The bot was reset. I don't know if I should find it funny, but it behaves like the campaign would continue to run.
I guess that the payments will come in the next 24h, if the things go well.

Maybe we'll get an announcement that the campaign actually still continues? Cheesy

Hi,
Although it's good to see new exchanges, I have a few concerns:
* do you have a licence, what would make me trust you to transfer money or coins to your site?
* do I really have to log in to see what's traded there?!? Why?!?
* what will be your site earning if your fees are 0?

thank you


Edit:
First of all thanks for the satoshi, they came.
I liked the fact the site has shown "Waiting for bitcoin network to confirm +1.1 mBTC ..." and the sound signal when the confirmation came.

I didn't like that I had to click again after winning. I think that you should show the wins and the loses nice and big, but in a place you don't have to click.
What the value boxes (that add value or set to 1/2, 1/4) are not very intuitive. For example I was expecting 1/2 to make the bet half of the last bet, not half of my money.

I can't say more because I gambled all those money  Grin
It was fun, thank you.

OP, you've added me to the "under 500 followers" list, while I clearly have more than 500.
Could you please fix?
Thanks.


Edit: thanks for the quick fix

I was so happy that this miner works on my computer (Nehalem, Windows), but it was too early.
I did test with your 3.4.3 and 3.4.4 too and Cryptonight is.. slow. And I talk about what the pools report to me.
The miner reports 45-55 H/s and the pool about half of it.

I tried long ago Wolf's miner and I had a similar (slowness) issue and I had to abandon it.
For some reason the very old cpuminer-multi 1.0.3 (https://github.com/lucasjones/cpuminer-multi/releases) still works best for me.

I don't know if it makes sense for you to invest time into this, but I thought it's better you know about it.

If a transaction has 0 confirmations, basically it can be easily double spent: the scammer has to send the same inputs with higher fee somewhere else.
Then you get nothing.

It happened last week, it was quite a buzz, research for it.

Really? Never heard it before, you mean double spend attack? But how can he gets nothing?

Because the attacker loses only the fee of the highest paid transaction and the money is only sent and confirmed (to another or attacker's addresses) in the second transaction.
I also found the link of what happened. From what I see it was 2 days ago, I thought it was more. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4zxu9u/psa_our_business_got_hit_with_a_double_spend_scam/


@NeuroticFish
@1Referee

Can you explain why this is wrong? http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/23045
Im interested to allow like <$10 transactions to be 0 confirmations

I found the discussion in that link incorrect. The easiest double spend is done with same wallet cloned on 2 computers.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4zxu9u/psa_our_business_got_hit_with_a_double_spend_scam/d6zm2rw

And if you want to be certain the scam works, you better make a script (to ensure the inputs) and pay much bigger fee in the 2nd transaction.


Bottom line: you need at least one confirmation. If there's no confirmation, you leave plenty of room to get scammed.

Monero is only added to one darknet site that will end up going down and killing monero anyway. Just your everyday pump to the moon before the exit scam that will happen and leave happy bagholders. I don't really look far into any coin taking over Bitcoin, because I don't believe it lol

I tend to disagree.
While altcoins cannot replace Bitcoin, some have they use in the real world and can coexist very good with Bitcoin.
It's a tiny niche which will never really threaten Bitcoin, but it's there.

In the case you said, Monero is fit for that job and I think that it has its future in that; it's the niche for Monero.
It will kill Monero? Maybe, but I don't see how. Maybe governments will ban it, but I don't see how and why, it's a rather small market.
14711  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's alternative. on: August 30, 2016, 06:56:09 AM
I have been thinking about this and thought to put it here what's on my mind.
Just think that if some other altcoin has the potential to take place of bitcoins, like people are talking about Monero to take its place because of its privacy and security, what would happen to bitcoins? Is there any altcoin currently which can do this? And if yes, what would be the effect on bitcoins?

While there is a chance that an altcoin could take bitcoin's place, that chance is very small in the near future.

Yes, bitcoin has some possible problems: block times are big (would you use Mastercard if you'd have to wait 20 minutes to confirm your payment?), past flood tests shown that the network cannot handle well a huge spike in the number of the transactions (one reason being the pools that sometimes don't include as many transactions as they should, another reason the block size).
Bitcoin is, unlike people thought at first, not fully anonymous.

I know for sure (99%) that Dogecoin has much better block times.
I know for sure (99%) that Monero and other coins are anonymous.
These are things that give them an edge.


But neither of them have the strong network Bitcoin has. Dogecoin even experienced the fear of 51% attack; luckily it didn't happen.
There's no altcoin with the strength Bitcoin has. And while this holds true, there's no alternative to bitcoin.
14712  Economy / Services / Re: Recover a Yahoo Mail acct? on: August 29, 2016, 02:27:02 PM
Elderly couple visited today, spoke about a yahoo mail account that they've been unable to access after forgetting their password and trying all avenues. They've already given up on the account and he says there is nothing valuable there ... but I'm thinking they may have lost pictures, old messages & memories.

Wondering if someone here has a way to recover the account password, cheap? If there is a massive database of stolen acct/password combos floating around the darknet, maybe someone could look this one up for us?

I'm not prepared to pay a lot for this. But if someone could do it easily, please let me know via PM.

In my eyes this is more like an excuse to get somebody to hack an account for you.
If the account really belongs to somebody you know, you can help them try out all the options to recover the account and if that doesn't give any result, trying to discuss with their support is the next step to make.

If this helps, yahoo was hacked a number of times. So if it's an old enough account, the password is on black market too. Trying to remember the password is the most useless thing to do in such cases. Password recovery is the way.

But again, hacking the account to "make a surprise" sounds strange.

Very interesting result. And I think it's good that the difficulty didn't rise much (although I really thought it will).
Also I think that we have a winner too (Congrats!), but it's Philip's part to confirm it since it's his show.

This is not MtGox, this is just a small scale scam/ponzi.
And I think that most of the ones "investing" in this were aware that it's going to fall, rather sooner than later.

If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house?

Ive been thinking if it went into very high figures i could cash out 80-90% of bitcoin and buy a house outright with no mortgage.  Is that even a good idea though? - basically 80% of networth in a house hmmm.  On the other hand i dont want to have a mortgage and im fed up with renting due to landlords, letting agents and lack of control.

I would definitely buy a house and, if possible, some land too.
While the population on Earth grows, houses and land should get more and more expensive. And it's also a shelter for you, saving you from another expenses and trouble (landlords and agents).

14717  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Files ecnrypted with .globe exension requesting 1.5BTC to decrypt on: August 29, 2016, 10:28:38 AM
OK,


A little update

It seems the files were in process of encrypting
because now all the files look like this

biletetrimitere_document.rpt.id-99XXX999.legioner_seven@aol.com.xtbl

where 99XXX999 is some sort of id ....

also the readme file has dissapeared .... now who the fuck should I contact?


STOP USING THAT OS! Clone the HDD!
Clear enough?

And with the right tool, especially since you know where the file was located and what was its name, you can recover it.
But please, ask for help, you obviously don't know enough to help yourself on this. You don't have anybody near you that you trust and can help you out?

That PC is shut down and the HDD is shipped to me as we speak.

It will reach me in about 1 hour or something like that.

I didn't did any steps as I'm not the one who has to perform that operations!

I'm more concerned about the data on that HDD.

Can someone tell me what tools should I have ready when the HDD reaches me?

I can delay it for 30-45 minutes and not telling the person who should "save it" that it did arrive at me!

Thanks

Although I didn't do this operation for a few years now, I'd recommend Hiren's BootCD. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
The CD should have at least tools to clone a HDD (I used back then Norton Ghost), tools to recover files (recuva) and antivirus tools.
14718  Other / Politics & Society / Re: France, Germany want limits on encryption to fight terrorism on: August 29, 2016, 10:19:10 AM
I also agree that the forces in countries like Ireland or Israel know much better what to do against terrorism. From prevention to what to do if it happens (even minimize the media coverage!!).
But that doesn't mean the countries are safer.

"Unsafe" is defined more on the terrorist's desire to go there and make boom. The fact that some countries can prevent 90% of terrorist attack means nothing if the attempts are 10x more than in another, weaker defended country.

I think that one of the safest places is Svalbard, but that doesn't mean I'd live there.
