He announced Crypto.pm, an upcoming cryptocurrency exchange. He designed a variety of fake screenshots, faked statistical for a "600,000 trades per second" trading engine, and other fabrications.

He sought investments in Crypto.pm and raised over 500 BTC for 50% (iirc) of the company. After raising the investment, he stopped logging onto Bitcointalk, and stopped communicating. He later claimed he was in the hospital, mom died, etc etc.

We found out he's Ryan Kennedy.

Ryan Kennedy, you owe me 150 BTC that you have scammed as 'Lemon' on Bitcointalk in 2013.

I have already filed a police report in my country, and the officer handling this case has assured me that he will treat it with the highest priority possible given the amount involved. I trust you will be hearing from your local law enforcement soon.

Senate Bitcoin inquiry to address ' impossible ' ATO ruling by j2dafa in australia

The government not classifying something as currency, does not make it not a currency.

Bitcoin meets all properties of a currency, and is used as a currency. Therefore, it is a currency.

The ATO ruling is due to a technicality in an ancient law.

Bitcoin has all properties of a currency, and it is used as a currency. That means it makes sense for it to be classified as a currency.

yet some don't flinch when paying the likes of Google, Apple, etc 30% to host some software

That's because Bitcoin is a currency. You can't pay 30% more when converting from USD to EUR.

Just like Travelex is selling a product when you exchange AUD to USD. Oh wait.

GST on a currency is nonsensical, and it's not going to stop Bitcoin a single bit. It's just going to kill Australia Bitcoin startups, while Circle (US) is experiencing triple-digit growth.

Running full node on Google Compute Engine. Now what? by dskloet in Bitcoin

It adds a cost. A hosting company that decides to pwn 100 nodes will lose something like $1000 a month, plus lose a lot of reputation.

Better than nothing.

They're phasing out the drop system, that's what I'm thinking.

Ryan Kennedy is a long time scammer who has scammed me for 150 btc in 2013.

File a police report. I did on Friday. I'm from Germany and my police can't do much, but passed it to Ryan's authorities.

You scammed me 150 BTC with crypto.pm. Send it back or I will file a police report.

Theymos has confirmed that he will give up your IP with a subpoena, and you are not getting away with this. You made THIS deal personally, you do not have a company to hide behind.

No. Ryan Gentle has scammed me over 150 BTC as Lemon in Crypto.pm's investment, and scammed more than 500 BTC in total as Lemon.

That's where it came from.

Then why did you delete the Alex Green = Crypto.pm scam thread? Top few at /r/Bitcoin.

You're not hiding moolah's troubles, but you are deleting all concrete evidence that Ryan Gentle is a well known scammer.

It's about indoctrination, not about helping children.

No, it wouldn't. The number of transactions is not an accurate volume of transaction volume simply because a pool may include any number of transactions in a block, including 10,000 dummy transactions that sends coins from A to B to C to D to .... ZZZZZ.

Satoshi designed the mining algorithm to be fluctating. Satoshi designed the 21 million limit.

The 1 MB is a resource of Bitcoin, just like 21 million BTC. While most agree that at the moment 2 MB or so would be fine, however it is not a limit that is meant to fluctuate. It is supposed to cap the number of transactions.

No MMR change if you won and played through till the end.

Edward Snowden: "You're not patriotic, just because you back whoever is in power today. You're not patriotic because you back their policies.

Brazilian senators have asked for Snowden's help during hearings about the NSA programme's aggressive targeting of Brazil,

So Snowden is willing to testify in Brazil's senate over the crimes the NSA has been committing. I fail to see the problem here. It's not like Snowden was offering to help Brazil spy on the US.

Snowden delegated the responsibility of vetting to the media sources. He has no involvement in what was published, and he cannot be responsible for what was published. Of course, he enabled those documents to be published, but that's different from being responsible for what was published.
