1501  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Link between DPR and Satoshi on: November 25, 2013, 12:50:19 AM
Just stumbled across this article:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/23/study-suggests-link-between-dread-pirate-roberts-and-satoshi-nakamoto/

Apparently one of Satoshi's early wallets transferred 1,000 BTC to DPR's wallet.

Does anyone have a link to said transaction? Thoughts?
Perhaps it's this one? https://blockchain.info/tx/2ccc3f59d28c709770a8bc478b112e10feda4bf55197c2e48deaa0eb6bca0311

According to the article, the transfer was made on March 20th, 2013 from "an account...that had been created in January 2009". Perhaps that means from an address that had been created in January 2009? Does that mean from a coin that was created in January 2009? Or just the address (in which case, it's address reuse which in my opinion implies that it probably isn't Satoshi)? Or maybe just some group of addresses that the researchers believe are linked together?

It's shoddy journalism, so it really could mean just about anything.
Nope, while addresses are not timestamped when created, the transaction that it appears in is timestamped.

Piuk, does your site have a Windows XP loading bar with the WinXP logo? I just opened your site and for a moment I was seeing the menu of the site and under it a blank page with the animated Windows XP logo and loading bar(when booting up).

And the earliest of the inputs is this one I think https://blockchain.info/tx-index/427/0. At that time, only a handful of people were mining including Satoshi.

Am I missing something? He won less than a BTC.

Look at the odds of winning...
I doubt that this was in a row, OP, did ya cut some stuff out? Tongue
The nonce needs to be looked at. Anyway, Snowden rained a few BTC to us(0.035 to be exact) when he bet 0.001 on 26000x and won 26 bitcoins.

@Stunna, perhaps after this ordeal you should look for a new host as suggested before.
1506  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it possible to send or receive bitcoin without any fees? on: November 23, 2013, 06:39:10 AM
A lot of miners will ignore transactions with no fees, especially if the coin age is low. Some transactions(and I mean very large ones) will get by without fees.

What kind of ghetto server are you guys on. I would never use one that has less than 99% uptime, down for days that's ridiculous.
Yeah, thank god this guy on Just-Dice had an awesome luck and gave some of us some bitcoins, almost the same amount I had on PD, so even if the operator runs, I at least sort of have my coins back. I will wait for PD to open and hopefully my coins will be there.

Always check ten times before clicking a link

Eleven times is even better!

That's why mine go up to eleven:


I am going to guess and say this is from Back in the Future  Grin
1509  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies, don't forget to include fees when sending money. on: November 22, 2013, 09:22:11 PM
Thanks for the heads up! What's the longest wait someone has seen if they haven't included a fee when sending money? Just kind of curious because in some cases I'm sure it's not a big deal, but other times you would actually like your coins transferred quicker.
Easily days, sometimes even never. Of course, once miners "forget" about the transaction(when it doesn't go through) after a small tweak you can put your coins back in your wallet and re-spend them. It means your coins don't get lost if your transaction doesn't get confirmed.
1510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 194,993 BTC transaction on: November 22, 2013, 06:25:16 PM
going back to the earliest transaction won't be much of a clue. you don't know how many times and if those coins ever changed hands or not.

it could however provide some ideas though
True. I am wondering if it isn't that lazslo guy, that bought two pizza for 10k BTC. Since he donated 500btc to the faucet, and I saw he posted something like that, and it is around the same time.
1511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 194,993 BTC transaction on: November 22, 2013, 06:15:40 PM
Could this be satoshi? Some of the inputs(and I mean from going backwards and backwards in the trace) are as old 2010 February and owned by a single miner who donated 500btc to a faucet once.

Doubt it.

Probably just an old miner or entrepreneur, early adopter with capital willing to risk.
I followed more, and he has mined blocks as far as December 25 2009, crazy.

Some of the inputs of the outputs are quite old, as old as 2011 June. Edit, looks like an old miner.

1515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 194,993 BTC transaction on: November 22, 2013, 05:54:23 PM
I rounded it up to 195,000*750 usd it is = 146,250,000 USD
1516  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: SHAME THREAD on: November 22, 2013, 05:34:08 PM
I'm ashamed of myself.
Simply because I missed out on the early days of bitcoin even though I used to see posts about it all over the net.
I was too busy getting laid instead of getting paid. I could be rich right now because I first heard of bitcoin in 2010.
When it was still young. I thought it was like second life lindens or some shit. virtual currency was a joke or gimmick in my mind.
Now the jokes on me. I'm a Digital Dude. I even update my firmware, however I let my knowledge go to waste not taking BTC seriously.
I just recently stopped looking and watching bitcoin and bought in. I was already too late to the party. I am still enjoying myself nonetheless.
I must admit that I am quite a bit butthurt that I slept on bits when they were $12.
I could be driving a Tesla model s past the gas station right now instead of a crappy Toyota Corolla into it.
Now I believe in bitcoin 300%.
I bought in @ $167 and now they're almost $800.
FACEPALM.
I need to make friends with rich bitcoin nerds and learn how to @ least become a Satoshi-naire  Cry LOL
If you wanna help a brotha out my address is in my sig.
but for right now all I can do is try to sell beats for bitcoin with my po boy ass.
I made this thread for all BTC noobs to come share their pain.

LMAO Grin

I feel you. First heard of Bitcoin early 2011, but I didn't invest because I found it to be to much work (well, I didn't look really close, I just read some technical stuff about it and I didn't understand much), but I heard of it again in late 2012 and even though I haven't invested I find it to be fascinating and I believe in bitcoin. I still though regret that I didn't invest in 2011, or atleast in 2012! Sad
We all have regrets. I first learned of Bitcoin back in April 2011, I mined since then and even found two blocks, with incredible luck(yay I helped bitcoin). But even I regret I found so late, yes 2011 was too late. But at the same time I would've sold all my bitcoins in 2011 June at the $30 price jump, or maybe even waay before that. A couple of months ago I gambled and lost 2.15 btc, I regret that. I also regret selling 1500 litecoins back in 2012 April, I could've had much more than I got back then.

Everything is good in moderation. But to say excessive exercise is more unhealthy than lack of exercise is pretty silly. It takes an enormous  amount of effort to reach a point where it starts to become unhealthy to exercise too much. However many people have a problem with lack of exercise. Even the top athletes in the world have a workout regimen and know their limits, but normal fitness people are restricted by time and other things in their life. Go on and exercise hard.
I thought the idea was to push your limits.

Look at the error message, the problem is your IP. And then look to my posting times.

Solution: Change your IP Wink
I don't think you are supposed to evade this.
1519  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Between posting times on: November 22, 2013, 04:56:40 PM
Probably because people new to Bitcoin will start asking questions that have been asked a million times, like "What if I alter the code of Bitcoin to give myself more money" or things like that. Or "What if I generate the same address as someone else"
