Welp, my dad just passed away from multiple myeloma. Its a poo poo day in little rock arkansas. But im glad to say that thanks to bitcoin i was able to keep him around an extra 6 months.

To anyone who thinks bitcoin is some joke. Jokes dont pay for 6 months worth of chemo.

His last words to me were "go make some coins" (i made him a believer)

Ill miss him dearly. Love you Dad.

Thats all. Long live bitcoin.

gently caress multiple myeloma!

UPDATE Thank you to everyone showing support. As mentioned in the comments i will collect any tips i get and i will tip every cent plus my own coins to a worthy myoloma cause. So im formally asking you redditors for suggestions on the best way to go about donating to help myeloma fighters/research while still advocating bitcoin at the same time. Tomorrow i will go through and see what everyone thinks is the best way and lets get this done right!

Thank you Reddit

Stop for a second and remember what you're looking at. That's from /r/bitcoin. What are the chances that his dad has never had cancer and he's just fishing for donations? I'd say pretty high.

Bitcoin laid bare: Boffins beat anonymity
Up to 60 per cent of transactions can be linked to IPs

The cyber-libertarian poster-child Bitcoin, meant to usher in a new age of anonymous transactions, is rubbish at protecting users' IP addresses according to research from the University of Luxembourg.

In this Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) conference paper by Alex Biryukov, Dmitry Khovratovich and Ivan Pustogarov of the Laboratory of Algorithmics, Cryptology and Security, “few computers” and a budget of €1,500 per for servers and traffic charges should be enough to start unmasking users' addresses with as much as 60 per cent accuracy.


If an attacker needed to be stealthy, their success rate would drop to 11 per cent.

In what they call “a generic method to deanonymise a significant fraction of Bitcoin users and correlate their pseudonyms with public IP addresses”, the authors say clients can be uniquely identified by their “entry nodes”, and that these identify the origin of the transaction.

“In a concrete example, an attacker with a few GB of storage and no more than 50 connections to each Bitcoin server can disclose the sender's IP address in 11 per cent of all transactions generated in the Bitcoin network”, the paper claims.

Even more scary: the boffins reckon they can identify users behind NAT firewalls – and think their attack could be extended to other P2P networks.

The key phase of the researchers' attack includes four steps:

Getting a list of Bitcoin servers using the GETADDR message and working out if the responder is a server using the ADDR response and sending it a VERSION message;
Building a list of nodes as targets for deanonymisation;
Mapping clients to entry nodes; and
Mapping transactions to entry nodes.
The paper notes that TOR would protect against this, but that, too, can be defeated if the attacker is willing to take a risk: Bitcoin servers can be prohibited from accepting TOR connections, but refusing those connections would be noticed.

Also likely to be noticed: to get their 60 per cent deanonymisation rate, the attackers noted, required “a slight DoS of the network”.

“This Bitcoin network analysis combined with previous research on transaction flows shows that the level of anonymity in the Bitcoin network is quite low,” explains Dr. Alex Biryukov in this announcement, which adds that the research team is currently discussing possible patches with Bitcoin's core developers.

submitted 15 hours ago * by mrblobby93

Yes those super cool acid dudes apparently are just scumbag thieves after all. If anyone has any contact to them - please tell them to contact MR BLOBBY. (this is not a joke however insane that might sound) After seeing all their great feedback for over a year I was dumb enough to trust them with a big order and they acted all cool, said they were sending half now half later, blah blah, nothing ever arrived and they dont answer any my messages on Agora or SR2. Yes I know sr2 is dead now. But They still have an account on Agora, so they can still login and see my messages.

UPDATE: ** I am offering 50 BTC Bounty for information that leads me to one of them. Either in London or Toronto. The boys are ready. **

[–]Calittres 8 points 9 hours ago

You floated 200 btc to an anonymous drug dealer and you are surprised that they took your money and ran? And I thought they were retired for a while now? Did this happen a while ago or is this off site dealings? If so then come on man that's pretty dumb. You gotta use escrow for some poo poo like this.

I don't really want a bunch of people giving advice about dark nets and trusting people etc. Just any info on any way to contact them would be great. If YOU know them, either ask them nicely to contact me on Agora, or smash them in the teeth with a metal hammer.

[–]AwkwardCow 12 points 13 hours ago

Lol they're not going to contact you. What are you going to do? Go to the police and go after them? You have no leverage.

[–]mrblobby93[S] -7 points 12 hours ago

Well funny you should say that. I know that SunWu were based in Toronto and in London. I happen to have some very good contacts in London, some very scary dudes that i'll just call 'the brothers'. They specialise in sorting out these kind of thieves. let's just say a few people have been found floating in the Thames. so SunWu if you are listening - don't be a loving dickhead. We are getting closer to you every moment. This is your final warning.

[–]The_Evil_Within 16 points 6 hours ago

The kind of people who have 'contacts' who will leave bodies floating in the Thames... don't go mouthing off about it on Reddit. In fact, they don't mouth off about it at all, they just get the job done.

[–]mrblobby93[S] -2 points 8 hours ago

BOUNTY: 50 BTC for any information relating to SunWu that leads to me finding one of them. I will pay smaller bounties 1 or 2 BTC for information like addresses, locations. No time wasters. I will pay the bounty when i'm satisfied.

[–]rctid_taco 14 points 4 hours ago

I can provide you with that but I'll need the bounty up front. I have great Reddit karma so clearly I'm trustworthy.
