Hasn't there already been a tax return hoax already? Too bad they didn't just give the info to wikileaks without the ransom. This is the next evolution of journalism if this works.

An anonymous individual or group is alleging that they have gained "all available 1040 tax forms" of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney by accessing computers in the Franklin office of the professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. "All major news media outlets are going to be sent an encrypted copy of the most recent tax years that your company had on file since you did not have them all in a convenient electronic form. The years before 2010 will be of great interest to many. If the parties interested do not want the encrypted key released to the public to unlock these documents on September 28 of this year then payment will be necessary.
The deal is quite simple. Convert $1,000,000 USD to Bitcoins (Google if if you need a lesson on what Bitcoin is) using the various markets available out in the world for buying. Transfer the Bitcoins gathered to the Bitcoin address listed below. It does not matter if small amounts or one large amount is transferred, as long as the final value of the Bitcoins is equal to $1,000,000 USD at the time when it is finished. The keys to unlock the data will be purged and what ever is inside the documents will remain a secret forever. http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/anonymous-group-allegedly-hacked-romney-tax-records-franklin-firmWhile the claim of possessing Romney's tax records may well be bullshit, I'm guessing that any extortion threat towards a Presidential candidate is going to attract serious investigation - including an attempt to identify the owner of the Bitcoin address in question. This could get interesting. The September surprise! Gavin has some 'splaining to do.

Jesus, i just read through 8 pages. Unless i missed something big and are retarded(which is possible) i didn't see anything. Just post a link please.
Since you evidently need it, the TL;DR version: Matt would not have made the bet if he didn't think he would win. That is all. All you need to know, all he's said. Check back on the 9th. So he didn't post why he thinks pirate is legit. thanks. Because of his hubris.

Use bitcoin as it is intended to be used. Peer to peer, not centralized. Bitcoin is about an individual's ability to assert sole authority and control. Giving that up to someone else is entirely against the intended design.

Hopefully he didn't keep his bitcoins at BitFloor.

Me: So a little while ago, Gavin said that there was a big announcement coming up in September. Any chance this is it?
Charlie: No, this is not it. What he's announcing is an announcement, not... Well, I don't wanna say any more.
Me: Fair enough, didn't expect you to go on-record with it if you knew.
Charlie: No, he would kill me if I said anything. He was just here recently. He would kill me. Looks like Gavin's CIA training is beginning to pay off. I wonder just how lethal he is now.

So I can't addnode via the RPC console interface? This HAS to be a commandline option?
Unfortunately, that feature missed the cut for 0.7. Oh well, I don't think I was able to maintain any ipv6 connections anyway. I'm behind a tunnel broker, so I don't know if that matters or not. Thanks devs for all the work and I look forward to future releases.

It is now September where I am.
I don't understand how an open source project can hide major developments. I assume it isn't technical in nature.

Charitywater.org replied with "Thank you for reaching out to us! Your payment system sounds really interesting, but unfortunately we don't have the capacity right now to take on any new donation accepting platforms."
That's 2 down, 5 more rejections to go.
They're getting so many donations they can't possibly accept more.

How can I add an ipv6 peer? And does anyone else have a peer I can connect to?
