It's unconscionable that someone would deliberately target a client favoured by casual users.  It's difficult enough to get people involved with Bitcoin even when there aren't hackers trying to take advantage of them. 

I read this yesterday on reddit, this is pathetic, this is part of why many still fear investing in Crypto. My question is how do we keep this community from hackers or make it more difficult for hackers. I believe the hackers wallet should be monitored and possibly trace for a possible final sell-off regardless of the time frame.

I am not after your for copyright, I dont care what you do so long as you are not spamming the forum constantly to earn money.

However tracing back that image of the spinning ball (even if i know to pull image source some may not) gives me no greater chance of attributing it to the original source creator than if it was just posted here  on bitcointalk servers

So it is no better than copy and pasting the spinning ball text straight here in terms of reference to the original source and not claiming as your own

A newbie who wanted to spam with this method could find spinning ball texts or whatever slap them in a pic and embed then via 3rd party host into threads here where they are mildly relevant .... a bot could do this and there would be according to you no way to act against them

To me it is actually away to get away with using non original text or material without attributing or referencing the actual source ... it is get out of jail free benefit from others work. I can tell you know I bet someone doing that a lot for financial gain would be in trouble. I would not be surprised if this is the next noob way of spamming of non original work and will be hard for spiders to jump on too.

create some content of your own.....

LOL so now you just start creating different situations to yours to defend... because you do not have the intelligence to realise that is not applicable to your case at all.

Let's just take this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009045.msg47044986#msg47044986

Where you do acknowledge the original source ? are you claiming you created that text and then made it into a pic? about the spinning balls? are you saying embedding original content from merely a 3rd part hosting site they may have placed their own original content is okay? I mean how would one even validate from some hosting site where it was from or whom created it?

Where do most memes acknowledge the original source of that content? some link to a 3rd party webhosting is a reference to original source?

That spinning ball  text if copied and pasted from a website here it would be plagiarism... .not that I would give 1 fuck so long as it was not done all of the time and that person was being helpful and was not just doing to to earn money.  So now a newbie bot should not rip content via copy and paste of text they can just rip the text and place it into a pic on 3rd party host and that will be okay? I mean even if you are saying people need to know to click image source then go to that url .... how to know if this is put there by the original source or someone else just ripped off his stuff and put it there? even if he put it there himself and there is no way to track back to him for credit then again that makes it impossible to for any plagiarist to get caught. That kinds of makes it impossible to complain about any pics placed here and linked to 3rd party sites. The entire thing is almost a way to rip non original content spam the board with it and then make it impossible to complain about because you claim that embedded link to the 3rd party source is a good enough.
.

What is to stop bots grabbing text splatting it into jpegs or any other pics and splattering the board with it on any related terms?? nothing that's right and that is what we want to prevent.

Stop trying to have the last incorrect word or create some kind of situation to defend that is not applicable to the situation you are in.

I am not interested in you filling your post count up (collating without direct reference to original source) with pics of others original work so stop worrying yourself about it i can smell your fear from here. Just shut up and buzz off and find some more original work of others to post from 3rd party hosting sites

I will continue to bring new ideas to the board and help provide a fairer system until the entire arena is decentralised and trustless

shut up fool you are a hypocritical dip shit

loads of your posts pages and pages are just content that you did not create I mean most pages of you history are filled with content that is not original.... you are probably net negative here so don't start talking to those on another level in terms of contribution to this forum.

why don't we just tell noobs to copy and paste text to an image and post it here linked from somewhere else how will that be any different ... filling up tons of spam all over the place that bots can do in seconds.... this kind of implanting of other peoples content is equally as bad if not worse and yes could actually have legal implications now or in the future.

He is actually right, it doesn't matter if it's hosted on an external site or not, if you are the owner of the forum you can be sued for copyright infringement if someone posts a copyrighted picture. Of course it matters a lot where the server is located.

In large part, linking and framing are not held to be copyright infringement under US and German copyright law, even though the underlying Web pages are protected under copyright law. Because the copyright-protected content is stored on a server other than that of the linking or framing person (it is stored on the plaintiff's server), there is typically no infringing "copy" made by the defendant linking or framing person (as may be essential), on which to base liability. Some European countries take a more protective view, however, and hold unauthorized framing and so-called deep linking unlawful.

The European Court of Justice's binding ruling in 2014 was that embedding a work could not be a violation of copyright:

The embedding in a website of a protected work which is publicly accessible on another website by means of a link using the framing technology … does not by itself constitute communication to the public within the meaning of [the EU Copyright directive] to the extent that the relevant work is neither communicated to a new public nor by using a specific technical means different from that used for the original communication

Unfortunately such attacks are very common and you can't be careful enoug so it's good to use every possible protection you can implement. Hackers are very active and will always misuse any vulnerability they find.
In this case they've taken really nice sum of Bitcoin and there is nothing that could be done about it.

but 50% of the supply is in unknown hands and 20% of the supply was stolen, y buy a scandalcoin

It was quoted by theymos as an ideal para to introduce BitcoinTalk to newbies. Most probably the person who wrote it is xtraelv. Lemme know if you need the BBcode. Its good to serve the forum...

We are surrounded by legends on this forum. Not just the ones that were phenomenally successful but also some that tried and failed with catastrophic results. Then there are those that scammed at the expense of others. This forum is a digital museum.

Some text in the intro was obviously inspired by xtraelv's signature, which I really like.

As a member of the forum, you are surrounded by legends; phenomenal successes and catastrophic failures. The forum was created by Satoshi Nakamoto and saw the first exchange, the first altcoin, and the first ICO, but also catastrophic software flaws, massive thefts, and incredible scams. You too have an opportunity to become part of the forum's history: whether and in what way you do so is up to you.

Please mr nobody

Look at hypocrite ... worried about others peoples prior art..

this is just in a couple of pages of his history  ...pleb

where is your credit to these peopleS prio art?  where is your source?

Memes are now actually breaking the law in the EU ....are those hosted in the EU

Even so why would you think you can fill you entire post history crammed with crap you did not originally produce and the try to comment on a real legend you dumb shit.

Do you have any provable achievements here to make me believe you are even net positive here? to counter this ?

copy and paste or failure to add references now and then when helping people and gaining nothing financially is not permaban if you are netpositive....  I mean even 1. 1000 would be acceptable with no financial motive your history is littered with taking other peoples work and giving no credit.

Now sit down and shut up

Yes, I purchased the domain last night from the Canadian Revenue Agency. They knew my email address and that I was into Bitcoin, but I'm sure I gave out that info on a census somewhere.  They should transfer the domain over today since I just sent the coin, so I'm sure Theymos is just letting everyone know it is no longer for sale.

no one wants this coin

@xtraelv I do not agree with you at all.
For sample, who is the CEO of Bitcoin? you demand CEO in cryptopia T&A
Please delist Bitcoin from cryptopia...

Active and visible development team with at least two contacts given to Cryptopia

@xtraelv I do not agree with you at all.
For sample, who is the CEO of Bitcoin? you demand CEO in cryptopia T&A
Please delist Bitcoin from cryptopia...

And here is the proof that many coins were attack on cryptopia:
https://coinjournal.net/cryptopia-has-over-100-markets-disabled-charging-fees-for-return/

More than 100 markets are stuck in cryptopia's exchange after 51% attack, this is not just AU problem.

@xtraelv I don't understand what you mean.
You say that @rossen & @Althor49
Are supposed to give cryptopia 15,750 AU?
1. Why? This is open source, they are probably not the attackers.
2. Why do you think they have so many coins?
3. Why cryptopia don't buy from someone or give BTC compensation?
Even CryptoHub compensate us investors.
More than 100 markets are stuck in cryptopia's exchange after 51% attack, this is not just AU problem. Why should any one of us your victims will ever invest in your cryptopia exchange?
I really don't understand you please explain yourself

More than 100 markets are stuck in cryptopia's exchange after 51% attack,
