I also use P2Pool and would recomend it to everyone. You can't beat no fees.
1322  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Client finally synched but first Bitcoin not there?? on: December 22, 2012, 09:10:03 AM
You can look-up your address on blockchain.info (type it in the search in top right) to see if the sellers transaction is there.

And no, you don't need to be synced to receive Bitcoins, even if the address never appeared on the network before.
1323  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: TORwallet Microtronix Webhosting Bitcoins on: December 21, 2012, 11:01:24 PM
A couple of days ago, I sent a bitcent to torwallet to see if/where it would move to & if the site was still not allowing users to make transactions.

Its still in the same address, makes me think that it may not be a scam and the owner could actually be AWOL.
1324  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Too Late To Get Into Bitcoin Mining? on: December 21, 2012, 10:43:02 PM
But even if at 36,780,534 difficulty later on (guess)

I think you forgot to add on another 0. Seems like a very optimistic difficulty estimate.

Most people are reluctant to accept PayPal for Bitcoins, as the PayPal transaction can be easily reversed & Bitcoins can't.

Fraudsters also seem to use phished PayPal accounts to buy BTC alot.
1327  Other / Meta / Re: Who would pay to use this forum? on: December 21, 2012, 06:18:51 PM
According to my stats I've spent 25 entire days of my life on this forum, so yes I would have no problem paying.

I have donated BTC to the forums before & will donate more in future.

1329  Other / Off-topic / Re: So December 21st is almost here, or already here... on: December 20, 2012, 09:47:46 PM
It doesn't end until 11:12am UTC, so we got another 13.5hrs to go!

By the way, the mayan calendar doesn't actually end on December 21st, only the 13th baktun of the mayan calendar (13 is the unlucky number, which is where the myth of the world ending actually comes from).

We've got another 1,008,000 days before the mayan calendar finishes, also when your calendar runs out you just buy a new one, it doesn't mean the world is ending.

No they didn't, he spent 0.06BTC but sent the change back to the same address.

Its possible they sent you a link to somebody elses transaction by accident.

The dude just spent 0.06BTC of that money BTW so he's online.
1332  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitchain.info / Sofort wallet deposit hasn't worked? on: December 20, 2012, 10:46:13 AM
Sorry, blockchain.info

I didn't send my bitcoins to either of those addresses. They should have gone here:

Have I been done?

Thats not a Bitcoin address, that is the identifier for your wallet, its used for logging in only. You need to login to your wallet to see your Bitcoin addresses, they start with a 1.

No you haven't been done, BC.info is a legit business & will make this right if something has gone wrong.

1334  Other / Off-topic / Re: Silk Road compromised? on: December 19, 2012, 08:34:48 AM
Does this mean they have/had no backups of the site? If I "very skillfully and cleverly" hack their db and overwrite balances instead of images will they say "also, it is looking like we will most likely lose the defaced balances, so those will need to be re-deposited."?

No, of course they have backups of the site & the DB was never compromised.

SR uses a very neat way of displaying the product images on their site, so as to reduce the number of requests the browser has to send over TOR due to the high latency. I'm guessing this is the reason the hacker was able to deface the images & also the reason they didn't have any backups of them.

It sounds like the plan now is to crop out the QuickBuy from the images & use them, after they fix the vulnerability obviously. Should be OK for most of the images, seller can always fix it anyways by re-uploading.

The whole thing has made users extremely paranoid as also a few SR moderators haven't been heard from in a few weeks now & there is a rumour of a bust happening soon, there are a lot of sellers packing up shop & leaving the site.
1335  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What will Litecoins be worth in a year or two? on: December 19, 2012, 08:24:06 AM
What about the faster rate to confirm transactions?

I addressed this above. More confirmations does not mean more protection, its more about time. 4 LTC confirms = 1 BTC confirm in terms of protection against double spends.

How do you know LTC is designed for pump and dump?


LTC was designed to be GPU-hostile, which meant that it would be more efficient to mine on a CPU. This was the entire purpose of the currency, however it was discovered months later that it wasn't GPU-hostlile and GPU mining is more efficient than CPU. A lot of people have accused the Litecoin developers of GPU mining LTC since day one with the plan of doing a pump-and-dump. It is also strange as originally LTC was supposed to use Bcrypt as its hashing algorithm which should make it GPU-hostile, but this was later changed to scrypt, which isn't GPU-hostile at all.

is there any estimate of how many TerraH is being sold with the ASIC ?

http://butterflylabs.com
https://www.btcfpga.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=61

how big can the network get ?

As big as it wants.

what will happen to the difficulty?

Its going to skyrocket. Nobody knows for sure, but based on the number of pre-orders for ASIC's I'm guessing atleast a 20x increase.

Maybe try explaining that selling your BTC (or any asset for that matter) to pay for living expenses is a short term solution to a long term problem, only way to fix the problem is to increase income or reduce expenditure, think about it, what will you do when your BTC runs out.
