I HIGHLY doubt brain wallet destroys your change

It has a UI bug that causes exorbitant transaction fees to be paid out instead of sending change back to the origin address:

Bottom line if you are going to construct raw transactions you'd better know what you are doing!

mbtc is the biggest fail ever. I hate that "don't panic" sign on bitcoinity. Thank goodness non of the other sites adopted it.

This is a good idea. Simply use an address as your password, they are random and secure. Plus you can keep it in a list or address book and no one would think it's a password.

You can pretty much use it for any kind of password, like WiFi networks

That's a good idea. Buy a couple routers, keep them in the boxes but use the macs as your password. It'll be in clear site but no one would ever guess. Stuff like this will help people use secure passwords and not forget them.

During a fire, run out with a backup usb and your routers.

You could use the bar code on your underwear. That way you always have your password with you.

The following reservations have expired:
E44 – I’ve Seen Better Days 1:04:00
E32 – Sneak’s Law and Bitcoins Next 2... 1:17:54
E31 – The Regulatory Question 59:29
E17 – Context and Community 1:08:46

I've given a 48 hour grace period to extend reservations and they've not been reclaimed.
I'll make these episodes available again in several single postings, which will look like this:

Quote

Episode available for reservation:
E00 – Episode Title 1:01:01

Whoever answers that specific post first, quoting all of the above, will hold the new reservation for that episode.
New reservations will be due until 2013-21-31, as described above.

This last sentence is confusing. If someone manages to reserve an ep from one of the four episodes above he has only 1 or 2 days to complete that ep??

You guys should band together and launch a rebellion!

Too bad it's on army in which soldiers only fight for four hours after which they change sides

The 4 hour army! The 5 post army!

You guys should band together and launch a rebellion!

The question is not whether governments will allow a $X bitcoin economy, the question is whether Bitcoin will allow oversized governments to exist and retain the kind of power they currently do.

....and we have the first jap-anime inclined fool chiming in with deluded sense of 'power' they hold.

Why don't you go hang in chinese and russian government custody with the weaboo kiddy snowden and find out life doesn't work out like a shounen manga/comic?

REALISTIC discussions.

I don't think we can have any sort of civilized discussion if you are going to insult people.

You want to gamble with your grandmother's savings? Why else would you want to convince her about btc!

So it looks like this is a software thing. reaper uses much more system ram than cgiminer.

Let's highlight that for ya bud

RAM - $50 - 4 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM

Litecoin Mining Rig Build Guide – 4x GPU Mining Rig

So, how many vidya cards you running again?

need a gig plus ram per card, for the lower cards. the newer stuff need's more!

Who is this post aimed at? DrG said you need 12-16GB for 9 cards. Actually I haven't mined before so I'd appreciate some clarity in this regard.

Quote from: DrG on December 18, 2013, 08:50:59 AM

4GB of system RAM? Mixed cards?

You might be able to get the cards to mine, but it will not be optimal.

You should have 12-16GB with that many cards onboard.

Not according to this guide:

So who's right?

Memorize a simple password in your head 1234BitcoinEater, then memorize the hashing procedure, e.g. SHA256(HEXTOBIN()) then use it as your password.

If you have multiple passwords you could combine multiple one way hashing algorithms and add 1 to the end of your memorized password, then every time you need a new one simply add 1 to it and hash the same way to get a completely different password.

Here's another hare brained scheme for you guys to consider:

- Take out your camera and take a picture.

- Make a hundred billion copies of that picture and stick it everywhere. In USB sticks, DVDs, memory cards. Throw them around the house. Make sure a few tiny memory cards end up behind the sofa like loose change. Even wear one as an amulet around your neck.

- Use the sha256sum of the picture as your password. Very easy to do on *nix

Code:

sha256sum my_not_so_secret_pic.png

- And if you need multiple passwords just append a number:

Code:

echo "1" | cat - my_not_so_secret_pic.png | sha256sum

@OP we are not Windows users or this would all be easy for us to explain to you. On Linux we use the command line. So with that said see this thread for Windows command line instructions.

If you can't do the above then wait for another Windows user to chime in with step by step instructions.

And BTW the bitcoin .asc files are NOT detached signatures. They actually signatures of the sha256sums not the .exe file itself.

I think it's way more likely that the NSA is behind bitcoin rather than it starting a witch hunt against it.

Also, we don't need to come up with ludicrous ideas for a sub-500 price. Another China sell-off caused by policy changes and were are easily there again.

Yeah or a US sell off caused by yet another FinCen "guidance"

What do you guys think about this thread:

Do you feel like pushy evangelists?

The price of bitcoin is going to reach 40K next year because a megalomaniac is buying a million bitcoins at $600 and selling them to a million people at $650 so that they can trade them worthless doge coins to get his bitcoins back at a profit. Then he is going to crash the market and buy all the cheap bitcoins before any of you get a chance to buy any.

Oh I see so you are a troll? Looks like we are the patsies taking you seriously.

far too simplistic a rendering of a country with over 1000 languages, dude...

China might be having 1,000 ethnic groups and each will be speaking a language of its own... but only one group (Han) holds the power. The other groups are marginalized (Tibetans, Mongols.etc).

Ah yes we can't have a discussion about China without bringing up that stick westerners use to beat China with - Tibet!

Thanks for the info Abdussamad, but I'm still struggling.

I have gpg4win installed (kleopatra)

I downloaded the Sha256sum.asc file from your link, I then right click it and select "verify" but it just says " no signature found"
Totally confused Undecided

Before verifying, you need to download and import
Gavin's public GPG key (ID 0x1FC730C1) into your computer. I'm not familiar with the exact steps to follow in kleopatra but it shouldn't be too complicated.

Yeah you can find the sigs on the bitcoin.org page I linked above.
