Stashes of stolen funds are being moved to various addresses, tracking them will become harder. |

I am just curious given the blatant fact that it is broken why do so many people obsess over feedback that has relatively no meaning.
Feedback in itself is not affected by the DefaultTrust issue. Only the statistics (i.e. weighing and scoring) of the feedback are. And theymos is already doing something about it. |

That was "crash down and make a new all time recent low" for >40% right?  |

Happy new year to all bulls, bears and trolls. And a prosperous new year to everyone, in your health, wealth, and relationships!
+1, and this time my prediction (or wish maybe) for 2015 will be slow but steady increase in price, less volatility. |

i'm just letting my thoughts wander here... is there any way that the bitcoin protocol could be changed to only permit solo mining?
not that it would be a desirable scenario, as there are too many large farms who would have owners rubbing their hands thinking they could 'own' bitcoin.
but, is it possible? i'm no coder so i wouldn't have the first clue about this... just pondering...
I don't think it is possible to prevent miners from cooperating (pooling). Nor desirable as you pointed out. |

I look at the graph and tell myself
So much blood. So many dead soldiers on the field
A moment of silence for our fallen brothers and a big FU to early adopters for not realising the minnows they are ripping off are the very people they need on board to get really rich.
Yes, exactly, remember that trading is a zero-sum game. I would have thought that all that blood would stop the roller coaster but apparently I was wrong. Or not yet. |

These pump and dumps are beyond my understanding again. Oh never mind I guess.

I don't have the/a link or address to hand, but i thought the funds were still static, i.e. noone has run away with any money  There are still 150 BTC on 1CzJY7pVkCqDjUtycHzFgeTTbbWokqYuXo but it doesn't mean much as long as the one with the key is AWOL. He or she might just as well be dead, in rehab, jail or whatever. |

Anyway, really nice to see this post pop up again. I almost forgot my 10+ BTC is still in the hand of Deprived.
Every time that I see it pop up again my heart skips a beat, but I'm afraid there's only one purpose left to it: venting |

I say es-cript, just to avoid being ambiguous with (a) script.

Either way the Bitcoins are not lost, they're just flying in the Bitcoin space and
will either be sent to original recipient or sent back to me?
Yes. Technically not sent back to you, but transaction will be discarded and amount will be available again on your balance for spending |
|

There are two possible outcomes: - Transaction eventually gets included in a block from some pool that accepts transactions with fees below the recommended threshold, then it will get confirmations just like a "normal" transaction. It might take up to several days though,
- Unconfirmed transaction times out (expiring from other nodes mempool), and the amount is returned to your balance. Depending on your client, it may require some tweaking and/or blockchain reset/resync
I guess you could accelerate things by deleting your wallet AFTER SAVING PRIVATE KEYS FROM ALL INPUTS WITH NON-ZERO BALANCES (and those with zero balance if you plan to re-use them), create a new wallet and import all private keys back. Then you can "double spend" (re-spend if you prefer) the bitcoins, but it will only be accepted from nodes that already discarded the previous unconfirmed transaction. Do not try this if you aren't sure about the private keys import/export operation, as you could lose access to your bitcoins permanently. Another idea would be to double spend using a raw transaction, but that requires some advanced skills. Also, there is a BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) to allow increasing the fee retroactively, but it's not possible at the moment AFAIK. PS: How can you deliberately forget something? I guess it's a language mistake |

Most of the Bitcoin Wiki is more or less outdated but it's still a good place to start IMO |

Boooooring *yawn* |

You definitely have made a loss, even if you haven't actually sold.
Really how so sure? What price did I buy? "Weak Hands" are looking like "Smart Hands" each day that passes the way things are going. By the way the "Calling the bottom at 350" threads are now outdated, lets get some more "Calling the bottom at 300" threads going until Monday. I agree and I don't think anyone will be able to predict the bottom anyway, at this stage. This "bubble deflation" is taking too long to be driven only by speculative factors and adoption achievements can't even reverse the trend until that said bottom. Hopefully not under $200 but it's still a good price for those who got it early I guess. I still think "over mining" is playing a role in the trend downward over the last couple of months. It will continue until they fall short and stop mining, but then nobody can predict if the reversal will happen as it depends on the future miners' behavior etc. |

Why do all these trades look like rats leaving a sinking ship  |
|
|

People saying it since the 600's.
Since we broke the 360's, the only graphical end is the pre-october levels, that is, sub 200.
You may still earn a few BTC in the meantime by selling now and buying back then aka shorting  Or not, yeah, HODL the **** up  |
|

We need to downsize both speculation and excessive mining basically exchanging at any rate and constantly, because they can't hoard at the current rate and need to pay for their expanses etc. tl;dr: going down to 250 maybe worse, in short terms, and then reversing to whatever, we'll see. Bitcoin has seen it before |
