hopefully that's not "the last we hear from him"

quit while you're ahead KJ!

step 1: add 7200 btc per day to a 0 btc economy
step 2: add 3600 btc per day to a 10,000,000 btc economy
step 3: add 1800 btc per day to a 15,000,000 btc economy     <- this is going to be fun!

so as long as it's legal*, and not copyrighted, you're fine with it?

*what country is your server in?

well that implementation kinda kills my idea

are you being off-topic intentionally?

or are you accidentally confusing the law (not mentioned in the OP) with morality (mentioned in the OP)?

nm, read your above post.

also, whether something is a crime or not ALSO has nothing to do with the buyer's morals or lack thereof.

this hardly requires much imagination, so it's perplexing that some may find it difficult, but here's just one of a billion possibilities:

guy is lonely, wants a girlfriend
guy has cc stolen, goes to bank to address the issue and meets the teller of his dreams
guy weds teller and has kids, grandkids
guy tells grandkids, "my life really turned around that day, i'm so glad my cc was stolen"


looking back, i can say that having had my house burgled in 1993 had a hugely positive effect on my diligence for security and data backups. and i'm glad it happened.

all he needs to do is add ?v=1.1 on his links, or ?v=1.2 ?v=1.3 etc, etc.

or if he's using codeigniter-style urls it could work by putting some other dummy variable on the end:

eg. change http://blah.com/faq/v1 to http://blah.com/faq/v2  where the 'faq' code may decide to just ignore the version variable

then your browser won't show you the cache because it'll think it's a totally different page.

i never said he wanted to have his CC stolen, only that having it stolen may have had a positive effect on his life.

not knowing him or his situation or his personality, i can't say whether this event was bad or good.

do you actively monitor torrents for illegal stuff?

do you put your own morality stamp on what passes through your server?

is it possible to specify particular files from a torrent, instead of getting the whole thing?

is there a limit to the size of the torrent? (eg. a 50mb .torrent file which maps 500gb of data?)

this kind of transaction doesn't need a fee though does it? i think it's a different case.



as a rough guide, and this is only in my personal experience, about 15 addresses per tx

just experiment a little there, see what fee you're paying for 10, 15, 20, 25 transactions, etc.

if you read the whole thread, you'll see it's already been established that there are plenty of people (probably even more than needed) who will keep a 100% untouched reserve

almost everything has a good and a bad side

eg. the more credit cards that are stolen, the more careful people will be with their credit card numbers

he could be doing the 'victim' a favour... but no-one other than the victim will ever know whether this is the case


you are simply speculating that this is bad from his point of view, when in reality you don't know him, his personality, etc.

life-changing events can also change people's lives in a positive way, despite how unrelated third-parties may judge the event from the outside.

un-possible!

i'd put 100 people or less worldwide in the "true believers" category

i remember that *exact* feeling of fear when it went to $2.50 after being relatively stable around 80c - $1

just imagine how you'll look back on this moment in 2 or 3 years.

can you guess which one?




i only cash out when i feel forced to like if i'm low on $

annoying new people who find simple names already taken? (even though dormant)
