So my question is, will you then earn half the money with the same hashrate?  Huh

If the difficulty doesn't change, you will earn half the bitcoins. Difficulty typically increases, so by next year you will probably be making less than that.

How much money you earn depends on the price you sell the bitcoins (if you sell them...).

Perhaps we should create a separate wiki, run by people that have more commitment?

A wiki is made by people. Creating another wiki will not help. If there are people with more commitment, just point them to the current wiki.

I think I will start I10coin, just in case... Oh, and by the way, I will put the 21million coins in the first block.

No, I won't do that. I will put only 20million coins in the first block, and the rest of the 1 million left for the other miners. don't you think my plan is better than yours?

Well, honestly... I think both plans suck  Tongue

So you think that Satoshi Nakamoto is not only a cryptologyst/programmer, but also writes novels?  Roll Eyes

Please open back up. I want to buy your product. Don't make me wait too long please.

What's the rush? Are there any stores accepting it?

As far as I'm concerned, here's the red flag I noticed on his page (in red)

if you enter your payout address carefully,
and are not using a stolen credit card,
you should see your coins immediately


Why include this line of text?

I think that is related to what he wrote on reddit. I'll quote:


Quote
Google actually has a very good system in place for fraud detection. It turns out that my third customer was trying to use his girlfriend's credit card to purchase coins (he assures me it was with her permission), and the payment was rejected. Very unexpected and happy surprise on my end for sure.
Since I am using that system (it's opt in) in theory if a chargeback does occur, google says that it will take the hit rather than me. The program only really covers physical items that are being shipped, but anyone can subscribe to the notifications, and I am quite impressed so far.

I have a bunch of them too and I do not request anything. Just send me your email  Cool
889  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the hottest eWallet right now? on: August 17, 2011, 12:45:21 AM
I HIGHLY suggest http://www.flexcoin.com/. I use them and I recommend it to all of my customers.

I deposited some coins there too. They seem nice, but they charge 0.01BTC or 0.5% (whichever is greater) for withdrawals.

How much do these services usually cost? And also, why do you think it is not a good idea to use an exchange? It is usually free to deposit/withdraw bitcoins at exchanges.
890  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New Ixcoin fork -> I0coin on: August 17, 2011, 12:39:16 AM
there is https://i0exchange.bitparking.com/ (which appears to be down now xD)

you can trade bitcoins for i0coins there but I believe i0coins have no current USD/Euro/CAD value yet Sad

It's working here and there actually a lot of buy orders and no sell orders... wow. Shocked
891  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin vendors that accept Paypal on: August 17, 2011, 12:33:52 AM
Buy in http://btcnow.net with credit card (if you have one).

They guy changed the price from $14 to $18. 2.6BTC for $44 is a better deal Wink
892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy bitcoins using Google Checkout - btcnow.net on: August 16, 2011, 09:55:46 PM
wait look at the prices $18 a coin lol that guy is almost doubling his profits if he bought them at 9.** a coin

He changed from $14 to $18. That's stretching the rope... People will not pay $18 for a bitcoin right now.

Anyway, I think he only wants to test out the scammers. Someone should claim a chargeback on him  Cool
893  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A trick for long passwords in Linux on: August 16, 2011, 09:45:17 PM
BUT, that assumes that the password hacker knows that he is using an md5 hash for his password.  So few people would actually store their passwords in such a manner that it would not be worth it for a generic brute-force program to attempt to break into a passwords list by using a prehashed list like that.  The only way it would be insecure is if it was a targeted attack against a known subject who was known to be using such a password storage method.  Like the OP.

Basically, it's very secure (IMO), as long as you don't announce to the world that you're using it.

You are right, but I wouldn't use this with simple english words. Adding md5 of dictionary words to a wordlist is easy and it doesn't take that long to test.
It is a nice method, but use a fairly good password with it.

Anyway, I propose an improvement because some stupid websites still require that you use a password with upper letters, lower letters, numbers and signs regardless of how long your password is:

Quote
$ echo -n c00l_password! | md5sum | awk '{printf $1}' | base64
NWY0ZWVmMzRmZTM3YmU5MDlhNmRiNzc1NWFkMzk2NDA=

  • Using base64 after md5 guarantees the = sign at the end
  • It is a little longer and it is more unlikely that it will be at included in any wordlist
  • md5sum outputs '-' so I have to use that ugly awk
894  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitMarket.Eu - Paypal no longer available! on: August 16, 2011, 07:06:55 PM
Within two months BitMarket is going to be transformed into an exchange operating in a similar exchange as Mt. Gox, where users are able to transfer their money directly to us and then trade safely. There will also be a much more advanced login procedure in place (2-step authentication). BitMarket will also become an Irish limited company accepting: EUR, GBP, PLN, USD and CHF. There will also be small fees for using it; however, for our most loyal users that have been supporting us constantly trading will remain free of charge.

Will you still allow peer-to-peer exchanges? The big exchanges (Mt Gox and Tradehill) are having lots of trouble setting up SEPA transfers. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I have been buying bitcoins at Bitmarket. It is really simple and it is always available.

Well you are right that I took much of my inspiration for the "front page" from flattr. In-fact you are the first one to point that out, good eyes on you. The reason you ask? well I'm not a designed, I am a back-end developer and Business man, and therefore I do my best when it comes to designing my web services. This means I most take my inspiration from somewhere and use this "inspiration" to build amazing unique custom solutions. I did do all the graphic work myself having this "inspiration" in mind.

Hope this will clarify things for you, if not then you can always talk with me by phone, irc, or email if you so like.

Kind regards
Kris

Bitcoins and micro payments are often mentioned together. I noticed the similarities because I visited Flattr a few days before.

It's nothing personal. I understand you are not a designer. I am a back-end developer myself and I would have to go though a lot of trouble if I wanted to create a good looking website alone Wink I will take a closer look at walletbit.
896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HELP is there a Paste-down bitcoin button (UK) on: August 16, 2011, 06:43:17 PM
I've looked at bit pay , which isn't available in GBP yet

Have you contacted them? I think they are internationally available as long as you receive your money in bitcoins.
897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy bitcoins using Google Checkout - btcnow.net on: August 16, 2011, 06:38:03 PM
I just bought 1 coin, paid with [...], and received my coin within a minute!! [not days!?!]

Now this is really unusual in the bitcoin world  Cool

Let's wait and see what happens when someone claims a chargeback.
898  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: first time transaction on Bitmarket.eu -> money gone? on: August 16, 2011, 02:40:17 PM
What is your bitcoin address? You use blockexplorer to check where the money went. It can take a while to confirm the transaction.
899  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best eWallet? on: August 16, 2011, 01:01:49 PM

I disliked them from the moment I saw the website. It's a complete ripoff of Flattr

Has anyone tried it? It's a little expensive, but it sounds like a good way to quickly buy bitcoins. There's a reddit thread.
