Site works, money seems to be exchanged manually, so there is some delay

Guy must feel terrible at the moment! He is finally confronted with reality and that will change him forever. Hopefully, he will gain all the learning lessons that can be taken from this. He got what he deserved and kudos to him.
0.01 BTC says the kid does no time for this, but does time for something else down the road. He was talking about Satoshi, not about the hacker |

interesting thing to me is that people with higher IQ tend to be more cynical/depressed. if you're so absolutely smart, then why do you choose to make yourself miserable?
the happiest people on earth are heroin junkies a few minutes after the injection. Enjoy your high. |

Everydice owner took pains to create that superlucky 1Dice player, instead of just taking all the money and run. Apparently he still hopes to attract more idiots to invest in his site.

It's still a gamble to get money right? You never know when people will donate
You don't have to gamble or to invest any bitcoins, just babble a little in the chat room  . I've heard one former bum got enough bitcoins this way to start a new life! |

Well, if you don't want to discuss seriously, then bye bye.
What serious discussion? You came here preaching me about sins. |

It works better when you don't lie about when you acquired the coins.
Everyone is very bold on the internet, can even call someone a lair without risking to get a punch on the chin. The problem here is how to prove source of coins. An email from Mtgox can hardly be considered a proof (anyone can forge an email). Blockchain evidence is also hardly useful - unlike bank accounts, there is no linkage of bitcoin addresses to SSNs. |

Does a gabling site scam people out of their money ?
Yes, it does. gambling is a sin forbidden by Our Lord Jesus Christ. |

Do you stay awake at night thinking about how you can scam people more efficently?
Says someone whose signature pumps a gambling site? |

I think one of main problems in stock pump and dump schemes is that market participants, not trusting each other, should decide what to pump and when. This is a variant of Byzantine Generals Problem. Often, the solution relies on a leader who tweets stock picks (see stocktwits.com), and if enough people trust him, pump and dump will succeed. But this has a centralization problem: the leader could be tempted sell his picks to paying customers before the announcement is made, or he can be arrested by authorities, because pump and dump is illegal of course.
Now imagine a "pumpdump" blockchain, miners would mine for the solution and for the right to announce their P&D stock pick. Miners are incentivised to select good P&D candidates, because if no one joins, their mining effort will be wasted. That blockchain doesn't have to have a separately valued "coin" associated with it, the incentive here is to get others follow your pick and benefit at the "dumping" stage.

Interesting. Is there a minimum of coins you need to collect before it is sent to your own wallet?
No minimum, but there is withdrawal fee of 0.0001, so I guess you can't withdraw less than that |

To get free bitcoins (about 0.1BTC is distributed every few hours), go to site JUST-DICE.COM and enter the chat room. This is one of many dice sites, but it has one interesting feature: winning players often donate a portion of their winnings to the so called "rainjar", and there is a "rainbot" running, which distributes coins from the rainjar to random chat members at random times. All you have to do is be present in the chat room and be active, i.e. post a few comments here and there (can be automated I believe).

Does probability theory have anything to say about the likelihood that that this story is true?
For example, assume that the article is not a hoax, and that the hard facts presented within are true.
The relevant probabilities are: Probability that he faked his confession. He knows about bitcoin, because of his name. He thought in the past about what he would say if a journalist shows up at his door. He despises journalists and decides to play a practical joke. Seems plausible enough for me. Probability that she invented that confession. Such a lie would definitely ruin her career, so I'd put it at 10%. |

How to prove purchase date for coins bought on localbitcoins, and moved many times between different wallets?
Blockchain. To prove the coins were still in your possession up to the date you claim to have sold/traded them, you can sign a message with every address the coins ever touched since you acquired them.
BTC can move without me owning the keys, for example if I move them from my computer to an online wallet, or buy a BTC denominated stock. Is it considered a sale event, if no dollars were involved? Besides, keys for old wallets are long lost ... oh my. |

It's relatively easy to claim BTC earnings as short-term gains or as regular income; you pay maximum tax and IRS is happy.
But have anyone tried to file BTC gains as long-term capital gains? I would think you need some kind of proof of purchase price and of purchase date. What is purchase price for mined coins? How to prove purchase date for coins bought on localbitcoins, and moved many times between different wallets? What if IRS looks up the blockchain and says: here, you received coins to that address 1 month ago, no long-term for you!

Unlike most people I believe Satoshi was an individual, not a group. I believe he is / was a GCHQ employee.
very possible. that explains his outstanding ability to maintain his incognito for so long and his fear of getting exposed. |

Right, and switch from base10 to base16 numbers, as some bitcoiners have long been arguing
|
|
|

it seems like any such corruption issues might be more OS related than Bitcoin related
<TROLL MODE> Just use normal OS (Windows) </TROLL MODE] |
