Is there an easy way to ban multiple connections from the same IP, without say, doing something drastic like blacklisting AWS IP addresses.
Not really. Ok, thanks. I think there might be a way to limit the number of incoming connections per IP using a reverse proxy such as HAProxy. It doesn't ban them but at least it limits the damage by blocking the extra connections. The problem for me is that HAProxy only runs on Linux and my nodes are currently Windows boxes. |

Every now and then these peers connect to my node with 3 connections each. They don't take up much bandwidth but they hold the connections open for a long time.  They claim to be SPV clients. Are they valid peers and why do they need 3 connections? Is there an easy way to ban multiple connections from the same IP, without say, doing something drastic like blacklisting AWS IP addresses. |

I am not sure how you could even scratch the first year without damaging the subsequent years as well? History builds upon itself, just like the blockchain builds upon the genesis block. Some coins generated in the first year could have been spent thousands of times over and some newbie may even be holding them today. To scratch these particular coins you have to rewrite not just the first year but everything till today.

So can it act as global currency or we need some modification.
What kind of modification? If you are thinking about increasing the 21M limit, then that would dilute the current holders' wealth and amount to theft which is not acceptable. |

When all the blocks are mined, how should a new one be found?
Miners can always mine blocks, even after the block reward becomes zero. The number of blocks that can be mined is not limited - what is limited is just the number of blocks with rewards. |

No winrar password could be easily decrypted by special software available online. any encrypted data is easily decryptable by third party software. only 1 way encryption or encryption with a heavy key is secure upto some extent like like bitcoin wallet usage private and public key.
"One way encryption" to secure a Bitcoin wallet? Then how are you supposed to use the wallet again? |

It really depends if the winning coin still serves my purpose or not. If it no longer does, then I will leave.

What I am wondiring is: is it possible that nobody hasn't yet noticed it???
People have already noticed it for years. There has been some arguments to replace proof-of-work mining with proof-of-stake mining, and power consumption has always been listed as one of the key advantages of PoS. These discussions come up periodically, but lately they always gets buried by shit topics such as "What would you do if I gave you 765.43 bitcoins?" |

what happen with bitcoin after not mineable?
miner will stop his mining activity ? then how to make bitcoin network strongest ?
and how about the price of bitcoin ?
Assuming you're referring to what happens once all the 21m Bitcoin are effectively mined, what'll happen is we're going to see fees potentially go up to replace the block rewards, and the price of Bitcoin will more than likely work its way up along with the decrease in the amount of mineable Bitcoin as time wears on. That's something like 100 years away though, if I remember the date correctly. the fee of bitcoin transaction is very small. im not sure it's profitable. if miner get profitable with "fee of bitcoin transaction" the seller and buyer will get loss in "higher fee" in bitcoin transaction  The number of miners will drop to the point that the fees can be divided profitably amongst the remaining miners. This could potentially make the network insecure. However if that were to happen then I'd expect large stakeholders of BTC would start mining for a small loss in order to help protect the integrity of the network. |

If you can find his wallet.dat file you could try brute forcing the password that protects the private key(s). There is a possibility that he used a weak password. Certainly a lot better chance of success that trying to get the private key from the address.

Yes, I would still use it but I will only use computers located outside of my country to store and transact the bitcoins. I would avoid transactions with people from my own country. At some point I will give up my citizenship and move to a free country where bitcoins are not illegal.

The biggest (non-mining related) things that I have bought directly with bitcoins were a large TV and a high-end watch from overstock.com. I've also bought some laptops from the same site.

What would you do?
Move onto another coin?
Cry all day long?
Throw your computer in the pool?
Eat 100 bananas?
I would revive dogecoin and start mining that. Then I'd log on to the forum and start making "What if bitcoin were still alive?" threads. |

I can still run a node on Azure for under $150 / month. The most expensive variable cost is not the disk but the network bandwidth.

No, the outgoing mail server from the pool is Amazon AWS and has been for 6 months.
My last email from kano.is was from May, but I did notice there was no SPF validation. You could at least put that in your DNS (if you haven't already done so) if your outbound SMTP server never changes. Spam filters tend to treat SPF-validated emails less harshly. More importantly we have more confidence that it is not spoofed. |

If every single node running Bitcoin would crash at the same time and they all lost their copy of the Blockchain, would all Bitcons be lost forever?
This is more a nonsensical question than a hypothetical one. Can you posit the mechanism by which this would occur? It is hypothetical. Just like - "If all Bitcoin users suddenly died would Bitcoin have any value after that?" |

We know that bitcoin is strong and all the wallets have milletry grade security but one of my stupid friend today said that maybe someone can hack it with just a calculater because with math and correct formulas we can even predict gambling bets if that is possible then maybe there is any chance of this
"With a calculator? " Lol! You can't even enter a Bitcoin address into a typical desktop calculator without getting a numeric overflow. |

@gt_addict That's an idea, just noticed the 860 has only 6 ports, the R4 requires 7 and the 1200 has 8... :/ maybe adventure on a splitter for the controller...  Or a molex -> PCIe for the controller if you don't trust PCIe splitters. |

I don't believe in charity organization. World is in the mess, and this charity organization are used for money laundering. When I see them in fancy suits, and expensive cars I think they spent more money on party then to help to people.
This is sad story, but fact is that all charity organizations failed in their task. They didn't understand problem good, and they didn't contribut nothing good in this world, instead of solving the real problems they concentrated on wrong things.
+1 CEO of red cross $1mill salary per year. stealing 5million (20cents ration) meals every year just to have a nice suit and a nice house thats 4500 less people getting 3 meals a day while he drives a flashy car and flies around in a flashy jet take any "charity executive" salary, divide it by 220 and you roughly get the number of people that are not getting fed for a year Why so cynical? There are plenty of local charities that get by on a shoe string budget and the efforts of its volunteers. They may not have the staying power of a global charity and may disappear during hard times, but they are there. Even though small charities may waste money, e.g. a local soup kitchen in my area spent a lot of money paying for parking ticket fines for their delivery van, but you can't even compare that to the wastage of the Red Cross. |

If their domain gets seized, it's game over. What are they gonna do --
Register bitfinex.ru and start operating from there. All they'd need is a domain registrar that is not located in a Western friendly nation. |
