omg let it go!
For all the complaining about direct insults, sometimes it's better just to call someone a c**t and move on. |

I would just pretend walls don't exist.
Wrong thread  are you sure?  I think that's the Schroedinger's Wall thread. |

It is simple. Price next year will reach between $4,000 - $15,000
You would be stupid not to buy right now.
We might be sideways to down for next 2 years atleast until S&P bull ends... but hey what do I know? Coincides with noobs calling for $15k by next year... because we all know noobs lose money.. it will rise when they give up! HORRY Sheet!!! We are gonna have 2 more years of a bullish stock market? Wow? You are suggesting until the 2016 presidential elections? What about the 2014 elections? Sometimes economies are propped up for elections.. but you believe that they can prop the economy for two more years? There's a good chance that they can keep it going until then. I, personally would have thought we would have seen more pain already (though it's not been a bed of roses for sure). The longer they find ways to put it off, the worse it's going to be though. |

Hi guys, I was having a little trouble working out a nice, safe way to get my private keys out of the data.xml for importation back into Mycelium. I think I could have used bitaddress.org but I decided to write something to do it for me. I'm letting it out to the public in case anyone else might find it useful (it also might be interesting to study for other purposes). It must be run in the same directory as the data.xml and it will spit out a list of the public, private and WIF encoded keys to the terminal and will create a webpage with the public and private keys listed on it as QR codes ready for scanning (I would recommend using a browser on the local filesystem to open it and not having it on a live web server (unless you're totally internet disconnected and probably not even then)).
This may be useful for creating a paper backup even. You may want to increase the level of the QR code in that case. Currently set to "L" for low.
Pretty cool stuff  With Mycelium 2.0 we migrate away from using data.xml and store stuff in a sqlite database instead, so there will be a bit of coding to get it out going forward. Yeah, I looked in the dbs first. I'm good with all kinds of SQL so that wouldn't be a problem but really, this is a last-ditch kind-of effort anyway and proper backups is the ideal. And if the keys are ever encrypted, it won't help much (though it might still be possible to provide some interface there). Ah well, it was more an excuse to play with keys and QR codes anyway Hey, if you have another round of hiring, you'll announce it here, right? I almost submitted my CV last time. |

I had to wipe my phone the other day. I did have a full backup of the data dir first though. I have a QR backup of my main Bitcoin account but since I also had a couple of watch-only addresses and I'm sitting at the computer anyway, I'm wondering if/how I can pull it out of the backup. I'm comfortable using SQLite though data.xml looks like a more likely candidate. Anyone know exactly how to pull these things out?Answered previously, here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309895.0Thanks apetersson |

Go into an Enterprise Car Rental center, and ask about paying with/accepting PayPal. Let alone any other internet ePayments service provider. See what looks you get.
You can pay for a car if you book through Hotwire.com. You'll still need a credit card they can charge for extras, of course. Oh wait, what's that?  Though that's only a branded card, I'm sure, it's linked to the paypal account and definitely gives Paypal some leverage in that arena. And if not, I'm sure that's some business Paypal would want to get into anyway. You can use Paypal at Dollar General, Office Depot, I think Lowes and probably several other places. Don't miss the train. Choo choo. |

A few minutes before the rally started nearly all the bids on Bitstamp down to 360 were removed within in a second. Also quite a lot of asks were removed, but far less than bids. I switched over to the trading PC and by then everything was back to normal. Did anyone else catch that? I wonder what that was all about, there were literally only a few dozen coins worth of bids down to 360, basically just a long flat green line (on bitcoinity.org). A bug maybe? But would be a weird coincidence because it happened right before that rally.
About the rally itself: I kinda feel that this was orchestrated by a single entity, probably in order to induce a short squeeze. I doubt very much that this was "organic" buying by people who suddenly all decided to buy in unison. Or maybe I'm wrong and it was caused by a bunch of people buying because of the paypal news, but I doubt it...
I followed the rally early on and decided @ about $415 that someone was trying to squeeze those 11000 shorts out. So I went "picking up pennies in front of the steamroller" - I bought into the askwalls, then set up my own askwalls at a slighty higher price. Worked out well, but I would have been in trouble if the price had reversed suddenly. Bids were very thin, so I wouldn't have been able to sell the coins back at the price I bought them at. Was probably not a good idea, even though I made some profit.
Edit: I'm still all in fiat, and comfortably so. Still bearish in the midterm, and think that the paypal news is overvalued (although it's certainly good news, for the long term).
Chartbuddy didn't catch it so it would have to have been less than a minute. |

As happy as i am that BFL is fucked it isn't good for Bitcoin. Just imagine the news and how people react to it. Another "bitcoin company" who screwed everyone over. More ammo for the haters how Bitcoin is evil.
No, like when Slik Road was taken down, it is good when what are generally* considered "illegitimate elements" are removed from the ecosystem. *Personal opinions of Silk Road may vary. |

Adam, any reason you are deleting random ChartBuddy posts? Just curious.
thread manipulation... Right-o. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't invalid images as the bitcointalk image proxy sometimes gives that even when an image is valid and it goes away after a couple of minutes. |

Has anyone else here ever tried to buy something on Alibada? All I ever get is a list of wholesalers.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe they're going to go legit. |

Finally we got some cheap coins!
you've already bought ? I am going to wait a couple of weeks more, hopefully we will see $100-250  Bottom is today. Once alibaba's ipo is done and quick profit is made, big money is going to come back into bitcoin. This is absurd. I expect max. 0,0001% from all Bitcoin holders are shuffling their money between BTC and Alibaba stocks. There is no correlation at all. Ethereum/ppc/ripple is more likely. But i think Bitcoin is mainly going down because people are selling. But thatīs just a theory. yes, Alibaba explanation is utter shit... a took a look at the Bitcoin magazine article and this is what I saw in the comment section:    |

Ah well, if that is the case so be it... democracy in action, as in an actual real choice, that would lead to actual something of meaning happening in life/society, not just an illusion, so if they choose no, then so be it... if they choose yes... then war I mean so be it too. It is good to see some actual democracy in action, that has actual real world ramifications. I said before and I will say it again... my brain tells me the vote will be NO, but my heart and my gut is not so sure though... either way I think it is going to be close. Will Scotland cut their noose loose? not long to find out now! The rest of the Union should have a say too. It's all very well for Scotland to vote but what if the rest of the union doesn't want them? |

Yeah, I noticed that as well after I posted it It was a combination with GIMP. I did the "buy" in inkscape because I don't know how to do the hollow text in Gimp. Cropping and insertion of bitcoin address was done in Gimp. Both great programs. Something along the lines of text-to-selection, grow selection, fill selection. sounds cumbersome. easier to do the qr-code-insertion in inkscape as well if use of a single tool is the goal, I'd say. Not really. I've mostly used it for userbars where you want to get the font just right and Inkscape wouldn't do that well (don't get me wrong, I think Inkscape's great). The QR code is already a bitmap too so no complexity there. |
