12 hour exponentials about to cross

All that makes no sense

Its Finland, no one will steal his computer in a fancy hotel if they did not know about a huge reward in it
If the funds did not move, you do not announce publicly that they are there, unprotected
Moving BTC to new addresses do not cost "thousands of dollars"

I think this is just a funny way of whoring attention, and telling people how many bitcoins he dreams to have.

BTW, he always said he had 2Kish coins, and super well secured - didn't he?

Google Translate (pretty shitty translation for this language pair, by the way, but better than nothing) gives me the impression that
a) they were defrauded or had their private keys stolen by hotel staff, and
b) rptiela estimates the damage to be in the range of 100k btc (or, as he helpfully points out, about 9M Euro).

Sounds like quite the successful conference, I must say. /snark

I think the probability of staying alive until tomorrow has dramatically increased, as the first 24 hours after the evacuation did not see any violence or threats thereof. Everything else is still uncertain however, but I don't believe that the operative capability of my supernode or the Bitcoin Supernode Network in general have been, will be, or can be endangered. The general comment would be along the lines: "Bitcoin user not affected."

I spent 8 days before the summit in Haikko preparing for it. Then during the 24 hours after it started (opening ceremony was Thursday 14:00, Finland time is used if no otherwise mention), something went seriously wrong so many times that I felt the probability of it having been a coincidence had increased to well above zero.

When I ordered an investigation on the events, I did not have the opportunity of taking adequate care of my summit, my family, my sleeping, my water or my food. After about 40 hours of rather intense events, after which I was fully content to die, since there is nothing in this life that I can think of I would seriously miss (and believe me I can think of things that most of you can not), I had also exhausted my available energy. I did not feel I would have been able to keep my posture for any more time.

So I ordered a general evacuation of the summit and went fully offline for the time between Sunday 13:00 and roughly now. Since I don't have too much stress now, I think I can work approximately 16-18 hours per day indefinitely, provided that I take about 1 day off every 5 days.

Now I try hard to minimize the risk to the well-being of anyone, and to raise the stakes in the game described as follows: if someone actually copied the private keys there (I had access to over 6000 bitcoins unencrypted, open in my computer browser windows during the time it was compromised), he will have to suffer the fact becoming public in its entirety + all the details, if he spends the bitcoins before I have the time to spend them myself. Due to extensive precautions involved, it will take me approximately a week of calendar time + several thousand dollars, to fully ensure that the bitcoins are safe, by sending them to uncompromised addresses. I plan to concentrate on that during this week.

Well I just hope that when they're transferring the 100k elsewhere that they type 1keeweeKuoEj1PJmgeakwHqXF6CETLbN3 in the address field by mistake

Hey guys. I'm new here, and have a question:

Some guy from Sweden (or maybe it was Iceland? I can never keep those countries apart) just sent me a PM. Says he works in the hotel business. He offered to sell me 100k btc for 0.5 USD per coin.

Is that a good price? Should I take him up on his offer?

this has to be some sort of a bad joke.

replikia,  pm me,  otherwise i cant help you,  cause youre on my ignore list

This is too unbeliveable, and in my mind probably FUD..
If no dump comes, than this story was clearly a lame attempt at relevance...

....and if this is true expect a massive dump of 100KBTC - that would takes at $70ish in the best scenario - not even counting the stop loss orders and general panic that would trigger. Man, a 100kBTC market dump could well take us to very low double digits.

If I were the hotel staff, I would dump the coins with a market order just to add insult to injury
