I hope you recover your coins.

On a side note, is there an estimate of how many coins have been "lost" by all users?  Over the years, there has to be a significant amount.  Just curious.

Impossible to estimate.  The only thing you can know is how long it has been since a coin has been used.  

there was a list somewhere on this forum... i remember it being around 20,000 btc of known lost coins but that was quite a few months ago.

Sad to see an innovative Bitcoin venture like this struggling.

step one, stop using that hard drive immediately.

step two, casascius had good luck recovering someone's wallet using a programmed called 'winhex' i believe, to search for private keys.

Please don't misquote me, especially when I prefer midget porn.

i think the US likely won't care at all where a site is hosted or the citizenship of it's owner. if they can take down a .com, they will.


Being awesome won't help your argument. I disagree entirely, but who knows. If the measure is passed, we will see who is correct. If not, I'll be glad to never resolve this dispute.

well, i highly doubt a domain owner's citizenship will have any impact whatsoever on the decision to seize an 'offending' domain.

it's already happened without SOPA.

oh look, fakerolex.com is selling fake rolex's... oh wait, the registered owner is australian... better not seize that domain in case we piss off Julia.
1825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Support bitcoin.org SOPA blackout on 18 Jan on: January 18, 2012, 04:08:34 AM
fixed... millions of people around the world use .coms.

Most of the results of SOPA/PIPA legislation being passed would likely affect US domain names only.

fixed... millions of people around the world use .coms.

Currently, even 2.5:1 for a huge account is a lot of leverage! $20,000 will get you $50,000 tradable balance.

a lot..

put $20,000 into real fx on oanda.com and you'll get a million-dollar tradeable balance.

i say increase leverage, or leave it alone.

edit: i see pirate likes the idea of 50:1 also Smiley
1829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Support bitcoin.org SOPA blackout on 18 Jan on: January 18, 2012, 03:08:27 AM
The act itself is only creating so much news buzz because of the country it is proposed in. Many countries already have this sort of legislation. Did we blackout for those? No. Just because (and I speak as an American) this bill has been proposed in the USA should not make it more important than the similar measures which have been proposed and in many cases enacted elsewhere.

that argument doesn't work, because America still has basic control of the domain name system, other countries do not.

theoretically if the US gov wanted to, it could take down fakerolex.com.ng permanently and globally, but i don't think the nigerian government could take down fakerolex.com globally.

6.4 please

4.6 please

(not done stocking up yet, haha)


Someone got left behind by the rally train!  We have to go back for them!

seriously. i'm actually proud of you to have changed your position from bearish to bullish so quickly.  thats the sign of a good trader.  so many others refused to do so and now look at them...

Permabears are in deep shit right now, that's for sure.  I know people who shorted at $2, and when it went up they didn't cut their losses... oops.

i've always been long-term bullish.

previously, i was bullish and got excited whenever the price went up.

currently, i'm bullish, but want the price to go down (and stay down for 3 to 6 months while i inject more fiat)


you won't get that chance i promise you.

heh, just had to come back and quote this... only 4c away from those $4.60 coins Cheesy

looking here he got bitcoind, namecoind, and devcoind.

It's installed on /var/www/files/daemons/

I tried

Code:
$difficulty = (float)shell_exec('/var/www/files/daemons/bitcoind getdifficulty');
echo "Difficulty is ", $difficulty, "\n";

and I got "Difficulty 0"


do you know if bitcoind was actually already up and running or did your command launch it?

> ps aux|grep bit
1832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [API] Difficulty needed. on: January 17, 2012, 04:31:23 AM
You can check by trying "bitcoind getdifficulty" at the command line and seeing if it works.  If it does, the PHP is simple:

Code:
<?php
$difficulty 
= (float)`bitcoind getdifficulty`;
echo 
"Difficulty is "$difficulty"\n";

The "`" symbols are the "backtick operator", but shell_exec() is equivalent.  Replacing bitcoind with namecoind, etc., would make it work for all chains, if all the servers are installed and running.

wouldn't that approach also require you to know the full path to bitcoind?

1834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Support bitcoin.org SOPA blackout on 18 Jan on: January 17, 2012, 01:29:10 AM
I say no.   I'm sure 99% of the people here already support the anti-SOPA movement and know what it is about.

It's the non-geek websites that need to go blackout.  Google, Facebook, and the like.  That will inform the uninformed.  Blacking out a page like bitcointalk does nothing, since we all already know about it.

did you mis-read the OP? bitcoin.org != bitcointalk

1835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [API] Difficulty needed. on: January 17, 2012, 01:16:55 AM
for nmc, you could try scraping this page:

http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php

Code:
<h2>Namecoin difficulty</h2>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="liste">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Block</th>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Difficulty</th>
<th>Ratio</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: left;"><abbr title="Last difficulty change">Last change</abbr></td>
<td>38304</td>
<td>16/01/2012 07:06</td>
<td><abbr title="3'523.80GH/s">516'181.44</abbr></td>
<td><abbr title="Based on elapsed blocks since last difficulty change">x1.04</abbr></td>
</tr>

I was gonna do that, but there has to be an easier method. I'll wait on the "bitcoind getdifficulty" thingy

here you go... a bullet-proof php attempt:

Code:
<?php
$moo 
file_get_contents('http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php');
$moo substr($moostrpos($moo'H/s') + 5);
$moo substr($moo0strpos($moo'<'));
$diff str_replace('\'','',$moo);
?>

not viable in the US? wasn't it a bit-pay clone? i thought they were doing okay.

Honestly, I don't think that there are many people buying things with bitcoins. These services charge a relatively small fee so they need more than just a handful of transactions per day to make it worth it.

well yeah, but what expenses would they have had? if it's a one-man programming show, all it takes is $0.?? in hosting fees and a supply of caffeine.

i hope someone at CBS releases the original full copy of that parody video, not just as filmed on a laptop screen... you can tell by the episode that not all of what was created was shown, like when the laptop screen is hidden from view but you can still hear the video playing.
1840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin at Starbucks (or anywhere) on: January 16, 2012, 11:41:13 PM
Someone tell me why there are About 1,450,000 results when you search Starbucks and Bitcoin (without quotes) on Google.

because google is broken nowadays.

it's called fuzzy logic, or as my dad would say "artificial stupidity".

give me the old google where search queries were interpreted literally.


I was trying to search for results that matched a set of technical terms for a project I was working on recently. It opened my eyes to the new fuzzy search stuff that is going on in google.

That, along with the removal of the + operator has caused me to jump ship. I now just use http://duckduckgo.com

me too now actually, thanks for mentioning it.

it takes a little while to get used to though, because after setting it as my default search engine in chrome, i still get a bit tripped up when i'm wanting to search google images or maps.

i.e. for maps, it used to be enough just to type a street address into the url bar, but now i gotta manually go to maps.google.com first.

in chrome when you right click there's a menu option that says "search duckduckgo for '*****'", it would be cool if i could get 2 additional menu options... search google maps for **** and search google images for ****

actually the ability to totally edit that list of menu items would be awesome.
