Stamp stopped giving a fuck

Europe is asleep.

I wish. My son woke up early and I'm dividing my time between getting some work done, these boards and the Night Garden. Honestly I'm not sure which is more surreal sometimes.

too far too fast. I think a bounce up to 480 is possible and, by my eyes likely.

I am a very talented writer, I can write you something for the ages. PM me, we can negotiate if this is legitimate. I will ask more than the $ offered however, I can guarantee you gold.

email: mckie@outlook.com

Your three sentences were littered with mistakes.

Have any of your shares expired yet? If so, what happened?
2205  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-trader.biz on: April 24, 2014, 09:02:45 PM
Sent a support ticket and got a very fast (15-20 mins) response:

We believe the root of the issue was around spending coins where the inputs were not in a block yet. We broadcast a large number of transactions, and sometimes other nodes receive them out of order (the transaction that spends the change could arrive before the transaction that generated the change).

Issues like this happen sometimes. Especially today we are experiencing very very slow incoming transactions as well.

Unfortunately nothing we can do but wait.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

A little later, the transaction came through.

How long does it take to process withdrawals?
Got the confirmation email, but nothing on the blockchain yet, 1 hour after they said it had been processed.

If you got the 'cashout request completed' email notice it should show up in your wallet right away. Did you only get the 'cashout request created' email? Manual cashouts take some time to process.

It says 'cashout request completed'. Nothing after 2 hours. I had an earlier cashout request created email too.

Then check if your payment is on the blockchain. If its there they have completed it.

Nothing on the blockchain.

Yeah, I think I'm out.  The problem is I didn't even think about brute force tools.  Last puzzle I spent hours and hours on, and I think I screwed myself because when I couldn't get the last clues (and it was not too easy.  If only $50 is up for grabs, 5 hours is max one could spend on it) I came here as you see and made the huge mistake of posting this: SETL54M6YT5Q7MUVL?DQ??LT3G3B9   It wasn't long after that the money was taken and not a word about it.  Why?  Easy... the person that took the btc did no work other than put my hard work into a brute force tool and take what I had worked on away from me.  So, if I ever do decide to take a look, I won't post here and honestly, it just frustrates me that a brute force tool can be used.  Maybe you could have people submit the password in a comment and allow each person 5 guesses or something.  I'm not wasting another 5 hours so some ass clown who can write a script can just let his computer solve it for them

I get your frustration. However, a brute force tool is only going to buy you a few characters.
Plus the prize isn't the only reason. This is supposed to be fun...

A bruce force tool isn't bad...

It is just the equivalent of your lifelines in Who wants to be a millionaire.
Answer 24 , get 6 answered for you Tongue

Exactly. However, you've got to be pretty sure the answers you've got are right, otherwise you're wasting time brute forcing the wrong key!
I don't know how much time it would take to guess each one, though I'd think that ~6 characters was worthwhile. I don't know whether hashing is the right analogy or not. You've got to convert the key to the address, which I think is a more complex function than a hash (someone correct me here?), then check it against the known address.
Regardless, other episodes won't be so amenable to brute forcing.

Interesting! The Mt. Gox bankruptcy case is starting today! My inside scoop is now more gospel than ever. This is happening way faster than I thought.
just sell sell already get rid of it, you clearly don't appreciate bitcoin properties but only its price. good riddance mr lawyer

You can't sell what you don't have.

This day in Bitcoin price history:

April 24th, 2011 : 1BTC = $1.7
April 24th, 2012 : 1BTC = $5.10     (+300% from 2011)
April 24th, 2013 : 1BTC = $154.20  (+3024% from 2012, +9070% from 2011)
April 24th, 2014 : 1BTC = $485.00  (+314% from 2013, +9510% from 2012, +28529% from 2011)

Hey there hodler, that's a mighty big percentage you got there.

It looks overbought.

So, opinions on what merely 'bought' looks like at this point in bitcoin's history?

Your uncle really used the MiniKey standard? So 30 characters in base58 only, with 00-check?

You seem surprised - why?

Yes, it's a minikey, but in fact it's base 32: numbers and caps only. (This was explained in the first episode.)
This still makes it way to hard to brute force (145 bits of entropy - the original Casascius coins had 123) but easier to remember and less confusion about whether any given clue is upper or lower case.

The main thread for this episode is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=574700.0
Updates about the game and hints are posted there.
And yes, the last one turned out to be too easy!
2215  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Guess the private key, win the bitcoins (puzzle game) on: April 23, 2014, 08:55:06 PM
These are fun, but I'm terrible at this kind of puzzle.  Good luck to everyone!

Subsequent episodes will work on different principles - they won't all be this kind of rebus.

Sorry but Dorian did create BTC. He is suing every solvent BTC exchange for treble damages. If Mt. Gox doesn't flush you, Dorian will. Actually, Dorian is too late. True story.


Claiming this is even dumber than claiming Andressen is leaving Bitcoin behind, and that's saying something.
Time to add you to the ignorr list with igorr and your other id, cosmofly.

Sorry this didn't work out. PM me if you'd just like it written (see footer for details). $100 is a decent fee for 800-1000 words.
By the way, I wouldn't start by trying to explain what Bitcoin is, because it's not like anything we've seen before. It's easier to explain some of its properties. Who cares that it's strings of code on a decentralised network when the bottom line is that you can send money anywhere in the world, quickly, for next to no fees, outside of the authority and interference of any government, bank or other corporation?
2218  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 23, 2014, 02:44:52 PM
The train is rocketing up right now.

The train has slowed down but it is still going up.

We're going up after this brief consolidation.

We're going up after a long consolidation.

We're going up after this small dip.

We're going up after a large dip.

Ok it's crashing but it's not going to go below the last support.

It's only going to go a little bit past the last support.


It could go anywhere but fundamentals will bring it back up eventually.

I'm convinced we'll see ~470 again pretty soon (38% fibo), and probably ~440 as well (50%).

What matters is how price will react to to those levels. Going through them with no support: March false breakout all over again. Putting up a fight: Maybe it's July 2013 after all.

This makes a lot of sense. The 'bottoms' that people have called so far have seemed far too bouncy for me. I don't know a great deal about TA and the way markets move, but shouldn't a capitulation be a bit more depressingly flat, rather than recovering 30% in a matter of hours/days?
2219  Economy / Speculation / Re: Final Warning for Long-term holders... on: April 23, 2014, 02:24:49 PM
Why would I edit my post to help any of you? You clearly hate me and I have grown to hate you. I just deliver the facts. Take the emotion out of it. "Why did you break BTC? Because it was BREAKABLE!" Implied GG quote

No, you deliver hearsay and unsubtantiated garbage.  I would expect a lawyer to recognize such things, alas you're just a liar, that much is clear.

Claims of delivering only the facts, and calling people that call you out 'haters'. Seems familiar, somehow.
Cosmo, really. Anyone as educated as you claim to be should go to a little more trouble in creating new accounts. Can I suggest that you run your text through Google translate into the language of your choice and back to English again to disguise your characteristic style?
2220  Economy / Speculation / Re: RE : Wall Observer on: April 23, 2014, 12:58:43 PM
Only if they hold BTC, if they convert straight to fiat as most do then it actaully creates downward pressure on the market.

No, even if they immediately exchange for another currency, it still creates a demand when people use BTC.  While that BTC is in the air, it can't be used for anything else.  The number of BTC-days consumed in the transaction is a reduction in money supply.


Time in the air is likely quite limited. Another factor would be the large number of people each holding a small amount of bitcoin to make purchases online or in other places it's convenient.
