I'm guessing the location (geographical, computer, wallet or whatever) isn't as much of a problem as much as access (physical, password, encryption or whatever) is...
Somebody logged into his bitcointalk account after he died, so he gave someone else the password to it. It's possible he also gave someone the password to his wallet. Maybe he didn't give anyone his password and they just booted up his computer. If bitcointalk was one of his open tabs or homepage that could explain it. So you're saying that a staff member here logged into his account? it was mentioned by hilariousandco and other staff here that they thought it was a family member who logged in.
On top of that he knew he was terminally ill for a while, so it's not like it's hard to believe that there may be a chance he gave his family his wallet password.
Where did I say that? (though it is more likely). If he was terminally ill why wouldn't he have made arrangements to return the money? Has his death actually been 100% confirmed? The circle is complete. Even theymos has been ripped off. |

You don't have to worry about Bitcoin for much longer. The NYSE is investing in Bitcoin. They will ensure it's price is controlled on a fully regulated exchange. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.  |

You mean after MtCox people still refuse to accept that the price is being manipulated by unregulated exchanges? Wow, clueless.

I'd probably go take a walk in the woods, to put calmer thoughts into my mind and realize how very insignificant my problem is.
I heard that a female joined the forum. Pleased to meet you. |

What we need to get the "energy" back your talking about is another big country like China. Have we done everything possible to promote Bitcoin in India? There's over a billion of them too.
Doing it... dont worry... wait a few more months  I know you're working on it but one man is not an island. There are more people working on Bitcoin in India than one can imagine. The problem is that, they are struggling to get a legal identity and hence unable to come up in open to the community. At this early stage, what the most of them need is "a bit of love". I have seen multiple businesses coming to this forum for promotion and being called as outright scam for no apparent reason. This way, the bitcoin people are losing their own opportunity. The Chinese & Indian can create the demand for Bitcoin that no other country in the world can. But, if the businesses does not grow there, if the bitcoin does not circulate their, if the bitcoin developers can not breathe there, the demand will never be created... It's good news that there's a large group promoting bitcoin in India. I hope cultural differences between the two won't keep Bitcoin from being as important in India as it was in China. The Chinese have very limited investment opportunities and are very big gamblers. I play Pai Gow poker with a bunch of Chinese friends and they make it sound like the Chinese would rather gamble than breathe. I thought Indian people were frugal and conscientious with their money, is that true? |

It's not that. People here are against anything that deflects attention away from the one true God in blockchain form. Did you see the sign on the front page of this forum that says, "This Is The Place For Sharing"? Yeah, me neither. Everyone here is under the impression that a free exchange of ideas that pulls attention away from Bitcoin will somehow ensure their holdings eventually become worthless. That's not true. It's not that any of the altthinking is necessarily bad but it won't be well received here. I suggest fresh meat, possibly at one of the other crypto boards. There are quite a few of them now.
I guess you are right and I failed to realize the unspoken rules of this place but as I said I'm not looking to promote Monero nor I lose time advocating it to "new meat", I think its the wrong aproach and people should discover it themselves, I respect your post. I think I'm best containing myself to the Monero threads. Good man. Best of luck. |

one more monero bagholder
it is just ridiculous how you are trying to put monero on the level of ehthereum and think you are inconspicuous
Your hate only shows Monero is on the right path (nothing can stop it, deal with it  ), i'm personally being generous with ethereum, I think the concept is powerful but it still sounds like a scam. Monero is pump and dump. No noticeable features except for HYPE.
You are pathetic and a fucking disgusting idiot  I need to write down this combination of words for future use. Succinct and to the point. lol Why are you promoting Monero to a bunch of Bitcoiners? Wouldn't your time be better spent finding fresh meat. It looks like I'm promoting Monero but my post was an opinion of possible future scenarios and just examples of blockchain technology that are better at something that bitcoin can do right now, I had no idea people here are so hostile to the idea that the use of the blockchain can be refined in something that is not related to Bitcoin, but its a strong indicator of reality when you know that you are not biased yet people show strong biased oposition to a pretty clear fact like Monero being a leading non-btc coin right now. It's not that. People here are against anything that deflects attention away from the one true God in blockchain form.

You mean like 90% of the threads here?
Glad I'm part of the 10%  ~BCX~ A legend in your own mind. lol Surely you can admit that at least half of the threads on this forum can be deleted without losing any content. Hell, most of them now are nothing but a rehash of crap that's been discussed to death for 6 years. |

Yes that was it.
Why "spamming/trolling?"
Did you read it?
The time machine thing was just a joke to prove a simple point. The fact that everyone gets excited with quick rebounds even if price is still 70-80% since its all time high after 1 year.
It's an original funny way to prove a point, why deleting it?
Your post was a high level play on American sarcasm that required a deep knowledge of the price history of Bitcoin. I realize that you were simply trying to tell people that the dip near $150.00 was nothing to worry about and to hold. You were showing that people were just a fearful when it dropped to to the sub $20.00 price range in 2012. This also exposes your limited knowledge of BTC as well as a better example would have been the fall from the peak in June 2011 to ~$2.00 each in December 2011. Things to consider 1. A majority of the people here aren't American even though they speak English. (<---- Brace yourself USA, it's true) 2. A lot of people here do not know the pricing history, so this is meaningless banter to them. 3. A lot of people here do not get sarcasm as intended 4. Nobody is in the mood for abstract cheer leading 5. "original and funny" are your opinion only. It was neither original nor funny. The list goes on, but at the bottom and most important is.... 100. The thread served no purpose. ~BCX~ You mean like 90% of the threads here? |

Wouldn't something like Darkcoin work better for the most unacceptable crimes against humanity?
Yes, or better yet, each unacceptable crime against humanity should have its own coin. Pedocoin, harddrugcoin, rapecoin, murdercoin, catholicnunbuggercoin. rotflmao |

Anyone know why this publication went under?
I don't think it's a known fact that they did go under yet. Tony Gallippi (or someone else) may have decided to dump another bunch of money down the gopher hole. |

Facinating, thanks. I wonder if my first edition will be worth more if they go under? Probably not, I'm sure Matthew is sitting on 1000 of them and Vladimir is sitting on another 1000. |

What a strange idea. It might work and the concept sounds reasonable enough but you couldn't really publish proof of burn too many times before you would get a nice big Secret Service investigation started for defacing currency. Maybe you could just emotionally destroy the bills by making fun of their inner child.

If you look at statistics, I believe most of the child molesters in the world use the Indian Rupee and the U.S. Dollar.
