As u probably know, a black hole is a star with gravity that prevents light from escaping. Today I noticed a similar effect during downloading Bitcoin blockchain. 

Why do we still have to use multiple purpose hardware like smartphones and pc for wallets ? Ever since I have known bitcoin I have been waiting for a secure hardware wallet for sending and receiving bitcoins so to introduce bitcoin to my family and people around me that aren't tech savy enough to keep their bitcoins safe. And don't tell me that trezor is a wallet it is just way secure your wallet.

We could put up a bounty for the development of of an open source hardware wallet.




by single purpose hardware wallet I mean something like the bitcoincard but no need for the mesh network nor for it to be this thin and small =v        

Bitcoin may yet, erm.., penetrate this market   Though I think more the problem in that industry is finding what people will actually pay for than the method of collection, not to say taking digital currency wouldn't be a lot easier and cheaper regardless.


Generally, yes, but some (that don't know what BitTorrent is anyway) will shell out some cash for high quality productions, or at least high quality video. Thanks to the Internet destroying DVD sales porn studios have to come up with something that will sell as a premium service or product.

wall penetration is wording used in investments.. so just him saying investments the reply of wall penetration does sound as a natural flow of conversation. nothing at all to do with the algorithm

I went to a clairvoyant a week ago.

I decided to ask her about Bitcoin ... so I said (translated from Bulgarian):

- What can you tell me about Bitcoin ?
- Bi*@# what I don't know ...
- Please, just tell me whatever you get from 'above' ? ...
- Flawless ... Just that word !
...
Then I asked her:
- Should I invest in it ?
- It can be penetrated ! - She said - The wall against it can be penetrated. It can succeed !

That was what that woman told me. I am sure she haven't heard of Bitcoin before.

You could for instance take the first decimal via pregmatch and use it as a 0-9 RNG. My test script that I ran hundred of times (1 billion iterations each) verifies that it's evenly distributed 0-9 and no number is in favor.


Okay, how about taking the exact blocksize as the second secret then? That should be unguessable before the block gets found/generated?

Not at all.  It is not worth the hassle and bother to protect much of the work that any normal person does.  A person who has some understanding of the various threats will be perfectly comfortable using systems such as Windows OS, Google geo-tracking, etc, most of the time.  If not all of the time.

An interesting thing about the surveillance state apparatus is that it is actually counter-productive in the very few instance when it might be useful to attack a worthy (and thus dangerous) opponent.  This because someone who knows what they are doing can probably fool the algorithms and produce data which will discriminate them out of a suspect pool.  But the surveillance state apparatus is not probably so much about catching 'bad guys' as it is about mass intimidation of the general population.  Snowden assisted in this whether it was his goal or not...and I'm glad he did no matter what his motivations.  So far there have been no big surprises to those of us who have been paying attention over the years and take a conservative approach to security threats.

A relatively modest group effort to fight against state sponsored privacy attacks would be easy and effective I suspect.  It would involve an understanding of the systems through some combination of whistle-blowers and reverse engineering, and fucking with the system by poisoning it with bogus data.  We ('freedom fighters' if you will) do need a ground-up open-source set of solutions which spans the spectrum of hardware, firmware, and software though.  I hope that that evolves out of our recent more broadly appreciated understanding of the shape of things.

Talented

so satochi's is the plural of satochi ?

Firstly, beware of spyware!!!  I use a mac and have no problem, pc's beware.

The movie is Kickass 2.  At ~26:33 the recorder warns a fellow movie go'er to shut up, LOL!  I just thought it was funny.  Watch any movie anytime.

Fixed your code. Issues included no spaces between comments and double slashes, failure to put opening curly bracket for if/else/for/while constructs on same line as opening statement, failure to align assignment operator for variables belonging to a group, and excess spacing around parenthesis.

bool check_collision_rect(Rect *A, Rect *B)
{
    //The sides of the rectangles
    int leftA, leftB;
    int rightA, rightB;
    int topA, topB;
    int bottomA, bottomB;
	

    //Calculate the sides of rect A
    leftA = A->x;
    rightA = A->x + A->w;
    topA = A->y;
    bottomA = A->y + A->h;

    //Calculate the sides of rect B
    leftB = B->x;
    rightB = B->x + B->w;
    topB = B->y;
    bottomB = B->y + B->h;

    //If any of the sides from A are outside of B
    if(bottomA <= topB)
    {
        return false;
    }

    if(topA >= bottomB)
    {
        return false;
    }

    if(rightA <= leftB)
    {
        return false;
    }

    if(leftA >= rightB)
    {
        return false;
    }

    //If none of the sides from A are outside B
    return true;
}

double distance(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2)
{
    //Return the distance between the two points
    return sqrt( pow( x2 - x1, 2 ) + pow( y2 - y1, 2 ) );
}

bool collision_circle(Circle A, Circle B)
{
    //If the distance between the centers of the circles is less than the sum of their radii
    if(distance(A.x, A.y, B.x, B.y) < (A.r + B.r))
    {
        //The circles have collided
        return true;
    }
    
    //If not
    return false; 
}

Looks like space invaders + mario

It's true actually the internet isn't being as original as it used to be, maybe everyones working on news stuff or something, i need to hurry up and finish learning the coding I need so I can make some fun games to play and not be bored anymore lololool

I'm not sure what class of plant it is...  I *think* it's a vegetable but it definitely has "flowers".
