Jasad, when you say "just received on my email", was it an encrypted email using your PGP key?  If not think about writing your bitcoin private key on the back of a postcard and sending it through the mail.  Only, wait, it's worse because if you sent a bitcoin private key in plaintext via a bunch of unknown relays in the mail system then any number of machines may well have seen your email and said "well, doesn't that look formated like bitcoin private key".  I would not send bitcoin to such an address if I were you.


xhomerx10, that one belongs in the hall of fame if you ask me.  Nice address!

What do you mean, "inject 32 different bytes into each"?  Good to know that the script runs on any system.

Indeed, as far as I know, there are a handful of "dicing scripts" that get sold around to people who want to be the "next big thing in dicing".  From what I can tell, people ought to take an example from the California gold rush of the mid 1800's,  A few people who were there first made a whole lotta money.  Then masses of people came west with "get rich!" ideas in their heads.  Of those people, almost no one made any money, with one exception: the people selling picks and shovels and buckets and supplies.

Anyway, my real point here is that whoever is selling the dicing scripts (which, yes, tend to look the same because they're probably originally forks of the same source) is the only one making any money at this point from dicing (with the obvious exception of the few who were there first).

Thanks for the reply.  When I see the thread is updated everyday and I come here just to find out that someone posted on a blog, and the blog isn't even about bitcoinaverage, it's just someone at bitcoinaverage commenting on other bitcoin news....Yes, I do think weekly or bi-weekly would be nicer. 

Exactly this^^^.  And, in case anyone wasn't aware, he's also using his army of alts to try to amply the effect of his smear campaign.  See, here for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1389916.0  newtons1 is an alt of QS, he created that thread at the same time as this one.  Who knows how many other people in these threads are actually just QS doing his smear-army thing?

danda, I think you cleared up the OPs confusion.  Nevertheless, you do say that there's some "tiny" fees to be earned, if they OP wants to run a Lightning Node, I guess he can earn those fees by just running the software then.

You can, however, dd whatever's on the disk to a program to look for memory that looks like private keys.  Assuming they were unencrypted.  Dooglus has posted a program that does just this.  If I were trying to recover keys from a disk, the first thing I'd do is make a copy of the entire memory on the disk before using it any further, that way if there is an unencrypted private key on the disk, it won't get written over.

Timelord, I think the way you're using "wallet" to mean "collection of addresses" and to also mean "individual address" is a bit confusing.  Also, walletexplorer isn't concrete truth, I've looked up my own addresses in it and it often says I'm sharing a wallet with people who have paid me or who I have paid.

For a long time this was a relatively inactive thread.  I love the bitcoinaverage project.  But to be honest if you're going to start bumping this thread everytime someone writes a blogpost I'm thinking I'll remove it from my watchlist.  This just isn't very useful.  I think that anyone who wants to follow your blog can do so through your blogging interface.  I think that continuous bumps for it here just look kinda desperate.  MHO.

That's because you searched it as an address rather than a transaction id.  This page exists and no errors: https://blockchain.info/tx/77180e1b5e877be1f02f87b52dd19c9b0464299c84375f0aed73df631dbb8bb9

Is this really on-topic in a thread about forum rules? (and yes, image shows fine for me too)

Right, there's no way you're getting invited to the secret area once you've talked about the secret area...wait, did that just do me in too?!

Tip received.  Thank a lot and glad to see that the bitcoinaverage project is coming out with new stuff.

Lol, you should be able to generate them a lot faster than one per minute.  Oh, wait, you mean a vanity address?  Well then it's going to depend on how long a string you're going to pre-specify and your equipment.  I tell ya what, you give it a try and tell us how fast you're coming up with them.

Lol, iirc, the old seals was very good about providing a chance to cash out any chips before the shutdown.  I don't think I actually have any money associated with my account.  The main purpose of my lamenting is just that I really enjoyed a lot of hours of playing bitcoin poker on my couch on my tablet, and on the bus on my phone.  Nothing in the last two years since they shut down even comes close.  I think I used to believe that swc was going to achieve what old seals achieved and am a bit heartbroken now that I realize it was just hype or whatever.

I think he posts it in all the media that he feels like.  And from what I've seen it usually goes out on the social media and Micro announces it here when he thinks of it.  It's crazy to be so negative about someone offering you extra free money and taking the time to tell you about it.

Done.  I wonder how much the tip is supposed to be.  In any case, the survey was very short and painless (telling to people who haven't done it yet).

Sure, I could email them.  But since I have no way of logging into the "new site" (from what I can tell, you can't do anything on the new site at all except read the blogs and the news posts), and since I have no way of running the software, I haven't done anything at all.

For sure, it seems to me like at the very least they should have opened up some sort of logins on the website so that you could recover your old account and maybe chit-chat in the trollbox.  As it stands, I haven't even been able to log-in since Dec 2014.  In March 2015 when Micon said android or some sort of cross-platform ability was coming, I believed.  I don't really believe anymore.

Unless you used to play the old seals on your android tablet on your sofa, and on your android phone on a long bus commute.  And you haven't run windoze software since you played Sid Meyer's Civilization when you were a kid.  In that case the old seals was awesome and the new seals is just promises that one day you're recover your account and your krill.  And after waiting more than a year for that one day, it starts to feel like it was just bullshit.  Okay, so that's why people are saying it.
