I've reasoned to not buy anymore, for investment.  I never held a large amount of a coin, up to a few hundred dollars, but I've reasoned this.
Every public key related to an exact private key.
The algorithm to keep the private key a secret is very complicated.

I know if you google about brute force cracking public to private keys, it would take something, like, millions of years, with the current technology.
Though, I've also read, a few years ago, about things like "Rainbow Tables", that find patterns and stuff while trying to crack stuff, in a complicated way.
Now, Technology, and I'm thinking software now, is obviously evolving at increasing rate.

Artificial Intelligence is to.

I was looking plainly at a public and private key, and though, they're a bunch of keyboard keys , and one relates to another, so, they're the same thing, private
 key, public key.

But obviously I couldn't find a pattern simply by looking at the characters.  Maybe someone very smart could looking at a few hundred or so and figure it out, that would be wild.

Anyway, obviously some kind of pattern COULD  exist, and I'm not saying I'm right, because I do not comprehend the cryptography behind it, I only know some basic coding in a couple languages, but nothing about cryptography.  I do know, that a lot of smart people, are working on AI, as it's the future of stuff.

So, why couldn't a coder, start coding, methods where the software its self, in an AI way, start finding patterns in these private and public keys?  I haven't been looking into BTC in a while, maybe there's articles about this already, but I was just thinking about it.  

I think its possible a group, or someone, could find a pattern, using advanced code, Ai in mind, to decipher public keys.
The method of how it's encrypted is known, (Though, Wow, it seems confusing)
But the fact that that's known, and that it's a series of characters, means, there could (I think there IS) patterns to easily crack any public key, with a very sophisticated method, AI coding (If that's a term)

If that happened, and groups of people figured this out, the whole thing and all the alties would collapse.

Those are my thoughts. I don't "invest" anymore though I think its a great future as a currency even in practical non-tech environment, like a credit card.  

What do you think?

posted a mac wallet in discord

I have the resources to create new coins for anyone interested. ( based off of existing coins, with mods )
I also provide windows and osx wallets for existing coins , for ETH BTC or bounty.
contact would be easier via discord channel https://discord.gg/Tb8RzKQ

Price range will vary depending on the amount of work involved.
Thanks.

any addnodes?  The ones in the top post only get me 1 connection and the wallet will not synch past 34899. Am i on a fork?

Edit: I deleted my blockdata/peers file and am attempting to resync with coinexchange.io's add-nodes, which are

addnode=188.166.175.90
addnode=96.127.179.70
addnode=217.175.119.125
addnode=148.251.54.6
addnode=185.2.101.34
addnode=51.15.162.15
addnode=178.63.69.245

addnode=51.254.45.117
addnode=60.104.54.79
addnode=93.115.61.74

Edit: none of these nodes worked

I'll update if it syncs fully.  Their wallet seems up to date.

Update: NO synch

confused- isn't it now 10:26 utc?

Not sure which address it goes to exactly. no if you look at the pools their in the GH/s, scrypt = asic mining

No that's normally for pools

This worked for me, on a fresh 14.04 vps

Is this coin related to NumusCash?  That coin just hit coinmarketcap also.

Will we acquire Ignis depending on what we had on the 1st? or when it drops?   nxt holders i mean

Edit: Nevermind, I did some reading and found that the snapshot has already been taken.

Couple questions..
Im downloading the nxt blockchain and the connection seems to 'halt' over and over again.. I turned off my firewall completely and the same thing happens.. using the most recent client.. is this common?
.. i wish i held these back in 2014.. I remember the first nxt exchange but forget the name, where nxt and a few others were sold (nas?) anyone remember the name or if the sites still around?

buying Snowgems, pm pls

I built a mac wallet https://www.dropbox.com/s/mz7okep13ay98w5/vsync-qt-1.dmg?dl=0
 

the art of bag-holding. I'm coming back in a couple years.

So I have set up 3 machines able to make wallets, which I have been messing around with for about a week now, and Was wondering if any folks need wallets to be made (compiled).  I would accept donations / bounties.
Also I have the ability to help or create a coin from a fork if needed, and set up a basic website/forums/faucets/explorrs/vps, and other stuff.

I'm unfamiliar with the story behind bytecoin and Monero.  BCN was created first, Monero being a fork.. So I always assumed that bytecoin would have more value.   Was Monero made by the same devs?  Otherwise the bytecoin devs, who would know more about their own code would be better able to maintain the tech behind it.  

No, more altcoins are being made and getting better.  If they start topping Bitcoin in value, I think Bitcoin will become more valuable to.  It's all based off of Bitcoin anyway which is more known as a name and already integrated in stuff.  I think it would take a very long time for Bitcoin to simply die or be replaced all together.  But by that time you'd know enough to own the alternate currencies replacing it.
