A handful of bad apples ruining it for everyone else. This seems to happen everywhere. If people are spamming and on a sig campaign they should be banned not signatures. Is the issue signature campaigns, or is the issue the people that make 100 posts per week spamming? I'm on a sig campaign because it brings in some extra coins each week, but I only post when I have something to say and I usually only make around 20 posts per week.

Honestly I think this train will keep a running. If there's another real FOMO moment like there was in 2013, things could get really crazy. We have so much more infrastructure now with the ETN in Sweden, an ETF in Germany, and GBTC. Also the media has lightened up a bit; bitcoin is not just for druggies or pedophiles. It could really gain traction towards mainstream if there's a strong enough push. |

I'm glad the Greeks voted OXI. What will come next, I don't know but I hope whatever the central banks are the ones that feel the pain. They are a fraud and a scam that has plagued the modern world for way too long with their fractional reserves. Thomas Jefferson knew the powers these banks had and tried to write in laws to prevent them from seizing the US influence over law makers. Citizens in a democracy think they have a say, and they decide who is in office; what a joke. The only people making any decisions are the banks and the richest 1%. Bankers don't go to jail when they get caught stealing, laundering or rate fixing because they run the whole show. The whole thing makes me sick when I really think about it.

Thanks OP for keeping this thread going. I know it's got to be a lot of work, especially for this long. If you are a regular poster sig campaigns are great for earning small amounts of BTC passively. You can earn more with sig campaigns than a miner can with 1 TH/s.

Chances are it will stay in 300 for a while and then dump back to previous levels, like happened at least a couple of times before
Chances are nobody knows what the honey badger is going to do. Looking at the 1D chart is this a triple top at $300 ready to go back down? Or did we form a hard floor at 215-220 and now we're headed back up? Is this the start to another bubble? Nobody knows so just sit back, bitcoin is driving. |

Economy / Speculation / Re: 2 years ago Cyprus, now Greece? new bubble on the way?

It's too soon to predict the outcome. Cyprus or even Greece issue may not be the main driver. After the third bailout momentarily everybody will just forget that things ever happened. I think people should start to take things seriously and look for alternatives to secure their money. If they can't trust banks why not consider bitcoin.
That brings up an important observation. Just 10 years ago calling banks "evil" or not trusting them was only for radicals or conspiracy theorists. Today it is very common for people even the media to bash on the banks. I think the tide is slowly churning and in a while anyone who supports the banks will be viewed as the outsider. Bitcoin could be a very important puzzle piece to this transition. |

Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to develop a bitcoin price chart?
|
on: July 11, 2015, 12:07:36 AM

Are you just looking for a simple line chart? Personally, I would create PHP file that pulled the current price and then log the time and price to a database . I'd set a cron job so that it runs once every minute. So you'd have a sql table that looked something like this: -------------------------
price | time
====================
285.24 | 8:57
285.88 | 8:56
283.65 | 8:55
284.01 | 8:54
From there just query your database and do a loop for each price instance that is in your database. Output your loops into the Labels and Data variables in the JS. <script>
var sqlPrices=[<?php
while($info=mysqli_fetch_array($data))
echo $info['price'].',';
?>];
<?php
$data=mysqli_query($mysqli,"SELECT * FROM priceTable");
?>
var sqlLabels=[<?php
while($info=mysqli_fetch_array($data))
echo '"'.$info['time'].'",';
?>];
</script>
var data = {
labels: [sqlLabels],
datasets: [
{
label: "My First dataset",
fillColor: "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)",
strokeColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
pointStrokeColor: "#fff",
pointHighlightFill: "#fff",
pointHighlightStroke: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
data: [sqlPrices]
}
]
};

Yea I remember that stunt that kid pulled, what was it, almost 10 years ago?
Anyways I never understood why anyone would pay per pixel on his page, nobody is going to go that the webpage because it's nothing but ads.
Why not make million dollar store, where you offer and sell nothing except ads? No one would go in your store.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Chances of a collision
|
on: July 10, 2015, 12:51:22 PM

What about this guys: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2711202/It-cooks-inside-like-microwave-Man-61-survives-struck-lightning-10-TIMES.htmlSo we know that being hit by lightning 10 times is possible , thus: A 0.000000000000000000000000000152% chance has already happened, and probably even more times around the world, so i`d say Anything between 1e-28 and 1e-40 chance is probable to happen in our lifetime. Now you guys say that (on another thread i saw this): Given your example of 1 billion users at 10 addresses each:
There are 2^160 or about 1,460,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible addresses
In your scenario, 1,000,000,000 people are using 10 addresses each for a total of 10,000,000,000 possible addresses
10,000,000,000 / 2^160 should yield the probability of a collision occurring
10,000,000,000 / 2^160 = 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000684
So the chances of a collision occurring in your scenario are approximately 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000684%
See why we don't consider collisions an issue?
Thus that is a 1.5e-28 probability that if 1 billion people create addresses, then 1 address can easily be REVEALED! So consider this, a person can easily create more then 1 addresses, i think the average per person is around 5-6. (Excluding the fact that there can be malicious guys that create billions of addresses /day, searching for filled balances) But even if we go with 5-6/life, and looking for 1 billion people (conservative future users of bitcoin). That is 5,500,000,000 /2^160 = 3.7632527118098114697658753457492e-39
So that is 3.76e-39, and we know around 1e-40 is probable, thus at least 1 unlucky fellow from that 1 billion users will get its account hacked.
And this is only conservatively speaking in a passive situation, involuntary collision (if hackers start to actively search for bitcoin addresses with the purpose of finding them, then we are even more in trouble)I think the probability should be at most 1e-100, but preferably even lower a 1e-200 to be safe, we need new format of the private key, 2^160 is too little, not to mention, the guy above me said that its only 2^80 which is very unsafe  You have to "cook the books" for something like that to happen. The person described above had to put himself in positions where conditions where lightning would strike. I'm not saying he did it on purpose, but maybe next time he sees a storm cloud over head and begins to smell ozone he should head inside. You could do the same with bitcoin and use poor RNG to generate addresses and you then put yourself in a position where a collision is more likely. For instance using the brainwallet "cat" or "satoshi nakamoto" those are technically collisions but they are due to poor RNG not a fault in the bitcoin protocol. |

Hmmm bitdefender blocked my browser from loading this website... Looks like that page either currently has, previously had or was flagged as containing malware :/
Not sure why that happened for you. That heroku app was created less than 12 hours ago. I've changed the url to `https`. Please try now. There you go! That must have been it. It is no longer blocked when I try to access the site. Looks good, keep it going! |
