There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Fred Pirate Ride Sat 21 April 2012
by GregK » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:19 am

Ahoy, pirates, bucanners, freebooters, corsaires,

This Saturday's Pirate Ride may be sailing from a different port. LBJ Park in Stonewall, to be specific. Looks like another gale-force day, similar to last Saturday. If only we could reef our sails.

Forecast points to gusting winds from north and northwest. I suggest two possible routes. One is the Sandy loop, probably ridden counter-clockwise. The other would incorporate Cave Creek and then up towards Willow City and meandering back via Wahrmund-Ahrens and North Grape Creek Rds.

I am looking for 1.5 to 2 hours of steady, more-or-less earnest cruising up and down hills, mostly to burn some calories and stimulate mitochondria multiplication. For those still interested in crushing hills in advance of West Texas climbing, well, my period for that training will have passed. (I may punctuate the group ride with some individual TT efforts once back at the park, as a final fitness honing effort before beginning sincere tapering for the Big Event.)

Open to other suggestions and comments. Hope to post a more concrete description tomorrow, or Thursday at the latest.

And by all means, if some Pirates prefer to ride out of Fred proper, please don't hesitate to post a "competing" ride.

--Greg Kagay

None of this proves anything of course (the standard no mexican hitmen disclamer applies) but it is an interesting lead.  Smiley

Pirate used to run s2expert.com, so actually BradonB@expert is his partner.

Another IRC log from the same channel (#cecc): http://pastebin.com/g55RpzNc

BrandonB|xpert_:        nah, i'd have to give god to trendon, i've learned a lot from him
BrandonB|xpert_:        People like me, Trendon, Bill, Zach have been here for over 2 years, and it's the same thing over and over again

From this it seems quite plausible that GregK merely knows pirate/his dropbox.
I don't see how it can be assumed that GregK is pirateat40.

Agreed.  Basically a casual link, they know each other.  Nothing else can be assumed from this.

This is not private information. Pirate posted that Dropbox link on a public forum. The individual in question maintains a blog about himself. I do not see how simply reproducing that material might offend privacy as you appear to imply. As always on the internet, you are the sole responsible for what you put on the web; the web doesn't force you.

OP may well be correct.  It's the fact that a conclusion was drawn at all that people will find offensive, especially when you're talking about attaching an identity to the potential theft of what looks like may be about $5 million.

I think OP is very likely doxxing the wrong person.

That said, if I were you I'd be more interested in the 500K BTC theft, than getting consent.

To rule out the possibility, someone should definitely give GregK a call, or get the police to give him a call.
I'm sure Greg wouldn't want to get involved in some enormous theft and fraud case if he indeed is not involved.

Make an inquiry into if/how GregK knows Trendon Shavers, at a minimum.

Does anyone know more about Brandon? (brandon@s2expert.com)
