Hopefully, in a couple of years the price will go down.


I would preffer the price go down a bit now. I hope correction comes, I have ready some EUR at bitstamp just in case

Like I said. You can't control time. There is no way to do it. You'll just have to wait until they do lower the price.

Re: Another sending address & signing messages related question

Bitcoin miners have the entire record of all transactions, so when they receive a new transaction they check that the inputs to the new transaction are valid outputs of previous transactions and that the inputs have not been spent already. Miners will ignore transactions that don't meet the requirements.

If there was a bad miner that decided to include a bad transaction in a block, then the other miners would detect the invalid transaction in the block and ignore the block.

Hi all,

I've been reading a lot about how the sending address is determined

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189894.msg1972257#msg1972257

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198048.0

But there is one thing I was not able to figure out:
If my client (Bitcoin-Qt) uses more than one address to send the appropriate funds like in this transaction



Which address is the "Sending" one?

do I sign a message with "..7hE" or "..PrL"? or can I choose and sign a message with any one of them to prove I'm the sender?

Thanks in advance.

You can't.
There are probably people that will tell you otherwise but, unfortunately for you (although perhaps fortunately for those of us that receive large amounts of email and sometimes can't give everybody a response as immediate as the one which they feel they deserve -- and frankly I don't see why I should respond "in the next two hours" to an email sent at 8pm on a Friday evening as some of my correspondents expect) there is no reliable way of doing this.

The email system is rather loose-knit and wasn't even really intended to provide an immediate service in the first instance (indeed, it's still possible for it to take a matter of hours or days for an email to propagate from sender to recipient although it generally requires some sort of infrastructure failure for that to occur). As such, facilities for doing this sort of thing have never been reliably incorporated.

There is a partial solution in the form of "receipts". Most modern email clients allow the sender to request a receipt (which is essentially a return email generated automatically by the email client used by the recipient) under one of two circumstances:

  • email received
  • email read


The first of these corresponds to the email being downloaded by the mail client (or in some instances the server so this can be pretty far removed from what you want to know). The second corresponds to the particular message being opened in the mail client (note that there's no way for the software to know that it's been read; it could just have been the user pressing the wrong key or skipping through all of the mail in their inbox).

The second of those is probably sounding okay to you, and you're probably now wondering why my summary line is "you can't". The answer is that the software the person you're emailing  uses to check their email works for them; not for you. In short, there's no way you can trust what these receipts say as most modern email programs allow you to disable the sending of receipts entirely or on a case by case basis. In my case, my email software tells me if a receipt was requested and asks me if I want to send one: if I say no then it simply doesn't send it.

So, the short answer is that you can't. The long answer is that if you don't trust the person you're contacting to respond in a timely manner and to be honest about having received the communication then email may not be the ideal medium. If you can live with its vagaries then email is extremely convenient. If you require proof of delivery then traditional methods can provide much more rigorous certification (even if this comes with its own difficulties) and should certainly be used for anything with legal significance.

I'd rather it went down now than in a few years time.  Buying in is still 'cheap', but it could be at $1k+ in a few years.

Yeah! You can't control time. That's why there's 24 hours.

Hi people,

What's going on? For more than a week of Bitcoin price is only fall on. By now, Bitcoin for 10 € offered on Bitmarket.eu already.
Why is this happening? I mean the Mt Gox hack but is now a long time ago, but the course was in between I think also on the rise again shortly.
What do you think, how long will that still go on?

Re: Setting up bitcoind on vserver or locally - Need some advice
by
didjaydisteele
on 17/11/2013, 16:07:30 UTC
Running a BitCoin server is rather easy, and should only take a few minutes to configure. Depending on the abilities of your networked computers, you could take in a few BitCoins in a shorter period of time.

You'll need to create a file bitcoin.conf, which defines the username and password for clients to connect. This file will need to be in your Application Data folder, which was a hidden folder on my windows machine in C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Bitcoin. Make sure that when you create the bitcoin.conf file, that it is not really named bitcoin.conf.text if you made it on notepad.

The public key is the 2nd word in the Script Sig but you're looking at the 1st word. That's the signature. Signatures are 71 to 73 bytes (142 to 146 characters) long.

If you are using cold storage, a paper wallet or generating vanity addresses you may need to import a private key. Since Bitcoin-QT/bitcoind v.0.6.0, you can import private keys using RPC command importprivkey.

Re: CoinFest 2014!
by
didjaydisteele
on 17/11/2013, 04:14:15 UTC
A new era has dawned for Bitcoin, and CoinFest is back to showcase what 2014 has in store! As you've probably already heard, the Bitcoiniacs brought the world's first Bitcoin ATM (made by RoboCoin) to Vancouver, and Bitcoin took China by storm after Baidu announced its support. Now with the value of a bitcoin at all-time highs, a new company plans to bring 4 more ATMs by Lamassu here--just in time for CoinFest. With the rate at which we're planning to sign up new Bitcoin venues (and consumers), this might be the last CoinFest held at Waves, so read on for another amazing glimpse into the future of money!





CoinFest is a fun gathering for people of all kinds who are curious about Bitcoin. Here you can practice and learn about the revolutionary technology and concept behind new digital money. It's also the perfect place for Bitcoin afficionados. CoinFest serves as a free platform for the exchange of goods, services, currencies and ideas--an exciting event of freedom and opportunity, where you can meet the innovators who drive this movement forward. Intended as a hub for the Bitcoin economy, CoinFest showcases how it works for anyone to see. There will be plenty of attractions, such as:

• The CoinFest physical Bitcoin Faucet, an offline Bitcoin giveaway service that provides free Bitcoins to stimulate the crypto-economy. Those who have never had any Bitcoin, before, can get a couple dollars' worth from the Faucet.

• The Faucet also provides the prizes and bolsters the prize pool in the Bitcoin Poker/Card Games. We have games with small buy ins for people who just want to try out using bitcoins.

• A new team-based Bitcoin game challenge, even better than the Amazing Race from last year! Stay tuned for news on the rules and the grand prize.

• Live ambient music from a volunteer musician playing in the background. If you enjoy it, please consider tipping the musician a little BTC for his or her hard work.

• Tables arranged for anyone who wants to set up demonstration booths for digital coin trading (altcoins are allowed), merchandise, or discussion about a service or cause. Accommodations will be chosen by and moderated at the discretion of the event organizer.

• The Mining Demo Booth, a joint project between Bryan Hellard and CoinFest! He builds and demonstrates a Bitcoin mining rig that grows via a small take from each group buy made at CoinFest. Watch the Block Erupters multiply!

• 2 meeting rooms (1 large, 1 small), free for your booking any time during the event. Some activities may be given priority. If you have any ideas for a presentation, seminar, panel or discussion, start a comment thread about that idea or email me at a.j.wagner.89@gmail.com.





CoinFest has no rules beyond common courtesy (and decency) and those required by law; however, there are some guidelines that you should be aware of. The space and staff for this event are graciously provided by the chosen Bitcoin venue free of charge, so please purchase at least one item from the venue. This also encourages more venues to accept bitcoins in the future. CoinFest is an ardent supporter of cryptocurrency and does not work with fiat or venues that refuse to accept Bitcoin.


The organizer of this event does not charge any money to the Bitcoin venue or the event participants. It takes work, though, so if you want to, you may donate BTC to him at 13SH6sEaETA5Ca7Gb5kb1Yv5SjqxauvKdm. If you possess more than a few hundred bitcoins, or you are a business that will profit from this event, it is recommended that you donate and write him a nice message at a.j.wagner.89@gmail.com.

Individuals and businesses that support the CoinFest will be be recognized by the host and the community in many ways, and may be given preferred accommodations. For the upcoming CoinFest, 50% of the bitcoins raised will go directly to the Bitcoin Cooperative's Non-profit Bitcoin Outreach Fund, to be used for spreading Bitcoin awareness and acceptance in a manner chosen democratically by the community.


Meet Up: http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/150664252/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/427623470671171/
Address: 900 Howe Street (at Smithe Street), Vancouver, BC
Time: 12-6 PM, Saturday February 15, 2014

We will definitely have a hangout this time during the event. We will try to get more videos and photos and stuff.

Good to know!
