Well i to Show that it is Two way decryptable i have added encrypt and decry pt option in the site ..

if they want 30K they will do... or else your welcome if your not intrested
Thanks for posting sites,stay cool with some people who will like to get your code.your work for free

i am going to send your sites to my friendly programmer

i really dont know what is your test  about
my encrypt Nap9uWVbNCdaNmdduWE1NaB9LSd9uWR9uWV9M6dbM6daN6d6LCdcLWJ9uWN

Works bot way encrypt decrypt

Excellent example... .   Wink

Moving on from that, it's a best practice not to use any cryptographical system which has not been standardised, this is why the security industry uses SHA-1, 256 and 512, including RSA and AES (for symmetrical-key systems) these have been tested, by everyone up to Americas NSA, yet they're still waiting to be broken.

You can encrypt as much as you want (using any technique you like) but encryption can never prevent double spending. You can only prevent double spending by having a shared centralised; mysqli, or decentralised; blockchain, database of all sent transactions..

If you're not using an online data sharing technique, then it's a local application..

You should go ahead and read this again
403  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Blockchain Steal my Money, please help on: August 30, 2015, 11:49:10 PM
Hello and thank you for your interest.


I have this wallet https://blockchain.info/address/18iXLg3UGKqmKcuowJzwcq9iXj84cn14fZ

And i work with bitcoin for few months ago, blockchain have a bad API receiving bitcoin and every time when i open a ticket to them they respond me this ''is not our fault is a bitcoin latency you will receive your bitcoin'', i have this website luxuryescorts.com and the customers pays me for their ads on website, we are NOT an agency or a service which provide sexual service, we only are a website where girls post their ads without offering any sexual service, only company. Every time when I respond them i respond from my email from the site and they know my website but i think last time i bother them when again i didn t receive my bitcoins and they decide to suspend my account on zendesk and steal my last transactionss WITHOUT ANY INFORM, anything, after i make another account on zendesk and i v ask them why my account is suspended they respond me that i violate their tos and i will no longer be their customer. I said ok but my money from my last transactios? You gave to me and they didn t answer anymore from then and suspend the second zendesk account, every time when i try to make another zendesk account and tell them who i am they suspend my account without telling nothing.

This is one of the transaction

https://blockchain.info/address/1Q1uaA6UcpZcYien5yyEqmmLxMoxyRYE5y

Its through API and normal the bitcoins must automatley go to

https://blockchain.info/address/18iXLg3UGKqmKcuowJzwcq9iXj84cn14fZ

But nothing, my opinion is that i don t violate nothing and they know from begining my transactions and my website but they feel offensed about my tickets about their latency API and they prefere to do that, but OK give my fucking money, is not a lot of money but IS IT NORMAL TO DO THAT? WITHOUT SAYING NOTHING? IS IT NORMAL
TO TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS? WHO THEY THINK THEY ARE??

Blockchain.info provides you with different keys (including your API Key) which is used to obfuscate and encrypt data, thus, they cannot access your funds (since they don't store or have access to your encryption keys) any transaction error, is more than likely to be caused by you, and not being able to understand how to correctly implement thier API.

There are always alternative such as block trail, chain, and block.io, which you may find easier to use (at a price)

With all my respect to you man , I'd say and only by looking to your topic and how you wrote the topic that it's nothing serious and probably nothing big . Still .. I'am looking forward to see what you are going to share with the community , when we should expect to see results ?

Your absolutely correct. Any payment system that functions offline wouldn't be able to synchronise in realtime. Bitcoin could have implemented this feature (which would have made it impossible to prevent double-spending) the question is, how this system solve the issue? (I'm guessing it can time travel)

406  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Internet connection and bitcoin on: July 21, 2015, 11:45:10 AM
Hello,
Recetly in this forum i found out that you can have bluetooth or NFC bitcoin wallet but this information is not really out there to new people for bitcoin.

In usa or uk or other bigger countries internet on a mobile phone is a must but in other countries its either low signal or very expesive or areas with no connections. I think they should be bigger awarness about this when it comes to paying with a bitcoin in a coffee shop in a small village. Maybe im wrong but i never really found any information about this.

Bluetooth / NFC are really an extentsion to light weight wallets, they aren't NFC chips with built in wallets. They are usually phone based wallets with the phone using NFC / Bluetooth to transmit / receive the Bitcoin client commands

Well, we provide both of these services (built-in for the phone and wallet) NFC built in wallet samples

408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Face recognition linked to Bitcoin on: July 18, 2015, 09:24:19 PM
This idea gets even worse the more you think about it:

OK, so lets assume it isn't really easy to systematically capture biometrics with digitial imaging equipment from miles away. Instead, imagine the $5 wrench attack against 2FA facial recognition + iris scans. Change the name to "5 seconds" attack, $5 wrench not even required. Probably don't even need to make physical contact, just close enough to grab some quick images. Tautologically dumb idea is a tautologically dumb idea.

Why bother making effort taking images? With today's society (widespread of online content sharing and cloud computing), it's most likely going to be on social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace. Need I go on?

Anything that's public shouldn't be used to encapsulate private data. This specifically applies to Bitcoin private keys.
409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Face recognition linked to Bitcoin on: July 18, 2015, 07:51:41 PM
In regards to the authentication information being on display, you should probably read this as well - A technic which allows the extraction of ones fingerprint with only a cutout piece of a photograph... Face recognition wouldn't be anymore difficult to fool, if one had a clear photograph which could be used to extract facial structures...

Good luck changing the patterns on your iris.

Quote
Department of Defense–funded researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are perfecting a camera that can take rapid-fire, database-quality iris scans of every person in a crowd from a distance of 10 meters..

/thread (finally)

You can only link face recognition to bitcoin (or any other digital key) if using a central server.

The problem is that biometric is not strictly deterministic, which is required for a digital key.
There is a ton of research in this area, e.g. if you can add a tollerance to where you hit on the epliptic curve.

But for now, would you need a central server to map your biometric against a database and find the match with higest proberbility, then will the server return the digital key.

Unfortunally with current technoligy can you not link a biometric with a digital key.
If you could, then would it open a whole new possiblility of applications.
The most interesting application is to improve the demochracy, you could improve the voting system significantly by using your biosignature as a digital key and then sign your vote online.

To conclude with @Carlton Banks quotes; both iris, and fingerprints could be extracted with an ordinary photograph, and facial recognition wouldn't be suitable because of its indeterministic nature; this makes it improbable and almost impossible to obtain the same values, unless a central server was introduced, thus, making your private keys as safe as an online wallet.

Furthermore, introducing "tollerance," would decrease the effectiveness of a relationship (between private key and facially recognised key), this would increase the possibility of obtaining identical values with difference faces, therefore, increasing the likelihood of mismatches, and sophisticated attacks from different sources such as photographs...
410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Face recognition linked to Bitcoin on: July 18, 2015, 06:47:40 PM
Let's be honest.. most people walk around with a wallet, with 1 or 2 or 3 credit cards and also their ATM card linked to their life savings, as you put it. The probability

for someone to get hold of that and to get your password is much higher or the same as someone going through the trouble to fake your face/finger print/retina etc...

The difference being that the authentication information isn't even stored on the cards at all, and still they are fairly easy to defraud. If you use a face scan, the literal authentication information is permanently on display, your fingerprint information is all over every single door you open and every surface you use. Fingerprint spoofing tech has existed for decades, and is now cheap and reliable. This idea is only going to get worse with time, and it's already a bad idea now.

In regards to the authentication information being on display, you should probably read this as well - A technic which allows the extraction of ones fingerprint with only a cutout piece of a photograph... Face recognition wouldn't be anymore difficult to fool, if one had a clear photograph which could be used to extract facial structures...

If things go as planned we should be about paypal level in the next decade.

snip

paypal level is joke, i'm quite certain that we can reach their volume next year with the halving, no need to wait a decade for that, bitcoin is moving at a much faster rate

this is true for the TX volume, there was a graph that was making a comparison between all the payment system, i'm trying to find it

It's sad to see that eBay is still not allowing its users to use bitcoin as a payament method, well what can I say? On the brighter side, it leaves a massive gap in the market for someone to secure.
413  Economy / Digital goods / Re: BitcoinOnMultiPC : Secure tool to use on multiple PCs Bitcoin Core [0.05 Btc] on: July 18, 2015, 02:50:10 PM
Note; if you're working with Bitcoin, we really wouldn't ever recommend the installation of Java, or at least Java being anywhere near a mile to your computer. There's an uncountable amount of exploits within the JVM core and up, which are unlikely to be fixed in the next millennium. For this closed-source tool above, it's also recommended that you simply ignore it; you're either paying BTC 0.05 for a virus or nothing.

414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: extinguishing Western union on: July 18, 2015, 10:53:52 AM
When bitcoin achieves widespread mainstream adoption Western Union is going to be one of the first big companies to suffer. Bitcoin will basically wipe them our & take most of their business. The fees are incomparable, Western Union are robbing people to send money abroad, it's disgusting. There is only one winner long term & it isn't Western Union.

You couldn't be more correct. As the adoption of Bitcoin grows, the need to convert btc to fiat, vice versa, would also increase at a local level, therefore, making it much more possible to locally source individuals willing to trade. This would reduce the need to use bank transfers, online exchanges, WU and the fees they impose.
415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: extinguishing Western union on: July 18, 2015, 09:46:30 AM
1.5% is decent no?

1.5% is good, the point is, it could be pushed to 0.5% or even 0.1% at a profit for btc businesses.

So talk me through that. Whilst bitcoin is not spendable prevalently in the Phillipines there needs to be a third party for the son to change his bitcoins in to Philippine Pesos. A third party that wants to make some sort of profit and also a third party that is exposed, for a certain amount of time to the volatility of the value of bitcoin.

There's also the predicament of the nurse needing to convert here GBP in to bitcoins initially. Again this presumably requires a third party wanting to make a profit and that is exposed to risk. I know in the UK that you can buy pretty much instantly from a market place but you are looking at 4%+ for your purchase. Purchasing £100 from an exchange would probably be more expensive due to bank fees and exchange rates and would require a wait of 2-5 working days.

I am failing to see how bitcoin can compete with WU. Even if bitcoin was spendable prevalently in the Phillipines, the purchasing cost in the first place is more expensive than WU.

Of course the cheapest methods are the most time consuming. Let's look at a free service such as https://localbitcoins.com. This makes it possible to find local bitcoiners who are in need of someone willing to give them those precious pesos for bitcoins via face-to-face trade I.e. leaving bitcoins transaction fee, 0.0001 (£0.02, PHP 1.28, $0.03) or 0.00000000, in the picture. Now you can either hold those coins yourself or directly redirect them to the recipient (who only needs to repeat this process to complete the circle) There's nothing more I can say in regards to bitcoins price volatility; it could either come as an advantage or disadvantage.

417  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2 years ago Cyprus, now Greece? new bubble on the way? on: July 18, 2015, 08:15:24 AM
The 1200 bubble was for the most part produced by WillytheBot (MtGox) and his followers. Cyprus crisis had about the same impact on Bitcoin price as Greece has right now. Problem is mainly, when the banks are closed, people are not able to buy Bitcoins.

This is exactly the reason why we need to push the distribution of BTC ATMs. The more we rely on these banks for getting input bitcoin, the better chance we have on flourishing the industry.
418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: extinguishing Western union on: July 18, 2015, 12:02:31 AM
Although Bitcoin does seem to be some sort of obstacle for WU, couldn't Ripple (XRP) be a simple and efficient solution for them? Their users could be given XRP which would be redeemable at any of their outlets...
419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who controls bitcoins? on: July 16, 2015, 04:39:29 PM

Can the government shut down the internet? Yes they can!


First, why do you think this?

Theoretically the Internet can be shutdown.... That's not the question. The question is, can they delete the blockchain from every computer which downloaded it? Well, you know the answer...
420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I trade prepaid visa cards/etc(s) for Bitcoin is it possible? on: July 16, 2015, 04:36:20 AM
Hey I was wondering if it's possible to do this?

Is it possible?

We've look at allowing this, but, how do you differentiate a prepaid card from a standard bank card?
Do you simply take the users word on this, and allowing them to choose the type of card it is their using for purchases? As of now, this is not really an option for any Bitcoin related business model.
