You won't be banned unless you break some rule. Seriously, this forum doesn't care about someone whining about something. I've seen far worse things been said about the staff and theymos and those threads still stay, but of course you're a butthurt conspiracy theorist so you'll make up something every time to suit your agenda.

Oh noes! A staff member insulted me. I demand he be put to death!

I suggest trial by not spammy posts.
8702  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Preventing Asic mining [fork] after next halving would solve a lot of problems. on: October 05, 2014, 04:03:42 PM

Quote from: yumei on Today at 02:37:33 PM
Actually we are in a phase of centralising the bitcoin network, from individuals to companies belonging big asic farms.

I don't think I'd call that "centralizing".  Perhaps you mean to say "consolidating"?

Actually there are less miners then we had 1 year before. I don´t have exact stats but I am guessing that 4-5 big asic farming companys control the market while one year ago it was spread into 1000 of miners. This is centralization for me.

My guess is that you confuse pools with miners and mining farms. Just because there are "only" 4-5 big pools, does not mean that all their hashing power belongs to them.


-snip-
You could enable only script mining like litecoins, I am not affine with the developing structure behing that, but there are altcoins where you can´t asic mine.

An ASIC is just a special purpise chip that does what a general purpose chip (CPU, GPU) does, but with higher energy efficiency and usually faster. There is no real way to prevent special hardware. There are litecoin (or better scrypt) ASICs. IMHO if a coin has no ASIC or GPU support yet its not because its not possible, but because its to expensive because the value per coin is not high enough.

-snip-
This kind of dumping we have right now would never happend without asic mining, because without asic mining there were 1000 of miners sharing their mining earnings. Actually there are only some big farms who mine the mayor part of bitcoins and control the market. They can move the markets dramaticly.

What makes you think that its miners that sell coins atm? Why not those two brothers?


-snip-
This is not capitalism, this is monopolism. You have some companys create new asic hardware, this companys mine thereself or sell their main parts to just 4-5 big companys.

Again, assumptions, gueswork. Do you have at least signs that your claims are true?
8703  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: Erklärung Blockzeit on: October 05, 2014, 02:56:56 PM
Blockzeit meint die angestrebte Zeit zwischen zwei Blöcken. Bei Bitcoin sind das 10 Minuten. Da die Berechnung von Blöcken in den meisten Fällen stark vom Zufall abhängt ist das nur der Durchschnittswert. Sollte der nach x (bei Bitcoin 2016) Blöcken zu niedrig oder zu hoch sein gibt es Methoden (bei Bitcoin Schwierigkeit bzw. difficulty) die Zeit anzupassen. Im Falle von Bitcoin ist es so das der Hashwert eine maximal "Größe" haben darf, wenn er als Zahl interpretiert wird. Werden zu viele Blöcke in zu kurzer Zeit gefunden steigt die Schwierigkeit und ein Hashwert muss kleiner sein um noch akzeptiert zu werden. Dadurch wird erreicht das trotz steigernder Rechenleistung die Zeit zwischen zwei Blöcken kontrolliert werden kann.

Viele Altcoins sind besonders stolz auf schnelle Blockzeiten, aber es gibt da nicht nur Vorteile.

edited first post, looks like some sites are displaying the wrong address

3MkwFfGNQDve7vz1z6gUDVxkuQpcSV3Mz8  multisig addresses tends to confuse said databases. IIRC old versions of blockchain.info just showed "cant decode outputs" or something similar. Its probably something like that.
8705  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can someone please explain this to me? on: October 05, 2014, 01:14:24 PM
So i was looking at the top 500 richest bitcoin addresses to see how they changed in the last couple months, and I came across something I do not understand.

The address ranked #153 (was 160) is 1M4vL7mvrKcG2mHas11snsbpktXtqNYJiD

go here and scroll down to 153: http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top100?page=2

It supposedly has 6,309.08 bitcoins in it and has had 725 inputs, but when i search the address on blockchain.info, or click the address from the richlist page, I only see 2 inputs for 0.00001 btc each, and a final balance of 0.00002.

Does anyone know what could be up?


Coins got moved to another address? Why must anything be "up" for people to move their coins around?

If it was moved there should be an entry of that move on the blockchain. Only thing I can think is that they might have misquoted the key on that 100 rich list.

Yes, I just got it wrong. I edited my post above.

Edit: nevermind, I understand now. My guess is that bitcoinrichlist uses an API that is not very reliable or has some issues with their own software. I think they track every block when it gets broadcasted with blocknotify and a database in the background. If that database is wrong the data shown will be wrong. And apparently its easy to confuse these databases with orphaned blocks as we can see on blockchain.info on a regular basis.

Thats not a good idea. The bootstrap.dat is as far as you should trust anyone else with the blockchain data your client uses.

we need a button to flag or vote to delete a post or response. 

simple math, say 51% of viewers flag it.. its gone.  the majority denied the message.  we as a community have deemed it inappropriate or undesired.  it is not enough to ignore.

we can change things!

Opinions welcomed :-)

Isnt this how reddit works? I dont know what you are reading, but I dont see more FUD the last 2 month than the last 6 months. Usually reading the title is enough to unwatch that thread and read the others I care about.

Und den Key behält bestimmt Amazon, falls BTC in USA sanktioniert wird werden alle paper-wallets von Amazon gesperrt  Cheesy

Ich glaub wenn Amazon verstehen würde wofür deren Marketplace da benutzt wird, gäbe es den Anbieter schon nicht mehr dort. Vielleicht sollte man denen mal ne längere Mail schicken. Also entweder direkt Amazon oder erst mal dem Anbieter. Bin gespannt warum die glauben das sei sicher. Hab auch schon die ersten Bingo Felder parat:

- nie zu Gesicht bekommen
- absolute Sicherheit
- höchste Ansprüche
- vollständig entfernt
- TÜV zertifiziert (eher unwahrscheinlich)
- neustem Stand der Technik
- von unabhängigen Experten geprüft

Respekt. 8 € für laminiertes Papier und als Bonus etwaige Bitcoin oben drauf. Auf die Idee muss man erstmal kommen.

Yes, but if we prefer those things, we lie about it, because society wants us girls to be interested in certain things, or at least pretend to be. Guys love dumb girls. We don't have much choice but to pretend to be dumb if we want guys to be into us. So we reinforce that stereptype.

Which more often than not result in boyfriends/husbands like this:

There are no any females on here, they're all too busy shoe shopping and watching reality tv. Bet you my last satoshi the OP a middle-aged man from Scunthorpe...

Any females wanting to get verified will have to send the admin proof of vag

Id rather say dont fuck someone w/o books.



And well society is fucked up anyway. I dont know why, but for some reason "they" (whoever actually is behind this) take perfectly fine woman and turn them into bones with skin (link because possible NSFW). Some more as gifs [1] for those that can no longer spot the differences. Marketing does the same with male models btw. [2] [3] [4] they are just harder to find

How about this: make a TX without fee and send the Satoshi back to the spammer. Its still blockchain bloat, but at least the spammers have to deal with it.

8715  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Cryptocurrency mining as a load-balancing mechanism for power utilities on: October 04, 2014, 08:46:24 AM
I like the idea. While Id prefer to see the excess electriciity shared locally I also see that its not allways possible. I know someone with solar panels, Ill ask him for numbers to figure out if its profitable. IIRC the return on the electricity given back to the grid was very small. And a few TH/s miners cost next to nothing in comparisson to a roof filled with solar panels. A problem could be reliabilty and heat though. If I have to make a one hour drive every week because the miner breaks down, it will not get broad acceptance. The heat could probably used for something else, the question is for what. Typicall days for extra electricity are sunny and thus "heating" should not be a problem.

If its your first ban it should be temporary. So you just have to wait.

Maybe gender differences really do exist, there, I've said it.

Yes they do, but gender is more like a spectrum than it is a binary (or ternary) "choice". Its similar to sexual orientation in that sense. I know girls (or woman) that would rather build their own computer and write code than go shopping and I know boys (or men) that are the opposite. Its not that men and women are not different, its just that the stereotypes are wrong.

Sorry goddyvips001, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.

link for the lazy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381609

You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com .

This is the msg shown in my account,I contacted the email but no reply, so I created a new account to known why my account got banned.

To post here (Meta) and ask about it is fine, just dont post elsewhere or you risk getting this account banned as well.

when created my new acc I send 0.0001 btc to enable posting.

This has nothing to do with the ban or anything else. It just means that your IP had plenty "evil" points, which is common if you use Tor.

I only visited off topic and beginners forum and joined one campaign of bitoo.io.never asked for loan and never traded with someone.than why I banned on the site.what I should do now.

Scammers do not get banned, but spammers. Those with a paid signature are more likely to get banned. Stay away from the off-topic section (that is not a must, just a tip) and increase your overall post quality and you should be fine for the future. You have some lengthy posts in speculation and plenty of very short post. You also started 22 threads, that sounds like to much for the number of posts you have.


Maybe you posted to many times off-topic or spam via private message  Huh mod/admins do not ban you for no reason


Your posting pattern looks similar, just saying.
