do you run a full node? I think If your wallet was encrypted then they sent it via rpc calls.

What?

Yeah does not make sense. You still need to send the walletphrase RPC command to spend the coins via API if the wallet was encrypted.

A self-contained windmill packed with ASICs and wireless 4G connection would do just fine. As part of the yearly maintenance routine you'd grease the bearings and replace the ASICs with more efficient versions.

Yes, full node, but how can he removed all my blockchain files later?

Do you live your entire life on you Macbook, including doing your banking transactions?

You should also assess what information was lost with their access to your computer. Then take steps to ensure that you don't stand to lose anything else in addition to your coins.
264  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ultimate Hodlers only thread - do you have a dollar price in mind? on: April 21, 2016, 05:43:57 AM
When the price exceeds $2K I will move 10% of my coins into physical gold. The reason for this is that I don't believe in keeping too much wealth in one asset class.

After that, the next price level at which I'd sell another 10% (of what's left) would be in the $10K range. With the strategy no matter how high BTC gets I will always own some. At the same time I won't die with a bunch of BTC that would only be spent by my heirs.

If you run a store it is best to have a setup where the service runs on something like a VPS with high bandwidth and high availability. You can always control it from your phone through some generic remote access app, though a dedicated app would be the best.

You don't want your store to go offline everytime you step into an elevator or take the subway.
266  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [14000Th] Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB on: April 16, 2016, 05:09:48 PM
Can somebody remind me again why my estimated position in the payout queue keeps slipping as the days go by even if my hashrate and pool hashrate remain relatively constant? I understand it is an estimate, but why does the estimate get longer as bad luck increases?

I think it might be related to this:

"The Payout Queue prioritizes qualifying payouts based on their age (oldest earnings not yet paid). As you continue to mine, your balance increases and so do those ahead of you already in the Queue, so you may be bumped into the next found block chunk of payouts."

eligius.st/~gateway/faq-page#t13n27

If you are mining more consistently, with a good rig, often times smaller miners that haven't been paid in a long time seem to get pushed up to the top of the queue, as soon as they hit the minimum payout threshold.

Thanks, but it doesn't quite explain why the Payout Queue changes during a period when no blocks are found. Unless of course the Payout Queue estimation uses as input the estimated earnings from the next block which is yet to be found.

How can you forget altoid? Roll Eyes
He must be first among the list.

Now rotting in jail for lifetime.

As far as I was aware he was not a Piece of Shitter to his users.

It might wipe out a whole lot of private keys (and their owners) though.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible that receiver pays the fee? on: April 10, 2016, 04:20:01 AM
Is there a way in bitcoin transaction that fee is deducted from or paid by receiver?

I would love to know how to, if this is possible. Then I would send multiple 1 Satoshi payments to all those people who annoy me.

What about Patrick Harnett and his Starfish BCB?

I wouldn't say that he started off as a Shit Bitcoiner but he sure ended up that way.
274  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer ethernet convert to USB on: March 19, 2016, 03:52:52 AM
Bridge from Computer...  On my computer create a USB to Ethernet and hook up the Antminer - didn't work well.

If you actually bridged your USB/Ethernet adapter with your other adapter on your computer and got your mining setup to actually work you are NOT hiding your Antminer's IP address from your local network.

Instead of a bridge the correct way to do this would be to setup some kind of routing/NAT software on your computer and create a new subnet between your computer and Antminer. I've done this before at work (not for mining) when I had to hide a cluster of rogue, non-compliant, development servers from corporate IT Grin.

If banks disappear where would you go to borrow money for e.g. a mortgage? The forum lending section?
276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we reduce the blockchain? on: March 15, 2016, 12:33:51 PM
use pune mode if you don't plan to run a full node or don't swap to many new wallet, it will cut it to 2-3 giga

Sure but the goal is to make it still possible for anyone willing to participate to run a full node so nodes aren't centralized too Smiley

I believe that a pruned node is still a full node.

I've got a not very expensive notebook computer. It's got a 2Tb hard disk, so I suspect I'm still covered for a decade or so of growth in Bitcoin. Smiley

Seriously?
Well I might overestimate the price of storage disk then...

Storage size isn't big problem in running full nodes whether it's pruned node or not since harddisk price is around $0.03-$0.06/GB.
The biggest problem are good internet connection to run full nodes, and internet connection is expensive in some country.

But, i think pruned node isn't real full node. Bitcoin network can't store past transaction if every nodes use pruned node.

A fast CPU is also necessary to allow for fast block propagation each time a new block is solved. You can't have Raspberry Pi's taking 60 seconds to validate a XMB block (where X > 1) before sending it off to its peers.
277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How likely is it that future hard-forks will increase the number of bitcoins? on: March 12, 2016, 11:58:48 AM

Also, but correct me if I am wrong, Bitcoins are comparable to shares of a company. The whole Bitcoin network is controlled by the total number of Bitcoins. If you don't have Bitcoins and need to transact in Bitcoin, you need to buy some and become "shareholder", even if this is for the fraction of time you need to complete the transaction. Expanding the number of Bitcoins would mean open the network to new users and avoid having a centralized control.


I don't quite agree with this analogy but ...

A publicly listed company that does well splits its shares. A company that needs more money issues more shares and dilutes existing shareholders. As a shareholder which would you prefer?

Using Satoshis as units instead of Bitcoin is like a 100,000,000 for 1 split.

How many of those addresses do you think are someones 2nd and 3rd addresses, meaning what is your guess on the amount of actual people compared to addresses in that pool?

Yeah, and how many addresses are shared addresses. You know, where the whole hippie commune share a single Bitcoin address.
279  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex & maker-taker fees on: March 11, 2016, 12:40:44 PM
I wonder how they treat an order that starts off with a partial fill as a taker, and subsequently completed with a partial fill as a maker. Do they treat it as 2 separate trades?
280  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: question on using localbitcoins.com paying in cash on: March 06, 2016, 02:02:52 PM
@Soros Shorts

so the escrow thing with giving him cash seems safe no?
i mean, yes he could technically run away, but this profile https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/israeliboy/ seems very safe to me atleast, i have zero experience, but with a profile like this, would you feel 100% comfortable giving him cash and waiting for him to press the release button?

You have to make your own judgment whether you want to carry $500 in the location that you agreed to meet. FWIW I was always the seller, so my focus was on how not to get jumped AFTER the transaction. I've done way more than $500, though, if that should put you at ease.
