now i get it, so how miners figure out this problem? I mean how they can make sure that they are not mining a transaction which is mined before?
When a block is mined, there is some sort of "winner block", that one and only one will be added to the block chain, that one will be referred by the next block. If the transaction is there, it's fine, else it will have to wait until it's included into a "winner" block.
If different miners decide for a different "winner" block, then a FORK is made. That's rather unusual and rather soon the wrong fork is discarded.
Edit: the next post is better explained |

So, what do you think will be the price on that day? Are we going to be happy or are we going to be disappointed and why?
I expect the price to rise before halving, but not too much. At halving the price would be the same as the day before. I also expect that after the halving the price may drop a little, because of the end-of-bubble, but since the miners will still hodl, the price will rise back for a while. I am going to be happy, because I expect to be at seaside those days, probably with no internet connection. And for me no internet = less stress = more happiness. But back to the subject, if the price rises too much I'll be mad on myself I didn't buy more BTC |

Who here doesn't care what happens with bitcoin as long as you can use them to make money, all the other drama doesn't really matter right?
All I care about is getting that $$$$ in my hands at the end of the day, everything else is irrelevant
I think that there are quite a good number (%) of the active users. However, I think that sooner or later the Bitcoin virus catches them and they start to care  |

The new signatures are looking just great!
Marco, don't forget to delete or to strike through the "September 6 - NEW SIGNATURES! Please Update Them! Thank you." line and put one about the Coinsbank signatures.

Since you are beginner, there are 2 important things to think about:
1. Electricity cost.
2. Bitcoin Halving.
Both affect a lot the calculation to be made if it's worth to mine. Because it may be cheaper to buy the Bitcoin and hold it than mine it.

I really didn't expect that preview works and post doesn't...

I may be wrong, but please check:
Line 441 ends a good table.
Line 469 contains TR and then other table parts, but no table has started.
You're right, but that didn't fix the post either. You can try yourself, maybe you find a working solution. @OP: If you try to post the whole thing, and then edit it afterwards, you will see that it get's cut off after the following text: "ΥΠΟΛΟΓΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΗ]" Another thing I've noticed is, that you're pretty "wasteful" in terms of lines with your BBCode, trying to compress would be another possible solution. I did a test and for me it works. I made a fixed version here http://pastebin.com/umU2XDSPseems to work fine here... no stray BBcode tags when I previewed it.
You made me think of something: I use Chrome browser. Maybe some other browser is more memory limited? |

This is hilarious! The largest owner of bitcoins is the CIA and US Treasury--maybe the US can use bitcoins to pay off debt to Chinese?  That would be very funny indeed! To pay back the debt with the Bitcoin, while China is the biggest miner for Bitcoin. |

There's already a service for this: bitcoinvanitygen.com
This means that you'll really need more trust and also lower price than the existing service.
The service has NO trust at all, in fact, it's been often discussed (and IIRC even proven) that the service is indeed nothing but scam. I don't know why people bring them up again and again (I've often warned others about that site after the next guy 'suggested' using them...) You missed this: 2. Using any 3rd party for creating a wallet is a security risk people already know and not many are willing to take.
I tried to say nicely that it's not worth the risk to ask somebody else to generate an address for you. Sooner or later people will try to steal if you give them the opportunity. I didn't know, but from Lutpin said it looks like the vanitygen website already tried that. Updade: I see that Lutpin edited his post. Should I delete this one? |

Is lmgtfy.com giving some pennies from their revenue to fund the fight against brain cancer or what? Can you please give us more information? That was a trolling post for sure. For russian-speaking part of internet, "brain cancer" is a colloquial synonym of stupidity, negligence and so on. Mostly used by grammar nazi, trolls or by those who have tired of someone's persistent presence. Thank you. I seem to need to improve my English after all  |

OP, I'd like to point out 2 things:
1. There's already a service for this: bitcoinvanitygen.com
This means that you'll really need more trust and also lower price than the existing service.
2. Using any 3rd party for creating a wallet is a security risk people already know and not many are willing to take.
While you can run a program (publicly available) to generate vanity address, most will do that in the privacy of their own computer.
So I'd think of better services to offer.....

BE HONEST !!!
ITS ANONYMOUS SO NOBODY WILL KNOW WHICH ONE YOU ARE
Coiner = Holds over 1BTC in cold storage, and has at least another BTC to play with on daily basis.
BitBoy = has held at least 1 BTC at some point, but never reached coiner status
SatFlap = has never had 1 BTC in their possesion
Since I see the BTC I have in alts don't matter, I can say that I am a SatFlap. But I promise I'll fix this |

Just a reminder
Its not safe to use USB sticks or SSDs for long term storage they lose data over time if they are not powered!
You can't just stick your private keys on a few USB sticks or SSD and box them up for 4 - 8 years you will lose all your coins.
For long term storage have at least 3 backups paper wallets or HDDs. You can even use something like DropBox But be sure to encrypt your wallet and change the name.
You can even hide your wallet inside a image file.
I've said this a few times, but not this clear, so I'd add a well done here. My usual advice is to keep the private keys in (laminated) paper wallets. This would be the safest copy, the primary copy. For commodity you can still keep a secondary copy on USB sticks, just after some 1-2 years you should move the data on another stick, else you can lose it. Since dropbox also came into discussion, I'd advise for tresorit.com or similar cloud storage providers: the ones that offer end-to-end encryption, which (at least on paper) means that whoever reads their server cannot see your data plainly (like in the case of dropbox). |

These are the last 2 blocks. It had a long pause but hopefully it's OK now.

If it sounds silly and it looks silly most probably it is silly.
All you want to imply is that there's only black and white, no other choice. I know, it sounds scary that you cannot, in theory, have secrets. But that's only in theory. Nothing can be monitored perfectly. From the point that some things happened in places inaccessible for the ones that do the monitoring to the point there's so much information that it doesn't matter they do the monitoring or not, they cannot find you unless they look express for you or you draw attention. Some years ago it was said that mails are monitored and certain words like bomb, meth, "rang the alarm". From maybe millions of mails sent each second.. what can they find? Hmm? And then add up all the other means to find your secrets. What do they do? Search for needles in the haystack. A huge haystack. So, back to start. Imho you have your secrets, they have theirs. They have the good reasons to find yours if they can harm "the country". You don't have good reasons to find theirs. If you are like 99.999% of us, then let them try to do the monitoring they want; you will not be caught in their patterns, they will not care of your secrets. |

You're at liberty to express your opinions. We all are.
Thank you. Craig signed a brand new message, on camera. The BBC edited this out of their presentation because:
1. the whole world would have been able to verify it by using the code generated by the signed message
2. this would not bring cohesion to the image they'd like to portray of Craig White
Interesting theory. If you also have a proof, it can get even more interesting. Alls i'm saying is there are powers that have been controlling society for centuries
I tend to somehow agree with this, though I wouldn't bring it to the level you are implying. So whilst Craig is still alive, we should all respect him for what he has done. He is the true rebel that most people here can only WISH they were
I would respect him if he would have convinced me. Unfortunately, all the evidence I have tells that this guy is a fraud, though a fraud that may have known "Satoshi"... |

There are too many problems with MRAIs.
I am sure that once this latest issue is solved and that the faucet is turned on again, there will be another thing that will go wrong and will cause another stoppage.
It would be best for the developer to take his time and only release MRAIS after extensive testing- meaning after a few months.
For now MRAIS is dead.
The only people who are keeping the trade alive are those who have been accumulating previously and now they are all trying to get rid of their stash by hyping it.
But it's dead.
Anyone buying now is stupid as there are much better coins out there at the moment.
MRAIS are not just ready yet.
From what I've read, it doesn't look as dead as you'd claim. Look: Thanks for the discussion and enthusiasm about RaiBlocks everyone. We're nearly finished with faucet maintenance and website updates. The delay is because we're ensuring everything is stable before we open the floodgates again. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned.
From what I see this thread became a speculation thread, more than a trading one.. |

.. whatever, I hope you've got my point.
I've got your point. Let me summarize it: - everybody can have secrets and that is OK - NSA have secrets and taxpayers are not allowed to know them because taxpayers will not be safe if they know them. - If taxpayers have secrets NSA have the right to know them because taxpayers will be safe if NSA know their secrets However silly it sounds, yes, this is the big picture. The other alternative would be the Eden: no secrets at all, we all go naked, nothing wrong will happen. I guess that this is what you'd like. Oh well, the sad truth is that some say that there was a snake in Eden and then everything was ruined. |
