That's cool, but, don't you get confused because both your addresses there have half the address in common?
They both start the same..
I'd suspect he could always keep them apart as 'PaY' and 'TheV1P' Also, is it possible to give it a prefix?
Like Vanity, e.g: 1xxxxx
For that, you'd be better off with vanitygen. The addresses he generated rely on the birthday paradox. E.g. in a large crowd, chances are good two people share the same birth date (ignoring year) - but there's no telling in advance if that date is January 20th, May 1st or August 14th. Same with addresses - generate a bunch of them, and two are likely to share a characteristic - the same starting bits, ending bits, middle bitchbits! (I meant BITS! Oh dear), whatever you'd set as criteria.. but the exact values can't be determined in advance. Would this be considered a Birthday paradox event 1BirthDAY5nLWc9HLciynq5FSNWhemk5Kw 1BirthDayjAuMBf4XSs3VQV3UfE3UeVapb Lol, funny but no. TheRealSteve was referring to this post: Wow. I missed this post but that us amazing! That would take forever with my rig. How fast are you able to generate addresses?
Thanks for noticing  It took me about 1 week to generate on a Haswell 4 core / 8 threads. Using vanitygen to find such pairs of addresses is not feasible, e.g.
$ vanitygen "18eXmgR5Svoqqa6"
[1.34 Mkey/s][total 24407296][Prob 0.0%][50% in 3.161665e+10y]
...so 50% probability in about 32 billion years! I didn't use vanitygen, but rather a specialized tool designed to find partial address collisions based on the Birthday Attack. I might clean up the code and release it; although I am not sure if it has any use beyond some novelty value. The code currently uses CPU only. But a GPU port would make 100+ bit collisions feasible. Check out that wikipedia link to get the scoop. |

Thanks for the party, trivia and cigars!! Enigma337, UnifiedBeing, and JC-Jack!   I was around for a bit yesterday. I've never seen a trivia party on DT but I love trivia so I'll be trying to catch the next one! |

Thanks for the info. However his arrogance in the situation allowed me to find a thread where he essentially admitted to scamming you/coinchat. He still denies the allegations and is trying to weasel his way out of being held responsibility however he is now labeled a scammer.
Lol, it's the daily Quickseller/ACCTseller masterbation post! "his arrogance allowed me to find", I think you mean that I pointed you to the thread where all of this stuff was already made public. The fun thing that just got revealed above is that you can see how TF asks me to "return" .2 BTC but then later he changes that to .5BTC. Everything else above is already in that thread I pointed you to. I also love how QS/ACCTseller believes that his godlike pronouncement of trolling my feedback and echoing what TF said years ago somehow makes me "now labelled as a scammer". Cute! |

Hello everyone.
Let's say I own a default trust account and decided to make a few bucks by helping people out. Wanted to know which subforum to promote my business in. I'm planning on using trusted escrow, so not scamming.
Thanks.
that's gay trust must be earned not bought by a newbie like myself Hard to know what sexuality has to do with it. But if you'd read closer, you'd note that you're very welcome to buy a trusted account from a "reputable" account seller. So, I ask you, what's the difference? |

Actually, if you take per mile driven then the value is undefined. Total accidents can be 0 and that's fine, but assuming martians have driven 0 miles then you'd have to calculate 0/0 and we all know that division by zero is not defined On another note, maybe it's time to rename this thread "gender stereotypes discussion time" or something like that. |

I see in the thread topic "proof-of-chain", "proof-of-pearl". These are cute names (actually I don't understand how a "chain" is clammy), but I ask myself, are these simply renamed "proof-of-work", "proof-of-stake", or is there something more that I should understand?
Thanks again tspacepilot, I also changed the website to make the different between proof-of-stake and proof-of-working-stake more clear. And thanks superclam for making it possible to cut and paste a good description! http://clamclient.com/#/equal-distribution/Glad I asked a question which helped Thanks to you guys above for the answers. I'm not too into altcoins anymore but I appreciate the friendliness of folks in this thread (in opposition to some other threads on altcoins that i've visited which are either "be a cheerleader here or GTFO" places). |

Its been a day now. Does your rank downgrade when you delete "x" amount of posts? Is it suppose to and for some reason its not doing it?
That is certainly the outstanding question. And from the look of things, no one really knows the answer. Either rank doesn't go down (like activity) or it does on the Tuesday upgrade or there's a bug. Time will tell. |

The 88% was most likely 7 accurate reports out of 8, 87.5% rounded to 88% then one additional report was marked as good so you would have 8 out of 9 reports marked as good, 88.88% rounded to 89% Hmm, yes, that seems to have explained it. Thanks Quickseller. I'm not really sure why it appears that you are continually clicking the report to moderator button when your total number of reports does not appear to go up  Hey, good job. Way to take a helpful answer that you gave and turn it into some trolling assholery before you were done. Sweet use of "continually" as a synonym for twice! |

It should work with any language that can do HTTP POST including very low level programming languages. I think .NET is ops preferred language.
Yep. Exactly. But could somebody post an example of an HTTP POST in .Net that sends a transaction into a node (the network) - (which node?) (a permanent known node?). Please post some code which does this if you can. Sorry, I don't know anything about .NET, but almost every language I've worked with has some sort of system("systemcommandhere") call. Why not just use .NET's version of system() and then the classic curl binary: $ curl -X POST --data "foo=bar&baz=quux" URL |

Ok, I thought I understood the weirdness, but today it says "reported ten posts with 89% accuracy". Now how could I have gained 1 percent I really have no idea.
one additional report was handled. Rounding. It must be some kind of rounding. But if the report were handled then I would have seen either an 80% or a 90% (as then the denominator would be 10 (no longer 9)). I guess I don't really understand how 8/9 (=0.8888...) would round down yesterday and round up today. |

Quickseller feels himself like some kind of weird superhero who can predict future actions of persons and also read what they will do next. He gave me a negative trust without dealing with me, so I am not surprised. I am surprised why no negative trust were given to him in response to his amateur deeds in here  I never have left negative feedback even to other people of accusing me without evidence, but I got really mad when I saw a guy like this saying (I am a scammer , don't deal with him etc) so I gave him what he deserved. It is true that your activity does make it seem, you might potentially scam someone with paypal, as you yourself were selling guides to chargeback, but still you could request them to change it to Neutral. As for selling illegal stuff like that, I think its banned on the forum, and that might be the reason for it. I don't know the whole history with kingofbitcoin but I can say that tomotocage has aslo left negative feedback. It's not clear to me whether this is something that tomatocage turned up and quickseller just echoed or vice-versa. In any case, it seems a distraction to the issues in this thread, which are about quickseller's attempts to inflate his own importance by going after anyone who he seees as less powerful than him and offering no recourse. When it comes to people more powerful than him, he's completely polite and understanding and doesn't in any way act disagreeable. For those below him, it's his way or the highway or "you're an idiot scammer/spammer"! |

3) Do not invest or gamble away your bitcoins with any service or person who guarantees returns
This bears repeating, since it's a significant source of loss for new members... If you see a post or website promising any return (even 1% a day), stay clear. They are called ponzi scams, and they will take your coins and run. Yup, caveat emptor should be the motto of this forum (imo). On the more technical side, I noticed that no one pointed you to the bitcoin wiki (where there's loads of fun info): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_PageCheers and welcome! |

The activity Synced, but the Rank didnt. Is it supposed to be like that? He deleted all previous posts, so that his post count went down and the activity too. But does the rank stay at the highest you have achieved no matter how much activity you have lost?
There's the empirical answer to this coming either today or next tuesday or the one after that. Right? If no one really knows for sure, we'll find out soon enough. The rank relies on the activity and should thus update with the activity. Activity is updated every 30 minutes IIRC. And yet, at the time of this writing, he still appears as Hero but with activity 100. So, we'll see if the rank is updated on another Tuesday (or never). It's definitely been more than 30 minutes |

I guess I appreciate the effort, but I'm in a library with no headphones so videos aren't going to cut it Let me know if there's a succinct-textual answer somewhere. FWIW, I can try to watch videos later on at home. Here's a slightly off-topic rant: do you guys ever get annoyed when you're looking for some simple answer to a question and the only thing you can find are videos that you know are going to have a rambly introduction and no way to search on the page for exactly what you're looking for (because it isn't a page!) etc? Ok, end of my rant! Proof-of-Pearl was a cute name for our lottery which was removed long ago. It was basically just random block rewards aka superblocks or whatever you'd like to call it but it didn't work out well. Proof-of-Chain is in reference to how clams were originally distributed, sending out to all the btc / ltc and doge addresses that had a balance last may. Hope that helps Yup, that answers it, thanks! |

On topic here: I don't have any personal grudge against Vod (I don't have him in my trust list, but I certainly don't have any reason to put negative feedback on him). Hopefully the OP was playing a game with us or has learned something about how his own trust list works. Not having Vod on your trust list is a good way to get negative trust from users like Vod. Lol. Vod you and I don't really see eye-to-eye on a number of issues regarding Microsoft intellectual property so I've removed you. And, what's more, we've argued in public about it and you haven't seen reason to go after me for it. This stands in stark contrast to the behavoir of someone else I know who is (currently) on default trust. You're funny. But it's sad that the kind of behavoir you're joking about is actually going down (and was perpertrated against me). |

Your number of reported posts (10) is increased as soon as you report them, however the accuracy is updated only when the reports are either handled or marked as bad. The 88% probably means 8/9, not 8.8/10.
Aha, yes, that would explain it |

I see that I have reported 10 posts, to the mods with 88% accuracy. But I find this highly surprising as I would have expected that my accuracy percent would have been in { 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}. How could I have been right on 8.8 posts out of 10?

Good Photoshop skill!
Or he just trusts a load of people who left negative on vod. This is his trust list Depth 1
smooth (-1)
Vod (-1)
DefaultTrust (1)
rhkazani1 (1) He most likely is using trust depth of 3 or 4. Either way Vod has positive trust in pretty much anyone who has their head on halfway straight's eyes This account is an admitted alt of Quickseller (aka Chase Curtis, possibly an alias). As an admitted account-farmer/account-seller, we don't really know how many accounts QS controls or how he uses them to sockpuppet, but since he's often commenting in Meta using his Quickseller account I think it's important to make sure we flag it as an alt of QS when it appears (so that we can watch for sockpuppetry). On topic here: I don't have any personal grudge against Vod (I don't have him in my trust list, but I certainly don't have any reason to put negative feedback on him). Hopefully the OP was playing a game with us or has learned something about how his own trust list works. |
