oh I did my debate with Jimmy Song on the exciting question of whether BITCOIN WILL BE A GLOBAL STORE OF VALUE BY 2040. you can listen if you like there's also a poll, which you should vote in according to careful listening for an hour and thinking deeply on the ideas therein

idea: a bitcoin miner virus that pops up a window saying that this is a program from el musk himself and he's using your processing power to look for aliens

Always store a cold backup under your bird bath. It’s just common sense.

I have over 24 million worth of crypto but I can’t access it! (self.legaladvice) submitted 4 hours ago * by johnporter22 So a wile back I invested in a crypto currency, I started off small investing only $50 which turned out to be an incredibly smart decision considering I made $7,000 two days after investing the $50. So after that I made another transaction and invested $200 which also grow to about $13,400 over a week. It’s been nearly 7 months now and I have invested $2,000 altogether which is now worth more than $24 million. But I’m having trouble accessing it the money, I’ve been doing the these transactions through my personal email address, the person I’m making the transactions with keeps making me pay transaction fees(I’m in America but the person I’m making the transactions with is in India) and I’m starting to get concerned that I’m not going to be able to access this money. What can I do to access the $24m or at least get back the $2k that I originally invested?

hello sir I am a bit-coin arbiter and I can retrieve your $24M but to clear the taxes and government fees I will need ten thousand dollars of google play gift card codes

Paladinus posted:Most ransomware viruses do literally nothing, and as with Melon Husk giveaways the idea is to get the dumbest person who is willing to part with their money. Bitcoin ones especially. Remember the first major ransomware campaign involving bitcoin? IIRC it was a big time Russian mob-backed effort, the kind with funding behind it that really will release the data if paid in time. It seems 3 days is not nearly long enough to figure out how to use bitcoin, and this was tarnishing the ransomware scene's reputation for honesty and trustworthiness as such, meaning people were less likely to bother trying to pay ransom. It was such a disaster that they had to create a customer support department with lines that victims could call to try and guide them safely through the bitcoin process, and give them a free decrypt key if it was genuinely impossible to do within the malware's 72 hour time limit, so they switched to Monero etc pretty quick. When criminals use bitcoin it makes the criminal look worse by association, not bitcoins Syd Midnight fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Dec 24, 2019 |

I remember way back in the early days, some porn site tried accepting bitcoin and found that it hurt their conversion rate to simply offer it along side the normal methods of payment.

nah wasn't wikipedia, it was mozilla - from the second-best book ever written about bitcoin (because the first is still "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" from 1841):I posted:The Mozilla Foundation, the charity that develops the Firefox web browser, began accepting Bitcoin donations for their end of 2014 campaign. This wasn’t good enough for the advocates: they demanded Mozilla include Bitcoin prominently on the primary donation page! With millions of page views, it was quite easy to run an A/B test, where you serve a different version of the page to a fraction of the viewers and can directly compare the effects of the two versions. The A/B test showed that the text “Donate with Bitcoin” dropped revenue per visitor by 7.5%; adding the text would have lost them $140,000 over the campaign, for the sake of a few thousand dollars in Bitcoin. The Bitcoin community, of course, claimed that this literal direct measurement was somehow statistically bogus, listing objections that showed they didn’t understand what an A/B test was.
