Any news on the client?

I'd like an ETA so that I know when to buy some coins!

Now the client is tested

Awesome, sounds good. Looking forward to it, as I think such a lightweight language can be good for a crypto.

i dont understand how to find the block, the miner, and then contacting them assuming i acquire all this info
There is no real way to find the miner. The miner in question sent the blockreward to an "unknown" address so no one really knows which pool the block was mined on; it was probably someone who was solo mining with a lot of hashpower.

This address is very famous, as it has a big chunk of the network hash. The guesses in the forum are pretty educated and if OP does contact them and proves he is holder of the private key, there is a good chance he gets it back!

Altcoin exchanges are very very profitable for the people running it, because after 4-8 months, they get "hacked" and shut down. No questions asked :p
I don't think this so much has to do with the profitability of the exchanges but rather the amount of coins stored on these types of exchanges. I think a lot of people like to trade altcoins in a "day trading" fashion and as a result keep their coins on the exchanges. This results there being more coins on the exchange then there really should be.

Still, even if only a 1/3 or so of the coins normally stored on an exchange would be there, they still would be "hacked" and it would still be profitable enough for those guys to run the "Long-cons".

did i just lose a .2btc transaction because the fee was set at .2btc?

Aww man, I'm so sorry reading that!! Things can be confusing in advanced settings, yeah... Better just stick to the regular send-feature! I once almost screwed up with those long Bitcoin addresses. Mixed up a few numbers or letters. It was already pretty late and I was out partying!
It is really not possible in practice to mess up typing a BTC address. Your wallet program would likely not allow it, as if you make a typo it would most likely show up as being an invalid address. What could happen, and does somewhat frequently happen is you could copy the incorrect address to send the funds to. This is a similar but different problem that the OP had, as the OP setup the TX so too big of a fee would be given to the miners.
I think the OP's situation is an important lesson of the importance of attention to detail when using BTC.

Yeah it's those little things that people who know Bitcoin and know how to use it don't get. The normal person on the street wants something to be easy and safe. If it was possible to pay more than you intended to pay with your Credit Card, people would freak out as well!

Sure, but BTC is more like cash. Irreversible.

if you drop a stack of 100$ notes when going out, they are gone.

If you pay someone too much and he is not cooperative, the money is gone.

I don't see the harm, but yes, everything could be more user friendly!

Yeah, sure. But that's exactly the thing. People want the security that Credit Cards offer them. I think they also still just have to learn to be more careful when it comes to Bitcoin. They shouldn't believe everyone and just send BTC to some address.

But the extra service that CC offer can just be offered using a service provider. In the background you could still use BTC.

Look at XAPO for example. Sure they fucked up by having such high fees, but that model is basically everything you said is missing from BTC.

Das geilste ist halt wie Leute jede Art von Unternehmen sofort als mehr vertrauenswürdig einschätzen.

So ne firma kostet knappe 1000€ http://www.efsag.eu/product/view/panama/panama-corporation und ist in paar tagen aufgesetzt. Tolles Vertrauensmerkmal!

Findet ihr es nicht komisch, dass sie angeblich 100te% pro jahr machen und auf EUER investment angewiesen sind?^^

172  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many Bitcoins needed to retire in 5-6 years? on: August 09, 2014, 05:56:02 PM
I think $40k is certainly achievable, but I'm just not sure on the time frame. 5-6 years, maybe not, but I'm planning on setting aside a retirement fund of ~25 BTC. Smiley

Ok.... so that would be $1 million if the 25BTC achieves your target price of $40k per BTC. 

a) Are you planning to buy the 25 BTC now?
or
b)  have you already bought some of the 25 BTC?
or
c) will you to just continue to buy them over the coming years?   
or
d) do you continue to buy and trade BTC, but you will just keep 25BTC in a form of cold storage?   

Right now 25 BTC would cost about $15K.

Why are his holdings relevant to make a price prediction?

Disclaimer: Holder of >25 coins Wink


Details remain important in any financial planning, including questions regarding whether the investor continues to invest and/or monitor over the investment over years, or if the investor just sets aside the investment and hold. 

Setting aside and holding could work, except what does a person do with the ongoing flow of fiat (invest in BTC or some other asset or just blow it)?

And, usually, income goes up through the years, and a person is able to buy more of asset X or Y or Z or to dedicate a higher portion of income to investing... but it is NOT a given that a person will plan to invest over the coming years if the person sets aside and consumes nearly all of his/her paycheck.






True, I think I missread the messege of CEG5952.

Best would be to gradually increase holding to get to 25 BTC. The risk with this is that the BTC price could explode before you reach any near 25 BTC.

Dude...it is 0.2BTC.  118.9USD.  Get a job, make the money back, and get on with your life.

Yeah most people waste 10 times more time on lost money than they would have with earning that money back...

There is currently a thread with >100 posts, where a girl has 1 "ONE" USD stuck.... hahaha

You gotta be kidding me!!!!??? Where's this thread? Cheesy I mean it's a sad thing, but really it isn't that much money, people, don't waste your time worrying about the money, but rather work in order to earn it back or spend your times with something nice!

I want to see that thread,too.  Tongue

Btw OP,money you lost isn't such big it's easy to make it back with a job. Smiley

Stellar value in my opinion is about to skyrocket in few days, I'm buying as much as I can because this will be a huge rise...

And why do you think that?
