Since we're already off-topic ( ) It's Lauda. I don't think it's any secret he's been trying to tidy up this dive. It's a breeding ground for the corruption of innocents, and germs.  

altho you strike me as a nut case.
i do believe your post should never get deleted simply because you appear to be honest in your nuttyness which is often entertaining and more often though provoking.
you tickle my noodle, why why why would i ever delete anything you say.
you know what we need???
a decentralized Wall Observer  with AI mods which automatically delete and moderated NLC excessive trollishnes.

i can't quite tell if this is NLC

IMO a fully successful bitcoin fork that brings about change and progress, and displaces cores monopoly, would be ultra bullish.
the chances of this thing succeeding are very slim
but why not take a min to answer some polls
click it -> https://btcfork.consider.it/ -> make accunt quiclky show your approval or disaporval

You are pretty delusional if you really believe any kind of contentious hard fork is bullish in any kind of way... 

Such a proposal is not logical, and that is one thing that the Ethereum hardfork should teach - especially, when you calculate something to be less controversial/contentious than it ends up being.

Some ETF talk here. Might we end up being spoiled for choice sooner than we know it? Or it might be another five or more years. If I was in the SEC my head would start spinning every time I tried to look into it.

2D thinking is fine. but think outside the box for a min
if bitcoin is better off going  that direction and the fork does end up becoming bitcoin
then we are better off with it.
and if bitcoin isnt better off going that direction, this fork is about as meaningful to us a new pointless altcoin.
now I've repeated this over and over... i do not think they will success at delivering a better product then core and so will not be able to convince poeple that it is indeed better, when it clearly wont be. but we'll see i could be wrong about that.
It has always been my opinion that forks are good, and an important aspect to bitcoin's development / evolution.
Its wonderful how a user could be afk for a year, bitcoin could completely change without his knowledge and then he could come on the network and do a TX as he has always done and it will be accepted.

The BFX "hack" increasingly looks like an inside job, I wonder if those involved are on the run...

That's not a very high quality website but it's hard to deny that this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109285.0;all  is unsexy, but perhaps everyone was starting quasi ponzis back in the day.

There've been consistent mysteries and questions surrounding Bitfinex. No one seemed to care enough to bother clearing anything up. I wonder whether this situation is going to force out some answers.

And nothing's been heard from BFX today. They must be 'thinking' still.

On reddit they say they have an upcoming announcement they will be making addressing how they will deal with compensating users. They apologise for missing deadline after deadline, and say they are doing a "final review" before making it. I bet they will make another apology tomorrow and say they are doing yet another "final review".

Well, it's possibly the most important decision they'll ever make so it makes sense to ponder it properly. At the same time they must be aware there are a lot of anxious people out there and should be taking that into account.

If I were them I'd probably chuck my computer in the sea and go on holiday but luckily I'm not.

When Bitstamp was hacked there was delay after delay and broken deadline after broken deadline before it made an announcement. After that there were more delays before the website went back online. I bet Bitfinex is no different, but it's doing a better job than Cryptsy. At least the CEO hasn't gone on the run yet (as far as I know).

So, from what the article says, bitfinex is run by a ~30y.old ponzi schemer, who nobody really knows anything about (no pic, no address etc), yet individuals and corporations (88% of the trading volume was supposed to be corporate?) are trusting him to run an exchange with >100mn in assets?

I can only L O L.

My name is Raphael NICOLLE, but I prefer unclescrooge. I live in Lyon, France, and I'm 26. Google is your friend for more.

And now, a special one for my ponziiiiii friends

"my ponzi friends" ahahahaha, omg this is even worse in appearance than the moolah guy.

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

Update;

After much thought, analysis, and consultation, we have arrived at the conclusion that losses must be generalized across all accounts and assets. This is the closest approximation to what would happen in a liquidation context. Upon logging into the platform, customers will see that they have experienced a generalized loss percentage of 36.067%. In a later announcement we will explain in full detail the methodology used to compute these losses.

[gentlemand]

And Wences Casares and the Winkies used an exchange run by an autist on a beach ball. Even if it was the only game in town at the time, I would've found another game.

Where's the info about that much Bitfinex volume being corporate? If it was then that's very stupid on their part. Even without the hack, it's pretty obvious to anyone that Bitfinex is not an organisation that's corporate grade.

36% for everyone? That might just be enough to quell the masses. Let's hope they keep on generating some income to pay people back.
