yes this my account
i have login and password but my probleme this :
Private Key Needed

This action requires the private key of bitcoin address 158MowJAS4AyJe1QEZu57tAhWKYUlnZE. Please enter the private key below.

If you can log into blockchain.info, then you can get the private keys in that wallet. But before you do that, please read this:

There is no legitimate reason to give a private key to anyone else.
5902  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: please help me on: January 28, 2015, 01:07:08 AM
You can log into blockchain.info from any computer. You need your account id and password. If you don't have those, then one of the backup options might solve your problem, assuming that you backed up your blockchain.info wallet, of course.

If you don't have any of that information, then maybe you can take your disk to a recovery expert and have them retrieve the information, even though the OS has been uninstalled.

If not, then there is nothing you can do. The money is lost -- forever.

I am looking to pick up a Casascius 5 BTC silver coin.  Please message me with a reasonable asking price, thanks...

I'm pretty sure they don't exist. Are you referring to the nickel-plated 5 BTC coin?
5904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would an exchange handle a reorg? on: January 27, 2015, 05:21:23 PM
Say someone deposits 10 BTC, with 6 confirmations and immediately places a sell. Someone else buys them and withdraws quickly.
After sometime a reorg invalidates the initial 10 BTC tx. What is the right way to handle this?

A transaction with 6 confirmations is not likely to be invalidated, but it would be a major hassle for the exchange. The exchange would lose 10 BTC unless the sender pays again. It is possible that some withdrawals or other transactions would then be invalidated and those would have to be paid again.
5905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BurtW arrested on: January 27, 2015, 05:21:10 AM
Of course there is more then that. The indictment even says that he was transmitting money to further criminal activity, so it is known claimed that he was supposedly allegedly selling to people trying claiming to commit illegal activity and admitting to as much.  

FTFY.


Trendon Shavers fallout. The feds like to turn one case into as many as possible, there's probably emails between the two they saw while building the ponzi charges so they grabbed him as well. 35 fed agents is overkill for a petty localbitcoins sting.
I don't think it has anything to do with the ponzi passthrough he was running. It was not mentioned in the indictment. They wouldn't have even needed to raid his house to get evidence against him for this anyway.

It has been suggested that the Pirate ponzi scheme is the illegal activity referenced in the indictment.
5906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: flatscreen tv on: January 27, 2015, 05:10:15 AM
but another principle is innovation especially in a unexplored relatively free market environment, likewise of how the internet grew, overrules old less effective content of the market.

so how do any of us expect the bitcoin to rise in value over long term when there is so much innovative competition that could add attributes in a new blockchain which would out-date bitcoin in efficiency in every way?

Your point is valid, but it is hard to predict what will happen. Without an obvious successor to Bitcoin, I think your concerns are premature.
5907  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CEX.IO Suspends Cloud Mining............. on: January 26, 2015, 09:00:39 AM
That's pretty silly as the maths will show that cloud mining is more profitable for most people.

I would like to see those maths. From what I have seen, the investor, for the most part, has had a choice of either unprofitable or ponzi scheme.

I posted this the other day:

If you can get legitimate cloud mining contracts for cheaper than the cost of a physical miner, then you'd also make a profit from cloud mining too.

You could currently buy 1700 Gh/s of AMHash off Havelock for less than 0.00097499 BTC/Gh, so less than 1.657483 BTC for 1700 Gh.
AMHash charges 0.001551 USD/Gh/day for maintenance. For 1700 Gh, that's 2.6367 USD.

An SP20 is currently selling for 479 USD. At 235 USD/BTC, that's 2.03829787 BTC. You also need to pay for shipping and a PSU.
The SP20 does 1700 Gh/s (customers say about 1500-1600) and consumes 1200 W.
That gives 0.00119900 BTC/Gh and 28.8 kWh used daily.
With an electricity cost of 0.1 USD/kWh, that gives a daily running cost of 2.88 USD.

The SP20 can also be underclocked to 1176 Gh/s using 639W.
That gives 0.00173325 BTC/Gh and 1.54 USD daily running cost or 0.001310 USD/Gh/day.

You are more likely to profit from legitimate cloud mining than you are from mining bitcoins at home or even if you get you miner hosted.

I was unaware. I stand corrected, though I suspect it might be an anomaly.

It seems to me that every time Bitcointalk goes down, the exchange rate goes up 20%. The effect is clear. We should make sure that Bitcointalk goes away and never comes back.
5909  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cant find anyone face to face trade BTC! Help on: January 26, 2015, 08:15:07 AM
because they are all getting arrested like Burt W
Love it when idiots keep speculating BurtW's arrest. Without any info, yet they claimed he got arrested for selling bitcoins!
These idiots are exactly the one who assume law from hearsay rather than knowing the law itself.
Media did a great job again..... showing how dumb general public is.

No need to speculate. The charges are in the indictment. Two are for selling bitcoins without a license and one is for money laundering.

Are you from Florida?  I take it you understand FL law?  Under what statutes was he charged?

Not Florida -- Colorado.

https://blockchain.info/charts/n-unique-addresses -  around of 150K unique address used

That's 150k unique addresses per day. Either way there is very little information about the number of users that you can infer from the number of addresses -- now that most wallets create a new address for every transaction.

5912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Coinbase be Americas Major Exchange? on: January 26, 2015, 12:29:17 AM
I think Coinbase is already America's major exchange. I have yet to find an exchange that is even close in design, usability, and security.

Cheesy

Well, it isn't an exchange yet. That will happen tomorrow. It is important to understand the difference. At an exchange, buyers and sellers are competing for the best price. At Coinbase, they set the price to whatever they want and it won't be the best price for you. I'm glad that Circle appeared because the competition is forcing Coinbase to give its customers better prices.
5913  Economy / Economics / Re: The Bathtub Theory of Economics on: January 26, 2015, 12:08:14 AM
I don't know if the author of the article misunderstands or misrepresented the theorem, or if the theorem is flawed. Anyway,

Quote
The incoming and outgoing flow of water ultimately determines the water level and stability of the bathtub.

The incoming and outgoing flows don't determine the level, they determine the rate of change in the level. For example, if the incoming flow is 2 gallons per minute and the outgoing flow is 1 gallon per minute, then the level of the water in the bathtub will rise at the rate of 1 gallon per minute, regardless of the level.

Cant find anyone face to face cash on Local BTC, where else can one look, all the people insisted to keep things digital, I understand its a digital currency but I miss the BTC meetups and need to buy at a awkward time and can't find anyone local, surprisingly even being in this miny "Bitcoin City" Madeira Beach, St.Pete Florida

If you know anyone please let me know


The Mycelium wallet also has a trading feature.

Well that is kind of a problem see, what happens if someone is running a big illegal ring and comes into contact with hundreds of thousands of bitcoins?  All of those bitcoins can be traced back to criminal transactions and then be seized... This could be any fraction of a bitcoin that comes into your possesion, aside from newly minted blocks.

Bitcoins cannot be seized without the private key.

What I meant by that is you can get money seized if it is suspected of being used in a criminal way and such I am sure the police would be more than willing to do the same with BTC. Such as what they did with the silk road bitcoins.

Regardless, they cannot seize any bitcoins without the private key. They were somehow able to obtain the SR private keys, most likely because the wallet was unencrypted or they had its encryption key.

At no time did he say that creditors were going to get all their money back. He only said that he believed that there would be resolution and that they would get paid in 2015. Also, not all the Mt. Gox assets disappeared. Creditors could get 25% maybe.

I could buy a 25$ Pre-paid card, but I only need 0.011 BTC, wich is approx 2.6$ at the moment, not really worth it to buy a pre-paid card, + you need to be the activation fee of the pre-paid.

If anyone wants to donate you can do it here tho, i'll accept everything, really. o.o
13jiwn8QWUpxaHX3KvwvD2Gz4rCXq6m1pE

Begging is not appreciated here, but if you send me $3 cash in the mail, I'll send you 0.011 BTC.

Even better, if you go to a local bitcoin meetup in your area, I'm sure somebody will sell you 0.011 BTC for cash.
