People are actually sending bitcoin to that address now also which i think is basically burning them, they will never be used them coins.  i doubt if satoshi would still even have the private keys...... well its satoshi, so he probably does....

I have seen many a times that whenever i create a new thread it shows : Post read 2 times. How can this happen as its not possible for someone else to open this thread within a split-second. What's going on ?

the quote should say "Dave Bitcoin hacks people’s passwords with their permissionHELP.
he is not exactly hacking, you give him what you think your password is or what it includes then he uses all the variation of that initial password to find the right one.

At current difficulty?

Approximately 359880210000000 hash per second for the entire day.  That's 359.88 terahash per second for 86400 seconds.

That's a total of about 31093650000000000000 hashes (31.094 exahash) calculated per 1 BTC generated.

Take the number of hashes you are able to generate per second and divide 31093650000000000000 by that number of hashes.  The result is the approximate number of seconds it will take you to generate 1 BTC.

Take the number of seconds you want to spend generating 1 BTC and divide 31093650000000000000 by that number of seconds.  The result is the approximate hash rate (hashes per second) that you need to have if you want to generate bitcoins that fast.

I thought the wallets couldn't be hacked. He has a 30% success rate. That's pretty high.

They say green energy but really it is not. It is just a branding that does not have any backing to scientifically prove that it is. It is just a way for companies to get government funding for being green, that is all really.

As we know earning butcoin through mining is consuming extra electricity, but this is the era of technology, in future when technology is more advanced, the electricity consumption will become bigger and bigger, so its a good idea for government to start to think a way to increase the electrcity capacity

that's good to share this article,but it think its too late,so many already scammed by mining and other investemetn site,and i also one of so many victims. lets prevent bitcoin from scammer,and its will help us to grow bitcoin to better future.

There have been a lot of threads regarding this April fools joke by Theymos, no need to even do a search, just by looking at the unread posts list you will see a couple I'm sure.  It did confuse the hell out of me this morning and thought was another language at first 

The truth is, every ponzi/hyip programs work like that way. They initially pay to the investors, just to build reputation. but when the big investments start flowing in, they stopped paying. Ponzi is the worst form of gambling available in the market.

However, you should try p2p lending platform like btcjam. I am using this website to fund loan for others and getting a stable monthly returns. Here the risk of loosing money is very less. Every other programs I have tested turned out to be a scam.

If you want to avoid defacing the currency I suppose you could use a stickie note on it. For a more professional look, I'd just use Powerpoint or something to create a printed card with the free BTC. Leave it along with a regular tip at restaurants, or in other situations where you can be confident it won't be discarded without a look. (Many will be discarded anyway, so it's best to retain the ability to retrieve the funds from any such addresses after a suitable time period.)

In Europe, if I remember well, you can even pay with 9/10th of a buck. It can have holes, be in several parts, but as long as you can understand it and that there's a least 9/10th of it, that's fine I presume.

I was hanging out with some friends and one of them had a very strange idea: writing on 5€ banknotes the public and private keys of a bitcoin address with something like 0.0005 BTC on and the link to the official bitcoin website to make more people know about the Bitcoin.

In your opinion would it work?

Thankfully I have not yet fallen for any of these scams. Most of these can be avoided except for the exchange scams, you never know which might claim one day that they were hacked.

No one will be ready to give you free money. If you get attracted to some ponzi schemes then definitely you will end up in scammed all of your investments. It is completely our own responsibility to avoid this type of investments.

what is the 4chan effect.

Is there a topic or easy answer? not in the mood to turn into
inspector gadget tonight if anyone has a quick good link

If it sounds too good to be true, i.e. 3% interest per day, it is ALWAYS a scam.

Many investors would give their left nut to get a reliable 3% PER YEAR let alone 3% daily.
