so a friend of mine has an argentinian gf and she wants to get her money to the EU but she cant bc the argnetinian economy is poo poo and they cant have money leave the country in large sums

she mailed me an article today about argentinians using bitcoins to get money out of the country unnoticed and my question for the thread is: which should she do: put cash money in the mail or put cocaine in the mail?

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

Thankfully it appears no dick is present in this case.

could still be pedo though idk, though statisticly much less likely

Mayor Mike Duggan detailed Monday how Detroit has been victimized by cyber crimes, including how a city database was frozen in April and held for ransom.

Duggan said the city database was held hostage for a ransom of 2,000 bitcoins, an encrypted digital currency. A bitcoin is currently worth $401.75, making that ransom worth $803,500. Duggan said the ransom was not paid and the database wasn’t used or needed by the city.

...

The attack was one of several examples Duggan gave of the city’s lack of updated technology and security.

“It was pretty disturbing what I found,” said Duggan, who began his four-year term as mayor Jan. 1. “I found the Microsoft Office system we had was about 10 years old and couldn’t sync the calendar to my phone.”

...

“Twenty years from now, your car is going to be driving itself,” he said. “The vehicle will be talking to other vehicles, making decisions on when to stop and when to brake.”

A hacker could gain access to that system and control a vehicle from the outside, Snyder said.

“The risks we have today are only going to dramatically increase,” he said

gently caress the government of Argentina. However, gently caress Bitcoin worse. I would just buy gold if I were her.

Also, seriouspost, why is she trying to get money to the EU instead of to a nice Caribbean tax haven?

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
it's too bad he's already admitted to everything, his counsel could have argued that he is clearly too incompetent to have masterminded this complex online drug-running organization.

i suppose now they'll have to fall back on asking for clemency in light of the fact that he's clearly not mentally competent. hopefully his trial isn't in texas.

Warning - was hacked - hackers used my TeamViewer - emptied blockchain wallet (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 8 hours ago * by Plesk8

Not sure if Teamviewer has a vulnerability or if They just got my pw through old fashioned means

I will update more as I have time, right now I'm busy securing the rest of my coins.

note: I used 2fa on blockchain.info - can they use a backup of my blockchain wallet on MultiBit without 2fa?

Updates:
The hacker literally was browsing my gmail (which I leave logged in) as they were using my computer, presumably through TeamViewer or some other remote means.. They downloaded backup file out of my gmail - and clearly had my password too.

By the way they were able to sweep my accounts so thoroughly in Blockchain, it appears they had the backup

interesting: they left the balance in my blockchain address labeled "counterwallet" presumably to go empty my counterwallet also.. I was able to beat them to this - and create a new counterwallet and address and get things transferred safely.

~$630

the peak value of draper' bitcoins since he's held them was $655 which means if he paid $700 they've never been profitable.

he also planning on bidding on ulbrights coins too

so, in theory, he could have easily bought that many coins off an exchange for like 10% of what he paid for the government ones because of the shallow market depth, right?

edit: heh, the value of 50,000 coins is roughly equal to the value of the 30,000 coins when he bought them
