Hello to all!

I recently gave a talk about Bitcoin to a group of business and university professors, and in that talk I said that Satoshi Nakamoto had solved the "Bizantine Generals Problem".

I had read that from several documents and also heard it from a couple of prominent Bitcoin talkers.
To my surprise, one professor disputed my affirmation, got up, and said that another person had solved it before. He mentioned the name but I forgot it.

Now I'm perplexed about the issue and want to know what the real story is, so I can contact this person and conciliate the truth with him.

Can anybody point me to some authoritative evidence on this subject so I can refute or accept this guy's claim?

Thanks a lot,

Rodrigo

[They still owe me $3,000 USD from failed ACH transactions that never entered my bank account, and were never returned to my CampBX account]

Hi to all,

I agree, this is not the time to bring up another sad BTC exchange story after what happened to MtGox.

But, I'm having a bad experience with the US Based CampBX exchange.
It's been since December and they still have not resolved my issue.
I think I have been very patient... waiting for months and nothing gets solved 

So, what's my problem?
They still owe me $3,000 USD from failed ACH transactions that never entered my bank account, and were never returned to my CampBX account

No Support:
They do not answer tickets promptly and customer support is nonexistent.
It gets very frustrating after a while when you realize that nothing moves there especially when it is related to withdrawing funds.
I have showed them using their own "Trade History" my initial BTC deposits, my dollar buys, and my successful withdrawals.
But my ticket stays basically a monolog, no updates from them  for weeks

My only hope right now is to post my issue here, make it public for all to know, and maybe the CampBX staff will be honest and diligent enough to look into my case and solve it in a satisfactory way.

I did contact Keyur @ Camp BX https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15102 in this forum.
He is the person that owns CampBX.
Mr Keyur was very prompt in answering my PM with:

"I have asked treasurer to look into your ticket with urgency and we will resolve it before tomorrow AM."

Well, that was written on February 10th and nobody has contacted me and nothing has been done ever since

Now I have made my homework and have found and read many negative posts all around here about CampBX, their poor service, and their tendency to retain customer funds.
You are welcome to search the forums for further opinions on CampBX

Any ideas on how to make CampBX finally solve my issue will be greatly appreciated.

After all this, I do not trust exchanges anymore...  better to spend your BTC instead of "giving it away" to exchanges

I will be posting any news in regards to my case.
Regards to all,

Rodrigo
