care to actually make a list instead of just posting your own forum and nothing else in an act of shameless advertising spam?

So you're perfectly fine it being anonymous when you personally want to use it buy drugs or child pornography or any other nasty and illegal shit you care to name, but when you have even the vaguest suspicions that someone's money might have at one point been stolen they should have their money stripped from them and their identity revealed to all?
944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are the stolen bitcoins currently being sold on mtgox? on: June 16, 2011, 05:32:00 PM
Hey um just so you know, lack of regulation and anonymousness are what bitcoin is built on. Trying to get mtgox to regulate the market because you don't like what someones doing is the dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard.
945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very large wallet -- with lulz input on: June 16, 2011, 05:28:01 PM
Let's say it is discovered that this wallet contains stolen bitcoins from several forum users. How could they retrieve the coins? Is it ethical to put a freeze on the coins at exchanges, if this were possible?

Perhaps the best course of action would be to try to steal the wallet back, vigilante style, then return the coins to their rightful owners according to the block chain. Less some bounty of course.

If you don't want regulation in a currency don't expect to be able to do anything about it when something you don't like happens. It's bad it does but whining about it when it's a central, built in part of the currency is just fucking pathetic.

Wallets need to be encrypted by default. I think the client needs to provide a "savings" wallet with a different password that you are instructed not to use often -- for extra security.

These are changes they are making now. Encryption will be in the next release of the bitcoin client. No need to restart.

The bitcoin client loads the entire wallet, unenctypted, into memory. This is why people with VM setups and suchlike still get hacked and shit stolen.

Thats no ones cocern. If you're going to say someone can't use their money how they like because you think it's stolen, you may as well go back to using government issued, tracable, fiat money.

Stop trying to kill freedom.
948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal for bitcoins....I'm gonna try and make THE site on: June 13, 2011, 10:43:55 PM
IT'S SPECIFICALLY AGAINST THE PAYPAL TERMS OF SERVICE TO USE PAYPAL FOR CURRENCY EXCHANGE OF ANY FORM, IF YOU ATTEMT TO USE IT FOR SUCH THE ACCOUNTS INVOLVE WILL GET LOCKED.

Hope this helps.
but it's a donation they wont find out 0.o plus no money in my account >Smiley

Hmm yes because large amounts of money moving hands extremely quickly won't get your account automatically locked by the paypal mod-bots, nosiree.

For a privacy oriented crytocurrency it sure is really fucking easy to riffle through other peoples bank records. This needs something done about it, I don't leave my bank statements lying around on the sidewalk for any degenerate gutter trash to read, so why should it be the same for bitcoin?
951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [WTF] MtGox moving ~432k BTC (4 to 12 million $) to a single address ! on: June 13, 2011, 01:08:23 AM
Seriously, it's thoughts like this that are destroying bitcoin. If people keep this "huh something I don't understand is going on IT MUST BE THE GOVERNMENT DOING IT TO DESTROY ME" the only thing people will think when they think bitcoin is insane, tinfoil hat wearing loonies and it'll never be taken seriously, and I don't want that to happen, So please stop doing it.

Destroying Bitcoin?

People will post what they post. The internet makes it so easy to be the unshaven, unwashed, whiskey breathing, flea ridden guy standing on the corner with a cardboard box sign that says "The end is nigh, commit your first born unto me". No serious investor makes a move because of something some random guy said on an internet forum. And if they do, thank Stimpy that we can profit from their lack of insight and shortsightedness.

If no one invests in making their marketplace or site bitcoin capable because all they see is insane paranoid scheziophrenics who believe the government wiretapped their bathroom to steal their bitcoins then how is it ever going to get popular support? I want bitcoin to succeed, it's an excellent idea but currently the community seems to be really trying to destroy it (announcing they're going to use it for tax evasion, purchasing drugs, government conspiracies and such like).

This transaction (432kBTC) is MtGox moving money.

Why is mtgox moving so much money ??

Compromised server ? Japanese governement raid ? Routine maintenance ?

Something smells pretty fishy...

I'll be very reassured when trading is possible again and funds withdrawable...

Quit trying to mooch off of other people and make your own damn money.
954  Economy / Economics / Re: MtGox huge buy on: June 12, 2011, 04:22:24 PM
The market is being played like a fiddle by someone. Down 60% one day, up 50% the next, Insanity! But great fun
Kind of a shame it's destroying the integrity of the currency as an actual currency really. I really hate people who agree with this sort of thing. Bitcoin isn't going to get popular acceptance by any major company if its jumping around like a kangaroo riding a pogo stick while on crack.
955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should the exchanges close on the weekends? on: June 12, 2011, 03:40:56 PM
So wait, bitcoin is built in the principles of no regulation, yet you ask for some parts of it to be regulated? That's just stupid.
956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the Russian Federation so interested in Bitcoin on: June 12, 2011, 03:34:18 PM
Russia likes bitcoin since it's (unfortunately) an excellent way to launder money. Flooz The last big online currency was so rife with this it was actually shut down because of it. It's a shame but sadly something all too prevalent with online currencies.
957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Speculators have bailed, good, PLEASE start building bitcoin businesses now on: June 12, 2011, 01:38:06 PM
But in order for it to get any better those that wish to be paid in Bitcoin need to actually price things in Bitcoin, that means denominating accounting spreadsheets, valuing inventory, pricing inputs, et cetera—in Bitcoin. The calculus for your ROI looks completely different that way, and if you don't do it you will loose money.

Precisely. BTC are not a synonym for dollars. Price in BTC and stick to it. I am doing so with loans I put out.

Companies attempt to turn a profit, which is why they operate. If they can't reliably turn a profit in btc due to it's volatility, no one will use it.
958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Lulzsec partly to blame for the bitcoin crash? on: June 12, 2011, 12:34:28 AM
did anyone heard about LulzSec week before ?
i mean, how do you sure, they are not feds undercover ?
or exist at all ?

It's rampant tinfoil hat paranoia about how the government is apparantly out to get you which results in stupid shit like this occuring you know, all it does is make supporters of bitcoin look like anti-establishment anarchist nutjobs.
959  Economy / Economics / Re: do you really think it's over? on: June 12, 2011, 12:30:30 AM

Yes, merchants LOVE the idea of having to change the price of their merchandise every 10 minutes because of massive parabolic price fluctuations.  Nothing is better than having to renegotiate with a customer over how the intial payment they sent now won't even cover the shipping to send the item out.

Bitcoin will stabilize. And this happens with any currency; it's why all the airlines are bankrupt.

No, airlines are bankrupt due to the belief that a finite resource (oil) will stay a low price forever despite the increase in it's consumption and the depletion of it's reserves, coupled with an increase in "low price" fares which don't even turn a profit.
960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using bitcoin to try to solicit ddos attacks isn't helping bitcoins popularity on: June 12, 2011, 12:08:14 AM
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/hx1s9/buying_ddos_somethingawfulcom_5_btc_per_hour/

Which one of you fucking moronic assbrains did this? Bitcoin is already on fairly shaky ground with the silkroad and potential terrorist/pedo funding things and adding more fuel to the fire by getting bitcoin known as a currency used by hackers to solicit DDOS attacks is only going to make bitcoin fail. If you have any fucking decency you'll take that shit down this fucking instant and never attempt to use it to do something as fucking moronic as this again.

You forget my friends that people love to be slaves.  It makes them feel safe.

You forget that deliberately bringing about the downfall of the system they're using isn't exactly the best way to keep it safe?
