I don't know. I think soneome that hacked my email or bruteforce my pass, since i used one weak to open account there  For precaution i already changed my email password and the forum password too. No, you didn't. Get help! |

Is there a guide on how to do so? I am a non techy person and would be interested in knowing more about it.
The post from dabura667 above (#6) is probably about the closest thing to a guide that you'll ever get. Anyone doing this would be doing it for the beauty of the challenge, and at least descent skills in math/crypto/CS is a prerequisite. With all due respect, I wouldn't start such an adventure if you are a non-techy person as you say, unless you are totally immune to frustration  |

This would also create massive amounts of spam with people asking to be tipped for their shitty posts and people begging others who have been generous in the past
I don't want to be off-topic or controversial, but IMHO allowing paid signature campaigns already generates much more spam and shitty posts than the tipping incentive would. As DaRude says, tipping is a nice feature and practical use of Bitcoin, and abuse should be dealt with the usual way by moderators. |

As discussed on the 'New forum software' board: I've thought about that before, but I think that there might be legal problems with that. It might make the forum a "money transmitter".
AFAIK Theymos didn't specifically comment about using ChangeTip itself though (to avoid the money transmitter issue) |

I'm 100% in US dollars at the moment. I'll get back in once the price is right.
Like I said - I have 50% of my crypto wealth in BTC. I have skin in the game.
So you have 100% USD, 50% BTC, and 0% credibility  And why would exchanges shut down if the price collapses anyway? They're collecting fees no matter what... |

Throttling the motion of money by making it expensive to move smells authoritarian/elitist to me.
I don't know about authoritarian, but elitists, I believe that's exactly what they are. I don't even think they would object to being called just that. Did you read Trilema? Not making any judgment here, but I believe it needs to be pointed out to understand their point of view. Or maybe I just belong to idiots |

Destroyed? Ils sont détruits?
Non, CDD = Coin Days Destroyed, c'est un terme trompeur. Les bitcoins ne sont pas détruits, il faut comprendre qu'ils reposaient à une adresse X pendant longtemps (accumulant des "Coin Days") et qu'ils ont été fraîchement déplacés/envoyés vers une nouvelle adresse Y (les "Coin Days" ont été "Destroyed"). Comme sous-entendu par Meuh6879, CDD est une métrique pour mesurer l'ampleur des mouvements de coins sur une période donnée. |

lol, that talk. Bitcoin is a pump and dump coin itself. You bitcoiners are really scared of those other coins, aren't you?
They can just move faster, can't they? And they are mushrooming too. You must be sweating every night over altcoins. Particularly with that many problems btc has. Looks increasingly like a shitcoin with a community with just slighlty higher IQ and rethorical skills.
Bitcoin lost its untouchable status as you went off your holy exponential curve and you know it well.
Off topic... go back to the trollbox on BTC-e already. As far as I'm concerned couldn't care less about the price at this stage. |

Ofcourse you can but can't use it, but if you need a phrase in it, then you use vanity generator to generator bitcoin addresses like
1bitstampisback821hjdnbj232fmk2f23nfjk
I think OP implied creating a valid address, i.e. generating a valid public/private ECDSA keypair and the rest of the algorithm described above, not just a bogus address (vanity or not) with a valid checksum. And yes, you can use it, although you would have to import the key into a client for practical purpose, unless you want to compute and process every message with pen and paper too, and use something like netcat as your network client |

Centralization, you unable to store the complete blockchain. 20MB blocks.
May I remind (or teach) you that as long as there aren't more transactions trying to get into the blockchain than it can accommodate, the size of the blockchain will NOT be affected by the max. block size? i.e. it's the total number of tx that matters, and not how they are spread across the blocks? Did you understand that 20MB is a maximum and not a nominal size for each block? Hardfork without consensus on it. Risk a split of the network. What's going to happen next?
So what exactly is Gavin trying to do if not trying to reach consensus with his blog post? Did you read it? Did you fully understand it? |

We know roughly 20% of the hash rate is of unknown origin. Does anyone else know if MP controls or has controlling interest any known pools?
He never made such a claim AFAIK, and even if he had 20% of the hashrate, that still wouldn't be quite enough to cause serious trouble, would it? This thread would be so much more fun if MPOE-PR was still around.
Why, are you missing the big boobs?  Seriously, I don't get the point of his reluctance, i.e. why he makes such a big deal about it. Not that I care a lot, to be perfectly honest. Back in the days, Luke-jr also had some reluctance regarding newer versions of bitcoind, but IIRC they were a little more / better substantiated... and *he* was running a pool, unlike MP. |

^^^^^
You two didn't get the point of the thread.
Too bad.
Ah, yes, my bad. Let me guess: not hating, just trolling? Or do you seriously believe your friends from the interwebs needed education? |

Energy usage of the network is a far, far bigger issue (i.e. question 1., which feeds into question 3.)
Fair enough. Still, I'm not sure that you have understood Greg Maxwell's answer when he explained that the number (volume) of transactions does not affect the overall power usage of miners. "Mining" a block and confirming 0, 100, or 100 million transactions within that block does not affect power usage (or just marginally in the case of really huge volumes; for the sake of clarity, I will leave the blockchain size / storage problems aside here -- not denying these!). Right now, the amount of energy used by mining might arguably be uneconomical or disproportionate because of the relatively high subsidy of 25 BTC per block until next halving, and the block reward is huge compared to the total fees of the transactions included in that block. However, the rapid decrease of block reward on the long run (half-life is 4 years) means that the main retribution for miners will eventually come from transaction fees instead, creating an economical equilibrium (i.e. supply vs demand) between the power costs of mining and the fees from transactions, i.e. the total cost of consumed energy will have to be paid by transaction fees. I will concede that it's not easy to understand these concepts, and I'm not pretending Bitcoin is flawless. A lot of issues are still to be solved, but I don't feel like they are exactly the ones that you mentioned in your OP. |

Thanks for enlightening us about tulip mania, as it had never been mentioned before... |

The average consumer and the average retailer don't care about the techie geeky stuff that you find so important. They want an instant exchange that works.
And they do have it. Instant transactions that are safe enough for everyday's expenses. Only you here seem to fail to understand how it works. Greg Maxwell, one of the most active and senior Bitcoin Core dev, has taken quite a bit of his precious time to explain it, repeatedly. IMHO you seem to be here more to push an unsubstantiated claim that Bitcoin is impractical and cannot compete with traditional means of payments (i.e. credit/debit cards and/or cash) than to educate yourself. Your condescendance regarding 'the techie geeky stuff that [we] find so important', considering that you started yourself a technical discussion in the 'Development & Technical Discussion' section, can only reinforce that suspicion. What exactly is your point here? |

Hors-sujet : dans mycelium (android), il n'y a aucun fichier ... on donne les 12 mots et ça récupère le wallet (depuis un téléphone neuf).
C'est également le cas d'Electrum d'après l'article (" Electrum uses a type 2 deterministic key generation algorithm. This means that all the keys are derived from a seed"). Mais la question était "si Electrum venait à cesser d'exister", ab absurdo, puisque GPLv3 tout ça... |
|

Dans Electrum, il faut exporter les clés privées correspondant à chaque adresse du wallet: $ ./electrum dumpprivkeys
Password:
{
"1LGoehbyeX4QBEPK1a6dhyaoMQZfqg5LKX": "5JBSttEGhjEcPidSovW66Rin2EZ6LEHZ2qx8Pu2RqqNaDTBVWaF"
"1KcsBJa2cCxVkGJfSsg5bUeXN7Y5uLa8mP": "5KiP4uiNT6KG8jnXbainCM8rDWRrgxt3PAyut4FFpDoCo1Rh6VM"
"1PXsn7LVXTccGhJPTUL8r2EGB4fF9kvex3": "5Kj8mvBJReyk8xEBMx5cTnciQCxto5JmudiTPkqwMcd61Kf1Jqc"
"1KteSFTAphyByLTtUfFiVQ9s7fMVmx7c2h": "5JeZ3FTbWcksLt3PKydd5U9p952UQRHwv3LoxzCA9LZ7V2bku5p"
"1GE5ZChAobeTEPLHDCDDKTSg3XvLkcQFjS": "5JwtGEygTwF2nouhRVzW3w5DWZd1sCgxLtnd1v51wjkbUrp5sqH"
"12YNehfAoYTiwjTXULwaZqTCauu2D61fq6": "5Jvcq19ePCXKcVun4n7US99CsrEByUK2kgxXBA3rBVBqYZjhfwD" [change]
} Tu peux ensuite ré-importer chaque clé privée dans n'importe quel (autre -- ou pas) client Bitcoin doté de la fonction d'importation ad-hoc, c'est-à-dire tout client Bitcoin qui se respecte (qu'il soit natif ou par interface web comme blockchain.info). Comme le nom l'indique, les clés privées sont privées, attention de les conserver à l'abri ! Clé USB en lieu sûr, papier dans un coffre (la re-saisie sera toutefois fastidieuse), etc. N'importe qui mettant la main dessus pourra faire ce qu'il veut des bitcoins à ces adresses. Une sécurité supplémentaire consiste à encrypter ces clés avec une pass-phrase, qu'il ne faudra pas oublier... Remarques : - Contrairement à ce qu'il te semble, le fichier wallet d'Electrum est bien stocké localement sur ton DD (voir Wallet File sur la même page)
- Selon le logiciel utilisé pour ré-importer les clés, il est possible qu'un changement de base soit nécessaire, ci-dessus la sortie est en base58, elle pourrait être par ex. en base64

Pen and paper, calculator etc...
As long as it's not made by an application.
OK yeah then just look up 'How to create Bitcoin Address' on the Wiki page linked above. |
|
|

What does 'manually' mean, pen and paper only? Basically, creating an address means creating a public/private key pair and encoding the pubkey to base58. So of course it can be done, at least theoretically, with pen and paper only. See Technical background of version 1 Bitcoin addresses (Bitcoin Wiki) |
