Your Aruba account will be validated upon your first order.

In order to validate your account, you need to provide the following:
- Individual: copy of valid ID card / passport.
- Company: any company registration document.
This is like the opposite of what I would want to share for a VPS. If I use it, it is for privacy.
27002  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 bitcoins. Will I be a millionaire by 2020? on: March 23, 2016, 09:28:04 PM
Your best shot is to convert those 100 BTC into ETH...$100-200 per ETH in the next couple of years is not really that far fetched in my opinion...
$0.50 per eth is also not that far fetched in my opinion Wink
Fact is: it's pure speculation. In general it's recommended to diversify, if you put all your eggs in one basket you can also lose everything by 2020.

It can happen, and I have seen it happen. I remember a user starting at 500 sat faucet, and going up to 200 mBTC before he busted. He wagered several Bitcoin in that session.
It is possible, just not so likely. If we ignore the house edge, chance of doubling is equal to chance of losing all.So on average, if you start with 500 sat faucet 200 times, you can get 1 mbtc once.

How do i select the GPU Huh?
You can try asking here: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22], I've had great help there to get it working.
It doesn't ask me to choose a device, I have just one option I guess, so I can't tell you how to select it.

Fixed it. Grin

Total is around 7.29BTC.
If the people in the spreadsheet got paid already I think I was forgotten... If you're still working on it I'm just too impatient Wink
27007  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin survive world war III? on: March 21, 2016, 11:02:05 PM
If internet is unreliable, 6 confirmations is no longer enough. If you (or your continent) gets disconnected from the main miners in China, you'll be running on a smaller side chain that gets replaced once you reconnect.
Bitcoin will survive. It's just as unreliable as your internet will be.

I'm just wondering if it's because I have a text file with a few (!) wallet to search for that the expected time taken between percentages vary after 50%, 75% etc?
No, I search 25000 keywords, the percentage is just based on the total chance.
I found a 6 character address yesterday in about half a second. I tried again, and it showed 20 minutes for 50% chance. It's just a matter of being lucky to have the right string in the random addresses quickly.
27009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: March 20, 2016, 06:55:58 PM
But I think phone wallet is not much that risky, it will be the same as our wallet for notes/cash-currency in our pocket. Its lose will be the same as the lose of our fiat wallet
I can't make backups of my fiat money! Trust me, I would if I could!
If I lose my phone, the only risk is that someone might brute-force the 6 digit pin before I restore a backup and empty the wallet.
On the other hand, with fiat money I'm pretty sure nobody can take it out of my wallet without physical access. With a bitcoin wallet there is a (small) possibility for that to happen.

Free domain and ugly text-only html interface
100% not a scam /s

At least put some effort in your site if you want to scam someone Tongue
we already paid 0.142+ Bitcoin..
That means you have to pay at least 0.142+ Bitcoin more. Where is that supposed to come from? The next fool who drops you money?
Tell me: would you also dare run this in real life, with some guys who are bigger than you are?
27011  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin Vanity Addresses! on: March 20, 2016, 02:46:13 PM
I am looking forward to buy one card as I'm willing to find this prefix by myself: 1kingalt1

You have to use upper-case Lima - ie "L" and India - "I" can only be lower case "i" , so you'd be after

1kingaLt1 - I would suggest you try 1KingALT1 which looks more ascetic.
GMTA! I was typing the exact same thing before I read the next page.

Note that 1king takes about 40 times longer than 1King. This holds for every combination: starting with upper case is much faster.

Quote
It'd take ~ 24hours to get to the dreaded 50%, then it's something like another 24 hours to get to 75%, another 24 hours to 80% and so on.  Not sure why it does that.
24 hours is the time required for 50% chance to hit it. If you stop and restart your search at any possible time, it is still 24 hours for 50%. If you don't find it the first 24 hours, it is still 24 hours for 50% chance, but calculating from the start of your search, you have a 75% chance to find it in 2 days. You can be lucky or unlucky to find it.

shorena can I ask you how much it would cost me an address starting with 1SmartIphone exact case and case insensitive
I can answer that Smiley Exact case is not possible, an upper case i is not allowed. 1SmartiPhone would take about a million years. Case insensitive thousands of years. Anything above 8 digits is virtually impossible at the moment.
27013  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin in 2020 on: March 20, 2016, 10:58:33 AM
Bitcoin right now has a huge traffic volume compared to paypal.
That traffic volume is due to trading, not because of buying items. I don't even think one percent of the bitcoin volume is used for actual sales.
27014  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: March 20, 2016, 10:17:37 AM
If I have the "1" eg "1name" will the -r look just at the front?
With -r there is no reason for adding the 1, unless you want to. The -r option reduced the speed to less than 100kkeys/s here, about two thirds off.

I have considered searching for somethhing short (say 1Hi), and after this doing a second search through the output-file. Unfortunately, oclvanitygen says I can better use CPU for short strings. I did indeed notice it takes about 1 second for an ocl-search to start, so I can't just output a lot of keys this way. On CPU it finds about 200 per second, if that would be 25 times more on GPU, I could do a regex-search on only the keys starting with 1Hi at 5kkeys/s. But it doesn't work that way, I'm just curious why.
27015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Calling ETH TOP on: March 19, 2016, 11:33:56 PM
i do believe there's a hell of a bubble going on with ETH fueled by the bitcoin scaling crisis.
If bitcoin is losing value over this, why is the scaling crisis not solved? Isn't it in the interest of miners to do so?
27016  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: March 19, 2016, 11:19:04 PM
If I had more time or much faster computational power I'd go ahead and help other people or generate a full "1actmyname" prefix. (But even the non-case-sensitive of that takes 100+ days at my current speed)
I need 11 days for 50% chance for "1actmyname -i". Are you running on a fast CPU, or on a very slow GPU? If you use a fast CPU now, it may be possible to switch to your video card and get much more speed out of it (for me it added approximately 1 character in the same time).

Out of curiousity: what if the vanity pool finds the required address, but adds something bad behind it? Just bad luck for the person who bought the address? My search for 1faucets" ended up with an additional "uck" behind it. If someone pays good money for an address, they won't like it.
27017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much will cost Dogecoin after 5-10 years? on: March 19, 2016, 03:17:45 PM
I actually worried that doge wil not survive long enough, there are a lot of people say that doge is just a joke (don't take me wrong, i support doge and trade it regularly) and though its experienced quite a high increasement a few weeks ago, its rate is now stuck at (when I made this post) 56-57ish. Its rate is fluctuating around that number and never passing above 60.
Doge has been a lot lower too! I've seen it go up and down a few times, so I made some (small) buy and sell orders if either one happens.

https://coinmarketcap.com/ shows a Market Cap of $22.4M, while Clams is worth only $1.3M. Amazingly I hear/read/see a lot more about Clams than about Doge. So yeah, I believe Doge will last longer. 5-10 years is not that long, it could very well be worth about the same as it is worth now.

Dogecoin has usage has a tipping currency on reddit and some other places.
The transaction fee for Doge is about 1% of the Bitcoin-fee, which makes it perfect for small transactions. In Bitcoin you pay around $0.05 on fee if you want any speed, which makes small transactions expensive.
27018  Economy / Economics / Re: So I made some calculations today on: March 19, 2016, 02:15:29 PM
So I made some calculations today.
The total world's wealth is estimated around $241,000,000,000,000 (source)
I realized something else: you are comparing "money" and "wealth", while the two of those aren't directly related.
Suppose bitcoin would go up in value and be worth 100 times more. Market cap would be around 6 trillion dollars. You would say wealth went up, right? But in reality it only moves from one person to the other, as nothing more is produced because of it.
Just like increasing prices of all products does not make us more wealthy, even if our salary increases with it.
Owning more money would make me wealthier, but only if someone else loses money over it. Not if we all get more money.

The weird thing about money is: the more you think about it, the more you realize you don't understand what it is.

Thanks for the list. I've been thinking about creating a faucet of my own for a while now, and this is a nice start for the advertising part of the pages.
27020  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: CryptoRollover - Win The Jackpot || Brand New Faucet || BETA on: March 19, 2016, 11:19:37 AM
With lower resolution 1024x768 ads cover the page.
Same here. At first I thought this would be a casino, but it's a faucet. Some how I did not read further than "Jackpot" in the topic title.

It would be nice to make this work without email registration, just an 1addy could be enough.
