This is a nice thread, will be helping others when I have the time. Winning one of those cool things would be even better than buying one.
Thanks! Good luck  |

Difficult one..
What is a woodwallet?
A very cool wallet  Check out the official thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638832.0. I already have one myself, and it makes a great gift. DevTheDev is being very generous giving these away, they start at $19 USD plus shipping. Great thread, man! Thanks monbux! There's nothing better than answering questions about Crypto and teaching people safe storage techniques with these WoodWallet giveaways (: Are you new to the Bitcoin community? Let us know what kind of questions you have and we'll do our best to answer each and every one of them! |

It takes forever to get the activity up! Geez!
Well at least you just got your post count up... useless posts  ONTOPIC, I know there has been discussion about Stunna changing the signature campaign to weekly and raising the prices, but has it been confirmed? I didn't see Stunna actually post that, could someone direct me to it? Here ya go, Next term we will be offering the highest rates once again by a long shot (Not just over cutting a bit). We will also be considering doing weekly payouts  . Thanks for your continued support guys. |

What is a woodwallet?
It's like a paper wallet, just engraved in wood. |

For every 50 questions asked I'll be giving away a free Woodwallet to a random user who's asked a question or helped others in the thread!  |

je les envoyer a la bonne adresse mais puisque j'ai ''refresh'' je ne les plus et j'ai dekja contacter virwox et il m'ont dit que de leur coté ils ne peuvent rien faire
Vous devez les avoir envoyés à la mauvaise adresse alors :/ Vous ne serez pas en mesure de récupérer le Bitcoin malheureusement. |

Malheureusement, vous ne pouvez pas récupérer Bitcoin si vous l'envoyez à une adresse en la possession de personne. Toutefois, si vous pensez que vous avez envoyé à l'adresse correcte de dépôt VirWoX, avec leur équipe de soutien. https://www.virwox.com/contact.php |

Oh ok, then I probably am doing it wrong. Thanks for the info, I didn't know if I was or not and I manually was putting in all of the posts I'd made in a single day. I had to recount everything a number of times just to see if I was doing it right. Thanks for the info though, I guess I should brush up on my excel. How did you get the graphs to work? That's probably my favorite part, and I was gonna do something similar for another project involving words and twitter, how did you get that equation or macro to work?
Oh crap, I was doing the same thing... |

What is the difference between nodes and miners?
Well to start off, a node refers to a "full" client. A "full" client is a client that shares transactions and blocks across the network. Each node has a complete copy of the ledger, which is a record of every Bitcoin transaction that ever took place. Such as Bitcoin-qt or bitcoind (headless). When you're talking about miners I'm assuming you're talking about mining software. If so, "miners" don't need the full blockchain to operate. When you're using mining software such as Cudaminer and cgminer you're getting work from a pool that's running a Bitcoin client. The pool is essentially sending you a partial header for a new block and the software tries a lot of random numbers (nonces) in order to find one that creates an extremely low block header hash with a lot of zeros. Summing that up, a "miner" is not a node at all, it's just software that's doing basic calculations for a pool. Let me know if that answers your question (: |

Blockchain.info is great for beginners as you dont have to download the entire blockchain which is annoying at first.
If I had to use a Web Wallet that's the one I'd use. However, if you're going to use it make sure you backup your private keys somewhere in case their site goes "poof". |

Well, actually, the private key on the paper is probably not encrypted whereas the private key on the very nice piece of wood is encrypted by design - you would never want to give the person carving the wood your private key, right? So, they only accept encrypted private keys.
The private keys on each paper wallet I create are encrypted (: I use this, https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org. It has the built in area where you can input a encryption passphrase. Which is also the same code I used to create my encrypted private keys for the wood wallet SO, u need to remember a password to decrypt the wooden wallet ...is not it ? Exactly, I consider it a 2FA of sorts. I have different decryption pass-phrases for each of my wallets. (Especially wallets for my escrow service) |

Those look pretty darn nice. Thanks! I had not seen those yet. It is so hard to keep up with all things Bitcoin... Definitely, I just ordered one myself. I should be receiving it any day now. This is purely fancy in my opinion. Bitcoin addresses generated through blockchain.info and saved as paper wallet provide enough security. I rather have a nice piece of wood than a piece of paper on my desk. Why would u have a piece of wood on your desk ? That is insecured to protect your private key. Someone may get a glimpse of it through webcam, someone may just take it away. Have it on a paper and keep it in your wallet/shelf. At least it is hidden unlike being open on the desk. #1 it's BIP38 Encrypted #2 there's no difference between what's on my paper wallet and what's going to be on the wood. |

I am CEO and founder of https://apicoin.io, the first bitcoin PaaS and we currently have the market share. We currently have a couple huge (Making more than 250,000 api calls daily between just those companies) bitcoin businesses using us in production. I would be glad to work with anyone on this forum to make their experience with my company, the best they ever have using an api. This means if you need a custom plan, api call, or anything else to connect to our site, just email me and let me know. I will make it happen. I have been in your position, and I hate when an api fails on me or doesn't give me the data I need, trust me that will not happen on my platform. Oh hi! Didn't know you had your site. It looks great! I'll look into it. Thank you, for sure check it out, if you sign up and purchase the free plan I will double your free api calls, PM me your username on the site. What are the charges of your API ? I could not find any pricing on your site. Do u offer blockchain.info & biteasy.com provided features for free ? There's the free plan that's limited to 200 Api Calls/day then there's also the individual plan that allows 5000/day for .06 BTC/month. And finally, the Business plan, which includes 10000 Api Calls/day and costs .11 BTC/Month. The Individual Plan is best for most users. Example uses for this plan can include watching an address' balance, watching for new blocks, watching for new transactions, etc. |

Yep, this is a good explanation
It retargets every 2 weeks or so for bitcoin. Depending on the hashrate during the change, it will stick to it and after another 2 weeks change again depending on how many are mining then. :)
Sorry to hijack the thread, OP may give out a more detailed explanation if he wants to. :)
This is how the difficulty is calculated, The highest possible target (difficulty 1) is defined as 0x1d00ffff, which gives us a hex target of 0x00ffff * 2**(8*(0x1d - 3)) = 0x00000000FFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Pooled mining often uses non-truncated targets, which puts "pool difficulty 1" at 0x00000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF So the difficulty at 0x1b0404cb is therefore: 0x00000000FFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /
0x00000000000404CB000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
