1) Yes, that's a Parody. Imperi's a mildly amusing troll.
2) Clearcoin is an escrow house. If you're that paranoid, don't use an automated one.
1.) probably not a good thing to be making light off don't you agree ? 2.) why is he saying this OP and himself do deserve our donations if he isn't serious ?

I know others are also maintaining a list of addresses that the hackers stole." What is that about ?

You forget to put donation address dude. security problems are going to be the end of bitcoin.
I had almost 400 btc in my wallet on my linux box today. Someone was OBVIOUSLY watching the forums and either hacked me today or already had me hacked.
I had a very public LARGE business deal going and someone STOLE ALL OF THE BTC !!!!!
I was selling 10 XFX 6990's , I had 4 different buyers and I am completely screwed now!!!!!!
this is crazy, I really do not know what to do. i am going to get sued because some hacker scum bag
i was holding 400 btc of other peoples money and I was hacked today.
I have known this for hours but am just going public with it now. I really dont know what to do.
someone hacked my linux box and transfered out all this btc to some other accounts

i am ruined.
at least if you keep real money in your house and someone tries to break in and steal it you can fight them off but these hackers are sneaky as fuck i dont know what to do im like totally freaking out right now!

I'm assuming that this is a quote from the other thread? Remember what I said about him being a mildly amusing troll?

WTF did you have your wallet online? Mine is only online for the duration of the transaction I'm doing and then pulled back off to thumb-drive. If nothing else this bitcoin project will push more much better levels of security with computers, it is amazing how vulnerable all computers really are.

Get a copy of Microsoft Windows, I hear they're unhackable!

You can not roll a BitCoin, but you can rollback some. Roll me back: 1NxMkvbYn8o7kKCWPsnWR4FDvH7L9TJqGG

OP fucked himself up telling he got hacked on Linux. He should have said "OMG i was storing my wallet.dat on my win95 pc running IE2 and for some reason i got robbed while downloading all kinds of porn screensavers all day long!!11". Though, he would have been fucked up in that case too.

This post stinks !! But if your concerned about security use linuxcoin I keep telling people leaving your wallet on a computer online is like leaving your real wallet on the back seat of your car in plain view !! And then you bitch about it when your own mistakes caused you to loose money 0.2b has the option to encrypt your home folder making it very hard for a hacker to get your coins even if they swipe your pc or memory stick

or a helpless group of 10 people who has 35 less btcs. I hope someones got the balls to find him face to face and duke it out and maybe upload a video for viewing pleasure, but we likely won't see this happen. Not that I condone such act of course.

This is why they invented Clearcoin.
Clearcoin doesn't solve anything. Both buyers and sellers can scam the other using Clearcoin. I don't see how anyone can really scam each other through it. I've used it now once and asked the other person to donate to charity if I don't deliver so It's lose/lose. Am I right in saying however that if after 30 days they are returned to your wallet if not released but by that time you would surely file a complaint with clearcoin and show them proof you delivered what was asked

Yeah dude, locking your screen isn't going to help when all I need to do is code an app that greps for the wallet and then FTPs it to my server. You can code Bitcoin Malware in under 50 lines. Exploit via 0day, browser, java, bot, whatever.

can we place all these threats in a section called "I left the wallet on my car's front seat, and now it's gone"? we are going to see many of these
This is not going to be the end of Bitcoin, but the start of a new era in digital security products , procedures, services... culture?

What version of Linux were you using, and how did a hacker "hack" your system? It doesn't sound very likely to me. IE isn't available for Linux. There aren't many malware programs for Linux either. You basically have "herd immunity" from viruses just by using Linux. (For those who understand the concept "herd immunity")

Honestly, Bitcoin is a cool thing to speculate on and all, but to buy graphics cards with Bitcoin? You are basically asking yourself to get scammed. At least intermediaries like Amazon or Ebay can help you, but I wouldn't dare do commerce with Bitcoin. Not yet, at any rate.

By saying "my linux box just got hacked, and now I'm going to get sued", he also pretty much said:
"I downloaded something from an untrusted source, intentionally set it to executable, and then intentionally executed it. I gave the hacker your money. Now I am going to get sued because I am an idiot."
