Sorry I thought this was a different thread. It had a much simpler validation method which basically boiled down to a regex.

That said, if we can compute prime-ness with regEx, I'm not sure that sha256 is impossible Wink

How many languages don't support RegEx these days?

Let's say the economy pulls out of the shitter and 1% stable yearly interest is easy to come by from major banks. Also, let's say $80,000 yearly is enough for comfortable living in the U.S. Given that, 8 million in a bank would cover comfortable living with interest alone. If you put in 12 million, that's 120K yearly, etc. The rest could be used for business ventures and exotic vacations Cool
1884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on/with Sign Message feature in bitcoin-qt? on: July 10, 2012, 04:01:08 PM
currently don't understand why this feature is present in bitcoin-qt (sending messages is something I use eMail or Jabber for) and also which attacks are possible because of this feature.
Bitcoin relies on public-key cryptography. It makes sense for the client to offer a way to prove address ownership.

Can you please pay out my address though? 1 cent/task is the max right now, and that's not gonna happen.

It would be interesting to see if any of these addresses are provably owned by the same person (through input-combining)

I was using blockchain.info, created an address, and did a withdraw to it from MtGox. Unfortunately, the address never synced, so now 0.007 BTC is gone for good Cry

geezus, that one at the top is scary... 500K? That's like what pirate manages, but all in one address Shocked
millions of dollars in one string of numbers

Yup, and it's been growing quite a bit recently.
I wish I had a direct account with Pirate so that I could see if he interacted with that address.

It would be a good idea to pay the remaining sums. If there are no jobs, can I get my 97 points paid?
My name at coinworker is: blueshoe
Was a lot of work.
Yeah I'd like my address paid too if possible, as I will no longer be using the service

Loup, bro, not trying to be a grammer nazi, or a troll but, to tell the truth you make more mistakes then you think. "Mispelled" has only one "s".

I apologize
1894  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] [YARR] Daily Insured Pirate Passthrough by CPA on: July 06, 2012, 02:12:15 AM
What a great response to my question. It appears you're insulting me, but you're simultaneously not giving me any information on what I did wrong.
1895  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Putting your money where Pirate's mouth is. on: July 06, 2012, 01:30:58 AM
And the escrow is more trustworthy
1896  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Putting your money where Pirate's mouth is. on: July 06, 2012, 12:18:29 AM
ooh, 5050 BTC each! Shocked
A cool $66700 to the winner!

Somehow I doubt vandroiy will do it, but we'll see... (watch for lame excuses)


As for charities, I can also suggest Smile Train.
1897  Economy / Securities / Re: I know what Pirate's doing on: July 06, 2012, 12:04:19 AM
It's so simple now:

Person A wants to launder money to person B.

Person A gives pirate 100K.

Pirate takes a big fee, say 10K.

Pirate buys 90K worth of coins via person A's mtgox account.

Pirate launders these coins to another address in a manner ( using GPUMax etc. ) that makes it impossible to trace.

Pirate sells 90K worth of coins via person B's mtgox account.

Bam. Person A just laundered a ton of money to person B. The more BTC pirate can borrow, the more he can launder each week. Person A and person B pay him big bucks because he's "the computer guy" and they don't know how to do this themselves.

Wow. Just, wow.

Actually, the model I was thinking of doesn't need to include money laundering of any kind.  But, as I said, I have no concrete knowledge of who his big buyers are.  That .1% of uncertainty goes a long way.

True, it could simply just be international transfer between legitimate business's. Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest laundering then. I was just trying to fit GPUMax into the picture and I didn't see any other way to fit it in. Either way I'm looking forward to finding out (if we do find out eventually) because I'm so darned curious!

This reminds me of the Penn and Teller episode where they talk about Area 51: whenever people don't know what's going on, all kinds of crazy theories come out. Maybe pirate is enabling money transfer between aliens from mars?
Well you see the aliens noticed this genius Bitcoin idea. They can use it to cryptographically conjure starships and then sell these cryptoships for a huge profit. The only problem is, the quantum cryptography requires a signmessage being run from an address with a verifiable balance of over 100K BTC... Shocked
1898  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] [YARR] Daily Insured Pirate Passthrough by CPA on: July 05, 2012, 11:36:37 PM
Where can I find info about your backers for this project? This is kind of necessary for having insured bonds I think.
  And are you planning to verify your address and phone number, Kind of funny to start the first ''serious'' bitcoin based insurance company and not even list/verify their address or phone number for their investors....?
 I am super interested in both CPA and YARR, but without having this info I can not invest in you. I mean anyone can say their product is insured or even triple insured and still go with the money..

Out of curiosity, what are you investing in now? I don't see why CPA or YARR is special and has to provide any extra information.
Almost everything I invest in is verified on the GLBSE. The only exception is Goat, and I feel he's earned it by now.
Are you really saying that you won't identify on the GLBSE, so there is zero collateral for you running off with all the money?
1899  Other / Off-topic / Re: Post the term/terms you find the most annoying to read and explain why. on: July 05, 2012, 11:26:42 PM
We should just take the chemistry definition of organic: "containing carbon." That's a much better definition; it's cut-and-dry.
1900  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 100% proof pirate runs a ponzi (thought experiment) on: July 05, 2012, 06:20:22 PM
Then you're being misleading. Taking the waveform of the deadcat and of the alive cat is not 100% proof that it's dead this time, and all I'm concened with is if it's dead this time.
