What does anyone being able to choose any nickname have to do with anything?

He's saying there's no reason to assume the user here is Don Shrents. Given it was only registered a couple weeks ago it's far more likely it's a troll. 

But the lesson has been taught that unless you have 100.000000000% proof you cannot say that anymore! Even 99.9999999999999999999999999999% proof is not enough.

"more likely" ha don't be silly it is not how it works anymore.

Hey Patrick, how's Trendon's Credit Rating doing ?

Do you need more info to get everything calculated ?

He hasn't asked for one. 

Just in case anyone is wondering: I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID by Pirate.

....I also haven't maintained a +10 OTC Rating for his Trustworthiness, but there's always hope.

Why is issue #3 at Barnes and Noble but I still haven't gotten issue #2 in the mail.

#2 and #3 printed and shipped at the same time. This was done due to print distribution schedules clash forced by our distribution contract. It ls on it's way.

And for those of you who have not got it yet (all are dispatched ) here is a little teaser: http://bitcoinmagazine.net/bob-the-teaser-13/


Is this teaser related to the one from the first issue (which I think is what was on pages 34 and 35)?

Nope it is not. For more information on the "pages 34 and 35 teaser" find us in London in September and we will explain.

Do you run bitcoin mag then mate? if so, pleased to meet you, ive heard good things about you, I quite like the mag Smiley

Well, thank you. But no I do not run it. It is a team effort.

You responded HTTP 200 - OK  Grin

Every impression counts, I hope google served them some relevant ads like "where to get more brains" or "download your metasploit here" or something.

Do you also post on the wrong boards when you open a thread on your semi-dead bitcoin forum?

Made a silly mistake unignoring you for a second. Will fix it, no worries.

And it is not a wrong board. I am reporting a heinous hacking attempt of Bitcoin Magazine website. Everyone needs to update rule sets of their WAF ASAP or they will have you backside! It IS as on topic of this board as it gets!

Almost makes you think just sending your money to anonymous people on the internet is a bad idea.

Who would have thought?

Nope it is over, indeed well and truly over, and it has been for while now, it was over even before it was over  Wink Nobody will get any money.

It is just denial and all the other stages of grief left.

Phinnaeus Gage, this is actually a very serious topic you are bringing up here.

Yep indeed it seems Bitcoin is riding one wave of negative news after another. I also have stats of online article popularity and I will tell you that http://bitcoinmagazine.net/bitfloor-hacked-250000-missing/ this one is the most read article we ever had (counting by hits since we've started the website). On the second place is http://bitcoinmagazine.net/the-silk-road-report/ .

Trust me, I would prefer it to have more positive news and articles. Unfortunately, it is not up to the mirror what it shows. It seems that embracing negativity and riding "there is no such thing as bad publicity" bandwagon is an obvious choice at this stage. I am not convinced that such "gray" PR necessarily will have long term negative consequences.

Edit:

just for illustration adding coundown of top 9 most popular Bitcoin Magaizne website articles, May 1st Sep 7th, (1 - most popular):
 9. Ponzi Scemes the danger of high interest savings funds
 8. Bitcoin savings trust geniune of joke
 7. Adam Kokesh on Bitcoin and free market money
 6. Silk Road armory terminated
 5. Growing decentralisation in the bitcoin economy
 4. Bitcoin gone wild
 3. Bitpay breaks daily volume record
 2. The silk Road report
 1. Bitfloor hacked, 250000$ mising.

Print version is much more diverse and positive however.

Back on topic. A little quote from an internal Bitcoin Magazine skype channel:


[17:47:56] Here we go. This is the first ever independent report of someone buying Bitcoin Magazine from B&N.

536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitinstant brokering extortion threats? on: September 08, 2012, 03:49:12 PM
I think BitInstant didn't do anything so terrible. Because everyone knows there never was a real extortion threat, BitInstant doesn't look bad for offering to help out in jest.

This.

Bitinstant didn't do this for Romney - they did it for all the tens of thousands of people who are now researching Bitcoins after reading the article about the attempted extortion, and are wondering how to easily acquire Bitcoins for themselves.  Read the latter portion of Erik's quote:

Quote
Not only that, we’ll also show you how to safely use a Bitcoin wallet, back up and encrypt it, and make payments. We’ll even set you up with a Bitcoin app on your iPhone! You’ll be a Bitcoin expert in no time!

He makes the business sound incredibly helpful to newbies.  Which is exactly who will be reading the article, and exactly who will end up purchasing Bitcoins through Bitinstant because of it.  Even though he is addressing Romney in the quote, he is really addressing all of the people who have just heard about Bitcoin for the first time.

Oh, and does everyone realize that both presidential candidates now know full well what Bitcoin is?  Cheesy


Yep, kids, watch how pros expertly do PR and learn from them.
537  Economy / Trading Discussion / Business opportunity. Bitcoin advertising agency. Steal this idea! on: September 08, 2012, 03:40:52 PM
This is just me thinking aloud. You do know that it is possible to book ad space in Bitcoin Magazine, both print and web. There are significant discounts on offer for high volume buyers. If one forms a bitcoin centered ad agency, hires some artists to do ad design, buys wholesale ads in Bitcoin Magazine (and other publications too perhaps). There is some profit that is to be made.

Should Bitcoin Magazine recognize such company as an advertisement agency and that agency buys ad space up to 6 month in advance, there are up to 35% discount potentially is possible, plus whatever one earns on ad design services. It is quite viable business in fiat world, it could be such in Bitcoin Land too.

Steal this idea!

These are just binary representation of one byte ascii codes. It seems this is a de facto standard of sending public messages to a BTC address.
539  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Secret Message in Romney's Extortion Payments? on: September 08, 2012, 01:41:38 PM
And decryption of one message you refer to is given in comments to one of the articles linked in my signature.

Bloody hell that's an interesting twist, If it's not fake he'll still have to pay by bitcoin and we're probably in for a rally!!

Looks like the Larry Flynt angle is legit... http://www.mediaite.com/online/larry-flynt-is-offering-one-million-dollars-for-details-of-romneys-tax-returns/

This might get out of control fast lol

"unless the Romney campaign wire transfers $1 million in Bitcoins." LOL Suckers at mediafire have no idea what Bitcoin is.
