And when it explodes and kills the recipient guess who goes to jail? 

That's the thing. I do not really consider myself conservative, but I have respect for those who have a consistent philosophy on the subject, right or left. But Trump is just about Trump and seems to have no center or consistent ideas about the world. He just reacts in the moment based on his feelings at that moment. That is how dictatorships operate. These are worrying times. 
P.S. I often voted Dem in the past. My party has also sold out and I'm outta there. 

it's more Japanese JT stuff. When I lived in Japan I could not help notice how much they are into school girls. It's pretty weird.

So it's like bitcoin except the supply, distribution, and price are controlled by a central bank and can only be used in Denmark according to the rules laid out by a government. 

What I see in America is that conservatives believe in nothing. They just elected a megalomaniac New York billionaire who is loyal to Russia. What country is this anymore?

Oh, there are numerous scams that will do this for you. 

Actually the way I wrote that is wrong. What I mean is that the pass phrase is weaker than a private key.

I thought that time frame was to discover a collision in a bitcoin address? Electrum is much weaker than that because they are using a list of words to create a password. However it is still a large number of possibilities to test.

This is why a good password should never be a word at all. With something like 60-80k English words in common use it is a relatively small task to test those possibilities. That is a dictionary attack.  
If instead you used a PW like:   %74Fkg#!jkF6l  it will require trying every possibility for all characters. That is brute forcing.

Oh I do PURCHASE stuff with bitcoin. It is the only money I use online. If I can't get it for bitcoin then I don't buy it. I don't care about being liked or hated. It's not about me. Indeed the worst curse I could imagine is being famous. 
Bitcoin is a response to the unfairness present in monetary policy. The first people here were much, much more concerned with these issues than getting rich or buying drugs. That all came later. Of course we are all individuals and someone else may feel differently.

I suppose I am an early adopter. I have been at it since 2010. Like many of the others I know, we are not interested in the price. I don't care about wealth, just economic freedom. That's what this is about for me and I have no intention of ever "cashing out". I have never sold a bitcoin because bitcoin is the cash I want. If I find myself sitting on a 100 million USD in BTC, I'll donate it somewhere.

So what? It in no way allows control of anyones bitcoin. It is just a list of possible private keys. For example I don't know your phone number, but I could write down all possible 10 digit phone numbers. Would I know your number then? Well... It would be on my list, but so what? 

Amen. If someone thinks they control BTC then try controlling mine and find out how wrong this notion is.

I have used them as well. I think Tiger Direct and Dell also take bitcoin as well as overstock. Overstock sells HP computers with a discount of 3% if you pay in bitcoin. I don't think you will find a better deal.

 

Then why do you need my bitcoins?

Yes, that is a good point.  And I did do that. You can read the letter I enclosed in the original post of this thread.




I tried but got very sick of their system. It requires weeks of waiting for confirmations and a stupid set of rules about how the cache needs to be set up. After like three weeks I gave up and deleted my account. It was serious ridiculous. They would ask how I will "maintain the cache". When I wrote back that this a one time thing and I can't do that, the response would take a week and be "how will you maintain the cache"?  

I think he meant in one purchase. Purchases of currency or anything over 10K will trigger all sorts of investigation. If your caught you will wish you had paid. Failure to do so is way more expensive.

You sir are correct!
However it may not be a great idea. Here is why.
I have a copy of the private key that controls this balance. The reason I kept a copy is in case this is never claimed. It could be destroyed by the ocean or weather or whatever. If no one claims it by 2018 I will assume it is gone and move the cache to another place on the earth. At that point it would be very hard to return any additional funds sent to the address. So you would have to commit to giving those funds away even if it means they are moved to another location later. You would also have to trust me not to just take the funds. I'm not going to do that, but you don't know me and blind trust is not a bitcoin value.
 

You may very well be right. I was worried it would only take hours and would go too fast, silly me.
Even though there are not a lot of bitcoin users in Iceland there are mega-mines right in the same town as this cache. So I know some people there know about it.  Where are they?
Maybe I will announce this in some other places. I was hoping that someone here would get it though. In any case it will be there until 2018. Unless the sea claims it.

lol, yes. I am keeping it there even if it rises in price to a million USD.
You may also want to look into Iceland air if you fly to Europe. They have a layover deal that let's you stop in Iceland. Since this cache is only 15mins. from the airport you could grab it with a cab ride. You may even be able to walk there.

100 days and no takers yet!

It is still there just waiting for you to come up with a plan. No strings, no rules. Just take it and it's yours.

The problem I see with the alt-coins is that they are always trying to solve a problem that does not exist. Problems like "there aren't enough coins" or "mining fees are too low" or whatever. They are all pale copies of the real breakthrough that bitcoin represents.
The only alt that has maintained some level of respect is litecoin. I can't think of another success from the hundreds of alts now in the wild.
