It's generally a bad idea to publicly humiliate your customers, but if you must, you should make sure that a) they've actually done something wrong, and b) you're positive your other customers feel the same way as you.

Why did I download so much Blick-182 when I can only stand like 5 of their songs?

Somehow someone at work managed to get this on their PC, pretty brutal malware.
Luckily I automatically back my computers up every night. If it wasn't for that I'd be out a lot of encrypted data.
Backups, people, backups!!
If it's automatic, then that likely means your hard drive is always connected. It scans for and encrypts files on external and network drives, too. |

Yeah I've heard about it.
If you get infected with that you're pretty much f*****..
This is the Internet, not the 6pm news. If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, don't. The asterisks aren't fooling anyone. |

Title pretty much says it all. Is there a way to scan a QR code containing a private key, and add that address do your wallet?

If Bitcoin uses the number of preceding zeroes in a block (000000000000000a14da313e33fe2012b95c82ae03c58739888a440a845642f3) to set the difficulty, how is it possible for the difficulty to double or triple? Wouldn't it need to get 16 times harder because of an extra zero?

Expanded on a few hints, and moved all the hints from the thread into the OP.

What hash algo is it?
What hash algo is it?
I don't know. I've tried md5, sha1, sha2 and base64. It's sha256: - md5 is 32 characters - sha1 is 40 characters - sha2 is not one algorithm, but a series of them (including sha256) - base64 is not a hash (the opposite, actually), and it has A-Z, a-z, 0-9, whereas most hashes only have a-f, 0-9 |

BTC backbone broken
People like you are the people who prevent good things from lasting for a long time. Sure, Silk Road was one of the first major acceptors of bitcoin, but it's far from the only or the most important. Can you imagine if everyone renounced their US citizenship (sold out) as soon as George Washington (first "major" president) died? |

The good news is that if you have had700k, you must have at least a bitcoin or two.

And how can we figure it out?
Do we have to try everything?
It's a libertarian-ish quote |

my btc address: 1JiQ1CpKMrfaqnRYpnxUjT9y3hNCf29WZf c1271518875164d4fdf824bff61dcdc59e56ecd2967e8620db86e4acfbf62e1b is the hashrate distribution between the major bitcoin mining pools.
I hope to god you're joking about all this. |

And here are the payouts:  0.59 BTC paid out this week, at today's rate thats $106. I've not tracked stats for the scheme every week but the payouts must add up to the thousands now! Spend (or save!) wisely. Can anyone recommend a bitcoin client that will let me make these payouts in bulk? Something that would take CSV or Tab delimited values would be really convenient for me. Aww, so close yet again :/ |

If anyone can guess what text hashes to the following (SHA256), they will win 0.05 BTC
c1271518875164d4fdf824bff61dcdc59e56ecd2967e8620db86e4acfbf62e1b
Clues:
- The text is available on the Internet
- It's a proper sentence, with capitalization and punctuation
- It's a quote from a conservative leader
- The quote is _not_ in quotation marks
Good luck. If nobody has guessed it in a few days, I'll post the answer.
EDIT: I forgot which quote I used, fixed the clues 11:52 AM EST 2013-10-23
The answer is:
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
The quote is by Dwight Eisenhower.

What are you going to do with your riches if when BTC hits $500,000,000?  |

My left-right looks about right, but it seems I'm frighteningly authoritarian compared to what I thought.  |

I've been messing around with vanitygen lately, and I can't help but wonder: How does it know where "100%" is? If it's trying random addresses, how does it know that after a certain number, there's a 100% chance that it will find the address you want?
It doesn't of course. Haven't used vanitygen in a while, and think it gives out a probability of 50% to start with? if it guesses at a rate of X/second and the probability of success of each guess is Y, the chance of success in the next second is 1-(1-Y)**X. example: I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10,000. You have 10,000 guesses per minute. (blah blah, assume i get to choose new number after each guess) The chance you hit in the next minute is 1-(1-0.0001)^10000 = 63.21%. If you want the 50% mark, solve as ln(.5)/ln(.9999) = 6931.125 guesses. Since you guess at 10,000 per minute, the 50% mark is in 6931.125/10,000 minutes or 41.59 seconds And that is what vanitygen puts out, 50% chance in the next 41.6 seconds. If it still acts the same way, once 41.59 seconds goes by, it says 75% chance in the next 41.59 seconds, but it really means 75% chance in 83.17 seconds from when you started. Right, I didn't think about that. Must go from 75 to 93.75 to 96.875 to 98.4375, and so on. |
