Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean science hasn't explained it. It just means you don't understand it. When religious people say that the human eye is so complex it must be formed by god, it just means that they aren't smart enough to go research how it formed over time. Oddly enough, you're just as clueless how your smart phone works, but you don't think god made it for some reason.

Put your mininer in a garage or shed so the fire cant spread?
Ha, that's not a serious suggestion is it? |

Banks all stole the money from us anyway, so anytime you use the ATM you're receiving stolen goods.

So he wrote a script to generate a (relatively) small and predictable number of keys that he then "cracks" to prove his program works. Of course because the number of keys that he can crack is something like 1/1e39 of the number of possible keys there's literally no chance he can crack an address that has anything in it to steal. So instead he sells his program for 2 BTC, if he even sells 1 copy then he'll have more BTC than if he had actually used his program.

On re-use of addresses.
I can think of a few scenarios where one must re-use addresses. Lets say for example Wikipedia decides to accept donations in Bitcoin. They put up a donation address. Should they generate a new donation address every time someone visits the donation link? They probably should from a security point of view. Seems inconvenient for donators that have saved the address in their address book.
Cash out every week? month? to coinbase and change the donation address at that time. |

You're just trying to increase your own value by decreasing others. Why are you so selfish?

This is how they think. If I look into myself and believe it it must be true. Climate change is a hoax because that's how I feel. I don't feel vaccines are safe, my kid will be magically protected from smallpox. God exists because I feel him.
There's no need to reason with these people, they go off what they feel, not what has been proven.

Just keep the private keys in a text file. You don't need to import them to receive bitcoins, they're always able to receive bitcoins.

You just need a text file for vanitygen addresses, not a wallet.

No. You can lie about the coins having been stolen, and if you've stolen the private key, you can claim to be the owner.
Yes, that's my point. |
|
|
|
|
How about this: if your coins are stolen, to prove that you're the true owner, just sign a message using the private key of that address saying you were robbed. simple!

It may be possible to do it on a programmable calculator, but those are really computers, so I'd say no. You can probably generate a private key without a computer, but it's too hard to calculate the address.

I'll buy 10, but you have to send first.

Look, all you need is a log-free, virus-free, ultrasonic magic communication-free, SHA calculator, along with hopefully a random number generator (although random numbers can be generated "manually" if need be). That can be an old computer, whatever. I still think in the future there will be dedicated hardware that physically CAN'T get a virus, though.
Yep, that's exactly the Trezor. |

No need, if the machine is offline. It can have trojans up the wazoo but if they can't talk to the controller, then they're useless.
Unless it was really sneaky and inserted its own wallet.dat, so that you sent it your coins. Ok, fine, that's a point. But just for the sake of counterpoint, the wallet can be derived from the seed. So, if simply check that the seed leads to that private key, you should be fine. Sure, but if they insert their own seed... And then there's the ultrasonic magic communication the NSA does... Just reformat  But then there's the low level bios... Better to build it from scratch, get a CPU fab shop in your garage |

You could setup a shared drive with the batch file or address. Either run the batch file directly or pipe the address file to the cgminer options.

That's why you should install it on an unused computer or dual boot to a usb drive.

This is how it works:
Say a site makes $10 off of the ads you click and whatever you do. They will purchase $0.10 worth of bitcoins and send that to you.

No I wouldn't accept them. I check the serial number of every dollar bill in my wallet against the national database of stolen money (Library of Laundering). The LOL also tracks terrorist funds digitally and I refuse to take that. Unfortunately it means I send most of my paycheck back and I'm totally broke.
LOL L.O.L. What happens with regard to tainted electrons that power the banking system? :-) I split them into quarks and see if any of them are clean, otherwise I throw out the lot of them. On a serious note, there are 2 problems with this thread: Bitcoins are actually destroyed when spent, so there's no such thing as receiving stolen coins. You get fresh ones every time Accept and Except are not the same word. |
