i hope you are encrypting your wallet before backing it up to dropbox! basically you are giving away your privatekey/wallet to any dropbox staff/snoopers.

As usual it seems Strong Money is moving from West to East; monitoring this revealed most of the BTC was being purchased by the Chinese.

Re: If I built a website for Alt-Coin Escrow would you use it?
by
lakeluke
on 08/05/2013, 15:09:57 UTC
I was already thinking about a site like that, but a completely different system  Wink

My idea: Something like an exchange

1) Both sides will create a profile
2) They will choose the person they want to trade with
3) They will choose the currency (each side another)
4) They will input their wallet address
5) They will send the amount of coins requested by the other side to a address proposed by the site
6) In meanwhile, the other side is doing the same thing
7) When both transaction person=>site are accepted by the site, a big green button will appear : "Are you sure do exchange XLTC for YBTC with PERSON_Z?"
Cool If both sides accept this, the money will be send automatically to provided addresses (transaction "site=>person")
9) There will always be a big red button "stop the trade" and both sites will be refunded

Unfortunately I don't have time to make it work right now, so feel free to use my idea  Wink
 

I think this is an excellent idea; the exchange could make a little money by charging 0.25% to each party.

To the OP: if you have the required skills this is the way to go, eliminating the need for human escrow

Re: How could micropayments work?

Totally agree; for sites wishing to use micropayments they should use an alternate cryptocurrency, and the second most successful one so far is litecoin, with faster confirmations.

Very helpful, especially for persons wanting to try out mining for Altcoins.

If I was to install a 4th 7950-GPU on the following m/b

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514&Tpk=990fx%20ud3&IsVirtualParent=1

via the PCI Express x1

(and the other three naturally on the PCI Express 2.0 x16)

can someone pls recommend a Riser card for that; a URL would be great.

And which PSU could power this system?

There's a guy here who goes by the name Mysteryminer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=13783 who has helped out in similar cases before; you might want to MSG him.

Good luck.

I have used flexcoin.com since 2011 and never had any issues with them; you also gain some "profit" a small % per year just like a savings account ( they share out the transaction fees proceeds)

Adobe PDF can be protected from printing and changes, but there are easily obtainable sw available to break this protection and allow others to amend your file.

One way you can consider is having a QR code on the pdf pages, linking back to a website for the book, and there will be another QR code there for the donation.

Re: 2013-03-23 Quantum computing nearing realization
by

on 24/03/2013, 07:57:00 UTC
The specific type of quantum computer D-Wave has developed can-not solve cryptography problems.

This has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

This.

D-Wave so called "quantum computers" do not use the quantum entanglement property, thus they can't break public key cryptography.

They call them "quantum" because they use atoms for computation - that's all.

Don't get confused by their marketing team who are obviously taking advantage of the terminology, perhaps to attract naive investors?

Thanks for the insight.

Interesting article, which might have some longer term ramifications to bitcoin's security.

 "Now, Lockheed Martin — which bought an early version of such a computer from the Canadian company D-Wave Systems two years ago — is confident enough in the technology to upgrade it to commercial scale, becoming the first company to use quantum computing as part of its business.

Skeptics say that D-Wave has yet to prove to outside scientists that it has solved the myriad challenges involved in quantum computation. "
