how xpm coin go up on cryptsy, that is unusual

Solving primes baby
why is solving primes for a coin meaningful to price of the coin?

why is not solving primes more meaningful?

Primecoin broke several worldrecords if that's not meaningful to you then i'm sorry because you don't understand any of this.

Where did you learn your manners?

You didn't answer the question, but just blabber on about how you are 'sorry because your brain isn't understanding how to answer questions'

Why would someone be kind to a douce on the web?

Everything I read suggests I use a random word generator...

Why is randomly picking words from a dictionary un advised?

The point of a BRAIN wallet is that you could, under any circumstances recover the wallet as long as the passphrase to generate the seed is inside your brain. This means that, if your pass it too complex its useless because you will forget it, if its too predictable its useless because you will lose it against a brute force attack of some sort. Randomly generated words are a good intermediate.


Wouldn't adding ╚  and ╔ to the front and back insanely increase the brute force attack time frame?

1793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC confirmation times suitable for payments scenario? on: July 21, 2015, 01:16:01 PM
there are shops, bars and restaurants who accept your bitcoin payment without a single confirmation. but that's probably up to €50. not sure if they also accept it without confirmations above that amount.

This is exactly the situation I see as ripe for scammers.  3 people in different shops using the same bitcoin wallet.  they coordinate via whatsapp to make the payment at approximately the same time.  3 transactions appear on the network but 2 are rejected as a double-spend. That is 3 €50 dresses for just €50.

What is the solution?  Wait ~10 minutes for 1 confirmation?

I see a business model here for multisig wallet providers that focus on shopping hot wallets for smartphones.  With a trusted counter-party to guarantee no double-spend the merchant lets you walk out the door immediately.  Yes we don't like centralization and counter-parties, but this just a niche, you put spending btc into your shopping wallet for the convenience of instant payments.


This could be a great method to help the current transaction limit of 7tsp as well.  The company would just square up all they owed at the end of the day.

Why is randomly picking words from a dictionary un advised?

if you pick them truly random then it is good , the thing that is not advised is using a phrase , or sentence because it can be guessed.

for example if you choose a catch phrase from a movie or something like that it can be in a dictionary used by a simple code to brute force the password and hack the private key.

sweet!!  No complete random, just going to random pages, no phases, the dictionary I used has over 200k words... LMAO!

The first and the second sentence are more or less the same thing (assuming the process or generating and picking are both actually random and it's not too short, e.g. 10 words from a set of 5k words is going to be more than enough)), but I'm going to have to assume we both have a different definition of "randomly picking words" - your method not having much to do with randomness.

The answer to your question is very simple - it is unadvised because >99% of people are going to be picking words non-randomly, oblivious to their biases.

It was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Oxford_Dictionary , just flipped to random pages and chose from a location.

Well, that is what a random word generator does. Why do you think it is unadvised?

That's what I was thinking!! I chose a large one lol.
