At the top of my head, CJS Keys accept funding your account with Bitcoin to buy Origin/Steam serial keys for games(legit of course).

Anyone can explain me the purpose of this variable?

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L993

Thanks a lot in advance!
I am not versed in the Bitcoin source code, but the network tries to keep Block generation at 2016 blocks per two weeks(6 per hour), due to variance this isn't possible to control entirely, but it tries. If 2016 blocks took less than two weeks, the difficulty goes up, likewise if it took longer than 2 weeks, it goes down. So the variable is used to determine that somewhere I guess.

1485  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How does a site like Blockchain.info know which outputs are change? on: November 29, 2013, 03:44:11 AM
Blockchain.info is very misleading.

The estimated transaction volume is trite, pure utter guess work.

Someone could buy a coffee and it could show up as a $100,000,000 transaction.

Also the IP address stuff is crap too, so misleading. The ip is the node that relays the transaction to the blockchain node and in no way represents where the actual transaction originated from.
Really? I actually tracked this guy that mined on top of the genesis blocks(orphans duh) using the IP address on the site, and he confirmed it was him.

What happens if someone was to generate an address with 1BTC in it?
I actually think this is the biggest flaw in bitcoin, and one of the few things that would crash the price to 0.

As i understand the walled uses elyptic curve algorithms starting from a set of "pseudorandom data" the most random of them is, mouse, certain computer stats and time.

Could it be possible that someone creates a program that generates millions of address and verify's them against the blockchain. ?
 I think this already happens (mainly with brain wallets and using a dictionary attack but also deep space vagabond program), so far no reports of stolen bitcoins,
but it in theory could happen.

in the future there will be asics for alt-coins , maybe one of them is proved to be safe agains this kind of attack. then btc will just upgrade to it.

Thank you for the read it was interesting. But my question still stands. What happens if someone was to generate an address with 1BTC in it? If that question is to hard for you to answer or out of your bitcoin understanding  I would appreciate if you kept your presumptuous comments to your self.

That staff tag worries me.

Statistically unlikely but it is still possible.

I hope that people are not so short-sited that they fail to understand how devastating the wrong address getting randomly generated would be to the network. If the "generator" of the previously owned address gains full control of the wallet how can we go about securing against these attacks?

If you generate an address with 1BTC, you can spend it, yes. Or you can ignore it.

However, it's been said many times. Even if you generate one trillion addresses per second for a 1000 years you still probably wouldn't hit a key with a balance.

I'll look into it. Please send me your wallet.exe file at info.us@avira.com, I'll come back to you.

Is that even your email dude? looks like you either work for an antivirus company or you're trolling me..

ok this is the last time i come on this forum so sleep deprived... first post i was soo cautious about giving the wallet out, then i give it to the first guy that posts...

(i did look at your trust rating and you seem ok, just these other people making me worry)

i know in normal circumstances i wouldn't give out any wallet.dat, especially to someone who referred to it as wallet.exe.. hmmmm.  in hindsight it probably wasn't a great idea sending it, but I WANT ANSWERS....

and i am a man of my word, if you show me how to recover the bitcoins if there is any i will send half of them to you.

and now i'll have to consider all these addresses compromised and never use them again.  ill make sure to label the wallet accordingly.


If the transactions never got sent, and stay unconfirmed, you can remove them with pywallet. It's a free python tool.

If you don't have up to par mining equip, you should pool, am I right?
You can do whatever you want. If you are feeling lucky, you can even mine with 3Mh/s. If you want predictable and guaranteed income, then pooling.

To be more precise the error is:

fopen(http://.../): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Can you provide a link to this jsonRPC library? Also, look, it's trying to fopen something and is failing.
1496  Economy / Gambling / Re: Satoshidice 50% address ripping me off. on: November 27, 2013, 05:48:45 AM
It's impossible for SatoshiDice to 'rip you off' without you being able to verify they were doing exactly that. Your rolls are determined by the TXID which SatoshiDice has no control over. As Biz said, wait for the secret to be revealed. Once it is you will be able to calculate exactly what your rolls should have been, and I'm certain they'll match up to what you were given.

Keep in mind, 8 losses in a row isn't improbable and bettors should never feel invincible martingaling.

8 lossess in a row is nothing, agreed, but Ived lost about 25-30 consecutlively.

How exactly do I do that process Stunna; of verifying the numbers rolled with the secret ID?


BTW I think I am going to switch entirely from SD to PD from now on.... ( Oh yea, while you're here, I am still awaiting my payment for my sig btw. I started in Oct 12th I believe, lost my acct for 1/2 month)
I have lost 16 times in a row martingaling, I busted at 15 loss streak martingaling, deposit my last bitcoins, martingale for a few minutes and hit a 16 loss streak within minutes. So yes, not improbable, very possible. I lost a few bitcoins, but I moved on.

As for PrimeDice, please view this thread. I have not accused them of manipulation, but outline that it's very much possible,

Yes, its what I "Think".  Kinda like you "Think " he is posting on the forum still.  Neither of us "Know"
I do think he is visiting the forums, but don't think he is posting for obvious reasons.

Hi Satoshi!!!

1500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to pay the fee? on: November 25, 2013, 07:13:28 AM
when all 21m coins have been mined, transaction fees will supposedly be valuable enough to continue the act of mining and adding compute power to the network. transaction fees are desirable.

Actually I think they'll be considerably higher than that considering what I anticipate the value of Bitcoin to be at that time. Mining fees will need to be reduced considerably for Bitcoin processing to remain "cheaper than alternatives" when Bitcoin goes north of US$10K, or the per-coin transaction fee will be 80 cents.  Even for smallish purchases there are usually at least 3-4 txid's involved, so is a "usual" transaction fee of $2.40 or $3.20 per transaction entirely reasonable for processing each and every one of your daily purchases?  Bearing in mind that today credit card companies are doing it for a nickel or so plus 1% of the transaction amount?

So save that dust; if they do reduce transaction fees in the future, it may become spendable again.
While people that shop with credit cards and whatnot get charged a fee, those that shop with cash don't. Point is, while I can see the need to pay a fee for a cross-city or cross-country transaction, it's really unreasonable to pay the fee for a transaction you made to the clerk in front of you.
