761  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Get list of all addresses with a balance over x? on: January 08, 2014, 10:08:12 PM
Of course it's small, I'm just curious.  There's what, 1e48 possible addresses, and something like 100e6 transactions, but how many of those were to unique addresses?  Do we have 1/1e40 of addresses used, or is it smaller?
762  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Get list of all addresses with a balance over x? on: January 08, 2014, 09:39:31 PM
I'm curious as to what % of possible addresses have been used?

Q1: What methods of storing bitcoins are resistant to any computer being hacked?

Flip a coin 256 times and then somehow generate the public key from that.  Maybe using a programmable calculator

I'm sure it's easier to use a casino to launder money.  Or HSBC if you're a terrorist.

Is that a possible vulnerability though?   I recently tried to  send a small amount of coin to someone (less than 1 euro's worth) and the 'fee' my wallet wanted to charge me was a substantial part of the payment.   

One of the major draws of bitcoin was supposed to be that you didn't need to pay anyone to keep the system running.

Could the requirement for fees become so large that they become a significant frictional barrier for bitcoin use?

They keep lowering the fee as the price increases.

I think grep is going to be your table of contents.

Is race for the galaxy good?  I've never played it.

Theoretically they don't need to include any transactions.  But then they wouldn't get to spend the coins that they produce.  And if they started pulling crazy stuff with which transactions they included then the price would fall and the coins they produced wouldn't be worth anything.

My new router has a checkbox that says "Enable DDOS protection".  No idea if it works well.  I'm sure Cisco could sell you something, but I don't think you'd like the prices.  There's got to be something you can install in a linux box.
771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs. Paypal - and PayPal is getting sued. on: January 07, 2014, 06:27:38 PM
Go for it, just expect them to close your account give you a pittance and a NDA and forbid you from ever doing business with them again.

/sued paypal many years ago and won.

That's what I'm thinking too.

You need the illusion that regular people matter.
773  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How much wallets of different coins do you have? on: January 07, 2014, 05:58:45 PM
I have a few, but just for BTC.  I'm paranoid about alt-coin wallets having viruses.
774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Tech can replace most national voteing system on: January 07, 2014, 05:34:36 PM
So no more anonymous voting?
775  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to start on: January 06, 2014, 11:03:11 PM
Small and fast trades (buying and selling) are better than buying 300Gh/s in a mining group?


Any tips where to buy BTC with good price?

Where are you?
776  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies please read: ASIC miners, cloud mining and potential profit on: January 06, 2014, 11:02:01 PM
The whole mining debate is quite interesting to me as wasn't mining at some point in the past not that profitable when bitcoin was trading for very little? Then the price increased and mining was more profitable again.  Using one of those online calculator things it says with 7gh/s i would currently get 0.003 in 24 hours.  If you believe the price of bitcoin could rise to $100,000 then that 0.003 is now worth $300.  This view of course depends on your belief in the future of bitcoin but if you think it's going to fail then you probably wouldn't even be concidering mining to begin with.

Sure, but why don't you just take $3 and buy 0.003 BTC instead of paying whatever 7 GH/sec costs?

I wonder what another two at the other side and enclosing the case would do.

It has a lot of drive bays at least.

Lots of foreigners learn English from.. well the English.  And/or they go to school in England.
