21  Economy / Marketplace / Re: ["WAIT LIST"] BFL SC Pre-Order Information on: January 03, 2013, 12:27:36 PM
I noticed that someone mentioned that names are starting to show up in the list more than once, so I reorganized the list by names:

I'm putting a link because I wouldn't imagine anyone would want me to just paste that list here.

Your list appears to be missing names.

Here is the order list, names only, without duplicates:

There are 182 names.

I get the same output with

Code:
oclvanitygen.exe -d 0 -i 1Test

He's not the only one with the issue.

Here's my (working) command line on Windows:

oclvanitygen.exe -d0 "1abcd"

That is essentially the same command as runlinux posted Smiley

Anyway, lots of people seem to continue to have this issue.
24  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.21] on: August 28, 2012, 08:12:26 PM
Yes, that is possible, but the more plausible explanation in this case is that there is no key because the user who generated the address hasn't spent any coins from it yet. 

Um no.

I tried oclvanitygen today, and discovered that it produces output like the following, instead of private keys.

Code:
Match idx: 0
CPU hash: 93b30d0ad99f8133a0bc3c4793a27dbad5a0961f
GPU hash: 0a0db39333819fd9473cbca0ba7da2931f96a0d5
Found delta: 1919 Start delta: 1

Am I doing it wrong?

The good that will come out of a Pirate default is that the Bitcoin economy will undoubtedly survive it unscathed, therefore once again proving that it's here to stay for the long term.  

To those who believe in free markets, Bitcoin's history so far is a good example of how an unregulated transparent market actually learns and gains resilience from crises.  As opposed to the "real world" crony fractional reserve moral hazard economy where crises and imbalances are swept under the rug until they get so large that they become structurally unfixable.

That's another good benefit. I see no reason to stop there though.


What good came from Madoff, or the original Ponzi?

I don't know, nothing? How is that relevant Smiley

The point is that something good could come of BS&T.
27  Economy / Speculation / Perhaps some good can come of a BS&T default. on: August 23, 2012, 04:33:02 AM
I see about 16 orders visible on mtgoxlive at the moment, all for about 4000 BTC each, distributed very evenly.




Assume for a moment that pirate defaults (whatever you may think about the situation).

It has occurred to me, that if the community writes a simple trading bot for pirate (or really, he could write it himself since it would be a very simple bot), maybe pirate could at least use his BTC to help stabilize the price.

He probably wants to sell a bunch of his BTC it anyway, and he could choose to sell off during sudden price spikes only, and keep the market depth reasonable.

At least then some good would come of BS&T.

Let me guess... you were expecting satoshi to reveal his innermost secrets?

I would have settled for some amusing meme text.
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone encoding a message to the address with 400k coins? on: August 19, 2012, 08:48:49 PM

Oh :/

Thanks for pointing us to that.

What a boring message though.

I love this idea.

Hopefully sufficient incentives can be provided for capable penetration testers to conduct such a service.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to old people on: August 14, 2012, 05:31:13 PM
Problem: they don't know what online, internet, email, scanning and emailing is. Not joking, they really don't know ANYTHING about computer. And, worst thing, they don't want to learn about it.

That is not true of everyone who is "old" (whatever age that may be).

When they aren't interested in learning about it, you don't need to explain it to them. When they are curious, it's handy to have an explanation ready to go.

What makes these coins "Beiber coins" instead of just bitcoins?
34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will deflation be the fatal weakness of bitcoin? on: August 08, 2012, 10:20:52 AM
Bitcoin as it exists today will fail.  Bitcoins are constantly being lost.  Yet there will never be more than 21,000,000 created.  Someday the last bitcoin will disappear and there will be none left.

A sufficient solution may be to raise the number of digits used. Then mining can continue for a while (since mining stops before 21 million coins due to rounding issues, but could continue when precision is increased). As long as we have a few satoshis, we have enough for everyone in the world due to infinite divisibility.

This is awesome!

Looking forward to seeing chain reorg support.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gauging interest: A mining contract marketplace. on: August 05, 2012, 08:09:53 PM
I'd rather use GLBSE.


I appreciate the feedback Smiley

GLBSE does not offer this service, or a service like it.

I'll work on showing users immediately how different this is from GLBSE bonds/shares up front before launch, since this seems to be one of the common misconceptions so far.

Computers can't beat Humans at Go.
This is still true as far as I know, although:

a) You have to be pretty good to defeat a computer at Go.

b) I don't know if anyone is really trying to make software/hardware that plays Go really well these days.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gauging interest: A mining contract marketplace. on: August 05, 2012, 06:29:31 AM
This post is to gauge interest during this last phase of development, not to release the service Smiley Sorry!

I don't get it... Is your site working or not?

Well the site works fine, but the mining contract marketplace service is not launched yet. If the response is positive, it will be launched around next week. If not, then it may not be launched at all.
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gauging interest: A mining contract marketplace. on: August 05, 2012, 06:04:16 AM
How does this compare to contracts available on GLBSE?

They aren't very similar, so it's tough to compare them.

First of all, these are nothing like buying stock in a mining company on the GLBSE, since those depend on how that company performs. The only unknowns with a Ferroh mining contract is network difficulty, and what the price of contract will be in the future (you could buy a contract just to sell it later at a higher price, or sell a contract just to buy contracts later at a lower price).

As for actual mining bonds on the GLBSE:

Ferroh mining contracts are fixed length contracts, they are not open ended like GLBSE stuff typically is. Selling a contract in the Ferroh mining marketplace means depositing 50% of the price of the contract to guarantee that you can pay if things move against you (i.e. difficulty falls or doesn't rise fast enough), and Ferroh pays you interest on funds that are held.

Buying a 1 GH/s Ferroh mining contract for example, is identical to buying 1 GH/s of mining equipment (that has zero downtime, zero stales, and zero variance). The amount of bitcoins you get depends only on mining difficulty. Whether it was worth it to buy that contract depends on how much you paid, and how much mining difficulty changes.
