Pretty sure domain names, named after people, unless yourself, are protected. You're gonna lose it if mark wants it.
Yes.

Specifically, this section of ICANN policy:

Quote
a. Applicable Disputes...

(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and

(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

please provide some evidence to support this.

I found the original image.

Is it weird that he seems to go from stumbling idiot who doesn't even know what a 'bitcoin' is, and keeps mistakenly calling it bitcom… to someone that feels they would have the understanding enough to even answer the question of "would you be able to technically come up with the idea for bitcoin"

Does his response to that question not imply he knows what bitcoin is and understands how it technically works?    Or am I missing where the AP reporter may have enlightened him to what bitcoin is and how it works… and THEN asked the question on whether he was technically able to come up with the idea?

I think the question was either poorly presented, or misinterpreted.

It all depends on how much he knows about Bitcoin. If someone asked, "Can you create a virtual currency?" I'd say sure, and do some sort of centralized value db, and some functions for moving values around.

I'd say no, for the same reason we don't have a pirateat40 subform. There will be no reason to continue discussion about gox in a month.
25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing hot wallet security by adding decentralized 2-factor on: March 07, 2014, 08:50:09 AM
that is a potential outcome but currently the existing bitcoin network has no support for partially signed messages.

I see, thanks for explaining!
26  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto's P2P foundation profile makes a reply on: March 07, 2014, 08:14:56 AM
OK guys, I think this is authentic and this is why.

I just created a new ning account and I did some test to see whether an admin could fake a reply from one of the website's users and there is no way to do this.

How does this work out if you are the dba son?


Exactly.

But it doesn't matter. Satoshi knows that there would be massive speculation if he ever came back, so he would almost certainly PGP-sign any message he writes.
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Autumn Radtke was NOT a "Bitcoin CEO" / "Bitcoin Exchange CEO"- what's going on? on: March 06, 2014, 08:54:38 AM
She appears to have been the CEO of a "virtual currency exchange" (imagine if you wanted to trade EVE Plex for Second Life Linden). This exchange also allowed USD/EUR, so you could buy and sell these virtual currencies.

One of two things happened here: either the exchange, at some point, added BTC to their virtual currencies list (then removed it); or, the media saw "virtual currency" and jumped on the BTC news wagon.

Lucidchart is awesome!

Problem is: everything you're describing is identical to multisig, except that both partially signed and completed transactions are on the same (main) network.

You could modify a client, or write a monitoring solution to do this.

No need to reinvent the wheel.

This whole 5-auctions-in-one thing seems horrible to keep track of, but I guess there's no better way to do it.

What is the advantage in validator for PHP that works without a connection to bitcoind?
You don't have to install bitcoind.

I assume "including shipment" means worldwide?
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1BTC or 1oz of Gold. Which one would you take? on: March 04, 2014, 08:33:58 AM
Gold, because my assets aren't diversified enough right now...
33  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why are people defending MTGox? on: March 03, 2014, 03:15:21 PM
What I don't understand is the many posters on this board that seem to suggest MTGox ISN'T in trouble and that it's all a conspiracy theory to destory them?

You remember the whole Pirate thing? How long people were in denial before they accepted it? Yeah, pretty much the same thing happening here.
34  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Forking Blockchain for lost keys on: March 03, 2014, 10:21:08 AM
I really think someone should make a alt coin named gox coin with only 720.000 coins!

That way everyone who got goxxed can get their money back and it will be only up to them to keep their value!

I'm sure they will fail again!

This is the only "not horrible" idea in the thread so far.

Code:
          "sig"  : "<signature of nonce for address>"

This sounds like a terrible idea. You're basically prohibiting major exchanges from having any form of cold storage... All private keys have to be accessible at all times for this to work.

I think Satoshi takes the cake for "amount of money earned anonymously".

Just sold an item, funds were released to me on Sep 18.

Western Digital 160G SATA desktop (3.5") hard drive. Formatted, no bad sectors.

5 BTC (Canadian shipping included, might need to add a bit for US) OBO.

Btcrow is a service I've used plenty of times before. 1% commission, dispute resolution, etc.
