Bitstamp back! by Nous322bc in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The user of course doesn't. Coins are moved to the cold wallet which is 2 of 2 Bitstamp.

Hot wallet is 2 of 3, 1 bitstamp Web, 1 bitstamp backup, 1 bit go.

When you place an order or a trade is executed, no Bitcoins are moved. Only accounting ledgers are updated.

Yeah, two hacks (2011, 2013) and one withdrawal exploit.

Gamersgate haven't heard from its clients about bitcoin "since Mt.gox incident", "people are now more aware of its dangers" by COHthebestRTS in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Gamersgate is not 'sexual harassment' of female gamers. It is about exposing corruption in video game journalism. Just because some harassment was associated with Gamersgate does not change the message.

Would you say Bitcoin is synonymous with purchasing child porn? If not, don't call Gamersgate that.

That's not really about the image of Bitcoin, but rather people clicking on 'Donate with Bitcoin' and getting sidetracked.

Looking before the Scaling Up Leap - by Gavin Andresen by bubbasparse in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The web isn't decentralized. It's distributed.

Are you proposing that we get rid of decentralization of Bitcoin by unreasonably limiting the amount of people that can run nodes which can verify transactions? 6000 nodes isn't tiny enough?

No way. I am in Australia and I can only get 300 kb/s on a good day connecting to overseas hosts,with 15 kb/s upload.

Bitcoin is not going to be successful if only a subset of internet users can run a full node.

Bitstamp Claims Roughly 19,000 BTC Lost in Hot Wallet Hack by macsubhine in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BTCe has been hacked like 4 times and they have covered it 100% with almost zero downtime. They are the most reliable and secure exchange by their track record. Just because their owners are anonymous doesn't mean shit - actions speak louder than words.

Did you ever use a public proxy? Hope not.. by geek_at in netsec

[–]goldcakes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's nice, but you miss the point. The idea is to poison the JS cache.

Actually, good point. Transparency wise, ISIS beats all other governments or self-asserted governments out of the water. Their various twitter feeds are incredibly informative and aren't fluff.

I'm talking about how 20% of Stellar will be distributed to bitcoin holders if you sign a message.

TIL Dust costs 5 mana... by zac2806 in DotA2

I've had it happen, item is consumed but the dust didn't go off. If you think about it, the man is deducted first before the effect is activated.

You forget how they must use an actual currency with spread in order to leverage the spread.

The Curious case of Steam Support (x-post from /r/PCgaming) by OneAnimeBatman in Games

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because a game 'exploded' doesn't mean a game has been made better. It has been made mass market and monetized more, but it's a worse game overall.

The game has been filled with advertisements and billboards for skins, stickers, badges, operations, and other crap with no relevance to the game at all.

It's just like how they ruined TF2 with the mann co store.
