I'm pretty sure those are bitcoin addresses, not public key since public key and address uses different format^[1]

There are 2 types of public key which are compressed and uncompressed and i think that's the problem/reason you got different bitcoin address from what you expect. But i didn't read the code, so i might be wrong.

Without any context to indicate otherwise, I'm just going to assume this is part of an "I know how to beat the market! Pay me to learn my secrets!" scam that's always popping up in one form or another. Be careful, people.

Just saw on the Internet. The guy bought a ledger. He is now sure that his coins are completely safe!

If the West Indies could bat well in the fourth innings then it can be a draw and England can have a relief that they did not get white washed by West Indies, i am interested to see how England will perform in the one day series before the world cup, i really thought they had a really good team coming into this world cup and i considered them to be in the finals, but with the display in the test series they did not look like world beaters.

I never recommend buying because at any time that could be wrong. And of course, the price went up quite a bit lately, so a correction could be near. But I, for myself, think longterm. My reasons to be bullish are...

1) the fundamental reasons listed in my last post and
2) if BNB is so strong during a shaky bear market I consider it as very good longterm bet, once the market turns and the sentiment becomes better again. We've seen Ethereum at a marketcap of over $120 bn.

And I believe the Binance Chain will be superior - while it will not be about Smart Contracts, it will exactly be about what has lead Ethereum into a hype --> Issuance of Tokens. And I also believe that will become much more serious and professional in future, while Ethereum will probably not be the number 1 Blockchain to go anymore, but Binance-Chain - also because of their coming DEX.

Binance-Chain is coming soon.
Binance-DEX is coming soon.
Binance goes international, enables Fiat and makes hundreds of millions of profit in a bear market and burns BNB

I believe it's one of the best in Crypto, especially in this depressive-shaky market.

Does anyone think binance coin is very stable?  Is it a good buy right now?  Seems to keep going up and stay steady while other coins are going up but not that much.

what does the wan coin actually do? people make interoperable swaps on the wallet but how does the coin fit in or add value or link in this method? what is the use of owning these coins? What do they do?

Actually, no, it doesn't follow bitcoin closely like other alts. Have a look at this:

(Marketcap-wise BNB is still up if compared with 1st of January, 2018)



Comparing it with other big market-cap coins (including bitcoin):



This is one unique case - and it's all because of one truly genius guy (CZ). I wish I had kept my whole portfolio in BNB throughout this bear market!

It is interesting to keep eye on this project surely it will make this more great than before the development going on much faster. Cardano is project for next generation and it will open the door of opportunities and will make involve in this.

weird that the initials AF were in the filename and are also the beginning of your nickname but it stands for Dragon Ball AF.

 It's a Canadian synonym for spent.  I use the same term every time I buy anything!

Do they have scales or hair or both?

Doesn't look very vegito to me, Vegito has that blue and orange jumpsuit.

Speaking of the powers that be, does anyone know how many variations of Dragon Balls there are?  I spent a few hours watching old Dragon Balls videos on YouTube just to figure out what character was in afbitcoins avatar... turns out it isn't Vegeta!  Who knew?

I withdrew a non-negligible amount of USD from TradeHill by simply filling out a form on the site and clicking submit. The resulting page said that they would put a check in the mail that same business day. Apparently they did! Because that was only last Thursday, if I recall correctly, and the check arrived today.

So this is just a report for anyone who wants to know that there was no delay, confusion or extra steps.

Here's my TradeHill referral code. So far I've made about $0.50 in referral bonuses, so it isn't so much that I hope to make a lot of money by passing out my referral code, but it does give you 10% off of their normal fees if you sign up with it:

I do however have to point out that it still continues to follow Bitcoin closely.
