I have tried to start meets when I was in college, they failed really bad, one person came, this was 2012 thou. Also in 2011 I went to a meet up in NYC and learned how to buy drugs off silk road, pretty sure those people didn't really care about bitcoins end game, just the drugs. I also went to EVR, I was going to ask for Charlie but I didn't see him there. SO what are some of the good meet ups and places to talk advance bitcoin stuff! I am in NY/NJ and no I am not an actual "Guido". P.S I am not some anti-social person in my parents basement, bitcoin let me move to a basement in the SoHo Trump j/k (I have a gf and go out to clubs). I just feel most of the meetings are like "This is bitcoin 101" and I am more on "bitcoin 400 at this level you are required to have a go bag".

Does this exist? I would like to do this, kinda like legal zoom, sadly they will not take my bitcoins.

I have to say if the founders of foundersgrid read this they did an amazing job on this http://foundersgrid.com/bitcoin-regulation only issue it was just one question. I enjoyed this so much because it got so many different people (People that I didn't even know, but knew their product and some I didn't even know the product/service). It wasn't the same old same old people, which their is nothing wrong with. I hope they do more of these, because I am very guilty of this, that I forget there are so many products/services in this economy that we call bitcoin.

Hey guys, here you see a proof of concept video. - I am using a randomly generated bitcoin address (however they are all weak as you see) - Alone this shows you that there exist many many many weak (almost an infinite number of) bitcoin addresses. - I am working live on the block chain with real coins (all transactions in the video can be verified on blockchain.info) - I am cracking the bitcoin address in a few secondsSorry for all the cursing but the day has been pretty stressful. Show nothing but ok keep thinking you have a program that can crack private keys.

Is the OP regular updated? If so, would you mind adding a small footnote "Last updated: xxx" ?
The forum automatically does this. If you hover on the time/date of the post you will see when it was last edited.

You simply do not understand it. I wish I had made this topic moderated, then I could delete such trolls and troublemakers like you and keep the thread clean.
I am not trolling LOL I am proving you very much wrong.

No one has broken the ESCDA public key, if he did he would have taken a lot of money and he hasn't. He didn't take my address and the public key is published since I have done transactions with it. He is probably harboring back to the android flaw or something like that. Nothing to be worried about it.
This is just some FUD nothing serious.
And I do not take your concerns serious. You obviously have no that much ida about cryptography, you have no serious mathematical background, you probably did not even understand a single word of what I was talking about (or at least you prentend). Actually, ECDSA is breakable by nature - the question is just with what complexity. And there are certain tricks to reduce the overall complexity, and there are addresses which complexity is pretty low by nature. But I think it is wasted time to explain everything to you. And what the hell should I do with your $16 wallet. Have a delicious lunch at McDonald's? I have a degree in mathematics so yeah, but don't you want to prove me wrong? I want you to take my money.

This is what i was afraid about when i started the other thred https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=430000.0That some evil-genius find a smart algorithm to break it all How many combinations are there to try when you have the public key? No one has broken the ESCDA public key, if he did he would have taken a lot of money and he hasn't. He didn't take my address and the public key is published since I have done transactions with it.

gweedo, as you are talking about math:
If you say something like: "it is impossible to brute force a private key, it would take many many lifetimes" And I give you a key, that can be bruteforced in 10 seconds, than - by definition - your statement was proven to be wrong.
Stop playing this, let me use your words and twist them you know what I mean. Just generating a key pair is not brute forcing. You got it wrong. What I mean is, I could generate a key pair, share the public key with you, and you would be able to recover my private key in an instant with any "script kiddy key cracker" in a manner of seconds. Alone the existence of such key proves that it does not neccessarily take a lifetime. That is impossible, so stop lying. If that is true do it on my address https://blockchain.info/address/1GweedoZJYb5CNLfSaBgBBYS2y7BMVb2WoHe's not saying he can get the privkey for any bitcoin address, it sounds like it can only get the privkeys for certain "weak" addresses and close approximations for others. Some private keys should be MUCH easier to find that others, so this could actually be legit. If it's useful is a different question. Then he is talking about hacking brain wallets due to the random entropy being a word or something easy.

You abviously have not read my answer correctly. Please do so, then we can continue talking.
Wait so you can't brute force my address in seconds then? $16 in that address it could be yours. The public key is visible since I have done transactions so if that is what you need it is there.

Don't anyone buy this, it is impossible to brute force a private key, it would take many many lifetimes. This is the protection that addresses give.
That's what gweedo says. But who tells us "gweedo is the pure incarnation of physics laws"? I would rather say, the facts are described in the original posting - now the people may position it in their own world view and judge weather they find it useful or not. Actually I can prove Gweedo is wrong:I can generate millions of Public/Private Key pairs that are being cracked within seconds. Alone the existence of one such key should prove that "gweedo" is somewhat ... well ... let's say on the wrong path. It is called math, people don't have to believe me it is math.

I am looking for a SAAS or PAAS cloud hosting for PHP. I want to be able to scale fast and furious. Also when it is idle I don't want it to scale. So yeah, I know this is a horrible model for bitcoin payments but someone out there has to offer this type of hosting.

The thing is, I thought sending 0.05 BTC would be such a large amount that I do not have to spend Tx fees. But it seems that not only spending but also sending to a multi-sig wallet increases the transaction size and makes tx fees necessary. Why are you trying to get out of paying fees? Do you believe miners should not be compensated for the time and cpu to verify and find blocks to include your transaction? Raw transactions can really screw up your bitcoins if you have no clue what you are doing. You can try to recover the tx by doing -reindex on startup of the bitcoin-qt. You should have done this in the testnet where it is safe you can experiment I use the testnet all the time!

I have a lot of projects that I just never bought a domain or wanted to launched. So I want the community to tell me what I should do if I should launch it or sell it. 1) First is a stock image site. I wanted to launch this but just never got around to it. I built it over a couple weeks and then I just forgot about it. So now you can owner or if the community wants me to launch it. Screen Shots of the site... https://i.imgur.com/nxhhinQ.png, https://i.imgur.com/q6TyL1F.png, https://i.imgur.com/eG1Hm5G.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/NwVPeXo.jpg2) Is a twitter ad network. I will be honest I was never into this idea and I thought it was against the terms of twitter so I built the site, but never went ahead and launched it. Screen Shots of the site... https://i.imgur.com/jLu6H5i.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/dsnSAHk.jpg3) Is like Odesk or Elance type site. This is one of the first sites I wrote but I didn't have any money to launch. Then when I got some bitcoins I never launched it. This one could use an update probably, but it is very secure. Screen Shots of the site... https://i.imgur.com/aMOhryd.jpg,https://i.imgur.com/6OIX4YE.jpg,https://i.imgur.com/bICLasF.jpg,https://i.imgur.com/mmMQkKX.jpg,https://i.imgur.com/IjwvEOe.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/xJr7Udm.jpgSo that is it for right now, if you want to buy these scripts pm me I can set you with them fairly easy. They are very secure, they are full sites that just sit on my development server.

I just don't get it, their are so many better ways of making bitcoins and yet people still are going to copy the exchange model over and over. Today I have seen 2 post on Odesk for virtual coin exchanges. Like come on guys we need creative people not 1000000 exchanges that do the same thing.
