Hmmm bitdefender blocked my browser from loading this website... Looks like that page either currently has, previously had or was flagged as containing malware :/

Such attacks cost money, and while they may disrupt the network temporarily, it does not hurt the network for long. I doubt they will keep it up because it serves no ones interest. Even an entity that wants to crush bitcoin can only suppress it a bit as long as they keep paying. What can they do? Pay forever?
I agree with Rodeo. Eventually the attacker(s) will get board and start running low on funds. Once they realize the large impact they are trying to make is actually very small and is not worth the effort.

Ok that worked, now is there some way to shut the beeps up when you switch to the alert tab?
I thought the user would just go to a different page or close the tab... Do you think I should add a button to stop the sound?

I added a Transaction Confirmation Notifier. Enter in your transaction hash and it will sound an alarm once your transaction confirms. http://btcwidget.com/notify.php![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFfho33j.png%3F1&t=663&c=4F6k3-3TkNOScA) Ok so what happened with this in FF 39 was that when the TX confirmed, focus was stolen from my current tab, a dialog box popped up, and after I clicked OK, the beep-beep-beep x infinity alarm started. Ooops thanks Butterzone, I forgot I added that in while testing something earlier today. I have removed the alert box.

1. Bitcoin is on the cusp of becoming an asset that cannot be taken down. The next bubble will push bitcoin to such large market cap that nothing can stop it. So if there is any hope you could destroy it now is your last shot.
Bravo, agreed. 2. Governments should be threatened by Bitcoin, it can and likely will change everything about global finance. Certainly, the CIA and FBI have a vested interest in keeping Bitcoin at bay. I think it is actually foolish to think a government like the USA or China would not have every single bitcoin weakness outlined and be poised to attack at the right time. Hell, if a government can infiltrate firmware for nuclear power plants in Iran, they can attack bitcoin. Stuxnet was a piece of code that dialed in to affect a very specific hardware, down to the serial #s, at the nuclear power plant. There was a very good documentary on this, but I can't find it right now. IMO this could not have been done unless they had someone on the inside. How would they attack miners or nodes when it's not an easy centralized target like the power plant? 3. Technical weaknesses may not even be the attack vector. A well funded and thoughtful attack on the opposition would mean all weaknesses will be exploited. The best ones for Bitcoin are probably human. Governments are masters at social engineering people to do what they want (see the Democratic and Republican parties), certainly they can infiltrate Bitcoin devs and destroy it from within, or take some large miners and turn them into nothing more than spies and internal terrorists by simply paying them off. I've thought about this as well. They could persuade the core devs with commit access, but I don't think they can persuade all the users as well. People could just stay and use an old version if bitcoin is changed to something that the users do not want. But they could sneak some changes in I suppose. They could technical ruin bitcoin, but wouldn't an altcoin just rise in it's place? 4. Bitcoin is not really prepared for war, it has become a game of appeasement, not a fight to the death. Alt-coins have come and gone without even a chink in the btc armor. Bitcoiners are prideful; the blockchain and mining are indisputable winners in the battle for immortality. It is as if that battle has already been won. Nothing about Bitcoin development: mining, chat discussions, and general bitcoin chatter take war seriously at all. Bitcoin is weak because the only way to survive what is coming is maniacal focus on survival, which focus today simply does not exist.
Sure this is crazy talk, but if you really believe Bitcoin is so disruptive don't you know that an attack MUST be coming?
I am saying no doubt about it, Bitcoin is vulnerable and about to be attacked on possibly many fronts, prepare to witness carnage.
I say, Engarde!!

I saw a post on twitter that said people are selling tons and tons "irrationally". It completely reminded me of the bitcoin bear market and I thought, ahh so that's where the bearwhale went. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I really don't get it, this seems stupid. Who is going to mine Citicoin? No one, except for the company CitiBank. So it will be entirely centralized and defeats the whole purpose of trying to mimic the way the blockchain works. How long is it going to take these guys to realize that someone has already tried this, they're called altcoins shitcoins.

Do you have any counter method to avoid bots? I mean, a bot can be programmed to count time and push it when timer is 0.000001
Their FAQ says they monitor it and they have measures in place to prevent people cheating with bots. They don't say how they do it though.

Reminder? That was more of a depressing bull buzz kill What about "Reminder: Bitcoin Went From $8 to $260 in just 3 years!"

One good sign, though: bitcoin price totally ignored the false block mining fiasco. Few months ago we would have lost at least 10% on that.
Agreed. That's a very good point I was expecting the price to react to that as well. If that happened during the bear trend there would have been a major drop.

Do I have to have SSL in order for this to work? I tried forking it to my site and the layout popped up for a second and then firefox said "this site is not trusted blah blah blah" since I don't have SSL. I added an exception and then I get a 404 error :/ My uri redirect I put it regular HTTP instead of HTTPS but it auto-redirects to HTTPS.
fix the app.js entry for that lol I did change the redirect uri in the app.js but it still forces it over to https after loading causing a 404 error. I take it that you have set redirect uri to => redirect_uri: ' http://www.your-domain.................', Find these lines in app.js // - Set this to true if you want users that come to http:// to be redirected // to https:// force_https_redirect: !isRunningLocally() Change it to // - Set this to true if you want users that come to http:// to be redirected // to https:// //force_https_redirect: !isRunningLocally() Thanks Hamburger that was it! Mega facepalm! How did I not see that? The dev even commented it out! Sometimes the things hardest to find are right in front of my face. LOL All is working well now that I commented out the force_https_redirect thanks!

I totally know what a "no" vote means, but just for those too embarrassed to ask, what would it mean? Absolutely, Tsipras will put up a referendum on whether to accept the latest Troika proposed deal, also called the "yes vote", or decline it, also called the "no vote". A yes vote will in theory be an order for the Greek government to accept the deal and make new significant cuts in the budget, the no vote will mean that Greece will not pay its IMF debt and ECB debt, and will effectively go into default. credit from reddit ELI5: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/3bdtpf/could_anyone_please_eli5_the_greek_referendum_to/

So are we going to break 270 today ladies and gents? Nice little pump going on this Sunday morning. The sells are getting eaten no problem, no walls in the way!
Can't go on forever. Candles are pretty long but can't expect it to go on forever, not as strong as the mighty China push (or whatever it was) ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) LOL "green candles can't go on forever". We've had red candles for 18 months straight. We get one month of green candles, and the bears are already calling in the top. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Moneypot which is know known as bustabit.com is probably my favorite. I don't like to gamble much anymore though since it's addicting and so easy to lose money when you can do it in your underwear and on your couch
