theflyingorc posted:im pretty sure bitcoins protocol does an excellent job of preventing COUNTERFEITING, but that has absolutely nothing to do with other types of fraud??? it is impossible to counterfeit coins under the protocol (software and buffer bugs aside) bitcoins don't exist, they're another representation of the sum of a massively bloated transaction ledger in order to actually counterfeit a coin, you need to counterfeit blocks. but in order for the counterfeit block to exist and the coin to exist it needs to get confirmed and if it gets confirmed its no longer counterfeit but an actual transaction

that really long post about digimon online exchange owns btw I told him he was playing with people’s lives, and some people stood to lose their entire savings. Like Gonzague told me the night before, he mentioned technical issues, and that he would look into my case. Then 20mins later at around 9.40am Gonzague arrived. “Good news” he said, we have sorted out your account, go and check it online. After I got Wi-Fi connection back the hotel I discovered my failed BTC withdrawal transactions had been cancelled and all my BTC were put back in the one place in the world I didn’t want them: The MtGox website. Back to joining the queue of 40,000 other BTCs.

[–]lofties 28 points 3 hours ago I had a job interview with MtGox a couple of weeks ago for a frontend developer position. After talking about their technical environment I declined the position. Contemplated publicizing my story, but I have zero proof that the interview took place. But gently caress me is their environment hosed up. Either way, I have been recommending to my friends to move any BTC away from Gox as soon as possible, and regret not bringing this advice into the open. I'm a Tokyoite, so if you want to talk to me about the job Interview, or just drink a beer, send me a DM. [–]sohhlz 9 points 2 hours ago Can you give any more details of the interview and their environment? [–]lofties 26 points 2 hours ago I was told that up until a few weeks [at time of the interview] ago, there was hardly any development environment to test changes. Most changes were done straight on the production environment. Typing this made me throw up in my mouth. The guy who interviewed me was very friendly, but I felt like a psychiatrist more than a job candidate. The dude went on about how lovely the atmosphere is at the offices, and what he told me about Mark seems to be spot on from what OP has said. Interview guy, if you read this, sorry yo.

for anybody thinking "uh but wouldn't that totally be worth it if bitcoin was worth billions", yes, it would, which is why the network security is so important and can't ever be less expensive than the reward for beating it

(Does this make sense? I imagine you'd need the sender's private key to sign the old transaction. and not to mention retooling any subsequent transactions from either original sender or recipient's wallets. seems like a monumental use of resources & computing power.)

i am typing too many words about bitcoin so i am going to copy/paste some instead [–]profBS 21 points 5 hours ago Based on this story, I now suspect: Mt. Gox has the coins. The coins are under lockdown as investigators crack down on them. Technical problem might be on purpose. Thoughts? [–]preferrous 10 points 4 hours ago The coins are under lockdown as investigators crack down on them. Very likely. Some government has probably subpoenaed the whereabouts of (at least part of) the cryptographic material needed to pull the coins out of cold storage, and now gox no longer has access to them. Not lost, but not coming back anytime soon either. [–]cypherreddit 5 points 3 hours ago That would support the suggestion they are buying cheaper coins on other markets this weekend. They might be trying really hard to salvage the company.

BEWARE: Tigerdirect and bitcoins (self.BitcoinMining) submitted 40 minutes ago by d6ftRgNz I don't know where to post this. r/bitcoin is more for companies starting to accept bitcoins and bitcoin news than anything else. This is the account of the story as best as I can remember. Left out large amounts of time I spend on hold. Story: The first day Tigerdirect accpeted bitcoins I placed an order using bitcoins. I haven't used my Tigerdirect account for a number of years, so I unknowingly placed an order with the wrong shipping address (billing is not needed as bitcoins were used). After I had received order confirmation through email, I realized shipping address was wrong. I called customer service and asked if they can change shipping address to the right address. They stated they cannot do that. So I asked if I canceled the order, would I get my bitcoins back. They stated I would get my bitcoins back within 24 hours. So I had the order canceled and reordered through the website with correct shipping info. 3 days later bitcoins still not returned, so I called customer service again and they stated that they do not return bitcoins but the refund would be in the form of a gift card, according to their website. I explained to them that I was told I would get the bitcoins back and I would not have canceled the order if I was going to get a gift card and I would have just arranged pickup of product with current resident. Transferred to manager and restated my dilemma and they again told me the gift card solution. Then the manager said the transaction of bitcoins never took place as they did not receive payment from Bitpay. I assured him that the bitcoins were removed from my account and the manager then said the bitcoins would be returned to my account in 5 business days. After the 5 business days and no bitcoins in my account, I again called and another manager said they were working on it. A particular customer service agent called me back asking for my contact info and a screenshot of the transaction of the bitcoins that were taken out. They then said they would work on the resolution of this. After a few days I emailed this particular agent with no response after a day. I then called and left a message with no response after a few days. Today I called customer service and was told to call corporate regarding this issue. Called corporate, got transferred to a manager, put on hold, then disconnected. Called corporate again and they said this issue is a customer service issue and was told to call customer service. Called customer service again and was put on hold then told a gift card is the only resolution. I gave in as it has been 3 weeks and no resolution. The gift card would not be for the amount of merchandize but would be in the amount of the current exchange rate (who knows which exchange rate they use) of bitcoins to USD. Currently the price of bitcoins is down because of MtGox closure. tl;dr: made shipping address error on order purchased by bitcoins, canceled order being assured bitcoins would be returned, after various calls and large amounts of time on hold and dealing with customer service that seemingly did not want to deal with this situation, I am getting a gift card refund reflecting the current btc exchange rate which has taken a hit today.
