It's the feeling when you win, when your balance is good, even if, sometimes, they are only pennies.

Keep safe your wallet. Delete all the other files (usually from users/youruser/appdata/roaming/multibit or close to that). Warning, the wallet may be in that folder too.

Then start multibit again. It will make another wallet, but no problem.
Option 1. Close multibit and copy your good wallet over the new wallet it made, then start multibit.
Option 2. Use from menu the load wallet option and load it from the new location you keep it. You will have from now the good wallet there(!!!!).

It will have to sync.

Hopefully this is it all. Uninstall/reinstall not needed.

I think that FIBRE should also be somewhere on this list and maybe CAIx too, though the later may be dead coin now...

I don't want to put links, just google for this: vanity address generator download
Get the source code, compile, enjoy. It's the safest way I know.
16246  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: wallet data!! on: December 16, 2014, 05:07:50 PM
Use the tool from just-dice.com
You'll need only the wallet address and the private key. No other software, no blockchain, no hassle.
I did that a couple of days ago and went well.

I actually transferred the CLAM to my local wallet, but maybe you can transfer directly to exchange too.

The typical/fair/clear way to handle this would be: if he bet in one bet 4 BTC and he lost, you get 1 BTC.
If he wins and get to 8 BTC, not your (as affiliate problem).

Also so if he starts with 1 BTC, bets 1 BTC and wins, then bets the 2 BTC and wins and bets the 4 BTC and he loses, you get 1 BTC and the house actually gets nothing.

Is this the case, OP?

Ohhh, good thing I came back to your site.
Stupid me, I just found out that the big red text is a button. (me hides)

Now.. can I choose the "opposite side"? Like the big numbers win and the small numbers lose?
16249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Any other site accepting CLAM? on: December 16, 2014, 04:38:16 PM
I know only of JD now.

Are there any other sites accepting CLAM deposits (now/plans for the future?) ?

Sorry OP, but people is selling CLAM for a reason: the only thing you can use it for is to gamble on JD.
After the price "got better" I sold it too. I advice you do the same.
16250  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTC Casino - true randomness from atmospheric noise on: December 16, 2014, 03:52:17 PM
Wonderful Dilbert cartoon! I hope that your randomness is a little bit more... random though Smiley

And.. such a nice description for data actually from random.org. Hats off!

Your site is right now just a loooong text and some (ref) links. C'mon! People wants to gamble on a gambling site! Put a small faucet or test coins and show us how it works!

By looking into his server seed, you probably lock his *destiny*, so no matter how many thoughts he gives to attract a winning roll, the result wouldn't change.

And of course, as a site op, it's hard for me to accept these kind of concept.

There are 3 big things, in no particular order: scams, bad luck and buggy software.
When somebody is losing "too much", he will complain of scams (altering the future, ha-ha!) and bugs.
When somebody complains, the site admin will tell it was bad luck.

It's a kind of war with no good middle solution yet.
When some of the gambling site admins will become more "trusted" and will also learn better PR (even with those claiming the future is altered), the things will get better.
16252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are merchants not serious about the advantages of Bitcoin? on: December 16, 2014, 02:30:38 PM
The actual problem is, I think, the small number of payment processors.
The merchant wants to sell the product, get fiat, pay the taxes and move on.

Some merchants thought that bitcoin is a nice thing to invest in and now they were scared off by the price decline. But most of them just need some solid payment processors.
Just my 2 satoshi.
16253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What alt-coins have Paper wallets? on: December 16, 2014, 02:09:19 PM
I know for sure that Dogecoin has such generators, you can even download the html to do it safely.
I don't remember which one I actually used and google.. just gives too many results on that. so just pick one you want Smiley

I have Dogecoin Smiley I am basically trying to buy a bunch of alt-coins but I hate installing so many softwares and I don't want to hold my coins on exchanges. So a paper wallet is a very easy and simple solution but not all alt-coins have that. I plan to put as much as I can on Paper wallets and forget about them.

I completely agree, but unfortunately it's the only one I know of in this format.
I just asked today about the way to do paper wallet for Monero and.. at least you have only to run an exe (no install) and you don't have to download the blockchain.
Maybe this also helps a little. Here's the response I got: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg9855347#msg9855347

16255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone Else Noticing This on: December 16, 2014, 01:47:58 PM
I've also had very slow transactions today. And it turned out that's something wrong at Poloniex, they actually announced that. https://twitter.com/Poloniex/status/544821638928138241
So if your transaction was to or from Polo, now you know why.
16256  Economy / Gambling / Re: So I turned 1 BTC into 4.5 playing blackjack on Betchain on: December 16, 2014, 11:52:22 AM
Hey first, congrats on your win man!  And good on you for walking away when you were up. 

If anyone wants me to, I am happy to try to duplicate this, but it won't be solely on Blackjack.  I'll do it on dice, roulette, etc.

And it'll probably take me around 1-3 weeks to turn 1 BTC into 4.5 BTC.

If anyone wants to see me try this, let me know.


I will definitely follow that thread.
I think that such info is important for everybody that gambles - from big bucks to pennies, for profit or for fun.
16257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Ripple price going mad right now? on: December 16, 2014, 11:36:42 AM
It has features, it has good commercials, it has a good chance.
You drew my attention too with it.

I still have to do more research whether this is a scam/bubble or a really full-featured coin that deserves its share.
16258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You want bitcoin to succeed ? *THIS* is what you need to focus on on: December 16, 2014, 11:22:07 AM
Bitcoin is already a success (just the price doesn't really reflect that) and bitcoin already is there on quite a lot of emerging markets.

I would like to politely disagree.

I guess that we have a different perception of what success means. As technology, it is proven to work, it is copied by a lot of other coins and it starts to be known (or heard of) by the masses.

Bitcoin is currently a success in the same way Linux is/was a success: in a very tiny niche (geeks, sysadmins, tech-savvy folks, etc ...). Unfortunately, Linux never came out of that niche. It's still in there 15+ years later

In the same way, Bitcoin has most certainly not reached the mainstream, and especially not in emerging markets where most people only have old "feature" phones and close to nil in terms of technical skills.

To do so would require a order of magnitude improvement in ease of use, speed of confirming transactions and number of transactions per second the network can handle.

This is a giant missed opportunity: the next 4 billion people who are going to come online are from emerging markets, and bitcoin is simply to hard/too slow for them to use as compared to the alternatives outlined in that presentation (especially towards the end).

Quote
What bitcoin needs (especially for its price) is to increase the awareness everywhere on earth, because even if it's there, not many actually know about it, what it is and what can it do.

What bitcoin needs is to become *way* simpler, and *way* faster. And it also needs a client on older phones (non-smartphone).
If it does this, awareness will just be a byproduct.

These are only steps to gain awareness, imo.

Bitcoin will not go faster. If you want "faster", find another coin (DOGE?). Don't get me wrong, I would like to see a solution to speed it up, but I don't think there's any.

Making it work with non-smartphones sounds strange to me. Would you like that the bank pays for a product from your credit card money just from a phonecall from your number without checking anything? I guess not. Bitcoin is not just money. It's SAFE/SECURE money. And the software to use bitcoin has to comply, else it will be a loss on the long time. However, if you think otherwise, start a business that handles bitcoin only from something as simple as a phonecall, maybe I'm wrong and you'll have success.

And fyi: emerging countries have cheaper phones with more features than yours, just may not have well-known brand names, that's all Wink
16259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT IS YOUR OTHER CHOICE FOR INVESTMENT AFTER BITCOINS? on: December 16, 2014, 10:38:38 AM
I don't have a BTC amount that counts, because I don't think that it can grow 100x from where it is now.

I have small amounts of altcoins though, basically the ones I could "catch the train" when they were very-very young.
The biggest "assets" I have in DOGE and XMR.
