Err OK maybe your Enlgish didn't pick up on that so well.
"Fixed" is changing something that isn't broken but is made to favour a system you don't want it to.

Say you bet $1million on a horse race and I was a casino owner and the rate was 1-40 and the second horse had a rate of 1-5 and there was only $10000 on that horse in total. I may "fix" the state of the bet by paying the jockey to fall off it at a certain jump.

NO. They are not already assigned. There are NOT 21million.
There ARE 21 million Bitcoins, not 21 million Bitcoin Blocks.

There is a link LOOK at the site and you will see it in the lottery page.

You don't need to trust twitter as a service or the timestamps that are added as they aren't what makes it provably fair. We don't wnat you to go back 120 lotteries and keep analysing when the results were published.

I don't understand.

But then you wouldn't trust the blockchain or its timestamps.
And you'd say it's better to use a twitter site then publishing the data on the blockchain.
Also, you can't put a file on the blockchain as there's only 80 bytes you can write to per transaction. And that'd have gone down well a few months ago @TheQuin, you should really get wetsuit to add to the tremendous increase in the number of blockchain transactions, that would've been really useful.

So now you know some sort of bewnefits of BTC? Even though you don't actually know how many Bitcoin blocks there are?

Thanks pooya, I got 5f5b9f0₁₆ as being 99990000₁₀ on both that website and the built in python denary-to-hex converter, any  suggestions?

Is the CURRENT server seed.

Is there a record of every lottery winner's user id? I want to see how close I've ever come to winning anything.

Also is there a script avaliable for verifying it that gets released at the same time or do you assume users can write them (they're fairly easy to write but still)...

I'm not sure about their support. The withdrawal fee for Bitcoin is 0.001BTC which is extremely excessive.
The other withdrawal fees don't look too bad - a way to get you to trade them so they get 0.2% presumably.

That's not with Bitcoin. It's for altcoins and is unlikely you have done it as you ahve to send it to an address that isn't your own.

So no, they'd have been sent to someone else before they'd have been burnt and they wouldn't show up in your wallet anyway.

And yes, import your seed into another client.

Because the tickets are quite cheap.


Between this and an actual lottery, I think that's wrong. Usual lotteries have chances of something like 1 in 13 billion.

When you play a lottery every ticket is the same price. It's the quantity that changes.
There is no way to fix this site's lottery (unless you're considering taking over the bitcon network with a 99% hashrate or something that high - which would be needed to mine every potential block and use the one ending in the hash of the number you need to win). If you did this the 12.5BTC return every 10 minutes should be enough to appease you rather than fixing the odds of a lottery site to get your 1BTC.
Anyone buying 1 or 2 BTC worth of tickets are a bit stupid because they may as well just multiply with that 2BTC and get better odds from it.

They don't publish a block number the Bitcoin network does. To suggest they are messing up that means you have no faith in Bitcoin as a digital asset.

Tried that.
It still sets a 1 sat per byte fee.
I might have to downgrade a bit if there's no other solution.

I want to consolodate all my inputs and I would pay a fee (but I like round numbers too much) and miners already get the block reward anyway...

I'm not too fussed about the transaction EVER confirming, I just want to know if it's possible (and want to test my luck at getting it into a block).

I can use the console if it's easier to do it that way.

Do you know the txid (or the sending and recieving addresses) this will really help us in giving you help.

Usually something is considered unspendable if it has less than a certain number of confirmations. However, it may also depend on the format of the transaction so the txid or recieving address will be very helpful in confirming this.

What about the doge site? Any plans for that, are the two going to merge?

Ah yes, there were quite a lot of ponzis that used to get advertised there (there were ads for legitimate stuff like coinbase and other exchanges though).

Maybe, if you tried doing an auction here for a months' worth of adverts you'd get rid of ponzi scammers as they won't plan on their scheme lasting that long.

https://www.modmypi.com/blog/boost-usb-current - this might be helpful depending on how much you have used your Pi already (if you've already used a hard drive with it then you're good, however, if not, you need to change the config file to state max_usb_current=1)

The ads were removed about a year or two ago. I don't think they were making very much though. I think mostly there's an issue that a lot of the adverts probably came from other faucets or casinos so that might turn people away from freebitco.in (not sure though). I also think they used to charge $0.15 per 1000 impressions - it might have been a bit higher though like 1000000 instead of 1000.

@TheQuin, could you get wetsuit to put ads on freedoge.co.in to try to get the minimum reward up as 0.17 doge is a bit on the low side.

Yes IN THEORY but that's really risky.

You have to fully encrypt your wallet file (even without it open a json rpc command can be run to get the data from it). It is also possible to boot an app using PHP/Cookies.

You have to ensure all browser processes are completely terminated, not even background processes should be running or any other apps that are on your computer if they're not so trustworthy. Even with a password the request commands can still be changed (the address on the send to window and the amount can be changed also using a json rpc call).

I'm able to connect to it, retry now?

This is definitely the problem.

Get the first cosigner to sign the transaction in electrum (after importing the private key).

Or find a way to convert it into a format electrum can understand.

I can think there'll probably be a catch with the next one. They seemed to have given up on hashnest until recently, unless it's just me thinking that they've given up because nothing was really needed for a while as their site seems to be running fairly smoothly again.

The catch I'm thinking of is probably making the miners to be sold for like double the price that you could usually buy them for or something. Though it is quite a good way to mine and does usually bring in quite a good profit to get a miner straight from the shop as new (I don't think there's been a miner yet where someone hasn't ROI'd from doing that).

They also usually only like to support three currencies on their site, maybe they'll start doing a thing of offering a hash of each for a certain price and then convert it to Bitcoin. By the three currencies I mean they started off with BTC, LTC and DOGE and now they're limiting it to BTC, LTC and BCC.

You need to update windows as the others have suggested and it needs to be updated to windows 7 service pack 1.

You can find the info as to the current operating system installed here: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System (after loading explorer/control panel).

You should then get something like this:

We have a thread for trust discussion (reputation) so why not have one for merit also. There does seem to be a big merit cloud covering a lot of meta and its own section would help to cut down the meta section more and allow for it to be a place where we can discuss forum software and other ideas without seeing merit everywhere.

Did you get more than one copy of the first signed file from the other party?
If not then you should probably ask for another just in case your signed file has been corrupted along the way.

Check that it's definitely the right wallet you're trying to sign the transaction in also.
