How long? It's probably permenant if it doesn't say and has been more than a month. Your posts really were poor quality and all short one liners. Did you have a paid signature?

Lol. You're not the Van Gogh of signature campaigns. It's funny how you claim winning signature contests means your designs are good but when others win instead of you it's a different story. I remember you complaining about how "crappy" you thought the winning Silver Wallets sig design was when it was actually a really tastefully done signature that matched their product, and yours was just another trashy multicoloured eyesore. Learn to take criticism or stop crying and slagging everybody else's designs off when you don't win. This is classic sore loser behaviour and coupled with the fact that you think your designs and designing skills are amongst the best indicates you really do seem to have quite a deluded and arrogant opinion about yourself.



Unfortunately this is the type of childish atttitde Candystripes has and it's why anybody with any sense doesn't trust him around here, but of course he can't see this.

You should put where it's located in the title. Do you personally own it and are you just renting or selling it as well? Looks pretty sweet and very reasonably priced.

I wonder how many people will actually set-up and use 2-factor when it becomes available? It's surprising how many people don't even bother with the blockchain.info accounts so if they're not that safe with their coins there then they probably won't be with their account here. Oh well, I guess no excuses if/when it does happen this time.


I agree this forum could do with some security upgrades (which I think are coming), but I think this hacking was more likely down to your low security than anything else.

Is it launching today and can you provide any more details? Rates, limits, Membergroups etc?

Know nothing about signatures? What the hell does that mean? If anyone here believes their signatures are good when they're infact shitty it's you. Pretty much all of your signatures are very basic and just throw as many colours into the mix and look a complete eyesore. You quite clearly cannot handle not winning these design contests.

There's a big difference between writing a forum post and an academic paper.


If he was satoshi surely he wouldn't say anything or at least try to distance himself from it?

Simply put: you can get a max of 14 points every two week period. Next one starts on second of December.

That's naive newbies fault then and for some people they learn the hard way. I agree that having a bond sounds good theoretically but it also opens itself up to various problems, and like you said it's not this forum's job. Luckily no escrow seems to have scammed yet (or not since I've been here), but it's probably only a matter of time before one of these newer ones does.


Wouldn't make a difference. Banning the sale of accounts wont stop or even barely make a dent in the number of sales. In fact, it would probably have the oppsite effect and there would be more scams as many more people will be oblivious to the fact that accounts can and are in fact sold.

Then why is it coming back soon? McDonald's & Coca Cola are the biggest of their respective industries but spend billions between them on advertising.

You're doing it wrong  . Crypto-fascist also means something else.

I doubt satoshi came out of the womb anonymous and wanting to protect his privacy 100% from an early age. This post was made over five years before bitcoin was released and the 'satoshi' who only had the basis for the idea back then could or would probably be a lot more naive and a lot less security conscious than the older one who would've obviously been far wiser by the time he realised his idea into a fully workable product.

I think he probably replies to these ban threads more often than not, but it's only really him that will consider unbanning someone, but it's pretty much common knowledge that BadBear is responsible for handling the bans and all requests related to it anyway.

And it probably is for low quality posts under a signature, but that doesn't answer his question of if the ban is permenant (which it usually isn't unless prior warnings have been given) and likely only BadBear can answer that unless theymos does but even he may not know the full details behind a specific case.

It's easy to say that in retrospect but a whitepaper wouldn't have even entered his mind at the time as his idea seems to be something he was only in the genesis of (if you could even call it that) and thus isn't going to be that concerned about privacy when he hadn't even got a fully working idea, so this seems to be just thinking out loud more than anything serious.


He took care of his privacy after he had something that was workable and ready to be released years later. And what's the mistake? Everybody is still none the wiser to who he is.

Probably just a good pipedream someone had a while back and is likely just circumstantial / coincidental to bitcoin, but I suppose it's possible he later developed the ideas, but without a detailed explanation of the technology behind it I'm sure many people have proposed the idea of a digital peer-to-peer currency before, but it does have the hallmarks of bitcoin. Maybe it took him all this time to come up with a workable solution? Who knows. Interesting anyway.

Appealing via the email provided is probably a waste of time so I'd just wait for a response from BadBear, but using an alt account to post anywhere outside of Meta will likely be considered ban evasion.

Don't download programs from people advertised on here then, especially if they're from newbs. You can download the clients from their respective websites.

Check out one of the ones mentioned above. Electrum or Multibit for a desktop wallet or blockchain.info for a web wallet (but remember to set up all the security features ie - 2-factor and second password etc).

Yes, your money will be there when your wallet fully syncs, though I'd suggest getting a lite client so you don't have to download the entire blockchain.You can transfer the wallet.dat over and recieve or send your coins straight away.

That probably depends on how much he wants for it. I'm sure someone will be interested if he does want to sell it.
