15721  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Beta][Seedbox] Free "cloud" seedbox on: April 16, 2015, 01:48:43 PM
What I've seen until now: a torrent was downloaded successfully, it wrote "ended" on "active torrents" list.
I clicked download. An URL was generated and opened, but that one was an empty page.

On reload the torrent was correctly in the "torrents ended" page and showing something about actually zipping it.
After that was done, the download was working correctly.


Thanks for the awesome free service!
15722  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think quantum computers would break Bitcoin's security? on: April 16, 2015, 12:58:11 PM
While hardware changes, software changes too.
Quantum computers may be or may not be what you actually expect.

The only way I see bitcoin to be hacked is that somebody will be able to generate as "vanity" address your address if it has bitcoin on it. With a fast enough computer it may worth it at some point.
However, as I said, while hardware changes, software changes too. Adding some anonymity into bitcoin could fix this quite easily (though everybody will have to move the coins from the old known public wallet if they want safety).

And this is one of the small changes. Even changing algo is an option. Somebody said that such change will need new equipment.
Bad news for the miners: if a quantum computer will be that fast, it will also be faster than the ASICs on hashing. So the ASICs will have to be thrown away anyway.
And if mining goes back to CPU, changing algo is.. just another change in life.

15724  Other / Meta / Re: I think we should ban scammers and scam accusers on: April 15, 2015, 11:16:34 AM
Since they're so obsessed with banning people why don't we just ban all these scammers and people who accuse other scammers and people who accuse people of abusing the trust system and people who abuse the trust system so that we can finally have some peace from these people who are spamming the whole fucking board with their shit? Cheesy

If nobody would be allowed to complain / make scam accusations, there will be no scammers. What a wonderful world you propose!
I hope that you see now that something is wrong with your proposal Smiley

Yes, scammers have to be punished (a better trust system would be nice, but I don't know how).
And yes, abusing the trust system should be considered scam and punished too.
But I don't think that trust system can be done much better than it is now without having some sort of "cops" in the system. But that's the default trust and some already abused that too, so we can't rely on those "cops" either. So.. it's hard.

However, although I feel that you proposal have obvious mistakes, I am glad that proposals pop up every now and then. Maybe at some point something useful can be extracted and used in the next version of the forum.
15725  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Guide to earn Bitcoin fastest way possible with Social Media on: April 15, 2015, 10:45:27 AM
This is a poor, less than 3 pages e"book".
All the guy does is to earn from various affiliate and click-based pages we all click to have the book downloaded.

My guess is that's the way he also made a lot of affiliates: giving "useful" info, but with his own ref links.
15726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something big for Bitcoin coming April 15th on: April 15, 2015, 10:35:25 AM
And what's the big news? Last bottom for Bitcoin? Hard to really see such news. More visible is when it starts a steady grow.
Until then.. no news, sorry.
15727  Economy / Speculation / Re: On a positive note... on: April 15, 2015, 10:33:15 AM
If it stays over 200$ we are on the latest "normal" 200-300$ area, which is actually OK. Under that value.. it may be rather chaotic and more will lose faith into Bitcoin.
But I don't think that's gonna happen.

All the crying is done by traders that want to earn a few more bucks on the panicking ones.
15728  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why is it so freaking hard to buy .25 BTC? on: April 14, 2015, 02:02:28 PM
Come on, buying bitcoin never was as easy as in the last 6 months!
Selling bitcoin may be tricky in some countries / cities, but buying, really, 3 days and offering 150%?

If you'd use some payment methods that can be trusted, this would have been done from day 1.
15729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if YOU could put 1 feature, change, whatever, into the Bitcoin protocol? on: April 09, 2015, 03:55:39 PM
I would ask for a change in block rewarding system - to make the block rewards difficulty dependent.

The big farms only dump coins to the market anyway, let's discourage their future growth.
15730  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Free guessing game - chance to win 1 BTC on: April 09, 2015, 03:43:54 PM
What if I post my guess in "12 days from now", just before CFC ends? Maybe a time limit has to be added to remain a guessing game?

just post your number and consider anything between 1 and 40BTC potentially winning number.

What if I guess more than 40 BTC, what if more than one person does a >40 guess and the CFC will indeed get more than 40 BTC?
Are fractional numbers allowed (ex: 13.37 BTC)?
15731  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Would You Use a Bitcoin Debit Card? on: April 09, 2015, 01:22:54 PM
I would right now, if I would have an amount of Bitcoin that matters - which I don't.
In my country the only good exchange FROM Bitcoin was shut down a few months ago.

I'll be honest, I didn't check what are the fees; if the fees are big indeed I would also look for alternatives.
But yeah, right now I don't need all this. I have to get bitcoin first.

Are you relatively new to monero? Viewkey and payment_ID are things unique to Monero (I think). There is no equivalent in bitcoin (because there is no need).

Maybe this is somehow off topic, still.. does viewkey actually work? Or is there some info I've missed about when is it planned to be done?
15734  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your price speculation for BTC at the end of 2015? on: April 08, 2015, 03:34:30 PM
275$
This would mean that it has stabilized and can start to grow.
Wishful thinking? Maybe.

I've heard no words about them for quite some months...

The site seems up and running. However, if you think that making a rar with the client I have and sending you a link would help, PM me and I'll do that.

I am still sad about the fate of this coin..
15738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Extracting private keys from wallet.dats? on: April 08, 2015, 02:33:22 PM
Private key is shortly after a "keyA" ascii sequence in the file.
Some technical details are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22697.0;topicseen
They should be useful, especially if you want to code the priv key searcher.

Hi,

i would to know, what are the main importatnt alternative cryptocurrency to bitcoin??? example: litecoin, megacoin.....

- Why these kind of coin have need to exist? because bitcoin have some problem, or issue, and this type of coin are born to resolve this issue, or for another mission?

- this other coin can work with the same process of bitcoin (blockchain, private and pubblic key, process of mining??)

- the alternative cryptocurrecy can be considered a true alternative of bitcoin or these are weak to challege bitcoin??

Thanks
 

Hi.

Your questions are very debatable and this can simply start a flame war.
Best alt-coin? Hard to tell. Some are old, some have big fan base, some are anonymous. Some are bitcoin clones (with few or with big changes), some are built from scratch.
Some have big advertising (cough Dark/Dash cough..), some ... need more checking to be discovered. You'll have to do your own detective work and see which altcoins deserve your attention.

About problems: some claim anonymity and it's not sure that they actually provide it. Some can be mined by ASICs, some with GPU, some only CPU. Some are PoS (you only keep wallet open, no big resources for mining). Some are cheap IPO/ICO scame.

Afaik have blockchain, but for some you will not see that much info like for Bitcoin (like top100 richest wallets and the amounts in them). Mining can be done with hard work (PoW), only wallet open (PoS), by providing HDD space, ... maybe some others I don't know.

Some anonymous coins have a tough fight trying to be the anon alternative to bitcoin. Some just use TOR, some are college clones, some are just scam. Some are dead coins.


I will just tell the altcoins I like, for various reasons: XMR, DOGE, FIBRE, XMG. I will not tell that they are best. Time will tell if my choices were any good.


Good luck in your search!
