1. one can try to trace the bitcoin client that executes the unauthorized transactions
2. as a way to resolve the dispute ... all transactions to the disputed account could be reversed
[3. one could assign to the safe address pools of preferred IP addresses prior to the theft]
[4. one could assign an additional address[/signature] that is needed for resolving the dispute ... the service owner would have to make sure it is stored in a different place ... this could be the (central or independent) authority ... but the address owner has the a priori choice "whom" to choose]
1) You can already attempt to do this. Your suggestion does not make this work any better. 2) No one would take any transaction from an account that could be disputed making those coins worthless if this system was instituted. 3) The way bitcoin works, this would not be possible. |

While I personally will not need to purchase bitcoins with cash, you may have earned enough trust to offer a bitcoin for cash business now.

This can not work. If the intruder has control over the wallet, the abort signal would only bring it back to the same wallet that the original owner and the intruder both have the keys to. Then it is just a race.
Any plan like this involves a central authority to control what happens in a dispute and therefore goes against the spirit of bitcoin.

I voted no because that is how I personally feel about how things should be. I believe they were open as to the terms and what was going on.
In the USA, if they made any profits (that they got out) they could be held legally responsible and potentially have those clawed back. I am not a lawyer of course, but this has happened before with dollars. Things are different, as this is bitcoin (maybe protects the PPT's) and some of the PPT's knew and even said it was a ponzi (maybe hurts the PPT's). This is all new territory.

OP. Please edit title. Pending implies that the mods and powers that be here are looking into it. I do not think they are. There is no evidence that he is a scammer.
Many things need to happen first:
1) Bet needs to end
2) He needs to lose the bet
3) He fails to pay
None of those three things have happened yet.
This is like labeling me a scammer because I have not paid my car payment early.

I bought GPU's from him with no problem
Apparently I was just the first of his victims. |

No, the payment is irreversible.
Showing the information you have shown does not prove you own the address as you could have just read that from the blockchain after a large payment went to the faucet. Now if a site owner decides to send back the money to you they can send it back to the original address that it came from and at least the money goes back to the person who sent it.

OMG, no escrow on 460BTC? "First to pay gets it" should been the first clue....
He did have a trading record before this transaction. And that is why I bought watches from him with no escrow. |

http://blockchain.info/poolsAll it would take is the collaboration of these Big 3 to turn the network to their will, whether it be in secret or otherwise. How do we turn them into tiny networks like on the other side of the graph? This is about as diversified as I have seen the pool chart. A year ago deepbit had half, now it takes 3 pools to get there. |

This is another $200,000+ hack? No need to respond, I see all of the other threads. Wow. |

Black looks cool. It's the new "high tech" color seen in all the best motherboards and GPUs.
Black. Or fire engine red. They will hash .01% faster in red. ( I will buy in any color including white ) |
