Another 69... Amazing Smiley And you've got some nice grades there.

I'll be waiting for pics of the 69
2642  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-07-10] CD: Problems Mount for Customers of GAW Miners Linked ISP on: July 10, 2015, 11:31:23 PM
I don't know what kind of relation the ISP has with the main company... But I don't know how clients haven't fled from there.

They probably rent lines to some other ISP, and they're stopped paying rent, or something like that. Run from everything GAW related...

I suspect he slid the fee slide bar the the "max" position.  Options are optional for a reason.

Looks like you got 2 minute confirmation... so congrats on that.

No wonder Cheesy Even with all this spam, it's quite a nice fee!

This was already linked in the forums... As for paper wallets, they are still not safe if the device captures readings from a printer.

The attacker has already harmed the blockchain... just not by much.

Here goes some pictures. Only took 3, as Mitchełł already did a much better job than me photographing these coins Cheesy





I have to agree, the hologram looks quite nice Cool

It's the return of the Casascius S2 hologram.

Indeed our coins have a lot of similarities to the Casascius coins. The main thing is the pricing of course, we want to sell coins that are priced in a way Casascius coins used to be, back in the day. But the product itself has a lot of similarities: the coin is the same size, made of the same material and the hologram is similar to the Casascius S2 hologram.

The differences are that our coins each have a unique serial number on the hologram which allows for not only added collector value but unique usability features. The upcoming Denarium Explorer will allow anyone to quickly see the full Bitcoin address and the current balance of that particular coin (based on realtime blockchain data) by simply typing in the serial number.

Also the private key inside has differences. The format is the same as the later Cas coins which means it's a 30-character minikey format. But the difference is that we also have a QR code and the key is around it in a circle. The QR code can be scanned by modern smartphones that have a decent camera and this allows for really fast key import.

The serial number explorer idea sounds really good, looking forward to see it! Thanks for our coins Cheesy

No, at least for now... I think they've debunked the rumors, saying no.

Nobody said these pools wanted to build a block with only one transaction... Where is the data that makes that a fact?
2649  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [DENARIUM] Physical Bitcoins on: July 10, 2015, 10:59:33 AM
Just logged in to say my coins have just arrived. Only opened the envelope to check if everything is fine, looks like it is Smiley I'll be having a busy day, so I'll activate the coins later and I'll look at them more carefully then. I'll probably post a picture or two, too.

Just a first impression: although I thought the coins were bigger, they do look quite impressive and their design is simple, which really pleases me. I also liked the envelope with the QR codes and the detail of these codes on the seal. Good thing I didn't come for pictures after all, it would spoil the surprise! Tongue
2650  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [DENARIUM] Physical Bitcoins on: July 09, 2015, 06:13:51 PM
I've received my coins and I really like their packaging. The size of the coin is a bit small for its price but it's acceptable. They look and feel great. Will post some pictures tonight.

EDIT: The activation system worked perfectly.

Ah, now I really can't wait for mine Cheesy Hope they'll be here by tomorrow, meanwhile I'll be waiting for pictures.

New services are always welcome and yours seems a job pretty well done... But what could be the case uses for such a service? I think websites would probably need the wallet component of the Bitcoin Core client and not other API commands as much...
Why pay some developer to write the interactions with your wallet, when you can just grab an open source library that already does it? Smiley

Yes... I guess that's right Smiley

2653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: APPLE, AMAZON AND UBER - LETS CONVINCE CHUCK NORRIS AND WE HAVE WON! on: July 09, 2015, 03:38:02 PM
Uber either don't really want Bitcoin (in which case, they're not doing it right) or they are just protecting themselves and preventing further problems (this is what I think they're doing).

Uber is having enough issues with governments forbidding them to operate and taxi men blocking the streets, destroying Uber's cars and being generally aggressive to Uber drivers. What happened in France is just horrific...


Apple will not accept Bitcoin in the near future. Bitcoin would probably have to surpass Visa in volume for Apple to accept Bitcoin Cheesy Which is funny, because questioning what is "normal" and accepted is deep within Apple's culture and that's a bit what we're doing with Bitcoin, standing up against governments who think they know better than us what to do with our money.

As for Amazon, not sure what to say. Everyone should accept Bitcoin Smiley
2654  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Empty blocks on: July 09, 2015, 03:32:11 PM
Pretty interesting data... There seem to be more "blank" blocks than I thought. This is definitely not good, in my opinion...
2655  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [DENARIUM] Physical Bitcoins on: July 08, 2015, 10:45:36 PM
I see that you've got your activation system sorted and good to go, already received my activation email!

Now only the coins are missing. Hope to have them in hand by tomorrow or by friday, I'll report when they arrive Smiley
2656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just what is a FAIR fee to send a Bitcoin transaction? on: July 08, 2015, 10:31:31 PM
I haven't been following this thread, but this might be relevant to the discussion... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1114653.0

A fair fee, at the moment, is a fee that includes your transaction in the next block Wink
2657  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Formula for Future/Present Miner Fees on: July 08, 2015, 10:30:10 PM
It seems an interesting proposal, although I think BTC/USD rates should not make an impact in the fees paid... Fees are paid to miners, who mine because they ultimately believe in Bitcoin and because of that the rule of "1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin" should be applied here.
...
I understand what you are saying and I agree, but my reasoning for adding that is that miners,
I believe, are converting their coins into their own currency, to pay their electric bills and for new equipment.
And as such, they are concerned with current btc prices versus their expenses.
I do not think the miners are thinking along your lines yet. But will one day in the future.


I don't think miners are thinking like that right now either, but they can't just be all about profit Wink They've got to show some effort and dedication to the cause... If we have miners focused on quick profit only, and if those miners happen to have a lot of power in the blockchain... I don't even want to think what could they do. From selectively mining transactions to being able to control double spends... it wouldn't be good.

I know they have to pay for electricity, and they can sell whatever coins they need. But we can't also make them feel dependent on our fees... Our fees are just a little help, and incentive, a way of saying thanks. We hope that one day the fee market will be very competitive due to high acceptance of Bitcoin, so there will probably be enough fees to pay miners by then.
2658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rising on twitter - NYSE halted. Bitcoin unaffected. on: July 08, 2015, 10:14:27 PM
Unfortunately most traders only have eyes for their beloved fiat Roll Eyes And they're not setting foot on Bitcoin anytime soon. Maybe it's for the best... Sometimes it's not worse to keep out people who just want a quick buck.

They're also not moving to Bitcoin because they're afraid of getting burnt... Cheesy So they'll probably just enjoy a vacation day with this outage.
2659  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Formula for Future/Present Miner Fees on: July 08, 2015, 10:10:49 PM
It seems an interesting proposal, although I think BTC/USD rates should not make an impact in the fees paid... Fees are paid to miners, who mine because they ultimately believe in Bitcoin and because of that the rule of "1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin" should be applied here.

When the block reward reaches 0, this formula will probably not be applicable: it's best for the market to simply choose what fee they think it's best and elt the competition go from there... By then I expect the fee calculation algorithm in Bitcoin Core to be quite a bit more advanced, dynamically readjusting according to transactions in the mempool

So there you go... Opinions sent to a noob by someone even more noob! haha Smiley
