2801  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Number of BTC Addresses in use now on: November 10, 2014, 06:42:29 PM
Can anyone tell me that out of 2^160 addresses possible, how many BTC addresses have been used atleast once. Till today, I might have surely used a minimum of 150 addresses.

Maybe it helps you a bit:

https://blockchain.info/charts/n-unique-addresses?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

This is probably more of what you are asking for (I think the one above is showing the number of unique addresses seen per day):
http://bitcoinrichlist.com/charts/bitcoin-distribution-by-address?atblock=320000

I don't believe either of these show the total number of addresses that have *ever* had a balance. So an address that had 1 bitcoin 2 years ago, but zero now wouldn't be counted here.  You could calculate that of course by parsing the blockchain.  (It is difficult to tell for sure whether the "0" in the "Bitcoin Balance" is inclusive or not).

NOBODY IN THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BITCOIN ANYWAY. WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING?

WE HAVE TO YELL BECAUSE OTHERWISE I CAN'T HEAR YOU THROUGH THE 'SERIES OF TUBES' THAT MAKE UP THE INTERNET.
2803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Only 900 Nodes.. on: November 10, 2014, 06:25:52 PM

7000 nodes is a big or a small amount? A few month ago was more or less full nodes? Tongue

Slow and steady decline -
http://www.coinbuzz.com/2014/04/28/bitnodes-io-indicates-60-day-decline-bitcoin-nodes/

Avg 9500 early this year and 7800 avg 6 months ago.
Maybe BTC protocol should introduce something similar to PoS to encourage people to have full node opened? Tongue

Go ahead, let us know when the client fork is ready, fork the blockchain and we'll see who is ready to switch to PoS.

Check the same thing at blockr.io (or another block explorer).  Blockchain.info is a web site and it often has bugs although this time it just seems like it hadn't confirmed yet.

Look under the transactions tab:

We're they ever?Huh

It’s official. Coindesk is no longer the Voice of Digital Currency

Dear Coindesk,

First, let me say I am extremely angry right now, I am so angry with your publication that I want to use the F word, but my sister tells me it turns people off when reading things online, so I will refrain. My team has busted their bums since I quit consulting with CoinTerra, without my paycheck, we have zero income and we are hustling to compete with companies that were funded with over $240 million alone this year. We wanted everything to be perfect on our new website for our official launch, but you guys screwed up one too many times and I respect the actual hardworking people of the bitcoin community too much to stay quiet and you are a clear and present danger to bitcoin.

You are are forcing me to change my plans because right now you deserve to be shut down

Sorry guys, but there are lots of charts and graphs you need to see. https://ihb.io/2014-11-09/news/official-coindesk-longer-voice-digital-currency-13393

But sidechains, they will not survive - better technology is already here.


What is this technology?

From Vlad's comment, I'm not sure if he is as familar with them as he could be.  2 way pegged sidechains can be as secure as the main chain and can implement just about any technology off the main chain.

You can read more here, this is somewhat technical:
http://www.blockstream.com/sidechains.pdf

They enable people to implement many features that might be risky on the main chain while leveraging bitcoin's infrastructure in ways an altcoin can't.

Check out the paper's authors.

There are other threads discussing this, so I don't want to derail this thread with a side topic, but my only point is that from the financial, usage, and tech sides there are many things that can impact fiat price and consequently long term distribution.
2808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me make bitcoin go viral on: November 08, 2014, 11:52:36 AM
I'm confused. Where do the tippers get the bitcoins to tip if the coin is not evenly distributed?

Where do people get Euros (or dollars or ...) if Euros are not "evenly distributed"? 

2809  Other / Meta / Re: love the way moderators just delete technical requests, no explanation, nada on: November 08, 2014, 11:47:44 AM
Looks like they moved it for you since you didnt take the time to put it in the correct section for mining support.
2810  Economy / Economics / Re: Distribution of bitcoin wealth by owner on: November 08, 2014, 12:34:29 AM
...
Edit:  Coinbase does mostly OTC transactions from what I've read.  It's a pretty common practice.

Those were nice posts.

I'll just add that your scenarios also only account for the financial events that should hit in the next few months (ETFs etc).  Hopefully.  Sidechains (will be big) and other technical improvements will increase the usability scenarios on the non financial side.

If (when?) these confluence of events begin to hit, not to mention now that we are 18 months from the next halving, it should impact price significantly.  No guarantees of course, but the scenarios out there hav tremendous upside.
2811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monsanto & Bitcoin Argentina - Together ? on: November 07, 2014, 02:34:43 PM
Other sponsors:
CitiBank
Price Waterhouse Cooper
KPMG


It appears that the Argentina Chamber of Commerce is having a Member to Member event to introduce members to each other, the Bitcoin portion being an "introduction to Bitcoin" in the area of finance, IT, marketing, etc.

Far from OP's claim that Monsanto is sponsoring Bitcoin Argentina.

Yep. I know what a shock it is that someone would grossly exaggerate at these forums, but Elwar for the win!

Besides, for the same reasons no one can stop me from using bitcoin, no one can stop Monsanto from using it also. Fair does not mean that the wicked are punished. 

And the more usage the better - even if some people don't agree with some of the others who are using it.  Tools are neutral and can be used for good or evil.


2812  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin core not responding on: November 07, 2014, 11:52:58 AM
Does the bitcoin log show anything (e.g. where it is getting hung up)?  Did you give it much time to finish? (e.g. if it was a few minutes it could have been doing the block database verify).

(debug.log is in here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory)

2813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin-Qt taking ages to load on: November 07, 2014, 11:49:58 AM
In all likelihood it is checking the block database to ensure it is not damaged (intentionally or unintentionally).

You can add "checklevel=1" in bitcoin.conf
BUT that is usually not recommended because you won't know if the block database has been corrupted.

You could check the debug log and see if that gives you any idea as to the issue if it isn't as above, but I bet it is the database check.
2814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify a bitcointard on: November 06, 2014, 05:14:47 PM
Feel free to continue the list.

Comes up with terms like bitcointard.

This. And,

Starts a thread like this.
2815  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Error on: November 06, 2014, 03:22:41 PM
Is this mining related?  If so, it should probably be in here:
Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Mining > Mining support

Without more information it is hard to know what you are even asking about.

 However, take a look at these, they mention a similar:

DeathAndTaxes vanished from here almost exactly a month ago (Oct 7).  Anyone know what is up?

Bitsimple is still around.  Just curious if he is okay.
2819  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Paper Wallet Secure???? on: November 05, 2014, 04:55:09 PM
Download the website, and open it offline on a disconnected computer.

As Dabs said, see here:
https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org


Use it offline, quit your browser after using it, and probably restart the computer prior to going back online to be safer.  (Or use one that is never online)

"Trustworthy, honest news source:  Where did CNN go wrong?"

"Virtual currency is the future, there's no doubt about that"

Bitcoin is just a step along the way according to them.

They discuss where bitcoin may have gone wrong (quite interesting actually) :
