Lol, just saw this on Google's reviews, along with 4 negative feedback posts. Advocat - Jul 7, 2011
Excellent Law Firm. Smart, Hard Working, and Responsive. Admitted to New York State, and Federal Courts. The recent negative reviews about this firm which all commenced July 7, 2011, which may or may not be removed by Google, were not brought about by any involvement with this law firm, but by those who reacted angrily to a Trademark Application filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, by Attorney Pascazi, on behalf of a client. Those negative reviews should not be taken as a true evaluation of the firm's capabilities. In fact, one could surmise that this law firm must have done a pretty good job if so many people, whom the firm has never met, reacted angrily. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=11020796222182954010&q=1065+main+street,+fishkill,+ny+12524&hl=en&dtab=2&sll=41.534876,-73.903926&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&ll=41.537968,-73.908291&spn=0,0&t=h&z=17 |

Regardless, still getting the invalid character '[' error without pipes in the text file. Any other suggestions?
What's the exact error message? Is it, "Invalid character '[' in prefix?" The only suggestion (which might get me in trouble) is to run with "-r". So can the brackets [] not be used for finding an address with a specific prefix? It can. The -r switch was the trick. |

That's amazing, a pool owner gets 1.5% of all bitcoins minted...and people still keep signing up...
Depends on the pool. deepbit takes 3%, other take none. It ranges anywhere from nothing to 3%. I think its amazing that people stay at deepbit when they have the highest fees. I guess its the instant payout option. Only thing i can figure.  It's the stability and reliability that makes it worth it. BTCGuild and BTCMine kept having problems every time I tried them. I ended up losing far more in BTC production because their pools went down than I would have paid simply to stay at deepbit. So I stay at deepbit. |

Ok, last request I promise.  Can results be logged to a text file? |

EDIT: Hmmm, didn't work. "Invalid character '[' in prefix 1[p|P]etc..."
You don't need the pipe: 1[Aa][Bb][Cc]. In some shells you may have to escape/quote the square brackets. Safest is to enclose the whole regex in single quotes (double quotes in windows' cmd). I have the targets stored in a text file. I tried encapsulating each regex in single and double quotes, both errored out. It seemed that the command window changed the double quotes to an o with two dots over it, and the single quotes to one of those AE letter combos. Not sure what's up with that. Regardless, still getting the invalid character '[' error without pipes in the text file. Any other suggestions? |

BTCGuild is down, that's why...
There are still more pools. And i don't know why you dislike deepbit. So far i'm ok with it, since i'm on proportional and got low processing power. No, I'm saying BTCGuild is down (or not at full capacity), so that's why it appears as though deepbit has 50% of the hashing power. If BTCGuild was running properly, deepbit would be at 40% or so. And I don't hate deepbit. I mine on deepbit myself as well. I've tried other pools, and nothing has matched the consistency and information available at deepbit. I just like it best. |

We could all leave his firm(s) negative ratings on google maps and other rating websites.

How about an anonymous and untraceable bounty on his head?
I lol'd. But seriously, don't do this. Bad idea, and I will not support it. |

I found out that the Sapphires I tried to flash were unflashable. I haven't tried the physical mod that asher2 posted, but that takes some guts. I just settled for an overclock that netted about 350MH/s per card.

I switched from BTCG to DB due to the DDOS (why are botnets so bad anyways?) and so far it seems my payouts aren't nearly as high as when I was with BTCG. Sure my uptime is better, but whats the point of being connected 100% of the time when being connected at <24/7 yields more profits (in my case anyways).
There was also just a difficulty increase. This may be why you see less earnings. Just one other option to consider. Necromuch? |

Now watch... someone is going to trace his new donation address to his old wallet and figure out which profile matches up with which person.

Fair enough - thanks for the answers.

Use regular expressions. Like this:
[g|G][e|E|3][n|N][t|T|7] and so on. This matches Gent, gent, g3N7, ..
Adding * allows repeating the character.
G[e|E]*n matches GeeeeEEEeeeen, Gen and Gn. If you want to have at least 1 occurence of the character, use + instead of *.
That's how I know regexps. Not sure if it is actually the pcre-style regexp syntax used in vanitygen.
Thank you much! EDIT: Hmmm, didn't work. "Invalid character '[' in prefix 1[p|P]etc..." |

Is someone trying to reserve large portions of the shorter firstbits address space? Check out this account that seems to be connected with distributing > 100 BTC to weird pseudo-sequential prefixes, and in random quantities less than a micro-bitcoin each. Yeti pointed out similar behavior, but more focused on vanity addresses here. What would this person do: sell the private keys and expect people to use them on an ongoing basis? If that's true, I sincerely hope no one buys into it. Otherwise, it seems like scorched earth policy against firstbits, forcing people to use longer prefixes. It seems odd that they are sending different amounts to each address. Almost seems like they are trying to encode something into the blockchain with the addresses and amounts. I've checked some of those addresses out after noticing the same thing, and they weren't particularly good firstbits (many were 1 + 5 characters), so I don't think those are related. |

Similar to 5grainsilver, I do believe that an online currency such as this one could have great potential, that is why I follow this.
However, I think it is crazy right now to invest in this currency at the currently high prices.
Also like 5grainsilver has said about the government seizing the funds, I have seen firsthand the government go after egold, or I think it was egold some years back. What surprised me was I would never have thought the government would or could go after egold, and I was really surprised about it. I can also see them easily go after bitcoin in the same way.
The government will not care about you saying it is not a currency etc. They will shut it down. Already paypal has stopped allowing payments for anything to do with bitcoin, and ebay is taking down listings. This is just the beginning.
Bitcoin is also full of hackers etc. I do not understand all the technical aspects of it, but how long until the whole system is somehow cracked? Is this even possible? How many people would use a currency that can easily be stolen from their computer as easily as your web browser gets full of spyware.
With all the current drawbacks, it is hard to understand people spending so much dollar per bitcoin, especially considering they were so cheap just a couple of months ago, and nothing has really changed.
I would considering it an investment in the low single digits at this point, but not $15 or $30.
With all of this said, it still surprises me that there are people out there who keep the price as high as it is. They continue to buy all the bitcoins that keep coming to the market. Especially considering that probably 90%+ of those bitcoins are not going to be used to buy anything. They just buy them to speculate.
If there were 60 million coins in existence, would $1.52 sound like a really high price as well? What about $0.15 per coin if there were 600 million coins? |

Is there a way to make the search caps-insensitive?

Bitcoin addresses do not get "reserved" when they are generated, it is just astronomically unlikely to generate one that has been used before. In theory, you could keep generating new addresses until you hit one that has coins in it, but as SgtSpike said this would be much more difficult than finding valid blocks.
Huh... So, technically, it is possible to get into any ones wallet like that? That's fun) Technically, yes. Reality, no. I think someone mentioned in another thread that the possibility of finding a previously used address with running the calculations on a 5870 was equal to the possibility of a person winning the lottery 100 days in a row. Basically, it will NEVER happen. |
