According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Needless to say, he didn't prove it via the steps I outlined in my reply PM. |
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

... Deserved to be scammed in my opinion ...
Your post, while equal to greykawk's in quality of contribution, is different in one important way: Yours is actually extraordinarily harmful to the bitcoin community as a whole. I've since learned that illWill, under a different username (but with the same email address), has scammed (at least) two other forum users prior to myself. Perhaps if these other users had created a detailed scammer-thread, I could have searched and discovered the connection. But rather than elicit responses such as yours, they instead slink away from the community (and bitcoin itself) subsequently writing it off as a cesspool of fraud, and won't hesitate (in the real world) to warn others away from bitcoin. My skin is thick, however, and the relatively small amount that illWill worked his many months to claim as his ill-gotten prize pales in comparison to the returns I've enjoyed by trusting those that warrant trust. None the less, the end result is the same: Your ignore indicator is now a bit more yellow than it was this morning. |

I needed a rather hefty WU/BTC exchange a while ago and he messaged me. I was so close to sending him the coins. |

No, RETARD, you and alikes, people lacking any fucking sense of "something is not right", are doing the biggest harm to this community. Just fuck off, OK?
You've got 45 posts and a piss-coloured ignore button. I see your opinion matters a lot. Also, to LoweryCBS, it seems like a bad idea to tell you this as we've done a PayPal to BTC trade before, but it isn't difficult at all to reverse this transaction if you call up your CC company and file a chargeback. |

Thanks for pointing that out. In addition to, um, goldenrod and grey, what other colors do the ignore buttons come in? On to the main idea... Is this a business opportunity to run an escrow service? |
I try to be respectful and informed.
