So now we know he stole >250K BTC and had 100k BTC left when he was interviews. We also know the SEC has proof there are people who were net winners (it's in the document he claims to be true).

I guess claw-backs will be hard however because there were so many pass through. It's tough to prove that any single individual really has net gains.

Theymos posted on the forum he had a net gain but yes, it will be very hard to figure out. Also I doubt there were that many who did gain and even if there was claw back would it be USD at the time or BTC?   If BTC and they sold, that would hurt.


Hm.  I might have had a net gain with one of the PPT's, but I never really calculated it... So unless they subpoena paybt.c, that would be really hard to figure out.

Also, I guess they were allowed to use the information I gave them over the phone (even though I'm <18)!  They posted my state on the complaint.

I vote for an open source software on github, but with node.js...really fast...I'm willing to contribute for free

node.js wouldn't be able to handle all this traffic, as well as node.js isn't a good programming tool. Plus theymos wants it in php.

I don't know about node.js, but javascript in general is a really fast JIT language. Far faster than PHP, for certain.

hi dree12,
indeed node.js is much faster than php. not because js is faster, but because of the new VM google created, v8, which is really fast. node uses v8 under the hood, plus it uses async native capabilities of javascript. What it does, is event driven programming, there's only 1 thread.

I just didn't want to answer to gweedo, cause in the end of the day, i think php is a best fit, not only because theymos  is confortable with the language, but also because it's a language (programming style, not async) that is more well known, so more people can contribute.

I say "javascript in general" because just about every modern tool that runs JS has a lightning-fast JIT. TraceMonkey, Chakra, and Carakan are all as fast as V8.

I do most of my programming in JS nowadays not because I like prototyping or asynchronous event models, but because it's so fast.

This code:
Code:
            "use strict";
            var now = Date.now();
            for (let i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
                let k = Math.sin(i);
            }
            console.log((Date.now()-now)/1000);
executed in 4.9 s (TraceMonkey) on my ages-old computer. The equivalent Python code takes 6.6 seconds (using int instead of float, so it should actually be slower), and the equivalent Java code 7.3 seconds (using double instead of int).
anyway, I would still stick with PHP. php-fpm + nginx should do the  job, perhaps Varnish in front of...
From what I've seen, people who say "I would stick with PHP" after proven wrong (about speed) tend to not know any other languages.  Cheesy

Correct me if I'm wrong.

What, if at all, impact do you think this will have on the price of BTC?

SEC now thinking that BTC is legit will over all be bullish IMO.

Let's all be careful for which we ask.

I'm thinking the SEC has already built a case game plan that tarnishes the entire concept of free currencies by painting them with a broad brush of nefariousness, piracy, drugs, flag-burning, cannibalism, and kiddie porn.

For the record, I lost a not-insignificant sum in the BTCST debacle. I just think we need to be rather discerning in whatever cheerleading for the SEC it is in which we engage.

People use fiat for that stuff too. Btc was never going to be more clean than the usd.

Im not happy the sec is doing this but for the markets and over all acceptance i think its bullish.

Just my thoughts.
Why wouldn't you be happy that the SEC made a complaint against Trendon?

I think that it's great, as more people will view the currency as "legit" instead of "play money" if it actually gets regarded as real money in the court system.

usagi: He's banned now.

So far I've gotten 100% of the competition banned!

This guy definitely needs to be sued.  BFL should break out some more of that preorder money to pay some shyster to do it.

Let's hope so! In less than 2 hours, it will only be 2 more days to go. If my dick gets any harder, I'll be able to suck it myself, not that I would... well, not that I would tell anybody if I did, of which I wouldn't, of course.
I think we'd be the first to know if it ever gets sucked.

Anyways, it'd be easy enough to test for RF interference, right?  I'd lend a radio to someone if they want to test it (or they could lend me their BFL, but nobody would want to stop getting their precious Bitcoins)...

Why does this site attract so many nutjobs?

Code:
08:31:17 (13833) <MRKLYE> I have a caffiene addiction
08:31:36 (13833) <MRKLYE> Literally cannot be arsed to wake up until I have 200mg of caffien in me
08:32:37 (1) <dooglus> I have caffeine addiction too. Try to give it up, but it hurts bad.
08:33:16 (44635) <EatCookies> I got all the caffiene you could want $5.00 12grams
Was that guy serious?  12 grams of caffeine would kill you.  Hell, *one* gram probably would!

I am not a scientist. Don't listen to me.

whats the difference lol
If you don't know the difference between javascript and CSS, you shouldn't get this site... Smiley
688  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction!] HOTWALLET.CA -- code, rights, domain name on: July 21, 2013, 04:34:46 PM

Don't do this.  You will be scammed.
690  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction!] HOTWALLET.CA -- code, rights, domain name on: July 21, 2013, 02:14:51 PM
If I get banned I will simply move to my next username.

1.1 BTC
I know.  I don't think usagi is going to count your bids, anyways, so I'm going to stay at 1 BTC.

If he isn't around to pay his 1.1, it will fall back to the lowest bid the previous person made when not trying to outbid the banned guy.

To the banned guy: Sorry if they're banning you but that isn't under my control, perhaps try bidding on a non-banned account? Or is that illegal too?
Oh, OK.  I'll bid 1.11, in that case.

Also: I hope he gets banned... He posted my old address on a public forum!

Daniel <redacted> I suggest you stop trolling immediately. Many people have learned hard lessons from their online comments.
Old address, I moved 4 months ago.  Public records don't get updated for awhile. 

Also, my new address is pretty much public.  Try harder!  I recommend asking in #bitcoin-otc, since all of them know my address.

You're getting banned now, anyways...  Hope you feel good, Mr. Internet Tough Guy.

While I have a negative trust rating, everyone who knows me knows that I never scam.

Except for Tomatocage... And only one person there says you're not a scammer (they don't really say that, either...)
694  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction!] HOTWALLET.CA -- code, rights, domain name on: July 21, 2013, 10:11:23 AM
1.05 btc if you can
I'm not entirely sure if this bid should count (look at his trust rating), but I bid 1.06 if this one counts.
695  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction!] HOTWALLET.CA -- code, rights, domain name on: July 21, 2013, 12:14:34 AM
Oh, why not?  I'll bid 1 BTC.

Anyways, if I win, can you remove all the exchange code and just make it the gambling site and the wallet site?  Also, can you add a registration button?

Sure! I'll also help show you where the gambling game code is, how to modify it to make new games, etc.

1 BTC is fine, if you win it for that it means you were the only interested bidder.

Interestingly enough, the more people bid on this the more it's worth, even if just to stick it to your competitors ;-)
Hah!  Don't bump it, more people will bid!

I think it's worth way more than 1 BTC, though...

I have a mini rig for sale   the 15 ghs thing
I'm far too poor for that... How much are you selling it for?

Looking for offers
How much did you pay for it?  I have no idea how much it's worth.

If I say "3 BTC" you'll say no.  Smiley

45 btc
I offer 3 BTC (I imagine the 45 BTC was when BTC was like $3).
