 Where's Satoshi? |

If this guy really is Satoshi, would his life be in danger? I'm sure a lot of banksters would at least want him dead for creating bitcoin.
Right, because Bitcoin is wired to self-destruct in the event Satoshi's heart stops. |

In this case nobody can be sure his bitcoins are safe.
Cool wallet on the paper is a good thing, but...
You make new wallet and write it on paper and put 1 btc into. After 1 year you will need put another 1 btc there, but you will not shure has your wallet the 1st 1 btc or not for some reason.
You'll need to synchronize core to be sure the your wallet has the 1st 1 btc.
If you are not sure it is a not very good idea to put your other 1 btc
It's a good practice to note down the address (Not the private key!) your long-term storage coins are held at. That way, you can check the BTC is still there on blockchain.info or any other block explorer site with no risk of compromising your private keys. The real issue is making sure your private keys stay safe in the first place. For sums like you unfortunately lost, you need to be quite careful. Using a freshly created linux USB to create your wallet, and generating the keys offline, writing them on paper and then wiping the USB boot disk should be a pretty good solution. If you want to run a Bitcoin client and intend to ever send BTC to a wallet on that client, you should have a computer completely set aside for that purpose, in a safe space. Do not run a bitcoin client on your day-to-day computer. I wouldn't trust anything other than a fresh install of an OS to run a client on. Preferably a fresh computer as well, if you're feeling paranoid enough about rootkits etc. Sorry for your loss. I wish we could help, but it's probably all gone now. If you still have BTC elsewhere, make sure to secure them very well. |

I had the 1st wallet. Then when the sum of bitcoins was pretty big I've made the new one (about 3 years ago). I've transfered the bitcoins to the new wallet 1 time and keep them there. For the new bitcoins I've used the new wallet.
Just to be clear: The new wallet is the one that has this address in it: https://blockchain.info/address/15ESHhWuNfqMEQPXWexGb9kK1J53brWksLcorrect? And you created this wallet 3 years ago. You did not transfer anything to this new wallet until November 4th, 2014. Correct? If that's the case, it seems your keys have been compromised some time over the last 3 years, and the thief likely just waited for something to be transferred to an address controlled by those keys. This would, to me, suggest an automated system to check a number of compromised keys for new BTC, which in turn would suggest a relatively widespread virus of some sort being how your keys got stolen. |

How do those hourly volume bars break down on a more granular level? I ask because I'm wondering: If it's a bot that doesn't seem to be masking its activities, why does the interval vary? Is it possible the bot is on a fixed interval and the rest of the volume spike is something else?
If the bot were on a fixed interval, it can't be shorter than 23 hours, looking at the chart. Since these are hourly bars, that would mean it could just be a single buy or sell at a fixed time. I admit, this is kind of the opposite of Occam's Razor, probably the bot just has more complex parameters than a simple timer.

That's 2.37% profit to sell at okcoin and buy at lakebtc. Then you subtract fees, and then you have to withdraw USD from okcoin, which they charge 0.1% for. Then every financial institution between okcoin and your bank takes their cut for the transfer, can't say how much that is.
you can ttry to withdraw bitcoin, its free. and it should may leave a few money for the next opportunity?  but for daytrader, its enough profit to do with little risk (now lakebtc is $390 while okcoin is $400) How would that work? You've just sold your BTC for USD on okcoin. |

Woohoo! Up we go  Btw, next time that shit-stirring troll (lambie/ezybella/whoever it is), I'll be ignoring straight away like usual. Interacting with somebody like that just shat up this thread, until somebody kindly cleaned house. Report post, click ignore, waste of time minimized. Just report trolls to the mods. Ignoring is ok, but reporting gets the trash taken out before the thread gets derailed. |

I've made clean installation of Windows 2-3 times since I've entered the passwords last time.
I hope the investigation of this case can improve the Bitcoin world and can prevent such incidents in future
Did you transfer any BTC to any address controlled by the private keys in question before this? Or was this the first time you sent BTC to this wallet? If it was the first time actually using that wallet, it seems likely your private keys were already compromised before you reinstalled your OS. So how secure was your setup before you installed Windows 10? Were you using that laptop for anything other than running a Bitcoin client? When you first installed the client, how confident can you be your system was clean at that time? |

please look the charts: http://data.bitcoinity.org/markets/arbitrage/USDokcoin has the highest price ($394.64), while lakebtc has the lowest price ($382.91), almost $10 spread and even though their USD trading is not as free as the CNY, but the trading fee is low (0.2% Taker & 0.1% Maker), and also the FIAT deposit is free too. I don't know how long this volatility will last, but I shared it to you, anyone would like to miss money?  That's 2.37% profit to sell at okcoin and buy at lakebtc. Then you subtract fees, and then you have to withdraw USD from okcoin, which they charge 0.1% for. Then every financial institution between okcoin and your bank takes their cut for the transfer, can't say how much that is. |

I hereby ban account sales here and on all other forums. Now go forth and do evil no more.
That should do it, right?

Notice the B in Bitcoin is the same B as in the Bethesda Softworks logo.
  You could at least try a little. One is a serif font, one is sans. |

So basically we're talking about off-chain transactions, essentially creating a centrally issued currency backed by BTC? That's what I get from the idea of controlling velocity by charging fees. The incentive for large holders to deposit BTC would be interest paid on deposits. Where would the money come from to pay this interest? If it's transaction fees, then essentially it's a zero-sum game - fees must equal interest payments, but then there's overhead to account for as well, meaning you either need an additional source of income or depositors will end up with a negative return overall.
don't see the attraction.

i think that the central bank would ensure that the bitcoin is at a stable price using monetary policies, like am thinking of bitcoin banks(banks holding deposits in bitcoins), so the bitcoin banks would have a certain interest thy pay on deposits and interest thy charge on loans. then there is controlling the liquidity.
"monetary policies" such as? Are you proposing we lift the 21M BTC issuance cap and allow a trusted party to issue new BTC at will? If not, how would the central bank gain the leverage to enforce any policies? Trying to dampen volatility by selling and buying large amounts of coins seems like a great way to go bankrupt. |

In Indonesia itīs not a weasel but some kind of cat in the poop coffee story there. Some other place itīs goats I think. Itīs true stories Iīm sure but the sales based on it are probably mostly a scam.
It's called Kopi Luwak. Civets are used to, ahem, process the coffee. Apparently nowadays the animals are caged and force-fed to cater to the high demand. What a shitty world. |

target: 333
time frame: <24 hours
reason: plans to make banks buy large amount of BTC to pay ransom failed.
Crime doesn't pay, Adam! You should know better than to go up against the banks like that. Or maybe you could explain what you're talking about? I swear, I can't decipher half this thread because I don't have an RSS feed of every on-line mention of Bitcoin on an IV drip... |

Before we go into whether there *should* be a Bitcoin central bank, we should ask if there *could* be one. What should such a central bank do, exactly? How would they enforce their decisions?

Except everyone upgrades their miners....meaning nothing changes and nobody is getting cheaper coins o_O. If everyone is still using similar efficiency 28nm and hash rate drastically increases, then miners are suddenly making no money and have to HODL unless they want to sell at a loss. Hash rate just increased 37% in a couple weeks.
The problem nowadays is that even if they wanted to hold, they couldn't. Most of the mining business is built on debt by people who thought that buying mining equipment, plugging it in and operating it with 3 different commands, makes them industrialists. They will probably see the end of their endeavors in one big wave of bankruptcy and despair. Do you expect all miners to go bankrupt in one blow? If not, then what will happen if mining is unsustainably expensive is that the hashrate will drop until sustainability is reached again. Hopefully that rate will be sufficient to secure transactions. Don't get me wrong, I do think currently security comes with far too high a pricetag. The question is, how much hashrate is sufficient security? The design goal as far as I've read is to make a double spends and other attavks uneconomical, but what does that mean in terms of % of valuation spent on network security per annuum? This worries me. Miners dumping the maximum of what the block subsidy gives them daily doesn't. |

Bears?  I think we could see a correction down to 335$ here. Just to recharged... Order books are thin. Ugh!! Whyyy? But we were having so much fun! Well it would be healthy for the market. Since when has the Bitcoin price done what's healthy for the market? |

You know what, the only thing more tedious than NLC's constant trolling is everyone else discussing NLC. Good night!

What about the button "I was there and two friends of mine got shot"? What about that you fucking dumbass? What now? I'm lying? I'm an illuminati agent? The thing I've seen were hallucinations? Come on. Argue with that. I've seen them in the hospital two days ago. One got hit in the stomach and the other one in the right leg, that fucker is allergic to morphine so they can't give him any. If you deny that just because you've seen someone holding a phone and a dude smoking a cigarette on youtube you can, sir, stir your asshole with a telegraph pole.
Pics or it didn't happen. It's funny how you think that you have a right to be pissed off because someone on the Internet does not believe your story. You're like a jew who gets angry when someone denies the holocaust and provides evidence. What about those victims to the Kenyan terrorist attack? Why is Paris any better? Or perhaps that Russian air plane? Why is it that the world goes full retard on Paris false flag terrorist attacks while not giving a damn about dead Kenyians, Palestinian child victims to Israel's attacks and passengers of the Russian air plane? And finally, it is not impossible that a couple of civilians were injured during the operation to make it more believable. No, but seriously. You're going to come out with a claim the Paris shooting was clearly fake and those who believe it wasn't must be brainwashed, and when confronted about that with personal experience on the matter, all you can say is "WHY U SO BUTTHURT"? Really? What is this about for you - truth or trolling? |
