Sometimes things can't get resolved because one side isn't ready yet. I am not too too sure why it can't be resolved.
This is exactly why. The holier-than-thou attitude. Just admit you've been posting false information about me. And then delete it. Until you do, I have nothing more to say to or about you. After you do, we can talk. |

Yeah, don't reply to crash threads, just make a whole new thread about crash threads.

Honestly, neither of the negative feedbacks really means much since you aren't on DefaultTrust and you have no particular reference to what happened. The only reference is you defending a known scammer named 'Bono'?
Instead of escalating the situation and trying to get people to leave him undeserved red, you could easily resolve the situation with him. Mutually deleting the negative trust would have squashed it all but you wanna push it cause of ego?
1) I once traded with someone named 'Bono' and he didn't scam me. So I left positive feedback. When he was being accused of scamming, though, I asked for concrete proof because I had dealt with him personally and he wasn't a total asshat at the time. Once it became apparent he was scamming others, I left negative feedback. 2) I am not pushing anything due to ego. He abused the trust system by posting lies about me. Mutually deleting actual negative reviews off of his profile would just be rewarding bad behavior. Yeah, that's the long and the short of it  I'll just keep this thread handy in case I'm ever questioned. Zank you Bitcointalk! |

Long story short, some guy, in February, got butthurt about a comment I made on this forum, and posted several negative 'trust' thingies on my profile. In response, I posted one on his profile plainly stating that he is dishonest. No biggie. Well, this guy recently messaged me asking me if we could mutually delete those negative reviews from each others' profiles. I said absolutely not, because he publicly posted lies about me that stayed online for about 6 months, while conversely, anything and everything I had posted regarding him were truths. He spazzed out and went back through my post history, confronting me on several things I said that could be seen as negative or controversial, basically trying to extort me. I brushed it off because I'm so cool, obviously.  So anyway, shortly thereafter he started acting like he was doing me a favor, and deleted those negative reviews, restoring a positive (or neutral, depending on your settings) trust rating on my account. When he realized I wasn't going to do the same for him, he came right back and posted more false negatives on my profile. Now, this isn't a huge deal because I'm not a very active trader here, especially when my BTC-e account actually works But my question is simply: what do I do? What CAN I do? There doesn't appear to be any means of expunging these false reports. In the past I tried seeking helping from TomatoCage (resident forum coolguy) and he didn't/couldn't really do much. Are there any measures for dealing with this type of guy? He won't go away, because he is dead-set on becoming a trusted 'Senior Member', which is the reason he is hounding me so hard about those negative reviews. It makes me wonder what his end-goal is. Anyway... What would you do?

This is comforting but I wonder if we'll be able to say the same in November.
This. Once December hits and we aren't at $1,000 I think some of you to-the-moon weirdos might finally calm down. Not to say I wouldn't like moon |

This already happened.
Most altcoin prices went up because they are usually just traded against Bitcoin by people hoping for a profit. Then a bunch of new altcoins came along (Dogecoin being the most popular).
Most of them offered nothing new, were gimmicky, or sucked, and faded into obscurity when Bitcoin mania wore off.
It has happened before and may happen again. Altcoins are kind of a drag.

Apologies if this is a little too 'Meta', but I'd like to gauge how all you speculators view this place. You know, get a better grasp of exactly why you post here/read posts here so that I know what to expect from it in the future.
BONUS question -
I find myself reading Speculation too often myself... what is it that keeps you coming back?

I still don't know what the Bitcoin Foundation even does. I tried to find out more about them but they lock parts of their website, wanting to charge you ungodly amounts of money to become a member and read their discussions.
It honestly just seems like a cool kids club for nerds. Zero appeal.

I use their website so often I'd feel compelled to give, if it wasn't run by a bunch of spiteful high-functioning autists.

Hopefully the price rises. I could really use some money right now...
You have money. |

http://nourishingliberty.com/disaster-triumph-stolen-bitcoins/[1] In my case, I was watching it happen in real time and unable to do anything. I had 2 factor authentication enabled for my wallet. I got an email from the authy app stating that my account had been reset and to click the link to verify it and that if I had not done that to ignore the email. I had not done anything so I ignored the email.
And get away from Coinbase. Their response to this situation has been horrible. Through lack of availability when the incident started to the flaws in their system that allows what I am finding to be prevalent hacking, their response is awful. Coinbase is worse than useless. As I speak to others about my experience, I realize that this is a common perception within the community. ... this is the second case of hacking that i am aware of. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/27suip/coinbase_compromised/[2] why hasn't coinbase support addressed this breach of security? edit just found this : https://hackerone.com/reports/5786[3] how unprofessional is coinbase to not address any of these issues publicly? i personally have not been hacked but am doing a PSA to avoid any possibility of another neobee or goxxing. [1] Her email was hacked not coinbase. [2] "The weakest link in any chain is the user and we have no way of verifying that you don't have a keylogger on your computer or connected your iPhone to an insecure or compromised wifi network. Sorry, but there are too many holes to determine if this was a legitimate hack with the fault on Coinbase." - occams razor [3] Coinbase response to the concerns bryan raised seemed adequate. You too can find out information like this, and more through the power of reading! I don't even use coinbase. I'm just a guy that writes software that hates users that blame software when they are the ones at fault. This. For a sensible person it's actually HARD to get hacked. I only ever log into Coinbase from one computer, and my username and password there are different from any other site where I have an account. If I were hacked it would have to be my dog who did it. |

Didn't see this anywhere else. Apologies if repost. http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140701-906106.html1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., the world's leading florist and gift shop, today reported that it will begin accepting bitcoin, the world's most widely used digital currency.

I think we are now in the final phase where coins can be accumulated relatively cheaply. Who knows how long it will last? I personally think we will move sharply up in the next few weeks or months. Every day there is new positive news. The auction reinforced the friendly US position towards bitcoin. Several giant retailers have publically integrated bitcoin into their payment systems. Today it was the turn of Newegg. Over the coming weeks and months I predict user adoption will start to move upwards sharply again. This will cause the price to rise. It will be front run by whales and big players. A common theme is that bitcoin bubbles reduce in amplitude with each successive leap but I am not so sure. Once a battle for the ATH commences its off to the races. It is time to speculate to accumulate! Ignore the bears and traders. Look at the big picture. Every single time in the past my only regret with bitcoin is that I didn't buy more when i had the chance.  (only invest what you can afford to lose!) By the end of next month at the latest we will have permanently left behind 3 digits. You can quote me on this. I put it in my sig to remind me. |
