261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Spending own generated unconfirmed change in the v.0.9.0 era on: May 07, 2014, 06:09:53 PM
Is it now safe to spend unconfirmed change generated by my own txs, after the 0.9.0 upgrades?
If not, what is considered to be a safe number of confirmations for this change before I can use it as an input for another tx?

It's not really a question of being safe or dangerous.  The worst that will happen is your transaction will never get confirmed.  I think the only dangerous aspect is accepting those transactions.

Yes, if they provide you with a unique address then they will know you sent the payment.  If not, you'll have to sign a message with your private key.  But if they're any good you'll get your own unique address to send to.

6.4 TH will give you between 25 - 37 BTC depending on difficulty.  (25 BTC for 20% jumps, 37 BTC for 12% jumps)

If the coin is on an exchange there needs to be a network of nodes that you can submit blocks to.  But it sounds to me that it's a coin you shouldn't bother with.

There's no way to legitimately turn 0.001 into 0.0015.  If there were everyone would do it.

267  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What if a block can NEVER be found? on: May 02, 2014, 04:22:27 AM
How does the transaction go back to the original sender if no miner picks it up and puts it in a block ?

If it's not included in a block it's technically never been sent.  But miners will refuse to allow those coins to attempt to be spent again because they're in the queue for block inclusion.  Your best hope is that eventually the miners will flush your failed transaction after a few days that it hasn't been included in a block.

This is a scam, they had the same thing going under another username but deleted it when it was exposed.
269  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: RNG vs PRNG for bip39 it's relation to Trezor on: May 01, 2014, 09:40:15 PM
Also, if I use a CSPRNG seeded with a performance counter, similar to bitcoind, how do you establish "trust" that the product is cryptographically sound?  For example, maybe the performance counter is always read at a certain predictable cadence.  Do folks in the community just review the code, and if no one complains it's good to go?

I wonder if there is some RNG verification software you can run.  But then how do you trust the verification software?  You might need to get a degree in cryptography to understand whether or not your data is sound.  Or you could just trust that there hasn't been a huge vulnerability for the last three years, that works out well Smiley

The same way you prove you dropped $1000 out of your pocket when you claim that as a loss on your taxes.
271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: infinite number of private keys / finite number of public keys on: April 30, 2014, 04:37:02 AM

So every adress contains 2^96 public keys and also 2^96 private keys?

Doesn't this reduce the difficulty to bruteforce an adress?

That's like saying if I tell you that a molecule of water is located in the pacific ocean, that reduces the difficulty of finding it.

I don't understand why anyone uses IE, especially for $5k worth of bitcoins.  You've got to spend some % of your bitcoin balance on security, at least spend $200 for a cold wallet laptop or something.
273  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there any BTC bank? on: April 29, 2014, 08:41:53 PM
I belive there will be lost of Bitcoin banks. It's the money of future.

I guess you meant there will lots of bitcoin banks. Smiley

Unlike fiat, we can manage our bitcoin and make international transfers ourselves easily.
So, there is no incentive to put bitcoin in such "banks".

When bitcoin banks are involved, lost is more correct.

It is going to go down, but then it'll go up.  Unfortunately it'll go down after that, but luckily it'll go up after.

Quickest way to lose it is to invest in a business.  Pay off your loans, put 80 % in a low fee stock index fund, 10% in bonds, 9% cash, 1% btc
277  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is it possible to hash a public key to get the private key? on: April 27, 2014, 11:39:54 PM
We're talking 2^160 possibilities.  So divide that by whatever hash rate you want and you'll see.

U should also use the same os and browser version
If that were the case, then a lot of people will be surprised one day when their wallets won't open.

There actually was a bug for a while where a version of Safari was giving different encryption than every other browser.

It looks like that address has more activity than a lost one would have.
