Re: base58 module up on the cheeseshop (python)

Old post, but I reply anyway.

I just downloaded this package and tried to create a simple example to make sure I'm using it right. I took the RIPEMD-160 output from the Technical background for creating addresses and wrote this code:

Code:
import base58

data = "00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6"
print(base58.b58encode(data))
When run:
Code:
bSLesHPiFV9jKNeNbUiMyZGJm45zVSB8bSdogLWCmvs88wxHjEQituLz5daEGCrHE7R7

The Base58Check encoding should be "16UwLL9Risc3QfPqBUvKofHmBQ7wMtjvM", not the one above. So I tried this:

Code:
import base58

data = "00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6"
print(base58.b58encode_check(data))

When run:
Code:
4tLt7VRA9EvEYi3vrZSvS6ynpFmfLnFL4Ugx77ga4VPNFavt6T96TZxXwMrpGW2wj5gCWhkGYM

Does anyone know how to use this package correctly? Sadly, it lacks of instructions or a readme file.

Thanks.

I'm thinking about buying this bot. Does it require a lot of RAM/CPU power? Or can I just use a simple, shitty notebook that runs 24/7?

Re: A BTC-EVE Online trading service: viable?

Oh my god, I can't believe I'm reading that right now. Just yesterday while playing EVE I had the exact same thought. I'm doing full time mining and selling the minerals for ISK. Getting some BTC out of it would be great. A service like that is a very good idea.

Do you have any programming skills? On my part I could do some HTML/CSS, PHP and right now I'm learning C.

If I want to overclock my miner, do I have to increase the chip frequency in the Cgminer configuration?

Isn't SHA256 made by the NSA?

Yes, it is. But the algorithm was fully analysed (like ECC, etc.) - so it's unlikely the NSA has backdoored it. But with enough computer power...

Re: Creating a New Coin for Large Online Community

Making a new coin for a specific community is useless. Stick to the things that are already around. If you come up with something new - that could be interesting und useful for a crypto currency - then go for it. But don't just copy the entire source code and rename it into a scamcoin. We don't need that.

COULD be legit, but I doubt that. Looks like a scam to me.

Avalon

I have two Avalons for sale. Both work perfectly fine, but one of them has a broken back-plane power supply (ASIC itself works). You can either buy a new one* or use one that you already own.

You have following options:

Case:
- You get the full case
- Corsair RM 1'000W powersupply
- Power cable (+World to Europe adapter)
- Avalon ASIC 100+GH/s (with back-plane powersupply)
(- If you want the second ASIC too; +0.9BTC)
Price: 1.5 BTC [Updated]

ASIC only (100+GH/s):
- Avalon ASIC 100GH+/s (with back-plane powersupply)
- Data cable
Pic: http://i.imgur.com/DCJHtsA.jpg
Price: 1.3 BTC [Updated]

ASIC only (80-90GH/s):
- Avalon ASIC 80-90GH/s (without back-plane powersupply*)
- Data cable
Pic: http://i.imgur.com/pbavkXv.jpg
Price: 0.9 BTC [Updated]

* Can be bought here: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Avalon-back-plane-notum-module-power-supply-notum/227686_1546371185.html (keep the shipping in mind)

I'm worried about the future of Bitcoin
by

Bitcoin got me really excited. From the first day I heard about it I was blown away. I studied how it works and how it cuts off a lot of the risks (for example double-spending, etc.). The System is just genius and uses smart ways to create a decentralized payment system where no trust is needed. But something keeps me worried.

Right now, there are thousands of miners all over the world. I mine myself too. But since the difficulty is going up so fast, a lot of people are giving up the mining business. It makes sense that the difficulty goes up, but I think this will lead Bitcoin into a centralized system. Let's look at the American government for example. They have millions of taxpayers and no legal limits. I wouldn't be surprised if they would try to take over the Bitcoin network (hashrate, min. 51%). "Dumping" Bitcoin probably wouldn't be worth it, but what would be worth it (for them) is to censor/block transactions. They'd have the full control and power over it.

Using proof-of-stake, like Peercoin does, would make it more expensive and time-consuming. But still it's not truely safe.

What do you think about it? Will that be a problem?

If you use a separate computer for all the wallets (BTC, LTC, PPC, etc.) you can simply keep it offline, right? So you NEVER connect(ed) it to the internet. As long you send it to the right address, everything is fine I guess. Is that correct?
