What are these ones all about:
Quote
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. Server-assisted clients like blockchain.info rely on centralized servers to do their network verification for them. Although the server can't steal the client's bitcoins directly, it can easily execute double-spending-style attacks against the client.

A mod should IMO also have some kind of good example function.

This Forum (and therefore Bitcoin) looks totally scammy to new people (that don't know yet what Bitcoin exactly is) if half of it's Users advertise for Gamblin and dodgy investments with signal color sigs.

That you take part in this disqualifies you IMO

I don't think it matters much, for example John K. used to advertise some gambling site in his sig when he used to be a global mod.

I understand that the forum name is 'bitcointalk' and not altcointalk. But there's already a section for alt-coins. Which means we can      talk      about anything we like ( that's how I see it and more than 90% other people )

Good that you mention it, there's no "talking" going on in giveaway threads, just spamming with your address to increase post count and earn a few bitcents from signature ad payouts.

Se this basically means that we will no longer be able to receive coins for free ?

You can, just do it off-site or over PM.
2707  Economy / Speculation / Re: Today BTC = $800, $9200 to go and why 10 BTC will never make you rich on: January 27, 2014, 02:08:21 PM
You are assuming all those "hodlers" will never cash out any BTC somewhere along the way like many did in the past.

Although I am skeptical about the price reaching $10-100k in the near future (<12 months), in late 2012 I would never have believed that the price would attain even $100 within the next few months.

I wouldn't concentrate on the market cap too much, there are companies with a market cap 10-20-50x that of BTC, and BTC is not just "a company" but a concept to be used by many.

Also yeah, if you live in an expensive area or are used to high standards, you may need to spend 100 BTC @ $10k to buy a house and a car but you could easily spend several times less than that.

Try PM'ing them here or contacting them on IRC, eventually you might actually get your bitcoins back if you're a bit lucky.

BTW, at 3 pounds per bitcoin that was probably 2011 or 2012.

Somebody tell me how Deckers is still considered a Newbie, had one post outside the Newbie section, been online for only 7 minutes, registered today with logging off ~20 minutes later, and is able to post in this section.

I award a to Vitalik Buterin (author: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/author/vitalik-buterin/). He may have been 14 at the time of the genesis block, but it is sufficient to say if he says something about Bitcoin, it is probably correct.

I'm not a member of the illuminati that can hand out forum icons though.

I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:

Bitcoin expertDev&Tech only. People with this badge know enough about the Bitcoin network to reimplement something very like it from scratch. They are capable of intelligently discussing the Bitcoin network: current protocol, possible attacks, proposed changes, etc. Criteria: Recommendation by an existing Bitcoin expert or core dev and approval by a forum administrator.
Bitcoin-Qt core developer Dev&Tech only. These are the core developers of Satoshi's Bitcoin client. They are listed here. Core developers are among the top contributors to Bitcoin-Qt, and they are all bitcoin experts, though they don't also get that badge.

A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs.

2714  Other / Meta / Re: trust feedback on: January 21, 2014, 08:13:21 PM
It's a very bizarre system unfortunately - you should simply get a +1 for every feedback you get so it shows up easily and clearly.

It would be worthless because it would be too easy to manipulate with sockpuppets.
2715  Other / Meta / Re: The forum needs to be divided: Software, Hardware/EE, Physics, Number Theory, .. on: January 20, 2014, 04:50:42 PM
Case in point: "Technical discussions" can be taken to mean quite a few things these days.  There is a type of discussion there that is extremely popular such as "How can I resolve this computing problem in this other language" yet questions about hardware and the science of cryptography itself seem to get buried under those.

• There is no appropriate place here for me to discuss how I think excitation of chlorine and other spin 3/2 nuclei can act as cheap true random number generators.

Post in Off-topic, or in Development & Technical Discussion if you're proposing to use it with the Satoshi cilent, or in Project Development if it's more than just discussion.

Quote
• There is no good place to discuss clever analog circuitry for bitcoin blockchain transmission

It fits the description of the D&TD board ("Technical discussion about Satoshi's Bitcoin client and the Bitcoin network in general.") so I presume you can post it there.

Quote
• Where does one get a number theory question explored these days?

Off-topic, or D&TD if it's related to Bitcoin.

Pardon my tone, but look what just fucking showed up at technical discussions:

Hi all

I'm looking to buy a 7950 because it's not expensive but I'm not sure if it will work for mining.

The one that I want to buy doesn't look like other 7950.

Let me know if it's a normal 7950

 Thank

Why does this happen?  Because no effort is made to project that bitcoin is serious shit.

It shouldn't be there and I reported it, in a matter of few hours max one of the global mods or gmaxwell will have it moved.

2717  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Mixing is practical: economic analysis and design guidelines [academic paper] on: January 20, 2014, 01:30:27 PM
- Fourth, mixing fees should be all-or-nothing, that is, for every chunk of money the mix should either retain all of it or none. This might sound strange, but it greatly improves anonymity against clever analysis of the blockchain. If every time a user mixes a chunk the mix takes a constant 2% cut (or a randomized 1–3% cut) as a fee, then a chunk passing through multiple mixes in a row will have its value decrease in a traceable way. We can avoid this with all-or-nothing fees.

There are two consequences of this. First, the chunks should be small enough (say 0.01 BTC at the current exchange rate) that most mix users will accept the variance associated with random transaction fees. Second, this will mean that to mix realistic volumes, users will necessarily have to automate their interactions with mixes.

How will users (or their client software) verify that mixes that aren’t taking more than their cut? In the paper, we provide a cryptographically secure way to do this. But that’s not strictly necessary — since these chunks are quite small and most users will have significant numbers of chunks that they’ll move through each mix, clients can statistically verify if the mix deviates from it’s posted policy on the transaction fee.

Won't the large number of "chunks" cause too much strain on the network if people start doing it en masse?

Have you already acquired BTC and are interested in trading to profit from price fluctuations, or do you want to buy your first bitcoins?

If it's the former then you could try BTC-E or bitfinex, as they don't require you to submit your dox, stool samples, etc. if you're not planning on withdrawing or depositing fiat currencies.

If it's the latter then most exchanges will ask for the dox, but you can avoid this hassle if you decide to buy through localbitcoins.

You can bid on forum ad slots or pay people to put ads in their signatures. If you go with the latter option please don't pay them for more than 100-200 posts per month Smiley
2720  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Finders keepers? I found an address with 50 BTC via brain wallet! on: January 18, 2014, 05:10:10 PM
I was playing around with the brain wallet and checking the addresses with blockchain. I found a wallet with a balance of 50 BTC! The coins were put in the wallet in 2011 and there hasn't been any activity since. I don't want to steal someones coins but if they are "lost" I don't want to have them just sitting there. It's a lot of money!  I was thinking of sending a small amount into the wallet with a message letting the person know the situation. If nothing happens after a while I guess it's "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers." What's the right thing to do in this situation?

May I ask how long it took you to find out the passphrase leading to this address? Did you automate this process or did you do it manually?

I wouldn't be sure what to do in such a situation, you can either leave it where it is because it's not actually yours, or you can send it to an address of your own to ensure no one else can steal it, but post the address and the contact details in public in multiple places (bitcointalk.org, reddit.com/r/bitcoin, etc.) so that the owner (if he still has access to to the private key or passphrase) can contact you if he finds out about his missing BTC.
