Talagang para sa pera lahat gagawin?
Hindi madaan sa rank?
Kaya sa social media na lang babawi?
Finish na talaga.

Some Bounty Managers are starting to use "Google Forms" as an alternative to get a participant's report. The only problem is that BMs can't verify if the participant is the actual owner of the BTCT account linked to the report. So they require a "Proof of Authentication / Participation" in the Bounty Thread as a proof of their ownership. Now, the thing is, other participants (maybe bots) still make a report post even the Report Forms are available on the OP resulting in a spam of reports instead of having only "Proof of Authentication / Participation". A solution I can see is having a "Signed Message" instead of PoA.

Q: Why a signed message?
A: Because this proves that we own the address' private wallet.

Q: What address should we use?
A: BTC of course!

Q: Why BTC?
A: Because it has a special place in our profile.

Now I had proved the ownership of my BTCT account and linked them to my social media profiles and Altcoin address without having to post a PoA. This is just an example, managers have their own requirements on what they need to see in the signed message. All I need to do now is to submit this into the bounty campaign thread's registration from. Now anyone can join a campaign even the thread is lock so no one can make a spam on it.

This will also make the participants to actually learn on how to use Bitcoin and its feature.

The problem i can see in short term is a locked thread will be easily buried down. Maybe a daily bump-and-lock-again for a while can work. In the long run, if all managers will do this, we will see a much cleaner bounties section. Where we can see new campaigns on the top, hot campaigns with a lot views and no spam at all. I don't know if this had been done before, but if not, this should be, as the community grows in numbers and knowledge.

Hi, I saw 6 accounts that used the same Twitter handle in their report posts.

• jademacoy in post
• jademaxsuy in post
• burakdat in post
• Buttermellow in post
• godlike123 in post
• manfredmann in post

They are all using: https://twitter.com/burakdatz

Also some of their Facebook profiles are same like with

• jademacoy and godlike123: https://www.facebook.com/george.alforque
• jademaxsuy and burakdat: https://www.facebook.com/eric.barangan.7
• Buttermellow and manfredmann: https://www.facebook.com/Jaiden.Labora012

What I know is having multiple accounts used in bounty campaigns are against the rules.

Hi, I saw someone made a thread last three days and as I read the topic, it seems so old because of having cloud mining as a source of profit where we can see cloudmining services are now exiting professionally. And when I did some searching I found an old blogspot containing exactly the same contents with his thread (even the images used). So here it is. I already hit the report to moderator button and I want others to see this copycat.

the copied blogspot: Ano ba ang Bitcoin

Magandang araw mga kabayan!

Karamihan sa ating lahat ay malamang ang kauna-unahang BTC address ay binubuo ng random alphanumeric characters.

eg. 35EJHWnWgLs8AHAtk9UVZZdiWTxprM4MaW

Maaring gumawa ng mga BTC address na may nakasamang letra o numero na iyong gusto.
Sa tulong ng Vanitygen na gawa ni samr7

Mga kailangan: (Windows)

• I-download ang Vanitygen
• Bitcoin wallet na pwedeng mag-import ng private key tulad ng Electrum

I-extract ang zip-file

Extract All...

Extract


Ngayong na-extract mo na, i-highlight ang folder at hold SHIFT + right click sa folder
at select "Open in powersell / command prompt"


At eto na ang dapat na makikita mo


Gamitin ang command:

para sa 32-bit
 ./vanitygen<space>1(nais mong letra / numero)

para sa 64-bit
 ./vanitygen64<space>1(nais mong letra / numero)

Code:

./vanitygen 1BTCT
or
./vanitygen64 1BTCT

Hit ENTER



At kapag ito ay nakahanap na ng tugma



Ngayon meron ka nang bitcoin address na may "BTCT"

kopyahin ang private key at i-import sa iyong bitcoin wallet



lagyan ng pangalan ng wallet, Next



Piliin ang "Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private Keys", Next



At i-paste ang "private key" na iyong nakuha mula sa Vanitygen, Next



Lagyan ng password, Siguruhing di mo malilimutan ito. Next



At eto na. Pwede mo na i-share sa iba ang address mo.




MGA PAALALA:

Maaring gamitin ang Vanitygen para makahanap ng mga existing wallet.
Ngunit ito ay halos imposible.

Tulad ng Address na nakuha ko. 1BTCTZc3fucRKtsPFjQbQnV47jhg8bBEp3

ang "1BTCT" ay may 58²⁹ = 1.37851600677743110483676343403e+51 matches
katumbas iyan ng 1 na may 51 na zero (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
Kaya ang chance na may makahanap ng iyong address ay napakaliit.

Ang Vanitygen ay gumagamit ng 100% ng CPU mo, yan ang default
Pwede mo i-set kung ilang cores gamit ang -t <# of threads>

Kung mapapansin nyo 277.92 Kkey/s na lang ang speed mula sa 554.02 Kkey/s dun sa naunang pic.



Ang gamit kong procie ay

Intel® Pentium® Processor G3250 (dual core)
3M Cache, 3.20 GHz

Kaya naging kalahati na lang nung ginamit ang "-t 1"

May 4 sa mga alpha numeric characters ang hindi pwedeng gamitin
Eto yung mga character na pwedeng pagkamalang iba

• capital o "O"
• number zero "0"
• capital i "I"
• small L "l"

-i command
Para makahanap kahit hindi tugma sa laki ng letra.

-k command
Para magpatuloy lang ito sa paghahanap ng mga tugma

-o <.txt> command
Para i-save ang resulta sa text document

-f <.txt> command
Maaring gumawa ng mahigit sa isang pattern at i-save ito as .txt file sa loob ng vanitygen folder.

String pattern
[-vqrikNT] [-t <threads>] [-f <filename>|-] [<pattern>...]

Difficulty
Madaling tumaas ang difficulty sa bawat character na ilalagay mo na hahanapin ng Vanitygen.
Kung lalagpas sa 6 na characters ang gagamitin maaari itong matagalan sa paghahanap
Pwede naman gumamit ng GPU gamit ang "oclvanitygen" kung talagang gusto mo ng mahabang characters.

Parang ganito, 7 characters, aabutin ka ng 2 years para lang maka 50% progress
Depende na lang kung swertihin ka makahanap agad ng match


Kung GPU ang gagamitin maaring umikli ng mga 10x o ihigit pa ang paghahanap.
Wala na kasi akong GPU kaya hindi ko maipakita, pasensya na ha.

USE CASES:

Para saan ba ang paggawa ng Vanity Bitcoin Address?
Maganda itong gamitin pang hikayat ng mga customer na gumamit ng Bitcoin bilang pambayad.
Maaring gumawa ng address na hango sa pangalan mo o sa negosyo mo

Halimbawa:

Eto ang nagawa kong Vanity Address na hango sa palayaw ko.
Eto ang ginagamit ko na personal wallet na pwedeng gamitin sa araw-araw.

1BitoyExzSfjgccUFMLzNSHkJBVV1tLdju

Pwede rin gamitin ng mga Fast Food Chains.

So good

Sa school pambayad tuition

1PUPcw4KuCWdZwNmoE1XanQF7vfLnK5LMD
1USTvunVDmGMt9V3dJXDwkpWzQKEuJhnm

Sa Governmen Agencies

1PSA2etraUPFU5WXe15JoBguJxDGEDJ9r5
1LToQkrkBwB6nt7ZPvm2a1XzMChrG82p36

At marami pang iba.

Tingin ko kahit sa address lang, may impact ito para makumbinsi ang kapwa naten pinoy na gumamit ng bitcoin.

Maraming salamat, magandang araw muli.

There are newbies who are trying their best to earn merit. But when they see a shitpost that got merit, how do they feel? What you think? Of course they'll feel unhappy. That's why some newbies think that merit system is very unfair. For this system to be a success, it is not only the poster's responsibility to make a quality post, it is also the one who'll give a merit has to be responsible too. Give it to the ones who deserves it so the newbies will be pumped up and be encouraged.

Bigla na lang ako ginising ng misis ko. May news about sa bitcoin ipapalabas sa 24 oras ngayon. Abangan naten. Maganda to dahil karamihan ng pinoy ganitong oras nanonood ng balita. Magandang exposure para sa bitcoin. Abangan.

UPDATE: Tapos na yung segment. Small time lang yung nainterview nila. Kala ko kanya yung 120BTC kaso screenshot lang pala. Sana magka documentary naman para talagang maelaborate ng maige ang bitcoin.

I read an excel sheet regarding the estimated time of activity count updates and it should have updated yesterday Dec 5 around 18:00 UTC but it did not happen to me. Had you noticed?

As we all know few countries are banning cryptocurrencies. But are the people aware of cryptocurrencies' existence before it gets banned / legalized in their country?

Makakapangdaya pa ba ang mga pulitiko?

Saan kaya hihinto sa pagbaba ang bitcoin bago ulit umangat? Pwede na siguro yung 20% ng all-time high. Tingin nyo mga lodi?
