The earth is spinning with 1675 km/h but the auroracoin virtual block chain is stand and still for 10hours already.
What can we do? I burned my spared voodoo puppet, long time ago. No prayers, no magic left around?

Here is the offending block: http://insight.auroracoin.io/block/24e5e48704d70dde5ebae52a31a5430f1fcad726d4680bb723fddb3c70215160

Can anyone explain what is going on when we have a situation like this?

I don't have a clue. Mining looks erratic. At least the timestamps on the blocks. There are these intermittent breaks and in between many blocks are mined per minute.

I'm guessing this might be an attack on the kimoto gravity well difficulty adjustment algorithm?

Another explanation might've been pool miners hopping away due to market price decrease. Couldn't find any coincidences of a decrease in market price with one of these "pauses", though.

It would be really nice to be able to assign names to the accounts on your Trezor. It's confusing trying to remember which account is which.

+3. This has been asked a few times, and I thoght they said they were working on it way back when. Anyways, this would be a boon to the average user.

We have a labeling feature more or less ready, but it sits in the merge queue and needs to be properly merged in and tested first. The labels will be stored in cloud storage of your choice and securely encrypted via TREZOR.

Cool!

Electrum

With the label sync plugin you can even sync these across multiple electrum instances on different machines. Although I'm not sure that plugin is in the 2.0 release

echt coole story, Borpf.

Eine kleine Änderung und dann ist sie was das mining angeht auch realistisch: Ulf und Randolf haben Anfang 2010 (oder Ende 2009) mit dem mining angefangen. Aber nicht mit grafikkarten, sondern mit ein paar CPUs, die ansonsten nutzlos rumlagen. Nach dem Pizzakauf, als beide getrennt wieder losmineten (500,000 bitcoins sollens ja geworden sein), da waren es dann in der tat grafikkarten und es war Spätherbst 2010 oder so. Die 500,000 haben sie bis Mitte 2011 gemined. Ulf und Randolf sind quasi Artforz. Anfang 2011 hatten sie z.B. 30% der mining-power und Ulf hat sogar mit FPGAs und später metal structured ASCICs erfolgreich experimentiert, während Randolf weiter auf GPUs setzte und sich mit heat-management, underclocking und seinem Energielieferanten beschäftigte.

Als Auflockerung könnte man noch Randolfs kleine Schwester Meta einführen, die dem Randolf und heimlich auch dem Ulf immer coins abgeluchst hat. Später hat sie gefälschte 50 euro Scheine auf silkroad vertickt und Gras im echten leben. Mittlerweile hat sie mehr coins als die beiden zusammen (ohne daß es jemand wüsste), hält sich aus dem Markt größtenteils raus (es sei denn sie braucht wieder fiat irgendwo auf dem Globus wo sie grad mal wieder ist, da nutzt sie localbitcoins oder ihre angestammten Kontakte). Ulf und Randolf sehen sie manchmal auf youtube, wo sie oft bei Max Keiser den Bitcoin promoted und eloquent gegen die Bankster wettert. Sie unterstützt auch viele Projekte in Indien, Asien und Afrika... to bank the unbanked (und um ihr PR image aufzubessern). Demnächst ist sie auf cnn in einem Schlagabtausch mit Bill Gates und hält einen Vortrag am Mises Institute... manchmal taucht sie auch in videos irgendwo hinter Cody Wilson oder Amir Taaki auf.

shit, jetzt hab ich die Zeit vergessen! ich muss doch zum Zahnarzt....

"It's the Blockchain, not Bitcoin that's the real killer app." Debunked
http://www.joecoin.com/2015/02/crypto-20-and-other-misconceptions.html

The piece contains a pretty cool description of Bitcoin:

Quote
Private keys that represent some sort of token are an obvious solution, and when we combine them with two cups of economic scarcity, a Merkle tree root, a spoonful of clever bootstrapping, and a dash of HashCash, we end up with, you guessed it, Bitcoin!

Also aktuell 3 grüne Wochenkerzen hintereinander, das kann nicht so bearish sein. Und wenn die dritte grün bleibt, dann wäre das das erste Mal seit Mai 2014, richtig? Wenn eine vierte hinzukommt, singe ich ein Adventslied!!!

versprochen?

dave, I would be interested in the following statistics:

what percentage of your customers modify their wallet.dat to only contain addresses with 0 money before sending it to you and what percentage just simply trusts you?

2371  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. on: February 23, 2015, 09:49:18 PM
Why would you need multiple trezors?

The seed is the key, the trezor is like a blank that can be loaded with any key, wiped then loaded with a different key.

In fact having loaded trezors around is riskier than having an empty one with seeds stored elsewhere, off-site, divided up etc.

it gets even more complicated than this.

turns out, you can have multiple wallets loaded into the Trezor all based off of one seed.  to do this, you click "Enable Passphrases" in advanced settings.  each time it asks you for the passphrase, enter in a different one, and you will generate multiple wallets.  a different passphrase acts like an additional 25th word of the original 24 word seed thus creating a new wallet.  you could deposit all your cold storage savings in one wallet then deposit 1-2 BTC in another.  then if someone rubber hoses you simply reveal the passphrase to the 1-2 BTC wallet for plausible deniability.  it's a clever little device.

now that you've posted this your denial is implausible, so I will use monkey wrench attack until I get at least 5 passwords from you (or you die). (sorry to put it that drastically. this is not really my plan, of course, just making a point)

If you want your money safe against such attack, you better have a component involved that you really "don't know" and that isn't "on you", like a seed in a safe somewhere. Shamirs secret sharing sounds like a good idea.

In the end, an attacker can always abduct a loved one and extort coins from you, no matter which way you have secured them.

There's nothing better for safety than a world in which everyone participates sufficiently in prosperity.

I wonder if there is any chance of recovering your lost 700,000K? Insurance?

deposit insurance covering would amount to pretty much the same as a bailout, no? The idea of a bailin is to not do that.

can the Trezor ppl see our balances and tx's while the Trezor is logged into myTrezor.com?

Out of curiosity, how do you guys plan on using your Trezor? I looked into them, like the idea and would like to get one, but couldn't see how a Trezor would fit into how I currently manage my BTC.

In my case I use Armory offline wallets for primary BTC storage, with secure HD seed backups so I'm confident I can always restore the wallets. For day to day usage I keep a small amount in Mycelium, and use this for buying pizza, etc. To fund Mycelium, in Armory I create spending addresses with a small amount of BTC and export the private key to Mycelium. The advantage to this is if I lose my phone, the BTC are recoverable in Armory or HD seed backups. The worse case is if someone steals and breaks my phone, I can only lose the amount on the phone (similar to cash in a real wallet). I like this method because: 1)  I can store and use BTC on my phone without worrying about losing the coins because they are simultaneously in Armory (which is an awesome property of Bitcoin) and 2) Only a small amount are ever "at risk", with the majority secure in Armory.

Because of this I can't see how a Trezor would fit. So how do you guys use it?

I use the trezor for both secure long-term storage and also for day-to-day spending. I actually think it's at least as secure a any armory (or other solution running on multipurpose hardware)-based solution. It's the nice thing about trezor: it combines ease of use with extreme security. In conjunction with electrum (as an example) I can also use address-based coin control for increasing privacy.

Of course, for ordering pizza or making the odd donation I use mycelium. It's just way faster (I make a habit of unplugging the trezor after use) and scanning qr-codes from the screen and seeing the payment arrive a second later has something very special to it.


now i believe that is not right.  i assume you have just one Trezor.  why carry around your long term storage for daily spending?  i assume it has a sizeable balance.  think rubber hosing...

I admit I have multiple trezors.

if SINGLE privkey is compromised from linear chain then ALL privkeys can be computed in same chain.

that's not right.  you'd need more information, like the chain code if it's even possible, than just a single privkey from the chain.

you need the master seed and one privkey if I understand correctly. Not sure what kind of other information would be sufficient, but a single private key isn't.

i wonder if another reason to avoid exporting Armory linear deterministic privkeys is if you reveal that privkey on your phone along with perhaps the master public key, can ALL your privkeys be determined similar to how it can be done with an xpub+childprivkey in HD wallets? 

molecular would probably know.

I have no experience with the armory linear scheme in particular, but I would assume all type 2 deterministic schemes suffer from this problem. I can say it for sure for the classic electrum 'linear' scheme.

My solution: don't ever export private (sub)keys (my trezor nicely keeps me from doing that even when I'm drunk or whatever).

Ich hoffe, ich habe mit dem Posting nicht für Verwirrung gesorgt. Smiley

nein, eher für mehr Klarheit. Danke.

Auf jeden Fall hast du mich zum Nachdenken gebracht und das macht Spass und ist sinnvoll Wink

Ich finde die Diskussion mit den Kerzen usw. sehr interessant, will das aber gerade nicht ausweiten.

Nur eins: ich glaube TA funktioniert, weil viele sie benutzen. Also auch umso besser je mehr eine bestimmte Technik benutzen. Um also die Aussagekraft von Lininen auf wöchentlichen Kerzen vs. Linien auf feineren Daten zu bewerten könnte man vielleicht fragen wieviele Trader (oder wieviel Geld) das eine bzw. eher das andere benutzen.
2379  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. on: February 22, 2015, 09:08:01 PM
My favourite client, Armory, will also support Trezor in the future.

This is good news and should satisfy cyphers privacy needs.
