Someone transfered 1 whole bitcoin in there. I'm pretty sure this transaction is fake. It could be the operator. I don't see why someone would trust him for such an amount.

We should'nt really discredit him just because of his trust. To me everything is possible with Mt.Gox.

A company that bit doesn't go bankrupt that easily. It maybe was Mark's bad managment but do you think that there wouldn't be someone there to advice him? Maybe he was trying to put blame on his "bad managment" by going public couple of times and wanting to show off a face persona to outshine the possible huge frauds that were going on under the name of Mt.Gox and made it go bankrupt.

But again, speculation.

Smooth move, dude. You only want somebody else to do the dirty work for you - because you're stupid enough to post a thread about this. Any legal action they take can't just be reflected against the DDoSer, but you, too. In some cases the Admins have given out usernames that have conducted any illegal activity.

I've never heard a story like this happening in this forum. Besides that, the only information the staff of the forum knows about us is our IP address.

For BTC to become mainstream it needs to be manipulateable in one way or another - that's how big currency traders/market makers make their edge.

So you're saying corruption and manipulation is good because it allows shady individuals to make a quick buck?  I don't think that's what the majority of people want to see in crypto.  Let's try to keep a level playing field here, shall we?  Not repeat the mistakes of the current monetary system where the finance sector pull the strings and everyone else dances to their tune.

Neutrality of bitcoin leaves it open to anyone. No matter who someone is, there's no one there to stop them from manipulating the price of it if he has the power to.
6847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Willy Report and PRICE!!? on: May 27, 2014, 11:27:30 AM
The "Willy" trading amounted to less than 3% of the BTC traded in November. The price impact would have been marginal. Move on. Nothing to see here.

More than 7% to be percise. I'm pretty sure that such a volume would have had a solid impact on the price. The market obviously had an uptrend and the whales pushed it further.

Money laundering laws are really strict in the USA. This doesn't mean insolvency. I'Surely; bitstamp doesn't want the ifc to freeze their bank accounts. They have to comply with regulation in advance. And if you ask me, I'm sure btc-e doesn't like regulation as well but it's not the same. They are not US based.

...Willy didn't pay fees or fiat because it operated outside the purview of what a normal trader would have to do. High value clients would have direct relationships with MtGox, and would likely have special fee structure in place that they would pay to MtGox separately and at a different time than trades. Willy didn't back up trades with fiat because fiat was likely wired to MtGox separately, in bulk...

So those bots could just be elite customers.

oh
 well... I can't Stanford all this speculation i this thread. Its so
obvious new accounts are created with the sole purpose of promoting
this. The evidence that this is a hip is laying right in front of your
eyes people. Whoever falls for this, to me his losses will be well
deserved. This is my last warning about this. I can't stand the
stupidity ogre some people here.


Maybe you should take english classes... or use something a bit better than google translator perhaps?

You should try posting this from a nokia 210 yourself. Cheesy
6853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.6 HARDFORK MANDATORY UPDATE on: May 26, 2014, 01:09:38 PM
As soon as doge is the most profitable coin, it will be mined by ASIC farms and multipools and then dumped on the exchanges making it not profitable again. So I think it's about time for the DEV's to really think about capping the coin as it was introduced in the first place, maybe change the PoW algo, and hey, why not also implement PoS? Of course that would need a hard fork, but it's possible without problems.

Do not let such a great thing as doge just slowly die...

What you mentioned is already happening. The good thing with doge is that it has a huge community to support it. Thats what makes it have a future for me. But if you think about it twice, changing the algo os the PoW sceme it would even have a negative effect. Do you think that the price of it would be the same if anyone with a computer was able to mine?

Now that I think of it, women are really good in volleyball. And even better in beach volley. I've never seen a profesional women team competing with a men's one to be honest but women's volleyball league seems just as profesional as the men's one (at least to me).

Speaking about manipulation, what makes you think that the Chinese exchanges are having a "fair" price? Even the volume in those exhanges is thought to be fake. Sure they hold a big piece of the pie. If someone would be able to manipulate the price and push it higher after MtGox it would be the chinese exchanges but there's no way to support that every single trade there is legit. So yeah, why do you think MtGox was the only exchange in wich the price was manipulated?
6856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Willy Report and PRICE!!? on: May 26, 2014, 12:07:10 PM
At the moment I don't see the report having any influence to the price. Maybe if a big news agency picks up the story and it becomes more mainstream it would. But I just think it's going to get burried otherwise.

myriadcoin is minable at the same time with 5 different algorithms. This helps make it 51& attack proof. Theoretically could be even more secure than bitcoin when it comes to 51% attacks. It also has an active development. Worth taking a look.

Doing a ddos attack yourself can rarely be consideres illegal. In most cases it's not considered something more a form of protest. There rarely are laws to secificaly say that ddosing is illegal. However hiring someone to bring someone's service down, oh well  Roll Eyes it's easier to consider that illegal in many ways. Good thing Bitcoin is an anonymous currency.

People have gone to jail for a long time for doing these.

I've never heard a story of someone going to jail for the sole purpose of ddosing. Many times ddosing is combined with website defacing, abuse of personal data stored in private servers, leaked personal information etc.

That's more likely to get someone jail time rather than pointing a ddos tool to a website with his ip.
