Its allways the same, either you have time or you have space. You need less time if you have more space, as its with rainbow tables. Still in my book a table is still something that was precalculated and does no calculation whatsoever.
So let's say you have a machine that has two wheels that can each be set for a number from zero to ten. You push a button, and an LED display lights up with the sum of those two numbers. Do you have to look inside the machine to tell if it's calculating or not?

Yes. I dont want to go further into this because I feel every example either of us can give just confuses how a computer actually works.

Thats what we are talking about after all. RAM as in the memory unit of a von Neumann machine. Almost every computer today is von Neumann architecture. A von Neumann machine is made of: the memory unit, the control unit, the logic unit (or arithmetic logic unit). As well as input and output, which does not matter here. The control unit fetches the commands and data from the memory unit and feeds them into the logic unit, which writes a result into the memory unit.
Where is the calculation of the memory unit? Its just a place where data (and commands) come in and out.

So every adress contains 2^96 public keys and also 2^96 private keys?

Doesn't this reduce the difficulty to bruteforce an adress?

That's like saying if I tell you that a molecule of water is located in the pacific ocean, that reduces the difficulty of finding it.

Pacific ocean vs. 2^96... lets see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean#Water_characteristics

"The volume of the Pacific Ocean, representing about 50.1 percent of the world's oceanic water, has been estimated at some 714 million cubic kilometers."

714.000.000 km^3 water vs. 79.228.162.514.264.337.593.543.950.336 (since my OS is in german think of . as , and of , as .)

With ~3*10^25 water particles in 1 liter and 1 liter = 0,001 m^3

We have 714* 10^6 * 10^12 (km^3 to liter) * 3*10^25 = 714*3 * 10^(6+12+25) = 2.142 * 10^43 water molecules. While 2^96 = approx. 7,9 * 10^28.

Hmm if we take 1 liter... that would be 7,14 * 10^20.... so 1/10^8 th of a liter, thats 1/10^2 µl or 0,01 mm^3 thats a fraction of a drop of water (~ 1/20 ml). Still hard to find Wink

PS: If some of the calculations are wrong, sorry. I checked everything twice, but due to the nature of large numbers and switching units there might be slips of the keyboard Wink

Well if you consider looking up a calculation, than a phone book does a calculation for you.
No, because a phone book doesn't actually look anything up, RAM does.

Well that sounds like a philosophical question, but afaik the aritmetic unit does the look up, not the memory unit.

Quote
Yet, unless someone allready knows which person has which phonenumber there is no such book.
By that logic, CPUs don't calculate because they don't know how to do anything until they're instructed to do things.

No, a CPU does a calculation because it changes the input according to a cerrain pattern (given by the instructionset) to from a "new" output. It does not need to "know" that 1 + 1 = 10 it just calculates that every time. The way a CPU is build is fundementally different from a lookup table.

If you want to make a big table for all possible future blocks. Be my guest.
That's the problem. The limited calculation that RAM can do is only useful for real-world crypto problems with amounts of RAM that wouldn't fit in any known universe. (Perhaps unknown ones are larger?)

Its allways the same, either you have time or you have space. You need less time if you have more space, as its with rainbow tables. Still in my book a table is still something that was precalculated and does no calculation whatsoever.

There is a big difference as in: the table itself (or the thing the information is storred on) can not calculate. You can calculate more efficiently while using such a table. That does not make the paper the table is written on a calculator.
I disagree. The way RAM works is if you feed it an address, a number, and you get a value out, a number. The essence of calculating is converting one or more input numbers into one or more output numbers, regardless of how you do it. A lookup table is a perfectly valid way of calculating things. If you feed two one-digit numbers into something and outputs their sum, then it calculated that sum, regardless of its method.

Well if you consider looking up a calculation, than a phone book does a calculation for you. Yet, unless someone allready knows which person has which phonenumber there is no such book. If you want to make a big table for all possible future blocks. Be my guest.

i got a question about fighting... before i got lvl 2, the lvl 1 alien dies in 1 hit all the time... after i got lvl 2, the lvl 2 alien died in 1 hit for awhile, and than starting taking 2 hits... i go back to the lvl 1 alien, it takes 2 hits sometimes... go back to lvl 2 alien, now it takes 3+ hits so i just surrendered.  I am still lvl 2 and the lvl 1 alien takes 3 hits to kill once in awhile now... my hp is close to 0, i have been drinking to recover

I was wondering if you have any information about how damage works or if there is some kind of damage decay.. at this rate, i don't think i will have money to buy another weapon when it runs out (I am playing for free right now)

Thx

Use the pistol as long as you can, if it runs out, you get another one for free.
The dmg you do has to do with the amount of stamina you currently have. So with 5/6 you do more dmg than with 2/6. You should have a link ingame from OP to a dmg calculator. Either use that you get a feeling for which alien to shoot. You should allways be able to one shot them, sometimes if you have bad luck 2 shots, but never 3.

Never heard that. If someone set up it , what will happen ? It must be amazing at least.

Because it is nonsense. RAM can by definition of RAM not calculate anything, but only store information.
There is almost no difference between calculating and storing/retrieving. A multiplication table can only store information, but it can also "calculate" products.

There is a big difference as in: the table itself (or the thing the information is storred on) can not calculate. You can calculate more efficiently while using such a table. That does not make the paper the table is written on a calculator.

No, I'm not trying to set up a server, I know what kind of distro I am using, I just wanted to use kali to manage my bitcoins (as well as doing what kali is planned for Cheesy).

Wouldnt get those two things mixed up.

Can you explain me what do I need to do? I read that github page, but I still don't get how to solve my problem.
Thank you.

Well I never had to install anything on a kali system, since it pretty much has everything you might want. Unless you want to use it for your everyday stuff. But it is based on debian, so you can just follow the instructions for debian/ubuntu. Did you try using qt5 instead of qt4?

That's bullshit. Nobody can lose that much weight and get that ripped in a month.
For this it would take months even if you trained 4-5 times a week. Besides it is not healthy to lose a lot of weight quickly either.

He didnt gain those muscles in 28 days, he just lost fat so you can see them.

Ripped or not has almost nothing to do with muscles, its mainly about your body fat percentage

is there a reasonable fear that a new release will no longer support a wallet from a previous release?

No, noone would be able to update without sending the coins. There might be a cenario in the future that recuires to throw downwards compability overboard. Anyway, as long as you backup your wallet.dat to somewhere safe on a regular basis you are fine. Even with a newer version you could just reinstall the old version and use that.

Want to try .I like free BTC, Grin
However, the payouts are quite little. To get enough btc to cashout, it requires a lot of effort

What the hell are you talking about? There is no cashout limit.
Did you even visit the page the last days? It is currently down, because OP has problems with the sponsor.

Thanks for the link, My understanding is that I can do this with one transaction from one wallet. I was more interested in multiple bitcoins coming from multiple wallets and going into one wallet. Is there any work on that being done? or am I misunderstanding multi signature transactions?

The way it works is (still by hand afaik) that you make a new multi signature address.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address#Multi-signature_addresses

There is a open source code here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=390046

Than you put as much coins on that address (they start with 3 not with 1) as you want.

Now when you want to spend it, you will have to use "signrawtransaction" to sign as many as you can. The next person does the same and so on until all that are needed are signed. E.g. 2 of 3. only then the money will be transfered to someone else.

https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/2839617

Best to try it with tiny amounts (if you must) or on the testnet first (probably better).

Was muss ich machen, wenn ich die CPU Leistung meines Server zum Minen nutzen möchte?

Das richtige Programm starten.

Welches Programm muss ich dazu verwenden?

Kommt drauf an was Du minen willst. Für Bitcoin gibt es GUIMiner, aber da kannst Du auch gleich bei offenem Fenster die Heizung auf 5 drehen.

Über eine einfach Erklärung wäre ich dankbar.  Wink

It is going to go down, but then it'll go up.  Unfortunately it'll go down after that, but luckily it'll go up after.

So better buy high and sell low Smiley

You can make a new transaction with fees. You get it back basiclly.
10318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed blockchain wallet transaction on: April 28, 2014, 08:18:04 AM
Nope just wait, some miner might include it. After 6(?) days it will be canceled.

I have to admit Im a bit stuck atm. Im lvl 11, money is low (~300 GBP) and I have no weapon. The main problem was that the lvl 8/8,9/9 and 10/10 mobs are mostly gone and I had to switch weapons a lot.
I will work until I can get a weapon, but what then? Gold Ticket and fight lvl 11/12? Most higher weapons need energy for high dmg attacks, right? I will need money to refill it?
You can either travel outside London which has alot of those lv8/9/10 mobs or wait until 1th of May as admin will respawn the mobs in town.

Allright, time to travel I guess Smiley I will check out wher I can get good work and move later. Thanks.
