So I guess this is why my node has been crashing... I haven't been monitoring it, so I haven't bothered to check what's happening, but I assume it was this since it was working flawlessly for quite some time. I'm rebuilding the blockchain now, crashes made it go corrupt. I'll be banning these IP's and I'll see if things get better.

You can use your skills to earn Bitcoin. Keep an eye on the Jobs4Bitcoin reddit  4. underground marketplaces - Sell drugs,weapons or provide illegal services
Seriously?  And then no wonder we have loads of threads about this and mainstream media covering up the fact that fiat is used for this because Bitcoin is too |

Short Question:
Alice and Bob want to tranfer a secret letter. How can they transfer the information with the use of the blockchain?
Thanks!
A small amount of information can be stored in the block chain using an OP_RETURN transaction.
And encrypting said message One can use services like CryptoGraffiti to easily embed messages on the blockchain. |

I don't know what Craig Wright is doing, but I do know almost for certain that his daily life is being watched by three letter agencies. That's pretty much what he got out of this story. So you can probably ask those agencies  Maybe he is working with these agencies in the first place... Why not? I don't see what do they have to win with this, but hey... Pretty much anything goes. Hmmm.. interesting point. Let's assume this is/was the case. In how far could he be useful for the alphabet agencies? I would say only if he could have convinced us to believe that he is Satoshi.Because then he could have tried to take influence on decisions in which directions BTC should head in the future.Like "Satoshi our lost father and benevolent dictator is back.Lead us man, lead us" As this is not the case and will also not happen in the future he is totally worthless now for NSA, CIA etc.. He can convince us that he is Satoshi, it is really easy to do so (for the real Satoshi), but he failed to give us proof, so... Even if he was Satoshi, why should we depend on him to lead us? He'd be just another voice in the crowd with opinions as valid as mine or yours. |

There is no currency that banks hate. Not if they can make money on it.
Once the regulatory and tax and volatility issues are settled out or predictable, they'll cheerfully accept bitcoin, or even denominate accounts in bitcoin. Of course the depositor won't have the keys to those accounts.
We can stop here... If someday banks accept Bitcoin and/or have Bitcoin denominated accounts nobody would really use them... Do you see anyone having accounts which they do not control the keys for in a few years? Seems highly unlikely. Even if people accepted that, they would most likely choose a more trusted service (which obviously has risks too). That being said, banks can profit from having Bitcoin services... if we allow them to |

I think the larger problem is network bandwidth rather than hard device capacity. Even with high speed Internet connection (> 20 Mbit/sec) it can take a couple of days to download the block chain from scratch.
lol. You only have to download the chain one time - forever. People sit in their living room all over the planet streaming movies every night and you worry about 2MB every ten minutes? This is true. However many people have high pings and difficulty getting a few kb through censorship walls. Bandwidth is an issue for some. But is it an issue for 2mb blocks? That I guess we don't know, unless there are chinese miners around |

I think the solution here is simply not using knock-off sites...
Agreed, however there is lots of content on that site that should be kept for future evidence. - It would be great if somebody did a dump of the entire forum. Just got on the link and saw that's the alternative forum created a while ago... I thought it was one of those websites mirroring this forum. That being said my last post doesn't make that much sense and I wonder why they're blocking archival of their pages... It would be a nice question to ask, if someone has an account there. I think the only resort is maybe using another archival site, Internet Wayback Machine or storing the pages locally. |

What if Satoshi suddenly appeared, providing proof (signed messages) that it was really him? Why should he be ignored? He made Bitcoin, he should be regarded for the importance of his invention... That doesn't necessarily mean we should allow him to take control of the currency: one thing doesn't imply the other.

Beware if you receive coins that originate from this address as they are from a criminal activity.
People who might receive funds originating from this address might have no relation to these criminals and what they do... We all eventually have coins originating from less legal activities, like we have fiat coins and bills originating from non-legit activity. It would also be interesting to submit files related to these viruses to antivirus companies, if they can be found among decryption warnings... (not sure if this variant is reversed yet) |
