A user, called david wilson operated by an anonymous newbie account, just reached my ignore list for spreading FUD today.

1. There is actually a relative ok distribution right now, "only" 14% for GHash :
https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=1days
2. GHash had more than 50% in the past, this is not an historical event anymore.
3. 50% is not a magic number that say if the system is centralized or not, in order to corrupt the system you need to maintain more than 50% for a longer period of time, since 50% of the hashrate is not equal to 100% chance of finding a block.

Yes, the market is super slow right now.
Perfect time for new collectors to pick up some nice coin for a reasonable price.

PsychoticBoy is selling the 5 BTC and 25 BTC you are looking for:

Highly recommended seller, I have bought a casascius coin from him in the past, it was absolutely perfect.

I bid 0.31 BTC

If you write the full public bitcoin addy for the transaction 06 Oct. then would it be possible to look a little more detailed what has happen for you.

Edit:

Found the full addies:

If you did not do this transaction, then will I suggest that you check your computer for malware.

Indeed, but remember that the majority of the bitcoin users want to protect the system.
In case someone get enough hashpower to destroy the system, then can "we" (the honest users), just fork the block chain e.g. with a new algo (as already mentioned), the honest user will follow the new chain, and the terrorist can stay on his corrupted chain, alone with all his worthless coins.

That is the beauty of bitcoin, if you have enough "power" to corrupt the system, then would you also destroy the system, making your scam-profit worthless. Satoshi mention this in the white paper when he explains the security of PoW.

I found it by a simple google image search with the following search parameters
bruteforce bitcoin energy

The picture is rather "old" and well known, I do not know the author.

Thanks you sir
Can you vouch for them?

I need advice to find a VPN tunnel provider.

My requirement is pretty simple:
- I need a Swedish IP
- Must be super easy to setup
- Must be a trustworthy company
- Bitcoin payment is prefered, but not a requirement. 

Please note this is not for any-kind of shady activity.

Ohh yeah Good spotted, I only have 30ish post left to reach the "leet"
I will see if I can remember to make a screen-shoot. lolz

You are welcome

Please note I am not the author of the picture, I just like to post it, when people start talking about bitcoin address collisions and brute forcing private keys.

Yes, it really but things in perspective.
Also help illustrate how big of a number 2^256 is, most people have an idea that it is big, but not how big it really is.

As a side note: the number space of bitcoin private keys are "only" 2^160, since capital "O", the capital "I" and the lowercase "l", as well as the number "0" is excluded.

But 2^160 is till a very very very very very large number.

I am also confused are you selling or buying?  

Someone summoned me

I read the wiki:

"The term leet is also used as an adjective to describe formidable prowess or accomplishment..."
Congrats

lolz

I agree that that coinographic should have made the window.

Nevertheless, the whole point of the security sticker is that it is tamper secure (I assume that coinographic's hologram are tamper secure?)
As a crypto coin collector you have to rely on that there are no "replacement" security stickers floating around, that would cripple the whole concept.
If you could break the security hologram and get a copy of the private key, and restore the hologram with a "replacement sticker", you don't even need to redeem the coins right away, you could sell them, and "empty" coins after they have passed on between a few new owners. Personally I always exam the hologram with a magnifier when I get a new coin to make sure that there is no signs of breach, I also only buy 2nd market coins from people I trust.

When that is said, I can vouch personally for wafdawg, I do not believe he would ever deliberate sell a unloaded coin under the impression that the coins is loaded.
You can buy from wafdawg with confidence, no doubt.

As for coinographic, I have no experience with them, but I do note what smoothie has stated about his experience with privatekey management, which is worth taken into consideration.

Is the discounted price 0.23 BTC each ?

0.29
