I don't think Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. The evidence was badly faked, and if you communicated off forum with him he could have contacted you to prove it.

I'm intriged, did you personally communicate with him through the two email accounts he's known to have used?

Yesterday blockchain.info showed Satoshi's coins were being moved when all the other block explorers showed they hadn't moved. Somebody must have found a way to tamper with blockchain.info to make it show fake transactions. He might want a few alternatives in case situations like that happen again.

They released a command line based wallet that lacks a large amount of the promised functionality. If they can't make any more money fast then development stops. They call the advanced wallet they have promised serenity. It's not clear yet if they can afford to keep developing until it's completed.

Hey vbuterin. Just curious, do you think there is enough funding to get to serenity? That's my only concern. If there is, I really wouldn't care how much you get paid.

Depends entirely on the ether price. At the optimistic 1 ETH = $1.5 value that others have been throwing around, there is more than enough; at 1 ETH = $0.1, no.

I like this one, but which is the best depends on what you want it for.

If it's only for normal things like checking address balances then it only really depends personal taste. Most block explorers offer that functionality. If you are a programmer who wants to use a block explorers API then it depends on what the API offers and how often you can access it in rapid succession.

The banks in the UK often close people's accounts for being involved in Bitcoin. If the UK plans to become the global bitcoin hub its banks will have to change their attitude to bitcoiners. Most countries banks are hostile to Bitcoin, some are more hostile than the UK banks, but almost none of them seem friendly.

Switzerland's franc jumped by about 30 percent against the euro when the cap of 1.20 francs per euro was stopped. Switzerland is nothing when compared to China's economic muscle. If China gives up it's peg to the USD then there could be a much bigger jump in the RMB than Switzerland's franc had. That would make waves that would reach the Bitcoin price.

You missed the first deadline for filing a claim online, then they extended it to July 28, so you missed the second deadline by about a week. I don't know if the deadline for mailed claims is different. If you get lucky they might extend the deadline for a third time, or they might allow your claim due to mitigating circumstances.

The MtGox trustee has announced that the deadline for filing creditor claims online has been extended to 8:00pm, July 28, 2015 PDT

There's a list of exchanges on reddit that will probably have Ethereum markets after the thaw. Some of those on the list already have markets with only bids, others only promise to have markets after the thaw. Nobody knows exactly when trading will start because the Ethereum devs invented a complicated way of doing it that depends on how fast miners update their software.

Crossposting from Ethereum reddit - if you know of more please add & I'll modify OP
[Confirmed] - Gatecoin (Supports pre-order book)
[Confirmed] - Kraken (Supports pre-order book)
[Confirmed] - Coinsquare.io (Supports pre-order book)
[Confirmed] - Poloniex (Post thaw)
[Confirmed] - Yunbi (Post thaw?)
[NonOfficial] - Cryptsy (Unofficial Mod statement. Post thaw.)
NonOfficial - [Bittrex] (Unofficial statement)

The devs said the thaw depends on how many miners update to the latest code. Each time an updated miner mines a block it speeds up the time to the thaw, but each time a miner who hasn't updated mines a block it slows down the time to the thaw. I expected trading to start this Monday at the latest, and it seems like a stupid system to leave the start of trading to an unspecific time in the future.

In early 2014 it was easier to pick a winner because there were only about 30 altcoins. Now there are thousands it's very difficult to pick a winner. People seem disillusioned with the alt markets, probably because of the blatant manipulation. It's mostly the manipulators making money today, not the speculators.

There's still a pool paying people out. You can read about it in the latest announcement thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446388.1460

They paid out this week to some dime coin miners so it must be still possible to sync. Try contacting the pool and asking them for some nodes. There must be a few nodes left as there are still a few miners left.

Download and sync the mooncoin wallet, click help, then open the debug console and type importprivkey followed by your private key that was emailed to you. Press enter and wait for the wallet to import the key. Afterwards send your coins to a new address because the old one isn't secure as someone else knows your private key.

I had my moon on swisscex and can't seem to get them back now they are closed. Has anyone got their moon coins back off swisscex since the website went offline?

You could post the transaction details in a block explorer link

When is the next installment of the coins due to be distributed?

Illegally produced alcohol can make people ill. Is your alcohol produced legally, or illegally? If it's legal then what are your registered business details?

Which escrow you use is as important as using it. There are escrow with years of providing the service without problems, and other new escrow providers who don't have much of a reputation to lose if they do anything wrong.
