101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ING is being hypocritical about bitcoin on: July 17, 2015, 02:42:02 PM
It seems there is an update from ING:

Quote
A spokesperson for ING Group has clarified its customers are able to buy bitcoin via company bank accounts, despite conflicting statements from one of its social media representatives.

Plus isn't there a limit for newbies to how much they can post in a certain amount of time anyways?

Yes, there is.
The limit isn't only for newbies, because it's based on activity:

Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

In the case someone doesn't understand it, here is a good "translation" of the code above:

Its just activity, see the formula you linked. Its boild down to 3 basic steps:

the first major reduction to 75-30 seconds once your activity is over 14, but still not 60 or higher
the second reduction to 30-27 seconds once your activity is 60 or higher, but still not 100 or higher
the third reduction to 12-4 seconds once your activity is 100 or higher.

Once you reached 500 actitivty you will be stuck at a 4 second limit, which I notice once in a blue moon.

I think that @irfan_pak10, after sorting the column order by clicking on the "Position" arrow, was expecting to see a list of members ordered by their ranking weight.
The fact is that the resulting order is just alphabetical so it can be a bit misleading.

No, but it is my dream.

This is an example of diversity of thoughts . See what kind of dreams people see . Personally I have never been to jail , being to jail means ruining your career .

Jail is good! Free food, free sleep, new sexual experiences! It is better than outside! lol

Well, then your username should have been catch.me.please and not catch.me.if.you.can ...

Sorry but, what is the difference between jail and prison? Aren't these two words synonymous?   Huh

Jail is normally for offenders awaiting trial and those already sentenced but to minimal time. Most jails wont house offenders with sentences over 2-3 years. Prison is for Offenders who have been sentenced to time longer then 2-3 years.

Thank you, now the difference is clear.
I thought that jails and prisons were exactly the same thing with just some of them (no matter if jail or prison) built with an higher security level.

I know my feedback does nothing, so consider it as a bonus. I forgot to leave a feedback for you but you reminded me by opening this thread. Thank you for that!

Well done, I'd have done the same if my feedback had more weight.

It's a bit surprising that only few members — you, hilariousandco and KWH — have recognized here what is IMHO clear enough: a patetic attempt from OP to reset his trust after what he did long time ago.

I hope that Tomatocage will never remove his shining red feedback.

Why that thread has been closed?

EDIT:
Maybe OP closed it, and not the mods, right?

I haven't tried it out myself, but my friend told me if you crop your photo (and save as a new pic) then all the metadata is lost.

It all depends from the software you are using: it may or may not keep the exif in the new file. Sometimes the software could also save additional infos in your new file.
Beside that, often there're settings in the software where you can choose how it must treat these data.
113  Other / Off-topic / Re: Tracking Jpegs on: May 26, 2015, 07:00:44 AM
They are called Exif metadata, and can contain geotagging informations.

About their support, I've just read that only .JPG, .TIF and .WAV files can carry them, while they're unsupported on files like JPEG 2000, PNG or GIF.

Yes, I was getting a lot of 502 Bad Gateway errors too, about an hour ago.
Now it seems it's working well again.
115  Other / Meta / Re: BitcoinTalk hosting decline on: May 26, 2015, 06:27:56 AM
I think you should move this kind of questions in the Meta section (you can move your thread yourself).
Not only because Meta is the more appropriate section, but also because you'll have better chances to get answers from interested people.

I don't know if they offer an easy way to export the data you need. I see a login link on bitcoinwisdom.com, maybe there're additional features for registered users.

Anyway, if you know a bit about concepts like API and JSON, I think you should be able to extrapolate the data you need.

I see that also BitcoinChart offers a Market API:
http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/

In what format do you need to export? A CSV file?
117  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitfinex OHLC 5 min data on: May 11, 2015, 10:14:59 PM
Is this what you are looking for?
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitfinex/btcusd

The chart has many time interval settings and you can select 5 mins too. Hope it helps.

Good analogy, easy to understand.

My only remark is that, against a brute-force attack, Bitcoin should result a bit more secure than those lockers. Smiley

Here is the brute-force attack in this analogy:


Sure, but it works only with those lockers. Fortunately there isn't a tool good enough to brute-force Bitcoin.

Abacus, have you built something like that before? I am trying to find a good source for a cabinet so I can build one for myself.

Nope, but I hope I will a day. It is on my TODO list from long time ago, just not much prioritary.

About the cabinet, I think that a DIY approach could worth a try.
The picture I posted shows a very nice finish of the wood and details like the plexiglass with backlight (the Mame logo), but I think that using some MDF, glue and black paint for the entire cabinet the work will be much easier and faster, even if not as pretty.
