Maybe tell them you actually only posess this one currency called Bitcoins and you would want to pay the fine with it.
Sure let's all ignore the fat bankroll in his pocket. Only drug peddlers deal in cash, you know!  Seriously, that sucks Bruno. What a waste of money what with the time and towing fees down the drain. Also, fuck your neighbor for blaming you for losing his money. Tell him that he failed in his due diligence by not researching the company online like he should have. Then he can't say anything since he doesn't use the internet.  |

100 BTC bounty if someone can get this working with MySQL or get me a new pool mining software that works.
Hit up IRC and talk to Graet and his cronies and see if they can help. Ozcoin runs ecoinpool, so they ought to know. |

There is no possible way to move funds faster in the fiat banking world.
Oh yeah? What about a private jet stuffed full of cash, mister smarty pants? Bahahaahaa |

Just out of curiosity, have you tested or had a look at MPBM (Modular Python Bitcoin Miner) yet? It was actually designed for FPGA devices, whereas cgminer had FPGA support bolted on to a CPU/GPU mining core.

I got a response saying they are too busy to make a change to my order's shipping address. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall there to see what's actually going on; if you are really getting so many orders per day that you can't help out customers that have already ordered... well I think any sane business owner would halt sales until the problem is fixed. The volume of orders for an entire month should be enough to make estimates and targets for production far into the future.

Ah yes, the primal need to have a scapegoat.
You really think bitcoinica was run by a goat ? I thought a goat was a smart animal with some security expertise and a real sense of responsibility. Bahahahaa  |

I just want to make it clear that I have no abilities to actually spec or code such a thing; I'm just putting my idea out there for others to criticize and build if they want to. It's free for anyone to do anything with, I don't expect attribution or anything, but I can't help beyond posting my big ideas here.

@rjk stupid question, why would the freshness of the coins make any different in a mixer? Are you solely going off the part that older coins can be mixed more cause of the low tx fees?
The idea is that those using the service will want newer and less-"tainted" coins in return, and the way they can get those is by convincing miners to get their dirty coins by paying them a percentage. I think many miners would happily receive "dirty" coins in exchange for their fresh ones, as long as they are being paid up to 1%. In practice it would be a bit difficult because few pools pay with brand new coins. However, many of those pools will be paying fairly new coins with little history. With the upcoming coin control patches being implemented, you could also have a feature where you could enter an arbitrary bitcoin address and be told the fee up front before transferring coins. That way, you would be able to see whether you are going to be paid, or whether the mixing will cost you. For example, Eligius and P2Pool coins would be paid the full 1% because they are brand new. All other pools' coins might be paid 0.8%, since it can be proven that they were part of a pool payout, but just aren't "brand new". On the flip side, coins that have been used a lot could be charged between 0.8% (minimum fee for non-pool and non-coinbase coins) and 2% for coins that have been used a lot. 2% to 3% would be for coins that others might consider stolen or tainted for some other reason, and the mixer would make its money off of the spread. Perhaps even the user submitting extremely "dirty" coins could select the freshness of the coins that they want back, in exchange for a lower fee. For example, someone that has a few coins that would normally cost 3% could choose to pay the full fee and get some Eligius coins back, or pay a partial fee in exchange for some other very used coins that came from a different user. I don't know whether there is a demand for any such service, but I would assume that the 1% payout would create a disproportionately large demand on the miner side. This would obviously be a problem if only those eligible for a payout are using the system, instead of both types of users. Anyways, that's my idea and I can't create it, so it's out there in case someone else wants to make it. It would require extremely careful design in order to actually work as expected and not fail due to lack of use by both sides of users. Perhaps if a paying user does not show up, the users that expect to be paid will be told to wait, or will have their coins mixed with other new users at no fee instead of negative fee if they select that as an option. |

As an observer, seems to me that Zhou Tong bears most of the responsibility for hacking together and making available that miserable contraption, without much regard for security...
Amir & Co. just got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, and didn't back out, or take Bitcoinica offline and fix it, when it was wisest to do so.
The first hack was caused directly by negligence, because a server that was open to some members of the public was given access to Patrick's private mail server. My understanding if I recall correctly is that this oversight/error was caused by genjix. The second hack was either caused by the hacker pwning genjix's box and releasing the source under his name, OR genjix releasing the source himself without first scrubbing out stored passwords/API keys. Take that for what it's worth. |

Is it bad that I've been thinking about getting the license plate bitcoin1?
Did someone already take "bitcoin"? |

Please to excuse me if someone has already asked about this as I don't wish to wade through the entire thread, (I have now & it doesn't seem to have been brought up as yet), but it has just stuck me that in addition to not using the free Lastpass 2FA or the Yubi key that comes with a pro-account which Lastpass promote heavily & is an obvious must, they also can't have had any 2FA on their Mt. Gox account like the Mt. Gox Yubi key that is needed for both logging on & for withdrawals.
This has got to be deliberate imo to leave such a stash of client's cash just sitting there & then to not use the most basic protections that secure it, looks like a clear case of leaving plausible deny-ability to me - that is if anyone could imagine them being so negligent about the funds they were meant to be looking after in the first place.
Of course with the Yubi keys it would need a staged physical break in to pull off - far too risky, police have to be informed etc, so playing the incompetence card instead imo, Oh we put it all in this Online wallet & didn't bother to secure it or the access to it just like last time & the time before, even Inspector Clueless might just have spotted a pattern here.
Is it possible that 2FA would prevent them from having shared access to accounts, so they skipped it? Still bad practice, but at least provides some explanation for this madness. No. LastPass allows several Yubikeys to be used on a single account, I believe the limit is 6 or 8. However, this would have been an issue with MtGox, unless they used GA and shared the GA secret. |

No, although they are very close to what I am thinking of. The key part of my idea is the variable fees, with a rebate for brand new coins based on a selection algorithm. I might add that this probably should have wallet functionality like torwallet, because that means it will be harder to correlate inputs and outputs based on size alone. This correlation could be done with a straight mixing service, even with randomized fees, but having wallet functionality means that customers will be more likely to have a large input and several small outputs, since they can use the wallet to pay people instead of having to launder all the coins at once. |

Perhaps this is symptomatic for the claims process? puter@mybox:~$ ping bitcoinconsultancy.com
PING bitcoinconsultancy.com (50.57.81.35) 56(84) bytes of data.
wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... Proudhon: I think you're disrespecting that pigeon, don't be surprised if a relative of it shits on your jacket next time you get out!  That site's been off since the first hack happened. |

A while ago, I was discussing with someone about a coin mixing service idea, and since I never saw anything come of it, I decided to share.
Basically, the mixing service would take coins from anywhere, and would charge a fee between -1% and 3% (yes, negative) based on how clean and new the coins were. So if you as a miner could contribute brand new unspent coins, you would be paid up to 1%, and if you wanted to wash really old or dirty coins, you would be charged up to 3% based on the age and cleanliness of the coins.
What do you guys think of this idea, would it be feasible? It would of course make sense to run it exclusively over Tor.

Since when eligius is a part of p2pool??? Looks like failover in case something paralyzes p2pool for some reason. You could solo mine instead. |

Suuuure, 8 or 9 anonymous accounts all set up via Tor, and no claim(s) filed. Go sit on a cactus, Maria.
