The point IMO is that he dosen't have the Chips. He was lying. I'm also happy to have gotta out before this mess. I know someone that invested something in the 20k€ range into this, i'm afraid for him.
On my side i'm happy to have detected the "i broke my phone" "i did a car incident" "the chips are there but i can't show you" as red alerts... I'm sorry for the others.
3402  Economy / Economics / Re: US Gov may mint a 1 Trillion dollar coin out of thin air - Hiperinflation? on: January 08, 2013, 01:23:25 PM
Um guys the fed has "printed" ~$2T out of thin air in the last five years (Fed's balance sheet increased from ~$800B to $2.9T).  If we include the Fed's off balance sheet (magical money they print out of nowhere and lend to foreign central banks so for some reason it doesn't count on the "official" books) it is closer to a ~$4T expansion.
The USD monetary base went from less than 1T$ to 3T$ or I misunderstood what you wrote? Why the prices didn't bumped 3 times?
3403  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why hasn't any of those nefarious regimes detonated a nuke yet? on: January 08, 2013, 06:51:32 AM
Why should a terrorist blow a nuke in the US?
Because you know, they did nothing on 11/9 and Bin Laden did not took responsibilities for that.

I'm sorry, you are wrong. FAQ as I recall it:
Q: Will you mine with the devices we pre ordered with our money?
BFL: No, we are hardware guys, we really don't care.

Anyway Avalon will deliver, they have a small batch and they will run to get the huge number of orders if they come first.

This reminds me of dont know how many tons of gold lost with a single ship a couple of months ago... Impossible to be true.
3406  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: [ROUND 1] Access my BrainWallet and take the POT in only 20 Questions... on: January 06, 2013, 08:43:23 PM
You can download the wikipedian database and try every single subject, it should take less than 5 minutes. So this really is only a game, and certainly not a good way of having a brain wallet (Wikipedia or not).
Have fun! Smiley
3407  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: blockchain.info you are the best :D on: January 03, 2013, 09:58:50 PM
I would have never tought to ask this here but hey why not... How do you find NDB to be? What kind of query/second can you handle? Are you keeping the whole database on ram or indexes only? I was always interested in it but always ended up with other solutions!

3409  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: BTCFPGA announces hosted ASIC plans... what does this portend? on: January 02, 2013, 08:50:23 PM
As of now I have more trust into BFL rather than BTCFPGA.
That should say a lot given my radical change of view about Tom.
3410  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Paid for ASIC hosting in the US to avoid EU import VAT. on: January 02, 2013, 08:47:35 PM
The point on using a datacenter is that you don't have to trust a member of this community with your hardware, but the staff of the datacenter.
Much better IMO.
3411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Public Notice: Bitcoincentral.com on: December 27, 2012, 01:26:41 PM
For 1000$ i would have bought it. (i mean, if i was bitcoin-central).
However i have no idea of the size of your business et all. Just, i typed that domain in the address bar when i first registered at your exchange. Fortunately it was parked and not activelly tryng to scam me, because most probably they would at least have my ID by now.

Well the next hint isn't due for a while so you probably still have time.

Can we know the exact length of the string and how many times was the password repeated?
3413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Solve a riddle, guess a 4 char password and add 10 BTC to your xmas stocking! on: December 26, 2012, 12:02:07 PM
Oh really - then why hasn't this been cracked already?

We have the 15 millions permutations of the possible key, correct? We also have stuff that runs 10k tests per second.

I don't really understand why this wasn't cracked already. I must be missing something.

Lol, and i tought that BASH wasn't my bottleneck Cheesy

Has anyone tried to use c to create the dictionary?
i do it in java with JNI mixed.
What's your speed? It would take me something like 1 day to write the 14 million combinations there are...

I was using a production server with 32 AMD CPU to do this.. however i had to stop:

last pid:  6144;  load averages: 72.31, 37.84, 24.09

I was DDOSing my own website Cheesy

Anyway i really enjoyed what i learned!

Here is a pastebin to some (stupid but working) code if you want to use it:

I would like to get into this but i'm GPG ignorant to the point that i dont ven know what command to launch to verify if a guessed password will open it. I think to have understood that he used the private key he posted to encrypt the secret, but how did he encrypt the private key?
:/
3419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Brainwallet recovery problem on: December 24, 2012, 11:09:29 AM
Load the page, yank the ethernet cord (or disable wireless), then use it.  Everything is done client side in javascript, and I don't see any network code that could potentially upload it, but disconnecting will make sure.

no, it won't. javascript can use cookies or LocalStorage.


I would include that with my "clear the cache" step, but thanks for clarifying for those who don't know such things.

Really, I agree it's not recommended for nontechnical users, but it looks like it can be safely used if you know what you are doing.
You will not clear your Flash Player cache with that step.

Oooopppsssss!

China is too big and powerful for the US to attack them. Not to mention that US depends financially on China buying US debts and US buying Chinese goods.
US could simply print as much money as needed to repay their own debt.

Isn't that funny?
