For somebody who is lecturing Theymos, it seems you don't really understand what has happened here. There is no list of passwords to hand out and it would be a terrible idea to do so even if it was possible. When bitcointalk was hacked they stole encrypted hashes of the passwords, possibly with a seed, so even the hackers would have a hard time finding out the real password.

Other websites are probably getting hacked and the passwords are being used to login to accounts here. There is little the staff here can do when accounts are being traded, if you ban the sellers it will simply go underground and this would be more dangerous as it hides the problem.

Now, personally I think it is a bad idea allowing email address or username to be used to login. It should just be the username. It is possible that two factor authentication, like text message pincodes, could help - but it might prevent large groups of people from using the site.

"Don't attribute to malice, that which can be adequately explained by incompetence."

I'm not accusing the bitcointalk staff of incompetence, rather the users of this forum. You'll find that many people will re-use the same password across dozens of different websites and wonder why many of their accounts get hacked at the same time. There are lots of sites out there which are sharing hacked user records from all over the internet and making it easier for people to try them elsewhere.

What do you mean "administration like ours"? The staff don't work for you, remember you are a guest here and are free to leave at any time.

You'll find a job, just keep looking. They might have done you a favour by turning you down for custodial officer, it can be a very dangerous job around some nasty people. Try all the supermarkets, shops, fast food places and nursing homes in your area. Just take each interview as a learning experience, make your CV as impressive as possible, it'll be tough to be rejected but you'll definitely find one in the end.

It probably is a bubble, but if people are actually using it for trading and more companies are accepting it - then maybe it has just reached the correct value. Nobody can predict the direction it is heading, but any investment that is jumping hundreds of percent in value each year is highly risky.

It is a record high, of course there will be a large group of investors who had $6,000 as a target and want to cash out as early as possible. You cannot expect it to keep going up forever without any reversals. I think the grow it has seen in the last couple years is phenomenal, yet people still complain..

What are you talking about? If you are trading bitcoin, it is all about timing and you'll get no sympathy for buying in at the top of the market. Is 3 days away a long time? Nope. If you're trying to cash out ahead of some sort of event, leave plenty of time and not until the last minute.

This looks like a set up for "Here, check out this great bit of software for trading cryptocurrencies". Which in actual fact is a trojan designed to steal any wallets stored on the persons PC. If you are that new to bitcoin, stick with researching websites like coindesk.com and do not download anything people are advertising to do with cryptocurrency.

You write like a Russian propaganda agent, always crying about how some piece of the west is going to fall and the world will be a better place for it. It is so obvious and transparent. Hollywood will be king of western movie making for many decades to come, albeit some of the companies are being bought out by China, let's hope that your beloved censorship does not creep in too far.

They might be based in the US, that doesn't necessarily mean they are *actively* regulated. They are subject to US laws but if you pay enough to the right lawyers they can keep you out of jail for most crimes. I don't see any agency actively regulating cryptocurrency, the is more of a "light touch" approach and shutting down the worst cases of criminal behaviour

Sellers that give vague answers tend to be hiding something, and despite all the protests from the OP that the tickets are legitimate - anybody offering 40%-80% off an airline ticket is running a scam. They either don't have anything to sell, are trying to fool people who usually vastly overpay for tickets, are using stolen cards to buy the tickets or have hijacked someones airline points account.

Yes, they may have lowered their standards or given cryptocoins more credit after a certain date. It is speculation, but the incentive is there for them to get more customers if the grades are higher.

Somebody has offered the stated price and said payment will be sent shortly, so the coin is now sold.

I bought it 4/6/2015, so probably a little while before then. I read that ANACs started spiking the grades shortly afterwards.

You should decide whether you are going to sell or keep them first. If you want to sell then go to a place like localbitcoins.com or coinbase.com, you'll get the best rates there. I do find it curious how you could figure out how to buy them when they were first launching 7 years ago, but struggle to sell them now. Your writing style is.. Nigerian Prince-ish.

Thanks. All private messages have been responded to, the offers are close to the target but just a little bit low

I'm not sure you will get much sympathy here and only Paypal will be able to help you in this situation. This is why everyone will tell you not to trade a reversible currency (Paypal funds) for an irreversible currency (Bitcoin). You might have to take it as an expensive lesson to learn, it depends how much information you can find on the user and possibly file a police complaint.

Which country is the Paypal user based in?

Due to a recent auction, I am going to place the BIN price at 0.40 btc. Offers are welcome, no lowballing.





Delivery rate will be charged at cost based on location and tracking method. Coin is in the EU.

International law does not exist in Russia, so you are better off avoiding using any business from this country. You'll either lose your money, identity documents or both.

I'm confused why you would drag up a thread that was dead for 2 years with such information. Unless you are trying to spam propaganda or try to disrupt the price of bitcoin right now. Be suspicious and stay vigilant.

What happened::

I have used coinurl for a couple years now and at the beginning it was brilliant, they used to pay out every 2-3 days and all was good. That has all changed, it seems that greed has gotten the better of them and they are now keeping money earned by publishers. The visitor traffic I am sending them has been the same since the beginning but the payments have stopped.

They have a two step cashout process, whereby clicks are verified first (done on 30th of July) and then a withdrawal transaction is requested after that (done on 6th of August). Before these recent events, I'd maybe filed 2-3 helpdesk tickets and they all received a reply within a couple days. Since this issue started, I have filed 2 helpdesk tickets and they have just been ignored.

I don't mind waiting, but it feels like they have lost all interest in supporting the publishers that help them earn money. They want the revenue stream but not any work involved.

Have you thought about trading in and giving better rates for Player Unknown: Battleground items? It seems just as popular, if not more so, than games like CS:GO. I've got a bunch and am considering selling, but at a potential 50% of value it wouldn't seem worth it
