I am starting to feel nervous.
I would gladly renounce some interest (let's say around 10-15%, to get 5-6% weekly) in order to have some serious insurance, at least partial, kind of PPT-X and Yarr.
How about it?
If you withdraw 10% of your balance you will get 10% less interest, and 10% of your balance will be 100% safe. Or 100% of your original balance is 10% safe. You can think of it as insurance if you like. There's no need for payb.tc to offer insurance when you can do it yourself. If we was to offer more than 10% insurance for 10% of your balance he'd be making a loss, and if he offered less than 10% insurance for 10% of your balance you would be making a loss. |

1CFVvAgicGheKxa3PedMgmw78LT5YXrk7a is not an Mt.Gox address. What happened was that when you transferred funds from your account to SatoshiDice, there was probably one of our users who made a deposit to his Mt.Gox account from 1CFVvAgicGheKxa3PedMgmw78LT5YXrk7a and therefore, the funds were pulled from there to make your withdrawal to SatoshiDice. As a result, SatoshiDice saw that it was sent from that address and returned the Bitcoins to that address. We do not see 1CFVvAgicGheKxa3PedMgmw78LT5YXrk7a linked to any Mt.Gox account and therefore, we do not know whose account it belongs to.
I hate it when support people are out of their depth and decide to just make stuff up rather than referring the issue to someone with the technical knowledge necessary to deal with it. This person clearly doesn't know what they're talking about, but is pretending they do. |

I'm looking at that page, but don't see anything about whether a bonus is available. Does that mean it isn't? Or should I log in to my wallet first? There's an image on that page that says the bonus is 0.5%, and it also tells me that "Currently there is no way to tell if coins are needed before being sent". I'm so confused... |
|
|
|
I did get the bonus 11 confirmations later on the 3BTC, but when I did 120BTC I haven't gotten the extra .5% after 60 confirmations.
I read somewhere that you might not, if it turns out that the clean coins weren't actually needed. |
|
|
|
It looks like the coins came from one of mtgox's change addresses http://blockchain.info/address/1CFVvAgicGheKxa3PedMgmw78LT5YXrk7a and then have indeed spent the winnings since receiving them, but since it's unlikely to be anyone's deposit address they haven't really spent the coins. They'll have 17 BTC more than they should have which they could credit to your account if they wanted to. |

Lmfao! Are you serious ?  No easier way? no way with armory ? There's no easier way in the satoshi client at the moment. I don't know if there are plans to make importing private keys available from the GUI. Maybe Armory can do it, I've almost no experience of Armory. |
|
|

2. run: bitcoind importprivkey 5Je4KHK15KobUcbj29xATN6z6QgZVxL4rYnBD2kaTzncS6oKmqL (replace 5J... with the private key given to you by bitaddress)
do you need to type your username and password with every command? if so, what syntax is it? i've only ever done this through JSON, not actually on the command line. You don't have to type it at all once you have put it into the bitcoin.conf file. The server will read that file when it starts up, and the client will read it each time you run it (assuming they both run on the same box). The server will refuse to start if the password isn't set. |

Not real news, but for interest.
Also not real news, but I noticed yesterday that I am no longer Andre's "buddy" on google talk. I've apparently not seen him online for 59 days, so I guess that's roughly how long ago I stopped being authorised to see his online status:  |

Is there some minimum number of confirmations my funds must have before being considered for the bonus offer? I just made a payment and wasn't prompted "do you wish to send anonymously for 0.5% bonus?"
I logged in again an hour later and the banner that talks about the bonus being available on the 'transactions' no longer shows up. So I'm guessing the bonus was no longer available when I made my payment, but the transactions tab hadn't been updated to stop advertising the bonus. |

Ok, I thought this would be easier than it is.. Can someone describe how to actually use the keys provided once generated from Bitaddress.org ? I've tried a bit using Armory.. its a no go, it uses a different terminology for the "codes" Why isnt this simple, and documented somewhere ?  To import a private key into your satoshi client: 0. edit or create bitcoin.conf in the same folder as wallet.dat adding lines that say: rpcuser=someusername
rpcpassword=somepassword 1. run: bitcoin-qt -server and wait for it to load the blockchain and start up 2. run: bitcoind importprivkey 5Je4KHK15KobUcbj29xATN6z6QgZVxL4rYnBD2kaTzncS6oKmqL (replace 5J... with the private key given to you by bitaddress) 3. wait 5 minutes or so while bitcoin-qt checks the whole blockchain for transactions containing your new address |

I have been in touch with MTGOX and they claim that the address that my withdrawal request was paid from was not one from mtgox's wallet. I find it hard to understand how that is possible.
It's possible the coins they sent you were 'change' from a previous withdrawal they made to someone else, and so they don't see the address in their wallet. That doesn't mean they don't control the address however. And so now they claim the coins that were returned is not in their possession. Is that possible ? What are your views guys ?
The coins they sent on your behalf probably either came from a change address or somebody else's deposit address. In the first case they should still have your coins, but in the second case they will have been seen as a deposit by this other mtgox account holder, and may well have already been withdrawn by him. I don't see how mtgox can claim that they don't control the address from which they made your withdrawal however. That sounds impossible to me. |

Since posting my block I've switched ISPs. I no longer have a public IP address. I share my IP address with a bunch of other customers of my ISP, so I guess you'll never see me online.

Yes, but the merchant should take the risk. They are there to make the money. It's backwards here. In Bitcoin it seems like the little poor broke bastard has to pay the price while the Goxes get richer.
The problem is that the merchant doesn't end up paying the cost of chargebacks, his honest customers do. The merchant calculates the cost of chargebacks and increases his prices to cover that cost. |

I don't have very good luck with lotteries. Does the same carry over into bitcoin? :-P
Maybe. Lotteries usually have really bad house edges (around 50% or so), whereas SatoshiDice only currently takes 1.9%. So you're less likely to be unlucky at SatoshiDice, mathematically speaking. But when the flying spaghetti monster is out to get you, mathematical odds don't matter. Results: 2012-Jul-15 09:53am (up to block 189202)

My guess is, it's only if Armory tries to open the file for reading during a bitcoin-qt write operation. The file can be updated all you want after Armory opens it, and it will never be affected by the updates because they are all append operations. The file will have the same size and content according to Armory regardless of how much data has been added while it is scanning (until I close and reopen it). So I say 1/1000 because I think a blkfile-write and blkfile-open have to occur at the same time. The hypothesis is further supported by the fact that I have seen a curious segfault once in the past month similar, and you are the only other report of it (and I open Armory like 50x per day!)
