Well I just hope that when they're transferring the 100k elsewhere that they type 1keeweeKuoEj1PJmgeakwHqXF6CETLbN3 in the address field by mistake

It's possible. Only have to beat a 1 in 8.7 * 10^60 chance. Not that unlikely.

Google Translate (pretty shitty translation for this language pair, by the way, but better than nothing) gives me the impression that
a) they were defrauded or had their private keys stolen by hotel staff, and
b) rptiela estimates the damage to be in the range of 100k btc (or, as he helpfully points out, about 9M Euro).

Sounds like quite the successful conference, I must say. /snark

I get the impression that:

a) Someone had an interesting weekend...
b) rpietila had free room service, sponsored by Dread Pirate Roberts.  

I think the probability of staying alive until tomorrow has dramatically increased, as the first 24 hours after the evacuation did not see any violence or threats thereof. Everything else is still uncertain however, but I don't believe that the operative capability of my supernode or the Bitcoin Supernode Network in general have been, will be, or can be endangered. The general comment would be along the lines: "Bitcoin user not affected."

I really hope you real life is not in danger, but honestly i don't get WTF is going on here.

It is safer to fear for your life when there is no danger, than it is to not fear when there is.

Which category does keeping us all in suspense fall under?!  If i don't find out something soon I'll pee my pants!!!!

I spent 8 days before the summit in Haikko preparing for it. Then during the 24 hours after it started (opening ceremony was Thursday 14:00, Finland time is used if no otherwise mention), something went seriously wrong so many times that I felt the probability of it having been a coincidence had increased to well above zero.

When I ordered an investigation on the events, I did not have the opportunity of taking adequate care of my summit, my family, my sleeping, my water or my food. After about 40 hours of rather intense events, after which I was fully content to die, since there is nothing in this life that I can think of I would seriously miss (and believe me I can think of things that most of you can not), I had also exhausted my available energy. I did not feel I would have been able to keep my posture for any more time.

So I ordered a general evacuation of the summit and went fully offline for the time between Sunday 13:00 and roughly now. Since I don't have too much stress now, I think I can work approximately 16-18 hours per day indefinitely, provided that I take about 1 day off every 5 days.

Now I try hard to minimize the risk to the well-being of anyone, and to raise the stakes in the game described as follows: if someone actually copied the private keys there (I had access to over 6000 bitcoins unencrypted, open in my computer browser windows during the time it was compromised), he will have to suffer the fact becoming public in its entirety + all the details, if he spends the bitcoins before I have the time to spend them myself. Due to extensive precautions involved, it will take me approximately a week of calendar time + several thousand dollars, to fully ensure that the bitcoins are safe, by sending them to uncompromised addresses. I plan to concentrate on that during this week.

tl;dr: Fear and Loathing in Finland... The Bitcoin Supernode summit is decadent and depraved.

All that makes no sense

Its Finland, no one will steal his computer in a fancy hotel if they did not know about a huge reward in it
If the funds did not move, you do not announce publicly that they are there, unprotected
Moving BTC to new addresses do not cost "thousands of dollars"

I think this is just a funny way of whoring attention, and telling people how many bitcoins he dreams to have.

BTW, he always said he had 2Kish coins, and super well secured - didn't he?

Who said the bitcoins were his?

Didn't he have other people coming to the LEET NODE conference?

Adam should rename this thread from wall movement tracker to fiction, fairy tales and dreams...

The quality of the forums is inversely proportional to the BTC/USD exchange rate, it seems.

It is funny because this thread is SELF-MODERATED yet I see no moderation at all.

So the higher the BTC/USD price the stupider forum users get? lol

Walls seem to have become near useless.  A handful of small players react to them and the price remains unchanged. 

People don't seem to react to much of anything any more.  Big dump?  People just buy the price right back up.  Might be a side-effect of so little volume.

Can any of the bot owners confirm that there are still issues with the api or the initial scripts are functioning again?
IMO, its the bots who were driving the volumes and without them, there is less volatility.

Spending all that cash on drugs and hallucinating

MtGox seems to be down again.  Ddos?

It's a day that ends with a "y"

[N12]

It's not like anyone was trading anyway.

That's true

[Cubic Earth]

Maybe they are 'ddos-ing' themselves, trying to induce some panic volume.  Gox is the only real loser when it comes to these low volumes.
