bug?? my bitcoins magically doubled

[Portnoy]

I realize why some people are so aggressive and paranoid on this forum.
They have a lot of money invested in BTC and have good intentions.
You relate to the website that lost money, as if it could happen to you.
Understandable and respectable.

If I would have found 5 grams of weed under a plant in the airport and post "i have magical found..." thread
you'd all high five me.

Hey!!  I left that weed there when I realized I was holding just before I got on a plane. I was gonna pick it up later.

Give that back to me or risk getting called a scammer or a narc or any number of other nasty names!

That's not really a Bitcoin bug, you know?

[DanielVG]

Bitcoin, like dollars, is used for a wide variety of purposes, both legal and illegal. It's just a tool; what you do with it is up to you. And I don't think the word "anarchy" means what you think it means. Anarchy means "without rulers", not "without law". There is law under anarchy, even if the law is something along the lines of "don't steal from me or my friends or I'll kill you".

oh rly?

an·ar·chy   [an-er-kee]  
noun
1.
a state of society without government or law.
2.
political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control:
3.
anarchism ( def. 1 ) .
4.
lack of obedience to an authority

I do understand what you mean though, even in a world without laws or central control, there will always be a group of people with moral sense.  An unwritten "law" in human nature.

It actually happened to me a few years ago.  I had to take an intercontinental flight and found some *censored* in my wallet, i forgot about it.  So i looked for a place to hide it, found another package, replaced them both, came back 3 months later and walked home with both.  
I have been looking for the owner for years!  never found him.
I know your joking but if you post the date(still have flight ticket), i'll give it back, just because it would be absurd.

Flight 23 with Captain Clark
Interzone airport
Thursday late or early Monday morning and/or Friday at 3:13 PM
April 20th
Year... unknown/variable

A report was summarily submitted through the proper channels but is now out of my control.  

[Gladamas]

Don't give it back!  They snooze they lose.

I registered just to come and tell you this.

'Scammer label', pfft.  You only have 11 posts - nothing to lose.

If the website is that incompetent to be risking other people's money on faulty programming - then call it justice.  The real 'good deed' would be to out them so the rest of us know not to go there and risk our money on their bad software.

I'll do my part: betsofbitco.in currently has my balance listed as negative - I guess I 'scammed' them out of the transaction fee (reverse-scammed?  they scammed themselves?).

Wow, you're starting to talk like Bulanula and NVitaliyB.

Nor does it mean that anyone using it honestly is somehow "contributing" to illegal activity.

i strongly disagree on this.

bitcoin miners are indirect responsible for a future growth in worldwide illegal activity.
same as drug users are responsible for sponsoring drug cartels that train rebels & terrorists.
same as people supporting TOR network are creating a platform for pedophiles.
same as Mc donalds customers are responsible for mass exploitment of animals.

you're a decent guy, the money you're making just makes you blind.
It is a moral issue, we all have to be aware what chain we are part of and how it can influence the world.
The nature of the "just a tool" is very dangerous. and it is definitely not "like dollars". lol

With what purpose were bitcoins designed?  it fits very well in cyberpunk and anarchist "mythology".

[DanielVG]

The webmaster thanked me for notifying the bug, i gave back the coins. problem solved

he did not gave me a reward though, the selfish son of a bitch.

tap me on the shoulder or call me an idiot...

Knowing you did the right thing isn't reward enough?

Right. Better stop using money, then. And food, while you're at it. Otherwise you're indirectly responsible for poverty and famine, respectively.

Sure it is. I can give dollars/bitcoins to gun/drug/porn dealers, and they'll give me guns/drugs/porn. What's the difference?

This is true, but hardly relevant. True anarchists believe that law and order can come entirely from voluntary cooperation in a society without a ruling class (regardless of what your dictionary says and how the word is used in general speech, the word literally (and as used in political science) means "without rulers", from the Greek ἀν an (no) + ἀρχ arkh (ruler)), and do not advocate immoral or unethical activities, and do not condone illegal activity except where the law itself is unethical.

Well, sorry for talking you into doing the right thing, but doesn't it feel better to help others rather than steal from them? Wait, don't answer that.
