Take the reciprocal and you can trade in whole numbers. That's what I do.

So right now the buy orders above 150 BTC / [42] account for about 10% of the total supply of 42.

Think about that, kids.

I should read the code, but I would assume that the transaction ID is a 256 bit hash of the transaction details. If so, then it should take quite a birthday attack to create a valid alternate transaction ID. If the ID isn't a hash of the transaction details, then where is the hole in this idea, because it seems readily obvious.

9.9 BTC. I think I have my terminology backwards.

Good timing.    Someone just put up a 19 BTC sell buy wall. You could probably make a small profit right now. But I think it would be a little early to cash out.

[edit]

Drats! It disappeared.

[edit edit]

Back at 9.9 BTC. Someone made a typo.

It has about 60 - 65 MH/s right now. It's not dead by a long shot.

Run the open wallet inside a VM on an encrypted drive. The VM OS can run a screen saver that requires a password. The VM could use encrypted system memory too (I believe this is possible). The point of weakness would be the screen saver, but it would be hard to kill the screen saver if the only enabled port was for the wallet client. Cracking the screen saver directly through encrypted system memory would probably be just as hard as brute-force cracking a locked encrypted wallet.

Security for the truly paranoid.

I'm going to have to join the ignore group. I'm all ears to discontent, but at some point there has to be evidence to back up grievances. You have provided nothing substantial over dozens of posts, so I'm hitting the ignore button now...

You will kick yourself.

He's attacked the coin so much, I'm starting to have sympathy for it.

You are going to panic sell at the floor? It's been bouncing off about 155 for a week.

If you sell now, in 2 weeks time you will be kicking yourself.

It will take off. Right now, about 2/3 of the hashes moved to DOGE. But hashes are still above 30 MH/s.

The POS quality of EBT means that the overhead to keep the coin alive will be very low. In other words, it doesn't need huge hashes and it doesn't need to waste electricity to survive in the long run. That's why it is a good prospect to mine now.

In the grand scheme of things, EBT is an early POS mover, in league with PPC, Next, CASH, PTS, and GRAin coin. It will probably take several times longer than these other coins (except maybe GRA) to gain real value. This means you can mine a bunch at relatively low cost, then just keep a wallet running as you collect interest. At some point in the future EBT should trade at a good value.

However, if you are having doubts, I'll buy a few hundred thousand from you at the current OpenEx exchange rate. 

You are right. I meant 90 MH/s. Replace all k with M in my last post.

To get the honest hash rate, you have to go to every pool and add them up manually. Then you have to estimate the hashes of solo miners, which there is no way to know. The client doesn't have the capacity to calculate the overall network hash rate like some (not all) other coins do.

I've been watching this coin since early on, and it has had a steady increase of hashes. I calculate right now that it is at least 90 kH/s MH/s (no accounting for solo miners). That's up from about 35 kH/s MH/s from a week ago. If you like this coin, my suggestion to you is to start (or keep) mining while it's easy. If this coin were going to tank, the hashes would have peaked and already started dropping. EBT is only 2 weeks old, but these days most coins peak after a few hours, or at most 3-4 days.

[edit]

For perspective, CASH was at about 325 kH/s MH/s when it was slated to go on cryptsy, which it achieved after about 3 weeks. If EBT gets to that hash rate, it will take a couple of months, which is good news for small time miners interested in this coin.

More of the same.

Nice work.

The guy who bought your flip is going to be hating himself tomorrow.

You like that? Someone just dumped about 1 BTC of 42 to every buy order available and brought it nearly to 150.

I'm not sure what the developers have in mind to protect the value of the coin, but the path they are taking right now certainly is unconventional (and ineffective)!

The 50 coin block doesn't exist because those 50 come from the genesis block, which can't be spent:

"This was probably intended as proof that the block was created on or after January 3rd, 2009, as well as a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking.

The first 50BTC block reward went to address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, though this reward can't be spent due to a quirk in the way that the genesis block is expressed in the code (this may have been intentional)."

These coins on life support always get a bump after the devs fix mining problems. Right now, miners are mining at a deficit because the price is so low and the difficulty so high. It's not obvious why the fixes don't come faster.

It captures the essence of EBT.
