Price seems to be recovering after the recent altcoin flash crash. Also it looks like someone set up a 300 BTC buy wall on Poloniex at 3,540 satoshis:  |

or where are the onion websites?
Those can be found on the Hidden Wiki which is basically a directory of .onion sites. The address for it keeps changing though so I'd search Google to find the link to the latest one. |

and who is buying knowing that it has been sold and we do not meet anybody who has taken charge of the project?
Perhaps they are gambling on the possibility that the project was sold to jl777 and he is working on it behind the scenes?  On a more serious note, is the source code available? I have some experience in Java and Python so I might take over development of this coin if no-one else steps up. |

So this is like Just-Dice's nakowa incident right?
Some lucky whale comes in and puts the site profit into negative territory?

Not sure if this is legit or not, but according to that site: Top 1: 151,497 BTC ($93,074,379 USD) Top 10: 53,019 BTC ($32,572,739 USD) Top 100: 10,000 BTC ($6,143,629 USD) Link: http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.htmlTop 1,000: 1,251 BTC ($768,783 USD) Link: http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses-10.htmlTop 10,000: 106.80 BTC ($65,611 USD) Link: http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses-100.htmlUnfortunately, it seems to end at page 100. And the private keys to many of these addresses could be lost or owned by Satoshi. It might be possible to calculate the balance required to get into the top 100,000 by using the table at the top of the page but the maths to do so would be pretty complicated. EDIT: Forgot to mention that it is possible that a single person could own multiple addresses. And a single address can also house the funds of multiple people (e.g. an exchange's address). |

While Dogecoin users may be great at utilizing PR tactics, they’ve made it pretty clear that the plan is for Dogecoin to stick around for a long time. Posts constantly reach the front page of their subreddit reminding the userbase that while Dogecoin was born out of a joke, it is no laughing matter economically. The coin is currently second place in front of all of the altcoins, beating out Litecoin and Reddcoin. Not sure what this is about. It's bigger than Reddcoin of course, but Litecoin? |

It might be interesting to see the numbers for a coin using an algorithm where the mobile chip isn't at as much of an extreme disadvantage. A virus that returns anything is more attractive to the author than one that returns nothing, so despite the miniscule returns, I'd expect to see more of this.
This. I wonder how many phones would be needed to mine something like Primecoin or Bytecoin/Monero which unlike Bitcoin, can still be mined with CPUs and GPUs. These coins can then be traded for Bitcoin on an exchange. I would think that far, far less than 14 million phones would be required to earn a bitcoin that way. |

I just got the letter even though the last time I traded there was in 2012 and my cash and BTC balances were close to 0.
It's pretty annoying that my private information is being released to an ever widening circle of agencies even though I no longer have any interest in Mt. Gox.
If they were close to zero then you would still have an legal interest in the resolution of the bk case. If your balances were exactly zero then they would likely not be contacting you. I can confirm this is true. I had two accounts at Mt. Gox, one created in 2011 and another in 2014. Neither were verified nor did they have any funds. I haven't been contacted by Mt. Gox. |

For example, I've been buying $20 to $50 worth of BTC every couple of weeks since early this year, and I'm still at 0.3 BTC (or about 0.25 BTC excluding altcoins). I also got about 0.02 BTC from the PD faucet, and a tiny percentage from other faucets like Freebitco.in.
In 2009, it would have taken seconds to minutes to reach 1 BTC. In 2010, maybe a couple of hours. And in 2011, perhaps a day to a week depending on the month. Generally, how long do you think it would take for a person living today to reach 1 BTC? 10 BTC? 100 BTC? (heck, is that even possible now?)

It's a netbook so it's only 1024x600. They advertise it as 10:6 ratio but it's really more like 10.24:6. Wikipedia says it's between 15:9 and 16:9.

I'm on a netbook at the moment. eMachines EM350. Spec-wise, it's pretty average. But it's extremely thin and lightweight and only weighs 2.43 lbs (around 1.1 kg) so it's great for traveling with. Specs are: Intel Atom Processor N450 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB) Intel NM10 Express Chipset 1024MB DDR2 667MHz RAM Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 with 64MB of dedicated video memory 10.1-inch display with resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels 160GB 5400rpm SATA Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 Picture:  AMD A10-6800K APU 4.10GHz 8GB RAM 1TB HDD Windows 7 No CD/DVD drives. This was the first computer I built for myself, so I was trying to keep costs down as much as possible (which is why I went with the APU processor, which I think I got on sale as well). Not including the OS, the cost was around $350 for the whole setup ($450 adding in Windows 7). I got a spare Dell monitor from my dad and bought crap cheap speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc., so maybe around $500 after tax for everything? It's not a beast computer, but it runs fast for what I use it for and I put it together myself with no experience, so I'm happy  4.1GHz? Sounds pretty sweet. I didn't know they made ones that high. |

the three big anon coins (Darkcoin, Bytecoin, and Monero)
Actually there are four big anon coins. Darkcoin, Bytecoin, Monero, and XC. You forgot XC. |

Nobody has posted this link yet? Hi all,
I have an IBM x336 Type 8837 eServer 1RU(recently gifted). It's a Xeon 3.0Ghz with a 4Gb RAM.
I'm wondering if it is worthwhile trying/attempting to do any type of mining with either BitCoin or a different coin? i.e. Litecoin, PrimeCoin, DodgeCoin etc.
As you can probably guess, it doesn't have a video card, so I would be cpu mining.
Would it be worthwhile to even attempt to do some mining with this machine? It's sitting there doing nothing at the moment.
Also, was looking around and came across a suggestion to use middlecoin.com. Has anyone used this site before, and if it is worth mining with the above, would it then be worth using this site?
Cheers,
Skimmer.
Don't bother mining Bitcoin with your rig. CPU mining became worthless in the very early days of Bitcoin mining. GPU mining became worthless last year when ASICs hit the scene. The same has happened/is happening with Litecoin. It was once mined by CPUs, then by GPUs. It's still mined by GPUs today but ASICs are coming out that are far more efficient and powerful. Soon it will no longer be profitable to mine Litecoin with even the most high-powered GPUs. Your best bet would be to mine CPU coins. That is, coins which use an algorithm that can't yet be mined with GPUs because a GPU miner isn't available or coins where GPU mining provides little or no advantage. Check out the link that I posted above. The selection of coins that you can mine with your current setup is limited, but they do exist. For example, there is Bytecoin and Monero (both anonymous coins) and Riecoin (a coin very similar to Primecoin). Once you have mined these coins, you can either choose to keep them - or trade them for bitcoins on an exchange. |

Technically speaking, most faucets "work" but you will only end up getting a few cents for an hour's worth of work. Hence I wouldn't advise spending too much time on them. I used to be a big faucet fan but the rise in value of btc has really hurt them. After all, not a lot of money in giving away money. I've cut back to just using freebitco.in I like the random chance to hit it big and while I would not be surprised to learn that it is rigged so no one hits the top prize it pays in a way that you can put off payment until you have a decent amount of coins so you don't get stuck with hundreds of dust transactions.
Good Luck!
It's not exactly rigged, but your chances of winning the top prize (rolling a 10,000) are very small because the site generates a random floating point number (i.e. with a decimal) between 0 and 10,000 which is then rounded. So your chances of generating a 10,000 is actually 1/20,000, not 1/10,000. Someone ran some tests with the code a while back and managed to roll the top prize after 120,000 tries. |

well i dont understand the game we get free btc? and if i invest how much interest i get on back ? and for how much time .. please clear this..
You put your Bitcoin address in the address field and type in the captcha. The odds of winning are low (usually somewhere around 10 percent), but if you end up winning, you get about ~6,000 satoshis (I think the number varies as well) which would normally take about an hour to get with a faucet. After you play, you have to wait one day before you can try again. I've never used the invest option but the amount you earn and the time it takes is displayed in the table on the site (e.g. Investment: ฿0.03, Weekly earnings: 22%, Time period: 35 days, Total profit: ฿0.003). |

When processors stopped getting any faster (per their gigahertz rating), we were told that multi-core was the way of the future. We were told that we would be using 4, 8, 16, even 32 core CPUs. But we're still stuck with dual core for the most part and quad core for high performance applications.  And didn't AMD already have an octa core CPU out a couple of years ago? |

Does firstbits still work on Blockchain.info? I seem to recall they removed it but it still shows up in the search box as a valid query. But whenever I try it, I always get the "Unrecognized search pattern" error. |

Is it possible?
I'd like to try mining with a graphics card but I've only got a laptop, not a desktop. Is there a way to connect a desktop graphics card to a laptop and mine with it? For example, a PCI-e to USB or PCMCIA adapter?
Or alternatively, is it possible to buy an extension cable/riser cable for a laptop GPU? So that way I could keep the GPU cool since it would be mining away from the other components of my laptop.
