Can't help with much but what i can say is yes there is info stored in the wallet.  To that end, i would suggest that you also need to study and identify the difference between a hot wallet vs an offline wallet or cold storage and it's implication on security.

Having lived in third world country and seen what corruption looks like, this discussion while enlightening, misses a very visceral component.  The poor people involved in these situations have very little in the way of improving their station.  Even with this blatant inequality government is still a necessity.

Also, it was stated that lower mammals, insects, lizards, etc. know how to establish a balance naturally.  That isn't exactly true.  There is natural order to things including a food chain.  These animals are kept in check by natural predators.  If left unchecked they will cause an imbalance in the ecosystem and the correction will be severe. 

The state has had to bust up monopolies before.  ATT owned all of the infrastructure that our telecommunications traffic traversed in the United States.  If the government had not stepped in and broken them up there would have been no incentive for them to do so and how could anyone enter the market after that?  Of course they had a "government contract" after WWII to provide POTS to everyone in the country but that's only because they were already covering 95% of it.

And a long standing tradition that makes people comfortable doing what they have always done.

Define long standing tradition; modern money hasn't been around for all that long.  Then again, neither has America, even tho it feels like both have been around forever.

Long standing as in cash money has been around for centuries and bit coin/electronic forms of currency have only been around for decades.  i own a staffing agency, and i find it truly amazing how many people still want paper checks and will run to a liquor store or check cashing facility to turn them into cash.

There were a couple of buys worth close to $1M, the exchange rate is up $3 USD in the past 24 hours, $112 to $115, and this somehow broke your down trendline?  It would also have to hit $130 by Wednesday to stay above your line.  That's an expectation of phenomenal growth, and failure to adhere to this growth doesn't seem ominous to me, it seems healthy.

And while I'm at it, what I don't get about TA is the insistence on straight lines, y=mx+b, rather than parabolas of some kind.  The price of bitcoin has been an almost perfect graph of damped oscillations, like this:
http://beltoforion.de/pendulum_revisited/Damped_oscillation_graph2.png

... which is a sinusoidal curve, bracketed by curves, yet all the TAs apparently use straight lines.  Perhaps straight lines are used because they're easy to draw?


Probably because slope intercept is much more prominent in standard chart analysis.  I see a lot of sinusoidal curves in penny stock...

Also, just as an FYI, i do network security in a completely different sector, but the attacks are usually the same.  The "sneak forwarding" is a common targeted attack.

I cross-checked my mailbox setup and no forwarding is configured here. For now I fully blame OVH for this issue.

Interesting analysis.  Is it possible that the algo for the OTP is "known" ?  So the attacker would simply have to know what the next OTP password is once it's been submitted?

I'd guess he is using a vasco or rsa token with appropriate key size...

Nothing so elaborate.  You'd be amazed at the power that an administrator can wield.  Your server security is only as strong as those that have physical access to them honoring their word.  Occam's razor applies greatly when it comes to hacking.

You are absolutely right. The point was merely there is no need to predict the next OTP. Especially with Trudy having physical access.

Exactly.  Not to get to far off topic, but just today i was asked to "hack" into a windows 2003 exchange server for a mew customer that was wanting to get rid of his now previous third party IT provider without asking for the admin passwords.  I was able to gain access within an hour with physical access.  Hopefully when you move Slush, it will be to a much more neutral site with stricter internal protocols...  working on the assumption that this was an internal job and that the move should solve the problem.

Re: Do Bitcoins need something REAL to back them?

Backing fiat money with bitcoin (or gold or anything else) would convert the fiat money into an honest money substitute (and no longer fiat) again. Fiat money is "money by decree". It is in a very real sense fake. The only things which gives it value are the cultural memory of "dollar-ness" coupled with the legal tender laws which make it illegal to issue private competing currency.

Bitcoin has most of the properties necessary to make it money. If and when it is widely considered to be money, then it could conceivably be "kept" in a safe place (e.g. the distributed network in which it currently exists) as backing for some unspecified, more transportable surrogate. In the heyday of private and state banking, the checks cross-written against groups of banks were cleared every day at a clearing house. The differences at the end of the clearing calculations were then settled between the banks by physical gold transfers. This was done continually all over the world in a local, regional, national layered fashion with the final clearing done in London. Only the interbank differences were settled in gold.

The days of the gold standard did not mean that everybody carried gold around in their pockets. It only meant that their "paper money" was fully backed by gold. And "at the end of the day", all accounts were settled. It worked beautifully. This may be a good model to think about with respect to Bitcoins. We don't all have to deal directly with Bitcoins, as long as the accounts are settled in Bitcoin periodically. This leaves us free to invent an honest bitcoin substitute that may be more convenient to use, but is backed by Bitcoin (like gold used to back bank drafts).





The problem with that is the same as whast the creator of the liberty dollar came up against; when you create currency to be used to pay debts, the government tends to frown upon that. As long as bit coin stays in the realm of the virtual, I believe it will be able to survive long enough to gain the traction it needs to survive the direct pressure a government can bring to bear. Plus with it being internationally traded as long as one coumtry gives it Safe harbor if it comes under regulation we should see a long term sustainable sitation.

"The bitcoin is backed by math argument" is kinda silly if you ask me. It´s backed by people who belive in it, but it have no other use than a medium of exchange, therefor it will fail.. In the long run, or short run. It could even be tommorow who knows. The problem is that the source code of bitcoin can be copied to infinity and create infinite new eCoins, you cant do that with physical things like gold.
You can also do something else with physical things like gold rather than use it as a medium of exchange, you cant do that with bitcoin.

What can you personaly do with gold besides trade it for money? The answer for someone without a smelter is not much. Most money today is fiat currency and backed by the economy it represnts. In other words currency is moving in the bit coin direction.

I currently own a staffing agency. We handle long term and short term contracts. Currently entertaining the idea of accepting bit coin as payment as well as paying employees that want to be paid in bit coins.  We staff medical and programmers nationally, skilled and unskilled labor locally in the GA/FL markets. Any ideas?
