Quoted for future reference. But it could be better if you can verify your signature. As many a time signature cant be verified for unknown reason.

with which program can I do it? I use it from android so I need a program or rather an easy-to-use app
a howto that explains how to do it in an easy way would also be nice, bad luck I'll do it as soon as I learn! Smiley
You can verify easily from https://reinproject.org/bitcoin-signature-tool/#sign
You have to post your bitcoin private key and wallet address as well as the message. Then signature will be automated. If you use electrum then you can verify from there too
Why would you suggest people to reveal their private keys on an insecure online service? Is it intentional or by mistake? If it's intentional, please refrain from suggesting something with high risk of losing money.

There is one problem with OP becoming a moderator, he wouldn't be able to combat the spam anymore because he would need to wait for reports to act upon. Though he could use an alt to report and use the main account ( mod ) to deal with the reports, considering the amount of accurate reports, this should be easy to hire him as a mod.

g0^i mod (q-1)

What is i in g0^i mod (q-1)
i is range.
Wrong, read two posts above your post. i represents integer.
1945  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) on: February 07, 2023, 11:22:22 AM
I am still working on my VanitySearch build by the way.

Over the past few days, I made the CPU core of the regex support work (It just needs a few lines of code change to allow you to lock the search to prefix or suffix, but that will be done in a few days), but apparently, there's a ton of work necessary to be done on the GPU side.

[Yes, I hate CUDA - what an abomination to debug - but if nobody else is going to do it, why let the idea of regex search go down the drain?]

EDIT: GPUEngine must be almost completely rewritten, including making a regex matcher in CUDA. Apparently, nobody has ever done this before (or at least finished it) so whatever I'm going to implement here might possibly be the first time someone attempts that.

Why does it need to be rewritten?

Because the GPUEngine was based on wildcards. It would basically take the ? and * and then calculate all the different possible combinations of the prefix, and the result would be a gigantic array which is indexed by a unique prefix ID, where ago find a match for an address, you'd run a string comparison on all of the corresponding prefixes, so see if any match.

There is two ways to insert regex at hat point:

1- shoehorn the other regex characters inside the GPUEngine (but this approach really only works with quantifier metacharacters), or
2) break the input string down into a tree, where each regex character corresponds to some part of the tree, and match all those parts in parallel.

2) is the approach I chose to take because it means I can use the existing CPU regex library as a reference for how to match stuff.

Either way, we're on track to make the first regex-enables VanitySearch, eventually.

PS. There is no longer a GPU performance hit, but it just seems to be sitting there idle ever since I ripped out the (pointless for this build, IMO) prefix input's anyway.
WOW you are really true code master man, how long do you think will this take you to have a working GPU build?

@theymos, have you considered to hire the OP as a moderator? what is that saying I see sometimes? Oh, if you want to become a moderator, reporting is the way, you will be noticed. Unless forum currently has no need for new moderator. Otherwise this one here fits perfect, ofcourse I don't know everything I'm just speaking out of publicly available information.

@OP, thank you 3000 times.😘

Congrats to the other winners! I'm touched that so many people went out of their way to vote for me.

I decline any prize.........

Thanks for organizing this, icopress!
I'm seeing this just now, the man doesn't believe he was chosen as a winner, this reaction reminds me of Oscars where the winner is really touched when he/ she finds out they voted for him/ her. And the declining part also reminded me of the late great Marlon Brando refusing to accept the award.

keeping funds safe for users here.......  I know how much people here love to group themselves.
You need to loosen up a little, everyone knows you are a trusted escrow, though I have never seen you doing anything other than that, maybe that's because I never visit the boards you frequent. Being recognized as a trusted member is enough of an achievement one could possibly reach given the nature of this forum.
1950  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Risk of jail for developers. Should you be anonymous? on: February 06, 2023, 07:14:04 AM
A government can legislate that developing "cryptocurrencies" enables money laundering, terrorism and whatnot, and suddenly any developer is under threat ot being arrested if they are not anonymous. Of course any developed democracy would need to go through various proceedings to get such a thing done.
The only government that could SUDDENLY do this is the biggest terrorist organisation in the world ( US ).
In fact having anonymous ninja developers is the best course of action for those who want to use a certain coin for illicit purposes. *"what is scary is having a well established dev team becoming celebrities in developer's community."

If you see nobody has touched them for over a decade, start investigating the cause. And let me save you the time, the reason is for convenience, it saves the government the time  and resources, it's easier to control the situation if they know where they are and what they do all the time.

If you start to think like the crooked agents of evil ( governments elites ), you can see the reasoning behind some events more clearly.

*= one can imagine such a thing to be bad, it's not. Keeping the agents of evil satisfied is a compromise but worth it as long as we the normal users can do with bitcoin as intended.

1952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chainanalysis: s brief report about crypto laundering on: February 05, 2023, 06:56:38 PM
Firstly, chainanalysis is not a reliable source, secondly, what is considered money laundering in some jurisdictions could be a normal practice of circumventing financial sanctions in other jurisdictions. A BIG LOL for KYC is needed here.
1953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright's Latest Escapade -- Give me the bitcoins I stole from Mt. Gox! on: February 05, 2023, 05:50:13 PM
Thanks for the tip!
Here is another tip, Bitcoin developer have no contractual relationship with the users, bitcoin software is open source, that's why there is no terms of service included, because the software it self is not a service, therefore the developers have no obligations to users. Furthermore they work as volunteers on the software and could at any moment quit their voluntary duty as a developer, with that being said, only some idiot you call judge/ court, would deem such claim lawful.
Bitcoin developers could actually sue CW if he manages to call them to the court, I'd suggest him to consider this fact before embarrassing himself any more.  

Edit to include this for the lawyers and judges if they missed it.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Egido Val and i´m an artist.
Been on and off with bitcoin for years.
Today i just made this art inspired by Banksy and Bitcoin. Hope you like it!
Feel free to share. If you want to see more of my art just look into my username on twitter @egidoval



Why is Satoshi old and ugly in your art?🤣 he can barely stand in the picture, let alone throwing the bitcoin off the charts, lol.

Do you guys know how to run python?

Will this work?
Code:
...
        pubkey = ecdsa.VerifyingKey.from_address(address)
...

Well, it might work if the method ecdsa.VerifyingKey.from_address exists, and it is possible to extract a public key from an address.
It's not complete, correct? That's the chatGPT code, it once gave me a code to decode an encoded ETH signed message which no other tool could do, I thought maybe this one could be quicker to use for verifying.
1957  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: VanBitCracken - a program to use for 32 BTC challenge (supports RTX 30xx cards) on: February 04, 2023, 01:43:47 AM
Do you use CPU on the random search? I just used -t 2 and my speed went up from 28 MK to 31.5 MK also the random key points increased from 4 to 6, however adding -t 4 didn't increase the speed but generated 2 more random points.

I was wondering, do random key points depend on GPU/ CPU cores or we can generate more maybe by changing grid size? Though changing grid size never generates more key points. Lol I think I just realized what parallel computing is.

Complexity of the universe, the Earth and life, ... It's too big and too complex to be anything other than a construct.
In order to back up that statement you have to show that a construct is the only possibility, and that there are no other possibilities, including inconceivable ones.
Otherwise, it is only your opinion and not a fact.

... entropy ...

Entropy refers to an entire system and not an isolated part. Energy coming from the sun powers the creation, sustenance, and evolution of life and all of its complexity.


Can you tell me the probability of life forming by itself/ accident in the given time of earth's age? How long does it take for elements to come together and form a living organism? If you knew the answer, you wouldn't have said that energy from the sun creates life.

If you put necessary elements that are needed to form as a living organism in a jar/ planet, it would take trillions of years for them to form, and that's just the estimate when we account for the probability. Earth is not that old.
