Those aren't your coins. Those are Coinbase's coins. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise.
2582  Other / Off-topic / Re: What programming language do you love? on: June 12, 2014, 02:01:33 AM
I love C++. It has zero bullshit tolerance.

I've also played with Java, Python, Pascal, and VB, but I don't love them.

I'm surprised Brainfuck gets a mention but not OISC. Love assembly but have trouble remembering all those instructions? Well, now you don't need to! Grin

Find it pretty odd to have someone like programming.

Even many experience coders hate doing their job.
That's because their job in most cases isn't coding, it's debugging. The bane of programmers everywhere.
2583  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 2014 USD/mBTC Price Prediction Contest on: June 11, 2014, 05:44:29 AM
Finally! Orange numbers! Grin

Code:
Price              Final Score after Round 2
< $0.079           < -20 OOPS!
  $0.079 - $0.112  -10.06 - -0.24
  $0.112 - $2.239   +0.24 - +8.35
  $2.239 - $3.981   -5.68 - -0.05
> $3.981           < -20 OOPS!

I'm positive as long as the price stays between $0.112 and $2.239. I get the absolute maximum points this round (+7.81) if the price is between $0.316 and $0.355. Still "too bearish"?

My "bullish" maximum (+4.62) is for the range $1.000 - $1.122. Think we can get there?

I ascribed the highest probability (this round) to the range $0.708 - $0.794, scoring a measly +0.80 points for this round.

Pretty chart coming soon.

i was *thinking* to test this 'famous' double your bitcoin on .onion and they need it
but now when i see replies. i assume this stuff is pure scam and i shouldnt riks even pennies with it
You assume correctly.

So I have a bank account in which I've deposited $100 in $20 notes.
Let's say I write a cheque for $20 - How do I know which of my various $20 notes was used?

To answer your original question, you don't, and if you think you need to, you're probably doing something wrong.
2586  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Block solving shares...how do they work? on: June 11, 2014, 02:29:46 AM
A share is just a low-difficulty block. It is not accepted by the Bitcoin network, but it is accepted by the mining pool as proof that the miner was working for them (because the coinbase transaction pays the mining pool's address). The mining pool then pays the miner for their share according to some formula which varies from pool to pool.

Every once in a while, of course, a miner finds a block that meets the actual difficulty of the Bitcoin network. For example, if the share difficulty is a million times less than the true difficulty, this will happen once every million shares (on average). The mining pool broadcasts this block to the network and the mining pool gets paid from the coinbase. Again, the miner gets paid for their share (they do not receive any "bonus" for being the one to have found the lucky block).

Note that in order for a miner to get paid for their shares, the coinbase transaction must pay the mining pool's address, and it is impossible to change this address without invalidating the block (so it's impossible to cheat by that method).

P2pool and (I think) Eligius work slightly differently. Instead of having a single address for the mining pool, there is a list of addresses, one address for each miner who has recently found a share. The reward for finding a share is not a direct payment, but instead the miner gets their address added to the list, so they will be paid when the pool finds a block. But otherwise the same principles apply.

How can you trust what your gut says? My gut can't even be trusted to tell me how many chilli dogs it can digest.
2588  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin-qt/bitcoind - Calculating raw transaction fees! on: June 09, 2014, 11:05:54 AM
I have created a hash value using createrawtransaction and signrawtransaction, and I guess I could work out the byte size of that hash value.  What I find confusing is that I don't get the hash value until createrawtransaction has been executed, and I am supposed to type in the fee value into createrawtransaction.
Createrawtransaction doesn't return a hash, it returns raw bytes, which can be counted. Count the bytes, work out the required fee, then subtract it from your change output (altering the value of an output doesn't affect the size of the transaction).

The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, so you'd be able to see the stars just fine, even with the sun overhead. But of course, as others pointed out, you can't see them in the pics due to the limitations of the cameras.
It's got nothing to do with the cameras, your eyes have the same limitation. The Earth's atmosphere does not block light from the stars. Why do you think you can see them at night (if you live sufficiently far from a city)?
2590  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin-qt/bitcoind - Calculating raw transaction fees! on: June 09, 2014, 01:30:49 AM
There isn't one. You have to calculate the size of the transaction, and work out the required fee from that.

Calculation of fee is automatic, it depends on number and size of inputs and I think also coinage is taken in equation. But you can set your own fee via setfee command.
Absolutely false.

foxpop: what does refcontrol do ?
Controls the Referer header sent by the browser on a per-site basis. For maximum privacy, you should just configure the browser to not send the Referer header at all, but some sites won't work without it (in violation of the HTTP standard). RefControl allows setting a custom referrer for sites that require one.

2593  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Will encrypting my Bitcoin Core wallet move the funds to different addresses? on: June 08, 2014, 01:36:18 AM
No, your previously used addresses will not be affected. What the message is referring to is the pool of unused addresses, which is what allows old backups to still work even if you've created new addresses in the meantime. This pool of unused addresses is wiped and recreated when you encrypt your wallet or change your passphrase, meaning if you create a new address in your encrypted wallet, this new address will not be present in your old backups (it otherwise would be).

Note that the pool only contains 100 addresses by default, and for technical reasons a new (hidden) address is created each time you send coins, so you must backup your wallet regularly whether you've encrypted it or not.

What's the best way to move funds from a specific address that I have in Bitcoin Core?
Click Inputs under Coin Control when sending coins, and select which address(es) to use.

In terms of USD value are transaction fees all products and services everywhere going to get more expensive over time?
FTFY. The answer is yes, incidentally. Wink

3. Use the mined profits and/or more taxpayer's money to purchase more mining hardware.
4. Repeating steps 2 and 3 until you get 99% of the hashing power under your control.
5. Realise that the other 75% of miners are already doing exactly that so you're not getting anywhere.
6. Give up.

Yes, that's a peacock. An Indian peacock to be specific. They're notoriously bad at geography.
