Laurelai 1034 points 17 hours ago* Ryan Cleary was the ircop of encyclopediadramatica.ch lulzsec simply had a channel on there, he is not part of lulzsec, i hung out there with the other thousand or so people on that irc, ryan wasnt involved with lulzsec's operations, just gave them a channel, kind of a shitty deal to get v& over an irc channel.. Edit: Don't believe me? Just watch twitter and wait for lulzsec to tweet and remember i told you so. Edit more evidence: https://twitter.com/#!/anonesc/status/83148535796740096 Edit more stuff: https://twitter.com/#!/anonymouSabu/status/83159348712452096 EDIT I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO: https://twitter.com/#!/LulzSec/status/83164092998758400 |

well, this has all already been debated ad nauseam, so let me try to make a somewhat different claim that might be novel:
there's little evidence that any advice to buy or sell ever posted in this forum has influenced the short-term price of bitcoins.
maybe that should suggest that people stop wasting their time trying ineffectively to manipulate the market - on both sides, of course!
When I predicted the price would go to 0, even making a whole thread about it, it actually did 2 days later. So you are completely wrong. |

Is here a developer of the default client? Could that be implemented in the next release?
It's open source. Maybe you could implement it and submit a pull request? |

I'm changing mine to 18.3. Many people will be withdrawing their Bitcoins instead of selling to all the new money flowing in.
Staying with this still. |

 Bitcoin since beginning.  Bitcoin last 30 days.  Mtgox last 30 days. Do you guys think this trend will continue? Will search volume for Bitcoin overtake almost everything else, and will it never exit the news? |
|
|

yeah. sha-256 gets broken and the first thing the guy does is steal 350 bitcoins.
HEY! that could be almost $6000!
Isn't that 6x more than what the last hacker got? |

Does nobody understand statistics and probabilities here?
Would you say a roulette wheel was rigged if it came up black 10 times in a row? Even worse, would you bet heavily on red for the next spin?
Every single block generation is a separate occurrence, estimates of total hashing speed are based on a very simple formula for average time to solve a block over X number of blocks vs current difficulty. A lucky string or two of quickly solved blocks will make it look like hashing power went through the roof. An unlucky string of blocks taking an hour to solve would make it look like hashing power dropped off considerably.
I would say it is rigged if someone empties the casino and a couple day later the roulette wheel 'coincidentally' comes up black a highly unusual number of times in a row. |

No. It's statistics. We've been at it 2 years, and there's gargantuan amounts of processing power behind this. It was bound to happen eventually.
Eventually = right after a series of high profile hacks. Interesting. |
|

Are you sure it is the same person/address? AFAIK, this could happen at any time due to the nature of the hashing process, it just usually doesn't...
7 in a row though, when the average time between is 10 minutes? The chance of it happening randomly is infinitesimal. Someone is clearly gaming the system somehow. |

He keeps blowing circuits and running to a new outlet to try.
Maybe he's on 56k and his mom had to use the phone. |

Why are there no more for the last 30 minutes, according to that site? Am I missing something?
edit:
2 just appeared but there is still a big gap.

I think a time traveler from 2028 brought his new PS8 and plugged it in.

The standard answer I have seen is that the Statistics go out of whack briefly when the difficulty goes up. Presumably the calculation assumes that all previous (N) blocks were of the same difficulty.
Edit: I stand corrected.
The difficulty didn't go up today or yesterday though, right? |

Is there a Bitcoin services directory?
I would check out this site called www.bitcoin.org . |

It's so funny how it says scammer under his name but he keeps trying.

I'm 24.
I've never kissed a girl.
I can play guitar but nobody listens to me. I have no friends.
I have an Okcupid and nobody even stalks me.
I thought Bitcoins would make me happy, but only a little bit.

I'm pretty sure it's Hostgator or at least something similar. Their site can obviously handle no more traffic than Susie's Geocities page about beanie babies.
