 Potentially nothing at all as the gold price is already manipulated by the power brokers.

Can you take a gun to jail? Can you make a knife in jail? These are the things discussed on chapter 36 of my new book "How not to be raped in the first week of Jail"!


 What do you do after the first week?!

Sounds like you should head to the basement and take shelter (after you get that bacon cooked of course)


I don't have a basement.  Undecided

 This is not good notbatman!  At least you have bacon right?

There seems to be some confusion since you are looking at the encoded version of the Bitcoin address.

There are exactly 2160 possible addresses as long as we keep using RIPE-MD160.

2160 is 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976.

We don't have to guess at this by looking at the ASCII encoded values (the human readable form you are seeing).

Do you often worry that someday all of the oxygen molecules in the room you are in will spontaneously drift away from the part of the room you are in and you would die?  After all, that could happen, right?  It is not impossible, right?

That should be a bigger worry for you than running out of Bitcoin addresses.

I am wondering where you go tthe 2 from in that equation

It is impossible for all of the oxygen to spontaneouly move away from you in a room as there would have to be a less dense particle beneath it, to push it up and it wouldn't do so.

 Once you master bitcoin and mathematics, you should work on your science fundamentals; specifically those regarding density.  Less dense particles would be pushed up by those of higher density... they would "float" as it were; not the other way around.  Technically that's not what BurtW was getting at anyway.

8129  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: August 28, 2015, 11:31:38 PM
Does it?  Specs-wise, it is a good bit faster than the HD5870.  I can't say I know which specs' changes would best align with vanitygen changes, but it doesn't seem unfathomable.  I'm sure it's not even removely the fastest; but hardware review sites don't generally test against oclvanitygen Wink
I bought the 5870 when the R9s first came out, and it got swept by the HD5870s by about a 50% difference, as it did against the entire HD7xxx series.

 I can get 28MKeys/s with my Sapphire HD7970 and I recently acquired an ASUS Strix GTX 970 which gets 40+MKeys/s with much less power consumption.  

edit: This post is used as reference for the Vanitygen Bitcoin Wiki page so I thought I would add a screen cap which shows the performance of my Asus Strix GTX 970

Speaking of asshats, Steve Ballmer said in 2007 - "There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."

 Imagine if we'd listened to him and not invested in Apple.


Well show me a CEO that states that he would not prefer/use the products of his company! Of course he says anything in order to calm investors titties!

 I'll try.  In the meantime, show me a nobody whose opinion matters!

[edit: That was easy!  Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler is telling customers not to buy the Fiat 500E.  Your turn.]

If makeup, shoes, bag stores, convenient stores, supermarkets accept btc payment and offer discount for bitcoin payment.

most women do not like complicated to pay something
like if she have cash and credit card she will use credit card
Probably we need some kinds of bitcoin startups, whose branches are located at all corners around the world like banks. So women can always consult with them and learn the knowledge of bitcoin. Actually bitcoin is not comlicated just coz the women are lazy to learn new things IMO.
may be if you seriously to invim your Girlfriend/wife
you can give Bit-X debit card Smiley

 It's a ridiculous idea because they wont learn anything about Bitcoin.  It will only result in you having to top it up for them with more Bitcoin.
Giving anyone anything teaches them nothing about how to get it for themselves.

how we could motivate women to use Bitcoin because I tried several times to explain what it is and how to use Bitcoin ...was very difficult and have not really managed only once ..

 I would imagine that the reason you can't motivate women to use Bitcoin is that they usually leave well before you finish explaining what it is.  It's really not that interesting.

I would send it to Mark Karpeles as thanks for a job well done.

 He'd turn that into 850,000 bitcoins and then lose them again.

Every single offering in this thread is either bogus or simply doomed.

That sound so strangely familiar.  As if a guy going by crumbs said the very same thing about two years ago...
who'd of thunk it? crumbs was right... too bad he was such an asshat about it, people might have listened.

8140  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen if Bitcoin reach 1 USD exchange rate? on: August 15, 2015, 03:02:15 AM
It wouldn't even get to a dollar before people stopped mining which would result in extremely long (possibly infinite) confirmation times and that would most likely be the end of bitcoin.
