I wouldn't trust a closed source application that relies upon a proprietary platform to handle bitcoin. Especially a platform obsessed with acquiring as much personal information as possible.

I'll be celebrating. It's like marking the transition between the age of pi to the enlightened era of tau.

I, for one, am really sad to see this project being put together so sloppily and being rushed out to meet fickle consumer demand. I think you really should be taking your time with it and getting it done right the first time around. It would be a tragedy to see this magazine come out before July.  For clarification purposes of what you're advocating, would it then be the July or August issue if it came out in July? To maintain any credibility and reputation in the periodicalosphere, the issue published and distributed in July must be called the August issue. |

Meeting with other fellow nerds is one of the great highlights of my year!

Just joined. You might want to make the auto-payout feature dependent on the user inputting a wallet address first. I don't know how your system is designed to handle sending payouts to nothing.

Any effort is better than no effort at all, and my advice is to always assume that no one is showing up, so you can be pleasantly surprised by even minor "success". Wish I could have gone, it was so close to me, but yet so very far away.

Hopefully people will realize that money is not worth the effort to maintain its destructive, divisive and deleterious effects.

I want to see which one gets released first, the magazine or Diablo III.

Since last week, we've been completely consumed with evaluating, discussing, debating, planning, etc, ways in which we can do better. This was a learning experience for us and Linode will only improve because of it. Hoping to have an announcement soon covering the results of these efforts. http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?p=49004#49004Apparently they're still dealing with it internally. |

Edit: It looks like someone is sending out small amounts of bitcoin to a large number of public addresses in alphabetical order...I think I just got tainted...
But those coins aren't tainted. At least not from the linode theft. 'Only' these 1062 addresses contain coins from the linode theft: http://privatepaste.com/ce5905880dMy guess would be that this transaction was made by http://dailybitcoins.org/ - do you use them? dailybitcoins.org: * sends out their payments around 3am (your transaction was at 2012-03-06 03:55:43) * mostly sends out 0.001 bitcoins, almost never less, with a few bigger (yours has 55 of 0.001, 24 of 0.005, 1 of 0.015 and some change) * puts the addresses in alphabetical order * usually has 81 outputs in their transactions (your transaction in blockexplorer: http://blockexplorer.com/tx/de3177f4e929d4deb1984889aa7ad79fd2e78075e41babbda23315bb5135e71f - has 81 outputs) I think it's a pretty good guess that it's them. Yes, that is it, thanks! Totally forgot that I tried that site. Apologies for the undue paranoia. |

MtGox/others could create an interesting service and a neat profit if they really exploited these kinds of events by offering clean coins at a premium. They could then use the extra funds to hire #bitcoin-police or others to track down thieves and provide theft reporting and tainted coin tracking services. They would probably never do that, but someone might one day.

Sorry to hear it. I really like that site.

You missed - on eligius, added bonus:
The coins you receive are virgin whereas with most pools you potentially could get mixed/old coins.
What is the advantage of virgin coins  You can sacrifice them to please internet gods. |

In any event, I bet every major host is double checking their TOS and reminding their clientele that they don't cover "imaginary webzone dollar" losses.
If facebook's employee administrator panel was hacked into and someone stole facebook credits from users, would they say "fuck you it's imaginary money"? I hope you're being sarcastic and not an uneducated twat who has never heard of digital commodities, intellectual properties and suing for damages. Well Facebook has complete control over their own currency and could easily mitigate such issues. Bitcoin is a different animal of a different color on a different planet. This isn't a data redundancy issue, nor an intellectual property issue. This is storing, backing up and restricting access to unique digital information that once accessed and used, is no longer valuable to anyone anywhere ever again (particularly the victim). I can steal the secret formula for Coca Cola, but that doesn't prevent Coca Cola from continuing to produce and sell their beverage. I can pirate a movie, but that doesn't mean the original copy is unviewable (in the vast majority of cases). I can login and delete all of your live data, but you still likely have backups. I can't keep my wallet in a safe and have the ability to double spend my illicitly accessed bitcoin (outside of exceedingly unlikely circumstances). I do not believe that I am a twat. PS: All money is imaginary. You are trying to preach a libertarian ideal without accepting that the US legal system is not libertarian. Bring it back down to earth now. In a court of law, what Linode did was actionable. That is the only point that needs be made. P.S. I don't think you're a twat and I typically agree with you, but this point smells of agenda. A court of law and physical reality don't always agree, I'll give you that. I'm hopeful that all parties involved will work together to determine what can be done to mitigate the losses, but this is an unfortunate collision between the purity of mathematical and physical reality and legal opinion, (assuming it even gets that far), and opinion will never trump reality. |
