Oh, it looks a bit more complicated than I'm comfortable with. I'm not sure about using ECDSA.

Is there a well known/proven script that can do the same?

The best known one IMO is the bitaddress you used.
You can enter your private key on the "Wallet Details" tab and get the address instantly. But of course, you should run it offline. Smiley

Have there actually been any cases of people downloading software and having their BTC coins hacked?

Here is just one example of such malware.

Scam artists scam because there are still people who fall for their scams.

If there were no victims, there would be no scam artists.

Somehow I think these gullible people will always be with us, and so will the scams that follow them. And looking at this community sometimes, I feel it is somehow actually getting worse.... Undecided

That's true sadly.
I don't really understand why people fall for some obvious scams so easily...

The dog may be on to you, I'd advise you wiretap your house and set up security cams.

That dog thinks he may be so smart.

Are you sure that is really your dog? Cheesy

Last time I did some cold storage I used bitaddress.org.

I've been messing around with manually hashing in Ubuntu terminal and was wondering if I could create a private key manually, then create public key and finally Bitcoin address.

Is it possible using basic hashing functions, or would I need to download a script?


According to the page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses, you can convert a private key to bitcoin address in those 9 steps, but it looks very complicated...

269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: July 02, 2014, 06:34:48 AM
True, but this is a neat result:

99.1624% of the time you win 1 unit
0.8376% of the time you lose 127 units (that's about 1 in 120 times that you play)

Betting 127 units to win 1 unit is a 1.007874x payout.
On a site with a 1% edge, you would get a 98.2265625% chance of winning such a bet.

But we have a 99.1624% chance of winning it by using this martingale progression.
That is significantly better.

Looks to me like we've reduced the 1% house edge to an effective edge of 0.0568%!

>>> (0.505^7 * 127 - (1 - 0.505^7))  /  127.0 * 100
0.05679948984803941


No, because you're not betting 127 units every time.

Exactly as illustrated in #523, the bettor is expected to risk 7.21 btc on average with the martingale.
While on the other hand, if you put 127 bitcoin in a 98.2265625% bet, you are risking 127 btc. Smiley

As for Etherium and other crypto 2.0 - sure there will be a way to make it fully automated there, without human participation at all. This is the future of Ponzi schemes Smiley

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Cheesy
Those who like ponzi an play with fully automated ones.
Those who don't like ponzi won't see any ponzi thread in this section (as they will be in the altcoin section).

Anyone know if we will be able to use the same accounts in PD3? i.e. same stats on wagered etc?

It will be great as we don't need to withdraw our bitcoin and re-deposit to our new account.
But AFAIK, it is still not clear at this moment.

Small mistake on our side. It has been readjusted back to 1000 Smiley

Weird, I am still getting the 250 faucet. I spent all today waiting for faucet to go back up, very disappointed Sad.

ya same still 250

Nope it is still 250 as well over here so guess it will be readjusted a bit later
Looking forward to PD3

Stunna has made another small mistake.
Maybe he didn't sleep well due to the stress for preparing PD3. Cheesy

To be honest, I really doubt that you have received 718 (+100 of your own) btc from others with a newbie account and zero info on your identity.

Anyway, looks like no one has complained about his/her lost (maybe because no one has invested at all). Tongue

As it is selling hash power, can we consider it as a cex.io alternative ?

No idea if it is legit or not, but the price definitely looks way way way better than cex.io lol. Cheesy

Payments have been sent in the genesis-mining program, but it seems the sig program will be ended after paying everyone.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=631729.msg7599758#msg7599758
This was a great campaign month! As of now, we do not continue the signature campaign.
All payments for successfull signatures will be done, but no new paid month started.

Unfortunately I'll be removing the signature and leaving the campaign.
Best of luck.

Not a good idea IMO. You should wait for another day before doing so.
Now, lightlord can deny payment to you, as he really don't know if you have kept the 777coin sig for the week (and you can't prove that either).
