Looks like pretty much the entire mess of 84 transactions in your chain of unconfirmed transactions are now confirmed.

I sure hope you lived up to your word and send macbook-air the 1 BTC you promised.
Looks like OP has paid 1 BTC to macbook-air through 2 different Tx...

My resolution in 2016 isn't related with gambling too. And honestly, im gambling just for fun so i think no need to say "no" with gambling  Grin
In fact, gambling should only be for fun. I wonder, how come someone gets addicted to it!
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Evidence that Craig Wright might be Satoshi after all on: June 20, 2016, 11:49:34 PM
search "gavin matonis wright block 9" to see lots of people discussing how wright showed them a signature that is validated by the address held in block 9

No. How 'bout you post a link to either Andresen or Matonis state that the evidence they were presented with by Wright may have been the same as the spoof.

Unless you can, then I believe I am fully caught up with the situation.

Craig signed a message that I chose ("Gavin's favorite number is eleven. CSW" if I recall correctly) using the private key from block number 1.

That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum.

I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).

I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.
651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Blocksize Debate & Concerns on: June 20, 2016, 11:17:15 PM
1) The sacred Bitcoin Protocol: I think the current proposed HF from 1mb to 2mb wont make or break anything. But, it'll set a precedent that bitcoin protocol can be changed according to the demand of a cheering crowd. In future, there may be a cheering crowd to raise 21m supply cap. Question is what we do then?

2) Segwit: Malleability is already fixed. Segwit does not fix it further. Segwit is aimed to create space within 1mb block size and creating scopes from Sidechains & Lightning Network. But, Segwit is complicated. It might become a disaster like The DAO. Hence, as Segwit is soft fork, there should always be non-Segwit nodes and applications doing non-Segwit transaction, so that in case of a disaster, a part of the network survives and hence bitcoin.

3) Sidechains + Lightning Network: Secondary layer. No problem.

4) Urgent Hardfork: Very unlikely for robust network like bitcoin.

5) Quantum Computers: FIAT money sitting on banking network is on much more threat than Bitcoin network. We are ~10 billion USD, while they are in trillion. We might sit back and enjoy the show.

7) Corruptible devs: Devs can not enforce anything immediately as a change to the network. They can hold back the existing working system and resist a change. So, dev level corruption is no big threat.

6 & 8 ) Corruptible miners & Corruptible community: Corruption is a relative word. In a way, a part will always be corrupted. But, in reality, only those matter, who have deep skin in the system itself. In reality, community is miners and holders. If there are 1000 corrupted holder holding 0.01 BTC each, then they will have less effect on the network than 10 holders holding 10 BTC each. Because, if, at any point, holders need to decide the winning chain, the coin holding majority will decide which chain will survive by selling the other chain's coin. Individual majority of holders is not important. Now, to serve their own interest, the majority holders wont go against the best health of the bitcoin network, corrupted or not corrupted.

9) Hardfork not fair for long term savers: Already discussed in above points.
652  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will bitcoin reach 500 USD again ? on: June 20, 2016, 11:03:35 PM
This of course already happened and this is a very goof sign, its now raising to some nice and good prices.
Its just a matter of time before it even will hit and surpass the 1000 dollar.
It wont most likely be easy to surpass 1000 USD. There will be lots of dumping at around 990 USD as 1000 USD is a benchmark for many.
653  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Blocks? on: June 20, 2016, 10:40:45 PM
Is there a program that assists your device and program to create new blocks

Blocks are cryptographic hashes that satisfies certain criteria. Theoretically any computer should find such a block hash. In reality, there are specialized devices called ASIC to find a block hash. The program you are asking for is generally known as bitcoin mining software.

The truth is, part of living is also gambling. In real life itself, u have to make certain decisions, which are practically gambling. So, saying NO to gambling is saying NO to LIFE. Wink
655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DAO failure lessons on: June 20, 2016, 11:00:01 AM
To understand, why The DAO failure is NOT smart contract failure, one needs to understand a few points.

What happened with The DAO was just a piece of code which was not written as it was intended to work. The real problem right now is the interest of Ethereum Foundation to save The DAO and hence lobbying for a hard fork. The DAO was supposed to fund further development of Ethereum and hence the interest is. Ethereum Foundation did not speak about a hard fork when ShapeShift was hacked. This clearly shows their conflict of interest and if the hard fork is successful, it would prove the centralized point of failure of Ethereum Blockchain.

On the contrary, after the Mt. Gox debacle, there were many people crying on bitcointalk to hard fork the bitcoin blockchain to save their coins. But, no one could centrally influence the diverse bitcoin mining community. In reality, no hard fork ever took place in bitcoin blockchain to revert any theft, heist or whatever. This only proves that the bitcoin blockchain is immutable.

Now, a smart contract needs to be written on immutable blockchain. If any party has the authority to reverse a smart contract, it is not that smart anymore. Hence, I believe, irrespective of the future of Ethereum, smart contract do have a future on the immutable bitcoin blockchain through secondary layers like Rootstock or Counterparty.
656  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: what is a BTCC full node wallet? on: June 20, 2016, 10:37:26 AM
I am running a full node (Satoshi:0.12.1). Today I've noticed a new peer connection BTCC:.11.2 and BTCC:0.12.1. What are these nodes? Who are they? Chinese?
Here is a press release by BTCC regarding this - https://www.btcc.com/news/article/btcc-deploys-100-full-bitcoin-nodes-across-five-continents
657  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Turing completeness and state for smart contract on: June 20, 2016, 10:28:11 AM
so, in that sense, the error prone smart contracting programming model has done the world a service
Do u think, this statement is valid for those who are building smart contract on bitcoin blockchain, e.g. Rootstock or CounterParty?

660  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Will difficulty jump over 200 billion at block halving? on: June 16, 2016, 06:32:15 PM
I should also point out that before the last halving, the global hashrate went up for a while while people brought back online old inefficient hardware for the last few blocks on the chance they'd get one of the last 50BTC blocks before retiring that old hardware forever as a complete loss. I expect something similar will happen this time too.
In that case, difficulty might go above 200 billion and go down in next adjustment.
