onion.to is a proxy for onion websites...
That's what makes it so funny. |

5 Headshots and still no kill....  I tought I get unlucky in Battlefield 3.... Now you know why I laugh when people call these games "realistic". The brain (which is what you're trying to hit) is relatively small compared to the rest of the head, and is well-protected by the skull, which has an annoying tendency to harmlessly deflect bullets which strike at an angle. A headshot has to be delivered very precisely to result in an instant kill. Many suicide attempters find that out the hard way. |

If you dont have TOR, simple use proxy services to access onion websites

Use the SI-system...
You mean the Système International system? |

The volume is in satoshis, though I'm not sure what happened to the price. 13 billion dollars per satoshi? For bonus fun, check out the volume in currency: it's in the quintillions of dollars! At least Mt. Gox no longer has the greatest market share.  |

Liberty, broadly speaking, is the freedom to do as one pleases so long as one doesn't violate anyone else's right to do likewise. Liberacy, as I understand it (which is not very well, as the term is so infrequently used as to not have a clear definition), is a system of government more commonly known as a night-watchman state, in which the government's sole function is to provide police and military protection and arbitrate disputes. |

I found it fishy considering it happened one minute after installing the client and it hasn't happened since.
Is it particularly rare or am I "unlucky?"
Don't worry, it'll happen again eventually. Or do worry, if you think having your IP address associated with that transaction instead of one the thousands of other Bitcoin users is "unlucky" rather than "lucky". In that case, run Bitcoin over Tor, and then it won't happen again. |

I think it would be more fun if they had a totally improvised setup without buying hardware specifically made for mining. Is that realistic anymore, if one of them (unscrupulous computer repair guy) had access to computer parts, cpus, graphics cards, etc? Or do you really have to have hardware specifically made for mining to get any kind of decent rate of return?
The latter. Sorry. Later in the story, thanks to what I'll just call divine intervention, I want them to have a period of time when they get a huge rate of return, well beyond what probability would dictate. I don't fully understand how the bitcoin process works but I know some of it is luck. If the luck were taken out...if they ALWAYS hit (for lack of a better word), what is the fastest rate the coins could be generated. Remember, limited hardware but the luck factor is removed in their favor for a period of time. Any element of the process that is due to chance they always hit on the first try. I realize I don't know enough maybe even to be asking this question correctly but hopefully you get the idea.
BTC25 every 10 minutes. Much faster rates are possible temporarily, but the mining difficulty adjusts periodically to ensure this rate is maintained, on average. Of course, your characters won't achieve anywhere near this, unless your story is about your characters being accused of totally breaking Bitcoin's security and completely destroying the Bitcoin economy overnight, because such a thing happening by chance stretches credulity beyond the extent of the visible universe. "Merely" mining several times what their hardware would normally be capable of is more plausible (especially since it actually happens from time to time). |

Everybody running the Bitcoin software relays everybody's transactions to and from everybody else. What, you thought "peer-to-peer" was just some kind of marketing hype?

I was wondering about this as well. The default is due for tomorrow.
You're thinking of the shutdown. The debt ceiling will be hit in mid-October, the government will run out of cash a week or two later, but won't technically default until the 31st of October, because that's when the interest on the Treasury bonds is due (some say the government will manage to scrape together enough cash to make the payment and then default on the next interest payment on the 15th of November, but that would require an uncharacteristic degree of competence on the government's part). If the government hasn't raised the debt ceiling by then, reality will ensue. |

Alright, it seems your loophole is narrow, but acceptable. Probably.

I use to think Sublime was the biggest cunt on this forum until I recently when I started noticing just how many fucking pricks there are on this forum.
Well, there's your answer. Obviously, if the pricks weren't fucking, the cunts would be smaller. |

It doesn't make you chose between national and international authority. "Military action that defies international law" is a subset of military action in general, so if you feel military action is never justified under any circumstances, then you answer "Strongly Disagree". It's not a hard question.

Bitcoind could return "HTTP 200: I don't give info about someone else transactions" at least.
No, it couldn't. HTTP 200 means "Your request is valid and I was able to process it correctly, so here's the data you asked for." HTTP 500 is the correct response when the server is unable to carry out your request. What do you expect it to do? Fail to carry out the request and then not give an error?  |

This scheme can easily be shown to be bogus just by calculating how much entropy each step adds to the "key": 1. Add/Subtract x to each number (e.g. +5)
Zero. x can be trivially derived by subtracting 5 mod 10 from the first digit of the obfuscated private key (since the first digit of the private key is known to be 5). 2. Shift characters along x places (e.g. +7)
Although it may appear at first glance that all values of x from 0 to 52 are equally likely, we know that only transpositions that put a number at the start are valid, and on average, there will be 9 possibilities. log2(9) 3. Take a memorable name and swop first with last letter and add symbol to the first letter. So if your cat is called fluffy, you could replace every "F" with "y$". You could mix it up by having a personal rule to alternate the symbol with case, so F->y$ and f->y#
We only need to guess the first letter, since we know what the last letter is - it's the one with the symbol after it. log2(52) 4. Replace a number with a line break (e.g. 4).
log2(10) 5. Transpose lines (e.g. 3 and 2)
log2(3) Which gives us a grand total of log2(9) + log2(52) + log2(10) + log2(3) = 13.8 bits of entropy. Which is less than a password consisting of 3 lowercase letters. It can be bruteforced with a pencil and paper in only a few days! Please leave designing cryptosystems to the experts, okay? EDIT: Typo |

You will then ask...
"Your honor who do you represent here today?"
He will reply:
"The State of California."
No he won't. He'll say he represents the court. Judges represent the judiciary, which is a separate entity from the rest of the government precisely to avoid this kind of conflict of interest. |

The deal is very simple, really:
Step 1: Realise how "unfair" it is that early adopters of Bitcoin made more money than you.
Step 2: Forget that Bitcoin's rise in value is due to the fact that it's an amazing innovation the likes of which the world has never seen, and create a clone of it that doesn't innovate in any way and everyone's seen a million times before.
Step 3: Convince suckers to buy your clonecoin. Profit!
