Also, perhaps you should add an entry for the unknown Hacker, i bet there would be people on his side as well (and the financial auditor that was careless with his machine's security too)

I don't have enough information to be able to be comfortable siding with either

At least for me, Bitcoin feels fresher and easier than physical cash, and also it feels like it's worth much more 'cause it grow in value; going for physical cash first feels kinda less efficient in comparison

If i was in position of snatching the booty out of a thieves hand i would, and would hold onto it until i was sure the safe where it was taken from was secured again (or the police instructed me to hand it back to the original owner even though he was likely to loose it again). But i admit the temptation of charging a "finder's fee" to compensate myself for the trouble would be significant, not sure how i would decide on that...

I'm not sure what to make of what has been said in this thread (but i guess i'm not really aware of enough details about the events and things here would make way more sense for me if i knew as much as most other people)


lol, stop posting!!! i can't post my reply you guys keep posting again and the forum shows me your replies before i can post mine!! Xp

An obvious comeback would be "of course, you're gay", but i'm not the type of person that would react like that.

edit:wow, that guy's a mod o.o Talk about playing with fire Xp

ps: my previous post was supposed to make people laugh, please don't  be offended, regardless of who you are

You could probably have gotten more coins if you posted pics of your tits to prove you're a girl (no, showing the lumps on a t-shirt isn't enough, anyone can stash balloons or whatever under their shirt), oh, and write somthing like "Bitcoin rules!!!" with a sharpie to prove it isn't just a pic you got off the 'net.

I think it is important to keep in mind that anyone could have sent those emails, it's likely not someone Tradehill is very fond of right now...

Unless i'm mistaken, email senders can be spoofed quite easily...

Are you guys that received emails from Google by any chance among the people holding significant amount of coins at 'gox?

Google sent me no mail...are you sure this is legit?

People got kept away from their precious coins for so long that once they can get them again they'll pay any price, i'll bet on 50 bucks for kicks

How expensive it is to build your own little molten salt Solar plant?

I know that the wallet is still vulnerable in RAM, but restricting access to the file on disk would already be quite helpful.

I'm looking for a program that will intercept requests to read, write etc the wallet.dat file, and if it isn't one of the programs i've explicitly authorized it will only serve a scrambled readonly version (and if possible log such attempts), but if it's one of the authorized programs access will be completly transparent as if the protection wasn't there. Do you know of a program or group of programs that would provide me with such functionality?


ps:i'm running WinXP here, yeah i know, yuck.

They're not even a whole thing, more like a quantity, like water being poured to and from buckets.

Having tons of money to start with.


That and having to go to physical bank agencies in order to buy BTC (i only got a savings account, and with my bank the webbanking is significantly limited in reach for savings accounts when compared to regular accounts; what keeps me like this is i don't need to pay anything to have a savings account, only a bigger fee for withdrawing/transfering money from the account, but since i don't do that often i save more than i spend with them)

Is the site down or is it somthing on my side?

Wallets are more like keychains than real wallets, the money isn't stored in them they just give you the means to use it.



It's practicly free to create new safes and keys, the client actually creates new ones automaticly somtimes; the safes are kept in the blockchain and the keys on the wallet.dat.  The issue with having multiple copies of a single wallet each copied in different points in time is that you risk the older copies not having some of the newer keys, and without those keys you can't get to the money in the safes those keys open; if you loose a key and don't got any copies of that key the money stays locked forever (it's actually quite hard to guess the right key for a given safe, the number of possible shapes is absurdly high)

I'm waiting 'til the 'coins i got are worth at least around 1k USD total before starting spending anything more than sporadic donations of a couple bitcents once in a while, i don't wanna run out of money too soon (or at all really).

Could you at least keep us posted on the progress of the upgrades you're doing please?
