It sure as hell is the breed. Quite often in my country I hear similar stories about pitbulls. It's their trait.

Just do a live stream of playing MC on the server and then people can collaborate that way. I.e twitch.

Update 6/30

- Contra code has been solved.

- IP address has been discovered.

- Server has been accessed.



EDIT: Could it be some kind of OP private server?
Afaik, should be public. The IP is above.

as soon as i found and converted the binary code my gut feeling was that it would be a minecraft server but i didn't know how to check it. It seems like you have to pay to play minecraft? So is anyone who can't play now stuck with this ?
yeah, requiring somebody to purchase a piece of software is not cool
Luckily, I bought Minecraft in September 2010 and have had free updates ever since.

The QT variant was not introduced before early to Mid 2012 if memory serves me right, before QT it was using WxWidgets.

Has anybody noticed the thread title changes? It goes from ARG Puzzle with 3.53 BTC Private Key Prize***** to ARG Puzzle with 3.5 BTC Private Key Prize

I did, I am guessing it is because of some "troll" transactions.....
It's been happening for a while now.

834  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is funding a development team really that difficult? on: June 28, 2014, 08:42:10 PM
When I talked about "crisis" I didn't mean funding crisis - there's more funded work being done on Bitcoin Core now than at any time in the past. I was referring specifically to the way protocol development is grinding to a halt because of a lack of clear design principles combined with a culture that's become hopelessly adversarial - any proposed change is deluged with people coming up with any possible reason to object, without any kind of cost/benefit analysis being done. This is not going to motivate people to work on the many upgrades that we need or want. Scalability is just one of them. Robustness matters too.

That said, although funding isn't in "crisis" per se, it's not where it probably should be. There are only three full time Core devs, four if you count Jeff though I think he also works on Bitpay's Javascript infrastructure too.

For comparison that's the same size as the BitPay Copay multisig wallet project. It's smaller than a lot of indie video games. It's smaller than the teams working on Coinbase, or Circle, or Hive. It's smaller than the team at YouTube that works on counting video playbacks.

Many companies have a larger team working on their intranet!

Yet, this is the backbone that handles about $8 billion of value.

It's not just me that is concerned by that. Yes, Bitcoin is larger than it once was. Compared to the massive growth in importance of the system though, it's not much larger. E.g. the project is maybe 3x larger than it used to be, but the value in dollar terms is 500x larger. So I think we need to try and address this, somehow. I'd like to see more in the region of 10 people working full time on Core, then we'd be making really significant progress on robustness, scaling, decentralisation and privacy issues.
Can't believe you are so money hungry greedy you would leave as soon as money drops by $50-100. Do you know, that in my country people live off $310 per month? I am sure you get at least 10 times as much, at least.

Can't believe you would starve if you worked for free for a bit.

837  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BitHunt Toronto - Real Life Bitcoin Treasure Hunt on: June 27, 2014, 07:38:15 PM
Hello There! We are the BitHunt Team and we have a proposal for you.

Have you ever participated in a treasure hunt? How about one with bitcoin? In real life?
That's what I thought.

Now, what we want to do is run an entirely community funded REAL LIFE bitcoin hunt!
How would we do this? Well, this is how:
1) We ask you, the bitcoiners, to donate some BTC to our "Donation Wallet".
2) We transfer some or all of the funds out to a Paper Wallet that we will seal and hide somewhere in the GTA.
3) You, the bitcoiners, follow the hints we give on our twitter and facebook feeds to find the wallet.
4) Profit!

Simple as that! Have any questions? Ask away! But first, please read the FAQ below. Thanks!

FAQs:
Q) How do I know you won't steal the coins?
A) Well, our donation wallet is hosted on Coinbase, AND we will even tell you on our social feeds when we are transferring funds, so you can follow them if you'd like.

Q) How long does someone have to find the wallet?
A) We were planning on giving people 24-48h to locate it, after which we will transfer the funds back into the Donation Wallet for the next hunt.

Q) Where will the wallets be hidden?
A) All of the wallets will be hidden in public areas such as "Chinguacousy Park" (Brampton), "Evergreen Brick Works" (Toronto), "Erindale Park" (Mississauga) etc.

If you're still reading this, we have a survey at our website (http://bithunt.ml) that we would like you to take for us!

I'd be grateful if someone here could help out with curve compression for me.

Thanks.

Compression of elliptic curve points is patented by Certicom, so you should not use it without the license, generally.

And do whatever you want.

I have made that suggestion before but since my morse code ain't that good I stopped at: c t h u l t (.) t k e t s e C e t s o

Which parts are you using?

Those c t h u l  letters sound an awful lot like cthulhu, the HP Lovecraft works. Could be a false lead though.

"Remember - steganography is so effective bc of the volume of noise" - From YT Coin_Artist via twitter DM on the night of the pictures release

She also told me "there's more than meets the eye"

And "I'm not going to say anything else - can't give things away, Wink"


This is just some personal info I had that i would like to share.




Curious, who is this woman? If she can produce such a painting with a hidden message that even collectively isn't solved yet...I am intrigued. I can only infer it's a man at this point(sorry if I am discriminating here).

Any relation to this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YTCracker. Pretending to be a woman does also infer hidden desires, but I guess this discussion is best left for 4chan.
