Same question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=360919.0

Answer: don't use obsolete unmaintained guiminer and pointless GPUs to mine .000001 bitcoins a day. Any normal pool would ban you for inefficiency.
642  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What does "change" mean in the context of sending coins? on: December 11, 2013, 10:58:33 PM
Transactions are comprised of a list of inputs, individual payments that were previously received by a wallet, and outputs, a list of amounts and addresses to which the bitcoins will be transferred.

Only the full amount of an input can be spent. If the exact amount of the transaction can’t be constructed from available inputs, an additional output, called change, is added, which sends the remainder back to a new address in the user’s wallet. Change addresses are not shown to the user.

I assume pts is some alt-coin; I have that whole subforum ignored. Some coin where the "developer" or the site you were using to send yourself money didn't do basic network byte checks before allowing an address to be used.

Depending how the alt-currency is set up, you may be able to export the private key for that Bitcoin address and import it to the scamcoin wallet to receive the sent coins.

I just thought of another thing I might do in the category of "stupifyingly paranoid" - recalculate the public key and addresses several times, to check that calculation was not done incorrectly due to hardware failure or gamma ray bursts or such, and print the private key to screen both before and after calculations.

It's offline. And, he can of course publish the SHA256 of the executable as well as GPG sign it.
Okay, for your (dis)pleasure...

Looks like most people on this forum consider acceptable writing moar instead of more, center instead of centre...

I'm curious: what happens if you do this in your school works in your country?

I was under the impression that centre and center were two different ways to spell the same word (UK and US spelling respectively). Did I miss something?  Smiley

Yes, he leapt to an uninformed conclusion, likely no offence was meant. I would be reasonably chuffed if you blokes would end this quarrelling. Today you learnt that each country has their own flavour of English where words are spelt differently. This is an artefact of separate evolution of language in disparate regions, after constant dialogue is broken. There is no way to harmonise this schism in practise, even in the Internet age. Simply realise that you should allow people to spell things their favourite way, as long as it is considered correct somewhere. There is no defence of some unskilful Internet ignoramuses, however.

(UK people may not get the humour above; reading this is like being slapped in the brain with a fish to Americanos, due to the many non-American spellings.)

How do you think the "input mouse movement" for bitaddress.org stacks up for randomness?

I just have a guess, do you have one?

<script type="text/javascript">
ninja.seeder = {
   // number of mouse movements to wait for
   seedLimit: (function () {
      var num = Crypto.util.randomBytes(12)[11];
      return 50 + Math.floor(num);
   })(),

   seedCount: 0, // counter

   // seed function exists to wait for mouse movement to add more entropy before generating an address
   seed: function (evt) {
      if (!evt) var evt = window.event;

      // seed a bunch (minimum seedLimit) of times based on mouse moves
      SecureRandom.seedTime();
      // seed mouse position X and Y
      if (evt) SecureRandom.seedInt((evt.clientX * evt.clientY));

      ninja.seeder.seedCount++;
      // seeding is over now we generate and display the address
      if (ninja.seeder.seedCount == ninja.seeder.seedLimit) {
         ninja.wallets.singlewallet.open();
         // UI
         document.getElementById("generate").style.display = "none";
         document.getElementById("menu").style.visibility = "visible";
      }
   },

   // If user has not moved the mouse or if they are on a mobile device
   // we will force the generation after a random period of time.
   forceGenerate: function () {
      // if the mouse has not moved enough
      if (ninja.seeder.seedCount < ninja.seeder.seedLimit) {
         SecureRandom.seedTime();
         ninja.seeder.seedCount = ninja.seeder.seedLimit - 1;
         ninja.seeder.seed();
      }
   }
};


How does it "stack up", I guess that depends on how secure you find seeding RC4 with some mouse positions.

This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 09/497,307 filed Feb. 3, 2000

I have read the patent, and it has no invention. It's just a bunch of words that are unpatentable and obvious, Such as "159. The method of claim 155, wherein the host server determines if the account associated with the payer has sufficient funds to make the payment." Ooh, wow, what a novel idea that we'd check first to see if they have money.

Chase received this patent in 2012 for "Method and system for processing internet payments using the electronic funds transfer network", once again, completely obvious not just to anyone skilled in the art, but anyone with an IQ over 90. It looks like the bank has positioned itself as a patent troll.

Patents are for inventions, not just some idea that you can't prove you have ever made work.

If you only need the price once every 15 minutes, you can get json here:

Otherwise, you are just asking someone to do the work of googling for you.

I also asked Hal for a copy though. Hopefully I receive one.
The second post above has exactly what you asked for. I don't know why you expect to read source code when you can't read the first response to your post.

654  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: ANN: Generating a paper wallet with strong randomness (Python paperwal.py) on: December 10, 2013, 06:22:10 PM
Updated to v1.1:
-removed all floating point math; floating point times are now retrieved as raw hex bits.
-simplified & robust time -> entropy functions
-interface cleanup
-partition library use into single methods needing them
-only OS random class is used, no python internal random
-no address calculation changes

Another good reason not to use the "official" wallet IMHO.

Don't be silly. The answer:

However when i checked blockchain.info

There's your problem. Don't look at that site.

its wierd how bad it's getting on the internet never b4 has so much stupid been let lose at once with other's learning to read from igneranuses.

I just realized I can't even make up writing as bad as I've seen...
657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin blockchain data torrent on: December 09, 2013, 06:17:23 PM
I'm running this on a Mac if that makes a difference. Seems like 0.8 is buggy.
Or run this Windows software: IntelBurnTest
I am interested in this too.
If you have a PC, an easy to use test is OCCT, it has several system-stressing tests that will report computation errors, and monitors temperatures and voltages while they run.

I used to change mine occasionally for comedy value; I'm stuck with this one for now.

OP could do a service and edit the first post subject to "TIL: adding an avatar image is disabled due to security concerns."
659  Economy / Service Discussion / Today a saw Bitcoin flyers, with "Get your coinbase wallet" among the URLs... on: December 09, 2013, 12:05:22 PM
I thought that was kind of cool to see someone made a stack of Bitcoin info cards that were in a coffee shop among the other flyers.
However, there were a few official-ish URLs, and then the unusual choice of coinbase wallet URL for "get your first wallet". Upon reflection, I'm thinking I should do a service for anyone that might take one - go back and throw them in the garbage.

I guess people don't learn from 2.5 years ago of every noob tutorial being "get your wallet - mybitcoins".
660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple: The Best Way To Legitimize Bitcoin on: December 09, 2013, 11:40:49 AM
The only people talking about Ripple are people from ripplecorp public relations and legal obfuscation offshore holding incorporated, and those who's support was bought with a few million of the 100% premined ponzi coins. Yes, I said it, this really is a cryptocurrency Ponzi. They are not above slandering Bitcoin in front of congress worse than FinCEN themselves did for their own benefit.
