2001  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Does Wallet with offline transaction signing Exist for Android? on: April 04, 2016, 09:19:57 PM
Hey frendsss
As probably of you mostly know that electrum allows to have two wallets on two different PC one is used as cold storage and other one as online wallet and to spend bitcoin we create transaction on online PC and then sign it with offline PC and broadcast it on Online PC.This is the secure way of storing bitcoins.Eg of such wallet is electrum,armory
I wanna know do such type of wallet exist for Android?

Yes, e.g. Bither -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498382.0
-> https://github.com/bither/bither-android


if not,i think it would be a great idea to develop such wallet as we can easily communicate between two mobile devices compared to two PC for eg fast QR Codes scanning. So what do you think?
I have read this type of wallet exist which is Bither.Has Anyone experienced this wallet?

I had the idea to use an old phone as cold storage for a while, but I never got around to repair it (phone has a broken USB port, so it cant be charged). So I ended up using a laptop instead.

Same here. What's the deal with Dain 0.0.1?

Your guess is as good as mine. I didnt find a webserver on the IP that could provide more information. Its still connected from time to time, but I dont think I will find out who or what is behind it unless someone posts here.

I notice that the developer for this package has the user name 'dain':

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/yubico-bitcoin


Maybe he has written some node s/w as well.

Might be, didnt find it on their git though -> https://github.com/dainnilsson

maybe its just their modified version of one of the other clients.

I think you are right, "false positives" i rerun the scan on the folder only and it came up clear.... thanks

and yes i am running 0.12 core

0.12 obfuscates the blockchain data on windows systems to avoid problems with anti virus software. Interesting to see that your anti virus still went off.

I get that some are desperate for money, but signature campaigns are not even reliable income.

Lets just let everyone decide that for himself.

No, Im going to force everyone to see the world through my eyes and interpret what they see in my way only. You cant argue away that the board might go offline for a few days (happened), the campaign you enrolled in might end (happens constantly) and you cant get a spot (depending on your post quality, can be a though one).

#1 too much fees
#2 miners can cheat. Probably not worth it right now, but possibly in the future
#3 most casinos have an edge of 1%

Fees are currently under 10 cents a transaction.

Yes, but not during spam waves or high usage. IMHO on chain gambling is dead, because you pay a fee for every bet und thus remove the chance to play with very small amounts. Your idea would probably have a fixed stake anyway, so its just removing potential customers.

  There are a number of bitcoin games where you don't maintain a balance and each individual play involves sending to an address.  The game operator can absorb the fees on paying out, and you can include multiple TXOUTs in a single transactions to do multiple plays with a single fee.

More outputs means you create a bigger TX, which increases your fee. As operator the fee you pay reduces your income.

  I agree this will discourage people from making large numbers of small bets.

Miners can certainly cheat by colluding with players to make sure no one ever loses, with only a small increase in the processing power expended.  But really, what is their incentive to do so, if only small amounts of money are involved. 

Miners could play themselves. Right now there is next to no incentive due to the blockreward, maybe its not a point as falling blockreward should be covered by higher fees.

Ignoring poker, where you play against other players and not the house, the edge for some common casino games are as follows. 

European Roulette - 2.7%
Slots - up to 15%
Blackjack with optimal play and multiple decks - no more than 0.5%

On the average, casinos manage to rake in about 2% of the money wagered, over all games weighted by their popularity.

I looked at luckyb.it.  I can't play it, since they block the US, but it looks pretty engaging, with the graphical display of bets being processed.

I had the dice casinos in mind that are more common for bitcoin, almost all of them have a 1% house edge.
2006  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How Many Bitcoin Transactions are <$100 on: April 04, 2016, 08:54:18 PM
-snip-
Why would you want to track only the transaction <$100 ?

Probably as an argument for or against micro payments. Payments over 100 USD are certainly not micro payments, thus an answer to the question could be an argument in a discussion.

I am curious too and am interested in the micro payment part of it.  From comments above it would be difficult to determine the amounts. 

Not really

#1 take prices from e.g. bitcoinaverage[1]
#2 start with block 1 (or any other you find more interesting, maybe Jan 2011) and itterate until you are at the current (or any other interesting, maybe Jan 2016) block
#3 determine day for blocktime
#4 calculate 100 USD bitcoin value for that day (you can also precalculate a btc value based on the pricelist in #1)
#5 itterate over all TX for the given block and filter for TX that match your criteria

Hello ,

I have before felt 10 years Bitcoins Bought . However, I have forgotten all my log . Back then everything was from a fellow student , so I know both the website and the server no longer .

My questions would be :

How do I get back my log in data and there is any chance they recover because I only remember my City and my former bank account is already closed today . Have you any Idea, where I could have bought the Bitcoins at the initial time an idea of which side and as I again receive my account information ?

Greedings

You will need to remember. Talk to your friend. If they cant remember as well, try talking about things not bitcoin you remember from that time. Maybe this[1] can help you remember.

Buy 3 more accounts, sign up those too, that will be around 80 posts/day which can be done in 4 hours. Work only 4 hours/day only and you can earn 0.84BTC/month (350$)! It can be a full time job if you are dedicated, but remember no spam or you get banned!

1. It is not possible to make 80 meaningful posts in 4 hours. That's one post every 3 minutes. Anyone posting at that rate is really just spamming because there is no way their posts could have any real quality or value.

2. As far as jobs go, signature campaigns don't pay very well. According to your numbers (which are exaggerated), a person can make $3/hour. Perhaps that might be a lot in a poor country, but minimum wage in the U.S. is more than twice that. Get a minimum wage job and earn twice as many bitcoins per hour.

In rich countries maybe it's not worth. But for poor countries it's a good method. We can earn more than 2 dollars daily with signature campaign. 8 dollars using 4 accounts writing 80 daily posts average. Some people work 8 daily hours to earn 300 dollars on my country (or less).

This way i think it's good, trying to work 8 daily hours for write some posts. I agree with you that write all in 4 hours is a bit exagerated. And there is always a incentive because we can reach to Hero, Legendary ranks earning more (and campaign avatars too!).

I get that some are desperate for money, but signature campaigns are not even reliable income. It would be better to focus on learning as much about bitcoin as possible, add a programming language thats in demand and start offering coding as a service (or design or whatever is your jam). Start small and cheap at first to get experience and learn more. You can still get a little extra from a campaign. If you focus on posting for coins you will eventually get banned, because you run out of things you can write. Instead of taking a break you have to earn your income and the quality will slip, maybe you think you are smart and can copy from a blog or some other user. Maybe you are not noticed for some time, but in the end you get banned like everyone else that has nothing to contribute.

What should I do to protect my account ?
Just stake a btc adress into the appropriate topic ?

Yes, stake an address and make sure you can sign a message with the staked (bitcoin!) address. Have a strong password, dont use the security question, use a mail address that you can access and have a strong password for the mail address as well.

I'm not sure what's going on but anytime I try to do a split key vanity gen lately I get an error saying this:

Code:

Invalid base pubkey

I've done this 100x before and never had an issue. If I just try to generate an address it works fine. It's only when I try to generate a split key it doesn't work for me anymore. I thought maybe the case insensitivity or the verbose output was causing the issue but taking them out doesn't help the situation either.

What happened?! Lol. Like I said, I've done this 100x before and never had an issue. I've generated a lot of new addresses thinking the first one I tried must have had a problem but to no avail...

 You simply need to put the part public key directly after the -P switch.

edit - You should probably put the addy at the end too ie.
Code:
-v -i -P 0413861F7353C032303D93A5574AA3872B73C79FC68D92BA8C891EB0926DEBC16DEBBD000E121B3CA9684B8C2C4FB2DCCD16D3F1E58D3597AF23F693DB894B2C35 1addy

Thanks. I'll have to try that when I get home.

Sometimes word-wrapping doesn't occur either.

I've noticed that a few times actually. I'm always very careful with it now. Thanks for the help though. I know it's definitely an issue I've had before.

Its typical for pubkeys from bitaddress.org because there is a linebreak when its displayed.
2011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a good idea to store paper wallet digitally? on: April 04, 2016, 08:23:45 PM
Bitaddress isn't truly random. It is based on the seed (your mouse movement), which isn't random.

Its a PRNG[1] and as such considered random enough for cryptographic purposes.

Human movement always follows some pattern or purpose. Mouse movement is no different. In fact, in some ways, nothing is random. "Randomness" is the misconception of not being able to define the answer because we do not have the means to.

Randomness is defined as the lack of pattern, we as humans are essentially pattern matching and recognition machines. Just think about all the people that see the face of Elvis in vegetables. If we are unable to see a pattern we call it random. This lack of pattern is what protects a randomly generated key. IF there would be a pattern between the first and the next key you generated it would be possible to derive one from the other. Since you cant its perfectly fine to call it random, unless you want to start a philosophical debate.

2012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you switch to a new technology, if it offers better features than Bitcoin? on: April 04, 2016, 08:16:08 PM
Well, they will not develop something trustless, but they can make it decentralized. { Implementing nodes for example on all computers within all their bank branches } The only difference will be,

that it will be permissioned and private and they will control the development
and what changes will be pushed on these clients/nodes. There are many Alt coins with some better features than

Bitcoin, but they do not have the main advantage... which in my opinion is the network affect and also the backing of a strong and secure network {hashing power provided by miners} that they do

not have to pay for. { In Bitcoin, miners give their resources and they get rewarded by the protocol } So for the users, this network is virtually free... but banks will have to pay for that resources.  

I think you're misunderstanding what a full decentralization is. what you described are still centralized because it have a central authority (the banks). they can still change anything without consensus.

Which is exactly what would make this alternative problematic. One of the key features bitcoin offers is that it is difficult to change. If a couple of people could change what is understood as bitcoin, it would have failed. What would you say if these few people decided that the halving does not happen and we will have a 25 BTC block reward forever (or until they changed their mood)? Would you think also those that see bitcoin as a long term investment would still hodl their coins? I dont think so.
2013  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Here’s How I Would Bring Down Bitcoin on: April 04, 2016, 07:56:02 PM
This is all so new to me, it seems quite bonkers. If the government or whoever are trying to undo bitcoin could they not just buy a big load of it and manipulate it that way, or buy a load of mining machines and use the 51% thing.

Surely the government could do that if they wanted? Undecided

Holding a large amount of bitcoin can only manipulate the price. Mainly upwards, as buying more coins would drive up the demand. I dont see how this could harm bitcoin. A 51% attack could certainly do harm to bitcoin, but it would require the attacker to meet the investment of everyone else on earth.

You should post what contributes to a thread or an ontopic discussion within a thread. How you can work for bitcoin depends on the skills you can offer. You get to higher ranks over time.

So since I posted it last night how long before it goes away or something

IIRC blockchain.info lets you double spend the TX after 3 days.

So I can use the rest of my bank roll?

No, its tied up in the change output.

It's driving my crazy looking every 5 mins. All because just wanted to send a test one and because of that I fed myself. So what's going to happen n when can I use it

You might have a chance by contacting one of the mining pools, but they usually require you to have a code.

E.g. https://www.f2pool.com/pushtx
Your TX in raw format can be found here -> https://blockchain.info/de/tx/47f2d2676221ef7c43563fd54f834376072252dca4368ac0f4076e6ae4b96927?format=hex
2020  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a newb get some helpq on: April 03, 2016, 09:10:18 PM
My advice is to use a large miner fee to ensure the TX goes fast and never send an amount below your fee, this will ensure smooth block chaining! bitcoin is a magical currency if you need any help with facets of bitcoin or alt coin just shoot me a pm.

The fee is not the problem here, the problem is for the TX to reach a miner that is mining dust transactions. Most network nodes will not relay dust transactions.

Also by offering advice via PM you remove the chance for someone more knowledgeable to correct you. There is always someone that knows more and posting public answers and questions exposes you to those people that help can you actually understand bitcoin in its details.
