the link leads to a page with a java applet. very likely a drive-by download page.

edit: confirmed drive-by applet. launches regedit to disable UAC.

Thanks, grue, assuming you disabled the link. I was toying with breaking it up so that it wouldn't work, but for some reason opted to give the warning in red instead.

Seldom do I click links in my email, and this one definitely didn't smell right.

Thanks to all that replied.

Russian video that made the whole world cry

2) Go immediately (RIGHT NOW) to your local home improvement or hardware store for rolls of plastic, Duct tape, WIDE masking tape and  a couple rolls of self-adhesive weather stripping. You want to have a roll or two of the type of plastic that is used by painters; (the kind they use to cover your floor and furniture in case paint drips) and a roll or two of Duct tape.  Don't deploy this yet, but if the radiation arrives, you'll HAVE what you need and won't be battling a million other people trying to get some when the danger actually hits.  You can use the plastic and duct tape things to cover the insides of your windows, doors, AC electric plugs, light switches, bathroom exhaust vents, stove exhaust vents, -- even ceiling vents, to TRY to keep out radiation particles once you know they're arriving.  (NOTE: this may not be 100% effective.  Houses have loads of nooks and crannies which allow air from the outside to get inside.  If you cover the largest ones, you're at least giving yourself and family a fighting chance.)  These supplies are available immediately at: Home Depot Lowes Walmart TrueValue Ace Hardware and many other retail stores.

What do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night and see your tv is floating? You take your pistol and shoot just under the tv. Then call the cops that you just shot a black man trying to steal your tv  Tongue

"Dad, it worked, just like you said. I flapped my wings like a chicken just like you you did, and we both landed in this house without a scratch. Now what?"

"Grab the TV!"

Would I be able to show slides from me attending the LV conference?

Yesterday, I told my cross-dressing neighbor about what I wore in LV. He then let me hold his new AK-15. Through the scope, the star at the Star 34 Family Restaurant never looked so clear.

There is a Meetup at:

Atlas Brewing Company
2747 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL


Atlas Brewing Company in Chicago's Lincoln Park Neighborhood has agreed to accept Bitcoin on a trial basis on the evening of Tuesday January 7th, 2014.
Bring your coins to show your support for this local merchant to accept Bitcoin!
You will be able to pay for your food and beverages with Bitcoin.
Contact jonathan@chicagomint.com for more info!

Starts at 7pm.  This is the 1st bar/restaurant that I know of to start accepting BTC. 

Does anyone else know of a bar/restaurant in the Chicago area that accepts BTC? 
I'd love to know if there is!

This Meetup is is sponsored by "The Chicago Bitcoin Meetup" group at meetup.com

Will Atlas be there?

4771  Economy / Speculation / Re: The maximum possible value of Bitcoins compared to fiat on: December 30, 2013, 03:01:54 PM
Total world money supply is ~70 Trillion 2013 USD.   21 million BTC.

70,000,000,000,000  divided by 21,000,000  = 3.33 Million USD per coin.

Max value of BTC is 3.3 million USD each.  If it were to entirely replace all fiat on the planet..

You forgot to add what the Fed adds daily in your equation. In fact, I believe a majority of countries also inflate their currency, ergo Bitcoin will forever be chasing an ever expanding bubble (not sure if no pun intended).

I think I got a scam email from www.11verde.com
URL: link with password because payment received but i never register here in the first place.
Do more have got this? When you go there and fill in the password they might possibly get into your email looking for information.
If not, something that I don't know gave me 1.something BTC haha  Undecided

Same here, and just started a new thread in the Technical section.

First off, I've never started a thread in this section before, and pretty sure I haven't posted in it, but now I seek advice as to what the following pertains to.

CAUTION: Don't click that URL unless it's somehow opened safely, for I don't know how to do such, hence seeking info.

Payment Notification Received !

Username: dabitcoinguy@gmail.com
Password: XXXXXXXXX
Current Balance: 1.XXXXXXXX BTC


It was in the spam folder, hence the concern.

Thank you in advance,

Negative ratings on bitcointalk.org. 

That'll sure show them. 

(Of course give them negative trust, but really, does that get your bitcoins back?)


It seems they strive to use social marketing to gather new customers. Everyone that got defrauded should make it known on Twitter/Facebook and any other platforms they use. When people check out these websites they do often click on these to see "reviews". Much more effective than bitcointalk trust system.

open in blockchain this:

then search on the site for this:

You will find it there.

Is it now absolutely clear that HF is this:

and this:

 Huh Huh Huh

Yes or No ?

I operate Eligius.

Since I'm not in the business of disclosing private datas, I'll simply point out that 1Nbq2XZaRsKknf5fcT2wTXvBS31PaUWSeX is NOT Hashfast.

From a public key alone, you could not know for sure who any of your miners are.

unless of course he knows who that miner is, which i inferred from his statement.

A pool operator could also state this based on IP address(es), fingerprinting the hardware, etc... or simply knowing who that address really is!

I actually know who the miner is... I would not have posted otherwise.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Of the 12 images generated via Google for 1Nbq2XZaRsKknf5fcT2wTXvBS31PaUWSeX, 1/3 of them are directly rated to me.

is impossible somenone return the refund at btc
no one company can do that

According to Cypherdoc (who was being paid by HF at the time) HF has been holding the customer pre-order BTC until the end of year (as they should since they are not allowed to use it to fund development anyway since we are not investors or backers).

Quote
they want only those committed to leaving their BTC with HashFast until the end of the year.  if they fail to deliver, they have said they will give full refunds in BTC.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270363.msg2894478#msg2894478

once you see details of their Miner Protection Plan and refund details all your fears will melt away.

Or how about a T-shirt with a giant Bitcoin Logo on both sides that says "I sell Bitcoin"

See, that's the problem that the OP is tryin' to solve: The bitcoin sellers are donnin' identical shirts as the buyers, hence the color scheme suggestion.
