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)?

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?
15785  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.

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..
15789  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!

Maybe we could use new banners / sigs. Maybe somebody can design better / less "eye-hurting" bit-x banner.
I am paid for them and I don't complain, but others seem to start blocking signatures, and from what I see bit-x is one of the most important targets.
15793  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What's the best share... ever? on: April 08, 2015, 07:51:10 AM
what is "share" in mining ?

Also "share" can be considered each "solution" your miner tries to send.
15794  Economy / Economics / Re: If Greece defaults on: April 08, 2015, 07:48:54 AM
We have €448m to the International Monetary Fund is due this Thursday (April 9th).

Then we have public sector wages and pensions, €1.7b in social security payments made by the state (April 14th).

Then we have a €200m loan repayment to the IMF (May 1st).

Now correct me if I am wrong, but if Greece cant pay any of these 3 bills we are talking about the first "western modern" country to be technically in default. If they resort back to the Drachma, it will be one of the most worthless currencies on the planet.

What I cant really figure out is the outcome, both worldwide financially against the Euro, and obviously against Bitcoin. Will we see BTC as safe heaven? Something tells me only a little, because the average Greek is not highly IT literate, but I could be wrong here.

Give me your thoughts people, as this goes down in about 3 days from now!

Actually Greece will not default. Politicians will find a solution again to give Greece more money.
Right now Greece plays hard, having discussions with China and Russia. This way they will either force EU to be more "merciful" with them, either will get a loan from China giving them something EU will not like.
15795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fingerprint private key on: April 07, 2015, 06:36:44 PM
Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way for me to create a private key using only my fingerprint and a password. Do you guys know if there is already a website to do so ?

Thanks.

It's not really an useful way to do this. Any website that offers this could scam you (anyone that knows your priv key can steal from you). A vanity gen based on fingerprint and password would have to run on a computer. And then you'll have to rely on a 3rd party app (prolly on your phone / tablet) that will read the fingerprint, then transfer that data on the computer where another program will take that data to generate the "private key". Who would use that?!
15796  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Trying to get involved... on: April 07, 2015, 06:04:31 PM
To get involved or not involved.

If you have some money and want to take a risk - which may give great rewards - get involved  Grin
If you have a good mind for playing on the market - also get involved.
15797  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Did I lost some money or ? on: April 07, 2015, 04:17:42 PM
It usually takes quite some time for bitcoin to actually get into your wallet.
Is the transaction confirmed?


If you pasted your valid address, you should be fine, you may need at least 20 minutes though...
Did your client pay the tx fee?
15798  Economy / Speculation / Re: The next bubble could well surprise even the early traders... on: April 07, 2015, 04:10:45 PM
The bottom is in at 152$, trust me. At least 2 people have confirmed it as this number appeared in their dreams prior to the actual manifestation of the bottom itself.

Most subtle trolling I've read in the last week here. Great job!  Grin Grin
15799  Economy / Speculation / Re: The next bubble could well surprise even the early traders... on: April 07, 2015, 03:59:54 PM
While bitcoin is not able to break the 300$ barrier, dreaming of 2000$ and 15000$ is.. lovely  Grin

guess what, if 1 unique country (ireland, island) convert 50% of his currency to use a "stable" value ... but if they can't buy gold (because of the russia and china buyers) ?

they choose bitcoin instead.

A government will not give up printed money that easy. Ukraine, Greece - yes, there's a tiny chance there. The only real luck can be with China, which will buy any possible means of assets possible, Bitcoin included.
But they may be already "full".

You do realize that we're in a phase of finding the true bottom and are struggling to achieve a breakout off the 15-month bear market(!!!) If the turnaround has been confirmed, we will go up. Big time.

Yes. We may be close to the true bottom or we may have reached it and now being in the "stable" area. But the stable area needs some time the investors gain trust in Bitcoin again after some got goxxed big time. And the stable area may not be breached (upwards) this year.

Yeah, I've read the news. Had a smile and moved on.
That's not a real claim. Not something achievable. It's just empty words. Politics. Something the not-so-bright ones with tell "now the Greek government did it right!"
It's actually a pretty sad game between the Greek and EU politicians, where the Greeks borrow time and money, Germany loses very little and all EU citizens will pay for this from their own pockets.
