EDIT: This is the original account owner speaking. I did not create this thread, apparently somebody hacked into my old account.
Just found out because I received some mails about received private messages on this board.

I changed the account's password now.

The same people who throw those accusations around are now heavily investing in Litecoin.

MtGox also seems to consider adding litecoins soon.

I hope it crashes and becomes irrelevant before they go through with it.

Nothing against alternative cryptocurrencies, but they should offer significant differences to Bitcoin.

Where's that info from?

That was hilarious. The expensify guy did a really good job. I love how his expression turned to an amused "Really?" every time Michael Pento opened his mouth.

They should sign a message with that adress to proof it's under their exclusive control.
12  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-central.net say they detected a security-breach on: April 01, 2013, 08:36:15 PM
[Apr-1 10:30 CET] Bitcoin-Central and Paytunia update: Our customer's bitcoins and euros are safe and will not be affected by the security breach. We have taken the websites off-line for proper investigation.

The address 1LrPYjto3hsLzWJNstghuwdrQXB96KbrCy is under our exclusive control.

https://bitcoin-central.net/

Now why did that take so long? Good news though. Can't wait to hear the details. Then I will consider if I'll do business with them again, have made good experiences in the past.

I find it strange that the two big transactions at http://blockchain.info/address/1LrPYjto3hsLzWJNstghuwdrQXB96KbrCy are still unconfirmed.  Any reason for this besides someone trying to spend coin that isn't there?

maybe the theif was too cheap to pay txn fees Smiley
Actually the tx fees are 0.10 BTC each. 10 USD!

Oh fuck

Deep breaths. Remember, we really don't know anything right now.

But now that the cat is out of the bag, paymium should clarify ASAP if the emptying of the cold wallet was done by them or by a thief.

Does anyone know if aussie_striker runs the site? His commitment to this shitty ponzi scam indicates that he does, but on the other hand he doesn't seem to have the mental capability to set up a webserver, let alone keep a website running.
16  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Has someone evaluated the security of the alternative clients? on: March 20, 2013, 12:24:22 AM
So I have just read this link and it made me think: There are so many factors to consider to create a reasonably safe bitcoin client that there ought to be a flawed and exploitable client sooner or later.
So, has someone evaluated the security of the most used clients (Satoshi, Electrum, Armory, blockchain-info, ...) so it's safe to assume that the generated private keys are unguessable? I'm talking about weak RNGs, reused random numbers and the like. Unfortunately I know way to little about cryptography to do it myself.

Also it would be useful if someone with more grasp of the concept could create a checklist of possible vulnerabilities to avoid when coding a bitcoin client.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi Dead? on: March 14, 2013, 06:15:22 PM
Where do you guys get the idea that Satoshi owns so and so many bitcoins? I always thought that the often quoted number of "one million Bitcoins" seems off, but now you're pulling "5 million" out of your asses. What the hell!

Stop spreading FUD!

quote from site "The funds shares are distributed exclusively through the EXANTE Hedge Fund Marketplace platform" 

I see where EXANTE is listed on the HYIP Monitor site:

http://www.hyips-monitor.com/?search=EXANTE

Maybe Pirate's got a piece of this action...

I think that's just a scam with a similar name. Try https://exante.eu/.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A successful DOUBLE SPEND US$10000 against OKPAY this morning. on: March 12, 2013, 07:41:05 PM
A serious solution is simply for several major stakeholders to publish signed endorsements and/or kills to blocks. Users can subscribe to them, and if a supermajority agrees to kill a block, the merchant at the very least can be configured to stop and go into safe mode.

I have thought of this long ago, now others might take the idea seriously. It was aggressively rejected in the past under the pretense it was too "centralized".  I believe we need it to raise the bar on the risk of a 51% attack.


I have just read this on the reddit thread:

Quote from: Bitcoinin
Merchants like this probably need to build something into their systems to automatically go into a safe mode if a 2-3 block fork is detected.

This might be an equally effective but less centralized approach. What do you think?
