2301  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: GPU brute forcing an encrypted wallet on: August 11, 2014, 05:36:44 PM
Does anyone have a comparison of how long this would take with a script/interpreter language like Ruby or Python, vs. a compiled and highly parallized computation on a GPU? I guess we're talking 4-5 orders of magnitude here?

Much much faster. Try 20x.
Still it will take many years to bruteforce.
Dictionary attack will be faster if they have a weak password.
Maybe you could program rainbow tables if you have many wallet.dat files to crack
2302  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: cryptsy did not add money to account after transfer on: August 11, 2014, 05:32:56 PM
Hello
My last 3 payments sent from Eligius did not arrived on my account in cryptsy. I contacted the customer support and they promised to respond within 24-72 hours but now it is a 7th day and no response.
The money were not added to account. Same happened to my friend.
Has anyone similar experience with cryptsy?
Any advice what to do when they keep silent?
Thanks

cryptsy support can very misleading and unreliable.  alot of people have issues dating back months with them and quick search here will confirm this.  they fix things on their own schedule and care little about their users.  Sad

It isn't cryptsy's fault. He mined Bitcoins directly into the address when the deposit page told him not to mine directly into the address.

+1

ALWAYS USE AN INTERMEDIATE WALLET!!!!
NEVER MINE TO CRYPSY FROM P2P POOL!!!

Cryptsy can't help you since they could not credit your wallet since a mined coin has no source address (Because it's mined out of thin air).
Technically I'm not sure why they can't but it has been explained.

I have been with Crypsy for a long time and their support is sometimes slow but they do resolve the tickets.
My 6 or so support tickets have been solved quickly and without hassle.

Just set up three or four wallets and send the money through.
Yes they can trace it but no they cannot prove you owned the intermediate accounts.
You can then always say you bought them through localbitcoins.
Or sell your coins through localbitcoins.

Or

Create account on BTC-e using proxy or so.
Put money into account.
Trading to LTC or another shitty altcoin.
Send money to another trading site.
Trade back to BTC.
Put into your account.

No we have to many shitty coins with no added value.

Coins that tried to add value are good for although many fail. Examples are
- QuarkCoin: CPU Only mining
- Litecoin: Different transaction times
- Dogecoin: Good marketing
- Namecoin: DNS protection
- etc.

Many coins are clones that are made for the premine and dump strategy.
2305  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallet Backup - How while mining? on: August 11, 2014, 05:15:50 PM
Look up the "dumpprivkey" command or google it.
That will dump your private key, it's a string like "5H......some characters............."

THIS IS YOUR PRIVATE KEY GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!! DO NOT POST THAT STRING!!!!! THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO SPEND THE COINS!!!

You can import this private key in all wallets online/offline/apps/etc.
It is safer to store your private key than your wallet.dat since it doesn't depend on software to interpret.
I store both the key and the wallet.dat

Importing in the bitcoin client can be done with the command "importprivkey". You will need to force a blockchain rescan and an import can take hours to process.

!!! Test it to get comfortable with it !!!
My advice is to try making a wallet send 0.0001 BTC to it or something. Dump your private key. Save your wallet.dat.
Install bitcoin client on different system. Import private key. Rescan the blockchain. When you see your balance send the coin back to your original wallet.
You will have faith in what you are doing.


Hope this helps you......

2307  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many Bitcoins needed to retire in 5-6 years? on: August 11, 2014, 05:49:04 AM
I just talked to a economics Phd and we analyzed some stats surrounding BTC. We made some good/worst case scenarios and took the average of those scenarios.

Our price prediction for 2020 = 10,750 USD Wink

The known price history of Bitcoin is roughly 4 years. You're attempting to predict 16 years ahead?

I still like the prediction though but would expect something halvings to have happened and the price could easily go above 10k. Smiley
2308  Economy / Speculation / Re: sideways for so long now.... on: August 11, 2014, 05:43:34 AM
For Bitcoin standards it is sideways and boring if you HODL (nothing wrong with a good number of HODL-coins).

If you look closely it is fluctuating by full percentages every day/week.
This sideways market has made me look into automated trading which has more than a little potential.
I believe you could still double your BTC each year in this sideways market.
With a bubble you can trade all the way to 30-50x your BTC if you have a good bot/script/ea.

They can't even solve the Kryptos so why would they be able to crack bitcoin?  Wink
2310  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your opinion about TA and 9/11 on: August 09, 2014, 08:48:25 PM
USA did 9/11 but it will be too late when people realize this. With too late I mean people will say "USA did 9/11? That was 20-30 years ago, time has changed, USA changed, we are different now, what gives what they did 20-30 years ago". So it was with hundreds of crimes that the USA did. To name only one, I say agent orange. People nowadays say "why should I care, that was 40 years ago, I cant do anything".

People don't care and eat propaganda for breakfast.

In a true democracy people choose who will lead the country. That leader respect the wishes of the majority.
Something, somewhere went terribly wrong....  Roll Eyes

To be honest to all of you about this, I think that next bubble won't make it over 3k $. Those predictions of 8k are a little bit unrealistic.

Depends on the timeframe and definition of bubble aswell.
Next bubble might be 2016 when bitcoin halves.

I hope bitcoin will hit 100k someday so I can be filthy rich  Cool
2312  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your opinion about TA and 9/11 on: August 09, 2014, 11:13:37 AM
USA did 9/11 but what is TA?

3-5K. Your poll options are too high.

Fonzie used to be an uber-bear. He turned bullish at some point, and as it usually is with people who do a 180 degrees turn, he became an uber-bull. So his forecasts aren't $ 10 USD anymore, but rather $ 10k USD now... I guess it's more reasonable than $ 10 USD Cheesy

Simplistic statement:
Bears usually have no bitcoin and don't want people getting rich quick.
Bulls have bitcoin and want to get rich quick.

Maybe he finally bought in and wants to make money now Smiley
2315  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your opinion about TA and 9/11 on: August 09, 2014, 10:23:01 AM
With TA I assume you mean using indicators and the strict and formal ways of using them for entry, exit and position calculations.
In that case TA works but it is more risk management than knowing what will happen. If you get it right >50% of the time and let your profits run and cut your losses you have a winner.
If you mean TA where people draw triangles, predict based on gut feelings and by drawing Igorr trendlines, I think TA will not work unless TA comes from a Fontas-like person manipulating the price to fit his TA.

There is a possibility that the USA did 9/11. If you think about it this would give the government the power to start any war with consent of the people and a highly motivated army.
I'm not saying that the USA definitely did it, I'm saying it is not out of the realm of possibilities. I'll leave the facts to conspiracy specialists Tongue
2316  Economy / Speculation / Re: How high will the next bubble go? on: August 09, 2014, 10:06:35 AM
Bitcoin can't get past the price of a troy ounce of gold without willy or some other fuckery.

This is a psychological barrier. A BTC van easily surpass a troy ounce of gold if we break this psychological barrier by calling it mBTC. This doesn't do anything for bitcoin itself but it will brainfuck everyone into believing they have more Smiley
2317  Economy / Speculation / Re: How high will the next bubble go? on: August 09, 2014, 10:02:21 AM
A poll can tell alot about a person
A greedy person will walk away with 50k. Looking at the poll options I estimate that you have between BTC2.5 and BTC6.25. Probably less... Tongue

It looks a lot like "The Chart"  Cheesy Cool

2319  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will the next bubble start? on: August 01, 2014, 07:30:03 PM
Doge is dying.

Bubble might come as late as after next halving - when the supply goes down. Before that, we will see 500-1000$ range.

This opinion is taken out of my ass.

I would have expected it to go to the sky already.
I think your ass-prediction might hold some truth.
Nowadays all eyes are on bitcoin making is harder to cause a frenzy, everyone is waiting and hodling Smiley
