Topic: Bitcoin foundation email. What is this supposed to mean ? (Read 858 times)
its a phishing email mate, dont trust it
Saw a few threads recently collecting email address. One saying it pay user who email their Bitcoin address. Another say it pay user to email 'someone' happy birthday.. I'm lucky that I did not send any email. Thus, I did not receive any phishing Bitcoin mail.
Those emails goes to the "sand box" for the cats to play with. 
Do you really think people care about any email send to them from the foundation?
Just click on "delete" and empty your trash folder.... update your spam filter.

I never click links in any "official" emails.
beware with that mail, it may be trying to steal your bitcoins
My pleasure. Please disregard any advice I may have. I'm never right.
thanks gentleman 
I always do what the bitcoin foundation tells me to do.
I'll be gaily clicking on anything they send me.

This is definitely an attempt to infect your computer with coin stealing malware. We know the bitcoin foundation well enough to see they do not send nice emails to bitcoin users and help them with bitcoin issues.

Dear Bitcoin user,
When the New York Department of Financial Services officially announced (pg. 14) its "BitLicense" regulatory proposal in the New York State Register, it said in its legally required statement of needs and benefits:
Extensive research and analysis by the Department of Financial Services ... has made clear the need for a new and comprehensive set of regulations that address the novel aspects and risks of digital currency.
Thus we are asked to update bitcoin transaction methods in order to facilitate more transparent bitcoin transfers. As of end of April bitcoin network WILL NOT support old transfer methods, but worry not this will be a smooth transition.
Please see the instctions how to configure your bitcoin client and full press release
