Die Stadtwerke gehen neue Wege in Sachen Bezahlmöglichkeiten: Der Energieversorger akzeptiert nicht mehr nur den Euro als Zahlungsmittel, sondern seit neuestem auch die virtuelle Währung Bitcoin.

Someone is trying to connect to my Bitcoin-Qt 0.11.0 about every 5 seconds:

2015-08-14 17:14:15 receive version message: /BitCoinJ:0.12SNAPSHOT/Satoshi:0.11.0/: version 70001, blocks=369862, us=127.0.0.1:8333, peer=1620

Does anybody know anything about this?

My Bitcoin-Qt 0.11.0 is crashing while trying to synchronize.
I have tried using a different drive for the datadir, but no luck.
Does anyone here have an idea what's going on?

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Announces Charges Against Bitcoin Exchangers, Including Ceo Of Bitcoin Exchange Company, For Scheme To Sell And Launder Over $1 Million In Bitcoins Related To Silk Road Drug Trafficking
http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys/pressreleases/January14/SchremFaiellaChargesPR.php

http://heise.de/-1782688
As you can guess from the headline it's about the Ruby On Rails exploit.
Someone has stolen Bitcoins from Vircurex and Cryptostocks.
They even link to this forum.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21628925.200-virtual-economy-looms-as-digital-cash-grows-up.html?full=true
Nice article. They even mention the ASICs.
Printed version in New Scientist Issue number 2892.

Is it just me, or is the forum really slow at the moment?

Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
