Maybe a botnet owner has decided to donate his rooted machines.

I read an account, I thnk it was on reddit, of a guy who found his machine connecting to tor and acting as a relay on its own. It was infected.
This botnet operator was setting up his bots as Tor relay: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/sq7cy/iama_a_malware_coder_and_botnet_operator_ama/

I don't know the impact on battery yet.

I don't know the impact on your monthly bandwidth yet.
It might not be that bad if his Tor daemon is not configured as a relay. (Not enabled by default)

If it was caused by NSA scandal we should see a steady grow starting few months ago, just after the first leaks.
My personal vote goes for an attack or software bug.
This was my first thought.

Do you think SilkRoad volume is increasing and this has an effect on price?

euro market on Gox is terrible.

right now bids are barely at 101 euro, which equates to about 133 dollars at the current exchange rate.
Maybe a sign that SEPA transfert to European country are faster than wire in USD.

C'est quoi déjà la limite du nombre de caractères pouvant être brute-forcé ?

20 il me semble ?
Ça dépend de la puissance de ton ordinateur. Si c'est une attaque hors-ligne ou sur un service web. Si t'es un particulier ou la NSA.

Heh, what a tool.

 Are you completely incapable of having discourse without resorting to insults when a counterpoint does not fit your narrative ?

 There is no need for that final snipe.

 Evolve, Josh.

To be fair, Josh has to argue that receiving less than you paid is good, and that waiting a really long time for your stuff is also good.
Don't give him too hard a time, it is a very difficult position to defend.
You and I had a similar discussion a while back, so let me ask again the question (slightly modified) you never answered:  Can you show that the BTC you had last June and every BTC you earned from then until now was never spent, or IF spent, that you ended up with more BTC from having spent it?

Actually, yes I could. However, I only need to show the opportunity cost of turning over my BTC to another party. That third party gets the chance to benefit from the rise in BTC exchange rate. I have zero chance to benefit from an exchange rate rise if I do not have my BTC. Whoever took my BTC has a higher than zero chance, therefore they are in a better position to capitalize on any rise in exchange rates.

We don't need to talk about exchange rates though. We can just take Josh's example: Give me 400 BTC now (worth $52,000) and I will promise you 200 BTC at some point in the future such that the USD value of that 200 BTC is more than $70,000. In other words, give me $52,000 of BTC now, and I will give you $70,000 of BTC back at some point in the future if the exchange rate goes above $350/BTC.

I have no problem with flaming war but there should be a dedicated forum. Leave the technical hardware geek forum alone.  Cheesy
