For somebody offering products that cost thousands of dollars, they need to spend a little bit more time learning how to type.

No doubt about it, censorship everywhere. You get banned for the slightest reasons, and it makes me lose faith in humanity... You give people some power and they abuse it many times...

Once? MD5 might be insecure these days, but it would still take a lot of time to bruteforce it. If it is bruteforcable within a sane timeframe, it's likely 7-8 characters, or a number.
1411  Other / Off-topic / Re: May the Truth RIP - Now is Official on: December 12, 2013, 01:59:00 PM
this is a "signature".
Have you or someone else managed to decrypt the "signature"?
It's a Base64 encoded message, once decoded it says "you need to decrypt this one. it's a md5 hash. 7f10d8d24c6302747d2e053dde9833f8"

You don't decrypt MD5, you bruteforce it.
1412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: On what server were the first bitcoins created? on: December 11, 2013, 05:40:54 PM
Satoshi created the first 50 bitcoins. We don't know who he is or where he is. Wherever you read that it's probably fake, since he was also hiding behind Tor.

So no, we don't know and can't know which PC in which country in which city mined the first 50btc.
1413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Valid private keys - is a SHA256 hash always valid as a private key? on: December 11, 2013, 04:09:27 PM
This is from the wiki

Quote
Nearly every 256-bit number is a valid private key. Specifically, any 256-bit number between 0x1 and 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4141 is a valid private key.

So long as your key is bigger than 0x1(I would recommend at least >2^35 and < 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4141(you can consider this one and at least 2^35 bits below this to be taken by malicious programs).
1414  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Why are stratum and stratum-mining doin things in such a complicated way? on: December 11, 2013, 01:18:34 PM
Twisted seems to provide you with a LineReceiver out of the box, however slush has not used that in his projects, he is also using some "Application Framework" and Services in twisted, I honestly have no idea what they are or what they do, but why not just start a simple TCP Server, but instead does things in such a complicated way?

I plan to write a pool software from scratch in Python using LineReceiver as stratum is a line based protocol and TCP4ServerEndpoint for the server itself. Anything I should know beforehand on why I should or should not use this?

If you want to get the exact same genesis block as Bitcoin, you might as well just set the nonce as well, no point in waiting minutes.
1416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][Datacoin] Datacoin blockchain start announcement (Minor code upd + logo) on: December 10, 2013, 07:38:32 PM
Hmmm tried the weekend mining on rpool when i was AFK with both primeminer and jhprimeminer and after submitting several 10/11ch, hundreds of 8/9 ch and 1000's of 6/7ch i got exactly 0 DTC's... Now trying it on the specialized client build for Intel but this lack of a good pool, high difficulty for normal users and unclear info (what i see a lot with new alt coins (ex. unitecoin)) looks to me to keep others away from mining Sad

i'm not a n00b but it feels like this -> lets make it extra difficult for new users so we as foundation have a kickstart in coingeneration... this way clearly the foundation can say, we announced everything so its not a premine... but you get the point Smiley



I got your point. So here are answers.
1. Rpool looks like scam for many users, a lot of them complained about very low payouts. -> don't use DTC rpool.
2. Lack of good pool is not something that 'helps foundation'. Vice versa, it is not good for promotion, and we understand that. There are several miners now: original miner, Palmdetroit's miner (also released some weeks ago), jhPrimeminer (with mumus changes). You're free to create your own private pool  - there are enough possibilities just now.  Do you see many XPM pools? DTC mining has the same difficulties as XPM mining. Do you think that if it is so easy to get pools? Why there are only 3 XPM pools in that case (and rpool between them)?
3. 2 XPM pools (ypool and beeeer) declined adding DTC . So we need to do all this development from scratch. Main developer works at that. It will not take months, maybe days or few weeks.
I've been looking into the pool thingy, definitely needs to be open source. I looked at stratum+stratum-mining, however they are more SHA256 oriented than XPM/DTC. Unfortunately it gets worse, without some open source XPM/DTC miner, I have no way of knowing how everything works, what kind of data is needed.

If someone can provide me with some info, I'd continue with my experimentation.
1417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long until BTC gambling sides are shut down? on: December 10, 2013, 06:46:12 PM
They'll just move to alt coins or some other alternative currency.
Crypto-currency regulation would mean ANY crypto-currency. But I think gambling sites will just hide behind TOR, they don't handle fiat, so they don't need bank accounts.

hi,

I downloaded(link in 1st post) & compiled under windows(mingw) & try to get the genesis block. Unable to get:

Quote
Hash: 000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
Nonce: 2083236893
Unix time: 1231006505

Please advise. Thanks.

You need to preset the UNIX time variable and nonce to match the ones there, otherwise it will find a different one.

I believe that is https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0016.mediawiki P2SH, you can generate those with vanitygen I think.
