1561  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a way to build a wallet generator till you hit the jackpot ? on: November 14, 2013, 02:48:27 PM
This is not possible. Sorry to disappoint you.


Yes it's 100% possible to build a generator.
Yes it's possible to hit a jackpot with it , but chances are 0.00000... my fingers hurt... 1%

Second , people like to cling on that 2^256 , which is not quite right.
Let's assume for instance there are only 10000 combinations. And the most advanced supercomputer is doing 1/second Cheesy.
John has password 1823 , Jerome 5674 , and Maya 7777.
Well , it didn't take 10000 seconds for their passwords to get cracked right?

Same with passkeys , some will be safe till the dinosaurs are hit again by an asteroid , thousands of them are cracked right this second.
Also , do you know the amount of passkeys is not equal to the amount of addresses? Cheesy
Just a though about how secure your password might be.
Still, there are only 2^160 possible addresses from the 2^256 pool due to RIPEMD-160.

Last night I bought a CM Storm Spawn and blatantly asked this online retail shop to sell me the CM QuickFire Rapid Red for half price because my budget was small.

Read this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253144.0 from what I gather, it is similar.

It is somewhat similar, but not quite. Sending a certain pre-generated client seed to the client's browser instead of using one created in the browser itself (using javascript) would be noticeable by someone observing the traffic.

That is a problem that all browser-based provably fair gambling sites have AFAIK.

Also I don't have the other problem mentioned there because I generate a new nonce/hash for every bet.
It was a server-side pre-generated seed, not client-side. Thus no way you can know.

That's the thing. You shouldn't generate anything.

I like to call it 'Margin Tail'

Like a dog chasing his tail to get a profit margin.
Most people call it Margin Fail though, as it's bound to fail.

Anything that is generated by the server allows the operator to manipulate. I can already see myself posting a thread in the future about this.

That is nothing, I lost 2.15 btc total at coinroll by martingaling. My highest was 16 loss streak after a 15 loss streak at 2x. If only I could get them back...

Just for the reference of anyone who thinks they can win a lot of money with this. Probably not Tongue Ouch! Got lucky on that last roll. Betting  $60 to win $.30...
That's nothing. Lost 2.15 btc martingaling once.

Well, a few days ago I deposited 0.10, lost them almost instantly. Sent 0.05 and through luck on 2x, got 0.05 back then 0.02X more. From then on I was battling 3 days to fix a -0.028 balance, today I finally did it with some 12k satoshi profit, but cashed out.

Here are some tips which may or may not help. Add these numbers

< 43000
< 55000
< 60000
< 64000

Bet with only these, but in 10k or 1k satoshis increments, martingale ONLY if necessary. Slow, but it takes time and patience. Sometimes you will juggle 200k back and forth for hours and hours.

Scrat, the win odds on your site are terrible, downright fake(they can't be though). Your website defied statistics and probability more times than I could count. I know you cannot manipulate the games, but perhaps you've chosen HMAC-SHA512 instead of SHA512 for a reason. Or the 1k min bet, when we should have access to full 8 decimal precision betting. There's a saying that the most transparent person is the one that is hiding something.
1571  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to lose 350 USD in a stupidity on: November 12, 2013, 06:48:43 PM
Well... Here I was planning to have some fun with BitZino... Threw some serious BTC on it, and started playing, hoping it would last an hour.

And then, 30 minutes later, input a extra zero, and bet 1000mBTC by mistake... and notice after I press the bet button, and end with 30mBTC

I look at the screen, shocked, sweating, looking for a surrender, cancel, undo, whatever button, thinking I must NOT lose this.

And then I get dealed a TERRIBLE hand.

Poof, that is how you lose 350 USD in a stupidity.

Now I think cassinos should have a feature that warns you that you are betting 10 times or more than the average of your last bets and ask confirmation... Just in case you pressed a extra zero Sad

How long have you been playing? I used to think it's the best but it became way to old to quick. Within a few months I gave up. That was almost a year ago and I haven't touched it since.
Same, haven't played in two years.

Your Bitcoin deposit #22150, of 0.12 BTC has been completed on November 10, 2013 - 01:18:11 PM UTC so why do I have 0.11999244 instead?

I find this rounding bug pretty unprofessional and request that it gets fixed Sad
1574  Other / Off-topic / Tinfoil hat time? on: November 10, 2013, 05:55:15 PM
Coinroll.it seems to easily break statistics and probability, losing more times than I could count at over 80 win chance or even 97.9%. It is impossible to manipulate the outcome by the operator, it is indeed provably fair, but I am still losing despite my odds.

Will type more as soon as I buy a new keyboard.

I'd like to play but it requires flash :/

You dont have flash player?Huh
I don't think that is the problem. Adobe Flash has been used a lot by hackers to install malware and backdoors with 0-day exploits. That's why he is probably worried.

Naw.  BTC will compliment other currencies, but BTC is too easy to lose/screw up if you don't know quite a bit about computers.  I think about telling my mom how to back up her wallet.dat file...and I conclude with certainty, some will simply never adopt bitcoin.  
Yeah, I also feel like some countries will simply ban Bitcoin, but if they do, they might compromise their economy.
1578  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If 1 BTC = $100,000 How are you going to change into Cash? on: November 09, 2013, 11:21:01 AM
I don't want to withdraw all 4 coins but maybe 2 if it got to $100,000.

But how the hell would you do it?

Do you think there'll be an ATM that will give you $100,000?

Would you have to do the ATM every day of say $3,000

Would you sell 0.01 (make 0.01 worth of paper wallets)

How did the norway guy offload his $800,000+
The idea is that you wont, once Bitcoin is 100% mainstream, there will be no "cash" other than Bitcoin. You will be buying everything in Bitcoin, from food to electronics. Your salary will be in Bitcoin.

I don't understand how to play the game. Stone is not regenerating for me, and I have no idea what to do. Can I play the tutorial a second time?

That took me while to work out. You need to click on it and the click the stones on the bottom line to tell them to get back to work. Also, I just worked out that it takes a worker to do that. Also you can click market at the top and trade what you do have, e.g. iron for stone.


I am sorry, click what exactly? When I hover over the resources, I didn't see anything clickable(I tried).
