Just because Bitcoinica was coded by a 17 year old doesn't make it right to accuse its staff of being amateurs.

Re: why is onlyonetv off the air all the time now?

In episode 043, Bruce revealed that he was going to be visiting the Cerulean Tower in Shibuya, where MtGox is headquartered. In this video, he was already well aware that people were outing him on a lot of his past, and a noticeable amount of the Skype footage contained some attempt at character salvation by him. But he also said that he'd try to get as much film out of being in MtGox's presence as possible and that it would take some time for him to do so. Is it possible to get MagicalTux or another rep to weigh in on whether or not Bruce really showed up at or near MtGox office space at the Cerulean Tower?

Part of me really wants to see him attempt to continue as a talking head for Bitcoin. I'm not worried about him running out of funds to continue onlyonetv.com, but rather if he thinks it's possible for him to hide in Japan from the people who know better about his practices. Metropolitan police know how to deal with white collar fugitives.

I appreciate your effort, but Wagner's image here has already been irreversibly decimated. Can any of the content posted here be used as evidence in the suits against him in several States?
At best it can be made known to the courts that these large caches of Bitcoins he possesses/possessed were of intrinsic value and he willingly stalled on exchanging them for USD despite all of the fees and damages he has been expected to pay.

Re: Where to buy domain/hosting the US govt can't seize?

.cc feels scammy to me at a glance.  I like .eu, just don't know a good place to buy the domain and hosting.   Like, where is thepiratebay hosted, or some bitcoin casinos or similar

.co.cc is probably what was being referred to. It's not a TLD in itself, but a South Korean company specializing in free web domains provided under the co.cc TOS. Sites registered with these domains will look like x.co.cc, where x is the domain name you provided at the moment of registration. Sites registered here are also removed from Google search results, which you can use to somewhat augment your privacy.

As for the ideal domain/VPS integration you want to use, you're probably going to keep getting vague answers until people know exactly what you want to use the site for. Unless you're involved in illicit drugs, porn, or plan to have a static repository for copyrighted material, I don't think you have enough reason to be concerned about federal law enforcement touching your online content.

I would say just learn how to host your website through the Tor network, People can still access it via the tor2web out proxy.

His site could be down or unusable for inexcusable amounts of time owing to the heavy traffic transmitted over Tor, just saying. Additionally, any interruption in Tor service on his end would disrupt the site.

He's asking SA to turn their attention elsewhere so that BTC users can be scammed in peace and quiet again.

but... but... what about those poor dollar users that are getting scammed? aren't you guys going to defend them? Are the scammers allowed to scam them quietly because all you care about is the well-being of bitcoin users?

I think that's extremely unfair! There are far more innocent dollar users being scammed than bitcoin users!

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE DOLLAR USERS!  Cry


Did Bold Funding accept Bitcoins?


Bold Funding began in 2004 as a startup between Wagner and a co-founder. By his own admission, it didn't last to anywhere near the time of the first Bitcoin release. That's due to either his incompetence, actual criminal practices committed under the Bold Funding banner, or both.

Would you let a sex offender be the spokesperson for your daycare you are trying to open? 

Lurker breaking my silence. I'm not sure if you noticed it, but running that analogy and comparing the community and interests of Bitcoin to a daycare would have been less accurate just a few days ago before Wagner became a trending topic.
