I saw that change already. Making 4000 quality posts in a month is quite a mission impossible in my view. I think you are then going to posts a message because of this service, and not because of your interest.

We'll see how this month goes.
I once managed to make 2000 posts in one month without spamming, though that was a long time ago. It was the summer holidays and I spent most of the day (and sometimes night) posting. Managed to make 800 in the first 2 weeks and another 1200 in the last ones. But 4000? Man, you have to have some mad posting skills to get to that tier. Or maybe take this as a day job? Every day, for 8 hours, except for the weekends, you post. Then it might be possible.

Haha. You're own fault for starting it!
Yeah, buddy. Shouldn't have even thought of that, yet alone posting here. Don't write anything on the internet you're not prepared to get ridiculed.

They're vulnarable to manual override. With all the techies around, it won't be safe to use due to slight vulnerability that may lead to random hostility.

20 seconds is the current record?

hmmm, maybe we could have a site that monitor and ranks block solving time lol. Interesting to know.
Blockchain.info might have some hidden away chart. They have charts for almost everything, so they gotta have one for time lapses between 2 blocks.

good that bitcoin is taken more seriously now Cheesy
Until you can't go to a random store in the end of the world and find out they accept BTC, it won't be considered more seriously. Although this is positive exposure.

Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about it. We've trusted far worse people with far greater things.
Yeah, like we trusted Stalin with USSR, Hitler with Germany...

Was just coming here to complain that I can't withdraw... seems I've completely missed the drama in this thread! Anyone got a TLDR version of events?
Hasn't logged for quite some time, didn't refill the wallet, panic all round, refilled it, some people quickly withdrew their earnings, panic again. That's pretty much it.

Ah thanks. I'll try not to panic just yet then, although I do think people are justified in their "panic" withdrawals.
No problem. Been back hanging around this thread since the ruckus started. So far pretty interesting, just itnslowed down in the past week.

Regarding No. 2, the money goes to the US treasury.

quick google said ur prob right (im from eu so not familiar with all the ins and outs)

However us treasury websites says, :
Treasury Auctions
 Each year approximately 300 public auctions are conducted throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico to sell property forfeited as a result of violations of federal law enforced by the Department of the Treasury or nonpayment of Internal Revenue Service taxes.

So then i would say the FBI would have to hand over the actual bitcoins to the Treasury for them to auction them off.. and fbi itself would have no say in the actual bitcoin wallet....or no? =)
FBI complete orders, they can't say anything or do anything unrelated to security without the government's agreement. So if the gov tells them, they obey. BTW, I'm from EU, so I'm not a pro in these kind of situations as well.

Seems pretty awesome. Now to make some device that forms feelings you're holding something when you aren't to make people be able to control the weapons using their hands.

Actually from what i gather its close to 120mil $ in bitcoins.
But i dont think they can sell m just yet. One of the downsizes of being the FBI is that you have to act according to the law. (at least when the general public is watching)

The owner of Silk Road, the one they siezed the coins from for illegal web drugsselling (how stupid Smiley) Anyway, he is starting up a lawsuit vs them to get back his coins claiming that he did not get them from the drugs. So that being part one, they cannot just sell it as a judge might (unlikely but might) rule in favor, so they you owe a debt. #1 why i dont think they can sell..

#2 yet to be determined who gets the money when sold. Cannot just go into the FBI, that would be illegal obtained drug money (their words) so eveidance, and govermnemnt cannot just take drug money and put it into their own account, has to go trough the proper channels..

My bet is itll take some time before they even have a battle plan, let alone get every1 to sign along with it... ofc i could be wrong, opinions after all

Pretty nice. Now to make a mod that makes them into currency to be used in-game. Any MC modders around here? Grin

They will be sold in bulk at a discount auction. No need to worry. This is actually a good thing because it removes uncertainty.

So once sold, it'll probably be a good time to invest due to the temporary drop of price?

If they are sold in bulk to private buyer(s), the price will be unaffected.

Unless he dumps it to an exchange, which someone, who might not know how BTC properly works, might do. You never know who would win the auction.
5859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Woah, block solved in 20 seconds by Slush's pool. on: January 17, 2014, 09:30:28 PM
20 seconds? I've seen blocks a few seconds apart in the past.

Every block gets solved in 20 seconds.  Think I am wrong?  You don't understand math.

For each block, go to a moment in time 20 seconds prior to its solution.  At that moment, the network has accomplished zero progress on the impending solution.  However, in the coming 20 seconds - it finds a solution.

A solution doesn't get easier as time passes doesn't depend upon.  The network doesn't advance and close in on a solution as the clock ticks. 

The same error in statistics is made for those people who think that 10 rolls of a die without getting a '6' increases the chance that a '6' will come next.  It doesn't.  The chance of rolling a '6' is the same whether or not 10 non-'6's occurred previously.

The state of the miners 20 seconds prior to a solution is identical to the state of miners which have been working for one hour.  Thus, the probability that a solution will come in 20 seconds is identical for the case where a solution was just found, and for when the miners have been working a long time.  Miners having been working a long time do not increase the probability that a solution will come in the next 20 seconds.  Thus, every block was solved in 20 seconds - it is just 20 seconds prior to the moment the solution came. 

Idiots - find it incredible that a block was solved in 20 seconds - they all are.
So according to your logic a block was actually in 0 seconds. However, we're not here to explore meanings of used terminology, we're here to discuss the small amount of time between 2 blocks being found.

Why is it a scam? A scam is an operation which takes away ones possesions against their will through deceptive methods.

You already gave the very definition of every internet gambling service in existence.
A good gambling service just skims enough money off its addicts using different smoke screens/deceptons and complex algorithms to preserve the illusion of fair play and make them return even after losses.
That's how these services make money, due to math (stochastic) that's the only way without running openly visible fees.

If you believe there's a mathematically non-tilted, non-rigged BTC gambling service out there - sorry to break this to you, but there isn't. To even consider otherwise would be downright naive.
The entire gambling industry out there serves only one purpose : find fools with that addiction and skin them (some more, some less), that's what it's all about.

Short of the kinky / SM industry, it's the biggest industrialized abuse of customers in the world, so to speak. Definitely the oldest of them.

The millenia old saying doesn't exist for no reason : gamblers are fools (because they volunteer to be taken advantage of)
Arguably, one could call it a "fee" for their entertainment, but the only incentive of gambling service operators has only been money - since the dawn of time...
There are provably fair systems and if they're the actual thing (as in they can actually be used to verify the results) and if used in conjunction to choosing your own client key, it isn't rigged. Yes, the whole mathematical method is created for the casinos in the end to win, but it's the people's choice to try fighting for some short-term gain.
