Re: [6600Th] Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB (New Thread)
I am the owner of 17JkL94B2ngJg4QQZuiozDQjnxXB6B7yTc , 1Gu8zxRi8cyENV8CQe52D7QEsiZ7ruT73u.
First of all, your PR is very good at dealing with such "incident", to make this thing clear, I'll past the timeline and post we have:
Overall, I think that you cannot prove that I was guilty, and you are innocent mathematically. The only word makes you look like innocent is like "I am the 2nd oldest pool, trust me".

so you are saying that even though, mathematically;
for the ~300BTC earned by the two addresses, roughly 12 blocks *should* have been solved/submitted by you
Because it sounds like you submitted no blocks. Thats like flipping a coin tails a dozen times in a row - either luck is way out of whack or you have a fake coin.
It's more like double that, because he has mined something like 600BTC on eligius without submitting a block.
The mathematical probability this dude not finding a block with the amount of work required to find 24 blocks is:
One in 81,000,000
ie. pretty fucking unlikely.
One In 81 million? Could you please explain the math.
My wallet ID is 9 digits long. Numbers and letters
Does this mean that there are only 62^9 possible wallets?
(That would be about 10^16)
That is within the power of computers to crack.
Or is it possible for different wallets to have a "collision" and just have the same wallet ID?

Electrum allows you to create any number of deterministic addresses that are based on the initial seed. You could have done something that asked for another deterministic address; press "new address" on your offline PC and it will likely be the same extra address.
I cannot find the new address button.
OK this worked:
typing this in console:
wallet.accounts[0].create_new_address(0)
I should have searched before but kind of freaked out!
I did not know that could get more addresses in Electrum.
Super cool!

I am running Electrum on an offline PC.
On my online PC I have an extra public address!
(5 addresses on offline PC, 6 on online PC with watch only wallet)
The change addresses are the same for both (3 of them)
What is going on?
I did not import any private keys.
This is just from the public master key

You can choose your own seed from the dictionary that electrum uses:

Other words don't work.
Electrum is great for offline use. You don't have to set your own seed to use it offline. Just run it as you would on an online system and it will generate a truly random seed for a new wallet. Much better than a human generated seed.

I do not trust the random generator from my computer
If I choose the seed words or change one of the seed words in Electrum to make a new wallet will it work?
I know we humans are not good at choosing passwords, but technicaly will the program work?
If the chosen words are truly random, how safe is this?
The plan is to run Electrum on a computer not connected to the internet to generate an address.
Thanks,

Re: For everybody who is considering selling - Quote from Jesse Livermore
+1 Paper wallet really helps with the sitting tight part. One caveat, though, is that Livermore ended up committing suicide, and penniless. Brilliant trader, but he had poor risk management.
Yes anybody interested can look it up on wikipedia. His lasts days didn't seem too joyful, he must've been pretty far down..
"On March 28, 1933, Livermore married 38 year old Harriet Metz Noble in Geneva, Illinois; there was no honeymoon. It was Harriet's fifth marriage; all four of her previous husbands had committed suicide.[10] Livermore would be no different."
LOL, are we sure this guy committed suicide? Holy shit.
People with assets on a brain wallet have less chance of suicide.
For everybody who is considering selling - Quote from Jesse Livermore
"It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I've known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine--that is, they made no real money out of it.
Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
So do not be so smart and just sit tight.

Re: mBTC: At what point should the community use this as the default unit?
I really think we're making too big a deal of this. The "general public" already deals with this in $. Ex: $50B. $50M. $50K. $50. 50 cents. we choose the appropriate units depending on the amount. I'm sure people will figure out how to do the same with bitcoin.
I understand your point, but the billion/million/thousand specifiers aren't (relatively unknown) descending SI units in an currency looking for recognition. Most people still can't differentiate between megs and gigs on their smartphone. Ask a hundred people on the street which is worth more, a BTC, mBTC or uBTC and I'll be surprised if more than 10% even notice that mBTC != uBTC.
To that end, doesn't it make sense to start using mBTC as the standard unit now, since that's the way the world will be headed if BTC/USD price continues to rise?
Tell you what: when BTC settles at over $100 a pop, I vow to start using mBTC
Next week???
Re: mBTC: At what point should the community use this as the default unit?
As BTC goes up in price, BTC holders will buy bigger things with Bitcoins
BTC will be good for houses, cars, other investments, vacations, jewelry, etc.
We can buy sodas with fiat.
Just like stocks and treasuries, etc. Nobody sells them to buy a soda.

Instawallet has 633,606 in accumulated incoming BTC
At 47.50 it is worth 30 Million Dollars!!!!
If Instawallet has fallen, this is Bitcoin's biggest theft.
Nope, you're wrong. Instawallet is stealing all the coins. To think otherwise is stupids.

I am not saying who stole what.
I am just saying the SIZE!
