Irreversible transactions do not make honour, ethic and law irrelevant.
Shit, it just took me like 20 times more words to say the same thing. +1 vladimir and another one for hitting the nail on the head.
This deserves more attention. Yay for Vladimir!
I would definitely give the BTC back, but only after refusing and forcing the "exchange" to cry publicly about their own gross incompetence for a while. Just giving it back lets them off the hook too easily. Not knowing what the fuck you're doing while handling other people's money should have repercussions.
gross incompetence?The fuck outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 You cannot do anything about it. You fucked up. I am sure BenDavis welcomes you to try and press any kind of charges. Being you publicly admitted the code is the problem. Being that BTC is not legal tender. Being that you live in another country lmfao
see above
3. NOTHING ILLEGAL HAPPENED. An IRREVERSABLE TRANSACTION happened with a transfer of DATA that holds NO VALUE from wallet to wallet. I can have 1 million BTC in my wallet and they are NOT WORTH ANYTHING until I TRADE THEM to an exchange, which THEN recognizes the data as currency. Still does not make it LEGAL currency.
4. The BTC did not gain it's value until they were SOLD. AFTER THE TRANSFER. The transfer from Patrick to BenDavis of 511 BTC indeed, held no value. Value comes when you take the data to an exchange. Hopefully NOT intersango. They obviously do not know how to manage an Exchange.
hmmmm, I'm curious about this. Can anyone acknowledge or confirm the validity of this statement?
