Compliance is the buzzword of the season for Bitcoin, but on further reflection we have to ask – could regulation compliance weaken Bitcoin?

Plus the story of Thailand banning Bitcoin might be exaggerated, how deflation can help the middle class, and the Kickstarter upset of the week!

  • Xanny comments on Bitcoin Must Comply

  • \”Deflation is a death spiral\” is a statist mantra. The US economy experienced slow but steady deflation during the 19th century – during rapid growth, yet they will never teach you that in school. A little deflation rewards savers and doesn\’t hurt anyone. Inflation rewards central banksters.

Did Thailand really ban Bitcoin?

A Thai Bitcoin exchange has suspended operations after failing to win a license from the country\’s central bank. However, the outfit\’s conclusion — that Bitcoin is illegal in Thailand — smells funny.

At the conclusion of the meeting senior members of the Foreign Exchange Administration and Policy Department advised that due to lack of existing applicable laws, capital controls and the fact that Bitcoin straddles multiple financial facets the following Bitcoin activities are illegal in Thailand:

  • Buying Bitcoins
  • Selling Bitcoins
  • Buying any goods or services in exchange for Bitcoins
  • Selling any goods or services for Bitcoins
  • Sending Bitcoins to anyone located outside of Thailand
  • Receiving Bitcoins from anyone located outside of Thailand

Based on such a broad and encompassing advisement, Bitcoin Co. Ltd. therefore has no choice but to suspend operations until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated to account for the existance of Bitcoin.

Kickstarter pulls “Bitcoin: The Movie”

Andrew Wong, the entrepreneur behind the movie, launched the crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on July 16, and had scheduled the project to run until August 15, with a crowdfunding goal of $100,000. However, late last week, the crowdfunding site unexpectedly suspended the project. When Kickstarter pulled the plug, the movie had $15,896 pledged by 154 backers.

The Berlin district where virtual currency is as easy as cash

BERLIN — A sign above the counter of a popular bar in Berlin\’s hip Kreuzberg district warns customers of owner Joerg Platzer\’s somewhat peculiar payment preferences: \”I believe in honest money — gold, silver and Bitcoin.\”

Platzer\’s Room77 is among a cluster of more than two dozen local businesses to accept the virtual currency for everyday payments. Stickers with Bitcoin symbols on restaurant doors and shop windows guide the way.

Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous and regulation-free

Two anonymous activists have proposed an alternative to Bitcoin, which would fork the protocol to retain more anonymity for users. Labelled \”Bitcoin 2″, the currency would modify the existing bitcoin code to maintain what they call \”the original long-term vision\”, stripping out elements of the protocol that they feel are damaging, and building in support for anonymity protocol Zerocoin.

Bitcoin Pick

Currency — the bills and coins you carry in your wallet and in your bank account — is founded on marketing, on the belief that banks and governments are trustworthy. Now, Paul Kemp-Robertson walks us through a new generation of currency, supported by that same marketing … but on behalf of a private brand. From Nike Sweat Points to bottles of Tide (which are finding an unexpected use in illegal markets), meet the non-bank future of currencies.

Show Notes:

Anonymous says it will go after Mexican Drug Cartel

  • Anonymous claims one of its members was kidnapped at a street protest
  • Anonymous claims it will start releasing details about journalists, taxi drivers, police officers and government officials who are on the Cartel’s payroll, if the kidnap victim is not released by November 5th (Guy Fawkes Day)
  • No information about the person who was allegedly kidnapped has been released
  • Anonymous hopes that releasing this information, the government will be able to pursue the allegedly corrupt officials. However, depending on the type of information, it is unlikely that the evidence provided would be enough to convict someone.
  • There are serious concerns that the release or even the threat of the release of such information could result in a violent backlash from the Cartel.
  • It would seem that anyone who’s name appears on the lists released by anonymous would be in serious danger. A case of mistaken identity or speculation could result in the death of an innocent person.
  • Anonymous has claimed it would attack a number of entities, including the NYSE and Facebook, a large number of these attacks have never taken place, or were unsuccessful and never mentioned again.

Series of spear phishing attacks against chemical and defense companies

  • At least 50 different companies were targeted by attackers attempting to steal research and development documents and other sensitive information.
  • The attacks started in July, and continued through September, it is also believed that the same attackers were targeting NGOs and the auto industry earlier this year.
  • The attacks where spear phishing attacks, a specialized form of the common email attack. Unlike a typical phishing scam, where an attacker poses as your bank and attempts to get you to enter your login credentials and other personal information in to a fake site designed to mimic the look of your banks site, a spear phishing attack specifically targets individuals, using information that is known about them and where they work. Spear Phishing attacks also commonly involve impersonating someone you might expect to receive such an email from.
  • The emails sent in this case often took the form of meeting invitations with infected attachments. In other cases when the messages were broadcast to many victims, they took the form of security bulletins, usually riding on actual vulnerability announcements for common software such as Adobe Reader and Flash Player. It also seems the attackers attached the infected files in 7Zip format, to evade many spam filters and virus scanners that block or scan .zip files. The attackers also took to encrypting the zip files with a password, and providing that password in the email, again to avoid virus scanners on the inbound mail servers.
  • This attackers used PoisonIvy, a common backdoor trojan written by one or more persons who speak Mandarin. The Trojan also contained the address of a Command and Control (C&C) server used to feed it additional instructions.
  • Once the attackers made their way in to the network through one or more infected machines, they leveraged that access to eventually gain permissions to copy sensitive documents and upload them to an external server where they could then be recovered.
  • One of the command and control servers was a VPS operated in the United States, owned by a Chinese individual from Hebei province. Investigators have not been able to determine if this individual was part of the attacks, if anyone else had access to the VPS, or if he was acting on behalf of another group. It is possible the server was compromised, or that it could have been made to look like that was the case.
  • Symantec says that there were a number of different groups attacking these companies during this time span, some using a custom developed backdoor called ‘Sogu’ and using specially crafted .doc and .pdf files. There is no word on if these additional attacks were also successful.

Feedback:

  • Remote Downloads?
  • Q: I have a question regarding downloads, in particular, remote downloads.
  • A: There are a number of options, ranging in capability and ease of use.
  • rTorrent – A command line torrent client, works great over SSH (especially when combined with Screen). This is what Allan uses to seed the Linux Action Show torrents.
  • uTorrent – uTorrent (microTorrent) is available for windows, mac and linux. It offers an optional web UI (the web UI is the only option for linux) for remotely controlling the torrents, and can also automatically start downloading torrents when they are placed in a specified directory. uTorrent also incorporates an RSS reader.
  • wget – is a standard command line downloading tool included in most GNU Linux distros. Also available for windows
  • curl – A library and utility for dealing with http, it is a common feature of most web hosting servers, and easily integrates with PHP. You could write a short PHP script that would download files to the report server when prompted (possibly by an email or access from your mobile phone)
