So we deposit bitcoins, you buy somthing else with those bitcoins, and when we withdraw you sell that somthing else and pay us bitcoins?

But that would only be worth doing if both Bitcoin and the thing you buy with our bitcoins don't change their relative price between deposit and withdraw...


And if we withdraw in whatever is being used to store the value instead of Bitcoin we would likely be loosing money since most things that aren't cryptocurrencies have been devaluating in relation to Bitcoin for many years already...




Is a deposit with you a bet against Bitcoin?

I have no idea if that is technically possible, but could a lightweight bitcoin client be integrated in a mastercard chip?
I'm not 100% sure, but i think all that is needed is private key storage and transaction signing (and perhaps public key generation if you wanna check your balance on some third-party machine).

Vcs sabem muito bem que os registros dos eventos não estão intactos; portanto, faz mais sentido interpretar o pedido de provas para a minha afirmação envolvendo coisas que eu vi e a conclusão que eu cheguei como tendo o foco em aspectos que teriam mais chance de se ter provas apresentáveis (ou que pelo menos vcs não tenham conhecimento sobre a possibilidade ou impossibilidade de se ter tais provas).

tamos fudido isso sim

ThiagoCMC = ladrão
leandro = ladrão

fim dos bits
Pelo que eu vi até agora, quem tentou roubar algo de alguém foi o rodrigo. O Thiago no máximo não agiu profissionalmente na sua posição de moderador a não geriu bem a sua imagem enquanto era falsamente acusado pela pessoa que estava tentando tirar vantagem dele (e depois um outro cara que caiu de gaiato).


edit: ah, e eu não estou acompanhando muito a situação com o Leandro, mas pelo pouco que eu li, ele parece apenas ser culpado de negligencia com a segurança do site e de não ser rico o suficiente pra compensar os clientes em BTC.

tiago tiago, vc pode provar oque esta dizendo? 
rudrigorc2, provar que as coisas que eu vi me levaram a chegar nessa conclusão? Não posso, eu não estava usando um aparelho de eletroencefalograma nem nda do tipo pra demonstrar a sequencia de reações eletroquímicas no meu cérebro que resultou nessa conclusão.

386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Any reasons i shouldn't move all my Bitcoin savings into a single address? on: April 04, 2013, 05:30:09 AM
I don't got much (well not as much as most people that mention how much they got), but i've been thinking, perhaps it might be a good idea to just create a new address and put all those little fractions in a single address with a fee-less transaction (i don't plan on touching that money anytime soon so waiting a few days for the transaction to get thru wouldn't be an issue for me) now while it is still possible to transfer small values without paying for the transfer than to forget about it and some point in the future endup with unspendable money 'cause of the rise of fee price and requirement.


Can anyone think of a reason i shouldn't do this?
387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need to recover my sister coins from old official client on: April 04, 2013, 03:12:16 AM
Try starting the client with the -rescan commanline option perhaps?
388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Do I need to make new backups? on: April 03, 2013, 09:55:46 AM
You only ever need to back-up your wallet once. The easiest way is to use "dumpprivkey" and print out the privkeys for the accounts in your wallet.

No matter whatever happens you can download and install a new client and them import your privkeys and have your money back (unless someone hacked your wallet and took your coins).

If you're not going to be using your wallet for a while, dump the privkeys and remove the client from your computer entirely, then import the privkey on a new client when you're ready to spend.
Only once? It is more than that if you got new addresses in your wallet after that first backup....

390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this Bitcoin's achilles heel? on: April 03, 2013, 09:25:53 AM
Yep, some people are in it for the long haul, and some simply wanna spend their bitcoins on stuff instead of "cashing out". And many when seeing the sudden rise in the price will wait a bit to see it rising more.
391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this Bitcoin's achilles heel? on: April 03, 2013, 09:21:40 AM
Not everyone is selling their bitcoins; if someone did buy all the bitcoins for sale at the highest prices, the value of the bitcoins of the people that didn't sell would increase a lot.

I think your idea of distributing seigniorage proportionally to capital is flawed because capital can be gathered through corrosive means. A good way of gaining capital is not nessesarily a good or stable mechanism for society. So i dont think capital alone is a good indicatior for how usefull an entity is to society and should not be a base for any reward from society. The capital alone and the power it brings should be enough and is probably already too much.
You see, people have weaknesses that can be easily abused.
Imagine a pharmacorp that invents a medicine that hooks everyone. You don't have to buy it, but if you do you're prety much hooked for life. They can build up capital pretty effectvely from all the junkies they created. A whole industry can be created around the use of this substance. Even better, the junkies will do the hard part of the actuall robbing of society. Meanwhile the pharmacorp cashes in on the junkies. It's a booming business.

...

That has already happened with alcohol and tobacco, and arguably with caffeine and processed sugar/high fructose corn syrup.

So do we think it is only affecting chrome users or is this just speculation?

Aside from that there is no news is there?
You would be surprised how many people got Google as their home page and type URLs in the page's search box instead of the browser's URL bar...
395  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are private keys? on: April 02, 2013, 07:03:38 AM
Okay, can you give me an example of a transaction, break it down slowly >.<

I'm slow.
In this context "transaction" is just a fancy way of saying "a record of money changing hands".
396  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are private keys? on: April 02, 2013, 06:58:59 AM
The private keys are what is used to sign a transaction from one of your addresses. Basicly it is proof that the owner of that address said the money from that address should go somewhere else. And public keys are used to check if the signature really is from who it says it is.

As their name suggest, private keys are meant to be private (no one but the owner should have access to them in any form), and public keys are meant to be presented to the public. Though as already mentioned above the client automates the whole process so that the average user doesn't need to deal with the inner mechanics of the system.
397  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Creating an "official" protocol specification for the Bitcoin internet currency on: April 02, 2013, 06:54:40 AM

...

At the same time, there is really not that much legacy stuff that is really worth fixing.  Making some of the byte order more consistent— or what have you— is not worth the risk of a hardfork to get it. 
If life-like tests are run on testnet, would there really still be a risk of unintentional hard-forking?
398  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Creating an "official" protocol specification for the Bitcoin internet currency on: April 02, 2013, 06:52:06 AM
this is about defining a standard not a brand name (do people use the internet because of its brand name? what a load of bs)
If "bs" stands for "bullshit" then you have a gc above your head, where "gc" stands for "glass ceiling". There isn't anything wrong with being focused on technological aspects of development.

But completely ignoring the finacial and game-theoretic aspects of development is a serious disadvantage in career advancement.

Yes, people do use and invest in Bitcoin because of the brand name and the brand mystique that was built around it. Just look at their reactions to any alternate cryptocurrency that is nearly identical from the technical point of view.


The eggs are already scrambled, Bitcoin is open source. It is not the lack of proper specification that is gonna stop people from launching altcoins. If anything, not having a proper specification actually makes it easier for incompatible competitors to rise than for more development to be done on Bitcoin compliant software.



Btw, i hope the people working on this won't be stupid enough to just blindly accept any old block as valid; if you're gonna grandfather old blocks make sure they are the blocks you're looking for, don't accept just any old-looking block, otherwise an attacker could easily rewrite history.
399  Other / Meta / Re: ThiagoCMC, moderator using his power to censorship comments against him on: April 02, 2013, 06:31:58 AM
I don't remember how things go here, but on other forums i frequent, when somthing is not supposed to be posted, they edit the post in question replacing the questionable content with a notice explaining the reason, keeping the surrounding harmless text for context. Seems like a good approach IMO, helps to avoid the risk of accusations of a mod trying to cover their tracks. (the distinction is mostly just on the presentation, but the presentation can be part of the message)



Btw, any idea how Croppo got his hands on your data?
400  Economy / Speculation / Re: The next bitcoin bubble will be massive on: April 02, 2013, 03:17:15 AM
I have to be honest, I think the bubble is going to burst in the next 6 months.

There are some fundamental issues with bitcoin that will surface in next few months. On the other hand I have no doubt until these issues surface, the price will continue to rise.

Buyer beware!
It is hard to warn about alleged issues with Bitcoin without sounding like you just wanna scare peeps a little so you can buy a bit cheaper...
