Ahh ok that makes a hell of a lot more sense. It does seem like a very small issue though as that's not even a 1% increase in size. At the risk of sounding like a newb, are there other differences like this in other 'normal' bitcoin addresses? If I generate 2 random addresses and they each have the same number of inputs I always assumed they would both be the same size in bytes.

Thank you very much!


Thanks for stopping by. Stay longer next time to learn a little bit. Clearly generating vanity addresses has zero affect on transaction fees.

You signature spammers crack me up...

Could someone direct me to where exactly this lifeboat vanitygen is? Can I download it from github or am I missing something? Also could you link me to where it's explained what is does/if it's different/why it's better? Googling just keeps coming up with reddit post after reddit post but no real information for me... Sorry for the newb questions rofl.

Lol well that didn't take long. I guess you felt threatened so it was time for the end game right? You are officially painted red. We'll be waiting around for your new alt. Feel free to leave though! That would be a much welcomed change for the better.

Sorry guys, I really thought I was getting email notifications for this thread! Gah!!!

I would have to assume these would work with any phones because they're just for a regular 3.5mm headphone jack.

Also, no I'd rather not wait another year hahahahahaha! 2017 is when these are going to sell .

I'll get a quote for both of you.

After a year these are still for sale! What a wild year it's been...

I can do pretty much whatever Linux distribution you'd like, for example I have both a 32bit and a 64bit Linux mint 18.1 USB currently. I can also give an in depth guide for starting up a live USB (no hard drive even needed in the computer)! Mint is a little more user friendly for Windows users IMO.

I got a vouch .edu email and it looks like it was created this past Friday. I haven't had time to look into what kind of discounts or perks I can get with it yet but I'll be trying some things out soon. I'll update this once I'm able to do some tests in that regard.

Much thanks to dzairy for the vouch copy!

I'll take a vouch copy for the .edu email. Are you making them fresh or do I just get any random email you currently have in stock? I'm interested to see if it will work for the unlimited google drive offer.

I tried coinbase for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to get a $10 referral bonus and so was the person who referred me. Neither of us got the bonus, I've had an automated response (After about a week) asking if it was still an issue (obviously it is, this is your first contact with me!) and then after saying yes it's still an issue it was almost another week until I got yet another automated response. Long story short, I didn't get my $10 bonus. I don't recommend a company that literally screws up the first transaction with a client. If they screwed up and got it to me, whatever. Mistakes happen. What they did though is blamed me the client and said that I must have doe something wrong.

Stay away from coinbase. I don't trust them whatsoever. Hopefully my usual exchange comes back up but they seem to be having some issues at the moment so couldn’t really recommend them either!

In terms of what wallets I use: Paper wallets made on any sort of live system (Ex: Ubuntu Live CD or USB) for large amounts of funds and Mycelium for my hot wallets. You can also add watch only addresses so you can keep an eye on your cold storage bitcoins (or anyone elses bitcoins for that matter!)

I keep getting a 502 error. This happened a few times the other day (Sunday maybe? I can't remember) but it wasn't as bad as today. It just took me 15 minutes to log in.

All three at the exact same time need to have a minimum of a 0.2% rate by noon on Tuesday. I think we'll see a lot less volume from Chinese exchanges starting.... NOW!

Trust farming. I hope I'm wrong, but when it comes to bitcointalk scams I usually see them a mile away.


That's where the big money is. Thanks for confirming. Your account has 56 activity so you've been here about 2 months (on this account). Everyone knows PayPal can be charged back until 180 days (most likely more if it's fraud). That argument is irrelevant. A Ponzi owner won't scam after 2 months, he'll scam after 2 years once he has people's life savings.

Anyways, I guess you're not about to come clean with who you really are so this isn't going to go anywhere until more evidence is found.

If there isn't any then great, but don't think for a second that us people on bitcointalk are going to take our tinfoil hats off. Everyone wants to steal our bitcoins!

100% agree on that comment Lauda. Regardless of whether this person is Robertt or not the trust farming and trust loans are so blatantly obvious that I would never ever deal with this user. Right from the get go they hit the ground running and knew exactly what to post and how the forum worked in it's entirety. I have also assumed it was Robertt but of it isn't hey, better safe than sorry.

If you're Robertt then everyone will be glad this post surfaced. If you're not then great, who's alt are you? If you come clean then there's really no reason not to trust you (other than the obvious loan trust farming. How you got a 0.08BTC loan as a Jr. Member is beyond me. The lenders here better check their lending policies before they get burned again.)

They all seem to use the thunderbolt. I'm sure there's a way to do it (maybe the cable mentioned below?) But it's well outside of my relm of understanding. I just opened up my first laptop this week haha.


Am I sure? Nope. It's an acer V3-571-6447. I've googled it but all I could find is that it doesn't have one. That could be wrong as I haven't actually popped it open to check. Even if I did I don't know what I'm looking for so I'd have to google that too haha.

Ya I figured out the external GPU won't work for this laptop. Oh well. I got everything else that I wanted (more actually) and I'm installing an optical drive hdd caddy when it arrives in the mail. I'll probably dual boot Linux mint and windows 8 or 10.

I went ahead and did the survey, some questions I skipped over (I'd rather not disclose how many bitcoins I have) but I answered the important ones. Haha no we don't all use bitcoins for drugs. People that do CLEARY have no clue about bitcoins. It's a public ledger. Why would I want everyone in the world to be able to see when I bought illicit drugs!? Cash works much better haha but you won't see those statistics on the mainstream media.

If I go and buy a legendary account for 0.01BTC with no signed message and it turns out to be hacked, should I be allowed to keep that account? I can tell you what's going to happen. The original owner of the account signs a message in a  to Theymos and the account is stripped from me. Why did it happen to me? I didn't get the signed message.

It's called dollar cost averaging and it's a great way to invest over the longterm. It actually mitigates your risk because you avoid putting a lot of money in all at once. You'll see a steadier fluctuation with your funds rather than huge spikes up and down.

I just bought some more bitcoins for the long-haul!

Absolutely there is a spot here for you! I'd say don't sell yourself short (so don't charge a small amount to try and earn a little) and really show what you can do. Open up a thread under Services and people will test you out. A lot of people are looking for full time jobs so there's a ton of competition. If you're good at what you do you'll have success though.

Also look out for contests where people are looking for the best designs. Even if you don't win it's a good way to show off your work. If someone else prefers your work they may hire you for another project.
