You can generate a private key by rolling dice and entering the result at bitaddress.org. How do I make a wallet using dice? What is B6?
An important part of creating a Bitcoin wallet is ensuring the random numbers used to create the wallet are truly random. Physical randomness is better than computer generated pseudo-randomness. The easiest way to generate physical randomness is with dice. To create a Bitcoin private key you only need one six sided die which you roll 99 times. Stopping each time to record the value of the die. When recording the values follow these rules: 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, 6=0. By doing this you are recording the big random number, your private key, in B6 or base 6 format. You can then enter the 99 character base 6 private key into the text field above and click View Details. You will then see the Bitcoin address associated with your private key. You should also make note of your private key in WIF format since it is more widely used.
That's essentially what I do, although on an air-gapped system of course. Roll a die 99x or flip a coin 256x. For a die you just convert the 6 to a 0 and you can plug it right into bitaddress. For the coin toss choose whether heads is going to be a 1 or a 0. I think I tried to input binary on bitaddress and it didn't work properly, but anyway it's probably just quicker to convert it to hex before inputting it anyway. There are simple guides on how to do it manually or you can always use that air-gapped system to compute it as well. I've done it many times and will continue to do so. Unfortunately, going from private to public key then public key to address is never going to happen with pen and paper. That's okay though! I've come to terms with it. You could also use a segwit address. I've been eyeing https://segwitaddress.org/bech32 and will try to make a bech32 paper wallet soon. |

@LoyceV can attest I am capable of rolling up a vanity wallet with eg 1KnownXXX / 1KnownMk3 or similar if the contributors here agree to have me look after any donations.
Maybe even a Segwit vanity address?I agree that I'd be fine with you holding onto donations, although I don't really know what the donations would be used for. |

It's ~impossible to preemptively detect all cases like that, and very difficult to do even a halfway-decent job. That guy isn't even trying to link to "bitcointalk.org". So it's whack-a-mole. That's why the green highlight was added: it's easier to whitelist than blacklist.
Even better would be to just not click links. Ever. Just copy and paste the URL if you actually trust it. If you don't know what it links do don't click it. It's really just that simple. On the other hand I understand that it's hard to teach the general public this basic security. Most people aready screw up an even bigger issue, like reusing the same 8 digit password on every website and saving it in their browser. Ugh. |

I say use the same system. I have 10 sMerits and I can either use them do downgrade someone's merit or I can use them to increase someone's merit. Will there be rampant abuse? Probably. That doesn't make the idea any less solid.

To prevent scams, spam, alt accounts, and similar abuse, and to promote an environment of trust, all forum users must now submit know-your-customer (KYC) identity info to the forum here. As we all know, Bitcoin was built on the principle of "if you have nothing to hide, what's there to fear?", which is why the block chain is a public ledger. And Satoshi even famously said, "sacrificing a little liberty for increased security is the foundation of blockchain technology." Additionally, you can get extra-verified by posting a selfie in this thread. (Upload the image to imgur or something first and then use the bbcode [img]DIRECT_LINK_TO_IMG[/img].) Make sure it's a very serious selfie. After posting a selfie, our advanced verifAI™ algorithm will choose whether to verify you or not, and will also assign you with an accurate verification assessment to be displayed next to your posts.

Where is Bruno? He will probably actually provide a real picture of himself, and will far outtroll theymos in this prank.
Lol I could see that happening. If he read this then he probably won't do it though because we want him to. But I don't want him to. So. Yeah. The plot thickens. Where is Bruno? He will probably actually provide a real picture of himself, and will far outtroll theymos in this prank.
Isn't he going by the name of cryptohunter these days? OOPS. Hey Chris!, haven't seen you around in a long-ass time. Nice that you're still here. Woah. Doxxed. Oh yeah I'll never leave. That doesn't mean that life won't get in the way sometimes though  there have been lots of changes recently and they're a little confusing but hey, it's the same basic principle so I think I'm caught up.  Edit: Issue was resolved after DMing Theymos 40x. Thank goodness I'm legendary or I wouldn't have been able to send so many in such a short period of time. If you're having any issues or if you have any questions just keep lighting up Theymos' inbox and he'll get back to you ASAP. |

 I thought I was supposed to DM it to you. Instructions are not my forte. Please verify me ASAP as I have so much shitposting I need to do tonight. |
|
|
|
I desperately need to shitpost so if you could please verify my KYC ASAP it would be greatly appreciated. I already sent it to Theymos via unencrypted PM and no answer in the past 2 mins so I'm assuming this is going to take at least 15 and I don't have that long to wait. I've uploaded my ID here, please verify my KYC documentation ASAP. |

Theymos did nothing to fool us when we are expecting him to do something crazy.
So aren't we fooled?
It's March 31st still in America. Hold onto your hats. |

Nowadays, for the opportunist people, nothing impossible for them to deceive others here. By making fake news especially in doing fake volume was easy for them to do it I guess. And according to what you had showed here it is obviously not the real image of Bitcoin as well.
Honestly this is pretty typical. Blabber on about whatever the title was for 100 or 150 characters and move onto the next. It's on topic ish, it's almost cohearant and that's how they get away with it. What a joke. Another one: We have added a Ravencoin faucet to freefaucet.io
Kudos to the devs, our community LOVE your coin, it's actually our 2nd most popular on the site!
No doubt that's good effort to introduce this coin to new people too the more people will get involved it will help to increase the community size. Raven is big coin so that it is nice to collect some coins for free but better to buy at low price. Always quote someone else before you ramble about nothing. That way your post looks bigger. Hahaha. |

I've got a basic explanation here if it's needed. I'm not sure of the technical differences between compressed and uncompressed addresses though. |
|

|

Very cool. I'm glad to see a compressed key option, but of course would love native segwit/P2SH as well (as I see has already been brought up).
I'll test it out when I have a chance! Thanks Jean_Luc for taking this on!

this made me laugh today, maybe it will some others as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125756.msg50360031#msg50360031"I would like to know more information in this project because the Masternode projects are very few in this market and very few people are interested in this i am a small investor in Masternode projects and I hope that the development team will probably do better in marketing to attract new investors to the project if this is really a good project I will definitely invest and invite more friends to join me" does anyone else's brain just fecking melt when they read shit like this?  haha It usually half melts my brain because I half read it, think it over for a second to see if it made any sense at all (nope) , then immediately report it as spam. |

The death wasn't faked. I can say that with 99% confidence. Was it suspicious? Of course. Gerald is dead though. This doesn't mean that Patryn doesn't have anything to do with it. He's a shady character to say the least.
That being said, the money isn't lost because private keys were lost. The money is gone. It was being syphoned out for a long time before Gerald passed away. This had already been confirmed via blockchain analysis, their lawyers etc.
An investigation is being conducted by the RCMP and FBI so I'm assuming we'll get more answers after a long time.
How can you be so sure about him being dead. Are there written statements of people who saw the body, or were able to verify that there really was a funeral? If the money was being syphoned it means that either the CEO wasn't the only one who had access, or that he was stealing it himself and got killed by someone who found out about it and wanted the money for himself. An accomplice maybe? I've heard from people that I know and trust that he is in fact dead. I would have to assume one of those is correct and the RCMP and FBI will let us know. I thought this issue has been settled... has the owner's death been confirmed?
Doesn't he have a family or something? Haven't the family received his corpse. Or this may have been planned right before he developed the exchanges?
I know you're just sig spamming but that was terrible. Try googling it ffs. Yes he has family. Who do you think owns the business now that he's dead? |

Most of the so called "clean" exchangers are licensed.  Yes, 95% from BTC trading is fake. That means the market is small and it's not like the Bitcoin media present it... Yeah but I wouldn't trust any exchange or business that decided to give into a Bitlisence. You do know that those exchanges are basically banks, right? All of your KYC is handed over right away, even if you don't live in New York. Honestly, fuck that. I'm not American and I don't need the American government looking through my KYC documents for no reason at all. This narrows the exchanges down significantly, but at least there are still decent options. |

I am wondering how much pages will this topic go  It will go a hundreds of pages containing a pure baseball caps instead of hats and xhomerx10 will be the new main trend for this year. I'm kinda feeling that even newbies will spam this thread by requesting their hats to be made Maybe Chris! can do us all a favour and lock this thread then? Sounds like a good plan lol. Done! |

I can't believe I'm just seeing this now. What horrible news. He was an amazing contribution to the community and will definitely be missed.

Unless they're announcing that Overstock will be sold on the Ravencoin blockchain to anonymous investors, I don't think this price will hold very much longer.
I thought that they could use RVN on tZero like coin for doing IEO-s. I'm sure they will. This was the assumption that got RVN it's 300 satoshi value. Maintaining the recent highs would have needed an announcement along the lines of, 'We are going to list Overstock shares for sale on tZero using Ravencoin's blockchain and will be paying out future dividends in RVN'. I do not believe this will happen anytime soon, so it's buckle up your seatbelts and hope that the price holds in the 600 satoshi range once this correction comes to fruition. Or maybe we're going to be listed on Coinbase on Monday! Lol sorry, I just had to. I'm fully expecting a few ATHs over the next short while then we'll see a downward trend for quite a while. |
