I am holding too, but for me, I'm in a pretty bad financial situation right now, there might come a time in the very near future where I would have to sell all my bitcoins, however little I may have.

I think we're getting to a point where it's sort of a "Jack of all trades, Master of none" type of situation where more and more cryptos are churned out and not one is being solely focused on to further it.

I wonder when we will see the price reflect this kind of data...it's been sitting around the same for a long time now.

i think the price will oscillate in this range for a long time.
and there will be the possibility to high volatility, when roadmap news will be released...

So many good news, and yet the price is tanking or not going up much.

Chrome is the malware.


it seems logical ...  Grin

You made me doublecheck Smiley
As usual, the malware seems to be using names quite similar with known software.
The normal browser is chrome.exe, not chrome32.
I guess that the same story goes to acrobat reader too, but since I don't use it I cannot check.


But really, the ones who run windoze with no antivirus on... they just ask for it.
That's very clever. Since Chrome spawns multiple instances of itself, it can be very easy to disguise a process with the same name, nobody will be any wiser.

I remember the story from when it first came out. I also wonder what the guy is doing right now.

Or hire a hooker after hooker. No need to waste money on these girls that only tease you a bit.
169  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: New address which is already in use? on: August 16, 2015, 10:23:37 PM
What is the probability to generate a new address which is already in use?

It is expected to be approximately

1 in 1.4615x1048

That's 1,461,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

For a reference to get a feel for just how big that number actually is, consider that it is estimated that the diameter of the observable universe is about 8.8×1026 metres or 5.5×1023 miles.

That's 880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metres
or 550,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles

The Universe is constantly expanding and accelerating, pulling our observable universe further apart. So the diameter of the observable universe is increasing all the time.

as far as i know there is NO record of truecrypt being broken so far (not with a good password anyhow) but there are a few alternatives like veracrypt (also never heard of it being broken) other ines do have a habbit of having back door (some say bitlocker has a back door) and others well there just piles of crap. the main thing is to research it. but im still happy to use truecrypt.

all in all there safe (well as safe as anything can be)

I don't think calculating frequencies is enough.

A truly random sequence should not have repeated patterns or other ways to predict a number given its predecessors
Well the sequences of numbers I have, should be random, HOWEVER, there are rules to the numbers generated, in a given set of 20 numbers(with any number between 1-80), no number should repeat. This by itself I suppose already breaks the chain of truly random.

There is also another caveat, the numbers, when I get them are ordered from descending to ascending order, but they are generated in a random fashion. I can't change this.

The numbers don't appear to be too much non-uniform, e.g every number seems to appear more or less equally. That's a bit discouraging tbh, but this is just basic counting, there's bound to be various other algorithms I can run on this.
174  Other / Off-topic / Re: Statistical analysis. on: July 31, 2015, 06:23:52 PM
This is something I could whip up in Java or something in a couple of hours. The graphs you would probably want would be frequency of each value 1-80 over the thousand or so sets, as well as the average of each set over time. This could be done as histograms in whatever output format (including printing to standard out).
Should I go on a limb that you require payment for this?

I could do it for free, as I do programming for fun anyway, but it would probably not happen immediately, as I am a bit busy with work.
But do you know of any algorithms that can be used on the data set? I can definitely think of counting all the numbers and see which show up more often, this one is easy. But what else?

177  Other / Off-topic / Statistical analysis. on: July 29, 2015, 12:26:07 PM
I am not quite sure what I need, as I've never done anything remotely connected to statistical analysis, but here I go.

I have several thousand of sets of numbers, each set has 20 numbers ranging from 1 through 80, that cannot repeat. E.g if one set has the number 80, then you will not encounter this same number in the same set.

I want to test the distribution of these numbers(I think it's called distribution idk), or if these numbers are randomly generated, if there are numbers that show up more often than others, or if there are time frames where some numbers get generated more often than others. To test if there is some bias towards some particular numbers or not. Finding some pattern etc.

Can anyone help with this? Some guiding, hints etc?
178  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin breached $300. What is the fair valuation.. on: July 12, 2015, 07:36:23 PM
market price is fair. bitcoin will be $1 trillion market in the hopefully not too distant future but hasn't fairly earned it just yet. heck we can't even get past 7 tps.
I think we can all agree even $250 was a fair price, price now is ok. So long as it doesn't explode all of a sudden to $2000, which in the short term is great, but in the long term we will go down even harder.

Keep it simple.
