I am a bit flexible on that. This is all for fun and it is only $60 $55 $50 $45 $40 bucks anyway. Tell them to get their act together and get in here before it is too late.
If no one posts a lower MinAddress by Monday some time I will award the $40 $35 $30 to dooglus.
Dang the way things are going I might have to increase the reward!

My guess is they are both victims of a public school education and just don't know that the number 4xxxx is greater than the number 1xxxx. They might also not be familiar with the concept "less than"  |

Only TWO day left to post a lower MinAddress!

If I remember correctly zero is not a valid pivate key. One is the first valid private key and results is G (G = 1*G). Two is G+G, three is G+G+G, four is G+G+G+G, etc. It should be very easy and very fast to create all the public keys for the private keys 1 through 232: start with G then keep adding G and store away the sums and hash each sum for the addresses.

Hiding signatures does not solve the problem of people posting crap in order to make money in pay-per-post signature campaigns. Sure, it screws with the company paying for the campaign since I don't see their ads but it will not reduce the amount of crap posts. I would be happy with the simple step of banning all pay-per-post signature campaigns, entities that promote them, and people who participate in them and see if that helps. The actual implementation would be per BadBear's post: We currently do a 3 strikes and you're out, 2 weeks>1 month>permaban is the typical progression.

I see people posting stupid without sigs, I wonder what are the next whinning gonna be now, when there is no one to blame for it. Wait!!! the flat rate campaigns are spamming, I just people just whine and cry in these forums no better then the spammers.
We should ban the whiners too. You know what no matter what you did Stunna people are always gonna complain. Also Im gonna keep my PD sig just to annoy the whiners
We already thanked and appreciated PD for moving away from the pay-per-post signature campaign. We, well I, am no longer complaining about PD. I think it would be a very good idea for everyone to follow PD's example and eliminate pay-per-post campaigns. That would be a great step in the right direction. |

OK, I will modify my stance:
One warning then perm ban anyone with a pay-per-post signature.
Allow signatures, allow ads (just not pay-per-post ads), allow links, allow pretty pictures, etc.
Although I would totally support text only and no links if that also helps.

Making stealth addresses "tip jar only" makes them far less interesting. There is no reason that all payments couldn't be done with this kind of address— assuming it was well constructed, and users would be much less private if only a narrow usecase uses them.
I agree. This, or something like it, needs widespread adoption. Before we have widespread adoption we need careful reveiw and massive testing. Before review we need a well written spec and for massive testing we need POC, alpha and beta software. |

Thanks! I will read up on it.
gmaxwell: what is your opinion on this? Seems like you are saying that it is a good idea but not yet ready for prime time (needs more work)? Or, is the DW specification good enough to implement in other wallets and get this thing off the ground?

If I want to actually use a stealth address right now, for example publish one in my signature, what are my options?
If I were to publish a stealth address in my signature would anyone be able send me BTC?
Has the specification been completed or are the details still being hashed out? If there is a specification where can it be found?
I obviously really like this idea and I just want to get a sense of where we are at on it and learn more about the technical details with an eye to contributing in some way.
Privacy/fungibility is a hot topic item for me. I am a very experienced programmer (>30 years of experienced) with very good cryptographic and Bitcoin knowledge. Where is the most effective and current work being done on this idea? In other words, where would I go to be most effective in my contributions?

Bans are very rare and even if they occur the spammers just make another account, which takes them less than 5 minutes.
Ban's aren't that rare, banned almost 50 accounts today, closing in on 400 for the week, with thousands of posts deleted. Making new accounts isn't very effective with the signature restrictions, if they do they'll be more careful because of the time invested. It's easy to pretend we don't do anything because you don't see it, but reality is we do quite a lot. BadBear and all the others who work so hard to keep this place as clean as it is. Just the number of posts simply moved from the incorrect sub-forums to the correct sub-forums is mind boggling - let alone the amount of crap that does get deleted and the number of obvious spammers that do get banned. I can't even begin to imagine how bad it would be here without your totally appreciated efforts and the efforts of all the others who work here. |

dooglus's 18e98-1c is still the MinAddress to beat.
I will send the reward to dooglus unless someone comes up with a real lower address in the next 3 days.
Any "older timers" want to claim your 0.1 BTC?

Just perm ban anyone with a paid signature, that would clean things up.
This includes a few staff members too; they would have to be banned as well. I don't think that the solution or problem lies in signatures. Sorry, of course they would get 5 days to delete it and one warning then perm ban. |

Paypal (reversible fiat) and BTC (irreversible money) do not mix.
Cash (irreversible fiat) and BTC (irreversible money) works.
Go to localbitcoins.com, find a reputable member near you, initiate a $100 contract, meet them in person at a local coffee shop for a face to face cash for BTC exchange. Easy and safe.

Of course you can do the same thing (lend your BTC, LTC, USD, etc. to traders) at Binfinex.

Chrome does not support NPAPI plugins. This will be resolved with Trezor bridge, when it is released. Trezor plugin does not work in Chrome.
I use the Trezor plugin in Chrome for Windows and Mac and works perfectly on both. I believe they may have been talking about Chrome on Linux. |

All joking (I thought it was funny and obviously not an attempt to cheat, at least they followed the correct posting format) and annoying people who just (incorrectly) post without bothering to read the OP and the thread aside:
dooglus's 18e98-1c is still the MinAddress to beat.
I have decided that I will send the reward to dooglus unless someone comes up with a real lower address in the next 4 days.

My question is why do you have a massive list of private keys? I don't see any use for this other then to mine potential brain wallets hoping that someone will send funds to one of your addresses.
yeah, why? this is a misuse of electrum...imported keys cannot be restored from seed. defeats the point of a deterministic wallet. yeah, why have a massive list of it? He explained exactly what he is trying to do in the thread, which you obviously did not read. OP: How is it going? Did you ever get all of the 2 32 addresess generated? Did you find any BTC? |

Daily bump.
dooglus's 18e98-1c is still the MinAddress to beat. SmokeTooMuch and BitcoinFX talked about entering lower MinAddresses but have not gotten around to it yet.
