Make No Mistake: MyBitcoin is NOT Back Up!
Today at 01:10:26 pm

MyBitcoin.com Is Back: A Week After Vanishing With $250 K. USD Worth of BTC, Site Claims It Was Hacked http://goo.gl/QBLca

Actually, Ed & I are only ONE account holder. We had 25,000+ Bitcoin in only one of our accounts -- the largest one of about a dozen accounts we had there.

It's more likely that the total of all the 10s of thousands of account holders balances is worth millions of dollars --- even at today's low prices.

The site is NOT back. People who should know..... believe: The bogus statement is a stall tactic to buy him time. He is getting very scared.... and he desperately needs to buy time.

The good news is: He is a bitcoin multi-millionaire himself. ( Remember, he's been in this since before July 2009. ) It is very possible that he DOES have the funds somewhere. But pressure MUST be applied to the FBI and the Canadian Mounted Police's Cyber Crimes Division. If you had an account there, please call the New York FBI Cyber Crimes Dept. IMMEDIATELY and file a report. They will protect your anonymity if you ask them to. The more account holders they here from, the more chance these funds can be recovered.... for the 10s of thousands of people affected.

If you had an account on MyBitcoin.com Immediately Telephone: 212-384-29

This is after the "report" was released by mybitcoin.com. Kinda weird to see bitcoiners ask for FBI help.

Why does Bruce think pressure will help him get the bitcoins back, when he so obviously thinks that the guy is a scammer?

Any legalgoons know what "going into receivership" means? Does anyone need to give these people their money back? or is it like bankruptcy?

Receivership means that you have given the company over to someone else to settle what debts it can, but also to make back whatever it can squeeze out of the remains of the company. Depending on the agreement, the customers may be owed whatever fees the site charged, but there's no way the receivers are going to count the actual wallet files as assets and return them to anyone.

So if mybitcoin is a scam, this is essentially a ploy to stall for more time (why would the scammer need time though?)

If mybitcoin is legitimate, then they would be having a hard giving back stolen bitcoins, like what's been said before. I don't know if they can sell what's left of the website (the hardware I guess) to make it up to the bitcoiners. It's also gonna lose revenue because people won't trust it either.

Doesn't look like there's a way for people like Bruce ,who have such a large share of their coins in mybitcoin, to walk away from this and keep a significant portion of their bitcoins.

The mybitcoin webpage also has a claim form up.

Still likely to be a fraud? I'm not too sure it matters at this point, because so many bitcoins got lost in the attack.

Also, Bruce is getting antsy about people criticizing "his" conference choices.

In a response to someone complaining about the choice of locations (Bruce picked every holiday location he could think of), this is what Bruce has to say.

Bruce MotherFucking Wagner posted:

Actually, Pattaya is CLOSER to the brand new Bangkok International Airport.... than Bangkok is... driving time wise.

Also, Pattaya in on the beach. It has gorgeous resort hotels like The Ritz Carleton or the Four Seasons --- on the beach --- to choose from.... for the Conference.

Bangkok is a big ugly dirty city. Trust me. Everyone would like the places on the beach in Pattaya better than anywhere in Bangkok.

It amazes me at how critical people can be.... about places they've never been to... and things they've never attended... etc.

Anyway, you'll love the 5-star resorts on the beaches of Pattaya.... for about maybe 10% of the cost of the same room in the US.

Oh, and the last time I was there.... The hotel sends a Mercedes limo and driver to the airport to pick you up... no extra charge.

Bitcoin could be used to create a silkroad for books

It could work like this:

1. People go to the library, take some books home, and scan them in.
2. People who support the project donate some anonymous bitcoins.
3. The system automatically divides the bitcoins to each person taking part in the project each month. The more pages you upload, the bigger your share of the donations.
4. Continue until every book existing in the world is uploaded, for free, without any restrictions, in one amazing library for every person on the planet to access.

"hurr my currency frees you from the shackles of government and overregulation"

*scans books, violates multiple copyright laws*

I have a feeling that if the poster ever wrote a book which ended up on his "silkroad for books" he would end up calling the FBI too. Wouldn't the ideal world of free enterprise also have some regulation to keep people from defrauding others? Because right now bitcoin only looks like a (bad) way of taking other people's money through fraud.
Why can't anyone in the bitcoin "community" see this? Are they that much in love with the idea of making money and becoming rich?

Anyone remember the greed ending from Stalker?

Also never mind that the free library is probably paid for with local taxes :rolleyes:.

And it wasn't as much Bruce suggesting Pattaya, it was his damned insistence that it was going to take place there without any discussion. If he hadn't made such a terrible and weak attempt at defending the venue, people would have moved on to the next thing - but no, Bruce had to deny that the child sex trade was even an issue in Pattaya. Hint: It absofuckingloutely is.

Now, remember, this is a “coffee chat reality show” — which is a fancy way of saying, we know it’s not perfect… it’s “reality”. It’s not supposed to look produced. It’s spontaneous and casual. The show is live-to-tape… which means you can watch it any time you want… But… Because it’s also aired live while being taped… you can join in the conversation too. Just join the live chatroom, send an @ tweet via twitter, a gmail chat, or even call in via skype… and your comments and questions will be a part of the show too.
