I think it should be pretty obvious that nobody bruteforced sha-256 or the key, you are overcomplicating - there are so many ways the password can be leaked and so few ways it could be cracked, that I'd bet my car against a beer on chances of crack vs leak  Smiley

In most of these API implementations, they key is checked by an endpoint, and in some badly written systems it stores the key for verification directly in code or config files, which in some badly managed systems can be seen by developers or god knows who while in transit. Even if they key only exists on production servers where only trusted admin has access to, who can be sure that their cheap hosting company (interserver) which does backups for them does proper encryption?

All in all, if site operators really believe in what they posted, then it's a good enough reason to never put any BTC on that exchange, as they obviously don't understand what happened. Or lied. Or both Smiley

PS but at least they handled the situation well. Better than most other victims of the bitcoin economy Smiley

All of this, especially the bolded part.

the 32 bit part is a real buzzkill. you won't find many buyers who will sacrifice their > 4GB ram just to save some money.

I believe the serial will work with a 64-bit copy. Just download the trial from ms and use it to activate.
[citation needed] also, there's no such thing as a windows 7 "trial" from Microsoft.
All windows versions will work for 30 days x3 with the slmgr.vbs /rearm trick, which is plenty "trial" enough for me.

Here are direct genuine MS downloads for ISOs that should work:

Indeed.... are these retail or VLK copies?  Also how did you get these links?
Nice! Thanks for the info. I typically use my technet so have not had a reason to look at other sources but I'm sure this would be incredibly helpful for anyone who is interested in picking up a copy.

Question about "watch addresses"

I added an address to my blockchain.info wallet to watch only. This seemed like a very useful feature, but now I am unable to see my actual wallet balance (without the watch address for which I have not provided the keys), nor do I see a way to remove this watch address.

Please help?
You are right... the delete option is gone..... piuk?

I picked up a 1000 BTC coin and one of the really sharp looking 10 BTC silver coins with the gold B.

Epic stuff!

Thanks Mike!
You gonna declare that when you re-enter Wink

are interest payments scripted or only done if payb.tc is awake?
Only scripted if it is a planed absence.

In other words we are waiting for him to wake up.

Use bitaddress.org to generate a batch then hand them out....  You can redeem them as needed.  If your volume is enough then you can pay to make it more automated.

Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second it would still take 1.54 hundred thousand centuries.

Given this was an API key and not an offline attack: Assuming one thousand guesses per second (which is still *crazy* generous for an online attack) that is 15.41 thousand trillion centuries.

Those numbers are for a 100% search, so even halving them doesn't look very good...

I routinely sell 1000 BTC there at 2% below gox price.  check the depth, I've been there almost every day for the last 2 months.
So you are actually helping pirate to bring the price down?
He's avoiding mtgox, problem?
While my previous statement was more a joke (see bitpays claim to trade against pirate), selling 2% below gox does in fact attract arbitrage traders (bots?). And arbitrage has several effects, first a lower gox price, and second this results in additional trades on gox, which ensures that gox stays the biggest exchange. If bit-pay would be selling for say 0.5% below gox, arbitrage would not be profitable, and some real buyers could buy those cheap coins.


I would love to do arbitrage between BF and MTGox.  I find the BF consistently has cheaper coins than Gox.  The trouble is getting $$ out of Gox and back into BF.  I have no intention of 'verifying' my MtGox account so I believe its not just trouble, but impossible for me to get $$ out of Gox.  At the same time its hard to justify selling BTC on BF when I could sell them on Gox for 1-5% more...
Deposit USD into BF, sell BTC on GOX.

But if you are not going to get verified on GOX than your arbitrage future is dim anyway Wink

Awesome stuff guys.

However I am sad that you all seem rather normal, I did expect some guns or crackpipes on the table.
I was expecting Tony Soprano

Relax guys, no need for a string of me toos.  It'll come when it comes Smiley

Pirates been in Vegas and according to another poster his house has flooded, so I imagine he's quite busy.
sauce?

I was expecting DEFCON pictures. Is that so much to ask for for someone who has 5-10% of the entire bitcoin economy in pocket?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think electronic devices (including cameras) are allowed inside.
You're wrong.

See, that's what I was talking about.

Someone steals thousands of Bitcoins, you guys open a thread to discuss about the issue and you guys just talk about Maria, about boobs and irrelevant stuff.

I mean it's okay to make fun but not when there's a debt and a theft that should be cleared.
Assuming Maria had bitcoins with ZT at all...

My hunch is that only trusted lenders will see pirate, like giga and goat.
