You would say I am lying if I told you I was here from the start just because I like the technology behind Bitcoin
why should i? the tech caught my first... it took a few months to realize the consequences. since then i love the tech and the potential consequences for society (though the latter is more important to me). but... the tech gets slowly boring as i understand more and more of it... the current fork discussion is sth interesting again  |

There is a hiccup though us guys are not long term traders and we do not like losing value so we need to adapt to not caring for the value of the coin because if we can't adapt we end up angry with the coin and forget the amazing opportunity it gives us, and this will all because of manipulators who care not of the benefits but just the money it can make them.
indeed: that was hard to learn! my main concern is still all the thefts. yea i know who to blame, but still that was the sole reason why i stopped buying. Lets go sailing my friend  well... if you are in germany near bodensee sometime shoot me a pm. i'll have access to a sailboat there |

You ask a legit question at the end. Why am i here, i am here because this opportunity is here i mean i dislike everything about the banks and their monopoly/control they have over average joe, so in short i am here to take this chance at becoming my own bank for myself and my family with a chance of financial freedom..
it seems you are in the same boat as me if only person wants to be his own bank: it cant work. but bitcoin gives this power to many people. |

my agenda: i believe that sound money is important to make this world a better place for everybody.
my definition of sound money:
- fixed supply / rules known by all participants
- no interest
- small or no inflation
- unregulated cheap transactions around the world to anyone
- fungibility (i think(!) this goes hand-in-hand with anonymity - but mixers seem to work well enough)
- anonymous
- everybody can participate
- trustless (means: i only need to trust mathematics and nothing else)
^ that is what get me to btc in the first place and i still believe in it.
what's your agenda? why are you here?

its called cognitive dissonance... drk is a coin for people hoping for a quick buck - it will last until drk-masters decide to sell. after that people can think freely again lets hope they dont have to much adoption outside cryptoland until then - the consequences for all cryptos would be very harsh (lets imagine drk mass adoption and in ten years the next snowden comes and tells that all transactions are already cleartext for nsa. swift desaster would be peanuts compared to that) |

You would be the first to deanonymize darksend transactions in the history of Darkcoin.
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/dead-change-an-anonymity-issue.3019/fixed long ago, not sure if anybody really used it to deanonymize darksend. but there was a problem... and old transaction may still be deanonymized. EDIT: my point is: how should i trust him with my privacy. i need some proofs that he is capable to do what he is claiming (formal proof, code reviews, code reviews by other cryptographers). but the speed at which it is developed cries for bugs (and we see them regularly): under such circumstances i think that good reviews are not even possible -> moving target. |

fluffy dev put whole thread to sleep  OP admitted he was wrong I guess i'll find something else of interest I never, at no point admitted I was wrong. The flaw is obvious here, and anyone who tries with a block explorer and a pen and paper can reassemble the correct transaction without shuffling. I am working on a block explorer which allows deanonymization of darksend transactions ... it is trivial actually, an let it work only in 80% of all cases. I'm looking forward to it as any weakness thats exposed in Darkcoin now can only strengthen it in the future but to be honest i think we having a higher chance of seeing Masternode Blinding implemented on Darkcoin Mainnet before ever seeing a working block explorer that effectively deanonymize darksend transactions. But i would love to be proven wrong on this one, maybe you are The One well, thats the reason why i need a formal proof on anonymity and some good reviews by cryptographers before i'll trust an anon feature. if you make a transaction thinking it is anonymous and a few weeks later someone says: no, sorry. only the next update may be safe (i dont need to proof that of course, because always when i said its anon you believed me: this time will be the same) -> you may be pretty fucked. if not: why did you do an anon transaction in the first place? |

I don't see how one intends to 'prove' to the blockchain that they relayed a transaction, without someone else being able to undo their efforts. Explain this shit to me.
my idea was that the first full node which sees the transaction does (instead of relaying the transaction) relays his contact info. the miner would need to contact one of this nodes in order to get the real transaction. only thing i am unsure about is how the miner can proof to that node that he will really try to add the node-paying-transaction to the block. i think paying only the first node is not bad |

am i the only one who thinks this looks like a death-star? anyway: love the idea |

There is a wall of 200 btc wall at 0.00194....
Aaaaand... it's gone. Instead, there is 200 btc buy support above the yesterday's low  my app says yesterdays low was 0.0014? did it miss a trade? EDIT: that low was about 36h ago Where are you trading at and with what app? I'm using Poloniex for buying my Monero, but the UI is soooo slow and nearly broken on my android. self developed @polo (but the api is slow also... sometimes more than one second to set an order (even if it doesnt get executed immediately) |

p.p.s all these MN stats r bollox if the MN's are backdoored (which they prob are)
you retarded DRK's code is fucking open sourced I was referring to the VPS providers MN ops utilize e.g. vultr and AWS You ignored my comments about evan's geo-location. Fair enuff. Not my prob anymore. Bye bye. wow... is the sdc-code review done? where can i find it? |

you retarded DRK's code is fucking open sourced you obviously dont have coding experience. otherwise you'd know how easy it is to place nefarious code in a way which is very hard to find. for starters: http://underhanded.xcott.com/( i didnt say that drk has a backdoor and to be honest i dont believe that this is the case now. ) |

most people i see use it for sig-campaigns or promoting altcoins (thats what my old hero account did) ...
Ah, so you have a pony in this race. Gotcha. Nah, bro. Selling aged accounts to be turned into spambots is plain wrong. No excuse for that, no explanation necessary. It's not even crime, just petty vandalism. The only way for it to be less wrong is if, instead of advertising some ponzi in clashing colors abhorrent to nature, the sig space openly stated: I bought this account from onemorexmr so I can make a few bucks at your expense!
I bought several of these, so when you see one-line posts with
eye-raping blue/orange BB code
telling you to earn 500% a day, remember not to reply to me--I don't speak any English anyhow. Just thank onemorexmr, he's probably aging moar to make this place un-fucking-readable.
Here's his user profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=464040
Remember to thank him now, don't forget!
lol... it took you that long to realize it? i wrote it in my first post in this thread... anyhow... you have your opionion i have mine but i know people like you... you are the one blaming the girl who gets raped for wearing sexy clothes... its the same... but you dont want to hear another opinion so i'll just leave you now. |

It's commonsensical to assume that a sold account will be used nefariously. There's also no guarantee it won't be put in a mason jar & become a beautiful work of art. But I'd rather risk infringing on the freedoms of one budding artiste than live in a wasteland of [99% predictable] scam. Sorry for the tangent/rant, just nurturing my inner Nazi. Don't hate, tolerate  no its not. most people i see use it for sig-campaigns or promoting altcoins (thats what my old hero account did). and as long as they post useful stuff i am ok with it (in the spirit of: http://xkcd.com/810/) you say precrime is bad: i think the same. but: forbidding account selling sounds like law & order to me. if there is no victim: why judge? governments also tend to forbid things people might use nefariously and i am strictly against it. i dont have a problem with your inner nazi IMHO tolerance is the most important thing between people (because all are different). why dont just tolerate account buying (btw [a little out of context] imagine a really(!) poor family.. if they can make a few dollars from a sig campaign they might be able to send their kids to school... and what they think about btc then should be obvious) |

we dont agree on this one.
and yes: if there wherent any laws against murder or rape i'd feel more insecure in the streets.
btw i am not your bro.
So you're saying scrap laws against murder and rape, to remind everyone there are murderers and rapists out there? And maybe even, you know, as a reminder, decimate the dumb sheeple once in a while, for their own safety. So they'd be super sure not to drop their guard? Sorry about that typo, btw, meant to say fagit, not bro. - mods / people like Quickseller would have a harder time to catch scams from such accounts
Just how stupid is this Quickseller? How clueless do you imagine the mods to be?
this has nothing to do with stupidity. but as you are that intelligent please tell me how a mod can see that an account is in the possession of someone else? hint: scammers dont change email, website, bitcoin address and such things You mean, how can a mod delete a thread advertising to sell accounts? And how could a mod ban a user advertising such a service? Are you sure you don't want to try to tackle this riddle yourself? I'll help if you get stuck - people would get pm's bribing them to sell their account (or they would use gox leaked email list, bitcointalk public mails and so on -> more bitcoin related spam in my inboxes)
My inbox is not flooded with offers of child porn, even though selling CP in digital goods is forbidden (AFAIK). Why is that, you suppose?
i am sure that if you where in a cp forum registered with your email that you would get such spam. i dont know that for sure because i dont visit them... but it seems logical. This forum is about account fraud & scamming? I just assumed bitcointalk was about Bitcoin, but now that you put it that way... Live and learn, I guess  you are very good at twisting words... if you instead would try to understand what i say.... but ok... i dont speak english well so i'll blame myself and try again: at first: we both know its easy to delete threads selling accounts here. try to do that somewhere else and you'll see how easy it is to really ban it. (btw. if it would be possible to really prohibit it i'd also like to see a rule that forbids selling accounts) laws about murder and rape are there to remind people who want to rape and kill that there will be people hunting and (trying to) prosecute them. i still think this is a bad example because there is a victim. in the case of an account seller there is no victim. IF the buyer starts to scam THEN there is a victim but the actual trade is just a trade: nothing more or less. he could also buy a knife <- allowed kill with a knife <- forbidden craft a knife and kill with it <- forbidden buy account <- allowed scam with an account <- forbidden create an account and scam with it <- forbidden and yes: for scammers this forum is about scamming other people (even if they dont talk about that here - at least the most dont) |

i am nearly convinced now that a big block size together with 1BLT is a threat for bitcoin as miners dont have any incentive to make smaller blocks.
Why do you want miners to have an incentive to make smaller blocks? Smaller blocks means fewer transactions, so fewer opportunities to collect fees, so less profit. Miner profit in fiat currency = number of transactions * average transaction fee * btc-to-fiat exchange rate Experience (and common sense) says that more usage of Bitcoin means a higher btc-to-fiat exchange rate, so if you want to maximize miner's fee revenue then increasing the number of transactions is the obvious way to do it. If you think that putting an artificial cap on the number of transactions will increase overall miner profit, then I urge you to find a Real Economist and talk to them about the wisdom of trying to use production quotas to keep prices artificially high. i dont want any artificial cap. in fact i want an unlimited blocksize (but i think your proposal is ok). i just think that we need an incentive for a miner not to put any transaction in a block but only those which pay a high enough to cover his(!) costs. my reasoning: - good distribution of bitcoin nodes through various asn (which also means countries which dont have a very good connection or cheap vps's as we are used to) - higher costs for transaction spammers i do just fear (as explained above) that without any incentive for smaller blocks miners will take any fee paying transaction. i am not really sure about the consequences of 1BLT/headers first. some people say that its a O(1) operation others say it isnt if it isnt: all is fine, because i feel that this is incentive enough. (i know O-notation does not really fit bandwith; but i am sure you'll get what i mean). |

While it could be argued that rules against alt accounts are unenforceable, there's nothing unenforceable about rules against selling bitcointalk accounts on bitcointalk. These rules are enforced the same way rules against posting and selling child porn are enforced: You delete the post & ban the account responsible.
Easy peasy.
that would lead to: - stupid people would trust trust/activity more and get scammed more likely As absurd as saying that laws against murder give a false sense of security, thus making it easier for murdered to kill. You even try, bro? we dont agree on this one. and yes: if there wherent any laws against murder or rape i'd feel more insecure in the streets. btw i am not your bro. - mods / people like Quickseller would have a harder time to catch scams from such accounts
