Need some assistance. Had a computer issue (PC Windows). I had 2 hard drives, the main 'C' drive which has the bitmonero blockchain downloaded and the 'D' drive which had the bitmoneroD and Simplewallet exe files.
My main C drive died on me, I replaced the drive last night, reinstalled windows, then created a folder - %appdata%/bitmonero , i downloaded the most recent blockchain from OP. However, I still can't connect via bitmonerod. I'm getting "Failed to connect to any seed peers, continuing without any seeds" error.
Any ideas or suggestions?
There was some addseed commandline. Searching "monero seed" just failed blatantly on this forum. Source tells there are some hardcoded, so most probably you have network connectivity issues. src/diff.txt:> const std::vector<std::string> m_seed_nodes_list =

Cryptsy.
In spite of all the complaints this is one which was never hacked or lost any deposits.
them never publicly stating that they have been hacked doesn't mean that they haven't been hacked. for an exchange it is very simple to hide it. Mt.Gox  |

Simply create an account at popular forums which allow external link. Private message some rich member and than give them a quote for you sigbature space. No need for a campaign.
Probably the same way it started on Bitcointalk. However many campaigns are not worthy of supporting. |

Hot black coffee
Still on coffeine intravenous drip, still sideway markets. Higher anxiety levels. I bet it either breaks out up, or shrinks a step down. |

Instead of wasting time, get in now. 10 years from now we will be seen as early adopter, having bought Bitcoins at $120 (it is coming). So you can either take advantage now, or be unhappy years later when the current prices seem unbelievably low.
Ergs! Taht's half of today's value. Would not like to see. How about doing a run up to 400 bucks first? Somehow like a late 2014 bubble that was missing out last year. |

Heute gibt es staendig so komische Spikes auf den Boersen. Sieht man besonders gut auf BTCChina: z.B. 2:30, 10:30, 15:00. Kann sich das jemand erklaeren?
Das fällt mit @asodinis's Frage "Korrelation zwischen den Kursen EUR USD und BTC RMB" zusammen. Da hat eine US-Bank mal eine Grafik rausgegeben (ist hier im Thread irgendwo, einfach mal 700 Seiten vor und zurückblättern) in der das Handelsvolumen aufgeteilt nach Währungen aufgezeigt wurde. BTC/EUR wird beispielsweise überwiegend auf Kraken gehandelt und stellt bei weitem die Minderheit im Handel da. Wenn jetzt jemand eine Arbitrage sieht, die mit BTC als Transport ginge, zwischen zwei Märkten stark unterschiedlicher Größe, dann gibt das natürlich eine Welle in der der kleinere Handelsplatz schon ordentlich ins Schaukeln gerät. Klingt das logisch? Ach ja "die" sind natürlich wir Reptiloiden die halt gerne mit Bitcoin handeln von unserem Raumschiff aus, das geschickterweise hinter dem Mond geparkt wurde und deswegen vom Hubble-Teleskop aus beispielsweise nicht gesehen werden kann. Klingt das verrückt genug, um wahr sein zu müssen? |

Agreed. Mainstream is television. Mainstream is google. Bitcoin is not mainstream.
It's a very specialised appliance, and pretty good in it's niche. People who try to force it into the Wallmarts for buying bread never understood why Satoshi invented Bitcoin. |

I think they may need to use 3rd parties to insure transactions. A Visa for Bitcoin?
or a Bitpay  The better approach. Otherwise people would recognise that they can use a Visa in the first place for stuff, saving some headaches. |

At this point the price of bitcoin is really too volatile for it to be any meaningful kind of investment, at least one that one would rely on.
Bitcoin is still very far from certain from being viable over the long run and buying bitcoin with the intention of holding it in the long run is speculative at best
Holding has proven to be pretty much dead by now. Not an issue, since that way the coins get distributed further. What itches me is the lack of private enthusiams to mine coins at home. That was the stuff that made Bitcoin great, once ago. |

Where do you sell your coins ? i use a swedish Exchange to BUY coins, but they don't take sell orders lol.
thought it would be good to know a few sites if the big day to sell comes hehe
You can use this forum to arrange exchange of coins with swedish citizens, my first try would be the Skandinavisk subforum. Doesn't look huge but might give you better pointers than some international audience from teh Philipines could provide. |

Let us assume 1000000 BTC beeing in existance, then a value of ten bucks would make 10 millions total size of the ecosphere.
If trade volume of wares and goodies done in Bitcoin doubles, you would see twenty bucks. That's the principle.
Now scale up onto 14,150,550 BTC and a value like $ 242.34 you will see the trade done using Bitcoins has to vary in size somewhat more to influence price. So we will see lower volatility.
My forecast is pessimistic at the moment, like $200 just because I cannot see BTC trade expanding at any frontier.

By design, the chances of solving a block are proportional to your hash power. So if you are contributing 1/5 of the total hash power, you solve around 1/5 of the blocks. There is no way to directly measure the hash power of all the miners. It is currently done indirectly by measuring the time between blocks.
The famous 10 minutes, who on average always had been smaller then 10 minutes except in times of shrinking difficulty. Currently a hot toppic if those 10 are to long. The real number like 9.87654something would interest me. |

One pool allowed zero fees for a time in the past. Something like that should come again. These transactions took their time, but worked. You had to manually configure the fee's hight inside the config.

Also, NEVER EVER take any BTC on any boats. They say that there is much heartbreak among many owners of Bitcoin who have lost them in boating accidents.
Why that happens to owners of precious metals even more! They take their shiny with them, knowing that it is safer with them rather than in some dark hiding place at home. Until disaster strikes...
Found a soaked cellphone at the beach once. The disaster on precious metals is their lack of replication-ability. Try to backup a goldbar (gold wire 3D printer anyone?). If the usual precautions are applied on your wallet.dat like on any other valueable data, it should be undestroyable, unbreakable. |

Plus, every minute I have to hang around Im keeping someone from doing their job. If there are 10 people after me and want to pay, someone needs to watch me and those other poor bastards paying with bitcoin. I could just run off otherwise. Maybe some sort of "pays with bitcoin" holding zone with security guards and cameras. I think this is utterly ridiculous.
Application of the wrong tool for a task can escalate, that's true. First you took the hammer since it looked like some job for a hammer. Then trying to force it further. Mediocre results at best. |

As someone who lives almost exclusively on Bitcoin I have not once had a problem due to confirmations taking 10 minutes.
Most real world uses of Bitcoin I have been able to send my Bitcoin transaction in seconds.
Transaction time is in seconds, confirmation time is in 10 minute blocks (for those who still have yet to figure this out).
10 minutes is to long. Example from my experience: Price rise, so definitely selling of some. Trade side wants 3 confirmations. Those took 70 minutes which was observable from the local bitcoin daemon remote interface. When the coins finally arrived, market movements levelled the trade opportunity. If you just wanna buy some beer and your trading site / store accepts zero confirmations, these block times are irrelevant. But on that possible application they will use a payment partner service that operates the credit cards, because that's their accustomed interface inside every shop. Then again, why bitcoin at all? 10 minutes is to long, but the real mistake is trying to apply bitcoin as a fast payment solution in the first place, something Satoshi never did designed it for. Otherwise he would have choosen 1 minute blocks. |

Damn this thread is gold lol
Sad seeing how these fringe scientists ruin the overall success. How many scammed people made first contact with Bitcoin due to this scam? |
