I also get the incorrect password error. Also, could you please check if you didn't miss a pm from yesterday, when you get time? Cheers.

edit: seems like login works, but change password doesn't.

Also, using password authentication without any encryption doesn't really make things more secure. As long as this is just informational it doesn't really matter (much) but if you think of implementing stuff that isn't you really should enable https also.

I meant to vote for the last depositor, but voted for the newest account by accident (though it was "newest deposit"). There isn't a way to change your vote, is there?

This is exactly what is wrong with the society today: too many middle men trying to get rich of others with doing nothing. If this is indeed the case and you can't lend to pirate directly you can lend to me and I'll give you your fair share of the profit. People like this make me sick.

It's only a question of time until someone loses money at 1% daily rates.

well this is how investing works, there can't be profit without risk.
In this case risk is multiplied, for less return.
Yes, this is exactly why I'm against what the op is trying to do here.

In any case, I don't think that once you have an account you can just throw any amount of money into it and expect interests, makes no sense at all.

There's a checkbox you can check to save them in outbox.

Didn't see that, thanks a bunch!
407  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: Looking for lenders on: December 24, 2011, 05:02:34 PM
pirateat40, I've sent you a pm (or maybe I haven't as it disappeared from the outbox), could you please check? Thank you.

Sorry about that, responded.   
No problem, replied. Sent messages obviously don't get saved in the outbox, I can never remember if I sent it or not... Smiley

I'm just wondering, without a trusted third party, how can someone trust the maker of these bills that the private key is really under the hologram?

"User account does not exist, try a different public_id"

does anyone else get the same error?

Yup, I'm getting the same message.

ok, thank you!

I don't think they have an quantum algorithm to do reverse ECDSA yet. But I could be wrong.
shor's algorithm can be modified to work on elliptic curves.

could this 10 square foot Black Box really punch a hole in bitcoin?

even if it could bitcoin would just use different encryption.

Or you could just use your password as seed for creating private/public keys and wouldn't have to store anything.

1GB !! each of those tars is from genesis to upload date, eh? Can anyone confirm that they are compatible with client 0.4?
yes, it's every block to date in the filename. I can't confirm but I'm 100% certain it will work fine with 0.4.

If I hack the client and broadcast a transaction from an empty wallet, wouldn't that also show up as 0 confirmations at first (exactly the same as it would with a regular transaction), until the next block is found? At that point in time I'd be long gone.
No it wouldn't - the receiving client would not accept the transaction, since it could not have contained a valid input. You would have to have the matching private key to an unspent output from a previous transaction in the blockchain to generate a valid transaction - but at that point your wallet would not have been empty anymore because you actually had the corresponding coins.

Don't worry - counterfeiting Bitcoins is actually pretty damn hard Wink
Thanks for elaborating.

I thought it took about 10 minutes to fully verify a bitcoin transaction under normal conditions.  Are these transfers mediated through some kind of escrow service?

Why it is very unlikely for someone to do a double spend at a POS purchase:

I had the same problem when changing wallets. -rescan works on linux but doesn't always work on windows. Get an old backup of the block chain (from http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/, older than the block including this transaction) and let the client download the rest, and it will show up - this has always worked for me.

It ran up from $1 to $30 really quickly.  a price drop back down to $15 or even $8 is not going to cause a loss of interest.


The reason why it will cause loss of interest is that mining is not profitable anymore. I think this is a big part of the whole bitcoin craze. It will still have some interest, but it will lose alot.



Bitcoins are mined at the same rate regardless of difficulty.

This seems wrong. If that were true then what would be the point of having "difficulty" at all? I thought difficulty affected how long it took to solve a block?
exactly, but to keep the rate constant with increasing hashing power.
