4001  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New York hearing on virtual currencies Day 1 videos on: January 29, 2014, 05:43:44 AM
First part was quite positive

I like the part about mega VCs investing in massive data centers to mine bitcoins. They're concerned about money laundering via bitcoins, but when given an example, nobody flinches.

Care for another example? Have you noticed all those Bitcoin Miner product sites lately? Not the ones discussed on this forum via threads introduced by their owners, of which are then turned into some sort of flame war or scam thread, but the other ones. The handsomely built ones, with all the bells and whistles, with order pages in place. Those, those that you'll never hear a single complaint about by nary a customer. Why? Because the owners are their only customers.

The above hit me like a ton a bricks only a few minutes into that first video. Every one of those sites that I eluded to above can easily transact, then covert to fiat directed to their bank accounts, a quarter to a half million dollars in sales and, get this, the entities could all be registered and totally in compliance.

For those playing at home desiring to know exactly how the above is played out, simply ask, whereupon I'll pen a detailed post outlining the simple procedure.

Hey guys,

Sorry for my (yet again) unannounced hiatus for the past month or so - I have been extremely busy due to heavy travelling and am just back to Malaysia from China. I am alive,
although not really well and extremely apologetic for what my delay have done. I've released a few escrows I've been holding in the order of magnitude and those I can
clear within this hour.

bitcointalk forum coins (of 1000 BTC)
https://blockchain.info/tx/fe43797656265047b886de3bbac48d720cf60b4dfeadb61fa87434a80ba7f72b

I'll clear the raffle coins once I figure out who won as I didn't receive a PM regarding this yet, but be rest assured that I'll clear this ASAP.


I'll be back to clear everything else once I get back to the States again - I'm catching another intercontinental flight in roughly 12 hours which should last around 25 hours including
 layovers, and hopefully I'll use the jet lag when I reach there to clear the remaining urgent escrows.

Best,
John

John K.,

Please sent the 1000 bitcoins you are holding for the forum to the following address controlled by me:
1M4yNbSCwSMFLF9BaLqzoo2to1WHtZrPke

This is an official order. Your treasurer agreement requires that you execute this transaction within 14 days (except in certain special cases which I do not believe apply here).

Thank you.

This is one of their addresses:15D2pY5KJkv5yBcZEakgARFmhwYQ76hhFM

I was able to find this by guessing.

-edit-  Looks like they keep moving those coins.

How can you find anyone's address by "guessing"Huh

By rolling the SHA256 dice.

4005  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEO OF BITCOIN EXCHANGE ARRESTED on: January 29, 2014, 02:58:04 AM

Turns out that this is more serious than I thought.  Unbeknownst to most of us, Shrem was 'The CEO of Bitcoin'!

I only know this because of the wonderful reporting here:

  http://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/news.aspx?id=227147

One sure can miss out on a lot by not following the mainstream news.



So many mistakes in the following paragraph alone.

Quote
Even the CEO of Bitcoin, an online currency exchange, couldn’t escape the watchful eye of an undercover DEA agent. Monday, Bitcoin’s CEO, Charles Shrem, and Bitcoin user, Robert Faiella, were arrested on a charge of conspiring to commit money laundering in connection with the “Silk Road” drug website, which allows users to buy and sell drugs anonymously.

WTF! Even a YouTube video is entitled incorrectly: Bitcoin Boss Arrested ( Bitcoin executive Charlie Shrem is accused of money laundering )
4006  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEO OF BITCOIN EXCHANGE ARRESTED on: January 29, 2014, 02:25:45 AM
This shit ain't prohibition. It's tracking down fuckin idiots who think they are internet che guevarras when they can't even take care of themselves.

When prohibition doesn't work, it's time to kill and erase everything. You think prohibition is somekind of an ultimate form of state oppression? LOL this posh ass thinking.

Exactly what I would expect from 1st world retards who believe they know anything about 'government oppression'.

This kid got his ass burned because he thought he could run his shit behind his computer without any repercussions in other people's lives. His was a crime of ignorance and irresponsibility, and now he's paying for it. Crypto can be used for all kinds, certainly as a means to pay off someone for murdering your family.

Who are you all kidding anyway?



Kid can't even take the time to shave, and he wants to be a dirty money laundering kingpin.  What a joke.


Believe it or not, Charlie probably shaved at least every two days, but with an electric razor set at some minimum depth.

Will I be the first? Its been about a month since I lost all my coins, which was all my savings, and only income. I can no longer afford to live.

Anything you want to disclose before you depart?

Charlie,

I've used your service to buy ~10K USD in bitcoins over the last couple of months. I was just wondering if your process is going to change once Mt.Gox US goes to Coinlab? As in any reportings to Government/IRS. My question is aimed mostly towards cashing out, since I believe your service can move Mt.Gox cash/codes to Paypal. Which I can then pull out at an atm or use as fiat.

So much for the first wallet on the list above belonging to them: https://blockchain.info/address/1f1miYFQWTzdLiCBxtHHnNiW7WAWPUccr

Created on: 2011-05-04 02:10:49

But...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/11/09/the-11-million-in-bitcoins-the-winklevoss-brothers-bought-is-now-worth-32-million/

Quote
A lot of people laughed at Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss when they announced in April that they had acquired $11 million worth of bitcoins. The announcement came on April 11, the day after the virtual currency hit a record high of $266 and then plummeted to $120. Over the next few days, it would fall as low as $50, cutting the value of the brothers' bitcoin stake in half.

Since it was mentioned that all the wallets are somewhat connected, I believe more hunting is in store.

4014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wanna know which wallets are the Winklevosses'? on: January 28, 2014, 06:53:50 PM
Then help me find them!

Here are the biggest wallets to start with:

http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100

The Winkles own roughly 92.000 BTCs ("Their investment was worth $11 million in April at $120 per coin." Source: http://www.cnbc.com/id/101190181)

I saw a video where they stated, they still hadn't sold any coins, I'm pretty sure that video was from September 2013.

So which one(s) are they? Any additional hints?



Would be hard to track because Robert M. Faiella had them put all their bitcoins in Mt GOx for safe keeping.

"Robert, we're both new to this Bitcoin thingy, and..."

"Don't worry about a thing. I have two friends of which I work closely with on the board at The Bitcoin Foundation."

"Good enough for me!"

"Me, too, Skro!"

"Great! I brought along some NEFT to celebrate."

<after a few drinks>

"Well, you boys ready to sign? We're losing money!"

"Shouldn't we have our lawyer look..."

"Already ahead of you! Patrick wrote it."

How do you like them apples, Dogecoin? BTC already has its first backer (not officially yet) while DOGE is still chasing its tail. And you call yourselves a contender. DOGE doesn't stand a chance against BTC for the C-C2ME Prize.

Just found the above on the site I mentioned in the OP. Seems to me to be a perfect candidate for Bitcoin 100 to endow them $1,000 USD via BTC if they simply embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their website.

Don't even think about it, Dogecoin!

If you are one of my 1 million readers, hello again, if you are new, welcome!

My goal is to provide insight and analysis of what is going on up there with no favorites or agendas. I use sources directly from the mountain, public information and my own experiences to develop my posts.



Dogecoin's motto is "To the moon!" and here's their chance to see if they can even win a race to atop Mount Everest this climbing season, 2014, competing against Bitcoin.

The race consists of only two teams (unless this somehow morphs into allowing other teams, of which is quite possible considering the open-endedness of the name I conjured up): Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

The first climbing team, or solo climber, that they get to plant their respective flag (or some official flag) atop Mount Everest wins. The winner is determined by which team's image of said flag is documented on the internet (or broadcasted live, if that's even possible), using some predetermined time stamp (unix time comes to mind) as proof, thus it's possible for the first, second, third, etc. climber who completes the task first can end up losing to some subsequent climber officially documenting the planting first--a race within a race.

Bitcoin and Dogecoin can have more than one climbing team in place to better their odds of winning, and it's up to both to make sure that their respective winning climbing teams are awarded for their efforts, even if they didn't win the overall race, thus two climbing teams are rewarded.

Let the race begin!
