You can send your BTC away after 0 confirmations if you export the private key and use any other wallet. This is really easy so everyone should be able to do it.

Yes but then he compromizes the security of the wallet.

Suppost 1 of them goes scammer , the other wallet is still holding, if you expose the private key to both services then you double your risk of theft.

It's not a good idea to mix services just as its not a good idea to use the same password in all websites, its the same logic.

What are you talking about??? Sending a transaction doesn't reveal your private key.

How can I find out the acitivty needed for legendary for a certain account?

AFAIK, you can't. Just somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity.

AFAIK you can, theymos said that atleast. Maybe only staff can look it up though.

Sorry, I found it. But still, you need to know how to read this code ...

Can you make getting legendary provability fair? So we know if you don't like us that we get it anyway Smiley

Nah, that'd significantly complicate things. Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient.

Code:
update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concat(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10);

The required activity level per user is suitably random for betting, but anyone who can read my code (there are a few such people) will be able to exactly predict when someone will become Legendary, so I don't really recommend it.

Perfect. Now I just need a mod that can tell me the secretSeed!

Oh and to answer OP more specifically:
Most big players in bitcoin trading do not care about the bitcoin technology, which saddens me being a bitcoin enthusiast myself.
They will just keep pumping and dumping, leeching more and more money out of the market. That is also one of the many reasons we keep seeing lower prices.

How will this end? No one knows...

Trading has nothing to do with the technologie anyways. One is a financial decision, the other is a technical innovation.

Please show me how your argument is relevant.

Bitmixer.io sounds like a nice opportunity, but their investment is full and they don't accept no new deposits. Sad
i think it is a good opportunity too but the problem is the minimum amount of investment is 100 BTC.
their website doesn't say anything about not accepting new investment.

100 BTC? C`mon guys, who would risk 100 BTC with unknown and unreachable people.

If they steal 100 BTC whan can you do about it?

Plus its just stupid, why would you invest 100BTC in it when others let you invest as little as 0.001 BTC, its just silly in my opinion

You have a really narrow world view. Just because some amount of money is big for you, it must be for everyone else?

An investment is not good or bad depending on the amount invested. I bet most of your 0.001 BTC investments are worse than this particular 100 BTC investment in terms of expected ROI and risk.

Guys be careful. Scammers are at it again:

26  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do whales harm themselves with the dumps? on: March 21, 2015, 05:22:37 PM
It is more profitable for traders to have volatility. In this market you can make money every day.

I see holding bitcoin, and waiting for everyone else to push the price up for you, as way more of a gamble. You're not in control of this situation at all which is too risky for me. You let the whales play with your balls. If they decide to dump you are rekt.

Thus, if you know how to trade, multiplying your investment by trading is more likely than by playing the holding and waiting game.

But moving the market can be very bad for you too.

Google slippage.

My issue was resolved by Bitfinex. Well, with the help of user urwhatuknow in particular.
Thank you!

"user" is a bit missleading, as he is the CEO (?) or founder.

Consider engraving your private key into a block of tungsten



With a melting point of 3422 °C if would be the only thing left if your house burn down.
And with approximate same density as gold, the block is rather heavy to pick up and run away with.


Just for the info of anyone trying to sweep it:

Did you really take the time to enter that priv key into bitaddress.org?

I contacted them and inquired about an investment over 100 BTC. but they said that they are currently at capacity and don't accept new investments.

You don't need any confirmation, but double spend risk is higher
So, even your client allow you to re-send your money without any confiramtion, it's better wait for a confirmation

But, some people always said 6 confirmation is necessary Sad

But you are sending those transactions yourself. Whom would you have to trust then?

Or do you mean as the receiving party?
33  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Selling a RARE 10BTC 1oz Silver Casascius Coin on: March 21, 2015, 05:08:54 PM
13.75 BTC

Oh, just realized that you have not got it graded, no interest then, sorry.
You do realize that one of these just sold for 20 BTC here by bitmarket.io his asking price was 20 BTC and he seemed to be pretty firm on his price. There were also a number of people who were offering several BTC above your offer.
 

It's just an offer, there is nothing wrong with offering something, right?

Also I like graded coins as they are authenticated.

BTER's SSL cert has expired..  very professional.  Roll Eyes

Saw that too. Had to chuckle. How does this even happen?

I'm just speculating but they could have bought it from a non-authorized vendor for a fraction of what it's normally sold. Those vendors don't stay around for too long.

It's just an expired SSL cert every certificate has an expiration date (not a good thing, but might happen sometimes when you are lazy or don't care about security like in BTERs case)..

"a non-authorized vendor" is not a problem, you will still get the error msg, your browser/windows has a list of verified ssl vendors and if the sites ssl is not from one of them then you will get that message.

Why woudln't a big company like BTER buy a authorized SSL cert?

Speaking of keys, I'm pretty sure we've just unlocked the key to gaining mass adoption. We just need to get everyone started with electron raster microscopes

I see what you did there Wink
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guard your Bitcoin with Stainless Steel Cold Storage on: March 21, 2015, 04:53:49 PM
Seems pretty cool. But it shouldn't be so small or expensive and they should use gold instead of steel.
Gold melts at 1,064°C. Stainless melts at about 1,450°C.

I think calme was referring to the store of wealth aspect. Physical bitcoin storage made out of gold is pretty highly demanded in the community.
Just playin' around. A lot of ppl take pride in saying what they mean and meaning what they say. If that's what they're into then right on.  Grin

Wink

I also agree with your point on adding a gold version. I would love something like that. Functional gold.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guard your Bitcoin with Stainless Steel Cold Storage on: March 21, 2015, 04:51:04 PM
I don't understand how these types of things are safe when the person who makes them has access to your private keys.

No they don't. Only you have access to your private key, you are the one who assembles the letters in order, not the manufacturer.

One question with that. BTC addresses have checksums. Don't private keys too? How do you do that manually than?

You have a seven step guide here, it's easy:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format

There are also several offline utilities to do it securely, but you should not choose your private key arbitrarily in the first place. You wallet can export the private key in WIF format doing all that work for you.

Ok that is good. Because in the description it sounded like you shuffle those pins around in a sack and then just pick one after another and put it in. That can't work...

So sad that JD stopped the BTC currency. There is a big void now and those shady suckers exploit that and apparently people trust everyone :/
JD has CLAM now, indeed is not the same as with btc yet, but give it time CLAM is still pretty new. I think JD with clams is not that bad i like it.

Sure, but my point was that you can't invest your BTC there. And most people want to invest BTC, not sell BTC and invest then.
Thats not a problem, thats why you have offsite, if you have 10 btc, buy with one offsite 10x and you have the same. Smiley

That is completely false logic. You are still not investing in BTC and have swings that are not related to the investment or BTC itself.

Okay, so that model was just for ppl w/ really big asses then. I'll take the small ass version.

Ohh, I did not realize this requirement.

In that case you might want to look into "Chip gratify".





This has been know since the dawn of microchips, if you as a chip designer have some free real estate on the silicon, then is there room for "artistic structures", this could just as well be a QR code with the private key.

I am confident that this should last for at least 100 years and fit into most rectums.

and then you need an electron raster microscop to read the QR codes?
