On first read I think that Allinvain, was stupid. However I do not think that this is hoax or the CIA.
We have NO evidence to link any of this to the CIA (or any other government or non government organization).
If Allinvain had indeed lost 25K BTC, he would be in a very fragile mental state, it would be extremely unlikely that he would make rational and fully consistent posts.
1. Allinvain was in shock
2. It is rational to regiser a forum account and not post... Becasue if you are registered you can tell what posts are new... (very typical for a lurker)
3. Allinvain isn't the greatest geek out there, and has miss-understandings with computers. This is NOT mutually exclusive with being a early adopter.
4. From point 3. Allinvain isn't a hardcore geek... so he didn't keep a secure system to hold his bitcoins... Again Fair.
Everything in Allinvain's story can be rationally explained. What ever happened to 'guilty till proven innocent?'
There have been some conspiracies in history... however this isn't one of them... If it was, it has backfired... It has created a strong awareness of the VALUE of bitcoin, now people say "Wow, Bitcoin's are worth so much that I need to protect them like GOLD, or MONEY!" Now people are going to think bitcoin as something of value and protect it!

New IRC channel for the gamers among us... A place to hangout and talk... and talk about games! (and how bitcoin changes the gaming industry)  |

50% Or more will not be early adopters -> 50% or more will have envy -> 50% or more will have 50% of the computer power necessary to create the longest chain
Please do tell me my mistake?
Sure... Bitcoin regards the longest valid chain as the correct version of the truth. If you change bitcoin so the fees remain at 50 BTC forever, that would create a invalid chain for every bitcoin user that has not agreed with your modification. Even if you had 100x the hashing power on your '50 forever' chain... that chain will still be rejected by every client that has not adopted your changed rules. |

You are not very original, this has been discused and answered forever.
And then you will have two currencies. The old system and the new system. The new system is more inflationary and people wont trust it and it will die. I actually think that the miners will see this and wont even go for the change in the first place.
The idea might have been stated before, if you drop me a link I'll even say sorry. But please do understand, I'm not speaking of a situation of two co-existent currencies. I'm speaking of the current block-chain being taken over. lol... as soon as you change the rules you create a fork, it doesn't matter if the fork has a shorter or longer chain... The original block chain will remain intact, and will keep on going happily. |

It's not about what I want, it's about what will unevitably happen.
I would love you to make a compatible fork of bitcoin... That makes the coins I own TWICE as valuable as I can spend them on both block-chains! So what you are really creating is a HUGE and UNFAIR advantage to the early adopters. (note) the coins in the bitcoin block chain will remain much more valuable. Therefore, not twice as valuable... but you get the point. |

@ S3052, I'm really missing your high quality analysis... is there any chance that you will do public reports again?

I have made an order... yet still have not received any confirmation email.

There are a lot of people working in the background on getting businesses to accept bitcoin.
Unfortunately, this forum is now a ghetto overflowing with trolls, image spam, 4chan'ers... it has chased most "business types" away from the forums. A lot of us now just trade emails, to get things done.
Twitter is where all the action is at. |

You and your wife have shot a private porn movie (for your own eyes only). I take a copy of it, but you don't lose the original. Would you not have felt you lost something ? (like your exclusive right to view it)
If you didn't get the owners authorization to make that copy, the act of copying is a violation of their property rights. But then, if you pass the video to somebody else, the couple cannot make the same accusation against this third party. You are mixing up trespass (getting the original copy of the video), and copyright (the controlling of copies of your 'work' outside your property). |

That's still about three cents. Why not 0.00001? 0.01 was fine when we were at 0.3, why is 0.00001 too low when we're at 30?
We should make the min fee 0.00001 |

Oh!  |

We should move to a new UNIT! the unit of of a 'Bitcoin' is defined in the official source code: static const int64 COIN = 100000000;
This should STAY THE SAME! See: static const int64 COIN = 100000000;
static const int64 CENT = 1000000;
we can just define a new one: static const int64 COIN = 100000000;
static const int64 CENT = 1000000;
static const int64 mBTC = 100000;
static const int64 XBT = 100;
and so on... The reason NOT to 'shift the decimal point' is because it will require UPDATING every codified system that uses bitcoins... It will aslo cause huge ammouts of confusion for those who use old clients. Keep the same units.. For a real-life example where we use smaller every-day units... just look at: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Tesla_%28unit%29 |

Since we have like NO interest... I'm gonna #FAIL on this thread, and re-invest these 100 BTC into some other projects.

Its sad that you need a university degree to work out your tax.
It is sad that you get put in a cage if you don't pay your tax... but that is life. |

I'm sorry to say that I did not get my copy :-(
I paid the 0.02 BTC and refreshed the page. My browser (opera mobile) started the download and after about 30 seconds said that there was a problem.
Apparently it did not receive a single byte of the file.
I'll try again tonight with a desktop browser.
(The previous downloads that were free worked in opera mobile)
And: please add a link to the address like "a href=bitcoin:--address--?amount=0.02" so i can just click on it and not have to copy and paste the address which is tedious on a phone. Maybe even add a QR-code. I can help with that if needed.
If you navigate away from the page, then navigate back, the site will re-try the download... Don't close your brower, as the cookie is lost and you will be asked to pay again! Otherwise good points. We certanly will consider them! |

Thanks for using the bitcoin service! However there are a few things to note: We are in the process of doing a major re-development of the backend to the bitcoin service. When we release the new-website, we will be moving over to a dedicated server, the site should be much faster, and more reliable. However, it will not be backwards compatible as we are fundamentally changing the addressing system. Do not worry, any balances will be ported over to the new system, and we will give you ample time and warning to move the files over before we stop the old VPS server. Bugs such as when files do not download properly on IE will be fixed. In addition, users will be able to store Bitcoin’s in their account. Expect the fees to be lower and capability for larger downloads! |

Wth? Everywhere I look today people saying this. On what other planet is a >20% increase a drop? Close of bizness Friday price was under $14.
A drop of the USD's value v.s. bitcoin? |
