I don't know, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that.

Use the watchlist instead, it has the same functionality, and more. You can add threads without posting in them, and remove.
Yet again, I'll point out this is a suboptimal solution.

I use automatic watching to keep track of forum sections which I'm more interested in, and also use "New replies" to be even more selective.

The inability to remove threads from "New replies" is a significant drag on my productivity and the Watchlist doesn't fix this.

I see nobody has keyed in on the most troubling part of this paper. It's not that entities are performing analytics. It's this:

Quote
BitIodine allows to label users automatically or semi-automatically with information on who they are and what they do, thanks to several web scrapers that incrementally update lists of addresses belonging to known identities, and that connect information from trades recorded in exchanges, thus allowing to trace money entering and exiting the Bitcoin economy.

Just to make sure this point isn't lost, I'm going to emphasize it a bit:

One or more of the major exchanges is handing over what should be considered private customer data to third parties.
2464  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: CoinJoin: Bitcoin privacy for the real world on: December 13, 2013, 02:25:16 AM
I don't see how CoinJoin can possibly ever be effective in a situation of address reuse.

Is Blockchain.info ever going to stop doing that?

Can we expect reply from anyone involved in the project here ?
FYI most of the Armory team was in Las Vegas exhibiting at the conference. It will probably take them a few days to catch up.
2466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If confirmation takes 10 minutes, how will I buy coffee at Starbucks? on: December 12, 2013, 05:08:16 PM
I met an actuary at the Las Vegas conference and told him he should apply that to measuring double spend risk and selling insurance to merchants.

Circuit means the function must be completely unrolled in both time and space, so that there is no memory and no iteration, just logic gates. 
sounds like a great design for a hardware wallet.

Looks like about 600 in attendance here at Inside BItcoins. I'm the guy wearing the pink tutu because I'm TMIBTCITW and, moreover, bringing awareness to The Tutu Project, of which has yet to accept Bitcoin donations but, hopefully, by my action here at Inside Bitcoins, that'll change, whereupon they'll receive a $1,000 USD via bitcoins endowment from Bitcoin 100.

Sounds like fun.

The only thing that would make Vegas better is if you could pay for bottle service in BTC.
2470  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 11, 2013, 04:50:53 AM
I haven't been able to check the forum the last couple days because of this conference in Las Vegas.

Can anyone summarize the last 30 pages or so of this thread?

This is a generous as possible an explanation of Mastercoin.

The crash was basically a big profit-taking dump masquerading as supposedly negative China news in order to suck in more panic sellers for the re-buy.
This is where all the doom and gloom FUD-spreaders are going to come back into the thread and admit they were wrong/lying, right?
2474  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: research and development grants? on: December 09, 2013, 07:10:53 AM
A better platform for handling donations might help the situation.

The only general solution for recurring Bitcoin donations is redonate.net, and that's not very good.

2476  Bitcoin / Meetups / 2014-03-06: Texas Bitcoin Conference on: December 09, 2013, 03:49:30 AM
Texas Bitcoin Association is hosting a Bitcoin conference on March 6th, 2014 in Austin, Texas.

This is the Thursday before SXSW, so it's a great opportunity to catch both events in the same weekend.

And if the price goes off the trendline for very long, the trendline will shift... So how do we know whether Bitcoin has been mostly trading above or below whatever the trendline will turn out to be, so far? I'm guessing some tea leaves will be involved.
I'm not sure the long term trendline is straight on a log graph.

You can fit log10 price to an exponential curve fairly well.

The crash has almost nothing to do with the "quasi"-ban on bitcoins and everything to do with new ID verification requirements by BTCChina.

Same old story. An exchange attracts money launderers and price manipulators. Then requires ID verification. The criminals flee to another exchange.

My guess is someone will set up the new btcchina in India soon.
I would believe that, except that it doesn't make sense for somebody who doesn't want to get caught in ID verification to dump less-traceable bitcoins on BTCChina for more-traceable CNY.

That scenario would have played out like the Mt Gox withdrawal problems this summer, where traders with trapped fiat would buy bitcoins, withdraw them to another exchange, and sell there.

china crisis hit us hard and we were in full on panic mode yet @550 the market decided woohoo cheap coins! I still think anything under 1000 is cheap coins. Not sure if we'll make 4 figures next week but we'll come close.
The crisis was imaginary. What happened in China was actually good news.

Can you elaborate why ?
