Shouldn't difficulty increase as time goes on?

 Difficulty adjusts automatically every 2016 blocks in order to keep the block confirmation time @ 600 seconds.

For best i mean the compression ratio, the space it occupies, interface, etc.

 Do you care about the ability to repair damaged archives?  If not, it's 7zip hands down.

Opinions on Bitcoin come in all shapes and sizes. The Winklevoss twins insist...
  <-- That's where my interest waned.

 You lost me at Winklevoss, Danny. 

1) Very few people here care what the Winklevoss twins are doing let alone drinking Koolaid with them.
2) Your 1 ounce of silver will never get you even 1/10th of a bitcoin.
3) I really enjoyed your article from Nov. 2012 entitled "Expedia is not a growth stock"  It was $25 then and it's $112 now.  Imagine if it WAS a growth stock?

So what happened?  Nobody will pay you to write articles so you come in here and give them away?

i had the same problem, you just need to create a .bat file, put it in the folder of vanitygen and write this:
Code:
oclvanitygen.exe -o whereyouwanttosave.txt 1UrName
and then open it!  Wink

You have 480s working with vanitygen?

 No, I saw it's CUDA.

Is it necessary to sign up for an account to order a gift card which will be delivered via e-mail?  I'm interested in buying an iTunes card (say $50 worth) for a relative in Canada and obviously paying with Bitcoin but I don't really want to give my personal information to do so.  I don't see an option on your site to allow me to do this.  Is it because the iTunes card defaults to physical delivery?

 Merci.
7087  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: August 03, 2016, 07:33:04 PM
ok i solved my problem with oclminer using a .bat instead of directly cmd but with this method there is another problem... How to prevent the window from closing when the address is found? Undecided Huh
Code:
oclvanitygen.exe 1ForuM

 Send it to a file (-o filename) so you don't lose it or use the -k switch which forces vanitygen to keep looking.

or if in windows, shift-right click and select open command window here on the directory containing oclvanitygen

LMFAO when someone say btc and gold in the same sentence.

Sure?... when had you see a 20% dump in gold?. When a hacker can stole that huge amount of gold?.

In my opinion btc can't be a currency. Make no mistake, I love the idea of bitcoin but in my opinion the system has a really serious lack of security issues.

In that sense bitcoin lose.

How do you think people feel with no btc in their accounts after bitfinex hack?. No problems like this with gold or fiat.

To me, this is the main reason why bitoin it's not a secure way to invest. First MtGox, now Bitfinex, next?

 Russian missing 50 Billion dollars worth of gold
 Ukraine lost all but 1% of it's gold
 China missing 500 tonnes of gold
 Germany missing hundreds of tons of gold (apparently the US is holding it but doesn't transfer it)
 There's also the Fort Knox mystery.  The last audit done on the gold reserves there is 60 years old.  Some say it is all gone.

 You don't see the dump in gold price because it is being manipulated by these same governments with paper contracts representing gold.  This is on a scale that would dwarf bitcoin.

Ok, but you are talking about problems between governments. I don't imagine someone stolen the same amount ($70 millions) of gold in a few minutes like bitfinex hacker. For that reason, and always in my opinion, btc is comprmised.

Of course not. China reports one year that it holds X tons of gold, next year X+50. Physical gold unaffected. Bitcoin is already paying hefty security costs: 1,800 to miners, to keep the network secured and sorta functioning (~3tps).

Ok, but you are talking about China, a government. Can you move $70 millions of gold in some minutes like bitfinex hacker?. I don't think so. I said not make mistake, I love some features of bitcoin, I really believed in bitcoin, but I don't like the way this security issues happens. Always it's my opinion, I'm waiting for bitfinex solution to see how they can solve this..

No, I'm agreeing with you.

xhomerx10 confused "stuff governments say about how much gold they have" with actual, physical gold, the metal. And no, "500 tonnes of [physical] gold" don't suddenly go missing.



 German govt is not confused about the amount of gold reserves it has.  The gold is missing; the amount of time for it to disappear is debatable.  The trust-based monetary system was "hacked" and German gold was replaced with a promise.  It could have happened seconds after the US went off the gold standard.  We'll never know.

 I don't know for sure the amount of dollars per minute.  I do know that there are tonnes of missing gold that Germany thought it had secured away in an exchange.  There's no difference in these two hacks.

Events like this one do serious harm to crypto's reputation in general, no doubt about that.

How can it harm the bitcoin reputation, if it's most important selling point of bitcoin? Yes, if you lost your bitcoins it's final. However, nobody can take it from you. It's two sides of the same coin.

This is correct. Bitcoin is the safest money in the world. As long as you never use it. Because using it is simply dumb, it's not for using. It's for hodling. Like a boss Cool

Yes, it's digital gold. You do not go to a corner store to buy a carton of milk and pay with bullion for it.

 That's odd; we used to pay with bullion.  Actually, not gold bullion in my time but I distinctly remember collecting little pieces of silver from the customers on my paper route.  Those shiny little beauties had a distinctive ring.  I wonder why we stopped?  Come to think of it, milk used to come in glass bottles... then cartons and now plastic jugs and plastic bags!  Where do you buy cartons of milk now-a-days?

If it's stolen it most likely will be sold as quickly as the thieves can pawn it off on someone, not "removed from trading" but the exact opposite. And if it is not, the threat of it being dumped on the market at any time has a depressant effect on the market.

So you claim that AML laws are easy to bypass? That blockchain grants anonymity? Any other cases when someone sold that much of stolen BTC and walked away?

 Perhaps the thieves are associated with a casino or some other "legitimate" business with cash flows in the millions already.  AML laws are geared toward the little guy who might try to evade taxes.

Collateral: none if possible

Received it. thanks. I will repay in a week or earlier once I receive my money.


 I have an aversion to usurious interest rates so rather than repaying me 0.033 BTC in one week, I would prefer an APR of ~ 21% plus the transfer fee required to send the 0.03 BTC to you initially.  So the repayment amount after one week would be:

0.03019 BTC

Thank you

 I think this should be in "press"

Yeah...No. Does this look like a notable press hit to you?


Some users' bitcoin has been stolen, and no there is no insurance for this.

"Some users" are out of luck, hopefully bitfinex' own stash is unaffected. Fucking hilarious.

 At least press of the day.
7097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex discovered a security breach and halted trading! on: August 02, 2016, 08:32:25 PM
We still don't know what happened exactly, if it's a hack of users' accounts or a general security breach, only time will tell, also price of bitcoin was falling for days now we don't really know if it's related to bitfinex hack or not, I think most likey not.

 Oh, it's definitely Bitfinex related!  This is the same thing that happened at the end of June when Bitfinex halted trading.  Everybody gets timid and pulls back.  If the rumors are true, this one might take a little longer to recover from though.
7098  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think that the current dump is going to destroy the image of bitcoin? on: August 02, 2016, 08:13:22 PM
for about a month the price of bitcoin was stable and everyone was very happy with that and people started to believe for putting all of their money in bitcoin, and it was considered that it will be the next global currency, but now a bigger dump has started, and I think that dump is dangerous for the better future of bitcoin and its continuous happening will deny bitcoin from it success.

 "...for about a month the price of bitcoin was stable and everyone was very happy with that and people started to believe for putting all of their money in bitcoin..."

Where did you hear this?  After one month of stability your parents are going to bet the farm?!  That's just silly.

Well, everyone is vulnerable and this can happen, security is always on test. They wouldn't be the first to.have such problem.  But strange that if this happened this wasn't a bigger news.

 It JUST happened.  The only reason it isn't news is because OP didn't post it in the "Press" section.  I guess it will be big news soon enough but that depends entirely on how much, if any they lost.

i just bought back some coins back at $580 that i have sold at $750 in june. i will buy back some more coins if the price happens to drop down further. i think we'll see the price drop to $550 - $560 before we can look upwards again.

 That's the way to multiply your bitcoins!  I couldn't pull the trigger at $750... I choked.  I am only cut out to hodl Wink
