Yes, but we're not talking about speed of filling the spots. Even if all the spots are taken, there's a chance someone will drop or get kick-out and there will be vacancy etc

In this case, the campaign will end in less than 2 weeks, so Mitchełł may choose not to add it as he'll have to remove it very soon. Let's leave it to him to decide.

This thread gets updated on an almost daily basis (just look at the changelog),
I don't see the point why there should be monthly campaigns included, and one that runs for two weeks should then be ruled "too short".
It's a campaign, people can enroll and get paid => It should be in this thread.

I agree -> http://pastebin.com/PicYmZEG

Yes, legit. I verified.

Just curious, what was your password?

They always say "more security" until someone leaks the next set of unencrypted data.

The way they handled the person reporting them the leak speaks volumes. They probably run other hosting companies as well, they did some cross promotions on facebook.

Interesting "hard-to-crack" passwords indeed.

Some of the passwords are actually good though, they look random and have a decent length. Others however... Passw0rd, abc123, lots of keyboard walking.

The main issue in my opinion is balancing the amount of posts in those types threads a user that posts exclusively in those threads is not really adding any content or quality posts to the forum most campaigns exclude those sections as a what did you drink today post in off-topic doesn't really merit much discussion or a giveaway in investor based games, on the other hand while discussing your personal preference of a Bitcoin wallet a bit of good discussion can occur as people prefer different ways of storing their coins.

The problem in my opinion is if the majority of a users posts are in the former type of threads then they would be spamming even if it is one of those type of threads that is non demanding.

I dont see a problem with people posting in spammy threads, you know when you enter a thread that allows nothing but low quality posts. Maybe call it recreational posting, I dont know. Its spam, yes, but it is not derailing or diminishing an otherwise good thread. These are IMHO the bigger problem. People that do not read threads and just post their 3-4 sentences of emptyness or rehash other answers. Obviously if you are only here for giveaways or to post each day what you drank, there should be no one paying for your posts, but even if, I dont think this is a problem. Its not like the forum has a storrage problem. It has a spam problem and the spammy threads are not causing the problem. What is causing the problem is bad posts in otherwise good threads.

This -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1243734.msg12990564#msg12990564

is spam, but its not easy to find if you dont follow the thread. Its annoying for those seeking help and a possible distraction as well. It might even be dangerous  in the sense of "oh just export your private key and upload it here". Its also difficult to report as it might be an honest mistake.

This -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1090962.msg12995337#msg12995337

is harmless, easy to find and not a problem. At least in my opinion.

I understand.
Should/can we make lengthy,constructive post every time even in the non demanding contexts, specially in games and rounds section where you just need to post your username most of the time?

No, adding a sentence that is not saying anything to your post is not increasing the quality of the post. There are threads where its not possible to post constructive, like give aways or "what did you drink today". I also think one should not expect a discussion when entering such a thread.
4646  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: O(1) Block Propagation, IBLT on: November 17, 2015, 10:36:14 AM
I think your question isn't posed properly. The better way would be to observe that IBLT is O(1) in space and somewhere between O(n) and O(n2) (or maybe even O(n3)) in time. Then the proper way of asking the question would be: under what circumstances IBLT produces lower orphan probability than just sending the straight linear list of transactions (O(n) in space and O(n) in time)?

It bitcoin itself this is a rather moot point, at roughly one orphan per day produced (hardly inefficient). I can see how this might matter in a chain with a much lower block time, though.

It also matters with larger blocks. If miners see an increasing orphan rate because big blocks propagate slower throughout the network they have an incentive to keep blocks small no matter the limit. This is a big topic especially for chinese miners, which hold the majority of the networks hashpower.

You can have graphics and branding. Your account just needs to get past the newbie stage. Banning newbie accounts from posting images was a great help to those of us who'd rather take their forum reading without walls of geriatric porn.
I have never seen any 'geriatric porn' here. Not to mention walls of them. Maybe in the offtopic section is thread for this stuff but I rarely go there.
So I doubt that newbies will overuse their ability to post pictures - that is if you are normal person, interested in bitcoin or cryptocurrency discussion and not off topic pictures only.

But thing is - if you are developer of new coin you probably SHOULD have account older than a month on the largest cryptocurrency forum. It is not that you learned about bitcointalk after you learned about altcoins.

The restriction was put into place because Newbies posted porn in the speculation section.

If this is not resolved within 48 hours I will intervene. I'm holding ~0.39BTC in escrow

Sounds like the escrow is underfunded, total payout according to the spreadsheet is 1.5905 BTC.

Which wallet software or service are you using?

Can you elaborate more on the marked section? What do you mean by "could not recover the address"?

Does the [Suspicious link removed]" file just have the webpage running from one index file for the entire collection of poss and their threads. I know that the posts and the threads will be saved in different documents and the username and passwords of all the users will be saved on a file too!

Also: Have there ever been any hackings of usernames and passwords and user information that have been very severe?

You managed to hit the URL filter, why do I think this has nothing to do with bitcointalk.org?

New announcement from Bitmixer:

We've banned several users with negative trust, so there are some free slots.

Not sure for how many but If I'm not wrong there were around 5 to 10 bots on Bitmixer in which were banned plus some with negative ratings so the spots are open for now

Can a bitcoin address having same digit throughout, (like : 1111111111111111111111111111111) be easily hacked?

Nope. Last 4 would not match anyway.

It does seem like, in principle, it's possible that the checksum part of an address could be the same character repeated.  As for that character being the same as the rest of the address, I guess you've only 58 such address to check out, the 1s, the 2s, the 3s, ... the zs.

Hmm, I cant do it right now for some reason, but it should not be possible. 1 is the 0 in base58 as bitcoin uses it. So you are essentially looking for a pubkey with ripemd160(sha256(pubkey)) = 0. That might be possible, but in order for the check sum to also be 0 you need the first 4 bytes of sha256(sha256(0)) to be 0 as well. Tried to create a valid address with some online tools[1][2], but somehow its not spitting out what I think it should. So maybe I miss something.

[2] http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator

Or = 2222, or equals 3333, etc, right?  Anyway, it'd be a funny address if you found such a thing.  Maybe it'd make the hall of fame, i dunno.

Oh, now I get it. Yes, that might be possible. Well, finding the pubkey probably not while the sun is still burning. It might however be possible to find a µ where all its base58 symbols are the same and sha256(sha256(µ)) = µ(+)some rest no one cares about.
4657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Btc transaction not verified after 3 days on: November 16, 2015, 08:23:27 PM
I sent a Bitcoin transaction of 8.5 btc 3 days and 8 hours ago with a fee of 0.0001 btc and it still does not have a single confirmation. I tested sending a few smaller transactions since then and they got confirmed shortly after.
Is it normal to take so long and is there any way to speed up the process?

Go To: blockchain.info/address/"youraddress" (replacing "youraddress" with the address you used to send the transaction or the receiving address)
If the transaction doesn't appear then it may be beneficcial to know where you sent it from (what application or service) and you may want to contact one fo the bitcoin developers which are on this forum and are marked on the forum as a bitcoin developer. The only thing that I can think is because it is a high amount, the network may want to get many confirmatoion first, but it should still show iwth a pendig message next to it. Why not post the transaction ID or the address in the OP too to help people understand your problem?

Please dont do this here.

No working solution found so far, still giving 0,1 btc to anyone who can find a way to fix this.
Did mine not work? It should have removed the transaction so that you can spend.
When I typed "python pywallet.py --web" in cmd, it returned "'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Any idea what I did wrong?
Looks to me like you don't have Python installed on the system your trying to run this fix from.

https://www.python.org/downloads/
Reinstalled Python and it still gives the same error.

My offer still stands, if anyone else wants to try and guide your through it feel free to take their advice.
4660  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: "absurdly high fees" on: November 16, 2015, 07:59:11 PM
According to the source code ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/b632145edeb376b4d1597f192ca00634f7d2866c/src/main.cpp#L944), an absurdly high fee is considered the minrelaytxfee * 10000. I suppose you can increase that by increasing your minrelaytxfee.

Honestly though, what is the point of having this? I thought high fees were a good thing.

I think it was added to prevent people accidentally broadcasting a transaction with fees of 100 BTC.

I suspect the same, increased minrelaytxfee to 0.000001 and raised limitfreerelay to 150000 as well. This should still pretty much cover all TX with low/no fee without hindering me paying a high fee when needed.

It also seems like there is a hard cap for fees of 0.1 BTC. I tried to spend 1 BTC as fee (testnet obviously) and it would not go over 0.1 not with 1, nor with 10 inputs.
