I don't know if it's the same trailer, but the one I saw yesterday will spoil the entire movie for you.

That guy turned out to be a pretty good actor, kind of an american version of jude law.
282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / removing actual full amount from wallet.dat? on: July 24, 2011, 12:11:43 PM
I have multiple wallets, 2 in different linux boxen and 2 different windows boxes.

each of these wallets more than likely have sub 0.00...

What I am requesting info for is how to remove everything down to the smallest denomination from the wallets.
or the X's in 0.00XXXXXX

At this current moment in time those bits are not too important I guess, so should I just take those seemingly empty wallet.dats and put them on the shelf?

BTW:
Thanks in advance, you guys are Awesome. Smiley

Ah, wouldn't that be a semitic conspiracy?

(I always get those two mixed up)

Semetic peoples refers to a list of people that covers a whole region while anti-semetic coined by a german refers only to Jews. Therefore Alex Jones is anti-semetic because he never talks about Jews or Isreal. xD
(probably because his wife and children are Jewish.)

The real options right now that is not widely spread to new people, and is actually turning people away is not knowing to entrust your stake with an exchange or online wallet.
The people that run exchanges and online wallets have so much more to lose than you, so please use them.

If their site goes down, their business goes down, therefore the site being up and secure is of the utmost importance to them. This can be relied on, as trust and security is interdependent to them. If one is lost the other is taken for as long as the imbalance is happening.

Yes, that worked out so well with Mt. Gox and MyBitcoin.

I don't know the full story with mybitcoin, but when I got back into my mtgox account, everything was still there.

I had no idea the world was run like he says it is. Even if 20% of his idea are correct its very troublesome.

this is all you really need to know.

LOL seriously!?  Thread about security:  don't learn about security, just give your money to other people.

Great security advice right there.

Don't think, let us do the thinking for you.  We're the ones who have a vested interest in thinking, not you.  Why should you think?  Do you really NEED to think to get by when I could just think FOR you?

Do you see how absurd that is?

I can take care of myself, thank you very much. Last time I checked, public websites/servers are the least secure places on the internet aside from people who link surf. Remember MTGox incident?

I was.
I even skim over the threads with the few people who have still not reclaimed their accounts and stolen funds before the fiasco to see how they are coming along, some have and some haven't.

That time delayed swift kick in the ass, hurt them quite a bit with reputation. However it indeed made them much more resilient. As well as upping the bar on security across the entire board, so much so that some exchanges use that utmost important factor of security as their main selling point.
We don't see those inquisition/crusades threads anymore toting a raging boner for full disclosure either.

It sounds like you have your area covered, been around long enough, so my best guess it that this thread isn't really for you.

*This isn't intended for security experts
**rant alert!

It was great in the beginning, the client was bitcoin's harbinger,
but now it's a completely new game that requires a level of security,
that isn't here or foreseeable yet. It's talked about, but it's still far away.

Out of maybe 20-40 issues I've seen since signing up to this forum the people with the most bitcoins lost due to theft, computer or even user failure was from running the client.

The real options right now that is not widely spread to new people, and is actually turning people away is not knowing to entrust your stake with an exchange or online wallet.

Remember to do your own research into this.
If running the client is the most secure method for your situation, and you are not at Mensa level, I'm the only person telling you to reflect on this rant. I don't like seeing people pissed off, confused and just being kind of hateful and hugely skeptical toward and of one another. 

So, if after all the research you have done, all of this is still becoming way to daunting for you, use an exchange or online wallet. You will feel so much better having that layer of detachment and you might even notice no transaction fees. After that all you have to really be mindful of is managing all of your passwords, and the computer you are using.

Why bother with maintaining the space program when you can simply print a few billion dollars and hire someone who still accept them to do it all for you.



even do it cheaper too. xD

you remember the story a couple years ago about the british guy that set up a telescope (something like a Dobsonian I think) in a shack in his backyard that rivaled the best observatories we have?

Tasty : I'll have to get myself one of those suits , although I think I would look silly in a bow tie  Grin

It would look good if someone could shop BTC signs on the suit.
Most people probably wouldn't get it though.

Saw that guy smack dab in the middle of a women's rights/feminist march in WashingtonDC about 5 years ago. Was peddling his stuff right in the middle of where the march was going through. I suspect he was just there doing his thing, and didn't expect the crowd of a few 100k to build up and surround him Smiley

no wonder the economy turned sour! xD
293  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How easy would it be on: July 23, 2011, 02:50:16 AM
If one person had enough money and one to a few variances of bots to become completely embedded in Mt Gox so that anything being sold and bought was being bought and sold through them.
For instance anytime someone went to sell, it would be buying, at the price it set, anytime you buy you are still buying at it's set price. Then when it needs to balance itself we see large jumps and drops.

There really is no way around it is there?

Since most market participants trade to maximize profit, what would be the motivation to fight supply and demand?

Fortunately other markets are growing is trade volume and starting to lessen our dependence on there being just one exchange or where price is primarily determined by a single exchange.

Well in this scenario, the price wouldn't move as incoming funds are going to the person creating the layer, and if someone did want to cashout it would still be profit, however they wouldn't be getting the actual value. I think what it would be doing is keeping it low enough so that people will buy in but still low enough so that people don't cashout.

*changed "however" from "because", it makes more sense.
294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / is LPS any good? on: July 22, 2011, 07:05:47 PM
I noticed today on Slashdot:
http://www.spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm
a free miltary live cd being distributed by the DoD.
http://www.spi.dod.mil/docs/LPS-1.2.2_public_deluxe.iso

think they would put backdoors into it?

FYI that is a DoD site AFAIK. xD

dude upgrade! That's what they were trying to tell you.
make sure you make a copy of your wallet.dat just in case.
298  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Americans: your country can no longer make it to space on their own. on: July 22, 2011, 11:52:18 AM
Not true.
Too many people do not seem to realize space programs are being moved to the private sector.
Much easier to espionage citizens and land grab resources through privately held corporations.
