Just hypothetical. Do you not think behind closed doors in some government office they have sat down and discussed what it would take to get rid of bitcoin?

Take my scenario. You wouldn't have to know it's big brother doing it. It would just be anonymous. Right? With a devaluation large enough during a big swing up, you could cause serious damage to a whole list of players in the game. Toss on top of it potential 51% attacks.

Toss one more thing on top of it. Some three letter acronym of the government shutting down all US based exchanges and exchange accounts tied to US banks and declaring a war all at the same time. With the drop in price. With the 51% attacks. Isn't that more likely the fall of bitcoin? At least a huge set back. Something a government could easily pull off in a year or two and put Bitcoin back at square one.

Why would anyone trust something like that anymore? People will have lost money, businesses will have lost profits and trust.

It's just an imaginary situation. I really don't think Bitcoin can be destroyed. That doesn't mean that an opposing army won't try.

I'm good. Remove the scammer tag.

Wait, wtf is this post about?

They could send them to somewhere like http://blockchain.info/address/1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

However, couldn't they do more damage by keeping them and not doing anything with them? Think about it, if they acquired 5 million bitcoins, half of what is in circulation today. And DIDN'T destroy them. But at any time they could dump them on the market. Think about that. Economy gets bigger, trading volumes in excess of 100,000 every single day not just on spikes. Value worth $100's of dollars each. Then they spend a bunch of them and immediately crash the market. That could destroy a lot of confidence into what BTC stands for. Instead of just destroying the coins and making others worth more isn't something like that more likely?

Acquire millions of them while raising the price. Then crush the system. That's a much better malicious strategy if someone really wants to squash things. Or say like a government. Acquire the tons of coins. Then buy out avalon and ramp them up. Accomplish a couple of 51% attacks during the dump and screw up exchanges and everything else. There's always a chance. The government can just print the money to accomplish something like that right? Chances are less greater of that happening than you finding the private key to the address above.

You haven't yet however apologized for not sending me a spam PM. I'm STILL WAITING! Apology or a PM, your choice.

I don't know how you're "loading your wallet" But if you are putting the wallet.dat on the computer and opening bitcoin, you need to run it with the rescan option so it will go through the block chain and find all of the transactions for each of the addresses in your wallet.

lol

Prove it. Sign the address where they are stored.

I see both transactions in the block chain and no coins sent back to it. The 0.06 is harder to tell because you use it for dice rolling but the 0.01 is clear as mud nothing has been sent back.

oohhhh


Now I know I'm left out because I asked for free TRC and didn't get the spam message Now I know rabbit just hates me!

Yeah, 114hGBRkH4CYEPfCjWLnjmqTij2ymwcddu doesn't look like a vanity address.

Do you have your wallet encrypted? If you do, what he is saying, you have to unlock it first. Can you import any privatekey? Or are all of them giving you this message? Are you using bitcoind or qt?

Everyone always cries about how the start isn't fair, not everyone knew about the alt coin etc etc

How about, the first 5000 blocks have 1 reward in them, then at block 5000 or whatever number, then it jumps up to the 50 or whatever it's going to be? That way people can start mining pools can start, then no one cries.

I'll call this idea, fairnovacoin or fnc for short after our long departed friend fair brix.

Maybe there is a new market for my idea.

I wanted to make a website and server, where you can send me any amount of BTC and I will automatically send you back 98.1% back to the address you sent it from. That's a tons better deal than what this guy is offering, and mine will be totally automated. Send it to my specific address, and it will automatically send it back to you.

Should I finish it?

I feel left out I didn't get any spam PM's

You can upload the wallet directly to blockchain.info and have access to the coins without dumping the private keys. Is english not your first language? Maybe one of the language subforums could help you better. It's not as hard as you're making it out to be.

Spend some time on the bitcoin Wiki understanding how bitcoin addresses, private keys, and wallets work.

I use chrome as well. I've tested it when I get the 502's and I'll open Firefox 19 and get the same error. Only lasts for a minute or two. When you first switched, it was longer, now, just momentarily.

No hay de que. actualmente solo funciona en los Estados Unidos.

I do not think that it is all automated currently. I think they have a text or email sent to them, they confirm everything, then place an order for a pizza. It may be partially automated or scripted, but I think that they have some manual work involved.

What we need is for pizza hut, dominos, papa johns to give us API's like blockchain.info and nerds will rule the world everywhere.

8 people also chose $22,000 when that was the largest option. 

I'm not a bear exactly either and I think the price will stabilize somewhere below 90 USD.

Did you try my suggestion of dumping the private key and importing it somewhere like blockchain.info and sending it out from there?

When you say you see the addresses in the wallet, you mean on receive page? Or what? Try signing a message with the addresses and see if you can sign it. That would indicate if your wallet has control of those addresses. Try both of them.
