Yes it is possible, but 2^256 is about1.157920892 * 10^77 or a 1 in 115,792,089,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of it happening. Shocked
It is quite a bit more likely for you and all your family to die by meteorite.  So moral of the story, buy meteorite insurance before worrying about address collisions. Wink

Probability of death by meteorite found at :http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/13/death-by-meteorite/#.UWhFucjLcTs it is 1 in 700,000 according to the site.

P.S.  Encrypting your wallet does nothing to prevent address collisions.

What if someone decided to turn on a super rig, and churn out addresses, with a script to determine if the addresses are empty or not?
Anything stopping this?
He would need a really really powerful supercomputer. And maybe even then it would still take millions/billions of years. Quantum computers are a different story, but not yet possible.
2424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unencrypted Wallet Question on: April 12, 2013, 04:33:47 PM
If there is an address with bitcoins, where the wallet is unencrypted, would it be possible for somebody to generate that address and then lay claim to the coins at that address? If not, what mechanism prevents this?
Wallet encryption encrypts your whole wallet in the event that it's stolen. It is possible that a user independently generates an address that collides with yours i.e a collision and spend whatever coins the address has, but since we are talking about ~2^256 possible combinations, it's extremely unlikely, so much that you have a batter chance of winning the lottery a dozen of times.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE

It is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery.

This basically means that if you are logged in to the exchange, any random site you visit can log you out, cancel your orders, possibly create new orders (haven't checked this one yet), or withdraw your money to the attacker's address (I have successfully done this with my own account).

Not to mention that in the process of testing it my 0.5 BTE magically turned into 0.005 BTE. I made one order to sell 0.5 BTE at a price of 0.1 (BTC per BTE I presume, but I can't be sure since are no units given for the price, amount or total). When I cancelled it, I only got 0.05 BTE back. I did a similar thing again and it further reduced my balance to 0.005 BTE.

So I'd definitely recommend avoiding this site for now/ever.
Best way to fix csrf is to use POST more(with some hidden randomly generated tokens) for most stuff, and less GET requests with dynamic data.

If you had offered me this a month ago, I would've bought. Sadly, I also made a mistake of buying Crysis 3 and selling my PPCoins and Bitcoins to buy C3 for 40 dollars or otherwise I would've made more money when the price skyrocketed...

On topic, been playing C2 since the very demo in 2011 February, and then C3 Alpha, then beta then the full game. I have a KDR of almost 3.

sorry...


so i have to change the name to wallet.dat and where to place it than?
On Windows 7 you need to place your backup(wallet.dat) in C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin. Make sure you don't overwrite anything in there.

"President and CEO of Mt.Gox"

Loving the title fetish. Especially for something that is essentially two fat guys in an office basement.
Fixed that for you. Anyway, they still try to cover the truth, and that is manipulation.

My SEPA withdrawal was initiated on the 10th of April, is now finished about 30 minutes ago, however it's already ~4PM here. How long till they actually end up in my bank account?

bitcoin-qt http://bitcoin.org/en/download

BTC.dat perhaps should be named wallet.dat and be in the default location, which on linux is ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat
or import the private key if that is what the .txt is.

Import is commandline only I think and simple to do..
bitcoind importprivkey "5yourveryveryveryverylongprivatekeystring"


Bitcoin address is not the same as the private key though.. he needs to have backuped the wallet and perhaps did that from the GUI saved as a BTC.dat name that he would recognize.
Just to say it can take a while for the process. It takes me a few seconds for importprivkey to do it.

How much will it cost to buy the chip(if it ever goes on sale) + the parts you would need?
2434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are you guys down about? The future of Bitcoin never looked so bright! on: April 12, 2013, 03:20:46 AM
Yeah, don't see any Bitcoins on OANDA...

Instead of USD, go in "B" for Bitcoin  Wink

Edit:


Tried it, not there for me.
2435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are you guys down about? The future of Bitcoin never looked so bright! on: April 12, 2013, 02:29:24 AM
I don't see bitcoin on that site. Must've removed it due to the crash.

2437  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Lets Solve the unreliable 7970 issues.... (share your observations/input) on: April 12, 2013, 01:55:05 AM
OP, the reason MSI Afterburner reports the graphics cards by their series and not by exact model, is because the series share the same BIOS, and that is what Afterburner reads by mapping the ROM.

I understand, why would one 7970 be reported as "7900 Series" and another supposedly more or less identical 7970 be reported as "7900 Lightning?"
If the card is manufactured by Lightning, why not? It's a custom BIOS by the manufacturer.

2439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [TRC] [DISCLOSURE] Terracoin Difficulty Collapse Exploit on: April 12, 2013, 01:12:20 AM
I read the description of OP at least 50 times, but I dun' get it.

Quote
The way the attack works is that a miner collusion
I assume you mean that you need more than one node for this?

Quote
attempts to artificially inflates the time span of each retarget section
And this "group" of miners does this how? Inflation means to increase, increase means it will take longer than 2 minutes to create a block. Not sure how you'd do it. It's possible due to less nodes?

Quote
When the collusion gains momentum theoretically for terracoin I think the difficulty will collapse and block spacing drops close to 0
And again, how do you prevent people from finding blocks? Bear with me, I am thinking as I type, so basically miners will increase the difficulty, then stop till the retarget code decides it needs to go down? And when it goes down it gets exploited by the miners with the most hashpower again?
