Here's a fun little anomaly... The "manipulator" is so powerful, he transcends time.  +1 ... haha , that just made my night! In which direction would he travel? Forward or backward? |

I'm aware that "Feeling Tersed" is improper grammar. It was penned tongue-in-cheek because I used the word terse and its derivatives(?) several times in the post. But now that you mentioned it, and as I penned this reply, I am mistaken. For as it stands, even if incorrect, it's like I'm stating that here is my tersed reply to your terseness, which is not the case. I didn't want to come across as terse myself--just state how I feel/felt. The rest of the post I'm stating behind at this penning. A little sensitive are we Phinnaeus? I didn't really understand you comment either, so I can see why tetra4c misinterpreted it. How exactly were you complimenting him?
I just reread my original post that tetra4c committed on. OOPS!!! As I read it now, you seem correct. I blame that post on the Bossa Nova German beer being tired (that's the ticket) when I wrote it. That said, I can now see how tetra4c can easily misinterpret it, although I still feel that his post came across--can I say?--terse, to me. Sorry if I came across sensitive, but at the time, it hit my sensitive nerve. I would like to offer up an olive branch to tetra4c, and if he accepts it, I would also like to pledge 1 BTC by proxy to the Bitcoin100 in his name, if he states to me that he wouldn't mind if I do such. No apology on his part is needed. Note to self: Keep your fuckin' mouth pen shut, otherwise it could become expensive. Bruno Hi Bruno, It's aaaaalllll good - no problems! Yes, my remark was not-so-nice but I think you see how I perceived your remark. Admittedly, I’m *horrible* at PR stuff for TH and that's why I typically stay away from it. I try to satisfy everyone but it's almost impossible. When I try too, it often comes off as "cotton-balling" as one person described it. It’s something I’m improving. I'd like to participate from a more neutral stand point in the forums and hence I created this account. I'm not concerned if people know it's me but I'd prefer that every time I post *the regulars* don't point and say, "Hey, it's Adam from TH". I know to some extent that’ll be impossible because of the role we play – but, so be it! Plus, our ethics ARE important. I think most people who know us see that we are straight business people. Mind you, for TH related items I still log in as Adam S (TradeHill). So, that’s it! Slam down a ‘bier’ for me – just don’t go getting crazy on the forums drunk! You also have my apologies for the not-so-nice remarks in the post! Regards, Adam Stradling |

And that is only the stuff that happened after Jun 2011 Before that there was: 1) Network barely alive all through 2009 2) Wikipedia article deleted 3) People losing all their bitcoins because they didn't back up wallet after every send. 4) Serious security holes discovered in client v0.3 5) "nenolod" attemps DOS attack 6) Flash crash from 0.06 to 0.03 USD, market manipulation? 7) Faucet abuse  GPU miner monopolies 9) GPU miner bounty scams 10) Paypal chargeback scams 11) Mtgox frozen for 3 weeks in Oct 2010 because of Paypal scammers. Funds forcibly converted to LR. 12) Credit card scammers 13) Paypal boycotts Bitcoin 14) Satoshi disappears suddenly without even as much as a goodbye. 15) Bitcoin 2 Credit Card shut down. 16) btcex scandal ... I call it healthy evolutionary pressure +1 Only the strong and most adaptive survive! |

Once you realize you're pitching to that crowd, I think it's important to focus on the excitement and the romance of bitcoins, rather than the bottom line. The mysterious Satoishi Nakamoto. That French guy who runs a forex in Japan. That Irishman who runs a stock exchange out of China. The Indian guy who started a mining company, failed, but paid back all his shareholders out-of-pocket.
This is the wild west. It's a gold rush. And here's your opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
Even the failures can be told as stories full of intrigue and deception. The mysterious Tom Williams pulling off the con of the century!
Here it is - the saga. I don't think I missed a point! http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/4/It's certainly the wild west. Who's the Sheriff? |

Pay it no mind, teflone. The following is his first post using that user name.
Wow - Ya got me - Unmasked I know people know this is my username. Not like I couldn't use one of the unidentified ones I have. Or create a new one in two secs. It's also my IRC name so I'm obviously not tring to hide anything. I'd prefer to be able to speak my thoughts outside of TradeHill, but everytime I post something Sherlock Holmes comes around and makes 2+2. As for my statement being "BS" as in "Bullshit" as in a "lie" - check yourself - because at least 80% is verifiably cold hard TRUTH. The faster you face that, the faster the problems will get solved. I've been through all these things first hand. We still get up every morning and conduct business. Heck! Our company covered the massive Dwolla losses *ourselves*. That was YOUR money they took from us! Yankee said it himself - investor's ask these questions! You'd better be ready to answer. Having gotten angel investment, we answered them! Truly, |

Yankee, Here's what you’ll have to explain to investors: 1). Bitcoin7 - scam 2). MyBitcoin - likely a scam 3). Bruce Wagner – Just the allegations are disturbing 4). Mt. Gox – This will need bullet points. a). Hacked b). Credited millions to over 100 accounts during DB transfer. In one hour 400k in BTC was bought - hrm c). Sent money to black hole. d). 60k user names leaked i). Role backs 5). FNIB? 6). Runnin my BTC exchange on lunch break between History and Chemistry. 7). Wallet Trojans . Mt.Gox and Tradehill phishing scams. 9). Blackmail anyone? 10). Spam 11). DWOLLA quietly charging back funds …. not telling anyone. 12). ExchB didn’t steal anyone’s money … fffeeewww! 13). Market manipulation. 14). Silk Road 15). DDOS attacks 16). Chuck Schumer – “Bitcoin is money laundering” 17). Russian Mob 18). Russian Mob Payment Providers 20). Pattaya – “Three pronged attack” 21). Bitomat PLN 22). Tom Williams – “Smoking Gun” 23). “Other” Coin – trucoin, solidcoin, mooncoin, ixcoin, namecoin – Which coin? 24). CosbyCoin – That was just funny though! 25). Bank Freezes 26). "Tell me about the creator. Oh, Satoshi!" 27). 51% attacks That’s allot to explain in one meeting. Does someone want to make a PPT? Tell them that through all this, bitcoin usage continues to grow. We've been through ALLOT. The legit people in this community have one thing in common: perseverance! This could be an awesome movie one day. |

How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove fly,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind
...... up next The List

France wasn't the first. Holding depo's was already in 'the books'.
The first decision from a Central Bank was made a few weeks ago. Everyone will find out in a public release within 3 to 5 weeks.
Its positive.
One country in Europe has 'classified' Bitcoin. Other countries will follow, albiet slowly.
Blah!

It seems most of the community realized B7 wasn't safe. It's too bad something couldn't have been done beforehand. I wonder who is next.

Let's hope the technical analysis at http://blog.bitcoinwatch.com/ is right! One observation - there is a learning curve for using, believing and trusting in Bitcoin. After this last cycle, anyone I talk too *at least* knows about Bitcoin. That's got to be a positive. Eventually, they should become more comfortable using it (hopefully). Now if people would stop selling their coins the price could actually go up a bit or two!  |
