still doesn't work  Sad
i've uninstalled the bitcoin wallet again + delete entries in registry from bc + installed again.
same again - locked bc wallet - no chance to unlock it...
please help!!!  Embarrassed

Did you delete %appdata%\bitcoin

and

c:\Program Files\Bitcoin

worked, with deleting this:

Quote
%appdata%\bitcoin

thanx, subhuman  Wink

You are going to feel sorry if you already deleted that folder from the recycle bin...
Have fun downloading the entire blockchain again.
Incredible that between the solutions people described you picked the one that would do more than just fix your problem...
5443  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: scammed when selling bitcoins on ebay on: March 05, 2012, 04:03:18 PM
I can't say I feel sorry for you. Nor should anyone else.
Your first sentence on the OP described it very well!
5444  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: lost passphrase of bitcoin wallet on: March 05, 2012, 02:37:07 PM
Your only solutions are:

- Delete that wallet and it will create a new one, which in this case is OK because you don't have any coins there
- Remember the passphrase and decrypt it

Offering Legal Services in the Republic of Panama for people who would like to relocate, branch out or establish themselves in Panama.

Nice. I'll probably contact you one of these days to get some info about incorporating and opening a bank account in Panama.
Good to know you accept BTC Wink

I swear that on my most recent avatar change I was going also to change my tagline to "Matthew is the new Atlas!"... Not because I suspect that he really is "Boss" but because he's behaving like Atlas lol

I'm a child on a computer pushing buttons. What is this. I don't even.

LMFAO

what actions can we take?

Not sure. Besides not sending money there I don't know what else we can do.

If someone wants his personal email to try and reach him just PM me, altho I mailed him on the day the problems started to happen and am yet to get a reply.

libcoin, my main point wasn't about the fixed rate. I think the main detractor is that you would be responsible, or the merchants who decide to accept bitcoin, to refund with hard currency, Euros in the case, anyone who wanted to sell bitcoins. Or are you thinking that the only bitcoins mechants would need to be responsible to give the money back are the ones that are actually sold? It could be fairly easy to do that, at least on the "bitcoin gift card" sellers side, given that all the addresses and respective balances are public and available on the block explorer sites. I'm just uncertain how merchants themselves, as the last link on chain, would deal with it.

It was nice of you to give the gift card example. Now i have one more way to look at it with my accountant, one which I haven't thought of before.

Sorry if what I wrote is confusing, English is not my native language and I'm certain some things just get lost in translation. Smiley
5449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The problem of stolen coins on: March 05, 2012, 11:26:48 AM
seems like whenever i hear of a large bitcoin theft it always has the common factor of the coins being stored online somewhere as in an exchange, pool, etc.  don't want your coins stolen?  learn how to protect them yourself. its not that hard.   some people have just got to learn the hard way.  happened to me with paypal.  they froze my account, with thousands of dollars in it, and i don't even know if or when i will see a dime of that money. but you can rest assured that i will never use paypal again in my life.

180 days after your account gets suspended Paypal will mail you a check with the ammount that was left there. I hope you didn't use a fake address Smiley

Who simply decided for London just now? I thought it'd be in Berlin this year? November/December is quite late. The only reason to do it then is b/c of the location and the olympics. London is too expensive if you're not a member of the Rothschild family or in a position of mainstream economics. I thought bitcoin was for everyman/woman

At the end of the day it's the speakers who make this decision. I guess you can organise another conference in Berlin, but maybe the speakers who are going to talk in London won't do both.

Good point. Speakers are more important than audience.

Is my sarcasm detector broken?

This is the dumbest fucking idea I’ve ever heard of! Only stupid fucking cocksuckers like you could come up with something this goddamn retarded.

I tried to tell fuck turd, notme, that this is a shitty idea, but he told me that when he was no longer out of pocket, he was going to start this thread. I truly tried to stop the shithead from doing this, but now that the fuckin' thing is up, albeit till only the end of this God-Damn year, let's populate this retard Time Capsule of his. In 2016, when it's opened, we'll all have a mother fuckin' belly laugh.

~Bruno~

Or probably we'll just feel fuckin' embarassed...

Don't you mean Bitcoin Lisbon 2012? It's happening in June - July...  Roll Eyes





PS: It's just a joke for the one's complaining about the weather. It may also be a suggestion if someone is willing to take it Wink
5454  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin and VAT in the EU on: March 04, 2012, 11:08:07 PM
Correcting what I said before - just found this decision from the Danish TAX authorities:

http://www.skat.dk/SKAT.aspx?oID=1537916

It states that a gift card is not considered a payment for goods before it is used. In the example mentioned in the link when a customer buys a gift card in a Danish shop the shop should not add VAT on it. The customer can then use the gift card in a Swedish shop for buying a pair of boots or to get his money back (!). It is only the Swedish shop that should deduce VAT from selling the boots.

So - gift cards are not barter...

The bolded part... That's the problem. Bitcoins would have to have a fixed value for that to happen. And everybody who would accept bitcoins would have to accept to pay back money for them for whoever wanted.
That would be nice in one way. Everyone would be an exchanger. But I'm not sure Bitcoin really is meant to be like that.
I can see the advantages of using such a system, I just don't see it happening. Who wants to take the risk of offering $x for each current and future bitcoin in existence?
5455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: i thought transaction fees are optional? on: March 04, 2012, 05:33:17 AM
You are not wrong. And the software is not wrong.

One of 2 things happened:

Those .15 BTC were composed mainly from a lot of small amounts
Those BTC were on you wallet for less that a couple days

Or maybe a combination of both those reasons.

I'm having trouble finding where I said he told anyone where he held his wallet....

http://help.bitcoinica.com/kb/faq/how-secure-bitcoinica-is

2nd para, 2nd sentence: "... And more importantly, we don't even operate a Bitcoin wallet, which means that hackers have nothing to steal. ..."

Priceless!

Wish I also had "nothing" to steal...   Roll Eyes

Nothing but the payment functions need to have been hosted there. Zhou made a grave mistake by not collocating as he was advised to do by DCAO representatives when he first joined. He held the belief that there was bigger chance of outside security threats or single collocation operator trust issues than with major companies.

Are you going to tell me that when he described the part about less trust issues with major companies he didn't mentioned the company he was using? c'mon... Roll Eyes

Uhh. Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling you.

We were having a discussion related to collocation vs cloud in regards to general security for bitcoin applications.

I believe you.
