Re: Can Anyone Send Me Any Fraction of a BTC? I Will Send It Back
and he wants to send you something, how do you make the trade safe?
You can use an escrow service like http://eptiv.com/ to be the middleman in transactions.He probably has a zero balance, so that won't work.
A report about Bitcoin for those that are interested.

Since you blocked the connection at your software firewall level, I'd say they didn't even get to the password stage. There are plenty of people/bots/scripts that scan ranges of addresses for open SSH, VNC, etc. I doubt it was anything targeted at you specifically.
Possibly.
Somebody reported that their bitcoin balance in their client had been stolen and sent to an anonymous address.
I don't remember what thread that was, so don't suggest posting in that thread as some trolling thread cop would.
It occurred to me that it would be possible to steal somebody's balance with a VNC connection to somebody's computer.
I was playing around with TightVNC and had it installed on my computer and running as a server, when somebody from Canada tried to access my computer using their TightVNC client.
What amazed me was they didn't need a password and username.
I think it was a back door in the software.
I blocked the access attempt with my firewall software, and after that, I removed the VNC software.
If the firewall hadn't been in place, who ever it was would have gained access to my computer.
If he had, it would have been a simple matter for him to access my bitcoin client and send my entire balance to his payment address.

CPU mining is a complete waste of time. GPU mining will be a waste of time soon, unless you have tens or hundreds of high-end cards. ASIC is the future, but we're not there yet

Dwolla seems to be a good service but they are really REALLY slow.
I deposited money on the 7th and it did not arrive until the 13th. Plus it takes days to verify an account, and they don't work on weekends, which is kind of outrageous.
