9061  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: matoshinno scam? or What is it? on: September 04, 2014, 02:43:45 PM
Anyone know? Please help me understand what exactly matoshinno code is. I've checked on google and everywhere. All i find out is people either asking for money to tell you how to use it or selling codes. it's suppose to let you multiple your bitcoin.... sounds like a scam Idk, but I have a code now. I traded a BTC T-shirt for a code lol.

I can multiply your coins, as long as you are fine with a multiplier of 0.5.

No, seriously, anyone that has at least a rudimentary understand of bitcoins knows that its not possible to multiply (as in double or tripple etc.) coins. In fact there are no bitcoins to multiply in the first place, thats just an abstraction to make it easier for us. On a technical level bitcoin is just a long chain of transactions where each input is exactly the same size as the output, What you consider "your coins" are actually unspend outputs. You can copy the corresponding private keys that allow you to sign a TX, but that will give you any more or higher "value" outputs to spend.

Can I haz T-Shirt nao?

You can specify the same data directory with "-datadir" in a .conf file. See here.

it is not for end-users
it is for professionals Sad

Its not even a solution*, read the post by gmaxwell again. I think for those "end-users" you have in mind a slim client (e.g. Electrum, Multibit, etc.) would be perfect. While I dont think that its good to have less and less full nodes Im also positive that there will be enough "professionals" as you call them.


*IIRC its not even possible to define a data dir from config file, but only via launch argument. That information might be outdated though.

In that case I apologize for the wrong report and this should be in service discussion.


Clicking the "forgot pass" link (if available) is still the way to go IMHO. If that does no help contact support. Nothing anyone here can do.

9066  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum broadcasting same transaction on: September 04, 2014, 06:44:18 AM
Thank you. This is helpful!

Edit:
What if address is not changed to address C? for example what if address A still has some funds?

Thats not possible. Every input (former unspend output) has to be spend entirely*. You could use A as your changeaddress however. This would send the funds back to A. It wouldnt allow you to use the same TX though, since its a new unspend output with different properties.

*everything that is not spend will be considered a minersfee IIRC.
9067  Other / Meta / Re: Has my Accuracy got stuck ? on: September 04, 2014, 06:14:01 AM
Lets assume 97.0000% of these are correct, thats 1843 correct and 57 not. In order to reach 97.5% (I assume thats when 98% will be shown) he would have to make 2223 total correct reports vs 57 bad. Thats 380 good reports without fail.

Accuracy is always rounded down IIRC, so it'll take even longer.

People shouldn't worry about accuracy much, and certainly not single percentage points.

In that case its just 950 correct reports Wink

Thanks, I wanted to add the actual math to show just how far the spread can be but ...I''m bad at math (it's why I changed my major from comp sci).

I actually just made a spreadsheet, maybe thats why I dropped out of math as a major Wink

oh well.. what a coincidence, that a invest-only accounts feature has been implemented right after you lost. a feature, you were looking very much forward to, as I understood.

or wait, was it right before you lost?

I enabled my "gambling protection" yesterday when the site was up ~100 BTC, a little later it was down at least 50 I guess thats when doog won. Now its back up to 108. The feature has been requested not only by doog for a while and it was also promissed to be available soon.

It will be different this time, but apparently I cant totaly stay away.



I think shorena and rock_collector have covered most everything there is to cover. Perhaps worth noting:

3,4,7,9,12,16,30,37,43,48,51,55,59,65: is not a well-known integer sequence at http://oeis.org
I also checked a couple variants in case our sequence identification was incorrect/flawed.

On the other hand, 3,4,7 happen to be near the start of the Lucas sequence (basically Fibbonacci but starting with 2,1):
2,1,3,4,7,11,18,29,47,....

"Take a W@@@lk with me." and "1follow me" are the content added to the Alice in Wonderland quote. My suspicion is that both clues point to twitter, although "walk with me" could also imply walking along some kind of numerical sequence.

I won't be in on this too much for at least the next few days due to moving. I'm curious to see how things emerge.

Lets see if we get any notes within the blocks.

Nope, they changed the rate for Sr. with the new period (Sept.). Maybe you didnt check?
9071  Other / Meta / Re: Has my Accuracy got stuck ? on: September 03, 2014, 06:03:43 PM
I'm not talking about the number of reports being stuck but the percentage.

So maybe is it an error? I'm stuck at   : You have reported 79 posts with 74% accuracy   

I doubt it. As BadBear said percentages move quickly when you have few reports and barely noticable when you have >1000 reports. IIRC hilariousandco is at >1900 reports probably more now.

Lets assume 97.0000% of these are correct, thats 1843 correct and 57 not. In order to reach 97.5% (I assume thats when 98% will be shown) he would have to make 2223 total correct reports vs 57 bad. Thats 380 good reports without fail.

For 79 posts with ~74.6835% assumed accuracy (59 good, 20 bad) you only need 1 good report (60/(60+20) = 75%)

wait, you what? You spam 3 threads here with the same text, give next to no info and now you magically solved the problem? At least explain in public what the problem was and how you solved it, so when someone else has the same problem in a week or a month they dont need to send you a mail and you have no idea what they are talking about...

9073  Other / Meta / Re: Just curious on: September 03, 2014, 05:49:18 PM
Interesting... Maybe badbear the nazi wasn't an admin at the time?

So you are butthurt and ban evading?

Not long ago (P. Gage.) used his alt account (Gleb Gamow) to spam over 10 posts containing a link to his reddit.com/r/bitcoin thread (for his 'bucket of shit' challenge). Now I reported all 10+ of these posts and subsequently they all got deleted. (no hard feelings, I was just doing my job). What I don't understand is that: IF this was the average bitcointalk member, I am close to certain they would've received a permaban for this type of behaviour. Henceforth, my question is: Why wasnt a ban handed out for blatant spam (10+ posts all similar with the same link which all got deleted by moderators)

IMHO most older accounts could pull something like this and not get banned. As long as your usual posts are not spam it should be fine. Every one of us has a bad (or spammy) day.

9075  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: On Pricing Etiquette on: September 03, 2014, 01:15:14 PM
-snip-

Point being...there is a reason why so many merchants that are accepting BTC, especially the larger mainstream ones, are using Coinbase to trade out at market rate...it's still early days and price relative to fiat can move quickly.  This should settle down congruently with increased adoption.

As I expected "flash crashes", 10% movements for minutes with fast recovery behind it. Mt. Gox is a good example why you dont keep your coins at an exchange, thats not the topic here. But yes, if an exchange goes "boom" your coins might be worthless/gone. A flash crash does not mean that my bitcoins are worth nothing the next second, usually its just some idiot that learns how to use an exchange or thinks its wise to test that new trading bot on a live API.

When I make a trade with BTC I dont cashout the second after the 1st confirmation (isnt possible with most exchanges anyway), but as of now I always kept them/bought something else with BTC.

The reason why bigger and larger merchants use payment processors is because their suppliers need to get paid in fiat and thus their profit caluclation is done in fiat and their price is set in fiat. Payment with BTC is merely anyother way to get fiat for them. I suspect very few of the traders that do trades on the board (see OP if in doubt who we are talking about here) have those problems.

Yes I think its a reference to the blockchain. The X marks certain blocks, as well as the text and those "blocks" with numbers in them.

I received this tweet this morning - it appears to be related to this post. https://twitter.com/TR3N47Y/status/506830281064468481

Shorena, I wouldn't walk away so soon. I'm certainly intrigued. Seems I'm being called out. Game on.

Just a little bit of research:

The text (difference to quote below in bold)

Quote
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be, it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? 1follow me

is a quote from the alice in wonderland (1951) movie

Quote
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043274/quotes

Again after "isn't. And contrary" in code directly below eachother:

Code:
 wise, what is, it wouldn't be, it would. Take a W@@@lk with me. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? 1follow me
-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Apparently it goes under your skin (at least for some)



Take a W@@@lk with me and 1follow me stand out besides the differences in punctuation...

1follow me might hint towards a bitcoin address, searched it, ended up on twitter aaand Im out.

Apparently people post pictures of their penises on twitter... who knew.


Sorry, not this time. Enjoy the rabbit hole, dont get lost.

What is the accepted etiquette for BTC pricing as far as deadlines go?

I dont think there is an universal rule yet.

-snip-
 I'm hoping to get around $100 USD for my item

If you want 100 USD ask for 100 USD in BTC (post it like this) and name an exchange (or several) where you will check the price when the trade is done.

I know that some companies (Overstock, I think) give a one minute (or so) deadline for the BTC price for just this reason, so what is the accepted forum etiquette on BTC price deadlines? Hours? Days? Forever?
-snip-

In all my trades and in almost all others I see (expect for maybe mining hardware) asking prices are given in USD, EUR, AUD, etc. I usually name bitstamp daily average as the exchange rate, but I also stay felxible when the other site wants to use another big exchange or any price I think is reasonable Im fine with it. Once the price in BTC is set any price fluctuations are risk of trading. Its not like its going to double/half within a few minutes.
9080  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how many bitcoins will there be ? on: September 02, 2014, 09:58:55 PM
there shall be 21 000 000 bitcoins it total but will be less due to lost passwords etc. and last bitcoin will be mined around 2140

around 1% is lost 4ever :ooooo
How do you know this?  Where did you get this number?  Do you have a reference?

Well, technically the bitcoins are not gone, its just that noone can spend them.

Anyway there was a post about it[1] by DeathAndTaxes not so long ago. Those estimates are nowhere near 1%

Interstingly, wasn't there a flaw discovered earlier this year that would cause the number of Bitcoins being created with each block to re-start at 50 BTC after all 21 million coins were put into circulation or something?

Yep, fixed though.

-snip-
Somewhat related: I just found BIP42 [1] and the pull request [2] for it. Love it.

Lost coins can be seen as profit for all other bitcoiners because the bitcoins in circulation will be more scarce.
True, but where did the 1% number come from?  Out of PublicKey's ass?

IMHO (see above why), yes! People tend to pull percentages out of their behinds all the time.
