Well yes I got that haha I only meant having a small device within the hood of your car absorbing heat and storing it for energy. Either way there are a ton more efficient ways to go about getting cheap / free electricity in some better way.

I'm definitely not an expert here (far from it) but this sounds a lot like what achow101 has developed here. It's a tipping address that generates a new one after each tip is sent.

I do so that's where the thought came from really.


I heat with natural gas. It's maybe $90-140/mo in the winter rather than the huge cost of electricity. If you live in a rural area your 'delivery charge' is huge. It's more than your usage costs in a lot of places (eg. You use $100 of electricity and it costs $130 to be 'delivered')  I don't mine bitcoins because I would just be hemorrhaging cash.


My thoughts exactly. It would make the car less efficient. A better idea would be to have something very light that could somehow turn heat into energy. That's what the first link in my OP goes over.


That's pretty extreme for me! I don't have the capital to put forth for that and wouldn't even want to look into how much it would cost to finance!

Ok I definitely understand it much better now. I know my terminology is a little mixed up sometimes but I definitely understand how it works. No wonder I didn't just 'pick it up' haha it's a lot more complicated than you would think when you first start with bitcoins and you 'send bitcoin from one address to another.'

Thanks for all of you help DannyHamilton. I'm looking to include an input into a transaction but I need an address to send it to so you can have an unspent output. Would you happen to have one that you would prefer?

The first ones are sealed but not air tight. The packaging was just designed that way. The second ones are sealed and air tight.

Thanks for your interest. Let me know if you're still interested in either and I can get you a quote from there.

I was thinking the same question. Now many people have asked you but I'll ask again since you haven't done it yet. Can you sign a message from an address previously used on this forum to prove your account wasn't hacked?

I figured it was because he was doing something helpful for the community and not just because he thought there were a lot of people posting so why not take advantage of it.

Thanks.

I just checked out Mitchell's Overview of Bitcointalk Signature Ad-Campaigns  and there's an advertisement in the OP. I didn't know we were able to do this. Is there a rule where you can only add it in the OP or what are the rules exactly?

I've seen people trying to advertise outside of the signature and get in trouble for it (girlbtc.com) so just looking for some clarification.

TL;DR Basically what it comes down to is if I have a post that is seen by lots of people am I allowed to show an advertisement in the OP? Thanks.

I guess so. If a generator was more efficient than paying a certain rate from your electricity company's I guess everyone would be using generagors all the time to save money rather than using them in an emergency when the power goes out!

I really like the idea of this 'powerspout' that I found while googling how to create your own electricity. Again though, it costs $1300 so that's a huge con! I'll see how magnets create electricity and see if that's an easier way to generate some electricity.

Ok I definitely understand that. So basically an address is just for us to see a consolidation of how may unspent outputs (or chunks of gold in different sizes, or invoices in different amounts) we have.


I think I understand it a bit better. If I add a transaction to the Blockchain that's an input to said transaction. It now becomes a spent output for me and can never be used again.


So I just received an output from someone else. I didn't get a credit to my bitcoin address but instead the transaction now is controlled by my private key (or I guess I should say my private key controls that unspent output now).


Got it... I think.

Can you correct me if I'm wrong?:

I have 1BTC.

I send the 1BTC (minus fees) to Charlie with transaction A so I did an input onto the Blockchain of .99 +.01 in fees.

Charlie now receives the output. He has an unspent output until he sends the .99BTC (minus fees) to Alice. He sends an input of .98 + .01 in fees to the Blockchain with transaction B.

Alice now sees her .98BTC show up as an output. Again, it'll be an unspent output until she spends it in the future. Her private key has control of the unspent output.

So:

When your private key 'loses control' of an output it  = input
When your private key 'gains control' of an input = output

Outputs are unspent outputs until they're an input, then your private key loses control of that transaction.

So basically every portion of a bitcoin that you have is an output and once you input it onto the Blockchain it's now an output for the other private key it was sent to.

Is that all right?

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. How much would shipping cost or the headphones themselves? Shipping totally depends where you live and what I'm charging is 0.01BTC for 1 pair or 0.018BTC for both. I am able to ship where ever you would like. I can get you a quote if you'd like.

I know here in Ontario, Canada people are having huge issues with the price of electricity. If you heat with electricity you can expect anything from $350-900+ just for one month. This is why I really can't justify mining as a hobby (for now maybe ?).

Has anyone tried a different way to generate electricity like gasoline, propane, natural gas, coal (lol let's not and say we did) wind, flowing water? I've seen people using solar arrays which obviously is great, but it takes a lot of upfront capital.

I saw very innovative ways to generate electricity on http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-unbelievable-new-ways-generating-electricity/ but again none of them are really good for a small bitcoin / altcoin hobby mine.

I'm looking into using different bodies of water and seeing what people are already doing around the world to generate electricity from them. Anything else I should look into for maybe a cheaper startup? A $400 generator and $50 of gas? Haha.

Edit: here's anotger idea. Use a stream of water to generate electricity http://www.powerspout.com

LOL! This is when the world got 'knocked-up' with bitcoins. No one knew yet what a great thing would happen at the birth of bitcoins. Nicely put.


Are we not doing the sandwich board thing anymore? Omfg everyone told me we were all going to do it at the same time. Awesome. Thanks for making me look like a total tool guys.

Oops I thought I had already posted it but thanks everyone so much for all of this information. It's hard to sift through all of the information online and find something that just clearly explains these basic things in plain English.

For my future reference:

Input = Credit
Output = Debit
Unspent output = 'spendable'
or balance in your bitcoin address equal to the inputs added up or possible bitcoins you can spend. The number of inputs will determine how high the fee is. Ex: 5 inputs of 0.002 will have a higher fee than 1 input (now an unspent output) of 0.01BTC.

Locking threads is necessary no matter what rank you are.

Self moderated threads could definitely use some tightening on the rules though. Maybe even full members or above? The problem is that hacked accounts use these threads to take out loans so rank becomes irrelevant. I don't really see the need for self moderated threads ever. For every legitimate case there are 9 illegitimate cases.

Blocking PMs though? Who cares. They're using a newbie throwaway account with a throwaway email address. You sending them 50 PMs a day won't get your money back.

Wow, you don't look half bad OgNasty

The picture in the OP shows a MegaMan address. I'm assuming that's just to show what the back of the coin looks like (or was that the wrong image added)?

Lol OP got banned for 7 days. It was most likely for spamming. Just look at that post count. Wow!

The forum isn't dead, you're just a little hyperactive that's all.

Your other loan request is already opened here.
 
So basically, you have a localbitcoins account (that you've failed to prove are yours) and you're asking to take out two loans at the same time. Did I miss anything?

And another thread here.

And one in long term offers

That's funny, because you've already posted almost the exact same thread here. Do you care to explain why you're asking for two loans at the same time?

And another thread here. That makes 3 (so far).

Edit: Oh, another one in long term offers. That's 4 threads. The only thing you do is ask for very big loans.

Well to be honest I'd like to find a website that has all of that in one spot. I mean in terms of the market cap I'm sure you know of coinmarketcap but they don't really have much more than that. You can see who's tweeting about the certain coins and see what's in the news too I guess.
