Have I ever mentioned that we need a mascot for the forum? Kind of like how Uncle Sam represents the American government.
Coming from 4chan, I've been disappointed that there's very little fanart for bitcointalk.org. (Though it's not surprising, since 4chan is an imageboard and this is a text-focused BBS-type forum.) If I'm not mistaken, there was a bounty looking for suggestions to promote Bitcoin. Both in bitcointalk and in /r/bitcoin. It could have a contest to select a mascot and then print stickers. 100,000 stickers cost less than 1Btc on this site. Probably must have other sites that offer an even lower cost, the difficulty could be the distribution, though... And I imagine that similar suggestions have been made before. The Bitcoin symbol already attracts a lot of attention when we come across it in some unexpected places. |

I like the image that Greg Maxwell uses in his avatar. Although I do not know exactly what it represents, for me is trying to demonstrate what is a block. We do not have an icon that could demonstrate what is a blockchain, and if you think well, we do not have an icon for the internet. What you could do is always show something that is related to the subject that you are talking about.  |

He was pissed. Angry about the current system. And for that reason, he worked so much time alone and then in the company of a few people. Many others who came close to creating something similar had a different approach. They thought totally in a theoretical way, far from reality. They did not have as the main motivation to attract more people, they wanted more recognition or money.
Satoshi wanted that his idea was spread, eroding the system.
He even complained when a single person was mining too much, making it difficult for others to mine too. laszlo commented on having received a message from him complaining about it. Even today it is possible to understand how this is unique. As a large part of the projects are centralized, driven by profit and short-term visions.
In addition, Bitcoin is the best project to date. It's the safest, the least buggy, and the best name for something like that.

How will you invest in something if you do not foresee the future of this asset? You need to find some logic to get an idea of the amount you should pay.
For example: I believe that Bitcoin has a large market as a store of value. So I predict that it will come to have a market value close to similar assets like gold and silver. I also predict that with LN it will be a great payment alternative between different currencies, like Dollar - yen. So I imagine it will cost at least 20% of this market.
With this I can also predict projects that have another purpose. As for example Cardano, which I believe will be the best solution for smart contracts. There is a whole niche market in this sense that has not yet been explored. International negotiations, service constraints, etc.
These markets are worth trillions of dollars. Which would put these projects with a value at least 10 times higher than the current one.

thenextWebFledgling cryptocurrency EOS can’t seem to catch a break. Over the weekend, top block producer, EOS New York, took to Twitter to notify users that several other block producers had crashed due to a RAM-related complication. It appears that shortly after the overall RAM usage on the platform passed the 1GB mark, the nodes of a number of block producers – the EOS equivalent of Bitcoin miners – suddenly crashed. The malfunction occurred despite an agreement between block producers to support a maximum limit of 64GB. EOS New York has suggested the issue likely had to do with a failure to configure nodes accordingly. The block producer further added the mishap might be in violation of the reg producer agreement (put in place for accounts interested in registering as block producers). It was later confirmed that the RAM issue was the result of a faulty configuration, and not strictly a violation of the terms.

I believe a simple solution would be to charge a small fee for campaigns that do not use Bitcoin as a means of payment. The cost for campaigns promoting airdrops and other bounties using ERC-20 is minimal. So they do not have to worry at all about the quality of the post from their participants. They are most benefited by the spam that those users promote.
A fee would put a cost on those campaigns. The fee could even be partly refunded if everything went well with the campaign and it was considered spam-free.

WSJ Profiles of four “crypto hunters” who use a variety of methods, from specialized software to hypnosis, to recover lost cryptocurrency and stop crypto crimeThink of them as the metal detectors of the digital age. Instead of combing beaches for gold, these experts use everything from supercomputers to hypnotherapy to reunite people with their lost cryptocurrency. According to Chainalysis, a blockchain-analysis firm based in New York City, about a fifth of all bitcoin—around $20 billion—is lost, most of it permanently. When people purchase bitcoin, the details of their transactions are stored in software called a “wallet,” which they can unlock with a personal-identification number. Unlike an ATM PIN, this password can’t be recovered easily, since there is no bank to retrieve it. In the early 2010s, when bitcoin was trading under $10, some investors were careless with their PINs. Now that the currency is trading around $6,000, a waylaid slip of paper, misplaced USB drive or damaged hard drive containing a password could be the key to a small fortune. (Bitcoin makes up the majority of missing cryptocurrency because it existed before the recent explosion in value, Chainalysis said.) To the rescue: A small group of crypto hunters. Here, what they offer, how successful they are and what they cost.

BloombergAbout 56 percent of crypto startups that raise money through token sales die within four months of their initial coin offerings. That’s the finding of a Boston College study that analyzed the intensity of tweets from the startups’ Twitter accounts to infer signs of life. The researchers determined that only 44.2 percent of startups survive after 120 days from the end of their ICOs. The researchers, Hugo Benedetti and Leonard Kostovetsky, examined 2,390 ICOs that were completed before May. Acquiring coins in an ICO and selling them on the first day is the safest investment strategy, Kostovetsky said in a phone interview. But many individual investors can’t participate in ICOs, so this option isn’t open to them. Still, all investors should probably sell their coins within the first six months, the study found. "What we find is that once you go beyond three months, at most six months, they don’t outperform other cryptocurrencies," Kostovetsky said. "The strongest return is actually in the first month."

No need to get hostile, you have a decent question and I believe the bottomline answer to your question(s) is that: - YES, you can speak English in local boards, however;
- NO, you cannot speak other languages (aside from English) in boards other than local
I don't agree with above answers, it shouldn't allowed to post in English in local boards since other languages are not allowed in main boards. We don't want double standards.There is no prohibition in the rules on this, but I believe that local forums can and should establish a rule. The rule that exists is regarding the prohibition to use google translate. 26. Local thread rules, if stated properly when the thread was started, specific enough and don't conflict with the forum rules, have to be followed.[e]
27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.
As for the OP, it's sad that the quality of his writing in English has diminished over the time...  |

Ok so the quote that there are 2^96 private keys is wrong then
I realize this is an old discussion but this thread now appears towards the top of searches for "How many bitcoin addresses are there." Here are some exact numbers for Bitcoin and Ethereum... and all of their relatives. The total possible number of addresses is exactly 2^160. As a decimal number (what most people consider "normal") this is 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,975. As a hexidecimal, this number is: FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF The total possible private keys is frequently listed as 2^256 and for all sensible discussion, this is correct. However, technically there are a few less because of the secp256k1 Curve usage. Below is the exact amount of private keys that can be used. (I'm comparing them against the 2^256 just to illustrate how inconsequential the difference is) Decimal
115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,852,837,564,279,074,904,382,605,163,141,518,161,494,336 (actual private key maximum)
115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,935 (2^256)
Hexidecimal
FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4140 (actual private key maximum)
FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF (2^256)
Going back to the discussion of how long it would take to brute force attack a specific address -- quite simply not possible with today's technology. The quote of 2^96 represented how many potential PRIVATE keys would work for a single PUBLIC key (not how many total private keys were there). A brute force attack would require an approach of using all 2^256 since there's no way to tell if a private key will generate an address that's been used or not. At some point (2^200?) all 2^160 addresses would be accounted for, but again, impossible with today's technology. I hope it's not a totally stupid question. But has bech32 changed anything about this number of public addresses? I think the private keys do not change anything, right? Since they follow the same pattern. |

People need to immediately stop using dollar bills. 90% of them have traces of cocaine. Worse, 98% have traits of poop. Dolar is the currency most historically used for illegal activities. Comparatively, it is much more likely that a $ 100 bill was used at some point for illegal activity than a Bitcoin address. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/14/cocaine.traces.money/ |

I do not believe that in this forum there is room to discuss this coin. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin. It is a centralized virtual currency, equal to the currencies used in any game. Bitcoin was created to end the coercive and monopolistic power of governments and banks. So people could exchange value without relying on a third player.
