I know my deposit address and payout address but I think I lost the private key to the payout address...am I shit out of luck?

I may have access to the address I used to send to the deposit address, but I'm not sure.

Is there any way to prove ownership of account and then change the payout address to one I do own?

Why does bitcoinary.com redirect to localbitcons? I hadn't followed either site since their founding, but I thought they were separate bit-businesses.

Has bitcoinary changed its name to localbitcoins? bitcoinary.com redirects there.

We need to set up a bitcoin short and market it to journalists so they can put their money where their mouth is, instead of merely spouting their next misinformed theory without consequence

Why is this site always a 502 bad gateway?? Does anyone know who operates this site so I can request a refund on the donation I sent them so many months ago?

How is it legal to announce a terms of service change without asking users to a)accept new terms, or b)withdraw money without verification and close account? If you put bitcoins into bitstamp under an old ToS, what if they just suddenly changed the ToS to include a 10% daily holding fee? Without telling you? Ridiculous.

pick one.

If stability is considered a valuable aspect of a fledgling currency, then that value would drive its demand, and would unravel its stability.

Thanks, this looks helpful for Mac users.

I did some more sleuthing for Windows users like myself, and it looks like there are a few options that aren't quite what I was looking for, but are close:

Shell Tools
http://www.moonsoftware.com/shelltools.asp
Relevant feature: "File note", which creates a txt file with duplicate file name for entering in comments. 

TagFolder
http://virtual-protect.com/tagfolder.aspx
Features a Windows Explorer shell extension that lets you right click--->tagfolder--->assign tags. Only supported on 32 bit systems.

Elyse
http://silkwoodsoftware.com/index.html
Features an external file manager system based on tagging. Not quite what I was looking for, that is, a tag/comment option that is "sticky" to the file, but maybe this works for some people.

The -wallet=<name> option looks promising, especially if there's an equivalent GUI option (eventually) that eliminates the need to search %APPDATA% and start messing around with renaming wallet.dat's. I think Armory at least lets you add a brief "nickname" tag to a particular wallet.dat, whilst in the Armory GUI. It certainly isn't a critical issue, but in the spirit of making the original bitcoin wallet grandma friendly I think it would be a big step. I know I've already corrupted a few (empty) wallets by accidentally renaming them while bitcoin qt was running. D'oh!

Wallet files must be named "wallet" (.dat) in order for bitcoin to read it on startup, so the few viruses out in the wild searching for obscure virtual currencies will have no problem finding the file, regardless of comment tags. Remotely uploading the file and sending it to the attacker, however, on top of keylogging the encryption key, that's a bit more difficult.

bump?

I often do this to other types of files, ie. .doc , but it does not seem to be supported on .dat. I am interested in a way to add such details to wallet.dat files in order to organize amongst them. I think this would be very helpful in identifying a wallet.dat file by bitcoin balance or by its designation (cold storage, spending wallet) without having to actually run bitcoin. At least, much better than merely giving the wallet.dat's different file names.

Thoughts?

I can dig it.

Is it possible to forge forum messages? What mechanism prevents an admin from doing so on this forum, or the silk road forum?

While I would question DPR for arguing against legalization (if he indeed said that) on the basis of some "holy crusade" against narcs everywhere, ultimately, his efforts to bring a viable online drug market to the masses have been highly successful (until today), and prove that such a possibility can be a reality. As long as you don't post real-identity email addresses, that is.

And what's wrong with forged documents? Or weapons?

Yeah that's it. So I guess they didn't need logs, just the indelible quote function. Silly Ross.

I found DPR's altoid account, but I don't see the silk road advert post dated January 29th, 2011. The earliest post is from February 25th, 2011, and is about running bitcoind on Debian...

I suspect DPR deleted the post (wouldn't you?) and the FBI found it by requesting logs from bitcointalk admins.

Theymos, can you confirm?

And what are you, a moderate? Enjoy having no soul.

Ugh. Posting your email on the forums, advertising SR...paying for a hit on someone.. come on man.
