^^^^ These Chechen scum has become a cancer which is rapidly spreading all across the world. Putin should have exterminated them completely during the second Chechen war. Now these parasites are leaching off a large part of the Russian tax revenues, and are engaging in all sort of criminal activities within Russia.
Wait, weren't you guys cheering them on just a little while ago? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2868131/Chechens-loyal-Russia-fight-alongside-east-Ukraine-rebels.htmlAnd how "nazi" IS that right sector, if they had a Jew on their team, and now have a Muslim too? They're pretty bad at being Nazis I think. |

You think being stolen from by your devious competitors, or being murdered and having your property taken, if voluntary?  Of course not; just demonstrating one aspect of a s.c. "free market". Ah, so you're saying that with things like theft and murder, a free market would be no worse than what we have now? What's so unnatural about people using child/slave-labor, to undercut competitors and increase trade/profits.
Slave labor is not voluntary, and thus is not a component of a free market. And there's nothing wrong with letting kids work if they want to. What's wrong with working as a bagger at a grocery, or mopping floors, or making burgers as a kid? It builds character, gives work experience and connections, and gives the child a sense of worth. What's so unnatural about people dumping toxic waste, to undercut competitors and increase trade/profits.
In a free market? Nothing, since that dumping would be on the property the dumper owns, or on the property someone agreed to allow the dumper to dump on and charged them money for it. Better than it is now, when dumpers dump on " public" property. |

https://mytrezor.com down ?  Makes me consider Electrum even more, just not sure about the privacy that way. If you want privacy, use Trezor on Android with Mycelium through Tor. Rassad, so Mycelium servers can see all our tx's and balances, right? The xpub keys don't get sent to Mycelium server. The account gets set up just like a normal Mycelium account, where all the information on it is only on your phone. It just asks you to plug in your Trezor when the wallet app needs to sign a transaction. Mycelium servers do see you broadcasting a transaction (use Tor), and can tell which addresses are yours when you update balances (again, use Tor), but so can any node you connect to with any SPV wallet. At least Mycelium doesn't log any transactions or balance requests, and as far as anyone else on the network knows, your transactions originated from Mycelium servers, not from your phone. |

What's so unnatural about people wanting to voluntarily trade for mutual benefit?
What's so unnatural about people "taking" out competitors, to increase trade/profits - using all sorts of devious & cunning schemes, also termed a free market? What's so unnatural about me killing you and taking "your property"? You think being stolen from by your devious competitors, or being murdered and having your property taken, is voluntary? |

Nice capitalist propaganda. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as, nor can there be, a "free market". We are all bound by the limitations of reality and universal natural laws. What's so unnatural about people wanting to voluntarily trade for mutual benefit? |

The art alone on this one was $600, so no.
I'll go through the history and add the previous endowments to the spreadsheet, and I guess go through my Bitcoin100 emails and see who we can add to verify here. I'm pretty sure we can find 30 more, pay them out, and get this over with.
BTW, I have had multiple requests from Sean's Outpost for help. Jason King has had to move to DC for a bit to be with his kids, and as a result hasn't been able to fundraise as much, and bills for that charity are piling up. Anyone have any objections to breaking the rules once (on donating to charities new to Bitcoin) and sending an endowment his way too?

To add to that, the Bitcoin network doesn't care what address you send money to. It doesn't bother verifying if the address is legitimate or exist. The only thing it cares about is that the address you are sending from has a matching signature made by the private key. So when you send to paper, it doesn't care, but when you spend from paper, that's when you use the private key on that paper, and is the only time it cares.

Do you ship to Canada?
And I will like to understand a little bit more entropy. I know its to make paper wallet but how can you create a wallet offline? Not sure to totally understand.
Thanks
The little USB device is actually a computer, with a processor, memory, and storage. When you plug it into a printer's USB port (the one used to print photos off of), the computer powers up, grabs a bunch of sources of entropy to create a HUGE random number, then uses that number to generate a private key and bitcoin address. Then it created a JPG image with that key and address on it, along with QR codes, and presents itself as a plain USB drive with a photo on it. Your printer detects a photo, and asks if you want to print. After you print the paper wallet and pull the Entropy out, its memory is cleared and that JPG with your wallet is gone for ever. Only your paper copy remains. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mycelium-entropy#/story |

Russia rattles saber. Old rusty chunks fall out. Oops! http://theweek.com/articles/565028/russian-air-force-falling-skyThe Russian Air Force is falling out of the sky Kyle Mizokami  July 10, 2015 The flights began last year. The government of Russian President Vladimir Putin, eager to send a message, began flying nuclear bombers on training missions near the United States and its allies around the world. The message was one of intimidation and defiance: Russia is still a power to be reckoned with, and meddling in the Ukraine, Syria, and Russia itself — particularly on human rights issues — is not appreciated. Now, after months of aggressive flying, Russia's overworked air force is falling out of the sky. On July 5, a Su-24M tactical bomber crashed during takeoff at Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. The plane banked sharply after takeoff and hit the ground. Both pilots were killed. Five Russian combat planes have crashed in the past month. Russia's attempt to demonstrate strength has backfired spectacularly and demonstrated weakness instead. In the past year, Russia has sent nuclear bombers to the borders of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, and Japan. In May, a pair of Su-24 bombers made a low pass over the destroyer USS Ross in the Black Sea, and Russian fighters have demonstrated "reckless" and "unprofessional" behavior near American spy planes over the Baltic Sea, prompting protests from the Pentagon. Russia's Air Force has been run at a high tempo, and the pace is catching up with an already-weary aircraft fleet. The toll in just the last month has been extraordinary: In addition to the fatal Su-24M accident, two MiG-29 fighters have crashed. Less than three hours after the second MiG crash, a Su-34 strike fighter flipped over while landing and went down south of Moscow. On Monday July 6th, a Tu-95 strategic bomber suffered an engine fire and overshot the landing strip at Ukrainka Airbase in the Russian Far East, where flights against Japan and the Western United States are conducted. Both pilots were killed. President Vladimir Putin has decided to mount frequent shows of force to remind other countries of Russia's military power. Unfortunately for him, all of Russia's options for a show of force are dicey. Russia's military suffered from neglect during the 1990s and early 2000s, the result of a weak economy that was unable to properly fund the armed forces. Armored vehicles, ships, and planes were inadequately serviced, and even fell into disrepair. The Russian Army, being what it is, can't mount an effective show of force beyond the country's borders. The Russian Navy can't send its remaining aircraft carrier and cruisers abroad without a oceangoing tugboat shadowing them — in case one of the ships breaks down. That leaves the Russian Air Force. The vast majority of Russia's Air Force was built and operated by the Soviet Union, making the youngest of these planes 24 years old. The Tu-95 "Bear", MiG-29 "Fulcrum," and Su-24 "Fencer" fighters and bombers that crashed in the last month were all inherited from the Soviet Union. Compounding the problem is the inability to replace older aircraft with new models. Since the end of the Cold War the United States has introduced the all-new F-22 Raptor and is on the verge of introducing the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Russia on the other hand has not introduced a new fighter design in 30 years. Russia's latest fighters, the Su-35 air superiority fighter and the Su-34 strike fighter, are updated designs dating to the late 1970s. Russia recently announced an aggressive program to modernize its armed forces, and pledged to spend $400 billion on new armaments. But already the program is in trouble, as sanctions over the war in Ukraine, a ban on military sales to Russia, and declining oil prices have sapped the modernization effort. Russia recently cut its initial buy of the new PAK-FA fighter, it's first stealthy, so-called "fifth generation" design, from 52 to a mere 12. The troubled aircraft program is suffering from technical difficulties and cost overruns. Russia will likely buy more fighters down the road, but it's an example of the problems Moscow faces in procuring new equipment. Moscow is caught between a rock and a hard place. Russia can no longer rely on older equipment to project an image of strength and power. But increasingly it cannot afford to replace that equipment with modern designs the equal of American and Western equipment. Four airmen serving their country have died, a tragedy regardless of nationality. But the upshot of this recent spate of crashes may be a more realistic view of Russian power by those wielding it. The Russian military is simply not ready for war — or even saber rattling. |

Well, we are getting close to 2015.75, and I'm getting excited!  I hope all those promises that were given here come true! |

Why did Russia give Ukraine a bunch of their tanks within the last decade, only for Donetsk Republican Army to steal them later?
i.e. why is Donetsk riding around on Russian tanks?

Also had this guy pre-approved from a while ago Hi Rassah. Just following up again. NCDXF was approved back in August, I believe. It took a while, but we finally got bitcoin donations up and running on our web site several months ago ( http://ncdxf.org/pages/contribute.html). We've been publicizing it in our newsletter, as well as Twitter, Facebook, etc., and we have already enjoyed several donations as a result. Can you please list us on the Bitcoin 100 site now, and send the $1000 donation? Thanks again for all your support! Regards, Tim so $1000 donation sent as well https://blockchain.info/tx/f6920a012dc09ee155a7afc8ab59ce93436eaff3387994bda182ce59f6cf899d |

Oh dear god, I'm back. Godamn I let this one slide  (what, one year hiatus, almost) I decided to make things simpler for myself. Since it's not like we're going to be audited, and everything is public on the blockchain anyway (and I assume Roger Ver doesn't want any part of his Bitcoin donation back), I just moved all the Bitcoin100 related funds into the main BTC100 address, and instead of doing the time consuming accounting of tracking every transaction, every received amount, and every donation in accounting software, will just let it accumulate and do whatever, while I only worry about sending out funds and tracking who was paid. The link to the spreadsheet listing charities is here btw https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bafU08cYWIxF8gV_ZJf74EybOh8ykK7NTVh5dP6Ps2w/edit?usp=sharingI am not sure if BTC100 is still active at all.
Bruno inherited it to Rassah, and I didn't hear anything from Rassah in a while.
At least one charity, Rockzipfel, is still waiting for their BTC100 donation, for quite a while.
These guys weren't paid before because they didn't have a bitcoin address at the time. Now, MUUUUUUUCH later, they do, so payment sent https://blockchain.info/tx/0e4f828b64d980ea641a6e072557a0965678ec0a62c4bd1659d2fa2fa664822fAnyone else with access to the funds?
FYI, if anything happens to me, Roger Ver is a backup for the funds. P.S. Still have the coffee table in tow |

The Donetsk Republican Army pulled over 40 tanks and 80 armed transports from the front line,
Wait, what? Where did the completely independent and totally not being helped by Russia trust us Donetsk get 40 tanks and 80 armed transports?! |

You can't generate new addresses because the standard doesn't allow for that. The scan ahead is 20 addresses. We could probably add that feature, but would still have to restrict you to 20 addresses tops (and if you have 20 empty ones every few addresses, it will slow your balance synchronization down). One thing you can do is give someone an address, then create a transaction where you send some money to yourself, which would create a new address, and repeat this for as many addresses as you need. It would just cost you a transaction fee (pick Economic).

Mycelium has released its next version of the Bitcoin wallet for android (currently in a staged rollout). New features include:
* Integration with Cashila to enable SEPA-Payments. This allows you to send Euro payments to any IBAN account via bitcoin directly from your Mycelium wallet (an account on cashila.com is needed to pair the device).
* Support for BIP70 Merchant Protocol and payment requests. This allows you to sign a transaction and send it directly to the merchant for review before they broadcast it, as well as use certificates (like those used in secure HTTPS connections) to verify you are paying the right person.
* BitID authentication is finally out! This feature has been in code for a very long time now, but we haven't activated it because there was never a standard for it. We collaborated with Trezor after adding support for their devices, and settled on a standard we both use. Now that one of the most popular wallets supports it, websites can finally start adding support for BitID logins.
* Deterministic signatures for Bitcoin transactions (RFC6979). This should reduce any issues that could come up from relying on bad random generators that wallets have had issues with over then years.
* Minor UI changes for the PIN entry
* Option to remove queued outgoing transactions that were created while offline before broadcasting
* Allow spending of unconfirmed funds
Please let us know if you run into any issues. In the mean time, we will be working on finishing up Locks and Ledger integration, and start adding more privacy enhancing features since we definitely have some strong competitors now.
