I think a lot of these "hacks" were inside jobs where the owners or employees just took the money and ran. How can a cold wallet get "hacked"? Really? I don't believe it for a second. Anyway, all of these hacks combined pale in comparison to this 1 billion dollar fiat hack: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/02/15/hackers-steal-billion-in-banking-breach/23464913/At least a lot of these really poorly run businesses will cease to exist. Bitcoin companies that don't take security seriously and adhere to best practices will not last long in this environment. the security costs a LOT. Imagine that a bank can spend tens of millions and they can be hacked. How can a small-medium exchange business to hire very good programmers? impossible. even you take the security very serious, they don't have the resources to do it. a small-medium exchange is earning around of 5-7K per month, maybe less. a very good programmer cost around 90-100 USD/hour. a good server administrator is the same. the initial website costs a lot too. |

I'm sorry, but with the amount of thefts and hacks this month alone, only regulation and compliance is the real way: https://blog.gemini.com/welcome-to-gemini/Basically we tried to it do it our way in our playground, but there's no one in charge to put anyone in timeout for the bad kid that continues to give all the good kids titty twisters and indian rope burns. It's inevitable and indisputable, gotta regulate, yo! Not sure how Decentralized Exchanges like Coinffeine or BitSquare will turn out, but doesn't look like they have the resources to compete with the scope and scale Gemini is going for. Bitcoin is all about NON regulation, no GOV did you forget?  |

It has become an habit for an Exchange to claim it was hacked......just to run away with the cash bag! MtGox BTC-e CAVIRTEX ...what's next? You can't never know the truth. it may be very true. poor programming is the cause of hacking. even a very strong programmer team cannot guarantee that you cannot be hacked. however it's very expensive to hire very good programmers.... also, you have to hire permanently a programmer and a server admin. i don't think that a small-medium exchange service can afford a such thing |

Newbie accounts are never taken seriously. To many other shills trying to discredit other in the hope to further their own interest. {They may be the competition}
Fact is... It's a FUN casino, with loads to offer and I have WON a lot of coins.
All casino's {Real & Online} rig their machines and games to enable a house edge.... So you not playing at a place, where everything is in your favor anyway.
Casino's are a business like any other, and they have to show a profit. If they "rig" their games for nobody to be able to WIN... they will go out of business... Now why would someone want to do that?
This guy just lost and now he wants to blame the casino. {Gambler regret}
very true what you are saying. the word "scam" is too much used and sometimes without any sense.... |

hopefully you can get back up on your feet, $300 is a one weeks paycheck, so you can buy back bitcoin due the recent price drops.
OP is a scammer, he deserved it.Karma got him. And OP has written arround 100k$ in bad checks... any proof for that? |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did precursors to Bitcoin Fail?

Well, those things weren't decentralized. ...
That's what I was going to say. There really are no precursors of bitcoin. The examples you gave were attempts to make traditional systems work in a digital environment. Bitcoin is a digital native, and when combined with the lack of central authority it is truly different. It is a revolutionary development in the evolution of money. This implies that the technology itself was not that important but rather the implementation and momentum. Makes Bitcoin seem more fad than revolution with that narrative. For me I would rather hear that Bitcoin implemented something in the algorithm that was truly unique and revolutionary that until that point represented a fatal flaw that would not allow the distributed momentum to ever take hold. I would say that the protocol is brilliant, but does not include much revolutionary code. Except for perhaps the blockchain, It is more of a revolutionary system. As long as it is the fastest, safest, and cheapest way to send money it is not going anywhere. the credit cards are the cheapest way and the "safest". BTC propaganda is spreading a lot of lies regarding to this thing. BTC is not free and not safe. a lot of hackings, a lot of problems. |

I feel that this guy was lying. he is a newbie, and so i dont believe him to have 180BTC with him.
I feel that he just wanted to thug cryptsy by making false claims.
If that was true, I am sure we would have seen Cryptsy Comment on the thread on Reddit. It was on the front page for a long time. even if it wasnt true ,they would still need to issue a comment on it ,prefarably ASAP in their own interests ............. why someone would comment on Reddit or on any other forum? |

This guy deposited another fake check to my brand New BOA account worth $650 yesterday. My account is now in risk of closure. That's thousands of dollars worth of losses if I can't trade bitcoins through BOA. This is crazy.
He for some reason has Marites Cabling Hernandez on his closed Washington Mutual account. Is that his mother or his sister? She's now an accomplice to the crime. Hopefully putting all involved members in prison. I have all my docs ready. Going into speak to the detectives tom. Wish me luck!
This guy has committed mass fraud. It is only a matter of time before he goes to prison for quite a long time. Wire fraud, check fraud to name a couple. Easily 10+ years with the amount of counts and the loss of the crimes. maybe he lives in Ecuador or Costa Rica not in USA |

i just got to know that rollin.io is a scam.
It doesnt show you prehashed server seed and so this means you cannot confirm your bet and so they have the ability to control your rolls.
This makes them not provably fair!
So i advice you all to stay away.
have you been scammed or is it only a supposition? |
