Almost one month gone after KNC became platinum member of TBF.
Anyone got the tx id?
Phinnaeus Gage??

Nope! I'm still waiting for TBF to send me the announcement that there's an election coming up. They had no problem emailing be a couple days after I created a fake account with all fake info, kindly asking when I'm going to send my $25 membership fee.

Taxing my memory, Matthew N. Wright used to do something similar. I know of the practice, but the process eludes me.
I read about that yes. I know how they work and they are quite easy to make. I could write up a tracking pixel in five minutes, but why should I? I don't see the purpose of capturing someone's IP. It's not possible to get data from cookies using a tracking pixel (AFAIK) so I don't see how they can be useful.

Say you wanted to know where somebody is truly located. You send them a PM having such as the content, for only they most likely would be the one opening it up. I believe MNW tried that with theymos or some other. That's the first I even learnt that such a thingie existed. I assumed that practice was nixed somehow on this forum, but I guess I'm mistaken. Nothing another $350K doled out for the forum upgrade can't fix, I guess.

What the hell is going on here?

It doesn't exist. I've been parsing the blockchain using a variant of John Ratcliffs command line parsing tool looking for transactions in excess of 20,000,000,000 for 4 days limited to the last 6 weeks. There is nothing pointing to TBF. It's too bad Bitcoin only uses block header time stamps. Transaction time stamps would have been much more useful. Transactions can be a lot older than the block time. TBF is lying unless it was paid in fiat which goes against their rules unless they changed the rules. According to their charter they have the ability to change the rules without going to the general membership. I'm confused why anyone at this point would choose to be a member of TBF.

To read the latest issue of Team Beat on the table in the lobby while in queue to have an audience with the Godfather of Bitcoin, Brock Pierce. BTW, most of Brock's cronies have yet to be a member of TBF, including Michael Terpin. How fucked up is that? At least start a Kickstarter campaign to muster up the twenty-five bucks needed if short on funds.

Wow! Probably, the strangest thing I'll read today:

What you see is Apocalypse sort of using his powers to manipulate the Pyramids. And in the shot, you can see The Four Horseman sort of in shadow, or silhouette. Now, when we make the movie, it will not take place in ancient times. We went back and forth a lot on… what that scene should be. Bryan and I just locked into this idea of seeing Apocalypse at the height of his power and glory, which is what we imagined would have been in Egyptian times. It was just to give a tease of, ‘This guy is super-powerful, and there was a moment in time when he was essentially treated as a god, and he’s going to rise again in X-Men: Apocalypse.’"

Now, that's some allegory to get your head wrapped around unless, of course, some dude named Plato (thought you'd like that) has you chained to wall in a cave...

I get that, but I don't really see the practical use of that. Other than illegal activities. I'm just glad that my real IP points to a location where I don't live. And that it doesn't matter if I am with my GF or at home.

Anyway, I really hope that the forum upgrade is a great update. I still have my doubts about it, but oh well, not much that I or the whole community can do about it.

Just for info: There is an image proxy, so tracking data/IPs and even CSRFs attacks against others sites are not possible (anymore) through the image function of the forum.

TF's reasons for using these images is being discusses in this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/using-offsite-images-instead-of-posting-as-text-623521

TradeFortress:  I am curious about something here.  In post #107 your response is an embedded image.  Why is that?
Fucking TradeFuckFace. Must be some kind of tracing image. God, I hate those so freaking much.
Remember the last time that happened?

EDIT: I even commented in that second linked thread, Justin. Thanks for the input, bud.

PG, why are you so good at stirring up the feelings of the people who've never heard of you on this forum?

^ did you bother reading anything besides the headline?
Come on, the joke is revealed (and justified) only on page 2 of the thread.

Thumbs up for those who were so shocked at the original post that they felt the urge to reply right away.



And thanks to most of them, for they truly seem to be allies.

You gave these idiots $100k? You really do belong with them Gauge

Sure did! And I bought 42 Monarchs, going to pay off Matthew N. Wright's bets, become a mod of this forum, and buying ONLY ONE from Bruce Wagner, then I'm going to Disney to get my dick sucked by some dude named Goofy.

Feel free to reply to this post once you finish reading the rest of this tread.

Apologies if this comes across as a diss post, but you aren't the first, and probably not the last to comment prior to reading further, something - reading - should be part of anybody's due diligence before taking anything as gospel, especially when it comes to the circus arts surrounding its lead clown - Brock Pierce.
