems very questionable to me. Putin can be removed. Economic measures can be taken which would beggar Russia, causing him to be deposed. Military action can be taken to strengthen Ukraine. Political action can be taken, to incorporate Ukraine into NATO, or offer that as a chip to bargain against Crimea. In a political game, ground truth is critical. Putin is motivated to grab as much as he can before coming to the bargaining table. If he does that badly, there will be copious blood. The west has strong incentives to stop him before he gains more power, more momentum, and more bargaining chips. In fact, given his history, it seems clear to me at least that he must be punished. Some chips must be removed from his kitty, or he will just do it again on another front.
Where are you from and what sort of geopolitical disneyland are you living in? The US lead West, have been baiting China and Russia for years and will continue to do so. Lately they have been pushing things a little too far and Putin isn't standing for it. All these recent squabbles in Russia's backyard involve muscling in on markets and gaining a strategic foothold right on Russia's doorstep. Can you see why Putin or any other Russian leader (who hasn't sold out to the West) might have a problem with a great big belt of NATO missile bases going up right along their borders? NATO cannot afford to engage Russia in a out and out military conflict. Russia needs to be brought to heel or at least pushed into a strategic and economic stalemate position. The ultimate end goal is to be in a position to crush China, who will grow to be the US's number 1 competitor for world resources and power. A strong Russia stands in the way of a WW3 scenario. For this reason, the Russian bear needs to be driven into it's cage, and held there. oh and btw, just sit back and watch how Russia annex the Crimea and NATO does fuck all except blow their trumpet and wag their fingers. If the west pushes for sanctions against Russia, then Russia can also badly hurt the West, especially so the EU, and the EU won't like the US pushing for sanctions that will indirectly damage them. The US have pushed the boat out too far on this one, and will have to take a slap in the face with humility, as Russia does whatever it wants. this. |

banks = rotten economy (still ruling)
bitcoin = healthy economy (slowly but steadily eating the cancer, converting rotten to healthy economy)
as simple as that.
Fastest way to get everyone on this forum labeled as a cult = portray Bitcoin as the solution to all the problems of society lol. if you prefer banks, what tf are you doing here ? |

Wow. Racist, homophobic, antisemitic etc. just in one picture forgot to make this self moderated. one cannot even talk about banks without inviting disgusting arseholes ( who not even talk about banking. maybe they ARE bankers?) |

nice article by mr undheim more and more intellectuals in key positions are getting the message. he is not shy about his opinions. I disagree with his remark about ripple, but other than that it reminded me of reasons why i originally got so fascinated about bitcoin. this is big, don't forget in the everyday slumps of fighting in this forum -why you are here and how great it is to be a part in such a mindblowing experiment. Disruption can be a good thing, especially when it affects banking, a failing set of business models which, for all the tweaks, have been virtually unchanged for millennia. That is, a way for regular folks, as well as specialists, to potentially monetize everything, regardless of location, traditional market access and jurisdiction. Using the elegance of mathematics they enable almost instant transfer of value at almost no cost between two parties without the need for a trusted third party. The disruption lies exactly there: in disrupting the intermediaries. In the case of Bitcoin, what is being enabled here is not merely a new market, but a market of markets; a platform for all kinds of new markets to emerge. In it, lies the promise of a transformation, as strange as it sounds, greater than the Internet. Denying such a potential is equal to denying the reality of globalization. http://fortune.com/2014/11/20/why-banks-fear-bitcoin/?utm_content=buffer9e71b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer |

mr nakamoto...
created bitcoin to replace the fiat banking system...
precious coins...
fiat is weakest
his coins are strongest...
revolution...
revolutionaires tend to be less corrupt then average.
How about you leave some kool aid for the rest of the kids?  i put you off ignore for this single occasion. i know i drank the bitcoin kool aid. guess what: that is why i am here. how do you explain your unwelcome, stinky, non-edjucating, non-enlighting, no-good-whatsoever, fucking annoying, never slowing down, fishy, retarded, boring, un-needed appearance postings here ? *deleted insult* back to ignore edit: insulting individuals is not ok. i apologize to you. |

2014 = super shit
2015 = slow steady rise out of the swamp
2016 = new highs again, but not done frantically, just gently
end of 2016 = block reward halves, sparks new 50k-100k territory.
Is one possible outcome.....

Fuck...since January, anytime i buy the price goes down...i am hodling for over 18 months now, i hope the patience will be rewarded for us all
So you're hoping new suckers join, so you can profit at their expense? No, i don't plan to sell BTC, just hold it few more years and then spend by shops where they do the same as me only...What you are talking about - ponzi scheme - central bank or somebody important released new report few days ago, that BTC is not ponzi scheme...And if BTC will succeed, there will be no suckers, only the ones who will sell at loss...And to be honest, i don't care about people investing more than they can afford to lose and then sell with loss even when in the big picture the bitcoin is in huge uptrend since 2009...if they don't have faith or want to get rich quick, they should not invest in BTC Even if you intend to spend them, you hope their purchasing power will be greater than fiat's you invested in it. So, then again, you hope newcomers will increase your purchasing power (=you profit at their expense) Please give me one example of an investment that doesn't work like this? How do assets or stocks go up in value and who holding that asset doesn't hope it will go up? Just explain me this in detail please and then explain the difference with Bitcoin. i doubt you will rerceive a valuable answer from deadbrain. he choose his name not by accident. |

mr nakamoto
-could have been already wealthy enough before inventing bitcoin
-could be more more than one person, which broke up/having a fight
-could have lost access to priv keys
-could have destroyed priv keys
-could be a secret service project that not even the secret service knows about and already cancelled/finished/aborted
-could be dead
-could have had an accident/sick/stroke/amnesia
-could be in jail
-could have decided to live as a hermit in the taiga
-knows what panic it could cause if he starts to move the oldest coins
-and so on....
since he created bitcoin to replace the fiat banking system, why would he dump his precious coins when fiat is weakest and his coins are strongest ? he might not be thinking in terms of fiat accumulation, but in terms of revolution. revolutionaires tend to be less corrupt then average.
