6401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to receive transactions to old addresses after deleting wallet.dat? on: May 13, 2012, 08:04:41 PM

-EDIT-
I still have the deleted wallet.dat available in my recycle bin



  \O/

Pheww!!

So, first step here: make a backup copy of both wallets  (saved with separate names to ensure they are identifiable, e.g., wallet-encrypted.dat  wallet-unencrypted.dat )

If you would prefer not to deal with the technical steps of exporting and then importing keys, simply just use your wallet-encrypted.dat when you receive funds at an old address, but use the unencrypted wallet for everything else.

And change any payout addresses to use an address from the new wallet.

Unfortunately neither your instructions nor the ones Spekulatius followed mentioned "make a back up copy of your wallet".  To us techies, that's something we know to do already (and often).  In trying to help, we should consider a promise that is part of the hippocratic oath ...

it looks like SatoshiDice is now down 250 BTC

And that's not including the fees it pays on each payout,right?
 46518 X 0.0005 = another 23.259 BTC


[Edit: I overlooked in the OP, fees were included in that 250 BTC total.]

The problem is that not all android phones can access this. I'm in China and have the same problem with my phone. Google ties phones to this market, but phone manufacturers can opt out and develop their own store. There is no google play icon on my phone.

I see.  You need the .apk:

Clearly, BTC at $1 doesn't support a $2,100,000,000 BTC economy.

You are misusing the term "economy".  I see sometimes the term "market cap" used to describe the number that is the quantity X exchange rate, but neither term really is really accurate.

As a currency, Bitcoin's value is increased when there is demand for its use in transactions.  i.e., how much spending occurs using bitcoins.   If you notice the following chart, you'll see that we are approaching on average 2 million BTCs spent each day now (up from a level a quarter as high just a few months ago):
 - http://blockchain.info/charts/output-volume?timespan=60days&daysAverageString=7

Extrapolated over a month, that would mean 60 millon BTCs spent in a single month, at $5 each = $300 million USD.  Multiply out twelve months and that is nearly a $4 trillion [Edit: oops, ... billion] USD "economy".  Obviously that's the biggest numerical fantasy since Ben Bernanke last opened his mouth.

This "total spending" metric is flawed because Bitcoin doesn't indicate which transaction is a change transaction versus the amount that was truly spent in that transaction.  There are more flaws to calling this number "spending" because, for instance, a party mixing coins is going to create a lot of spending with nearly no net addition to this "economy".   And now with online gambling becoming a more significant portion of transaction activity, the "spending" level means less when 99% of the transaction amount totals are retained by the originating party.  Thus without the funds changing hands some concepts such as "velocity" of money mean different things.

The point I'm trying to make is that the exchange rate isn't the only thing that is used to measure the size of the economy.  A $2.1 trillion [Edit: oops, ... billion] USD economy could exist with a $0.01 BTC/USD even.

*there's always a possibility that the attacker tampered with the database. But it's nearly impossible to tell which data was tampered with and which wasn't, so either way they're in pretty hot water.

If only database technology was available for financial services where there is the ability to store transactions with auditable history as well as there being an archive log such that recovery to a point in time is possible.  If only such a thing existed ....

USD balance with unrealized P/L to your email as a Mt. Gox code.

Sending a Mt. Gox redeemable code through e-mail is not secure.  SMTP is sent unencrypted, thus anyone between the sender and the recipient has the technical ability to redeem the code.

Bitinstant can do deposits directly to a designated Mt. Gox account (and customer accounts at several other exchanges).

Perhaps that method or other approach is better than sending redeemable codes through e-mail?

We are building an account claim page. You can submit your account information, financial information (balances) and trading information to verify your identity. We will then match with the records we have.

If only there were some technology that used a second form of authentication, perhaps a one time password delivered to a mobile, as sufficient verification of identity.  Oh wait .... there is.

6413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How can I UNencrypt my wallet? (Satoshi Client) on: May 13, 2012, 08:45:27 AM
Why isnt there an option to UNencrypt the wallet?
[...]
Pls help me (and Gavin, if you read this, pls add this option to the new version or make users only enter the pass when the client opens)!!!

The Bitcoin.org client does not yet have the feature to remove encryption from a wallet. You can use a single space as the encryption key but there no way to get it to no longer use encryption.

That is expected to be implemented in a future release.

In the meantime, those that want this will create a new wallet and leave it unencrypted, and send their coins from the encrypted wallet to it.
6414  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legality of IPOing securities on GLBSE on: May 13, 2012, 07:38:18 AM
Why should we care?

Can you put a time reference on that?


Why should we care, today, when all GLBSE's assets combined have a market cap of under a quarter million USD (wild assed guess, no clue on the true number) or

Why should we care in May 2013, let's say, when all GLBSE's asset market caps combined hit the $10 million threshold?

The exchange might be identical a year from now with what it is today, but latter of the two may make all the difference as far as why should we care.
6415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All-time transaction record was just hit on: May 13, 2012, 07:12:56 AM
Just for reference (sorry Stephen), I started doing my own stats on SatoshiDice.com using Armory's blockchain tools.

Thank you, yours is much more comprehensive!

In fact, SatoshiDice.com has lost money so far...

A casino that pays out more than it takes in. 

They must plan to make up for it with volume.   Smiley

But, that would explain why it is so popular.

The missing payouts are a concern though.  Hoping to learn the reason for that, and also to learn if there have been attacks that have been double spending (clawing back losing wagers, for instance) or what might explain the losses being experienced.
6416  Economy / Marketplace / Re: GLBSE plan in case of legal holdup on: May 13, 2012, 06:45:12 AM
A set of alternative domain names GLBSE could fall back on in the event of it's domain being seized by the US Govt would not be a bad idea.

The namecoin domain (.bit) has been secured.

no confirmation from Dwolla I'm getting worried.

Ya, it is days.  Many days, apparently.

Because the withdrawal is queued up with Mt. Gox, you do have the option of canceling the withdrawal and going with Wire, Mt. Gox redeemable code, etc.

There are people with Dwolla USDs that get directed to this thread:
 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78512.0

And there is the #bitcoin-otc marketplace where your MTGUSDs are in demand. With the -otc Web of Trust (WoT) you should be able to find a trusted counterparty with which to do a trade.

To make Bitstamp even more competitive, we have introduced a volume discount program that rewards our customers based upon their trade volume. Transaction fees start at a low 0.50% and with volume are now as low as 0.20%.

Don't forget to update your FAQ with this.
