A fork would not work, all it would do is weaken bitcoin. The best choice at this point would be to just switch to an alt.

Re: Do you really earn more money because you went to college?

It is a tricky question. Even if you go to college, you need to actually use the education you obtain to your advantage. The fact that you went to college by itself does not guarantee anything.

Re: Martingale System
by
ubuntuLover
on 07/07/2014, 06:36:28 UTC
So how much can you make using martingale? It seems very little then.
I have tried a few runs with one satoshi as base. At lucky times, I made 200% the amount in one day while I have lost 0.001 within seconds on many other days. Your expected profit is and will be negative since House edge exist, people only use it because they think they can succeed.
Do you have any screen shots of you doing this? I think that it is very far fetched that you could have tippled your money using the martingale system.
Unfortunately, no. It was pretty long time ago. Impossible to even profit from this in a long run. In many occasions, I have got a 18 lose streak. It was probably just my luck.
I call BS on this as 200% profit means that you have thousands of wins prior to losing 18 in a row. Your odds of that happening are just not there
Its up to you to believe it or not, I left it there for a few days, from 0.001 to 0.002.
Mathematically, it simply doesn't work. You are more likely to lose all you have through a bad streak than you are of reaching 200% profit. The exact calculation can be found lying around on the web.

Re: Securing my forum account

It's best to include it naturally in a post. But if you can't, you can send a PM to an account that won't delete it (you could use DefaultTrust for this). After you send it, check your outbox and make a note of the PM's ID (visible in the quote URL).

Add it to your signature and the bitcoin address section. Even if the hacker changes it, theymos can check.

I can't conveniently check signature edits.

I think you're supposed to send it to yourself in a PM

I can't conveniently see PMs if all recipients have deleted it.
Thank you for your reply. I will do it the PM way, since I probably won't start being completely active until later on.

Securing my forum account
by
ubuntuLover
on 06/06/2014, 17:26:22 UTC
If my account ever gets hacked, I want people to know what my Bitcoin Address is so that I can sign messages and verify my identity. Is there any place in the forums to do that? I can't just post it randomly around here, because the hacker could simply edit the post with his own address or delete the post. It should be something like the Auctions sub-forum where you can't edit or delete posts, except this would obviously not belong there.

Don't report people because of their bad English. Bitcoin is a global currency with no official language, and so should be these forums.

This is a really cool concept. I'm a bit confused though. Until there are enough people running the software, will some files become inaccessible if someone turn of their computer?
Im still waiting for someone to answer this guy's question.

I don't think one person could have developed such an amazing thing. It had to have taken a group or something. Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the group!
Or just a random member, perhaps? Like the "face" of the group.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. WTF?

on 31/03/2014, 00:52:53 UTC
It amazes me that Hollywood would have us believe military satellites can read your morning newspaper from ten miles away. Obviously untrue. But I don't understand how they can't get ANYthing? Just on the simplest most basic level, there were 250 people with cell phones, and I'm sure they had onboard wifi, they can't use the telcom satellites to triangulate the last ping...? Or is there some reason that would not be feasible...?
The search area is enormous. It is extremely ridiculous, which is why they haven't really found anything. The plane could also simply not have been there.

I am trying to get into the BTC world, and I thought that a good way to do it would be to ask here for a good webhost that accepts BTC. I'll be back tomorrow to check the answers.
