Works awesome now! Now I can go through and watch the videos and see how to actually use it and put trades up in the market! Thanks again for helping a poor newbie out...

Ah damn, yeah I can't have my computer on all the time, so that's why I didn't use a torrent. Crap, I'll try to figure something out, sorry guys. Although I just checked the website, and this first course is actually going again in Nov if you want to sign up. Anyway, I'll figure something out, sorry.

Hello all, I am signed up for the crypto class, as I'm sure many of you are. For those that aren't, I've compiled the videos, lecture slides, and the homeworks into a zip file. (The course is free.) I'm putting it up in hopes that some of you who missed signing up for it will want to sign up for the second course in January. I didn't want to upload everything separately, and I didn't know how to use dropproxy for a folder, so it's all together in one big 1.02gb zip file, with md5 of 26f888fe90a5ecd48dee01e91f116f1c. (I'm hoping some brave soul will download it and vouch that it's not a virus or anything.) Once again, I'm not trying to take away by giving out this "pirated" materials--the course was free, and I'm encouraging people to sign up for part two ( https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto2) So, if you guys are interested, here it is: http://dropproxy.com/f/39 |

The card will be associated to a single, static address?
If someone finds out my card address, s/he will be able to know how much I've put and will put in the card?
I hope you implement a way of generating disposable addresses to fund the card. The static printed address might be practical in some situations, but its use should be avoided - you should also explain why to your clients.
Despite that, congratulations for your development! You're already a valuable resource to this community, and it gets better by the day.
Yeah, the card's purpose is not at all anonyminity or even safety. It is designed to do two things, which it will do very very well: first, to allow people to instantly sell btc for fiat and be able to access that fiat instantly (yeah yeah, we'd all like to use bitcoin to buy things, but in the meantime, this is a good solution); and second, it is a great conversation starter for introducing people to bitcoin. Now they know about bitcoin, and they also know it's as easy to spend as "real" money. Now they might get interested... (And hopefully, they'll learn enough to wish they didn't have to use a card to convert back to fiat!) That card is a great thing for bitcoin, anonymity and security be damned! |

:-( I did do that. I made a text file with random output from openssl that I am using. It accepts that file and runs, but it does not remember that file for the next time. This part from my first post shows that it was loaded correctly, right? Started Stage: SetupPasswordImage
C:\Program Files\da2ce7-Moneychanger\otmc-password-image-testing-file.txt
storable:com.wrapper.core.jni.Storable@7796bb71
stringMap:com.wrapper.core.jni.StringMap@48ec350d
Completed Stage: SetupPasswordImage That's the file I select and it seems fine and works, but like I said, it doesn't remember it the second time. And when I re-select it, I run into the problems. Edit: Thanks for taking the time to respond, let alone making this gui and the ot library in the first place. You are doing great work and on top of it taking the time to help people out. Thanks for all of that man, it's truly appreciated. |

I keep running into some problems. Win7 x64, and I have installed the 32 and 64 bit versions of openssl, and of the 2008 and 2012 redistributables, although I only have the x64 version of Java. Moneychanger runs great the first time and i can create an identity and send it to the server, but every time I run the software a second time it has problems loading my identity and crashes with "image is null" or something like that: "Found JAVA in: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7"

I really really want to get into this, but I'm just not as tech savvy as most of you here-- I'm not a programmer and I use Windows! I very much want to see this project succeed though, since from what I understand, it is an amazing thing not just for bitcoin but for transacting online generally speaking. Any help you can give would be much appreciated!!! |

oh man i am bookmarking this thread. bots, staking, so much potential! im a horse for a guy who runs high stakes home games in the LA area, and he has a bunch of others, so every time a game goes it's: 5 good players who are being staked, 2-3 bad rich players. he takes 5%-10% $200-$300 max rake, so he rakes 10-30K a night, paid for by the 3 losing bad players, and he has 50% of the rest of the money won by the winners. it's a fucking amazing sweet gig. now then, regarding bots, i started to program a bot for cash games, the only form of nlhe im really REALLY good at, but i stopped after i had mapped out about 300 distinct flop textures and a few dozen stack size inflection points. but i might go download winholdem or openholdem now and either program a hyper turbo push fold bot or go download whatever university of alberta has recently.

If you think a community of tech-minded people are "inept" because they keep "losing" untraceable money with which there is almost no legal recourse against them, I'm afraid you aren't really thinking it through...

I really want to see him come and post, just here, with something like "keep going" and then disappear again. That would be hilarious.

No, transactions are signed with the private key of the sending address. This can be verified using the public key, ie the sender's address. Any alteration to the plain text would make the signature verification fail. This is standard public key cryptography.
Public key cryptography means that one address can send a message aka a transaction out to the network and everybody can verify that the message has not been altered. So a man in the middle attack could only stop the transaction from being sent out in the network by blocking it (or altering it so it would be rejected and never get in a block). Just changing the sent to address is not possible.

I can't talk about the others, but I've met Micon and listened to his show a few times, and I understand why he was so vocal about pirate. With so many scams in bitcoin, and then something that seems too good to be true, 31% monthly aka 3370% annually, returns pops up and seems like obviously a scam. But if you can convince enough people that it's legit, big money will pour in for those kinds of returns, so it behooves the scammer to really work the audience for the long play with a scam like that-- so I genuinely believe that Micon truly believed that pirate was out for a big scam and Micon was trying to protect people.
That said, I met some of the better known and respected community members as well, and those that had met pirate and talked with him about his operation and how he got the returns-- and now they know his real identity (which for a long play scam could ALSO be a fake) -- but these people who had good judgement trusted him.
So weighting all the voices around, I decided that pirate was most likely the real deal. I would have put a lot of money with him if it wasn't already tied up. I was actually planning to put money with him at the end of this month. Oh well. But the point is that all these voices that OP claims are needlessly spreading FUD are NOT evil or doing harm. They are simply voicing reasonable concerns to the community that when something seems too good to be true, it often is. But as a reasonable thinking person, you should be able to try and discern WHY each party says what they say and try to figure out who benefits and what the real information is. I know why the pirate FUD spreaders were spreading FUD-- they truly felt they were trying to protect the community from a big scam. I also know why the people who trusted him trusted him-- they met pirate and saw how the operation worked and determined that it was logical and consistent and possible to legitimately get those returns. I weighted all the opinions and the facts I could find and made my own determination.
THAT's what everybody should be doing, always. Making their own decisions. There are no seeds of distrust that can overcome facts and data and logical reasoning. As long as you think for yourself you will be able to protect yourself.

You want to raise awareness by the most difficult means possible? You think the average person will go through all that is necessary to redeem a private key and spend it or exchange it and then say "yeah this totally beats the ease of the paper in my wallet that everybody already accepts"??

My main point is that if socialism is the best way to make Bulgarians happy, then they should be socialist. It wouldn't make me happy, though. So I live in 'MURICA!!111
As long as it's voluntary, I don't care how they organize their society. Like you said, whatever makes them happy. Uh-oh. What if involuntary organization makes them the happiest? This happens over and over. Countries in the middle east get "democracy" and vote away their freedom. |

I really like Jim Cramer. He's always been an advocate of doing your own research and watching out for your investment. Back in '05 or '06 there's a video of him screaming at the top of his lungs about how subprime mortgages are terrible and going to cause the biggest crash in the economy we've ever seen, and when he went on Jon Stewart as a representative of the financial side and Stewart just ripped into him, he basically sat there and took it and said yeah you got screwed and it was our fault. I'm reading his autobiography now by the way too, and it's pretty fascinating. I really feel like he's one of the good guys.

We had 30 players. Dutch Boyd (formerly of "The Crew") made a celebrity appearance to win the 21.6BTC prize.
THE Dutch Boyd, of PokerSpot fame, came into money? Good news for the players OHWAIT :-P Edit: Oh, I was feeling bad for mocking him about that, then I remembered he was recently up to douchebaggery with trying to register a similar twoplustwo domain. Nope, no feeling bad for him. Crazy bipolar giant douchenozzle. Fuck him, maybe he can go join "poker's hardest working man" Scott Fishman over at the 5-10 mixed game at the Aria. |
