Meh. Free transactions are only done for charity anyway.

How exactly are they going to exchange that large amount of funds into the network, to millions of accounts?

And through what method will they organize a large scale attack funding wise? Its going to take soo long time that.....well, lets see what happens

[grue]

too lazy to type address manually

[Maged]

Meh. We could use a good stress test.

[Garrett Burgwardt]

I can't believe someone expected this to work.

[Nick]

Seems legit.

[Anonymous]

One doesnt just make accounts in bitcoin.   

[Horkabork]

Haha. There's no way any Anon with any sort of influence on fellow Anons would come up with such an unimaginative name as "Operation Bitcoin."

[goatpig]

Looking forward to it.

I forget or never saw the exact details:
What is the Bitcoin protection against transaction spam attacks?

Funny innit...

... bitcoin is qualitatively different from other currencies, in that its core-constituency is (at the moment) geeks.

But not just geeks. Ideologically-driven geeks. A community of ideologically-driven geeks, who are (in large part) doing this as an experiment.

So instead of "oooh... that's really scary, we're being threatened", our relationship with Anonymous (or some lone nerd) isn't one of adversary, so much as an experimental partner.

You say you can bring the network down? That's really interesting. Please... give it a go so we can see how resilient our system is... so we can see if there's some way we can improve.

IMO, Anonymous should set up an "official" (how?) Bitcoin address for each operation. I would gladly donate to fund operations that I morally supported and was reasonably certain would go to the correct individuals.

[DATA COMMANDER]

There's very little chance that Anonymous is actually behind this. They ought to love Bitcoin on principle. Someone should post a link to this in Anon's den. I have a feeling they will be annoyed by this imposter and may even go after him.

[Horkabork]

Here it is on blockexplorer, if I typed it out correctly.

There ain't nothing on the ledger yet.

Haha. There's no way any Anon with any sort of influence on fellow Anons would come up with such an unimaginative name as "Operation Bitcoin."

Also I doubt they would act like anonymous and 4chan are the same thing...

Supposedly the transaction fee. Although from my understanding, when the client was patched to handle 8 digits after the decimal, sending anything below 0.01 BTC would enforce a fee of 0.01 BTC.

So instead of "oooh... that's really scary, we're being threatened", our relationship with Anonymous (or some lone nerd) isn't one of adversary, so much as an experimental partner.

4chan != Anonymous

There was a long time ago when they used to lurk /b/, but today's 4chan user base has very little to do with Anonymous.
