Send me whatever questions you have too. I'm a php dev.

It's known that he may have a million BTC in his possession. The bitcoin network clearly showed that if satoshi makes transactions the price drops. Even if he is not satoshi, big transactions from old generated blocks is creating a trouble in the market.

If satoshi sells 500BTC price may drop 2-3k dollars. So he is not that rich, isn't he? 

About electrum:

Can I somehow insert the address itself and not the whole public key? It asks me the public key and it is a small procedure to get the public key from an address.

Hello, I think it would be nice to have a thread talking about tor browser.

Now I have some questions, because I'm trying to understand how it works. When I connect to the tor network, am I purely anonymous? I've read it's decentralized, but I don't get how the anonymity takes part. Does it work like a vpn, but all the participants of this "game" share their IP addresses?

Also, how does the DNS works? How can I register a .onion?

What has bitcoin done to me? A whole new way of thinking and developing. Blockchain. No one controls it. Neither you are a government's man neither you are a simple family guy, you just can't.

Also, as @mk4 said, the ability to hold your money without having them physically or stored on a bank is liberate. And fascinating too.

I'm not using Ubuntu on VM. I've installed the OS with a bootable usb from a youtube tutorial. It "ate" 28GB of storage, I didn't expect so much 

Anyway, I'm going to try compile bitcoin core from there. No I don't want to be a node, I want to create an altcoin, just for fun. The problem is that it is much more complex than I thought...

Okay, I sent you a private message.

Wake me up only when

What is the difference of compressed and uncompressed private key? (importing for wallets)
Also, great work. Finally a project of creating addresses written in javascript. Many cold wallets can be created from your project.

What do I mean.

Let's take this private key: L3wMo5Z7UdvqTRmTRAjtowUAqDrKmKpvuWbLZtgFkmWvT6cW7xDG

It generates that address: 1B2N5m6WhZ3eGQb2Th7L6khR9JDjSdG1Fh


If I use this private key: L4wMo5Z7UdvqTRmTRAjtowUAqDrKmKpvuWbLZtgFkmWvT6cW7xDG it won't generate me an address. Why that? I thought all 52-length strings generate their public keys.

I don't support it. The guy that sent me that video uses bitcoin.com

"bitcoin:" didn't matter to put it or not.

Ah. I thought all the possible different combinations were all possible 52-length strings.

Would this be a greater number than 2²⁵⁶?

Hi, so I have a client that wants to pay me 10$. He wants to pay with bitcoin. Okay.

When we reach the time to send me the money look what happens:

He pastes the address I own and he doesn't allow him to continue? Why?

I was actually thinking that too, recently. Even if most of the people that have bought cryptos are just holding them, there should be an eshop for those that want to keep their anonymity when they'll pay. I don't understand why ebay does not allow their users to accept bitcoin. (with their own responsibility)

When did amazon do that? I can still see that it only accepts paypal, bank transfer and gift cards.

Of course you shouldn't trust it. 99% of the dark web's marketplaces are scams. Guess why, because you can't catch them.

Recently a man was deceived by someone who had change the electrum source code on an old version of it. He lost 1400BTC(!)

I had made a similar question in the past, but the answer didn't satisfy me. Why should that hacker use a mixer? If he try to sell the bitcoins from his main address (the one with the 1400BTC) he will get caught, because he will prove that he is the hacker.

If he send 1BTC to 1400 owned addresses, though, no one can prove that the person that owns those 1400 addresses is the hacker, right? They can only ask them where did you get that one bitcoin.

The bitcoin is made in way that even if half of the miners cannot afford mining, then the difficulty will adjuct as well. So I don't think that transactions will ~never get confirmed.

Why are mixers legal? The only purpose I find on them is to money launder. They are literally useless if you don't have anything to hide.

I thought that both BSV and BTC was created by the same person 

Is there any person that lost lots of money by waiting for only 1 confirmation? Because I've heard that a 51% attack has never happened before.
