Nope i don't get it as well.
So wtf ?
I'm guessing there is an hidden transaction behind, possibly for money laundring. OK, but what is the base of this accusation ? And how is one supposed to deduce that from the auction content ? |

Yes, I (and everyone in my country) know what Denatured Alcohol is  . Actually, i have a bottle at my house right now - I use it to start fire in the stove. So you mean the excise tax - taxing the use of drugs... I was wondering what was that about. |

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [PATCH] UPnP
|

Learn from FreeBSD and other decent OS. Stuff is off by default. Stuff opening ports to world wild web is definitely off by default. Erm, no. Services may be disabled by default, certainly, but once you start (for example) Apache, it listens to port 80 by default. You don't have to jump through extra hoops to configure a port. Likewise, distros won't auto-launch bitcoind by default, but when the user does so, they should reasonably expect it to listen. An unfounded possible vulnerability is no excuse to make things harder for the user than they have to be. There could just as well be a vulnerability in the transaction code, or anywhere else that is going to be exposed to all nodes regardless. If you don't trust the bitcoin wallet you're using to be secure, you shouldn't be using it period. It is primary function of Apache to listen on port 80 and it is still not using UPnP. It is not primary function of bitcoin to listen on port 8333 while breaking out holes in badly configured routers/firewalls. Your argument is flawed. Try again. Vladimir is 100% right. Everything that is not needed for an application's primary function to function, should be turned off by default. Also, UPnP is overall one big security hole. If somebody enables it, he should know what he is doing. By enabling UPnP by default, you are making computer-illiterate people create security holes. |

Well i hope he logins on the forum at least once to confirm that tsunami / quake hasn't killed him.
"Is Satoshi Alive" is a serious question now, if he really is Japanese.

Questions for silkroad:
1. Do you truecrypt your server's hard drives ?
2. Do your sellers support GPS GeoCaching ?
EDIT:
And finally:
How do you know that one of the sellers is not a FBI/CIA/Interpol/MiB/Whatever agent ?
Do you verify these people yourself ?

if the $/BTC doesn't shoot up before the next 20996 blocks, miners will start quitting
In agreement with you 100% there. and bitcoins will fail as no businesses will want to do anything with bitcoins either
I'm not quite sure the relationship there. Bitcoin needs enough miners to protect bitcoin's integrity. How many, I've not clue, but I might be satisfied that that the 50 btc per-block reward, and then the 25 btc per-block reward after block 210,000 will keep a sufficient number of miners around. Falling and rising number of miners is just self-balancement of the Bitcoin economy. If there are too many miners, their number should decrease. If there are not enough miners, their number should increase. Nothing but simple market mechanics to see here, moving on. |

This has been in progress for a very long time. 1. Create several semi-global currencies - Euro for Europe, Amero for America, Pan Asian for Asia. 2. Abolish these and create one global fiat disaster, called Bancor. 3. ?? ?? 4. PROFIT !!!! Ah, and later, create new world order. They aren't even hiding this anymore, but talking straight about creating new world order: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP99suaJQxM |
