Be careful, if a weird russian approaches you with a ransom request.

I had a guy approach me and asking $5000 via LR, when I said no he said he'd attack again, and generated a ddos. His ddos was different from what I had before, so I'd guess lots of people are seeing in bitcoin an opportunity to make money.

I strongly recommend against doing anything those guys request, and even replying may be a bad idea, just click "spam".

Thanks for the info. (Un)fortunately it will be long before we even have that much there. Still, we must do something about that, but I don't think I can afford paying for a dedicated server with DDoS protection. Any idea how much that would cost per month?

Try the VPS service from Diablo-D3 (ask him on IRC, he'll show you)

BitMarket is on a VPS already. I was thinking about a DS. Is mtgox on a DS?

Yes, from what I read it's on 4 Dedicated Servers and it's right now behind Black Lotus apparently.

Black Lotus prices start from 1000 dollars a month from what I read on their website.

I recommend if you are short on money to maybe sell some shares on the bitcoin stock exchange or start a bitcoin donation drive of some sort so you can get the money to keep the site up and running.

I don't get all the craze with paypal.

For small amonts, just mail cash to Madhatter, it's not difficult:

https://www.bitcoin4cash.com/

NanaimoGold offers bitcoins for cash deposit in US or Canadian bank. It costs nothing and pretty much instant.

Also check out something called Western Union, alot of people are taking it.

Also your bank should offer "wire". Use that for large amonts. Mtgox offers instant deposit through wire.

Seriously, Paypal is shit, and should be dead and rotting in hell like Osama.

Open your minds up to other forms of payment that doesn't make an exchanger's life hell, like Paypal, in terms of chargebacks, and makes your life hell, in terms of random freezing and verification.

I am starting to think that most of these people whining about Paypal are trolls...Bitcoin is not going to die just because people in US can't buy it with their credit cards/paypal anymore.  Roll Eyes

They just have to explore paypal alternative like the rest of us that can't get Paypal accounts.

I fully support the use of Blowfish.

I do not support the usage of AES at all and sees it's popularity as absurd. Besides the rumours of a NSA backdoor, it is basically a very weak cipher that is mostly broken and will probably be fully broken in the coming years.

I would rather use Blowfish than AES and as such I applaud the owners of Ubitex for choosing Blowfish instead of AES like everyone else.

Quote from: Mahkul

The "deposit mode" will be there within a week (hopefully) along with some other new features. Smiley


Please include the ability to transfer USD from one account to another, just like MtGox.
