Bitcoin used to be funded with a lot of funds from LR Undecided

It's a shame how the whole business was seized without any warning from the authorities.

joker_josue, como é obvio os chips avalon são fabricados em série por processos automáticos em empresas como a TSMC.. Eles mandam o design e especificações que precisam e a fábrica faz os chips. Como é óbvio só aceitam grandes quantidades.

daem0n, o chip pode custar 7$ em "custos" de produção, mas existiu uma empresa que gastou bastante dinheiro a desenvolver uma tecnologia. Isso tem MUITO custos significativos !

Eis algumas fotos da fábrica "Avalon"

Obvious alt account is obvious.

So, tell us, which website do you own ?

About Zaih:

After some research I believe that Stunna and Zaih know each other and *most likely* they're from the same place.

It would NOT make any sense to change GOX green address.

That's not what Gox said.

We are thinking of rotating the MtGox green address once in a while, with new green address announced ~1 month in advance.

You really need to learn to read. I'm not going to help you again.

That thread is from 2011.

If you had spent just 5 minutes of your life checking if it is still used on the blockchain you would see that it is still active.

When withdrawing on MtGox, you can check the option "Use green address" to cause your coins to be sent through the address 1LNWw6yCxkUmkhArb2Nf2MPw6vG7u5WG7q (or pass the option green=1 to the withdraw.php API).

That's what happens when you outsource your customer service/support to the wrong company.



Take a look at BTC-e. I believe their support is intern and it simply fails hard.

I'm waiting at days for a ticket reply as they don't know what to do.

Maybe pirate sued him for all that "defamation".

If you check trendonshavers.com is now offline.

According to web archive it used to point to here:

I doubt BTC-E has better support :p

But I suggest you visit #mtgox on IRC with questions, I think you get better answers there Wink

I find it very hard to speak with BTC-e support. First they take ages to reply to your request, then they never give a decent answer in the first reply.

16  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Alegadamente o dono do Liberty Reserve foi preso em Espanha. on: May 25, 2013, 01:00:43 PM
Quote
Arthur Budovsky Belanchuk, 39, on Friday was arrested in Spain as part of a money laundering investigation performed jointly by police agencies in the United States and Costa Rica.

Costa Rican prosecutor José Pablo González said Budovsky, a Costa Rican citizen of Ukrainian origin, has been under investigation since 2011 for money laundering using a company he created in the country called Liberty Reserve.

Local investigations began after a request from a prosecutor’s office in New York. On Friday, San José prosecutors conducted raids in Budovsky's house and offices in Escazá, Santa Ana, southwest of San José, and in the province of Heredia, north of the capital.

Budovsky's businesses in Costa Rica apparently were financed by using money from child pornography websites and drug trafficking.

New York conviction

According to records from the U.S. Justice Department, on July 27, 2006, Budovsky and a partner identified as Vladimir Kats were indicted by the state of New York on charges of operating an illegal financial business, GoldAge Inc., from their Brooklyn apartments.

They had transmitted at least $30 million to digital currency accounts worldwide since beginning operations in 2002.

The digital currency exchange, GoldAge, received and transmitted $4 million between Jan. 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006, as part of the money laundering scheme.

Customers opened online GoldAge accounts with limited documentation of identity, then GoldAge purchased digital gold currency through those accounts; the defendants' fees sometimes exceeded $100,000.

Customers could choose their method of payment to GoldAge: wire remittances, cash deposits, postal money orders or checks.

Finally, the customers could withdraw the money by requesting wire transfers to accounts anywhere in the world or by having checks sent to any identified individual.

Budovsky and Kats were sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in the business of transmitting money without a license, a felony violation of state banking law, but got probation.

Liberty Reserve's web site is currently not working. Their domain names are not resolving. The blog site where they post maintenance news is also not working. Further digging shows us that their nameservers now points to ns1.sinkhole.shadowserver.org and ns2.sinkhole.shadowserver.org. They say that this nameservers are used for domains that are seized by the US governnment.

We searched further and we found this article. The article says

As of now we are not sure if Liberty Reserve is still going to return or not. Let's just hope for the best.

18  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Caution OKPay appears to be a scam. on: May 22, 2013, 08:02:35 PM
So be careful, not properly registering as a Money Service Business, Money Transmitter, Bank or Financial institution is why these exchanges including MtGox keep getting shut down and seized by the authorities.  It's not like there is some huge conspiracy against them, it's just laziness on the part of the owners.

Mt.Gox wasn't shut down/seized by authorities. Pure FUD.

Their Dwolla account was locked. Dwolla account locked != shutdown/seized.

Carteira local é a carteira gerada pelo cliente (bitcoin qt) que você instala no seu pc, depois que ele sincroniza sua carteira você clica no botão "receber moedas" e vai encontrar a carteira seguida de um sequencial de algarismos e numeros semalhantes a este: 1JqwqXEnds8E3dTCYAzHMjBKbToipCHGXj, não se esqueça de encriptar sua carteira e copiá-la para um pendrive e tbm um cdrom. pois caso seu hd danifique vc a perde de vez!

Para cotações tem o site mtgox e o btc-e.

Se pretender guardar num meio externo use uma paper wallet. Poupa um CD e é bem mais fácil de transportar !

It's Free, Ok fine.
Its' source is available, Ok fine.
Its NOT open-source, contradicts the second point??


How is it even possible?

Obfuscated code can be one example.

I think OP wants to mean you cannot use the code for anything you want (examples: remove credits, resell).
