Update: Adam Ficsor (@nopara73) and Myself are currently trying to test an implementation of a Chaumian CoinJoin mixer and client wallet using the ZeroLink framework and HiddenWallet. https://github.com/nopara73/ZeroLinkWe are aiming for 100 participants in the first scale testnet test and any participation would be appreciated. The mix is ongoing and currently we have about half the required anonymity set to conclude our test. To participate you basically have to download binaries (or compile from source), get some testnet coins, move them into a bech32 address in HiddenWallet and join the mix. Many thanks to those that than can help. A guide to participating in the test: https://github.com/nopara73/HiddenWallet/blob/master/HiddenWallet.Documentation/TestingTheZeroLinkMixer.md |

Satoshi Nakamoto created the most significant invention of human history. It will change society forever and I am honored to be a part of it.
By asking to receive stolen bitcoins? How does that equate to honour? Stealing from riches to give to poors is honor! ?! Not everyone who trades on bitfinex is rich. Plus the associated price drop will hurt anyone who owns and uses bitcoin - no matter how much they have. There were a lot of people who lost small amounts of bitcoin but that was all they had. Not exactly honourable to swipe the contents of a load of random accounts is it. |

@rekcahxfb

Maybe this giveaway will improve your karma)

He didn't just steal from the rich like robin hood supposedly did you bell, he stole from Bitfinex customers - not from bitfinex's private stash of bitcoins. Not everyone who had btc on bitfinex was rich. |

As a social experiment it's interesting to see so many people posting their address.
If you post your address and suspect the OP is the bitfinex hacker and you intend to keep the bitcoin and not return it then are you saying that you would have stolen from bitfinex customers yourselves if you had the technical ability to and if you thought you would get away with it?
I'm guessing so. That doesn't paint a very nice picture of people here and on reddit who are posting their plea addresses.
Is it not possible that some whale out there wants to change someone's life, or does the poster need absolutely to be a hacker/thief/cocksucker that deserves jail? Of course, the chance is there... but this community is kinda notoriously skeptical, while being ridiculously gullible... basically, who fuckin' knows? Maybe I just missed the admission of guilt.... where was that posted? his username is rekcahxfb reversed - bfxhacker. has also made references to giving away 'tainted coins' on reddit where he/she posted the exact same post at the same time . |

If it is from the hack and someone is trying to launder the coins they could:
Give away first 1000 coins.
Observe fallout - police interest in recipient, recipients ability to sell coins etc.
If fallout is negligible then do the same again saying it will be a weekly thing but this time send to an address of their own that they have posted in amongst the ever increasing number of addresses.
Repeat in subsequent weeks.
I haven't posted an address by the way - seems wrong as it's other people's bitcoin that should be returned.

As pointed out by u/Penroze on redit Here's what I'm guessing is happening. The person who hacked bitfinex is now trying to launder the money. Here's how.
Declare a "giveaway" where you give 1000 bitcoin to some "random" person who posts there address on several different bitcoin forums.
Post an address yourself to one of the forums.
Wait a week, and give the money to the address you posted.
Claim the money wasn't illegally gotten, but from this giveaway. nice info mate  Am i the only one that understood this as a 1 btc to 1000 users ?! Imagine people reading in newspapers and tv that some guy gave away 550$ to 1000 people each. That would be insane It says: "one lucky winner will receive 1000 BTC" |

Claim the money wasn't illegally gotten, but from this giveaway. nice info mate Suggestion on same forum by u/pedrito77 you could easily proof that the btc were giving randomly. for instance he could post a txt file with all the addresses posted and every redditor could verify his address is in the txt file (ordered). then he could anounce the winner will be chosen the day after the posted list with a random number (some real lottery pick or whatever). i.e. the last 3 numbers of the.lottery were 563...then the winner will be the 563th address in the list. I'll stop referencing it now - it's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4vykkr/1000_btc_giveaway_from_your_friend_rekcahxfb/ |

Am I right in thinking that the steem currnecy was pre-mined and in the hands of the owner of Steemit?
So when they talk about Steem's market cap are they including the 60% (or whatever it is) that he owns?
For the sake of easy Maths:
Isn't this a bit like creating 1,000,000 tokens, giving 1000 away to people who join early on, letting them trade them against something with actual value so they are given a price (let's say 1 USD$ for the sake of the example) then giving new joiners 10 of them each with an incentive to buy more so they can boost each others posts and make more steem. As more people join and try to buy vote booster tokens in order to make more the price rises to 2 USD$ then the owner declares the market cap as USD$2,000,000 (original million that were mined * 2 USD$)?
I know there is more to it than that what with Tokens, Steem, Steem Dollars, Steem Power etc but they all just seem like ways to obfuscate what's going on.
Unless I've missed something that sounds like a bit of a 'dodgy' way to determine market cap.

well, they can be....you upvote yourself...or downvote others  ...i saw a very interesting alt of a steem whale who DOWNvoted people...me included ) That's what I thought - doesn't seem 'fair' to me to allow someone to have multiple accounts (can be clearly seen from looking at transaction history on an account). |

I ll tell you in a simple way why it does not protect you.
When you inject more steem into the system it makes your money worth less No it does not, and this is the source of your confusion. Let's use another example here. I have 10 coins, you have 10 coins. Now we create 20 coins out of thin air (100% inflation!) and give you 10 and me 10. Has anything changed here? No. As I said earlier, this is a stock split dynamic, and does not change anyone's purchasing power, despite that scary "Inflation!" word. Steem is a little bit more complicated than this, but not much. Until you understand how stock splits work and why the "inflation" created by stock splits is only an accounting adjustment and has no economic relevance, you will never understand Steem. What's the benefit of having multiple account's with Steemit and transferring Steem Power between accounts ? E.G. https://steemit.com/@smooth , @smooth-a, @smooth-b, @smooth-c, @smooth-d, @smooth-e, @smooth.witness? |

Prove me wrong then , why do people buy steem other than to speculate?
To get more sway and profit in content curation, genius. No one cares about voting power, all they care about is increasing their steem stash which is speculation. Albert11 - I think you are wasting your time using reason and logic with these guys to be honest. Fair play to you for sticking at it though. Steemit has a lot of 'early adopters' who's posts consist mostly of talking about how great Steemit is, how much they have made and how people should get into it by buying Steem/Steem Power, thereby boosting the 'value' of what the early adopters have already invested - be that Bitcoin or time, which kind of seems a bit like a Pyramid shaped return on investment model to me ;-) |
