I ask that the poll be removed from the thread if possible. Having a fake poll say "Bulanula is awesome" with a majority of "yes" votes is misleading and is an abuse of the forum. Those who didn't see what the poll said before will be misled by it.
+1. +2. Mods? Looks like it's been fixed.  Bulanula is awesome !!!

Keep it simple, stupid. I like smf, but phpbb would do in a pinch. If you must use something else, xenforo with some of the extraneous features stripped out would be my next choice. Vbulletin is overrated and has feature bloat.

Theres an old saying that a backup doesnt exist untill its in 3 separate places  thats a good saying. Additionally, rjk's Third Law Of Backups states that if your backup procedures are rigorous and the backups are stored in at least 3 locations, you will never ever have to recover from them. If however they suddenly disappear due to a freak accident, that is the day you are guaranteed to need them the most. Kind of like the Law Of Extra Parts also by rjk: if you need 5 screws to complete a project, and you bring only 5, you are guaranteed to lose one of them. If however you bring 6 screws to a project that needs only 5, you are guaranteed to always have 1 left over. |

So let me get this straight. Are you investing in something using bitcoins directly, or are you planning to cash out to fiat in order to make your investment? Because I don't know of any large markets that take BTC directly.
So if we take the worst case scenario: suppose someone actually came up with 500k bitcoins; do you actually have another 500k to match them? And furthermore, there is no possible way that the market depth could handle a 1,000,000 BTC sale.

I have to wonder, how old are you really? Your lack of comprehension is hindering your ability to espouse fluently. If you cared to look, you would find that bitinstant et al are only providing a service to get-bitcoin/thomas, and aren't "in the same boat" at all.
Whatever failings that get-bitcoin and tom are having are not related to bitinstant's business, and therefore you have no right to attack bitinstant. And stop with the veiled threatening, it makes you look small.

Cool site! Analysis of this particular sample: http://anubis.iseclab.org/?action=result&task_id=10628d7019a46f47405a49a63bcc93a25It appears to be a trojan that does keylogging, and installs a reverse shell or VNC-type program. It does 2 DNS lookups and a few http connections, all shown in the report. Here is the beginning of the text report, not all of it will fit due to forum limits on the amount of text in one post: ___ __ _

The whole point is that the HSM is a single-purpose device. There is no point loading it down with extraneous functions, because they could be better performed by normal hardware in the usual manner. Additionally, giving the HSM a large set of features just means that many more things to hack and break. You want it to have a blockchain? That needs a network connection, which is not smart to have on such an HSM. Most HSM devices are connected via a serial port for a good reason: Harder to hack remotely.
