[words] Thanks for proving this setup doesn't stop retards, trolls and illiterate morons from posting here, all in one post. Good jerb. *plonk* |

Game is down for me again. Unable to connect to the client. Anyone else? I wonder what it could be this time?
Same shit. I'd assume same reason. |

I've got access now, servers should be back up in 30 minutes or less. <mr.burns>ex-cellent</mr.burns> I agree that the ISP's behavior was seeming slightly suspicious. Looks more like a competence issue at this point, but still. Personally, I missed no license stuff at this point, and only an hour of the end of an herb license (that I had already turned a profit on), so no biggie here. See you on DT and thanks for keeping us updated! |

To get the last couple hours of online time I just had a clickbot hit F5 for me on a busy thread for a couple hours. I'm sure the kind of people who scam could easily do the same thing.
In fact, it's pretty obvious they do, if you look at the Ripple giveaway thread, where a bunch of very suspicious accounts are posting addresses. Anyone who really wants to scam is doing it anyway.
It also doesn't seem to stop idiots much, since the normal non-noob threads are jam-packed with idiots, droolers, trolls, kooks and lunatics. As is most any high population message board. The high quality posts are still there, and arguably, it would be even worse without noob hell.
However, if this particular implementation of a noob hell was all that great an idea, you'd see forums all over the net adopting it. Instead, I've never seen anything like this at any other site. It's idiosyncratic and weird.
Oh well, whatever. If it bothered me enough, I'd set up my own forum. Everywhere has its quirks.

At the very least, many of us will have missed a day or two days of Feather Tree licenses if it really does last until Monday.

We split funds into a hot wallet which is on a machine that we have physical access to, a warm wallet that is on a machine not directly connected to the internet, and a cold wallet which is not connected at all. All three wallets are safe and in our control. No Bitcoins have ever been kept on the DDoSed machine. Thanks. The money's all I care about. The rest is mere inconvenience. |

Not to be overly paranoid, but where's the Bitcoin wallet? Could these rinky dink Third World scammers be robbing the site blind?

and this mean exactly what? is it provably fair or not? This means that we use real number generators that have been certified as being random and fair. So they don't generate imaginary or complex numbers. Okay. Who's certified them? |

Another update: I called Di(Teppy), he said that the Costa Rican ISP is currently preventing him from accessing the servers. We also have two physical server backups but both are held at the same data center, so he is not able to transfer any data over to the hardware in the US.
Maybe there's a reason someone was DDoSing those crooks. Sounds like their shit needs fucked up. |

Offer large, positive expectation wagers. You will get swarmed.
Of course, you won't have any BTC left before very long, but your name will be famous.

Since presumably none of the people involved are going to die, why would anyone not send the message to keep active?

This is a warning to all those who are considering doing business with person named Luceo on the Bitcointalk.org forums. Any charity affiliated with Luceo is suspect as is Luceo's character. When requesting a refund I have met nothing but resistance, classic scammer attitude. Make sure you are checking out the people involved in the so called charity and the charity itself. Make sure there is evidence that the bitcoins you are sending through Luceo and Luceo's affiliated "projects" are going, in fact, to a legitimate charity that you can identify.
Luceo said via IRC that he would refund EVERYBODY's btc, which obviously has not taken place. One point to remember, when you send your btc, it is effectively gone. Although my personal amount was small, the aggregate of people's btc can be significant. All I've seen in this thread is you make wild accusations, obviously be incapable of understanding simple sentences, and otherwise act like a moron. For example, you seem incapable of answering whether you'd like the BTC paid out to the actual account you sent it from, as the agreement clearly states, or what. Are you just too stupid to understand that simple request, or are you not even who you claim to be? Since you've misunderstood everything said right here in this thread, I have no reason to believe you about some IRC conversation. I believe he probably said exactly what he said here, which is that he'd refund everyone's BTC if the raffle is closed. I recommend everyone stay away from you, and all the bullshit that comes out of your mouth. If anyone is a scammer here, it's you. I think you're trying to sucker him into refunding money someone else paid. If not, though, you are truly stupendously stupid. |

The server appears to be down. I'm sure we'll be getting terribly useful in-game updates some time after it comes up, whenever that is.

People won't use Bitcoin for transactions if they feel it'd be illegal to use cash for those transactions, simple as that. This explains why nobody uses SilkRoad, because it would be illegal to use cash for the same purposes. |

DDoS again or just a hiccup? Been down a few minutes.
EDIT: I'm back, site doesn't seem to have tons of people reconnecting, so maybe it's just me. Was down about 10 minutes to me.

Ohhhh, tax evasion is going to be high once everyone knows how to use Bitcoin  There's no reason to think it will be any higher than it is now with cash. People get caught for tax evasion not because the government can track every dollar spent but because they claim one income and are obviously enjoying a different standard of living, i.e. Al Capone. Also unlike your average tax evader who takes everything in cash under the table, there are ways of proving that a careless evader spent a specific amount of BTC through a specific address to a specific address at a specific time. So it's entirely possible the tax evader who spends BTC will get caught red-handed with what amounts to mathematical proof of their tax evasion. BTC, unlike cash, requires separate efforts to ensure anonymity, since there is nothing inherently anonymous about the protocol itself. |

It's online but bitcoind is down so neither deposits nor cashouts can be made.
