Since a few days, Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 is available. Also since a few days, transactions take much longer to be confirmed. The new Bitcoin Core has a much higher recommended fee. I think this is the cause of the delays: if you don't join the higher fee, you lose priority. I just saw this block being mined: 25 BTC block-reward, and 4.67004169 BTC fees. That is 2000 dollar or almost 20% of the block reward! Are miners using the limited block size to force users to pay much more, so the halving will hurt them less? I know this block had much more fees than average, which is why I picked this one to demonstrate. |

install these packages and recompile (make clean && make):
nvidia-libopencl1-352
nvidia-opencl-icd-352
The first one was new, the second installed already. Now I'm back to the error I had before: can't find -lOpenCL cc oclvanitygen.o oclengine.o pattern.o util.o -o oclvanitygen -ggdb -O3 -Wall -lpcre -lcrypto -lm -lpthread -lOpenCL

2. I would like to make a copy of the 'paper' wallet .pdf file and store it in the cloud, so I can restore it in case I lose the USB pen drive. Is there a safe way to do that? I know that the wallet can not be considered 'Cold' anymore once I do so, but I don't want to rely on this one usb pen drive only.
I would just print the PDF, paper lasts much longer than a USB-stick. Or, just write the private key down in a book, inside a wall, at the back of a wall-mounted (empty?) safe, or anywhere else nobody would guess. |

That is really cool I will try this out in Burger King Utrecht in the Netherlands.
You'll be disappointed, try Arnhem. |

you can mix coins all you like. but if your going to convert it back to FIAT.. you need to expect to be taxed
Central governments are desperately trying to maintain their power. This FIAT-exchange is just a temporary thing, the moment you can just pay with bitcoin, it won't be needed anymore. Who needs a prepaid card if you can just pay by scanning a QR-code? |

Life sure would be interesting again. If technology just stopped working then we would be killing each other over food. Then shortly afterward... killing each other for food.
Next thing: dying due to lack of food. Apart from the fact that city people (and that's about everybody by now) can't find their food in the wild, there is simply not enough food for so many people. No technology means no fertilizer, no plow, no knifes, basically back to before the stone age. I doubt even a million people will survive. |

I just exchanged Ubuntu for Linux Mint MATE. So far it's looking okay: simple desktop that has everything I need and works quite well.
Only weird thing: it has Yahoo and other forgotten search engines as default, I had to manually add Google to my browsers!

Thank you! This fixed it, and also removed the two double spend transactions from my Transaction-list. |

But I need that pass word How can we do the exchange of password for reward?
This is like a riddle! Do you have several wallets with the same passsword, and that's the password you need to recover? How can you mistype a password several times? |

I have reinstalled my laptop with a different Linux-distribution. This screenshot shows my new install (top) and my old install (bottom):  I am using the same wallet.dat, and I copied it back to the old install to create a screenshot of the old situation. Everything used to be fine, but in the new version it keeps showing 594.46684 mBTC as Pending. I know it's not send by real transactions, no money is coming in. Nothing changed in the Transactions-tab. I have had 2 "weird" transactions in the past: the first said it's a double spend, the second I actually did a double spend to fix a zero fee transaction that was stuck for 2 weeks. But the total amount of this was much less than what's Pending now. Anybody knows what is going on here? It makes my Bitcoin Core looks messy, and it makes it seem I have more mBTC than I really have. |

Safe method to gamble :
Bet 1 btc on 1.1 multiplier
If lost
Bet 15 btc on 1.1 multiplier
If lost
Bet 200 bitcoin on 1.1 multiplier
If lost
Bet 2200 bitcoin on 1.1 multiplier
If say 1000 people do this once, it's quite likely 999 people will win a tiny amount, and 1 person will lose everything. |

What i know is bitcoin halving will affect the price of bitcoin. many people speculate the price of bitcoin will increase and i hope it will happen. and what happened to the bitcoin price today, is it because halving ?
I don't expect a sudden price increase. I expect an increase anticipating the halving, and after the halving we'll see if the new price can be sustained. |

I feel like bitcoin can hit $10,000 by 2016 and $100,000 by 2017.
I agree: it can. But it's far from likely. If it does go up this much this fast, it will collapse again. So question is: at what value will you sell if it goes up fast day after day? $800? $1500? $10000? Do you cash in, risking to lose a chance to sell at a much higher price, or do you wait, risking to miss your chance when the price drops again? |

I'm running 14.04 (long term release). Do you have a Geforce 840M or another brand?
Do you use the binary (ie, proprietary) drivers form nvidia? if so, i can help you get it up and running. You probably don't, do you have bumblebee installed for discrete GPU use? I've reinstalled (from Ubuntu to Mint), but I get the same error: test@Laptop:~/vanitygen-master$ ./oclvanitygen 1test
Difficulty: 264104224
clGetPlatformIDs(0): Unknown code -1001
clGetPlatformIDs(0): Unknown code -1001
Available OpenCL platforms: I am using NVIDIA Driver Version 352.63, I'm not sure about the bumblebee-thing. Any help to get it working would be much appreciated |

I am in favor of the UK leaving the EU. It will accelerate the disintegration of the European Union. It will be good for the native people of Europe. The European Union was another attempt by the Germans to create the Fourth Reich, where Germany will dominate the other European nations. The Brits are intelligent, and that is why they are cancelling their membership.  ^^ Exactly. EU is a self-arranged government without support from the people, and which the people never asked for. You could call it a dictatorship, and their interests are far from the interests of the European population. |

It's one thing to have 20-30 CD's containing the wallet file, in safe spaces so if 1 CD gets lost or corrupted you have backup.
Why would you go through the hassle of burning so many backups of 1 small file, if you can just write down the private key? Take an old book you've had all your life, open it at page 36, and write it down. Unlike a CD, the book will last for centuries. Just remember which book it is |

LoyceV,
shit man! looks like you've really sodomized your computer now, uhm
I apologise for that LoyceV . I'm not sure how you can return your system
to how it was now. Again sorry about that. Probably best if I shutup now.
I've been planning a reinstall for a long time, guess I'll have to really do it now. I'm just not sure what distribution to use yet, I seem to like none of them anymore lately. I'll just try Mint. |

Interesting topic I've been thinking the same, but for my kids' college funds. The amound needed can be anywhere from infinite (bitcoin worthless) to a fraction of a bitcoin (bitcoin worth millions of dollars). Either way, you're 7 years too late buying now. Like any price-guess-topic, I think it's safe to say bitcoin won't increase 100,000 times in price again as it did the past 7 years. Of course, like all investments, it's wise to diversify. Although bitcoin has outperformed the stock market in the past year, that is no guarantee for the future. |

Throw a dice. If it hits 6 three times in a row, call it rigged. Keep throwing the dice until you reach this hellish number!
