See this comment from Gavin : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=82213.msg906833#msg906833Edit : Basically (if I get it right), you can make a multisign Bitcoin address using the command line (but no user-friendly GUI). And to spend funds from this address, many seperate people have to sign the transaction. So this is not as simple as sending a transaction from your computer. Some work still need to be done on this part. I also suppose this requires manual utxo hash selection, right? Not sure about this, but today one of the easiest way to use multisig (that I know of) is Electrum. |

Following discussions over the past few weeks within the Bitcoin community in Israel and members of the Scaling Bitcoin Planning Committee, it has been decided that funds held by Ron Gross will be contributed to the Scaling Bitcoin event. The established requirement is that roughly ~50% of these funds will be used for R&D stimulus, while the remaining ~50% will be contributed to the event budget. Since a large portion of Scaling sponsorships is used to provide for academic and developer subsidies, received funds allocated toward the budget will be prioritized to cover our subsidy and diversity efforts. For the R&D stimulus, we will allocate 3.0 BTC for grants and form a grant committee that will award these funds to presenters at Scaling. The grant committee will establish the required criterion for the award recipients. Participants in the grant committee will be published at a later date on the Scaling Bitcoin website. The only requirement we would like to set forth is that only the work that directly relates to and impacts the Bitcoin protocol or Bitcoin development qualifies as a recipient of these awards. This was the initial purpose of the donations collected, so this remains the priority. Funds will be transferred in the coming days to 1V5Sbs6TghoaEJzoWkmsSGefNaAbhVdwY following which, 3 BTC will be parked at 3A8oxUi1XFoX9umM1VDD9ChPywMgG2kz22 pending the conference. The conference will take place on 11th and 12th of September 2019 at the Tel Aviv University and funds will be awarded on the 12th of September at the end of the conference. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place at approximately 17:55 IDT (UTC+3) but the conference schedule frequently drifts. For a more detailed schedule and related information please visit https://telaviv2019.scalingbitcoin.org#schedule On behalf of the Bitcoin development community, we would like to thank Ron Gross for such generous contribution and in the coming weeks, we will be making sure these funds are used to produce the maximum impact on the Bitcoin community.

Hi there, There are 1.2 BTC in bounty that I started in 2012, currently worth a little over $10,000 in an old bounty I started here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=103123.0They were originally geared towards creating a Windows Installer for OT/moneychanger. Nobody claimed the bounty, and the coins have been sitting there in a wallet (I have access to). Any thoughts on where the bounty should go? I found this thread from 2014 about a Windows installer (obsolete by now). Is that the rightful owner of the bounty? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77301.msg859040#msg859040The best person to send it to would be Justus Ranvier. Here's a receiving address for him: 176MHZMUzQhRh1ik7zhffyzdeF3Y9nkkhM He's currently coding full native blockchain support into OT itself. Here's his commit history: https://github.com/justusranvier/opentxs/commits/blockchainWhen the latest wallet is released, there will be a Windows installer for it, since the new UI is all based on Qt. OT now also has UI classes with native Qt support. Mind if I (or you) post this on the bounty thread, for sake of transparency? Can you are I contact him and verify publicly that he owns this address? One reasonable way would be to create a repo or commit with a statement that he owns this address. FYI the new wallet won't be Moneychanger, but it is a new OT wallet, based on Qt, and multiplatform. We will deploy on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android. I contacted Justus so you should be hearing from him directly. He will provide you whatever proof you need. And yes, I think it's fine to post this on the bounty thread. And Justus definitely deserves some reward for all the hard work he's been doing on this new wallet. FYI you can also reach him at justus@opentransactions.org |

My favorite way to proceed is to give the funds to the Scaling Bitcoin committee, and they can decide how to distribute the funds to the various projects.
|
|
|
|
FYI, this address still has 1.4 BTC/BCH in it. I contacted fellowtraveller, the author of OT, 2 weeks ago asking for advice on what to do with the funds, and got no reply. I'm considering adding this bounty to another old bounty I'm managing and redistributing now. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or comments. |
|
|
|
FYI - Back in 2012 there was a [bounty of 5.725 BTC]( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93606.0) (& eventually BCH) dedicated to this project, to which I'm the custodian of. As nobody claimed the bounty, I plan to find a suitable project or projects that deal with Bitcoin Scalability and transfer the coins to them. Check out the bounty thread for updates, I expect a decision to be made within a couple of weeks. |
|
|
|
Update: I think BCH should go to a relevant BCH project, and not to Bitcoin/BTC. Also, I'm in contact with Anton from Scaling Bitcoin conference (upcoming in Tel Aviv on September), sponsoring that might be a good usage of the funds. Posted on /r/bitcoin + another thread on /r/btc for donating the BCH. |
|
|
|
|
So, I'm doing a cleanup of old wallets ... and this one seems to have 5.725 BTC & BCH, currently worth a total of $48,977.83.
I think the "Blockchain pruning" project counts as abandoned by now:
> 8. Project abandonment - if sufficient time has passed (> 1 year), and I deem the project is abandoned by its originators and there is no interest to develop it in the community, then funds will be donated to a Bitcoin-related organization (e.g. developers of Bitcoin-qt, managers of bitcointalk.org, etc...). I will choose the organization/s, and will consult on this thread before doing so (but the final call will be mine).
I plan to take a couple of weeks to find a proper home for this money.
As it's been years since the bounty was started, I don't want to take any action to swiftly - I will give people a chance to voice in any issues they have.
Barring any concrete issues, the money will be donated to a relevant project within a couple of weeks.

Has MasterCoin died? I still have my mastercoin wallet and was looking to see what funds I have in it, but none of the links in the OP work. Did it have a name change to omni or is this a completely new coin?
Yeah Mastercoin has been rebranded Omni a few years ago. Go to http://omniwallet.org/Ok, is there any way of transferring the funds? I don't even know if I have anything in the wallet, but I have a saved walet.dat file on my hard drive. Thanks  . You should probobally try https://github.com/OmniLayer/omnicore. I'll leave further info to active members of the Omni team, I'm not really updated on how things are done these days. |

Can it be Core and Classic instead of Core vs Classic ? My discussion with Jonathan Toomim in "Miner In World" WeChat group. http://pastebin.com/B8YQr5TQI'm working on a proposal for a rotating PoW changes to allow Core to survive Classic activation and bring an era of endless GPU mining to Core. Please take the time to read it and comment. Guy I think the problem you are trying to solve isn't real. I think Core and Classic will converge to friendly competition, and be on the same blockchain. There will not be an actual work between these two groups. My 2 cents. |

Hi guys, thanks for the love (wow it's been a while since I posted to bitcointalk) " I haven’t sold my coins. In fact, the percentage of my net worth invested in Bitcoin is in the high double digits. I am not blinding optimistic that “Bitcoin will rule the world and reach $1,000,000 per coin”. However, I do feel that we are on track, and the jury are still very far away from announcing Bitcoin’s demise."
I am in the same situation.

Glad this is released as open source, thanks coinpair for this code donation.

I'm glad to see attempts to create a distributed token-based social network.
Diaspora failed because there was no monetization model, only ideas.
With Synereo you can motivate developers and early adopters to try it out, and if it works and the network later becomes huge, they will win big time (as well as everyone else, because we will be getting a decentralized open source social network).
Wishing you guys good luck!

Sorry for this necrothread ... but after Casacius shutting down, is there any other reputable agent who's replicating that operation? (Not in the U.S I'd imagine).
It's high time I got my physical millibitcoins.

For fun I took a look which pool confirmed the about 7000 blocks which contain about 14000 Mastercoin transactions and it turns out Eligius confirmed only 6 blocks of them which is far less than the expected value given the portion of total network contribution. So I was wondering.. are you actively blocking Mastercoin transactions?  Yes, the spam filters are capable of picking up most Mastercoin spam. Please don't play games to force us to upgrade it. Hopefully more pools will gradually improve their spam filters too. What you call 'games' we call 'resistance to censorship, and is definitely on our roadmap. https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/spec/issues/248 |

Why would you do that (and bump this old thread) except for pure trolling purposes? Considering that fact that secp256r1 has unexplainable mystery parameters I can't imagine anyone outside of the NSA promoting it. Because I haven't been able to piece together that the issue brought in this thread was fully resolved (maybe I missed something / read too quickly), and wanted to expose the matter at hand to more eyes. Since then I also posted to reddit and via it found this other bitcointalk thread that sheds more light on the matter. No trolling intended I assure you. |
