10881  Other / Meta / Re: Abandoned thread - how to delete it on: November 30, 2015, 12:33:44 PM
I cannot lock or change that inital thread. I can control only the thread about DMD Diamond which we have created after this coin takeover.

This initial abandoned thread s been created by the old dev who s not around for years.

Did you try to report it to be moved to archival?
There's no need to report. Anyone can move their thread to archival (and have no right to move them to its child board though).

BTW can you post the link to the thread? This could help.
10882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Economists suggest small Bitcoin reserve on: November 30, 2015, 11:42:37 AM
Small bitcoin reserve... I have just started my personal reserve in bitcoin (just moving my coins to another wallet which I won't spend) this week with my sig earnings, however it is only 0.003 BTC...
their total reserve in fiat currency and gold is around 700 or 800 million.

it won't have a big impact.

but, if more countries start adding bitcoin to their portfolio, it will cause a large impact on the price.
700M USD is more than 10% of existing bitcoins, or the trading volume of few days. So the impact in price even by this will be huge, maybe pushing the price to 500.
10883  Other / Meta / Re: Referal Links on: November 29, 2015, 04:27:11 AM
You may add the link to your signature space (it is allowed), however there are several restrictions on signatures for low-ranked members (like only 50 characters are permitted in a newbie's signature).
Also newbies have more restrictions on what sites their signature and posts could link to. Only links to trusted sites are permitted for low-ranked members. If you really want to promote, buy a higher rank account, or wait for your account to establish.
10884  Other / Meta / Re: what happens if someone reaches 1000000 post count? on: November 28, 2015, 08:55:05 AM
Someone have searched the code before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1194826.msg12551893#msg12551893
and the sentence 'I am a geek!' would be shown as the post count when the number of posts is more than 100,000, i.e. same for users achieved 1,000,000 posts.
10885  Other / Meta / Re: Activity spam on: November 27, 2015, 09:12:46 AM
I've seen the modlog page, and see he is already been banned:
Quote
Autoban user: N/A in topic #0 by member #130114
All bans shown on modlog is a perma ban (ref: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833435.msg9315006#msg9315006). Hope the spammer won't (and can't) buy another account and spam again.
10886  Other / Meta / Re: Max activity you can gain per week? on: November 26, 2015, 01:06:55 PM
BTW someone have made a list of all 2 week periods from April (hidden in 'Copy') here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0. You may see the list there.
Also 14 is the potential activity that you can earn in a 2 week period, no matter how many activity points you have. To redeem the potential activity just make enough posts, and if the post count is high enough, you will get 14 activity simply by making 1 post in a new 2 week period. (Remember not to spam posts to meet the requirement - or you'll be banned soon!)
10887  Other / Meta / Will moderators merge these two topics? on: November 25, 2015, 09:57:55 AM
Today when I surf the Beginners board, I see two threads with nearly the same name (just differ by a question mark) shown together:
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179418.0
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1163283.0
And the only difference is the thread was from 2013 and 2015.
What is the criteria for mods to merge two topics like that, or just let them be?
10888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will Bitcoin become obsolete? on: November 22, 2015, 09:42:02 AM
Your polling choices are not objective enough, please add 'more than 15 years, but it will obsolete one day' and 'never' as two of the choices.
BTW I don't think BTC will become obsolete, but it may not replace fiat either (imagine people in poor countries who don't have Internet access and a device as a bitcoin wallet). The current situation is fine for bitcoin. Bitcoin is, and will still be the currency of the kingdom of the Internet.
10889  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: My first miner! Where should I point it? on: November 22, 2015, 01:49:21 AM
Join any BTC pool that support difficulty 1 shares (as a 330 MH/s miner will generate a difficulty 1 share in 13 seconds). I don't suggest mining in any shitcoins, as the profitability of them is all lower than mining bitcoin itself.
10890  Other / Meta / Re: WTF is this? on: November 21, 2015, 10:47:34 AM
i'm using my isp's dynamic ip, no tor, proxy, nothing.
The reason is this: within the users who used the same ISP with the same range of dynamic IP addresses, one of them are an evil and created an account for spamming. Then the IP address is banned and units of evil is added to that IP address and also addresses nearby. Myself have encountered some of them when I've used freedoge.co.in on my mobile 3G service's IP which also ban IP addresses for abusing.
If I were you, I would pay the 21008 satoshi, as a donation/support to the forum. That isn't a great amount as anyone could gain them by visiting only 21 faucets paying more than 1000 sat.
10891  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion regarding "newbie forumula". on: November 19, 2015, 10:26:13 AM
I have just checked your potential activity and got the report here: http://www.bitcoinrates.in/bitcointalk/getactivity.php?token=1447928485e5ec657549
It said that you have 140 potential activity points, which means you can reach that amount of activity (i.e. Full Member rank) if you make 126 more posts (you have 14 posts now). However after your activity reached the limit then it won't increase again until another 2 week period start (a list of the periods is here).
However when you are making posts, please remember that you can't spam, or you'll easily be banned by moderators here.
10892  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Compressed Address ? on: November 16, 2015, 10:11:31 AM
Most wallets should use compressed addresses now. They reduce the size of the transaction. If you import a WIF encoded private key starting with 5 the wallet will assume an uncompressed pubkey. If you use a WIF encoded private key starting with L or K the wallet will assume a compressed pubkey. Its probably an issue with the brainwallet software you used. It should display two WIF encoded private keys. The private key is still the same, its just a different prefix.


one priv key (hex format) --> two private keys (WIF format) --> two pubkeys (compressed / uncompressed) -> two addresses
I don't use any software to generate the brainwallet, I've used bitaddress.org to generate it.
BTW I have just tried with my private key exported from blockchain.info for my address 17sy7mX9t8CsnYM39bs4pQ3aVtgeanyu63. The corresponding 'compressed' address is 15VS1AbU4GBY95SrDF9hBbmoQysQzkVvX7, however I haven't seen that address in any software. When I imported it into Mycelium, the address shown is also the original one.
P.S. I've used the key to sign a message, and use the compressed address to verify it, however the original address shown: http://coinig.com/?adr=15VS1AbU4GBY95SrDF9hBbmoQysQzkVvX7&msg=Test+message.+Today+is+16-11-2015.&sig=HE%2BbQuXm44iiDIshC4FbRBkj9ZTUJd%2Bh%2Br%2Boh5ib9xP0UAmdGAtxWQCZ9eaM47WYhwAVNNqr3bH%2BwF38TMSZJIU%3D
Edit: Right before I made this post, I've made a try on the compressed private key (start with a 'L') and the 'compressed' address shown.
10893  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Compressed Address ? on: November 15, 2015, 09:38:26 AM
Just google it for you!

A compressed key is just a way of storing a public key in fewer bytes (33 instead of 65). There are no compatibility or security issues because they are precisely the same keys, just stored in a different way. The original Bitcoin software didn't use compressed keys only because their use was poorly documented in OpenSSL. They have no disadvantages other than that a little bit of additional computation is needed before they can be used to validate a signature.

If you think of a public key as a point somewhere along a giant letter U, an uncompressed key is the x and y coordinates of the point. A compressed key is how high up on the U the point is along with a single bit indicating whether it's on the left or right side. As you can visualize, they both encode precisely the same thing, but the compressed form requires half as much space plus one bit. (Of course, they're really points on elliptic curve secp256k1, but the concept is the same.)
from http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3059/what-is-a-compressed-bitcoin-key.
You're not answering what exactly he was asking, he is asking compressed ADDRESS, like for the private key 5KgKbZCRc8VvwHcx76hvUdo1oDjh6pYMgbDgkvgeNi2r4gYy4HA (from brain wallet 123456789012345678901234567890), it's corresponding address is 1ECWivMucRHnFuRzSsSDWUWwnUQvxX9t2T while the corresponding COMPRESSED address is 13EgNfFRBpigdhwiXYnfVNS5seRfBJKyU5.
I don't quite know how it works, however I would never send any bitcoins to a compressed address as many software don't recognize it (like I have just tested it in Mycelium, and it showed the normal address only).
10894  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: About Blockchain.info confirmation on: November 14, 2015, 07:52:05 AM
In my personal experience, the only problem of blockchain.info wallet to me is I can't spend an unconfirmed input, and I can spend them even if it have only 1 confirmation.

Can you post your bitcoin address and tx which have the issue?? This could help us to spot out your problem more easily.
10895  Other / Meta / Re: Reputation on: November 14, 2015, 04:08:43 AM
How can people buy and sell reputation on this sight?
Reputation=trust? If yes then it is not allowed (if someone do so then he/she will tagged with negative trusts).
If you're talking about trading of accounts, then yes it is allowed here, but it is discouraged.
For the 7 months hero account, are you talking an account which have potential activity, or the account have some activity points that it can reach hero in 7 months (i.e. the account have around 280 activity now)? If yes then that account would only worth BTC0.1.
10896  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining difficult, what it depends on? on: November 11, 2015, 11:11:44 PM
Hi, what does depend the mining difficult? By the number of people that are mining?

In a future, when mining will end, or will be less earning... Does the actual big mining farm close giving to citizien back the power of mining?
First, the difficulty depends on the average hashrate for the last 2016 blocks, and it will adjust it so that a block will generate in 10 minutes.

Second, it is stiill unknown. If the transaction fees is significant and mining farms can make a profit, they stay. If not, then most of then will gone. There's someone willing to loss, though.

If you see an investor-based game and want to promote it, the only board suitable is investor-based game, or more likely, Trashcan. It is because an investor-based game won't become only gambling and it don't suit in that board. Also, re-posting of a service is not allowed here, and that's exactly what you're doing.
10898  Other / Meta / So many spam accounts created in October on: November 03, 2015, 11:08:47 PM
Today I have extra time to see the modlog, and see the latest member ID is at 631k! I've remembered that the number was about 560k a month ago. Then I've searched the forum stats. I found that 68832 accounts was created last month, which is the all time high as of now, while the pageviews/new topics are about the same as before. Then I've searched for some 'good' numbers, like:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=600000
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=590000
And I've searched for adjacent numbers:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=590001
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=590002
And found that they are created within seconds and with almost the same name! Mods please handle them!
10899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do with 1,000,000 Bitcoin on: November 03, 2015, 12:36:22 PM
1M BTC... That's the estimated number of bitcoins that satoshi have, and he is keeping the bitcoins, neither selling it nor spending it. I would do the same as what satoshi does: that's keeping it and do nothing.
10900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people REALLY use bitcoin on: November 01, 2015, 04:35:41 AM
I used bitcoin just for purchasing digital goods (like cloud mining/gift cards) and altcoins. I have never used bitcoin to buy any physical good (as many local merchants don't accept bitcoin Sad )
Also, I would use my bitcoins to do some little trades (like playing with the BTC/USD market and get some advantage when bitcoin goes down, or buying some altcoins and take advantage whem it rise).
