Guys... long time lurker, had to make an account today!

just wanted to say..at this point, GPG, PGP, cryptography is not going to prove shit! All you can say is that Yes, this was signed with the proper key! Unless you were watching Dorian at his house and hitting f5 to see a new comment from Satoshi is being posted or not you wouldn't know! That is of course minus the possibility of him scripting it or just giving his key to someone else..... stop saying "sign it brahhh". That's not how it works!

A signature could at least prove Satoshi is alive and the account is not hacked. But yes, it is hardly possible to proof one is NOT Satoshi, unless there is some special conditions (e.g. that person was in jail during 2008 to 2010)

Right, good work bud, p.s can I have some of that premine?

just incase  Tongue
1aDc1eWYydpi8vmfhx3woYKd459Hdqz43

Fuck off you greedy begger there is no premine in Bitcoin

Bitcoin has such a soft launch the amount amassed by any one person with a normal computer mining even months after the launch would be in excess of any other common 'pre-mines' so in effect there kinda is, if you wanna get into the depths of it ......... The majority of bitcoins are so densely spread amongst the early adopters that if some % of this stash was given away now (like how the faucets were in 2012) it would probably be quite beneficial for bitcoin economy and growth in general.

no problem and have a nice day  Grin

We all wish we had mined in 2009, but your (and my) ignorant doesn't make it a premine. With several months, the network was slower than 10min/block because difficulty of 1 was still too high. This suggests that the early miners did not have the intention to mine all the coins.

They hate it because because they have missed have biggest opportunity in their life.

Which opportunity are you referring to?  Putting all their money into BTC at 1100 USD, and being forced to sell them at 700 USD?  Or putting all their money into MtGOX and losing it all?


If you quote please quote the whole thing. I'm referring to those who witnessed the 100x or 1000x appreciation, who learnt bitcoin before 2013.

By the way, I couldn't think of a single reason to put one's all money on gox

Ok so the last hour i did some reading on random news sites and forums etc.
I've seen some hate against Bitcoin in the past but the stuff i read today! It looks like everybody who doesn't actually own any coins hates it! And not just hate it but is absolutely totally digusted by it! Like Bitcoin just killed their dog or something. I don't think i've seen such almost global hate and disgust towards something on the internet ever before.
People want to see it burn! They want to see Bitcoin and Bitcoin users burn in hell!
Oh and like most here already realized, many of those people think Gox = Bitcoin and Bitcoin just broke down. Bitcoin is bankrupt. And they LOVE it! They act like it's the best thing that ever happened on the internet.
The fact that 1 coin is worth 660 dollars doesn't mean anything it seems. Bitcoin is dead and WE ALL lost our money and totally deserved it.

I'm actually a bit shocked. I knew it was bad but this bad?



They hate it because because they have missed have biggest opportunity in their life. They learnt it for months or years. They ignored it, laughed at it, but at the saw time they witnessed the 100x or 1000x appreciation. They were lazy and didn't want to learn about it. They called it a scam/ponzi/tulip bubble at the first day they learnt it, but they have never seen a scam/ponzi/tulip bubble that could grow in such magnitude and time scale (There might have been a few 1000x scam/ponzi/tulip bubble in human history but they could never sustain for years). Mentally they couldn't join the party now because they could have bought at $0.5. If bitcoin really succeed, they will feel like an idiot for the rest of their life. Their only hope is bitcoin getting burnt in hell.

But all these are irrelevant to the future of bitcoin. If there is really some indications with this, it means we still have a huge room for growth. These people are just like mentally shorting bitcoin. They spend time on internet to talk about it because they are paying attention to it. If the growth is astonishing enough, their "mental short" will get squeezed.

1473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Counterfeit Bitcoin? on: March 05, 2014, 02:54:41 AM
Absurd and mathematically impossible. The concept doesn't even make sense... Like saying someone has created a counterfeit solution to an equation  Grin
More like saying that somebody knows a shortcut method to solving a block.

A shortcut will still require time and energy to calculate. The difficulty will increase and the block creation rate will remain 10 minutes/block.

All known shortcuts in SHA256 are already implemented in ASIC so everyone are still equal

I assume these are mistakes of some idiot journalists. But now the TBF should be aware of the mistakes. If they don't stop it, it is intentional deception.

Great post!
On the other hand it'd be great to have a way to "invalidate" the stolen coins, that would only affect the thief that could not spend the coins anymore...
All the other coins would increase in value, so that's good for the community as a whole, even if it does not repay the people whom the coins were stolen from.
This invalidation/block could be optional of course.
I think if something like this could work, it would also reduce the potential issues in the future.

How to judge and who will judge? The court? Then why don't you simply use fiat?
Maybe each user could judge for himself?
Or maybe we could have blacklist plugins that can read list of "blacklisted coins", kind of like AdBlock Plus can get various list of Ads to filter. Then users would just opt in or out of these.

How do I refuse stolen fiat money? there is no way for me to know that any coin/bill is stolen... but with the blockchain it may be feasible.

How about the thief sold the stolen coins to innocent people, immediately after the theft?

How about the coins were transferred legitimately, while the sender is such an s-hole, saying that it was a theft?

None of your business. If you don't like it, just don't use it. Bitcoin is not a legal tender, you have the freedom to use it or not

No that simple. A hardfork with OP_CHECKSIG will likely to break all kinds of implementations

Breaking implementations is sortof the definition of a hard-fork...


Anyway, this is already something I'm working on with a few others. The discussion is going on in a mailing list dedicated to these types of programming languages:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.concatenative/3712/match=

Not necessary. Some hardfork may not break all implementations. For example, increasing max block size won't affect SPV clients

"Hard fork" is just a scary way of describing a mandatory upgrade.

Nothing wrong with them because only the ones with overwhelming user acceptance can work.

No that simple. A hardfork with OP_CHECKSIG will likely to break all kinds of implementations
