Anything that reaches any kind of scale would potentially be vulnerable to an active attacker as "friend-of-friend" connections are visible so an attacker would need to become "friends" with popular nodes   

I didn't say that he succeeded, I just said that he was trying to be dramatic.

You can read the non-caps version (above) to make the same conclusion

OB was recently "forked" to allow for the use of tor. Not only that but it is designed in a way so that the transaction would not be available to law enforcement unless it was a party to the transaction (either buyer, seller or "escrow"/"arbitrator")

2FA will only help you if you are entrusting your bitcoin with a third party as there is no encryption protocol that will protect you using 2FA

this is a very good argument as to why this feature should not be implemented. However I would think that the phones would be disabled via the cell towers regardless so if they have no connection to the towers then the phone company would have no way of disabling it (for example if the phone was kept in airplane mode)

You are not on default trust, therefore you will never be able to sell the games at face value with the buyer hoping to give them positive trust at the conclusion of the transaction.

As a result you will need to sell the games at a more realistic, market price, and likely individually instead as a lot. The games generally sell at a very steep discount on the secondary/forum market.

Well I would say that the credibility of the article goes out the window after someone reads the first paragraph when it say's that satoshi's bitcoin was taken therefore most people would stop reading and never get to see what the article is even saying

I personally do not like reddit as it is too easy to manipulate which threads/posts are up top/most visible as it is more or less a popularity contest 

In the event it is determined that he in fact no longer is in control of his account here is all the negative feedback he has left so the accounts can be tagged as necessary

From his post:
"This topic will remain locked until a random time on Friday and on that day I will give a random member with at least +2 trust a 0.025 loan that they can choose to repay or not. All I ask in return is a positive rep to return me back to neuttal so I can have a second chance here. I do not intend to ask TomatoCage to remove his rep on me. More on that below.

I scammed two people. FastLoan4You and another member who I cannot find for the life of me. They will both be paid back on Friday and then some for the long wait if I can find the second member. I have been a scammer for a long time by the name of Drogan on EMF and other forums. I have recently felt remorse and regret for what I have done as there is so much more money to be made being legit and not only that but you get love and respect from your peers. Hatred is a waste and I'm tired of hating and being hated. Also gambling is a fucking money sink! Damn.

I am asking the community here to forgive me and give me a second chance. See you all on Friday and thank you for your time."

While looking through the Archival sub board (this is a good place to look for things that people are trying to hide) I noticed two threads that were started by Vod, MTGOX lost Bitcoins found by a Japan researcher and Bitcoin next bubble? to 2500$?. Both threads have been edited to indicate that malware (link) was removed, the first one by our Legendary administrator BadBear(v2.0) and one by Vod.

Both threads were created on November 6th, and per the Password reset/change log Vod's password was changed on November 7th at 4:53 AM and then reset via email at 5:01 AM the same day.

My first question is, was Vod's account hacked, and if so has he recovered access to it and if so can he prove it via a signed bitcoin/PGP message?

I would also suggest that a feature be implemented that someone is not able to post a link when their password has recently been reset (perhaps within the last 12 hours) as this is when an account is most likely o have been compromised. While it appears that Vod was probably the victim of either a MITM, and/or phishing attack (or maybe someone was able to get lucky and correctly "guess" his password) and/or some other similar attack and would not apply in this specific case, I still think it would help prevent malware from being spread around.

A ticket is nothing more then a summons for you to appear in court so the court can determine if you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Most people choose to plead guilty and pay the associated fine ahead of time because they do not want to deal with the hassle of going to court.

I get the impression that the OP wants to attempt to profit from trading bitcoin at the Bter, not simply make one trade and withdraw.

@all the people who are spamming and saying to use cold storage - I would suggest reading the thread in it's entirety as the OP is not wanting to use the exchange as a bank

You are correct, banks in the US fail all the time. However the FDIC, by contract has to repay the depositors their account balances up to $250,000 per account type. The government does not borrow/print additional money to repay this debt, the money is taken from the FDIC trust fund.
This is not happening on smaller balances period, anywhere, nor is it occurring in the US at all right now. The purpose of the negative interest rates is to discourage people from having large balances in their bank accounts, and to get people to withdraw excess amounts from the bank.
You are correct to say that the FDIC cannot pay if all of the banks were to fail, however the FDIC is designed to prevent this as since there is FDIC insurance people will not withdraw their money in panic if there is a chance an unrelated bank may fail.

You also fail to take into consideration that the FDIC will not need to use it's insurance fund for the entire deposit balance of the failed bank, as the failed bank will have assets (loans owed to it) that the FDIC can/will sell to (likely) another bank.

I would say that anyone on the escrow whitelists can generally be trusted, however when you start to get to seven digit figures worth of bitcoin, their trust level declines as I would somewhat doubt they have handled such large amounts of other's people money all at once (although dooglus may be an exception to this) and the temptation would be great to attempt to steal/take the money and run

Are you offering a 1:1 price for these codes? Your OP fails to mention the price you are offering, however most people who have listing on this forum tend to charge a spread and this spread is often steep, and gets steeper as people try to sell things that are less then "true" bitcoin, that is bitcoin to an address they 100% control.
It is not guaranteed that you would be able to send someone their money the same day. (explanation continued below)
You are correct. If you are in a country that coinbase supports then you can withdraw to your bank account for what is essentially free (you would still need to pay their spread of ~.5% but this is less then the spread that most people on here will charge)

While this may prove that JaredR26 is not a purchased account (to a degree, - and assuming one can find an unedited post containing that address) it does not prove that he controls over a million dollars worth of bitcoin.

In regards to your escrow suggestion, I think it falls short of the OP protecting himself. I think he should use something along the lines of 3 of 4 (or even 4 of 5) multisig escrow with two (or three) escrow providers each controlling one key needed to sign a message AND to "test" the multisig address with small amounts to make sure all parties fully understand how to sign a TX in this way to prevent funds from potentially being lost.

Why would someone not simply sell their GH/s from cex and then withdraw the bitcoin and then sell the bitcoin on an exchange or on the currency exchange section?

For btc-e why would someone not sell their bitcoin on their platform and then withdraw the fiat to a payment method of their choice?

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change form. All processes will "leak" some level of energy into "heat" energy which cannot be transformed into other types of useful energy.

The OP is much TL;DR however it seemed to me that the first few paragraphs were preparing for a reader to be introduced to a scam called PoS

For all intensive purposes, "no" there are not other forums where bitcoin/crypto currency can be discusses. All the other forums/groups are much smaller and the members have a much less level of expertise.

The OP is trying to be more dramatic by posting in all caps.
