You are saying what is on a lot of peoples minds I'm sure.
I just hope everyone is checking facts themselves is all.

You should start by asking yourself if that's what you're posting, then.
(PS: Thread title is still just plain wrong)
I now have other shit to do, I do appreciate you coming in with links and information, I am sorry that not all threads on all forums are created with full case histories, but are sometimes filled with questions and confusion. You will one day gain appreciation and knowledge of parody, ignorance, and perception. I feel I have grown a little since this thread. So it's pants off time and I have to go take care of that. |

Dude, have you really never heard of Verisign before this? They've been giving very basic certs for SSH and such for years. Any argument against them is an argument against ANY 'authority' giving certs.
I have of course heard of verisign lol. However, I can say that if I had a gun to my head I could not accurately describe what it is exactly Verisign did or does. That is why I just did a quick search to get a general answer, a gist of things if you will, ie Wikipedia. I know why Gox is using them, and it is a good step in the right direction imo, those banners are nearly necessary for successful e-commerce now in days. - VeriSign are not "known scammers" by any measure
- Wikipedia is in itself never a source
- The Trust Seal acquired by MtGox has nothing to do with VeriSign-the-domain-company
- Your opinion. I would very much say at this moment I am now in question of Verisign as a company when I was not before. - It shouldn't be, but you are in denial if you don't think it is. - Okay, thank you for contributing, now if you didn't say it in such a troll form it would be easier to take the information you are trying to spread, which I am finding useful btw, if you didn't to do it in such douche manner, but honestly I could care less, I am here for hard facts |

I would like to be a guest because I haven't kept up with Bitcoin news as much as I used to. However I use vulgar language.

Thanks, I wasn't sure until now but now I'm sure you're just trolling.
You have to define trolling then, I brought to the table that I did not see on the forums yet, was kind of big news, something that asked questions, has brought answers, and you have helped make better. Discussing things on a forum. Sorry my opinion was not as fully backed up as yours, please allow people to change and learn, but hating or calling a troll, dear lord that term is being used/abused more than the term 'scammer' around these parts   |

Not really. The title and the completely irrelevant wikipedia quotes just put you in the troll category. I can't really figure out why you wanted that.
There seems to be a stick up your ass  Thread keeps on delivering with information regarding Verisign. Let's go back to the title talk you bring up, jokingly made, but is it inaccurate? The shit that Verisign has tried to pull as a company thinking it is okay to do despite being obvious was to take advantage of unknowing users. I am just saying, if they were on the forums, Very Sign would have the "XXXXX" red things under their user name, and now we have Mt Gox working directly with them with a press release. Just saying though, I do not believe there is some big conspiracy theory, but I think it is probable. |

Good discussion regarding this here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37856.0 with pictures!  Also, you don't tell me what to do with my opinion on Paypal, they fuck their users over. They are a shit company. Yet, I trust them more than most Bitcoin users currently. |

 Bitcoin mining botnet also used for DDoS attacksA recently discovered P2P Bitcoin mining botnet has acquired DDoS capabilities, warns Kaspersky Lab expert Tillmann Werner. It's main reason of existence has so far been Bitcoin mining, as the bot installs three Trojans with that function (Ufasoft, RCP and Phoenix), but it also functions as a way of delivering other malicious software to the infected machines.  And among the delivered files are two DDoS program. According to H Security, their targets change as different victim lists are delivered to it by the botnet operators. Currently, the first module - which uses HTTP flooding - is attacking 31 German and two Austrian estate agency portals and food industry sites. The second one, using UDP flooding, is targeting the IP addresses of companies that offer anti-DDoS services. Among the food industry sites targeted is pizza.de, which confirmed that it had been suffering an attack for three hours, during which it was bombarded with 20,000 – 30,000 HTTP requests per second, coming from some 50,000 IP addresses. Unfortunately, given the P2P architecture, this botnet will be extremely hard to take down. As things stand, the number of infected machines taking part of it is increasing. And, as its targets are easily updated by its operators, the next ones will likely be determined by the people who will rent its services in the future.  |

That was from March. What are they up to now? Or how it was written, are they not just part of the development team or having close ties to maybe the exchanges since day one?  |

I'm quite sure there's nothing you can do.
Others might be interested in how well Symantec runs the verification business though. Thread redeemed! |

If you look at the distribution of current bitcoin nodes, a huge proportion are already in the US.
So I vote for anywhere outside the US as a conference location.
That makes no sense. I think one more, large event, sponsored by a few sponsors getting together rather than one head behind it all, in the US. Bitcoin users should think logically and realistically about it's users who are most likely already financially invested in BTC itself, and determine the meeting place based on a location that offers cheap air fares and hotel rates. Better organization, rooms in bulk deals, I know there has to be a few people with con and expo experience to get behind the next event. |

What was your point with posting a stupid thread?
My opinion on this thread differs from yours, lets start with that. What is the stupid part about it, what can I do to fix this for you? I find it interesting is all. I still trust Mt Gox personally Also, I did not see a thread about Gox signing with VeriSign, and I do find the information to be pretty important to users, and not everyone read every Bitcoin news source so may not have seen this information before. I'm sorry. Oh wait, no I'm not. |
