Guest LilBambi Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Police have so far classified the death as "unnatural," which can mean an accident, misadventure, or suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 NO DAMMIT! I'M NEVER GONNA" DIE! NEVER! I'm going to get my brain installed in a T-600 first, and then later, into a more modern version, like the T-1000. I'll be a little more handsome than this guy, of course.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 The thought crossed my mind the other night that hackers ripping off Bitcoin exchanges would eventually screw themselves out of any chance of getting any remuneration for their ill-gotten gains due to the fact that the value of Bitcoins would drop into the cellar with all these collapsing exchanges. So, with that in mind, and being the suspicious type, I think it's the GOV that is crashing these exchanges because they do NOT want anyone using any un-taxable, un-traceable monetary option that they do not themselves regulate and control. What thing ye about them thar donuts, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross549 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Indeed I was somewhat busy. Interesting. Well, I guess the only real recourse is to make a Paper Wallet. Those cannot be hacked, but they can be stolen. http://dogecoinpaperwallet.net/ Although, I think anyone who keeps their coins in an exchangeat this point is being foolish. Withdraw your coins to your own computer! It only takes a few moments to do so! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Agree- with the exception that one substitute "the banks" for 'the gov'n'mnt"...
