Bitcoin discussion and news

I don't have to read them to tell you its complete Fuck all tbh.

Hi Grit,

It's unfortunate you feel dissatisfied with the previous post. I appreciate the reasoning wasn't sufficiently clear for you to understand. Let me explain further...

If a government decided to 'clamp down' on Bitcoins they would be greatly troubled by the tor network. It would take much work to find out who was hosting what and where and how it was being accessed.

I hope this helps but if you have any further queries please to not hesitate to contact us here at the department of the hard of thinking.

Best regards,

RingDing esq.

Cheers, I dont get it though:(

I think there may be a bug in your logic, if I'm wrong I'll eat humble pie. Just saying....
 
In short if they cannae shut down the likes of Silk Road they won't be able to shut down bitcoins.

I see what you mean but they are separate. I think tor is a protocol that sits on top of the tcp/ip stack, its just a transport layer, the bitcoin itself it 'user data'. Its been a while since I had to think about this tbh (which is good....)

EDIT:

I dont have a working knowledge of these technologies, but I am an ex coder and have done socket programing and whatnot :(
 
Ooops!:D

The virtual currency has been making waves since 2009, but the financial crisis in Cyprus has seen people rushing to invest. Are these encrypted files really the future of cash? - Independent

"City traders have mixed feelings," says mischievous City Boy author Geraint Anderson. "On the one hand they'll be quaking in their boots about a rapidly-growing currency they currently can't manipulate, trade or make commission from. On the other, they'll welcome any innovation that will facilitate the acquisition of high-quality cocaine after the market shuts."
 
I find it odd the amount of blind faith some people put in tor and its node operators. No authority really bothers with it that much because they know anyone serious is going to use other methods to secure their communications

Whether you have anonymity or privacy isn't relevant in this context; all you need is access. If the government blocked mtgox.com, you could still access it with tor, your privacy would be assured by https, and the (possible) lack of anonymity doesn't matter.

got to admire your faith in a governments inability to take a domain down there bubba... (say in a southern American drawl) also don't rely on vpns and ssl to protect your anonymity if you are being very very naughty. make the watch list of a major intel service and they will track you down.

normal types will be fine though
 
Hmm I love coders For like all things relating to the OSI model yes TOR is in layer 7 the application layer like all applications and it uses an ipsec transmission and has distinct headers which can reveal its use and it can be easily blocked but they keep changing this so
It can flow again under an IPS/IDS inspection
Just want to clear that up I have a bug bear about it .. Also TCP is a transmission protocol layer 4 upon which IP layer 3 is on top of this hence TCP transmission communication protocol ...pet hate TCP/IP statements
 
What this has to do with Bitcoin ...nothing...is Tor only for use as a method to buy drugs...depends..

Interesting discussion from the creators its alarming that popular only views from headline grabbing reactionary newspaper quotes is being lapped up as the truth a bit like free use of the internet shouldn't be tolerated ...for the sake of the children to protect them from legions of those whom want to abuse them...so lets restrict it..
 
Yeah there is mischief afoot. However if you see the pattern then you can profit. I waited for the regular dip/crash and bought at 119. It's now bounced back to 140.

The market will pick up a bit today, go quiet for the weekend and rise again on Tuesday, if the usual pattern recurs.

This is a slightly different take on it from the BBC

The attacks could be the work of malicious hackers who were trying to "game" the exchange and manipulate the value of Bitcoins so they could cash in, MTGox said in an interview with ComputerWorld. Attackers are thought to be working to a cycle in which they sell Bitcoins when values are high, then mount an attack that forces prices to crash, buy up the cheaper coins and then let the value climb again.

Yesterday's Guardian article on btc has to be one of the laziest and crappiest articles ever written.
