/r/Bitcoin seems to have descended further into self-parody. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2zrdxz/withdrawals_halted_as_stolen_evolution_coins_make/cplpftr stanley_fresca 5 points 2 hours ago The fact that the coins can be tracked and tainted is a fundamental fact of the bitcoin protocol. If you want a currency that can't be tracked as easily, consider using paper US dollars. What a novel concept.

The Management posted:so is this guy arguing that AML is a good thing and that anonymous financial transactions should be banned? I'm pretty sure bitcoins are still anonymous in the end. The Blockchain™ appears to only tell you which pocket the money is in and not who's wearing the pants. Every attempt I've seen to move past that ends up in wild speculation and how it was clearly Mark Karpeles the whole time. CoreDuo fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Mar 23, 2015 |

Chocobo posted:its not a pump and dump its a revolution If bitcoin is multi-level marketing, then Synero is multi-level stupidity. CampingCarl posted:Still it is pretty funny to see the goal posts move from "bitcoin is completely anonymous" all the way to "bitcoin is not anonymous at all" depending on what the latest bitcoin scandal was. Agreed. It's kinda both since you can mine, hold, and trade bitcoins more or less anonymously but the moment you try and exchange them for real money you need 47 different ways to verify your identity and 16-factor authentication from companies with no real privacy policy or credibility. Kind of like trading Magic the Gathering cards. Oh poo poo. CoreDuo fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Mar 24, 2015 |

Found this post on reddit from nearly 4 years ago that's pretty good. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/j4t58/3rd_largest_bitcoin_exchange_has_lost_its/c2961ws "The thing to remember is that bitcoin is still in its infancy. If bitcoin is around 5 years from now, I have no doubts that the kinks will be worked out. But until then, we're all early-adopters, with all the related risks." Still waiting...

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:Hey, this might be weird, but I just heard of fitcoin the other day, and was wondering if you're in anyway associated with it. That'd be kind of cool if you were official and stuff; just figured I should ask, considering that it'd be pretty cool to see a reddit post with 0 post karma become a reality a year later. That is some desperate advertising.

IETF proposal to embed Bitcoin addresses into DNS records https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wiley-paymentassoc-00 quote:In the case of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, transactions are not reversible; if Bitcoin is sent to the wrong address the funds are permanently lost. quote:The security of different payment mechanisms varies widely with respect to vulnerability to unauthorized transfers. In the case of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin that vulnerability is very low (provided the payer uses their wallet properly). It's so secure that you could lose money permanently by making a typo.
