Researchers Retract Claim Of Link Between Alleged Silk Road Mastermind And Founder Of Bitcoin

http://www.businessinsider.com/silk-road-satoshi-paper-retraction-2013-11

dang

just hit $1000, wow

that buys a lot of subway

Bitcoin is over fwiw. I'm all in on Litecoin

serious question. if I wanted to say, buy one bitcoin and then sell it a day later, how long before I'd see any actual cash? how much would I lose in transaction fees? is such a thing even possible in the U.S. without some major hoop jumping right now?

frogbs I'm gonna say that this week is your lucky week. All the details are here

But I have a better way. Just paypal me the money you wanna spend at ilxbitcoinexcha✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ and I'll take care of everything for you. Remember to tell me how many bitcoins you wanna buy

hit up my etsy storefront if you are SERIOUSLY interested in buying bitcoin no time wasters

i'm not interested. i'm just curious if it's even possible. from what I've read it seems like someone who bought it at $20 and now wanted to sell would have a very difficult time of doing so. like it would almost be easier to just blow it all on drugs and then sell those.

Yeah I really have to question how much liquidity there actually is on the market

right. like half the stories on ycombinator are "this has taken 3 weeks and I needed to give a ton of sensitive information" and the other half are "I got hacked and lost it all"

Lol Bitcoin users who used this service just got scammed out of all their bitcoins

loll the benefits of anonymous currency

every private/public key just leaked

http://directory.io/

dunno if that means anything considering the insane amount of data this is but lol

what does that actually mean

I don't really understand this too well but I think that each 'wallet' has a public key, of which there is a finite number available. One of the flaws in bitcoin is that two people could theoretically be assigned the same public key, in which case you could gain access to all the other guy's coins (and vice versa). There are so many public keys out there that this should pretty much never happen. Anyway apparently someone cracked the algorithm that generates the private keys and put up this website which matches up every potential public key to its private key, which is kinda useless since only like 0.00000001% of those keys contain any actual bitcoin. That said obviously all these pages here are only generated upon request which means that people who look up their own keys 'generate' the page which someone else can take to mean that money actually exists somewhere on that page.

does it mean that someone can look up someone else's public key, get their private key, and do something nefarious wiht it?

I guess I don't really know but it sounds that way? I don't think 'public' keys are supposed to be truly public. Then again isn't there a fairly public transaction record that contains this data??

The more I get back to reading about bitcoin, the more I feel like my friend has probably lost his judgment living in the silicon tower

yes

it's weird though, dude is smart as fuck and usually a cool-headed and skeptical thinker. But he keeps repeating these catch phrases like "it feels like the internet in 1990" that must ping-pong around a lot out there. He spent years having his employer do his laundry and drive him to work, so he may have lost touch a bit.

oh also "it's going to disrupt banking"

crypto currency drive a man crazy

I'm quickly growing tired of this use of "disrupt"

lol

"it feels like the internet in 1990"

i have a feeling in a few months it may feel a lot like internet in 1990

it is the internet in 2013

but it feels like the internet in 1990

in 2013

bitcoin is like having a website with nothing on it but a photo of the earth and a hit counter

Bitcoin feels like a Prodigy discussion group

Real talk first BBS I ever saw was a wheel of time one on prodigy in like 1995

it's like swiss banking in 1939
