What do you need and what do you have? Do you have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard?

I could do it for free just for the fun of it. I would only need to know where you are located to choose a proper website and what you are planning to use the rig for. I wouldn't be able to do it today, though, but it's something that takes only a few minutes. Anybody here could do it.

Can you make bounties bigger? Because btc is dropping.

The sponsor has a btc site, profits he earns are in btc. He has to pay in btc. Makes sense right?

yeah, to be honest, in november the price shot from the 100's all the way up to 700ish, and he still honored the rate that he promised, so he's a standup guy i'd say.. he probably lost somewhere in the thousands for keeping his word.

There is a slight chance that it might go up because there is a competitor offering to pay more.

I think the emphasis should be on 'slight' here. Call me sceptical, but that competitor could not even afford a real domain name.

But as long as he pays what he owes, it should be fine.
IF he does.

I think that link skips a big conceptual step (at least for beginners), namely... the creation of the public key.

Starting from the private key, which is just a random 256 bit number, obtaining the public key requires performing a series of operations using elliptic curves (specifically, perform an "elliptic curve point multiplication" of the private key integer and a "generator" point on the specific curve that Bitcoin uses). THEN once you have the public key, you can follow the steps in that link.


Yeah, I noticed that. I just need to know the starting point from the 5XXX[...] private key. Unfortunately, the wiki doesn't mention that.

Is it a curtain?

YES
Thats it, congratulations! I will send you the private key via pm. You are also qualified for a new puzzle with a bigger pot. I will send you more details soon.

A lot of users didn't checked the previous questions and answer.

You said it wasn't wearable in the face.

Question: Is it wearable at all?
1347  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 0.025 BTC for a puzzle --> ROUND TWO! on: December 15, 2013, 08:24:33 PM
Is it (or can it be) made out of cloth?

YES Private Key: 5KVtRCT99v3wEjT5nv____________________

Is it ALWAYS made out of cloth?

So, I'm playing around with bitcoin in JavaScript but I haven't found anywhere online how to calculate the bitcoin address of a Base 58 private key (starting with a 5). Can anyone tell me how or provide me a link with documentation? I'm not asking for a script, just conceptually how to do it.

Is it smaller than the average person's head?
1351  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [HELP][STEAMBITS] Paid and nothing... on: December 15, 2013, 04:05:54 PM
This should probably be moved to service discussion. Anyway, good luck with getting your game!

Ummmm, a change in the start button if you get hacked? How can that make sense?
1353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy Google Apps with Bitcoin on: December 15, 2013, 05:02:59 AM
This is completely misleading. As the guy above said, it's not Google, it's some using Google App Engine.
1354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Transaction Verification Ever Slow to a Standstill? on: December 15, 2013, 05:01:45 AM
If you think of someone losing access to a wallet with 100 bitcoins in it, then there is subtle deflation from time to time already, as it would take half an hour to replace that loss but the loss happens instantly.

Wait a min! Replace that loss? Once the private key is lost, any "coins" (really, transactions in the blockchain) encrypted by that private key are "gone" (really, frozen from being spent) forever, there's no replacing them.
I think he means replace in the sense that that amount of BTC is mined in half an hour.

Also, someone above said that the target time between blocks is 8 minutes. I've heard about it being 10 minutes, any idea on what is the correct one?
1355  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitaddress.org "certificate is not trusted" on: December 15, 2013, 04:58:13 AM
It works perfectly for me. Make sure that you didn't remove any CAs or certificates from your installed ones in your OS.
1356  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: My Coinbase was just compromised on: December 15, 2013, 04:49:25 AM
Login to Coinbase, go to history and check if it says you actually bought coins with them. Something similar happened to me. In te transaction history it said I "sent" Coinbase BTC to exchange for USD, but it does not appear in history. I also have not received any money from Coinbase and never wanted to sell my BTC. Luckily for me, I only lost around $1.50 worth of BTC because I only use web wallets for convenience and I usually put all I have in my local wallet/cold storage.
I got this fixed, not their fault. Anyway, they're back on the green for me.
1357  Other / Meta / Re: Images now proxied on: December 15, 2013, 04:48:28 AM
Isn't it easier to just whitelist popularly known image hosting sites such as imgur?

That's probably not tinfoilhatty enough.

No cause everyone would be like theymos whitelist this and whitelist this, and that thread would be insanity long. Image proxy is the best option, keeps every happy.
If he manages to get it working.

You should make this a poll. It would let people who don't want to reply voice their opinion.

It surprises me how many people reach such high tiers. Heck, I am barely reaching the 50 post minimum.
