I'm renting my quantum miner. Please, deposit 10000 BTC to the adress below and we'll do the job.

Hello borther from the future, if you can go back in time why don't you just start mining with Nakamoto when he released the code, you'll probably be riched if you just want bitcoins

it is easy to assume that in the next few decades, we can easly achieve 10^30 / 10^40 (we've already gone past the point of cracking 2^128 or 128bits in a few seconds) and it will reach eventually 10^70+.

Are you sure?  don't we start to hit the limits of the speed of light and how many atoms thin we can go on a chip, etc...
we can't just keep adding zeros like that... we hit physical limitations

Actually we can thanks to technological breaktrought, In classical computing , moving from Silicon to Graphen will help to keep us in the moor law for the two decades at least, the problem when will reach the point where quantum mechanics effect will start to manifest in terms of die shrink and this is one of the reason we are moving to Quantum computing where todays issue is the opposite

That's not a proof in it self, I don't know how anyone with minimum inteligence could get to the assumption that he stole the coins even if that information is true, and in the assumption that that the information is accurate it shows that MTGox inflated the bitcoin market with imaginary BTCs more than the number they've shown officially (I guess the difference is Marks own coins?) which was the case anyway after they got their BTC Stolen some years ago, Anyone in his right mind woudn't steal the coins from his business and stay right there without fleeing

You (like most people) have difficulty grasping how large 2^256 is (or even 2^128 which is the effective security of 256 bit ECDSA keys).   The 128 bit or 256 bit seems deceptively small.
 

As a math literate person I do gasp how huge 2^256 is.

Nobody credible is saying classical computers could brute force keys in thousands of years..... it would be billions of years using all the energy of our sun.  That also assumes you have a perfect computer.

And I do agree with this as in TODAY, the math is simple, our most powerfull supercomputers calculates in 30sh PFlops that's about 30x10^15 Flops Time in year = 3600x(24x365+6) = 31557600s and 2^256 ~ 1.14x10^77 so it will take to crack it with the usumption that it will require 100Flops per combination = 1.14x10^79/(31557600x30x10^15) =~ 1.20x10^55 years !

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! My point is if you consider only classical computing in the last 30 years we've moved from KiloFlops to PentaFlops or 10^15Flops in terms of processing power, it is easy to assume that in the next few decades, we can easly achieve 10^30 / 10^40 (we've already gone past the point of cracking 2^128 or 128bits in a few seconds) and it will reach eventually 10^70+. In the 80/90s people (like you) were claiming 56 bit encryption was impossible to crack, and you know what, it takes like 3s and less to break with our current supercomputers!
And this doesn't take into consideration Alghorithm break trought as I mentioned, even the current classic computer with the proper alghorithms can simulate Quantum computers and have similar results in some areas for example......... Now if you add in the mix Quantum computing which will bring computing to a whole other level as the potentiel from a dozen of Qubit and the impact they have is already being proven.

None of those (except QC) would do anything more than switching from a teaspoon to a bucket when trying to empty an ocean.  
Wrong as proven above.

Quote
a) The private key isn't random enough (insufficient entropy due to flaw in PRNG)
b) ECDSA is cryptographically weakened/broken.
c) It becomes possible to build a QC with the tens of thousands of qubits necessary to implement Shor's algorithm against a 256 bit ECDSA public key (and public key is known).

It's not limited to this as proven above but :
a = Possible as proven with AES thanks to NSA Middeling
b = Possible
c = it will happen in the next decade or the one folowing, considering we've moved from 4 Qubits to 128 in a very short laps of time heck Dwave just released a 512 Qbits Processor and they claim to have a 1000 Qubits in their lab ready to roll
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/01/10/this-company-sold-google-a-quantum-computer-heres-how-it-works/

Also the Shor Alghorithm is not the most efficient Alghrorithm beyond 600 Qubits in comparaison to Fourier Transform
On one hand factoring and calculation logs and the other the usual linear transform that can be decomposed to I or Unitary Matrix, which Qubits likes.

Why should I get that BTC? Well because I'm awsome!,But no seriously, That BTC while it is a small amount could represent an opportunity for me to have some BTC to test out some btc systems and give feedback, (mixing bitcoin services or exchanges ....ect) and give feedback to the community.

Thank you in advance

I don't understand how people claims that it will take thousands of year to crack the private key of a wallet. While yes with today computers or even clusters, it will take a thousands of years, I'm pretty sure that in a 20 years from now it will be a matter of days if not hours.

If we look at our computing power in the 60 and compare to the 80s, the whole computing power in a Saturn V rocket and the lunar module could fit in less than an Apple computer of the time, and if we compare the computing power of the 80s (Cray for example) with late 90s and easly 2000s, the power of supercomputer of the time could be assimilated to the power of a single chip, and between late 90s and nowadays is even more.... well lets put it this way, the faster supercomputer of 2000 in terms FLOPS was IBM ASCI White with it stagering 7.226 TFLOPS !! Well that's less than last year 7990 a Dual slot graphic card that you can set on your personnal desktop.

This without taking into consideration, alghorithms breakthrough or technological ones such as Quantum computing, hybrid system or even on the basic level, moving from Silicon to graphen would have a huge impact!

The best way to win against your enemy is to learn about it. Banks will study bitcoin and weakness and strenghts and will see if they can make profit from it protocol and if not they'll try to kill it.

1697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Second and Third Bitcoin gun stores coming soon world wide on: March 10, 2014, 12:19:05 PM
From the video it's about Texas where firearms are allowed with a legislation, the title is misleading.

But worldwide it is illegal!

And my personnal stance on this is : NO! I disagree with firearms being sold to people, this open access to firearms to responsable and at the same time to irresponsable people, it makes the danger of crime and retaliation on a whole other level. I prefer to live in a community where no one has fire arms than a community where criminals have firearms and I'm allowed to buy one to defend myself, it's still to risky! not to mention the accidents possibility

Just put a sign in front of your house saying no guns allowed. That will keep the criminals out.

I don't need to do so since I live in a country where firearms are not allowed and I feel safer that way.

I'm going to state the obvious, since you don't seem to see it:

1. Criminals don't need to get their guns legally, ergo the gun law only affects non-criminals
2. Criminals can build their own guns, whether or not that's illegal as well
3. Criminals exist within government, who will still have guns legally

I agree that you should have the opportunity to live in a community that is free of guns, but when you believe you can force (at gunpoint) everyone else to live in this community, it's difficult to take your sentiment seriously, due to your blatant hypocrisy and lack of empathy.

You've totally missed my point, and obviously you are the one that does not see it:

1-I didn't say that criminals would get their guns legally in fact it's quite the opposite, they'll get their weapons illegally, but since you are allowing guns to circulate in a huge volume trough the legal route, you are indirectly increasing the ammount of weapons in the illegal circuit, since those arms can be stolen for example and that one example of many.

2- Criminals can indeed built their own guns, but there is a difference between the small thief, who want a gun to steal something, and doesn't have access to an industrial grade 3D printer, or machinning . the easiest way is to buy a gun from someone who stoll it.

3- Indeed, and that's another way to get firearms, aside from other crimes they might do, firearms traficking on a large scale is possible since there is a legal circuit ....

My point stand strong, especially if you consider that in western world, the country with highest crime rate, and people shot death, is the US of A where firearms are allowed. It's not hypocrisy if you consider, that the US is an exception to the rule and that rule as not panning out well.


The only way to truly enforce gun control is for the government to go door to door, murdering, with guns, innocent people. So if you don't support that, you're not really in favor of gun control.

Any "debate" less than that is equivocation that only enables criminals' safety at the absolute exclusion of innocent victims, the only people ever rendered legally disarmed and defenseless by "gun control".

So in countries where gun control is enforced, the goverment is murdering with guns innocent people, that's news to me .... Sad

That's smart, I agree with you. Thank god we have the good government prohibiting all criminals from buying guns and government uses their weapon to fight for us and our freedom.
We need more people like you in the world.
Instead of being sarcastic, why don't you learn a thing or two about the outside world, and about how in some countries where true democracy prevail and security, policemen don't even have firearms, and heck even in terms army those countries have almost nothing. lol why am I even answering a troll hmm got baited I guess, but will not happen again.

Im new to android. I just moved from iphone to nexus 5. And I'd like to ask you guys one thing: should I root my mbexus? And if you had rooted your phone, which rom did you use?

You have a nexus, you have pure android, you don't need to root really, take it easy and learn about the android ecosystem, you can already costumize and do everything you can do with a jailbroken iPhone without rooting,  and when you get really bored and only then, you can root, and install and try other OS (such as jailfish, or Ubuntu, or FirefoxOS, or Taizen...)  as for roms just meh really, just install a launcher and you'll have almost the same experience of said rom
