look guys. The FBI and NSA and probably CIA already have quantum computers that can completely wipe out bitcoin. The bitcoin developers KNOW this and talked about it recently. Isn't it conceivable that THEY stole the money? That THEY are responsible for the DDoS attacks?

Welcome to the real world. Some people have money to buy mining rigs. Some don't.

$18million, who wouldn't be tempted to steal that amount from a litter of junkies?

mining is a complete waste of time and money!  You are better off throwing them in the garbage and save your electricity.  Mining is a big ponzi scheme.  the computers cost more than what they will ever ROI!  If anything buy bitcoin....  not right now but maybe when its at 100 per coin.

I actually have a friend who has his own pizza story. In Hamburg Germany a few years ago it was in fashion at this one place (?) to buy pizza with btc. He said many people did that. Anyway, he swears he spent over 5000 btc on a pizza. He is actually pretty noticably upset by it and won't really tell me how many. They really (obviously) had no idea about what btc was. I say that at least in part because he said he has 1 btc now!

We already know that ButterFlyLabs is scammer. Stay away from them...

PTHC refers to child pornography and files with filenames like that are definitely seeded by government agencies as a HoneyPot to catch child predators? What did you think you were downloading? Because I am a completely normal, law abiding citizen and even I understand that to stay away from files like that. On the internet PTHC stands for "pre-teen hardcore" child pornography.
