Just sent a small sum to an address for a check, the machine answers that there is now 0 BTC on that address FROM where I sent money. So I went to a block explorer to check this damn address: 14U61He6rNdgfDBtE2vuytaaDH3y3fHZhU And I see this: https://blockexplorer.com/address/14U61He6rNdgfDBtE2vuytaaDH3y3fHZhUThe problem: I have no money on that address. I have never received any BTC on that address. I checked ALL the addresses in my Bitcoin Wallet, and I didn't receive any money to that address ever. And it emerges: it seems I didn't understand shit of the blockchain. Address 14Tf is the one that is SHOWN in my Bitcoin Wallet. As I didn't move a lot of money from that address, I would assume that the money is still there. But it's not. Apparently, when I made a small transaction of 0.01 BTC to 14NF to show a friend how Bitcoin works, THE REST of my funds were moved to 14U6. Then, I made this small transaction of 0.001055 BTC to 14FG and AGAIN my funds were moved onto another address: 1LNz. Can please somebody with good hearth explain me why oh why if I make a transaction, all the rest of my funds is moved onto another address BUT it doesn't show up in the Bitcoin Wallet AT ALL?

I don't understand what exactly you are saying.. does Poloniex official announced something like that? I don't think a single Exchange can have control of that much BTC.. BTW your link of the Image is not working. Edit: Ok. I've saw that image. it is still weird and very shocking. That's exactly the problem, and my link is working perfectly.

I see ~3000 btc on lending offers, not 100k.
Where do you see that number?
|

As some of you can't seem to find anything strange, not even seeing where this amount was being on lending, I enhanced the snapshot. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/858716/bitcoin/105000-BTC-lending.jpgHope now everybody can see the problem here. Please also notice the total amount of Bitcoins available for lending: 3 millions 252 thousands. Now, this is a screenshot I took right now, actual situation: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/858716/bitcoin/105000%20no.pngBitcoins vailable for lending: around 900. It's months that I see something strange going on, and this puts another brick on the wall that makes me suspect they are heavy on insider trading. I think they play with numbers, have bots in action to lower the interest rates for lending and buying/selling, and I suspect this is the standard most exchanges. Thanks also to Bitcoin's pseudonimity, these actions would be extremely difficult to prove by any justice official. Not that I blame them for this too much, as I also think this is helping Bitcoin earn value, otherwise, as there's still too much offer in respect to demand, its value would remain low.

I contacted Sasha Ivanov, founder of Waves, about the linked address 1NGfrU4YNp8dox1gLeUDyjD5Vpfck9no5j that has 4800 BTC from Waves ICO. His response was that if the project is successful, he is going to distribute our coin as dividend to Waves holders. So, even the largest (so far) whale in our distribution is a kind of collective investment entity.
Could it become a potential threat for the Byteball system if the parties like Waves and Lisk and others will hold 10% of byteball for a fairly long time and won't distribute the coins to their investors, especially when they are in competition with Byteball? It may be not a bad idea to block their BTC addresses for the next distribution round if they don't distribute their coins from this round to their investors before the next round. This is not a bad idea to block all ICO funds from getting Byteballs, as they are in the competition and it's not going to help us in anyway, unless they agree some sort of collaboration. Maybe the right way is to actually cap the max amount of Byteballs given to any address. If an address contains more than 1 BTC, in example, just give 1 BTC of Byteballs. If the objective is to DISTRIBUTE Byteballs, you want this to happen this way, not to give immense quantities of Byteballs to people that ALREADY have a huge amount of real money stored in BTC. This method seems more fair for community, but in practice is complicated to be managed correctly, people will split BTC to many addresses ... Of course some will, but I doubt some millionaire will take time and split his multimillion addresses to gain Byteballs. At least this should be tried anyway (imo). Also, I don't think it's such a difficulty, as there is a coupling going on in a database on a server, for what I see. So when Byteballs are issued, they could easily be capped to X per address.

I can't understand one thing: has the TestNet bytes been distributed or the official net ones?
The official live net Byteballs have been distributed. So what should I do with the testnet byteballs that the faucet has emitted??? Pretty useless I'd say.

So the thing has started already? The transition bot doesn't work...
Too late to link BTC address now, the 1st round of distribution already happened. Upgraded to 1.0 and saw the distribution coming, great job dev! Mhhh how to know when another round of distribution will happen? It should be in 1 or 2 months, but this can change Duh thank you!

One thing I can't understand of this device. Does it add computing power to the Antpool mining pool or does it make the "lottery" in solo mode? Not that I would buy it to win the lottery, but I would like to help decentralize a bit. So by using this, would I be helping decentralization or would it still ad computing power to the Antpool mining node?
If you use CrazyGuy's custom firmware you can use the R1 as a normal miner. If you pm him I'm sure he will give it to you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25223Thank you for the info, dude

Found this address being suspected to be holding GOX fund here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=492776.msg5437308#msg5437308And nothing special with this address, some spammers are just sending dust bitcoin to post their public messages and even someone trying to lure people to invest in some shady projects/ideas like this lol i see many people here begging for money, but i`m looking for an investor for my app-idea.Mr. Zuckerberg payed for Whatsapp $19 bil.... Thank you for info I understand the notes, but why would people waste money by sending it around in dust?

A lot of people use small amounts of bitcoin to send to famous addresses to troll with signed messages, or as a tribute. In the mtgox address there is a lot of trolling and calling out Karpeles, and for example in satoshi's original address a lot of people send messages like "thank you satoshi" or whatever.
Thank you for info

I was just dicking around on the 100 richest Bitcoin addresses, when I found this: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/19PPeuu4jPjqtefSQ2FDgKmNJ88Z5wiuJtI can't understand. This guy bought 10000 BTC, and then let them there, and OK, an investment for the future. But then you see there's dust and dust and more dust added to this address. What could have happened here? Did he buy some cloud mining scam and put automatic payment to this address? Just curiosity.

Isn't this project... OpenBazaar?
Nope, OpenBazaar is a decentralized market place, where this guy wants to create a site similar to Amazon that is centralized. Sites like this are prone to fail, because centralized services needs a lot of money to succeed. They come under constant attacks, because they are a HoneyPot for hackers to compromised people's accounts. Good luck OP, I hope you realize what you are getting yourself into with this. ^smile^ Duh! I thought he wanted to do something like OpenBazaar, couldn't even imagine he wanted to make just another centralized marketplace! So old stuff!

Hi! I am a 45 years old madman, experienced 3D modeler, UI designer, game designer and "half programmer" with an idea for a new "semi-gambling" game. The project can be completed fully in 2 months. The game isn't related with cards, roulette, slot machine or anything "traditional" like that. I can make the whole game part, in Unity: graphics, programming, etc., I don't need any help with that. What I need help with, is: - Bitcoin API integration - user database management - security "expert" to prevent client and server hacking and cheating. I don't have experience in MySQL etc. and I have no time to learn it right now. I just want to go live with the product as soon as possible. Experience in Javascript, MySQL, PHP, or other free database systems is mandatory. Experience in Unity is welcome, but not necessary. Experience or study in Bitcoin functioning and security/hacking is a great plus. If you have some free time you would like to put at work on an innovative project, say 20 hours per week, send me a private message and I'll explain the project in more detail. We could make some money together. If you think a project like this can be worked on for 1 hour in the evening when you are tired of playing DOTA, and you are not ready to "waste" some Sunday afternoon/night on it, let it be. Or maybe if you don't like to fight with code entire nights, you should leave the whole coding job alone lol If you are curious about what I can do, I can send you a build of another project I'm working on at the moment (videogame but not Bitcoin related).
