Otherwise Bitcoin will fail simply because none in a mainstream society wants to deal with a currency based on decimals.
So what do you do in the store when something isn't exactly a dollar or two dollars? Give up and say it's too hard/complicated? |

Here comes Wall Street. Get on the train or get out of the way. |

I approve.
Why would you need a NSFW tag for a girl in a bikini? Shouldn't be on the internet at al in that case, I've seen ads that show more than that.
I was just saying, this is a forum for bitcoin related talk, not a fashion show of scantily clad women. Welcome to the internet. |

Only admins can change your user name. Donators and staff can change their own name. So pm theymos. Or john, though he's not around often.

Because someone was also running a DDoS attack as well. Not sure why, as all they did was hinder their own attempts to gather login info, if it was the same folks. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Waiting for the board to turn bearish again  . And of course for bitcoin price to go up in the meantime. I think the sentiment is pretty bearish right now, lots of people saying "we're going to go down more" "this is just a bulltrap" etc You shouldn't be basing your trades on anything anyone says on this board. Unless it's to do the opposite  . |

Here's some good reading about address collisions/exhaustion. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3462.0;allhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27277.0;allhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=26278.0;allIf every person on Earth makes ten addresses per second for 20 years (2x1018 total addresses), then the probability that two of these addresses collide is about 1.57x10-12.
A committed individual or organization could easily aquire network storage in the Petabytes. I think that would be more than enough to get a sizable operation started.
1 petabyte is 10 15 bytes. There are 2 160 possible BTC addresses, each of which is 160 bits == 20 bytes long. So to store all of them you need 2 160x20 bytes, which is 29,230,032,746,618,058,364,073,696,654,325,660 petabytes. Bear in mind, we are not looking for a single address among the clouds here. We are looking for -any- address containing BTC.
Suppose each of the 7 billion people in the world has 1000 unspent addresses. On average you would need to try more than 10 35 addresses to find each spendable one. Suppose you can check a million addresses per second, this is going to take you more than 10 21 years. If everyone in the world is trying to crack this at the same time, it will still take around 10 12 years. And when someone finally cracks it, after paying the electricity bill for 10 12 years, they might be disappointed to find that the key unlocks just 0.05 BTC from the Bitcoin Faucet. Even if it's ten million bitcoins, it's not going to pay the electricity bill for 7 billion computers running for a trillion years. In short, don't worry about it. |

Personally I'd like to thank Stunna for not paying these spammers.

I remember time before last this happened, the rate actually went up. I don't know about last time, I was out of town.

Just add it to your hosts file, don't worry about possibly forgetting and hitting your bookmark button by accident.

what the hell is this site, and how does it relate to the security of my bitcoins?
I'm not sure what the purpose of that site is, unless it's a joke. It isn't a database (that would be impossible), it's generating the pages in response to queries. So possibly an attempt at a scam, as in you look for your private key, and the holder of the list uses the generated pages to narrow down the possible addresses that have actually been used (there are 2^160 possible addresses, or 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976). Since people have trouble putting that in perspective, there are only 2^63 grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth. The total number of bitcoin addresses in use is so much smaller than the amount of possible addresses, that something like this is completely and utterly useless, and it would also be trivial to expand the number of possible addresses in the future. I laughed when I saw that website, cause I just know people who don't know the math are furiously putting page numbers hoping to find one . You'll likely witness the heat death of the universe before that happens. |

Make an offer. If I sell it, I will edit this thread to reflect this (and lock it, so that the buyer can't edit it). The buyer could unlock then edit it Can you unlock threads? I didn't think you could. You can unlock your own thread, I don't think you can unlock it if a mod locks it, I had a user pm me with that issue. |
