Ich sehe gerade dieses Projekt und bin baff... wie habt ihr es geschafft Kollisionen zu finden?

Bei einem Suchraum 2^134 und 2797 MKeys/s und sagen wir mal 100.000.000 Adressen mit Guthaben dauert es nach meiner Rechnung durchschnittlich immer noch

(2^134 / 2.797.000.000 / 100.000.000 / 3600 / 24 / 365) = 2468995768793653 Jahre bis eine Kollision gefunden wird.

Hattet ihr bisher einfach nur unfassbar viel Glück... oder wo ist mein Denkfehler?

I need help with my BitcoinZ wallet. I am using the MyBitcoinZ client (which looks a little smartphone like) and generated a second address to receive coins. The btcz explorer shows that coins are sent to this second address, but the coins are not showing up in the wallet.

What can I do? I tried to export the private keys, but I need to provide a password and get an AES encrypted JSON file. I want to use the bitcoinz wallet with the Java UI, but I don't know how to import my private keys...

2FA codes not accepted anymore - my account has been locked, too. Seems to be a general problem for several days now. Sad it has not been fixed yet.

I hope the support acts quickly...


26  Local / Trading und Spekulation / Re: Bitcoin, immer noch Milionärspotenzial? on: November 24, 2017, 06:38:21 PM
Sieh es mal so: Die aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung beim Bitcoin beträgt ca. $ 136,- Mrd.

Allein die Marktkapitalisierung von Apple (Aktien) beträgt derzeit $ 756,- Mrd.

Das bedeutet noch seeehr viel Luft nach oben für den Bitcoin  Smiley

Mit Verlaub, das ist total Quarck.

Apple ist ein seit ein seit über 40 Jahren existierendes, extrem erfolgreiches Unternehmen mit echtem inneren Wert. Der Bitcoin hat überhaupt gar keinen echten Wert. Der Preis basiert auf reiner Spekulation. Insofern sind die $136Mrd. schon eine sehr hohe Kapitalisierung! Das heißt nicht, dass wir irgendwann x10 sehen könnten, aber nicht aufgrund dieser Argumentation.

Und die 136 Milliarden Dollar sollte man kritisch sehen. 15-20% aller Bitcoins sind für immer verloren, da in der frühen Phase sehr sorglos mit den Wallets umgegangen wurde - es ging ja auch nur um Cent-Beträge. 10% der Bitcoins hat immer noch Satoshi, weitere 20% sind in den Händen von Kriminellen, die seit dem Ende von BTC-e nur noch schwer auscashen können. Die Liquidität ist EXTREM gering. Den "Circulating Supply", der für die Marktkapitalisierung mit dem aktuellen Preis multipliziert wird, würde ich auf 2-3 Millionen BTC schätzen. Wenn plötzlich 1% der Apple-Aktien verkauft werden, drückt das den Kurs um vielleicht 4-5%. Wenn auf einen Schlag 1% der Bitcoins verkauft werden, also 170.000 BTC... auweia - da sind wir zurück im zweistelligen Bereich. :-)

Es hat schon seine Gründe, warum Bitcoin so extrem volatil ist...

Please keep in mind that the developers premined 100K coins (currently ~ 25 Million Dollars!!) at the new BTG blockchain. They were involved in ICO scams in the past and were caught manipulating pool software to their favour.

All six developers are millionaires right now - and I am pretty sure they don't give a shit what will happen to BTG in the future. We might even see the website go off in a few month after they dumped their coins. A lot of BTC users might dump their BTG for BTC or BCC soon - it's really risky to buy right now.

There are a lot of good coins with honest developers and a bright future out there. Pick one of those and support them. I sold my BTG @ 0.025 and I am happy - even if the price keeps rising. I bought some LTC, VTC and GRS for the free money. These coins are a more promising long-term investment.

Anonymous author violates the GPL and everyone is celebrating?! I reported this thread to a moderator and wrote a mail to mega.nz to remove this illegal software. Everyone should do the same.
Unfortunately nobody gives a fuck about GPL violations ;/
There are quite a few closed source miners on here that do exactly this and have always remained unsanctioned.

Anonymous author violates the GPL and everyone is celebrating?! I reported this thread to a moderator and wrote a mail to mega.nz to remove this illegal software. Everyone should do the same.

You should sit back and relax. Take a look at the increase in hashrate this dev made on this algo for amd cards.

Just hoping he will consider opening his miner software to other pools.

It doesn't take much effort to change the DNS or even reroute the nicehash IP so you can mine on any pool you wish.
It also doesn't take much effort to remove his fee https://github.com/Demion/nodevfee even easier to linux with netsed.
So yeah if you're pissed at him for violating GPL, violate him instead.

I am not pissed. It just illegal - and it's sad that no one cares. By the way - this software could have a keylogger and might copy your wallet.dat... it's careless to use software from an unknown source just to gain a few percent mining power.

50% premine - who buys such a scam coin? I don't get why coinmarketcap does not show the truth. That's what they say:

Market Cap: $947,249,300
Circulating Supply: 42,256,600 HSR
Max Supply: 84,000,000 HSR
Rank: 14

How the hell are premined coins circulating?

And that's the truth:
Market Cap: $5,752,972
Circulating Supply: 256,600 HSR
Max Supply: 84,000,000 HSR
Rank: 309

This is decentralized development coin. That's why we can have similar situations now and in the future It is additional risk.
Satoshi technology guarantees consistency here - original chain will always be active.

bitconz-pod team supports only original chain with core principles and immutability as the core value. Original chain will never be obsolete.
BTCZ is fully decentralized, any dev resistant and no one can stop original chain. Any change to consensus automatically creates new coin / hardfork.

Good luck with your new coin. You already have new github. It would be better to rebrand new chain to different name, ticker and new ann thread to not mislead investors. We can end up with two different philosophy chains similar to ZCL / ZEN.
There is no problem when you just rebrand new chain and add reply protection or just start from scratch - community coin with dev tax + voting may be needed on the market. Then direct competition / similar coins will be DASH or ZEN not BTC.

BitconZ will never:
- change supply & halving periods - always x1000 bitcoin = 21 000 000 000 (12500 coins per block halving every 4 years)
- add any tax - similar to bitcoin every tax is banned
- add masternodes / secure nodes - always all coins goes to miners - pools by default provide infrastructure nodes
BitcoinZ devs & contributors are always volunteers.

BitcoinZ is focused on organic growth. New exchanges may appear in long time. Dont expect huge gains in short time.

New coin updates are automatically merged from zcash / bitcoin core repos. There is no need to add dev tax as BitcoinZ coin core will always have the same features like zcash / bitcoin. Merge is simple operation and doesn't require any dev fee.


This is good news. But I am confused... you are the true head of BitcoinZ and have control over Github repo and website? You did not initiate the facebook voting?

I really appreciate your statement!

To can explain how it works, there is 1440 minutes in a day. The block time is 2.5 minutes. (BitcoinZ tries to make the blocktime 2.5 minutes by adjusting the difficulty).
So we can take the number 1440 and divide it by 2.5 and we get 576 blocks a day.
So now we take 576 blocks and times it by the 250 coins out of 6250 coins in a reward. 250 coins for every block mined. So 576 * 250 = 144,000 coins.
250 coins a block in bitcoin is 0.0002 bitcoins a block or in dollars = 1.34 dollars (calculating at bitcoin price of 6700$).
so now we can times 1.34$ dollars a block by 576 to get the daily amount. (24 hours). which would be 576 * 1.34 = 771.84$ a day
Now this 771.84$ a day does not go to the developers either. It goes into a community chest. A community chest is something that anyone can propose to use and it can be voted on and the funds will be released to that person or group of people, or project, or cost, or bill.
For example if 'Dan' wanted to make a website about BitcoinZ and make a video or something for the community. You can make a proposal and ask for 500$ to do it. And everyone that wants to vote will vote, and if its approved, you will receive 500$ from the chest.
It does not pay developers. Its made so that money is available to help the progress of BitcoinZ.
There is 0$ allocated to developers. The only thing a developer can do is make a proposal and say what they are making, and receive funding by people voting.
I don't know of another crypto currency that does this.

Most do. It's still called dev-tax. Even if you are willing to give it to other developers.

How did other coins survive? Take Vertcoin for example. One of the few second generation coins, which actually survived. And why did it survive? Great community, no premine, no dev-tax, no ico, fair start. And it never changed the rules to anyones favour. It only changed the rules to stay ASIC-resistent. If you want to succeed, take a look at the story of Vertcoin. The key is consistency. How do you want to attract investors if you don't stick to your rules?

It takes a lot of time and hard work to get into the TOP-50-cryptocurrencies. You are currently trying to speed things up and use some kind of shortcut. It won't work. You seem to be a clever guy. Overthink your decision. I am fine either way. If you change the rules, there will be a short spike up for sure. I take the profit, say thank you and move on to the next coin. If you stick to your initial rules, I keep my coins and stay patient.

 if you want a coin that scales you need a product attractive to buyers (investors), and nobody is buying your product if the supply is 350M in a week and 450M a few days later... People that bough at 0.01$ a few days back already lost 50% of their investment!. Halving is not dreaming on lambos.. is giving this thing a chance to survive or get ready to be the DOGE 2.0 And no we don´t need more doges please.


The inflation for each coin was heavy in the beginning. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Vertcoin - just pick any of the coins with a fair start. If you have X coins after one week, you will have 2*X coins after 2 weeks. Within the next two weeks, the amount of coins will double again. And so on... This is 1st grade math. And guess what - despite the heavy inflation, these coins survived. They did not care about investors or whatever. They set the rules in the beginning and did not change them since then. And that's how its done.

DOGE was a story of success... with some bad decisions at the end. The BitcoinZ developers are making bad decisions right at the beginning: manipulating the protocol to their favour. But do whatever you want. I don't give a s**t anymore. As I said: I am out.

Do I get this right? You want to lock up 250 coins per block? This coin started as "not-premined" and "no-dev tax". A just a few weeks later you want to change that because you did not get rich yet?

I am going to dump my coins as soon as possible and tell everyone I once told to invest in BitCoinZ to do the same.

I vote +1 for renaming in GreedyVultureCoin. R.I.P. BitcoinZ.

There's nothing wrong about changing block reward as long as it's a change that makes sense. Dogecoin started with a random block reward like Luckycoin, which code was used for the coin, and then changed it to 250,000 fixed and continued its reward halving schedule. Dogecoin supply was meant to be capped but they discovered a bug in the code that would make it not be capped. Then IIRC Jackson Palmer though it was a good idea to keep it uncapped and there was no problem about that. Coins can have many problems (wolong, moolah). Block reward changing is not one of them.

Edit: typo

this halving of the block reward is a great way to improve a coin

How does it improve the coin? It just makes YOUR coins more valueable. Nothing else.

This coin started as a fair coin, like only a few coins in the past did. And now some people get greedy and want to see their BitcoinZ gain value as quick as possible. This is so sad. I hold about ~2 Million of those coins and guess what - I don't want the block rewards to be changed and I don't want halving black reward to happen sooner, because I want this coin to stay fair. I want many many new people to get a cheap start into cryptocurrency. Isn't it was this coin was all about?

If you change the rules right now, this coin is nothing but scam - like most other coins. Please keep that in mind. Don't get greedy!
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Losing faith in BTC... on: November 12, 2017, 10:29:48 PM
Let's face the truth: bitcoin is growing - that's what we were all hoping for. But Bitcoin can no longer handle the amount of transactions. Segwit changed NOTHING. If the blocksize will not be increased, bitcoin is going to die slowly and other coins will take over. Kick the developers asses as hard as you can and force them to increase the block size. NOW!
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I payed $20 for a BTC transaction 2 hours ago, still 0 confirmations on: November 12, 2017, 10:23:47 PM
Calm down, the number of late transaction s rapidly going down, this attack will be finished very soon. Conclusion, it has FAILED as all these attacks before you.

This is no attack... the transaction rate is close to normal. Miners switched to Bitcoin Cash, because it is more profitable. Block time was huge, transactions were not processed. Situation will normalize, because difficulty for BCH just exploded, but this is the second time this year, that we were close to 200K transaction backlog. This MUST NOT happen again, otherwise people lose trust in bitcoin.

This is what happens if mining is centralized. The greedy miners actually don't care about transactions waiting to be confirmed. It's all about profit.

The bitcoin team must increase the block size as soon as possible, otherwise BCH will take over in the long run. The situation is very serious.
38  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC-e hacked ?? on: August 09, 2017, 06:28:49 PM
What do they have (USD):
- 143 million Ether (wallet 0x8eb3fa7907ad2ef4c7e3ba4b1d2f2aac6f4b5ae6)
- 6 million LTC https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ltc/address.dws?LMiB7oeBTMdwZg8VKjcCiguseodYYaixLP.htm
- 6 million PPC https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ppc/address.dws?PJoTa6ScCbtP23aJfDUg88do79t14FWUXW.htm
- 13 million small coins (i saw some wallets coming by, i think they all were like 4-5million per coin.
- 100 million BTC (There should have been at least the same amount in Bitcoin as in in Ether so to be on the save side put it at 100 million)
- 10 million BTC Cash (10% of BTC)
- Lost 110 million fine
That totals 388 million at least. so it can't be 45% loss in that case. (110/388=28% loss)


These were the BTC-e cold wallets before mixing started:
https://blockchain.info/address/16ZbpCEyVVdqu8VycWR8thUL2Rd9JnjzHt
https://blockchain.info/address/19QzVvFZbHV4gcvmSYw3yup5RaBXgMeXay
They have at least 132.000 coins. This is more than 400 Million US$ + another 40 Million US$ in BTC Cash. They could easily pay the fine
with the winnings they made in the last 2 weeks by just holding the coins. There is for sure enough coins/fiat to refund everybody, but...
what can you do? KYC/AML is just a hazzle to keep even more coins. I am pretty sure the head of BTC-e ends up being a billionaire.

Well, that's the game. Verification is no problem for me... they got my data anyway, because I once lost my password. So I will get
a few bucks back. I hope each one in this forum will get his/her coins, too. Good luck everybody!


39  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC-e hacked ?? on: August 09, 2017, 08:57:35 AM

Please tell me I am wrong! But I can't imagine any other story at the moment...


You are very wrong and have a very bad understanding of how bitcoin works.

Then please tell me: why do they put such a huge effort in coin mixing and wallet splitting? There seems
to be no time to keep customers updated about their progress of setting up a new exchange. But there
is enough time to hide the customers coins. Yeah, sounds completely logical...

My prediction: short post on sunday that they have trouble setting up a new exchange
and need another 2 weeks. And they will advise us to keep calm.







 
40  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC-e hacked ?? on: August 09, 2017, 12:02:41 AM
I had some hope before (see my last post), but it is gone. I've been using BTC-e since early 2013 and moved a lot of coins back and forth.

After some coin tracing, I am sure that these were the cold wallets of BTC-e:
https://blockchain.info/address/16ZbpCEyVVdqu8VycWR8thUL2Rd9JnjzHt
https://blockchain.info/address/18f1yugoAJuXcHAbsuRVLQC9TezJ6iVRLp
Most of my coins I moved to BTC-e ended up in these wallets.

It seemed reasonable that they moved the coins to a different wallet, because the FBI might find the privat key in some seized equipment.
But why would they split these wallet into thousands of new wallets? They created more than 20000 new wallets within a few days. Is
that some kind of coin mixing? Why all that effort? Aren't they busy setting up a new website? These thousands of new wallets make it
much more complicated to refund the users.

I am sorry, but there is just one storyline left:
Cold wallet address of BTC-e was probably well known to the sharks. Owners of BTC-e were afraid that miners could block that specific address forever if they just
run with the coins. And they would have had a hard time cashing out in any exchange. So they set up the story of refunding everyone,
which gave them the time to mix the coins, making it impossible for miners and exchanges to block all of the new addresses. It's done now and
all what's left is silence.

Please tell me I am wrong! But I can't imagine any other story at the moment...
