There are also the 1000+ pump and dump bitcoin clones, most of which still have a couple of true believers waiting for their coin to take off. It's sad in a way. Garza's brother getting interviewed by the sec and answering every question with the same sentence: “I’m very frightened, I don’t understand this type of law. I want to help in any way I can, but I’d have to have an attorney present, and this time I can’t afford one” Cryptsy running all their different coins on the same machine and one of them having an irc backdoor, getting all their money "stolen" and then continuing for another year and a half.

This is a totally typical naive libertarian thing to do, too. I completely believe them when they say that they were hoping they'd be able to use profits to refill customer wallets with nobody noticing, it's a completely innocent and childlike thing to do. It also wouldn't surprise me if they wound up getting robbed several more times in that year and a half period Come to think of it, the childish behavior of libertarians is probably why so many of them are pedophiles; they're just looking for an intellectual equal

Ryoshi posted:This guy was outed by 3 Olives, right? The OneTV channel ran out of Bruce's New York Condo which featured the camera displaying it's demo functions for the first few episodes and soon became blacklisted by every take-away store in New York as everyone prank called in food and vibrated his phone off the sofa. Another insane Bitcoiner story was one guy who was trading off his wallet on a USB key via a meet in a carpark. Fearing some other bystanders there would mug him for his stick he takes the drastic course and swallowed it. His meet never showed up and the bystanders couldn't care less about a figity nerd. Cue sometime later and the guy is chasing that stick down with laxatives while desperately posting about how long it would take to poo poo out and has he lost all of his coins? Oh and the rigs. The gradual evolution of milk-crates in the snow, elaborate racks cooled by Wal-Mart fans and moving up to USB sticks shoved in jars of oil or cheap Chinese brought arrays that would burn out. And everything strung together in the most ghetto way imaginable, all the while drawing enough power to start melting wiring and blowing fuses.

Liquid cooling is what all the serious people do to make things work faster right? So if I take this USB miner that's getting super hot and dunk it in a mason jar of oil then everything will be perfect. Bitcoin: Cargo Cult Physics

Maybe if they could use the waste heat to spin a turbine which would generate electricity which could be used to power fans to cool the miners...

People buy IP cameras to keep an eye on kids or elderly relatives and don't bother to secure them because security is hard and makes things inconvenient. I can understand Joe Schmoe not being able to setup a VPN, but not even setting a basic password on the grandma cam is pretty lazy. Even scarier is when people scan IP addresses and find things like unsecured telnet access to industrial power equipment.
