If they succeed in cutting all Bitcoin-connections at the Chinese border, it would mean a network split! Everybody inside China goes on their own, and everybody outside China does the same.

There's always ways around it, when desperation strikes, you could even email a private key. And if they disconnect the entire country from the rest of the internet, a phone will suffice.

If the entire thread gets trashed, your posts disappear without notice.

Making posts "long" does not make them better. A post like this adds absolutely nothing useful to a thread with 308 pages already:

Wakey wakey
Your post history shows you haven't been very active lately. My little 10-10-10 experiment is now solely waiting for you to fund your share.

In that case: just create several wallets. You can easily do this in Electrum.
This way you have to split your coins only once.

It is. I don't really get why you quote it instead of deleting it though. Shinjo's post history is filled with the same ref spam. That explains the explosion of streaming threads, they earn from it.

It's a giveaway that doesn't even say what they're giving away.

Agreed. They can post this in the site's main thread if they want people to switch to twitch. Now they're just using Bitcointalk to get more traffic

You can start by guessing my license plate, it's only 6 characters.
After that, you can try to guess my creditcard number, and while you're at it, go for the winning lottery numbers too
Getting all this right is still much more likely than guessing used private keys, but by all means, try it, and convince yourself Bitcoin is safe.

A fork does not give you free coins, the value doesn't come from nothing. It comes from the original coins you had, and the higher the value of the Forkcoin, the lower the value of your original coin gets. Even if both go up, that means it would have been higher without fork.

Once banned, you're not allowed to post anywhere outside of Meta. So no, you can't fix this.

@hilariousandco: please check my last posts on page 1 too

Basically you're saying it can go both ways, nothing new there

You're already shitposting with one account, and you want more accounts?
Some examples:

Which means you'll stop posting irrelevant posts. It's a win for the forum.


Does this work both ways?

I kinda expect their minimum of $5000 to be based on the cost of a lawsuit: anything less isn't worth it, so they don't bother.

No, they're not. Bittrex very clearly warns not to deposit to the wrong chain.

Nobody ever reads! How many warnings do you need?

I think this could work, and can be automated too. Imagine something like this:
-I request access to my private key from coin X at Bittrex
-I pay the required $200 fee
-I instantly get a new deposit address for new deposits
-Meanwhile, Bittrex makes sure my deposit address doesn't hold any funds anymore
-A week later I receive the private key to the old address
After this, it's up to me to figure out how to recover any funds.

On the other hand, why would Bittrex go through the trouble of doing this, simply because a user makes a mistake? If I accidentally send coins to Bob's address, I won't get them back either. It's the way crypto works: all transactions are final, there is no "undo".

No, it's not. It's irrelevant what bankers think about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is designed to be free from them!
Unfortunately, many crypto-users don't realize this, and that makes it relevant again what a (rich) banker has to say about crypto. Usually it's FUD, now it's a bit more positive news, but I can't wait for the day nobody cares about whatever bankers say about crypto anymore.

Now imagine a bank starts using Bitcoin... It will do the same fractional banking as they do with money issued by governments: for every dollar they have, they can lend out 10 times more (or much more, depending on regulations). As long as most people don't try to withdraw their funds, nobody really notices.
But the moment a fraction of the people want their money back, it's called a bank run and the bank collapses!
If a bank owns 10000 Bitcoins, nothing stops them from giving out 1000 loans of 100 Bitcoin each! And boom, 90000 Bitcoins created out of thin air.
Mt.Gox had much more balance on user accounts than they had in their wallets, you could say Mt.Gox was the first fractional Bitcoin bank. We all know how that ended.
Bankers, do whatever you want, I don't care

For short prefixes like this, I add a 1 to the end of the prefix to make it look better. Here you go:
Address: 1Ajie1irbWMKFkPDf7cVDghqy1Hko7dmhH (Balance: )
PrivkeyPart: 5Jfeescj19QmXaPTkwb9TwxgB9XQ4fdoPxPiy2bjzb25dUZoVrG

Can you show a list of addresses that became active after 6 years?

Where does freebe get it's users, if you've never posted here?

It took some fiddling, but I got it in my dashboard now. Thanks!

I've sent you a whopping 65 cent

Any recommendation for cheap/free shared hosting to link this domain to? It doesn't need to be fancy, I'll just use it for fun.

Interesting find! If I try to import the address into Mycelium (on Android), it crashes first. After a restart it shows 50.00050026 BTC.

http://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com uses blockchain.info's api: Balance:

https://blockexplorer.com/tx/d5d27987d2a3dfc724e359870c6644b40e497bdc0589a033220fe15429d88599 shows the 50 Bitcoin created from mining, I haven't used this site before, it seems to not include it when checking the address itself. I'd say that's a bug on blockexplorer.com.

blockchain.info shows both 50 Bitcoin transactions to that address:
block 91812 and block 91842, both have the same txid: d5d27987d2a3dfc724e359870c6644b40e497bdc0589a033220fe15429d88599.
I read this on I thought trxid is unique. It's fixed years ago:

What's more interesting is this:
If I interpret this correctly, it means one of these 50 Bitcoins block rewards was never mined. If that's true, the total number of Bitcoins will be 50 less than 20999999.9769! Only 20999949.9769 BTC can ever be created now.

Activate coin control features in Bitcoin Core to select exactly which inputs to use for each transaction. It's up to you to use a different address for each transaction, most wallets do that by default.

The whole concept of a blockchain means you can see exactly where any transaction came from. If you don't want that, but still want to use Bitcoin, you'll have to use a mixer.
Is there any specific reason you want the receiving party not to see where it came from? It's easier to give the right advice if you explain why you want this.

I sold some at 0.07, saw it go all the way up to 0.27, but still haven't sold the rest. It's a lot of work to get out of cold storage. I'm almost prepared to do that now, but it's annoying if I have to do it again later.
At the last fork I had to scrape all my addresses from all my wallets.

True. But not anyone can hype it enough to get any news coverage. Cash did, and Gold did it already too. It's not the fork that gives it's value, it's the publicity.

My account on namecheap.com: LoyceV. I don't need charity, how about I send you 50 cents in Bytes? Much lower fee than Bitcoin, just keep it for a few years and see what happens to it. Get me your Byteball address for this.

This are the fees for .loan domains:
Obviously, I'll let it expire after a year, but until then I can use it for my long-planned "Loyce Lending Service (LoyceLS)".


Edit: I didn't know namecheap accepts Bitcoin, less than 1 mBTC gets me $3 balance.
