The scammers are probably going to come in with more frequency and the like. This is going to be a hassle. There gotta be a better way...

A withdrawal insurance company. Interesting idea.

While interesting, he is only one individual. The Chaos Computer Club is composed of many more individuals and we have German speakers on hand who can help us. Convincing such large organizations will allow us to convince more hacker charities. Still, if there are Chinese speaker, than he could contribute his spare resources to convince individuals like these. A cross-pollination and cultural exchange between the east and west would be beneficial.

How about the Free Software Foundation?

Mtgox should find a way to make money other than asking people for donation. This is to keep mtgox in business even when a large scale scam hit and Mt Gox couldn't sell the bitcoins at a high price to offset the loss.
I'll go ahead and make a donation to mtgox...

The Federal Reserve spent the past three decades getting inflation low and keeping it there.
That's funny, because I seem to recall a great deal of inflation from about 1995 to 2007. There are low inflation, so you did see a great deal of inflation. It's not mutually exclusive. I meant more than the standard "low" 2-3% annually. All of the recent bubbles had a fedreserve induced inflation componet to them. The tech bubble, the real estate bubble and the stock bubble were all linked to inflation in some capacity. Now we are in a state of deflation as a result of those bubbles popping, and there are still people who claim that inflation has been under control this entire time? That's a lot of bubbles in one decade.

dwdollar, is what you are saying, a fraudster stole someones paypal account and then used it on BCM to buy btc's from someone?
Yes, that is correct, except more than one PayPal account is involved. How does a person know if the paypal account is a fraud?

Very interesting that early in bitcoin history, somebody already is trying to do a large scale scam?

What is the problem about? Somebody actually trying to scam bitcoiners out of their money?

I don't think the current situation warrants the great optimism on the market at all.
It's just weird to me even with the positive news that has been circulating in the economy.

Would this explain the huge volume of exchange in mtgox or is it just a coincidence?

Why do you use subversion and sourceforge.net instead of the new and hip git and github.com?
How old are you anyway?

|

When are you going to display old auctions?

Continue the trend of the letter writing campaign to the EFF, which hacker/geek charity do you guys want to target next?
I guess we could use the EFF as an example charity that accepted bitcoins.

I guess nobody is very interested?

I think the price movement is solely due to the Bitcoin article which is still on the front page of www.fsdaily.comThis created a small extra demand at MtGox, plus a bigger extra demand from existing Bitcoin users who speculated by buying some extra coins before the fsdaily users arrived. It could be any number of things. For example, a new casino mmo just poped up. Probably some ATITD users are looking to cash in on what they earn. If there are any new services that manages to pop up during the bitcoin rally, it will probably drive up the price higher again....

PS: Do you realise how freaking genius was your idea of a decentralized time server ?
time server?

Yum. Let inflate even when time are prosperous.

I guess this thread will be used for news of EFF's eventual implementation of bitcoins.
