You can send your btc to 1KEqVE33JKh8LLQGmrV5pZDRBuiLx45E52, to be repaid on 4/15/2012

see you in 2 weeks! 1Nwrk5gLSoBfZ8n3fY9jVvA2RabWvHW8bD is the repayment address for the log
202  Economy / Lending / Re: 300 btc of loan/loans needed for 2 weeks on: April 01, 2012, 05:15:47 AM
please PM an address / post here when received.
I'd like to get in with 50 coins

and good luck mining!

You can give them to me!

Seriously though, I suggest investing into one of Goat's businesses. Currently, I have about 12 coins (6 each) invested into TYGRR-BANK and TYGRR-BOT both of which are investing opportunities Goat fronts.

i would not advise to put all funds into the same vehicle (here glbse.com, and this advice squared not put all funds into assets of the same issuer)
but +1 letting your bitcoins work in one of the listed (& good) companies.

as we speak about goat's businesses, he offers 3 completely different products
- mining (you buy a share of his bitcoin mining farm, income depends on mining difficulty & his electricity costs)
- loan (you lend him bitcoins for a fixed weekly reward, will be 2.5% / week as of this Tuesday)
- arbitrage (trading) bot (bot will exploit market inefficiencies and trade whenever a pair of exchange rates reaps benefit)

if he gets hit by a tuk-tuk, we're fine (he's a small elephant)
if he gets hit by a bus, we have a problem

https://glbse.com/asset/view/BTCSYN looks currently bit better (price/mining capacity)
price of the FPGA.contract gone mad ...
also other established mining companies are worth evaluation (MergedMining, BMMO, JLP-BMD, TyGrr ...)
choice is yours (if you give the stock exchange a try)
pity that the old charts from glbse 1.0 do not work anymore. despite not being updated they had valuable historical data.

also TYGRR-BANK is nice to look at. kind of lending but very transparent and can be traded publicly

so i changed my account to 2.0
and now i forgot my password  Shocked

i miss the send me my passwort button  Embarrassed

tl;dr; send Nefario your claim code to verify yourself ; )

OP: well, this is one of the things that are important but not yet there (not urgent)
nefario fixed critical things first, then urgent & important
and things around resetting forgotten passwords via email are simply not yet in the top X todo things.

you won't miss any dividends and your account will wait for you ...
just send him a PM or email (email might be actually better, you know, kind of proof it's you)
disclaimer: i know sender can be spoofed but it's still better than a PM to nefario "hi, I forgot my password, please reply to my pm here with a new password for account registered with email doctor.nefario@gmail.xxx or email it to my backup email rookie.hax0r@tormail.net"

let it be a reminder for you to take better care of your passwords and just bear with nefario to get back to you.

@all how could be password reset protected from potential abuse (brute force guessing registered emails and demanding password resend?). I mean, ok, password reset would be automated, email sent to the claimed address would be addressed to the email address registered with an account but I'm shivering with worries how easy it could be fetched and abused.

In my perfect dream world I would have a public key associated with my account and all emails from glbse would arrive encrypted so that the next poor guy w/o password would have to be in possession of the private key as well ... and that's another thing that can be forgotten or lost.

as it is now, you'll be probably asked details about your account (which shares did you own, can you remember approx what your btc balance was and stuff like that, to support your claim).
206  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have 6 bitcoins, what can I do? on: April 01, 2012, 03:18:16 AM
you can have a look at the bitcoin stock exchange (glbse.com)
there are mining companies where you can buy shares and receive dividends. just be careful when choosing the right ones
you will get asset denominated in btc, mining income is in btc, they pay dividends in btc.
it's like shares of gold mining companies, except this is bitcoin
207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: use blockchain for proof in court? on: March 31, 2012, 11:11:30 PM
Can I put a hash of a photo into the blockchain and use it later in court to prove that particular photo was taken before time x?

I posted private keys in semi-public forum to challenge users to grab a bitcoin and then refilled the address to see how fast they notice and grab it again. I have even no idea how many wallets have now that key. but that was intended and I would not use that key to exercise any kind of serious TX (like writing to blockchain for future use in court should be)

Then I think we agree that it is a bad idea to try to use it in court. As one can foresee the Prosecution telling the Jury only the defendant could send the money/msg. Then 'someone' else uses a copy of the wallet/private key to send money/msg and destroy the prosecution's case.

I'm willing to further discuss and finally probably also to agree that an indisputable link between a person and a transaction can not be established (issues with copies, backups, ...).
But (and I quote OP here) I would continue to argue that a hash of a digital file (a photo in this case) can be found in the blockchain and also that it can be proven when it has been included in the blockchain.

Why it's there, who's benefit it is I don't discuss. Just the fact that it's there and when it was included. Would the link between the file and it's fingerprint in blockchain stand?

edit: but my initial argument in this tread, you disproved it
208  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: GLBSE 2.0 open for testing on: March 31, 2012, 10:43:19 PM


Thanks! Hopefully no one sold because of it..  Actually that brings up a feature request..  Need a "shareholder of record date" function in GLBSE.  This is common practice in the "real" exchanges.

teek


Could you explain this a little more please.

I'm not his spokesperson and reserve the right to be wrong but what I understood is a feature request that would enable to pay dividends to the list of shareholders "as of the date = date entered in the dividend payment form"

so if I pay dividends each Sunday 6 a.m. GMT but I slept a bit longer and missed my committed time, somebody may have sold the shares at 9 a.m. and me a few hours later (lunch time) wants to set things right and would like to pay to shareholders from 6 a.m. moment.

@teek is that right ^^ ?
209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: use blockchain for proof in court? on: March 31, 2012, 10:35:23 PM
@BTC_bear very interesting questions, thought provoking. I'd start with a claim that private keys are secrets and that TX1 and TX2 could only be initiated by a person(s) with knowledge of the keys to sign ... and here are the keys.


Thanx.

 Just pointing out that private keys in no way ties it to a single entity or person even. A person's computer might have been compromised, or even by intent more than one person might have a copy of the private keys. I know of one business entity that does this. In fact, the QT Client does this.

Supposedly there are 3 persons with the ability to send a message to the client. (Gavin, Theymos, and Satoshi) Who sent the recent message to the clients about the security update?
 

I posted private keys in semi-public forum to challenge users to grab a bitcoin and then refilled the address to see how fast they notice and grab it again. I have even no idea how many wallets have now that key. but that was intended and I would not use that key to exercise any kind of serious TX (like writing to blockchain for future use in court should be)

the above example of a collective knowledge (especially the keys from bitcoin message function), I assume the key has been changed so Satoshi no longer knows it, unless Gavin and Theymos are married to each other, they should be able to testify against each other. If the key is the same since project inception, then it might be a problem if both deny writing that message and Satoshi would not show up in court.

I have multiple pgp keys and I share some of them willingly and proactively (cyber last will, trusted friends hold copies to settle my affairs in case of brain damage or death) but I still consider them as personal and do all I can to keep them safe and secret. some of the keys have even my name in them : )

... a feature request..  Need a "shareholder of record date" function in GLBSE.  This is common practice in the "real" exchanges.

that would make the dividend payments (optionally) more complicated.
asset manager would have to enter the date/time which should be taken into account for dividend distribution.

smells like Transfer agent (terminus technicus) and a lot of work

213  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Proof of authenticity (POA) using the bitcoin blockchain on: March 31, 2012, 09:36:26 PM
(If you modify Bitcoin, it's actually possible to create a transaction that sends 0 BTC to an address, which would also work. Then you don't have to destroy BTC.)

I thought it was legal to send 0.00 btc as long as I pay the .0005 fee

I like the approach of commit coin. they do not destroy the bitcoins at all, in fact the message is computed from the send to and send from transactions. but could be pruned from blockchain eventually. (unless a satoshi is left in the account, but that could be spend by the attacker and empty address pruned anyway)
maybe burning bitcoin is the cost of this

I'm not using another browser because I like my browsers to use less memory, not have excessive memory leaks, not crash and when/if they do crash, I don't like them taking the entire browser with it, instead of just that tab.  I also detest the fact that I must restart FF ever time I install or remove a plugin.  That got old back in 1995 when Windows 95 came out.  It's 2012 and yet FF still forces the issue.  Not only does it force you to restart when you remove a plug in, but it forces you to restart for nearly every single plugin you remove.  If you remove 10 plug ins a the same time, yep, you guessed.  Restart the browser 5 - 10 times.  heh.  30 tabs open in FF?  Want to leave your browser open for a couple weeks?  Hope you have over a gigabyte and a half of free memory!  FF is idiotic, that's why I don't use it.

I assume the reasons not to use IE go without saying.  Opera?  No thanks.  What's that leave that's even worth a mention?  Nothing... so there you have it, that's why I use Chrome.

hm, I did not bother to try chrome yet. I'm spoiled from the corporate IT world where I got used not to install anything, running obscure old versions of FF without the option to install any plugin and be glad that I don't have to run IE. so when at home, I open my old FF with almost no plugins as I'm used to ...

@Nefario ... the guy who wrote the malware replacing btc addresses in clipboard just created a thread about the project and is  answering questions (and returning coins). you probably get a new deposit soon from the guy who wrote you few days ago ; )
215  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to do document timestamping with the block chain? on: March 31, 2012, 06:27:15 PM
In order for this to work, ... If you hash a whole bunch of documents together, than all of those documents will need to be available to the third party.  This seems like it would be a problem.
The "master document" need not actually be all the day's collected documents - just a list of their hashes.  i.e. on day X at time Y in block B, a transaction occurred to a private key equal to the hash of master document Z, which therefore existed at that time.  In document Z, presented here Your Honours, we can see that there is the hash of "bob's_contract_of_employment.doc" exactly as shown here.
But how do you have a master document without having to trust anyone? What happens if the person with the master document disappears? IMO, one great part of bitcoin is the complete lack of need to trust a centralized party, but with a system with a "master document" you have created a centralized party.

the master document will have to be published. period

everybody will be able to see the content of it (should be anyway only the list of document IDs and their hashes) and the hash of the document itself would be in the blockchain.
this way anyone could verify if the document of his interest is in any of the master documents, if yes, which one and then test/compare the hashes and verify in blockchain.

edit: this approach will be used for official eu publications. they will sign 1 document containing list of hashes of all files published that day and anybody can verify that a pdf comes from the publication office by checking the hash of pdf, checking if the hash matches the info in the list which was signed and then verify signature (certificate used, if it was not revoked, etc).
the bitcoin/blockchain timestamping is kind of different, has no certicate issuer nor not known yet how the master document (daily list) would be published. but it should be public and tamper proof

Tried to transfer my 1.0 ... a popup box in 1.0.  This box can not be selected

I'm sure could copy/paste the code (Firefox)

Well it doesn't work in Chrome.  A modal dialog box is not the right delivery mechanism in either case.  Just display it on the normal browser page along with the rest of the info.  Why make a special box that pops up?

it's probably easier to notice a popup  than search the site for a code
chrome has also issues displaying the frames around text fields
why not using other browser?

does glbse know / recognize ticker.sub as a sub-asset or is that concatenated automatically if the new asset is issued by an asset manager (instead of general user)?

GLBSE knows base asset names. E.g. I have GLBSE, then only I'm allowed to create GLBSE.SUB

but how? which user can (can't ) do that?
is the glbse base name owned by the user or by the asset manager account? do I have to enter glbse.sub in the ticker field or is it enough to type SUB and the name would be fixed by glbse depending on the user that is issuing the asset?

 think I'll figure it out in dev environment

I welcome myself to the thread hijack party ...

@Glasswalker you're ruining my business of buying BTCSYN shares for cheap, please stop putting things in order. the better the public is informed, the smaller the spread and less profit for me.

@all who watch the stats page of BTCSYN, you should also read the thread, the important detail is that the FPGA rig is mining directly with another pool, off the stats (stats page shows only the GPU rigs mining in p2pool). complementary info can be found in the finance page, where mining income arrives. it's way more than 4-5 GH/s GPU mining only.

end of hijack

@fees for issuing new shares for existing assets, that would be free of charge

That'd be nice, but probably Nefario's call.

Nefario wrote that elsewhere and I was merely quoting him

I may not know the difference between bond and share but reading & writing about stuff I read I can

I'd welcome cheaper creation of sub-assets in general
