Schrödinger's Bitcoin Thought Experiment
by
SwannyMatt
on 13/02/2014, 04:16:10 UTC
A long standing physical bitcoin mint with an impeccable track record has a one in a trillion glitch (unbeknownst to anyone) on their automated assembly line. The bitcoin was allocated to the physical coin but the private key was lost forever due to the glitch. The coin circulates in the market, and everyone perceives it's worth a bitcoin. Before it is opened for the world to recognize the private key is corrupted, is the bitcoin dead, alive, or both at the same time?

How Can I Recover Private Keys?

My computer won't start at all and the C drive has to be reformatted. But I can copy files out of my C drive with command prompt. What are the locations of any files that would be needed to recover my bitcoins stored in an Armory client on Windows 7?

Yes it was very stupid I didn't backup... Help please Cry ?

Bitcoins in South America
by

on 13/05/2013, 01:49:36 UTC
I'm currently travelling South America and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any restaurants, (or other tourist stuff) in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, or Brazil that accept bitcoins as payment?

Google isn't being helpful and is just giving me links to localbitcoins.com

Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Muchas gracias!

Re: Ripple or Bitcoin

Pardon my ignorance as I try to wrap my head around Ripple, but couldn't it just use BTC instead of XRP? How would it not work as well? Is the only reason for it not working as well with BTC is that Opencoin wouldn't have a stock of XRP to hand out to promote the system? If that's the only case it doesn't sound like a good reason. If so I would assume that as soon as Ripple becomes open source a fork would be created with people opting to prefer their "free-ish" transaction fee be denominated in BTC as opposed to XRP?

Re: Bearish Inverse Pennant Chart Formation

First off, I aint selling.
Secondly, I do believe chart patterns are mostly -- if not entirely -- a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.


What? Someone care to explain this statement?

Line 1: Not selling in case I'm wrong. Because the fundamentals for bitcoin obviously haven't changed. But the technicals clearly have, and perception may have changed.

Line 2: I believe technical analysis is pseudoscience/self-fulfilling prophecy, but I use it as an indicator anyway only because I know lots of other people in the market trade that way.

Comprendé?

However there is a nasty inverse pennant formation brewing if you look at a one or two month closing chart with 30 minute or 1 hour interval. I'm on mobile and can't link to it, but please punch that in and see for yourself.

I'm scrounging up as much money to buy on the way down. Target price may be as low as $40 and might hover around there for as much time as the price had hovered around $2-$10 after the $30 peak in summer 2011 until october 2012.

Re: Bullish Ascending Triangle Chart Pattern
by
SwannyMatt
on 20/03/2013, 06:21:08 UTC
This triangle is not bullish, if you look closely the upper line is slightly descending (and not ascending as you have wrongly painted it in your chart), it is trying hard to look bullish but failing to reach at least the previous level on each new attempt (and therefore failing to paint at least a horizontal upper line into the chart) is actually bearish, expect a serious drop (short term, buying opportunity) before it actually breaks the $50.

Note that this is not the ultimate reversal but its also not a continuation pattern. There will be a serious correction before it can continue.

The upper line doesn't matter, and was probably flat even. I drew that with MS Paint. What matters was the formation of a big triangle, then the smaller one. Regardless, I was right Grin.

Click HERE to see the original chart.

Also, part of the contrarian in me thinks the dominant short-term perspective is that Bitcoin is overbought, especially after seeing this (fairly ignorant) article. I think there may be another short-term pop.

Thoughts?

Question about blockchain fork
by
SwannyMatt
on 13/03/2013, 03:09:53 UTC
I don't really understand it. Does this mean that theoretically Bitcoin could split into two different crypto currencies? For example if someone made more significant changes to the open source code, and let's say half the people thought it was a good idea and adopted it, and the other half didn't like it and stuck with the old version? I know that's not likely but I'm using it as an example to understand the concept. Would coins get stuck on either side of the fork, or would they be duplicated on either side?

I appreciate all the encouragement Grin. I don't need people to pay me. I need a reliable and trustworthy person that has experience in hosting and creating a website that I can partner with. I'm familiar with flash actionscript, photoshop (logos?), and premier pro (Could make a video that showcases everything for our customers to share to bring more gamers in). Above all else I'm willing to risk the funds to operate this idea -- at a loss -- for up to a year (BF3 server, website, etc).

Thanks for the reply!

After talking to a friend that does video game design, and Google searching, it looks like I'm in way over my head. Security of people's accounts alone seems like a nightmare Cry.

Once I have 5 posts and post my idea in Project Development/Service Announcement, how will I know someone is trustworthy enough to work with?

Give "Play FPS and earn Ƀ" another shot

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89506.0

I want to start a Bitcoin Gaming + Betting website where you can bet on your performance against other participants in various games (starting with Battlefield 3, then eventually adding Counter Strike, Starcraft 2, anything).

I have zero experience running a website. I don't have much of an idea on how to write a computer program that would interact with a Bitcoin client, deal with user accounts, or fetch information coming from the game. Lastly and most importantly I have no idea how to make sure the server I have running everything doesn't get hacked with everyone's Bitcoins ending up stolen.

But I have the capital to start a website, run a low ping Battlefield 3 server, and able to pay for free lancers to design a logo, web design, and what not. I have some experience with Flash's Actionscript 2.0. And I have a good idea of a fun betting formula for how funds would be bet/moved between players.

Where and how do I start?!

Easier way to safely store Bitcoins?
by
SwannyMatt
on 12/12/2012, 03:28:55 UTC
Hello, I'm very interested in Bitcoins and bought a couple a month or so ago. I'm getting more confident in the potential that Bitcoin has and I really want to buy a bunch more. However I'm not completely confident with my security set-up and I'm very confused with the "How to set up a secure offline savings wallet" tutorial.

Can't I just install the client on a USB hard drive with the internet off, unplug the USB after install, then transfer the funds from my Laptop? Obviously it won't be nearly as safe as that insane tutorial linked above but how much less safe can it be? I don't want a Wuala account, bitcoin linux binary, ubuntu, truecrypt, or any extra stuff like that...
