Just say they did start selling off large amounts at a time. How would that affect the market?
If they sell it all at one time then some of my "hail mary" buy orders will trigger. Then the price would bounce back. I hope they do sell it all at once - but they won't. As discussed many, many times the FBI has a protocol for cashing in the stuff they take - they auction the stuff off. They will eventually auction the BTC off. |

Sources have disclosed that the Chinese and US governments have entered an agreement whereby they work to filter out and block all cryptocurrency network traffic. Look it up. It's been confirmed via sources.
Link or it did not happen. His post without links is just as credible as a post with links to the type of reporting his satire is pointing at. True, even with a link it probably did not happen. With no link for sure it did not happen. |

This is all such a shame. Projects was one of my best customers. I loaned him a lot of BTC over the years and he always paid me back. I closed up my lending business a while back (too many scammers to ever make a profit) so I did not lose anything in this case.

First FUD lie found in the article: In related news, the millions of dollars in bitcoin seized by the FBI from Ross Ulbricht and the first Silk Road, currently stored in a set of online wallets, appears to be on the move. A source in the U.S. Justice Department said that “authorities” have access to the Ulbricht’s bitcoin cache and may be selling it off for less volatile currencies in the next few weeks. Ulbright has given the U.S. government the private keys to the bitcoins.
“The reason for selling is that the Government has lost faith in the value of bitcoin and does not want to deal with the volatility of the currency,” the source said. The wallets are publicly visible here and here. The two FBI Bitcoin addresses linked to in the article show no movement: https://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX?filter=1https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH?filter=1At least come up with a lie that cannot be so easily checked! |

One other thing you can check for the heck of it:
Wallet Home -> Account Settings -> Continue -> (enter wallet main password) -> Continue -> Debugging -> Integrity Check -> Run
I expect it will probably just verify your wallet and be done but you never know...
|
|
|
|

That message verifies which proves that you do in fact own and control that address, which means your wallet does in fact contain the private key that was used to create the public key and Bitcoin address.
We could verify all the other addresses but I expect that you do have the private keys for all of them.
So, we have to wait for piuk to respond. Unless someone else has any other ideas?

The message does not verify but I am worried about how you did it because you said you clicked it three times. However, the fact it worked at all or appeared to work proves that you probably do have the private keys.
Select the same Bitcoin address (1KEC5Qh36YtXDMCtVS8AUgcvVEfDrw4aCC ), enter the text "This is a test message" without the quotes and then sign it once. Give me the giberish code that is produced and I will check it for you.

Do you really have the private keys for these addresses?
Please test this by attempting to sign a message with one of them, preferably the last one (Actions drop down, sign message).
Tell us what happens when you try to sign a message.

Can you post or PM me the Bitcoin address you were sending the BTC to and/or the address you were sending from, the date and the amount.
Sorry to say it but if there is a transaction in the blockchain for the amount you sent then they are gone.

I encourage you to provide an example with a more advanced cryptographic hashing algorithm.
SHA 256, twice for good measure. Advanced cryptographic hashing functions are designed so that if you change one single bit in the input a majority of the bits are changed in the output. They are designed this way on purpose so that the attack you are proposing does not work. |

Thats interesting indeed
Thats interesting...
You did get your post count up (to 2) with these two jewels... BTC China's pre-paid card deposit option would eventually be banned by the chinese gov.
It seems inevitable that BTC China is doomed.
Is that you mayax? Can someone please post a set of links helping people understand this china issue. Friends and myself all thought China would be dropping BTC and that volumes traded would decrease... and this would drop the prices but today they are still booming.
I have done some trading between Alt coins on BTCE but i mainly just put my wages into BTC in hope to help me pay off my mortgage that lil bit faster. I would hate to have all those months of savings lost due to my lack of knowledge regarding china.
I have no idea where the price is heading in the short term and anyone who is honest will tell you the same. I believe in Bitcoin so I expect that over time the general trend will be up (with or without China and India) with lots of ups and downs along the way. There is only one thing we know for sure: mayax is full of shit. |

It looks like I cannot totally escape the alt noise  |
|
|
|
Couldn't you just not go in the alt coins section instead?
Because I do not want all the alt noise in my list when I click "Show unread posts since last visit" I now have a nice clean list with no alt noise in it and I can easily browse through and see if there are any interesting threads! |

There are 2256 private key possibilities -- which is what's relevant. I'm not claiming successful collision is likely.
2 160 is the correct number as you only need for the address to collide in order to move/spend the coins. Any of the 2 96 key pairs that hash to a given address will do. There have been dozens and dozens of threads on this subject (address collision). If you pay your miners on address hits then you will never pay them. If you pay your miners on being "close" to an address that has coins then you are paying them for worthless "close but no cigar" addresses. Darn, my attempt to kill this thread has failed |

There are 2160 possible Bitcoin addresses.

As far as I can tell from the posts up thread the blockchain.info Shared Send system is a basic implementation of the centralized version of the proposal.
It's actually a plain mixing service that was implemented a long time ago, way before CoinJoin was proposed. They have a separate CoinJoin style transaction option that does use CoinJoin, but as far as I know, requires you to use a blockchain.info wallet, since CoinJoin has special nonstandard transactions. Fees are different, too, with 0.5% for Send-Shared, and a standard 0.0001BTC transaction fee for CoinJoin (with multiple mixes suggested, each one costing an extra 0.0001BTC) Thanks for the info. I did not realize the two were different. |
