might be possible inside job mate and its really affecting the price and there's some weak holders who is worried that's why the price keep moving down a days ago but those who believes and buy more is now enjoying it, it is just a manipulation so just hold on don't go with the flow.

I always buy. I don't care about the price today, but years from now.  Cool

Re: Really stupid question about offline address creation and the blockchain
by

on 13/07/2016, 23:06:59 UTC
Yes, you can see every single possible address. These are visible because nothing an address does requires it to be "registered" onto the blockchain. An address is a special encoding of the RIPEMD160 hash of a SHA256 hash. To computers, these hashes are simply really big integers. Because we know the size of a RIPEMD160 hash (160 bits), we know what the biggest number that it can represent. This happens to be 2^160. Thus every address is already known because we know what all of the numbers between 0 and 2^160 are and can thus get the address without ever knowing the private key.

Ah... Ok.. Thanks, now I get it, the maths now make sense, thank you for that! Locking topic now thanks. Wink

There is nothing about creating addresses that is like "registering" on the blockchain nor are they "assigned" by the blockchain. You generate addresses by generating a random number (the private key) and then manipulating that with hashes to get to the address. This is done offline. Technically every single address ever already exist, people just need to guess the private key for the address.

Ok, thanks, that is helpful. However. To take your explanation one step further - Does that mean I could theoretically "see" a public address already existing on, say... blockchain.info, before it was technically ever generated offline?

That's the part I don't get. How is the address visible on these sites if the address was created offline? I can't see how they could already be there, that would a lot of data right? Thanks again and sorry for still trying to understand!  Huh

[SOLVED]Really stupid question about offline address creation and the blockchain

Ok, so I want to create a paper wallet. How does an address get created (BTC) on the blockchain, if you have no internet connection? I see it's possible, I just don't understand how it works, I'm missing something apparently - I see you can create literally thousands of addresses. What I don't get is how exactly they exist with no connection to the blockchain? are there millions of unused addresses out there?  Huh

Thank you. Smiley

Re: [0.9 BTC] Selling VERY trusted Legendary account

So let me get this right - QuickSeller is going to NOT flag the account UNLESS it scams? How is that trustworthy in any way? Tongue

No bullshit. Account will be flagged once someone notices a change in post style or going from non active to active after a long period of time. Since it's on DT, this issue would be brought to the meta section getting more exposure and then most likely removed from DT and negative trust would be added.

This is probably why there is not many interested compared to other accounts.

Let's hope so... Not doing this would just be allowing some newbie to game the system, scamming or not...  Roll Eyes

Re: SMOOTHIE HEALTH & FITNESS WORKOUT JOURNAL

I find that planning out your meals ahead works wonders when trying to lose weight... Dieting is 70% of the battle for me.  I like checking out /r/MealPrepSunday for ideas on what to make for the week... The hardest part of dieting is cutting out the alcohol...  Roll Eyes

For me it is very similar.

Diet is huge.

I just dont plan my meals. MY fridge is just filled with foods that are non GMO organic and that I like to eat. SO even when I have cravings there is always something to help with that specific craving that wont make me gain weight instantly.

Also consistency is #1.

Without it, my whole plan would fail.

I'm down in the low 200's from originally around 260-265. Huge life changer.

That must feel good! Awesome!

Are most of the workout you do stuff that you can do at home?  Or do you go to a gym?  I think the main thing for me is getting out and jogging, but I get real bad shin splints and problems with my ankles all the time... When I was a member at a schools gym in college I would just stick to the cardio machines, but now since I'm out of college I don't have that priveledge any more... so I never made that decision if it was worth going and getting another gym membership or not.

I just hate how they have to rope you in the year long contracts and that sort of thing.

I'm not a big gym fan either myself. I used to try and run 5 miles a day, that kept me in really great shape until I got too old and have knee/hip issues, so have had to cut it down. Don't like lifint weights much either, but may sell my treadmill (expensive one that's getting old) for a new elliptical, but I've never used one yet either. Thanks. Good stuff to read. Smiley

Looked pretty 'nice' in this list : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_To_Buy_Bitcoins_With_Your_Credit_Card
But when they after one week hasn't replied to any mail or any feedback on their site, I cannot think that this is nothing but a scam.
Of course the payment-link on the order leads to PayPal-payment as 'friend' and there is no option to dispute it via PayPal.

so how much were you scammed then?

Yah same here. Windows 7 has very simple designs, I already used to it, I cannot change for an upgrade anymore.


I took the free upgrade to windows 10. it's fine, everything still works in fact I like it better, it's nothing like windows 8 imo

Re: Yobit exchange scam EXPOSED, proofs inside

on 02/04/2016, 23:00:41 UTC
I am using only yobit and no problems.
I am using Cryptsy and MtGox, they working perfect
you should deposit your bitcoins with them Wink


read the whole topic again, so you know whats the matter

It doesn't looks like he followed the topic.

Anyway, Cryptsy is down and what about the other website? How are they related to current topic? Are they exchangers too like yobit?

Come on!  Really?  Mt. Gox?  Never played "Magic the Gathering?"  Yobit doesn't come anything near the volume Gox or Cryptsy had so the comparison is hyperbole.  Yobit isn't for the serious investor but more like a place to play and learn about altcoin trading before entering the real markets....Before anybody invests into a coin, they need to research what there investing into first.  Yobit is place to learn these lessons....I learned a lot from the yovicoin experiment, but I do feel sorry for those who invested into it late who didn't realize what they were getting into until the market stalled again....rise only will stall everytime!  If the limits were removed....it would totally stall--because the sell walls would become so enormous and the prices so high that it would cease to make sense to invest at all.  At least it's still moving for the time being....it's just moving very slowly!

Was this reply for me? Tongue

If that's for me, I really never played "Magic the Gathering" Cheesy
If yobit is for newbies to play and learn, then it must be a perfect place for me, except getting stuck with the 12K YOVI.

Holy shit, please tell me you are kidding about Magic the gathering , and that everyone understands the guy talking about cryptsy and mt. gox is being sarcastic, as both are currently dead as shit? Tongue

Simply put, no matter what people say in this thread, people give them for whatever they think they need to give it.
Some are crusaders looking for scammers, others just dont like the other etc etc.
It is just abused.

I remember a cartoon i saw once in my dad's hustler magazine as a kid.

It had 2 monks writing the bible and one says to the other, "Imagine if someday people actually believed this horseshit"?

Not sure why, but that always stuck with me.. LOL.

Moat of those lending sites are full of scammers. Lol. It's way much etter to lend or get a loan here provided with a collateral. Anyway, you can also try btcpop. So far I think it is the best lending service provider so far for me.

I would agree. Look at the amount of scammers on btcjam right? Tongue

I can tell you that it is wise to buy it.
The price is in fact very low and people go, I think buy now massive and wait for a good price. But it is a risk you run and unpredictable.
