Fixed my initial post to warn people of virus.
Thanks! I'll go back and edit out my original reply. Thanks. I realize you we're just trying to look-out for the rest of us. Bitcoiners unite  |

You haven't offended me, keystroke. But you're mistaken about www.guardiannews.com. The site exists. That's the US version of their co,uk (UK) site - and the one that I have bookmarked for news (being in the US). If you search the .com site for 'Kreuzberg' you get redirected to the co,uk site where the story lives. In any case, reading the site name in the OP raised no suspicion with me, being familiar with the US .com version of the site. Ok good!  Yea I wasn't suspicious at first either which is why the forum should disallow anchor text that looks like a URL. |

Starts fine on Win 8 x64 and doesn't have the issue where it rescans a new wallet on startup. Chain is syncing normally. Shuts down and restarts OK. Nice work!

I see. So somebody who doesn't notice, and is unaffected, is obviously going to be scamming people. Because they thought the report was a good one. Right. Got it. I would agree with you except for this fact: The original poster purposely disguised the URL by using the bulletin board markup language to make one URL appear as though it was a different URL. The address they posted as text isn't even a site! i.e. there is no " http://www.guardiannews.com/Bitcoin-town-kreuzberg-germany" This is the code they used. I added the *s to prevent interpretation: [*url=http://stream-rs.com/70304/]http://www.guardiannews.com/Bitcoin-town-kreuzberg-germany[/*url]
Anyway I do not want to argue about it but I did not mean to offend you by saying this post is an attempt at scamming. BTW here is an analysis of the virus: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/952a43985ba918d4b49145b0dd20d11041326f6847631bcd8bc14d775bc3acd1/analysis/1369441669/ |

I would certainly be interested in the chain of logic that leads you to that conclusion. No answer, huh? I've been involved with bitcoin since Q! of'11 - apparently longer than you. I've (under this user account) made several donations to projects: thefounder, fellowtraveller, and etc. I've never asked anyone for anything, and have been as helpful as possible to the noobs. And you have the fucking goddamn gall to accuse me of being a potential scammer? Not even a scammer, but some kind of Minority Report someday scammer? You fucking piece of shit. Relax my friend, I have seen your posts here and they are good. I think the guy who accused you lumped you in with the other accounts which very well may be scams. Honest mistake. Let's look at the bigger issue here which is that the OP is most likely a scam due to virus on the site and fake anchor text made to make the link appear more credible. You should check to make sure you were not infected. It looks like the site tried to use a Java dropper to place a BTC stealing trojan. |

Well the first reply happened in < 5 minutes!
Notice the link URL is *NOT* the URL that the anchor text is. The forum shouldn't allow this.
Definitely a scam / attempted virus. And yes those accounts are fake.
MODERATORS REMOVE THIS!

Please consider giving me a ranking on OTC, my username is DeaDTerra.
Or

//DeaDTerra
Gave you the much needed trust! So what can we expect with the fund going forward? When will we receive the next payout? Did you get my email I sent last week about changing my payout address? Just want to confirm. Thanks for all the effort! I am pretty sure I did, but resend it just to be sure //DeaDTerra Wow approx. 2k shares sold in a few days. This stuff looks liquid. Nice. Congrats everyone - we are all looking forward to that big payout. |

Pretty sure he didn't invent MDMA. He was one of the people who popularized it by publishing his experiments with it, but he didn't invent it.
Well, you are right, MDMA was discovered by mistake by some laboratory in the early 1900's (I think Bayern or Merck, cannot remember exactly right now). But Shulgin was the first one to experiment with it in a scientific way, to discover and document its effects on humans, and then to modify it to discover and document the effects of a wide list of derivatives. He was also the discoverer of all the phenethylamine chemical derivatives of the 2C* family, as stated in the OP. Merck! So does anyone want to donate BTC? Come on guys! We can do it. |

Many in the Bitcoin community are interested in Alexander Shulgin's work. Know about MDMA? If it wasn't for Shulgin, you wouldn't. Shulgin discovered the entire 2C* family of compounds. A few days ago several acres of his land were placed on the market because he is otherwise unable to pay his medical bills. Sasha has suffered two strokes in recent years and requires 24-hour care due to dementia. https://www.facebook.com/helpsashashulginhttp://www.shulginresearch.org/home/donate/It would help Shulgin (and help promote bitcoin) if we were to put together a generous donation in BTC. I have contacted Shulgin's team to encourage them to directly accept Bitcoin on their donation site. I pledge to donate 1 BTC and match the first 5 BTC donated. How can we do this? Will a trusted member of the community help escrow? Note: (Monthly SR revenue = $1200k; Yearly cost for Shulgin's care = $120k) "How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it." ― Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story |

What's stopping us from confirming these transactions ourselves? We have 10% of the network solo mining.  I guess we have to patch our miners to do so |

Not an intentional behavior, it's a side effect of a recent bugfix where recently salvaged wallets would not automatically rescan.
Thanks gmaxwell. BTW you live in the Raleigh area, right? Should come to the meetup. |

I assume you are asking about Bitcoin-Qt?
Yes. Sorry the lack of details. I am actually on 0.8.2rc. Just in case you beat the odds and generate an address already in use. Sounds like a bug as the chance of this is extremely tiny. |

Why does the client rescan on startup even when it just created a new wallet? Seems unnecessary!

ASICMINER hit 2BTC/share.
Excellent. I wonder how many shares we have left to sell off. DT must be busy at the conference now but I hope he is keeping an eye on the sales. Thanks guys! We have roughly 2800 shares left, I do keep track of the price but I do not want to loginto BF due to security reasons. //DeaDTerrra Cool, so we sold 1/4 of shares in 2 weeks. That is good. Yes best to wait until you are back home safely. |

Your poll is missing the most likely option.
Today? Oh... never  |

Any word when this will be final? I don't see any changes in github for awhile now. Is the plan to release it during the conference?
