People do realize that the FBI for example has a internet crimes division.   They employ data analysts, statisticians, forensic accountants, computer experts, etc.  FinCEN deals with ponzi schemes and other "investment" scams everday.



They mostly track pedophiles who use bitcoin to buy kiddie porn on Silk Road. 

I though SR had a no harm clause?

… use the Vandroiy bet conditions, because they are clearly laid out and fine-tuned. If Vandroiy wins his BTC5,000, you pay me, if Vandroiy loses, I pay you. …

I accept your conditions. I'm betting 10,000BTC already in another thread however, although at the moment of writing this, 4995.89114457 BTC has been bet leaving me with 5004.10885543 BTC left to bet with. Name your bet please.

Let's leave it at BTC250 then. That's about my limit without escrow.

This is my offer. If you accept it, we have a deal.

Agreed. For my own accounting purposes I will add it to the same spreadsheet as I use for other betters of the betting thread, but I concede publicly that it is in fact a separate bet entirely and an exact mimc of the strict guidelines in Vandroiy and Pirate's bet. Good luck!

When I follow the Windows source installation instructions:

Quote
Install PyQt4
Install Electrum-1.0.zip
execute 'python electrum'

I get:

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "electrum", line 23, in <module>
    from electrum.util import print_error
ImportError: No module named electrum.util

Never had this problem before...

Can you try it using the latest master. I don't have a Windows environment to test on so I'm not quite sure what's going on here.

Same problem.
Try the following

1. Put the source in a folder that doesn't have any spaces, like c:\electrum
2. Put that folder in your PATH

... due to insider information ...

I love unregulated markets <hug>

Bad wording on my part, it is not insider information, it is public information:
Good to know... however I did not mean that snarky... but more literal.

773  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Putting your money where Pirate's mouth is. on: August 22, 2012, 02:08:23 PM
It's not that difficult:

"There is a guy named Trendon Shavers, who lives in McKinney Texas, that has been running a ponzi scheme since November (or whenever it was). The scheme has finally collapsed, and his has bilked his investors out of around $5 million."

You don't have any sympathy for the people he ripped off, and that's ok. But he has (allegedly) committed a serious crime. People don't need proof to file a complaint. They just need to make the D.A. aware of it, and he will find the proof (if there is any).

They'll ask you how you sent the funds.  You'll say bitcoin. They'll say what? You'll have to prove value.  Then you have to prove you actually sent it.  Then he spends all this time researching and by the time he gets around to it, pirate's already paid people back.  They don't take kindly when you stretch the facts. 
They you have to pay taxes on the bitcoins you do still own (because now you were so helpful to prove the value to the gov'ment)

Do you want in on this fabulous money making opportunity, but are a little short on coin and can't get 5BTC together? I can help you out.

For a limited time, I will accept donations pass-throughs at 1GBfFqd3t1Gpm2TcNUfy6T4vKZDUPnM5os of any size. I'll invest the money with Miss BS&T and pay you out 4% interest.

Have you sent the funds yet? Good. Only Hilter doesn't invest with Ms BS&T.
Awesome..... now we need a "hitler finds out he missed out on an investment" video

Ask the pizza guy to return 9997 BTC and I'll also refund you Smiley
Nicely played sir...
778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain.info wallet on iOS - install it now! on: August 21, 2012, 07:37:54 PM
Is the wallet app still available on Apple's official app store and still fully functional (able to send and receive coins)? Can someone with an iPhone please confirm?

Is Apple changing its tune? Was (re)allowing the fully-functional app a mistake? Will Apple's mobile payment platform, Passport, due with iOS5 officially support Bitcoin? </rampant_speculation>

There is a bet on this exact topic: http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=562
