Thanks, cloud9!
No problem! Happy to help mate. Smiley

Try posting this to the marketplace mate. Maybe that is the reason why nobody is interested to buy your ticket because its posted on the wrong section.

The media manipulated us to hodl! “Big money’s coming” meanwhile they dump there load all over us!
Where did you get this? Include always the source to prevent more FUDs spreading. This is useless, it is becoming tiresome to always see these kind of topic whenever the price of bitcoin reaches a state of decline. We should have been used to this kind of setup because it happened a lot and we should be able to make a bold move to counter whatever whales are doing behind the scene. We are powerless compared to them so this is the best we could do.
Good suggestion. These kinds of statements make a huge impact just so you know. Kindly provde reference links to these kinds of matter moving forward to avoid FUd.

Its good that you are earning a nice amoubt from those social media bounties but im afraid your strategy might not work for everyone who joins the bounty campaigns.

Find someone that will make you happy and very active everyday like a girlfriend or boyfriend. You can only overcone that if thiers someone that will motivate you to live more and be happy whatever the situation is my friend.

Lastly and most effective is learn how to pray and ask for Gods guidance. It sounds be unrealistic but it works most of the time. Hopefully I was able to help you with my simple message.  😇

Its a good opportunity but for sure you wont get enough payments for joining those bounty campaigns. Since you are just newbies.

Its been many years since I accessed my account and it seems there has been a lot of changes here including the merit system. Can someone give me the right link to know why they have decided give merits and what are its main purposes?

Only the User owning the username can send the 0.01wxyz number of btc from the associated address to his account with the service provider (he owns the wallet.dat and only him can send from the associated address)

While the idea that only the owner of the wallet can send from said address sounds nice, I'm sure this will cost endless grief in real life.  For one thing, users of online wallets cannot use this system, and users that have their own wallet really have to know what they're doing in order to send from a certain address.  It may be secure, but certainly not user friendly.

Cheers,

Here comes the opensource implementation bitcoinjs (webcoin), a webbased java client to the rescue , allowing bitcoin webservices where you keep your eeny, weeny, tiny kilbytes wallet.dat file on your local machine and separated from the gigantic, bulky, chunky, monstrous soon to be gigabytes blockchain file which is now for this service kept centrally on a server (and this centrally kept blockchain can be verified against other sources of the blockchain for the paranoid).
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: an idea for easy two-factor authentication (Attn: Mt.Gox) on: July 05, 2011, 08:21:36 AM
With the 0.01wxyz 0/? confirmation bitcoin login - only the user owning the username knows what wxyz the service provider requires (displayed in https),

and

Only the User owning the username can send the 0.01wxyz number of btc from the associated address to his account with the service provider (he owns the wallet.dat and only him can send from the associated address)



Thus ensuring trust with the Bitcoin network at no cost - to enable trusted second layer login in addition to username, password combinations.  The waiting time should not be that long for the 0/? confirmation to propagate through the distributed/decentralized bitcoin network from the user to the service provider - mostly instantaneous.  Double spending is not of importance in this instance.  The balance of the user's account with the service provider can be adjusted only after more confirmations, enabling the user to transfer the random bitcoins again for other uses.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: an idea for easy two-factor authentication (Attn: Mt.Gox) on: July 05, 2011, 07:59:30 AM
The cost in bitcoins of the 0.01wxyz btc login pin 0/? confirmation scheme would be zero as the 0.01wxyz btc gets transferred to the owner's own account at the service provider anyway (the owner of the bitcoins being the service user attempting to login by transferring the random agreed number of bitcoins).

But regardless, at worst 0.019999 btc = ~0.29US$ at present, and 0.010000 btc = ~0.15US$.

This number of bitcoins can however be transferred back to any address the owner likes as it has remained his property - it is just temporarily used to verify ownership of an address on file with the service provider (and thus verifying account ownership - whether anonymously or not).
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: an idea for easy two-factor authentication (Attn: Mt.Gox) on: July 05, 2011, 07:51:10 AM

Please note that both transfers for login purposes can be sent without transfer fees as they exceed 0.1 btc minimum.

That would be BTC 0.01, right?

Cheers,

I'll correct, thanks!

Wouldn't the easiest two factor login for Bitcoin not just be to:

On registration you give a bitcoin sending login address you own to the service provider, for example 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1.  To confirm that it is actually you attempting to login, the service provider gives a four digit random number , for example 5783 (wxyz, w=5, x=7, y=8, & z=3) - and he confirms your identity on 0/ confirmations when you've sent 0.015783 (0.01wxyz) to the service provider's associated address for your account FROM your bitcoin login sending address (registered for login purposes and on file with the service provider), ie. 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 .  The service provider confirms from the blockchain that you did sent 0.015783 (0.01wxyz) from your address on file with the service provider, ie. 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 , and allows you access (because as the owner of 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 only you should be able to actually spend from this address).

Please note that both transfers for login purposes can be sent without transfer fees as they exceed 0.01 btc minimum.

There's no real way right now to send coins from a specific address.

There is - you just spend all your coins in your wallet to a certain address in your wallet that you own and it consolidates into the destination address and empties all other addresses.  You can also have a dedicated wallet.dat just for this purpose if you do not want to mess up your other keys.

Wouldn't the easiest two factor login for Bitcoin not just be to make use of Bitcoin's intrinsic cryptographic values:

On registration you give a bitcoin sending login address you own to the service provider, for example 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1.  To confirm that it is actually you attempting to login, the service provider gives a four digit random number , for example 5783 (wxyz with w=5,x=7,y=8 & z=3)- and he confirms your identity on 0/ confirmations when you've sent 0.015783 (0.01wxyz) to the service provider's associated address for your account FROM your bitcoin login sending address (registered for login purposes and on file with the service provider), ie. 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 .  The service provider confirms from the blockchain that you did sent 0.015783 (0.01wxyz) from your address on file with the service provider, ie. 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 , and allows you access (because as the owner of 13Ycm33vMGUo2HCu87pXZtqNapx8Cjjhb1 only you should be able to actually spend from this address).

Please note that both transfers for login purposes can be sent without transfer fees as they exceed 0.01 btc minimum.

It seems like Bitcoin after all has some other useful uses than just a medium of exchange!

36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Serious situation with TradeHill imminent on: July 03, 2011, 12:13:39 AM
I can't disclose my sources, but I can say with some confidence that Australian authorities are going to move on TradeHill sometime this week or next week. The sad part is that TradeHill easily - EASILY - could have obtained licensing or some sort of exemption from Australian financial authorities. Other investigations won't be far behind.


Tradehill refers to Bitcoins as digital goods/commodity like MtGox does.  With regards to financial services, it makes a big difference to a trade provider whether it is an online market place, or a financial exchange of contracts/promissary notes/stocks representing other things of value with no intrinsic value itself.

Bitcoins that you buy/sell/(trade for goods) is a digital good/crypto-commodity that can amongst other uses (digital identification signatures, message encryption, secure web logins) be bartered as a medium of exchange or crypto-currency.

It seems like Australia and the United Kingdom's tax offices view Bitcoins as having intrinsic value as a commodity (although used as P2P crypto-currency/medium of exchange in barter transactions).  see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/08/bitcoin_under_attack/

UK considers Bitcoins taxable unique property assets? : "... quoting Her Magesty’s Revenue & Customs as saying that turning Bitcoins into currency could make transactions taxable..."  (turning Bitcoins into currency, turning a digital good into a national currency)

Australian Tax Office considers Bitcoins taxable unique property assets: "... If traced by the Australian Tax Office, Bitcoins would probably get the same treatment as “barter” exchanges, with tax assessed on the value of traded goods or services. ..." (barter of digital goods/services)

June 2011 will be remembered as the month when the public was shocked by this new technology called Bitcoin - and Bitcoin was shocked by a subset of the public with ill intentions.  Now that the boat has been rocked - can it be rocked again?  What other events might trigger such a spike in interest?  What other events might trigger similar caution?
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Codename: EasyCoin on: July 02, 2011, 11:41:33 PM
While Bitcoin in an honest user implementation is a very secure, purchased digital cryptographic key pair - produced by tiresome numbercrunching making it a scarce, precious commodity subset amongst the other useless 0's and 1's of the bit domain.  Its production costs (due to variable difficulty adjustment and production effort required - proof of WORK - same as a gold coin proofs that you have done some prospecting, excavation and extraction work to obtain it) would always tend to marginally meet its trade value.  An honestly obtained Bitcoin (set of cryptographic key pairs) is not a laundered instrument - it is a scarce, precious, digital asset amongst its domain.  An honestly obtained gold coin is not a laundered instrument - although it could also be - it is a scarce, precious, physical asset amongst its domain.  Bitcoin digital goods falls under the auspices of the digital manufacturing industry, and if it is transmitted via a telecommunications network - this communication will fall under the auspices of the telecommunications industry.

However an instrument/contract be it digital, paper, verbally or any other form, representing a commodity of intrinsic cryptographic value might fall under the auspices of the financial services industry.

See blindbitcoin.com ( https://blindbitcoin.com/ ) as an example of an instrument representing Bitcoin as an underlying commodity.  The legalities of such an implementation of Bitcoin might not be considered to be honest, in the same sense as laundering Bitcoin cryptographic keys (in the same way that any other digital/physical goods asset can be laundered) will not be considered a legal honest implementation of Bitcoin.
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is only good as digital gold and black-market currency. on: July 02, 2011, 11:07:24 PM
In its current form, Bitcoin is only practical as a store-of-value and for use in markets that require anonymity such as online black markets like SilkRoad. If you're betting on it being the general currency of the future, you have little ground to stand on.

I am working on a solution as we speak. See Codename: EasyCoin. Otherwise, don't hold your breath.

I'm done here.

Wow! How's that for someone who has invested "17 days, 6 hours and 40 minutes." into bitcoin.org to this day ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3278;sa=statPanel ).

Bitcoin digital good commodity (also used as currency / medium of exchange in barter transactions for other goods / services / currency) are being produced by a capital intensive network of computing power, human endeavor with accompanying running and maintenance cost to the beat of ~12 THash/sec, making it a VERY secure cryptographic key pair signing network.  This may be compared to an average laptop signing security of 600 kHash/sec - the Bitcoin network thus equates the calculation security of ~20 million laptops.  This network signs 50 new Bitcoins approximately every ~10 minutes with a precious unique cryptographic keypair that as a difficulty adjustment in its intrinsic value (that has been sieved and extracted to be mathematically pure amongst the numerous rubish combinations of 0's and 1's).

Gold physical commodity are being prospected, excavated and extracted at a similar high cost to its value.  It is increasingly more difficult to extract gold from the earth's crust.  Early humans have collected it from the surface, today some humans enter the bowls of the earth up to 3km in depth to collect the precious cargo, before it gets sieved and extracted to be 99,99% pure gold atoms.

As a question - how secure will your EasyCoin be - will it be very easy to counterfeit or will its value roughly equal its production cost.  Or will EasyCoin not be a digital commodity like Bitcoin (although it is also used as currency/medium of exchange , among its other uses like message signing, secure web identification, or message encryption) but just a script/promissary note currency, not having intrinsic cryptographic value?  If this is the case, wouldn't your project not be falling within the realms of digital manufactured goods and communications technology - but within the realms of financial services?

TradeHill's Australia venture is being handled so incompetently that it's only a matter of time before ASIC steps in. Once that regulatory body takes notice, it won't be long until others follow suit. Bitcoin has a chance - it just needs competent people behind it.

Australia's tax office has been quoted in online media, to be of the view that transactions involving Bitcoins, will be taxed in the same manner as barter transactions - projecting the view that in Australia, Bitcoin is viewed as a digital good that is bought or sold in exchange for national currency and bartered in exchange for goods or services.  It seems that their view is that Bitcoin as a digital commodity can also be used as a type of currency in medium of exchange barter transactions for other goods/services/currencies due to the commodity's valuable, scarce, cryptographic intrinsic properties.
