Although I was not a big fan of KAT, I have to answer to this post about the "victims of this criminal".
The main victims are the big studios, which, instead of making DVDs 10x cheaper, they pay millions to actors for looking good and saying a couple of lines. Then complain about stealing. Sorry, I don't pity them.

All the BTC are not in 'a wallet'. They are spread out and a lot are not online or with private keys lost forever. So the answer is NO.

If you'd make your own coin clone then you may be able to achieve that (mine it all by yourself), although I am not certain about the amount in the genesis block. And I don't understand the purpose of this. If you own them all, you just render them useless and with no value.

I believe that this is a joke. Newbie with such a big income in BTC....

However.... if you plan to use this money in the near future, a hardware wallet would be the way.
But since you don't... I'd say you generate (make sure you do that safely!!) a fair number of paper wallets, laminate them and fill them with your BTC.
Try to not keep them all in the same place.

Why this? Because your computer may get hacked or corrupted, an USb stick with hardware wallet will not live forever, but the paper inside plastic is a pretty safe and long term choice.

Bitcoin is not anonymous. And that allows such behavoirs.
Use your own wallet. Use anonymous coins or mixers. Use the services like Coinbase only as exchange.
Then you will have your privacy and no one will be able to interfere.

If it's acceptable to use the current vanitygen command line with one output file and split that file afterwards in the 2 files you want, this would beich easier to achieve and you can find very easily somebody to help you out with the (after)splitting.

And it should be much safer too...

First make sure you have the backup for the correct wallet.
Second, make sure the blockchain has synced, that takes a lot.
And third, make sure you copied your backup in the right place  (and bitcoin client was stopped).

Found the one I've missed, following all 3. In a few days I'll be back on desktop and such problems should not occur anymore.

Thank you

Exactly my thoughts, just I was not sure. And this makes the predictions on how many miners will be disconnected even harder.

I think that the diff will still rise since people will not necessarily mine for today's profit and will not disconnect that easy.

And don't forget the pretty good % of "dreamers" who keep mining no matter what.

Does anybody have a stats of USB miners still on?
And I guess that a lot of other old miners are in the same situation.

....or am I giving them too much credit?

I didn't say it IS a scam. I said IT CAN BE one.
If this would have happen ed 2 weeks ago or will still go in 1-2 weeks for now, I may give it a second look. The current time frame is not great for me.
And again, this too much secrecy makes me worry.

Could you be so nice to tell which rule I'm not following? I double checked and I seem to follow all the written ones... Thanks.

I honestly find this rather fishy.
Why can't OP just say 'I want you to do this and that, I'll pay this and that much'?

Too much secrets and PM can easily lead to scams.

I predict only 850 $. And I dare to say that a rather big drop of the price may also happen until Jan 1, 2017, so my 850$ would be quite a recovery.

The numbers do really match with the previous payment, but since my post count has a pretty good chance to be exactly that, I couldn't say...

About a spreadsheet... we still need Marco to do it. And when he comes to fix the things, the payments get up-to-date fast. So we need, as usual, only Marco. But since it's the holidays season, we may need even more patience...

I've got a new payment. But, again, I'm not sure what it is for. Bitsig is not reset (and the numbers don't match) so it may be the bonus.

It's not 100% confirmed, from what I've read, but... wtf, is this for real? In a NATO country?

This may affect quite a lot what's going to happen with the refugees trying to reach Europe...

And I don't want to think what's in the hearths of those preparing to go to Turkey this summer (or they're there)...

Many still mine because they believe in Bitcoin rise. On paper BTC still has a chance to get to over $100k.

Since OP has only a laptop to mine with, the most profitable is to actually buy bitcoin.
Most coins he'd try to mine would eat up too much power to get any profit and he has a huge chance to burn his GPU.

So imho, some coins very easy to mine, for which OP could mine just a couple of hours now and then, only to see what's all about, would be the way to go.
I'd advise OP to also keep an eye on Espers. It may be easy to mine too, I didn't try, but from time to time they give out big amount of coins. They don't actually worth much, but you can play with sending / receiving, market and whatever you'd like to learn.

Heh , I'm trying, I'm trying... no luck though yet...
