If you're gonna use dodgy license keys you may as well be just pirating it. Enjoy paying for copies that get banned in a couple of months.

Why the fuck should LulzSec care about Bitcoin or anything else for that matter? They're in it for the lulz and would most likely applaud the guy who caused all this drama, they aren't white hats.

You have to read a lot and have a good memory, my favourite password system is to take either the first or last letter from a memorable sentence in something you have read, will never forget and has a tedious link to the site/file you're logging into. For example, you could associate a gambling account with a couple of lines from If by Rudyard Kipling: If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-tossCould make the password "IycmohoaywAriootopat", which you're unlikely to forget. If you read a lot you'll have an endless supply of fresh, very memorable and extremely long passwords! Now, knowing this, can you crack an old password of mine from the book Fight Club? Clues: It's 14 chars long, it's based on the first letter of each word in two sentences and includes punctuation. Here's the md5 sum: 7de46151e06abe0ad53c4513d22e9a43 |

I agree, and there ought to be a vocal moderate / voice of reason in here to combat the over-optimistic, the naysayers and the crackpots.

Have you heard of "lactose intolerant" people? These are normal people who get sick from consuming cow milk. The rest of us have adjusted to handle it. They're just people who's ancestors didn't domesticate cows and goats. Humans are supposed to eat vegetation (that we forage), meat (that we kill) and, eggs (that we steal from nests). Instead we are eating processed foods, animals milk, and whatever other processed bull shit they sell these days. We're "supposed" to consume whatever gives us energy to survive. If drinking milk doesn't make you ill then you owe your existence to domesticated animals; milk saved enough of your ancestors' lives to make a difference to your DNA. You could make the same argument against cooked meats and all forms of grain, fire and farming are human inventions. Anyway, human breast milk is so much healthier for a human than cow milk. Cancer patients love it. If human milk tasted nice to adults the species would be extinct, which is why it tastes like crap. This is also why most animals are lactose intolerant (yeah, believe it or not milk is bad for most adult cats), adult humans can only drink milk because of the domestication of animals. |

How do you know AllinVain just had his life ruined, and how can you be so sure, hero of the virtual nobody and defender of cybernothing? I don't. Just like you I don't know anything, however, being in a position of not knowing I make a point of not crapping out wild speculatory accusations without evidence. Go back and read the first post in this thread, you accuse an apparent victim of being an evil person from an evil empire, illuminati and CIA, the bad guy in some absurd fantasy. I'm just calling you out on your attention-whoring drama-queenery, like every good citizen should. |

Bitrebel, I can't decide whether you're a troll or a genuine crackpot, but either way you're an asshole. Casting accusations at someone who just had their life ruined is a shitty thing to do, selfish when it's for the sake of attention whoring and just plain malicious otherwise.
How does this kind of discussion help anything? It doesn't. It's all about you masturbating your fantasy in public for your own gratification.

Are these auction sites a waste of time at the moment due to the volatility of BTC, or is it that I'm selling a copy of Windows in a Linux community?

I think it's region free. Amazon, eBay and so on all sell it without listing a region, and I'm running Win7 Ultimate on my desktop, I have about 50 updates I can download for pretty much every language out there. This one was made in the USA and is sold for use in the UK on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-7-Ultimate-Full-Version-32-64bit-/320712548734My UPC is the same apart from the last digit, which is a 2, the origin is Ireland. |

Hi I'm selling this for some BTC on BitcoinHop. http://bitcoinhop.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=100404It's completely legitimate, bought from Microsoft by a member of staff (I'm currently doing some consultancy for MSFT UK), it's brand new in the box and sealed. Bidding starts at 3 BTC! Enjoy gaz.bitplane.net |

Once its safely stored in BTC there is no problem from my point of view. Its going to be the currency of the future anyway, its just a matter of time before enough merchants start offering BTC payments and it will be used for the majority of internet purchases.
But sure cashing out is also convenient to do, but again, its all about time I am sure.
If I had $250k of BitCoin I'd be cashing a lot of it and paying off my mortgage. Given the choice between being a slave now and maybe very rich tomorrow, or being free forever but most likely poor in the future, I'd choose the latter every time. |

Renaming files does the same job. I wouldn't even call it security. Linus Torvalds would call it masturbation.
Security by masturbation? That's security I can believe in! |

The only way to be sure is to start completely fresh. Including BIOS flashes and viewing old backups as compromised too. And changing Bitcoin addresses, obviously.
Wow, flashing your BIOS? Are there actual cases of BIOS malware being used in the wild by hackers/fraudsters? |

Nothing to see here, move along.
News agencies post whatever makes a good story and BAN THIS SICK FILTH is always a good story. Also LulzSec are trolls, they probably put the false information out themselves to cause drama for the lulz.

Cool, I might make some designs for your site if I get the time / inspiration  |

Not sure about immediate as I don't usually log in or post, but it would be nice if I could reply to things on the forum from time to time; I don't fancy hanging out in this subforum.

One of my friends (well, a friend of a friend) runs code on racks of servers containing boards which host masses of GPUs for fluid dynamics calculations for the oil industry, not sure how much these systems cost, but they are available to industry and are as powerful as several thousand high end graphics cards.
Banks could easily afford them

Ooh, so someone could attack the network by generating coins and posting them to deliberately broken addresses?

Everyone? All pay conversation rates to Euros, all pay for postage and so on?

Even if you can't transfer bitcoins for tangible goods, you can still use them for services, work and intellectual property. Bitcoin uptake by computer geeks is important here, I can't buy groceries with bitcoin but I might be able to play games, get hosting, programming, artwork, design, music, the written word, photography, advertising and other electronic "goods"
