Ca a l'air super sympa! J'ai pas le temps de regarder en ce moment, j'ai juste survolé le thread anglais

Mais rassurez-moi, ce n'est pas un périphérique USB avec une ENORME tête ronde hein?
Euh si si... Mais wtf? C'est horrible on peut rien mettre à côté

Kodo seems to post hundreds of garbage posts...
I don't get it... Is it to look more respectful with a big number of posts?

Testdisk looks promising, the forensic tools are also interesting. Smiley

Gotta look into pywallet - sounds very promising.


But want to clarify that It's not a problem finding the file itself when they are visible to the OS.
BTW: My guess is that the quickest way to find an intact wallet is to just use something like "dir \wallet.* /s" or "dir \?allet.* /s" after undeleting.
Yep, pywallet will search private keys on the HDD.
It doesn't search for a filename though as the file may have been partially rewritten. It looks for private key headers that you can find in a wallet.
It'd be easier to use on Linux as AFAIK nobody tried the key recovery function on Windows.

You can also use wxHexEditor (all platforms) that will basically do the same thing but it is specifically designed to search a set of bytes. It's less blackbox than pywallet.

Buy or mine Litecoins not BTC
Are you really advising a newbie to buy Litecoins? Stop your lame attempt to make him inflate this bubble even more.
The FIRST crypto-currency a newbie should be is Bitcoin. Period.

After hours of reading about their differences, their strengths, theirs weaknesses, their devs, their future development, then he can wisely chose whether he wants to risk money in one or more Bitcoin clones
Actually he should even buy Bitcoins only after all this reading
4109  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Incentive and computing power after 21 million is reached on: May 29, 2013, 07:07:23 PM
So can someone explain the difficulty vs. the price of the bitcoin.  Even if the difficulty rises significantly if bitcoin goes up a lot it would still be worth mining.  or am I missing something?

I guess my main question is, is it worth investing in a rig (GPU) right now or just use the money to buy bitcoins?
Buy bitcoins  Smiley

I pledge a bounty of 100 of the first pre-mined coin I'll release to the first person/group/robot/government/dog who will make the list of all the coins that ever came to life in this forum.



PS1: Yeah, it's a 'prank' (MNW-proof)
PS2: But I'd really love to see such a list

Answer when there are 2^160 possibilities (the total number of bitcoin addresses)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207808.msg2179046#msg2179046
Here you're asking for private keys (a tiny bit less than 2^256 different ones), so you're basically multiplying what is in this thread by 79228162514264337593543950335

And anyway, it can be in use. In that case, jackpot
4115  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: net split? what would happend? on: May 29, 2013, 05:58:37 PM
Am I missing something? How do you blacklist a block? How do you sanction a fork? How does the chinese government block p2p?

I mean the government wouldn't have to make much of a change to the client.  They could use the standard client with 1 extra line of code to do the blacklisting.

Merchants in China might decide that it is better to use the officially sanctioned chain, as they are much less likely to be hassled.

Why would merchants decide that? If they want to offer digital services to the rest of the world, they'd be better off just using bitcoin.

You're assuming that if the chinese government decides to make a competing bitcoin by forking the blockchain, they may gain traction. I think that's plain stupid because if it's an exact copy of bitcoin minus the global currency part, it simply won't compete and there's nothing the chinese government can do about it.
I'm not sure that if the chinese gvt cuts the link between internet and chinanet, it would still want trades to happen with the rest of the world
4116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Auction WTS] 4300 HYC - Hypercoin on: May 29, 2013, 05:53:15 PM
You could bump a thousand times that would not give any value to those coins
4117  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: net split? what would happend? on: May 29, 2013, 05:49:52 PM
Don't forget most ASICs are produced in China. If China controls >51% of hashing power, a remerge will become a disaster for the rest of the world
No:
Note that after the merge any transaction which builds upon one of the newly invalidated double spends will be invalid too. All block rewards are gone too, and any transaction spending them likewise, and any transactions building on them etc.

This is even more serious than you make it sound, and I guess it would kill bitcoin for users of the smaller chain. They might insist on hard forking perpetuating the split with  their own custom client or turn away completely. I don't think there is a sane way to reconcile the 2 user bases.

If it did happen, then Chinese users would be strongly recommended to increase their "confirmed" delay for more than 6.

Smuggling the block chain headers would be pretty trivial.  Clients should be designed to give a big warning if the block header chain is much longer than the one where they can get actual blocks.  The effect would be that all the Chinese clients would show that the chain is unsynced.

Also, on re-merge, the Chinese government might simply define their fork as the official Chinese fork and ban use of the non-Chinese fork.  This would be accomplishable by blacklisting the single block on the main chain after the fork happened.

The value of Chinese bitcoins would drop, but Chinese merchants might be more willing to accept them, since they are now officially sanctioned.

Wow, a thread in the altcoin subforum which is not about a 5 days-old coin.
I nearly cried.

Anyway, nice work. I'm happy to see Namecoin is still developped.
I won't be able to test it soon though.

I like putting everything into a single file because I find it easier to track and easier for newbies
I can split it in three though and then push the four files to github
