Not quite sure how this relates to Bitcoin. I might be wrong but this fuzz about Satoshi is making people see things where they don't exist. I might be wrong though, would like to see proof relating someone to Satoshi if it exists.

Had to read it twice to see how did the owner "made profit"... I guess you can understand things like Bitcoin Magazine did if you distance yourself a bit from what you know about Bitcoin Good thing is that at least this is news on a positive tone and I guess there's no way for mainstream media to take this and diss on Bitcoin

Tried seeing earlier to what exchanges have the coins been sent but destination addresses are either publicly unknown or I simply didn't stumble upon a known address (didn't verify them all), very curious as to what exchanges received these coins.
I also believe that any exchange receiving these coins will most likely not allow them to be moved or exchanged further, not only for justice's sake, but also because exchanges reputations might be on the line with these coins. That's something pretty much no exchange wants to mess with.
Not sure what the hacker wants. He knows many eyes are on these coins, that they're easily recognizable by anyone, even with low experience browsing through the blockchain and that they'll raise an alarm wherever they're spent... These coins and whoever moves them are "trapped". We'll see how this pans out.

Only one issue with this post... CoinDeck
It's CoinDesk. Other than that, great insight, as usual!

If you lost both, you can consider your Bitcoins lost, sorry. BTW, this isn't the correct section for these questions. Next time direct your questions to the Alternate Wallets section (I assume you're using a wallet listed in that section)

Hello bitcointalk, I am a bitcoiner from Toronto, Canada and this is my first bitcoin service.
There's a Services section on the forums, better to advertise yourself there. There's also Service Announcements.

Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month. All right, bring it on. Until then, nice attempt from Coindesk to have a few more clicks on their website.

Issues have been far, far worse, navigation on bitcointalk has been smooth for months here... theymos seems to be doing his best in keeping the forum alive. 683,977 accounts (73%) have never made a single post.
The question is... why?

fiat is no better
bank thefts blackmails murders for hire pickpockets card cloners nigerian price phone scams phishing for love 'my love i need hospital bill paid or i die next week sugar daddies, girls marrying old guys just to get name on a will corporate money laundering the list goes on
the only difference between fiat and bitcoin is there is less (never zero, but less) chance of knowing who the other party is to slap them with a wet fish/court order.
so never trade with anyone you dont know anything about. unless you can slap them with a wetfish/court order should they do you wrong, dont trade.
AKA.. rule 1: stranger danger
Exactly this. This community isn't poisoned or worse than any other community... The world is poisoned. People are like this, not Bitcoin. People scamming with fiat always existed, always went to jail left and right, always were dishonorable. That won't change anytime soon, if at all, unfortunately. These are the kinds of threads that give mainstream media something to jump on regarding saying crap about Bitcoin

Feature request for Breadwallet to have the option to delete the seed, similar to CoPay.
Would defeat someone being forced to show the seed under duress.
If you start another wallet, your seed will be deleted. Went to check now and I noticed I finally have the "early access" tab unlocked

If the main Core dev team "breaks down" someone will pickup from where they left. Someone has to There are more people beyond the Core dev team members that understand Bitcoin. Even if there wasn't, there's too much at stake for many and Bitcoin would be further developed, one way or another, by people who really know Bitcoin or who are willing to learn more.

A question if a miner submit a block and marked as orphaned can re submit it ?
No, he can't. There isn't any "known parent" to that block. what are the chances a blockexplorer to shows a block as orphaned when the block is valid ?
Error from the blockchain explorer, or the blockchain explorer followed a fork.

Soon we had a situation in China which make some people loose their trust in future of bitcoin cos they think a government of any country could do something worst in the future.
What situation, exactly? The question is could bitcoin still skyrocket to $1000 - $2,100 as predicted?
Yes, it can. It might also not go there

A quick search on Google reveals that supposedly there's compatibility. Do you have btchip-python as suggested here? Maybe you'll need to create a new wallet for the Ledger to work as a cosigner.

He might understand. Most likely he doesn't, but he might... He's just posting to an audience that most likely doesn't understand anything about it, thus using words that are more simple to understand.
For Bitcoin to have mass acceptance, people don't really need to grasp all the concepts. They just need to have basic understanding about transacting, Bitcoin apps, addresses and security. That's where the focus on making Bitcoin simple and more ready to the masses has been and that's where it should be from now on

Interesting graphic. And to think we were once worried with centralization and domination of the hashrate from one pool... But, don't be fooled by better hashrate distribution since chinise miners dominate mining activity. They could reject new BIP, softwork or hardwork, also they could secretly work together That voting power that comes with hashrate might be a good thing. Chinese are so invested in Bitcoin that they cannot afford it to fail at any cost, so they'll at least choose what's definitely not damaging to Bitcoin. ... How then can they cash out their mined BTCBTCBTCs? That's gonna be one interesting business model.
Sell abroad (ie for EUR) --> convert EUR to Krone (within allowad limits) to cover mining expenses. Which just goes to show how cheap electricity is and the profit they have, to be able to afford so many currency trades...

There are many games, one of the last crazes was when there was an agar.io clone using Bitcoin... Search about it on the forums. Also, there's a Gambling and Games and Rounds section where you can get more information.
