totally unrelated, but the economics thing is actually a "nobel", including the quotes. Its full title is "Swedish National Bank's Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" which says pretty much everything about the legitimacy of the prize compared to real Nobel prizes and the criteria for getting one

univbee posted:Seriously, with a 4% return that's $68k a year and is equivalent to making more than $32 an hour. Admittedly you can't have a nonstop hookers and blow party, but you can live extremely comfortably on that. Hell if you're fine with just renting and being mobile, you can afford to rent something pretty respectable with that and even if it's not in an expensive city you'd rather be in, you would still have ample money to make regular trips to the city of your choice in the world and can certainly find the time in which to do so somewhere in the 40+ extra hours you'll have of free time over your loser friends who are working. but where can you get a guaranteed 4% return these days

Alpha Mayo posted:I was thinking about shorting everything long term on margin earlier with a couple thousand, then I realized that there's a significant chance thatmost of the exchanges are just gonna disappear when this is all over with so it becomes lose/lose. Much funner to just sit on the sidelines and not get poop all over my hands. By holding USD or other normal currencies you're implicitly shorting Bitcoin. Don't touch the poop, even with gloves.

ilmucche posted:There are also four bills going through the Wyoming State Legislature this legislative session to expand cryptocurrency's availability in Wyoming - including one that allows for the placement of state records (business licenses, property deeds, etc.) to be stored on the blockchain, instead of in file cabinets that live in the Secretary of State's office. That's the entire point of the blockchain! The price is something we all certainly watch, but cryptocurrency is more than a "get rich quick" vehicle, and that's why cryptocurrency is here to stay Bitcoiners sure makes it sound like intra-institutional document forgery is a more common problem that it seems. It's as if they think every day, a dozen people go to the State office and find out that their house belongs to someone else because without ~blockchain~ no one guarded the integrity of the deeds.

Risc1911 posted:According to BitInfoCharts, a mysterious buyer with a Bitcoin address of 3Cbq7aT1tY8kMxWLbitaG7yT6bPbKChq64 purchased an astronomical amount of bitcoins worth $344,000,000 at a blended cost basis around $8,400 from 02-09-18 through 02-12-18. In total, this Bitcoin whale doubled down adding nearly 41,000 coins for a new total of 96,000 coins worth somewhere around $900,000,000 at today’s price ($9,400). Couldn't this just be an exchange moving coins into cold storage?

Funnily enough, Blizzard also hosed up and charged people multiple times some weeks ago. I also seem to remember they've hosed that up before, but couldn't find any references to it quickly because all news sites talk about the current gently caress-up.

comedyblissoption posted:Basic cryptography explanation: This isn't how the Bitcoin proof-of-work is done however. It's basically: you start with a text like "I am bitcoin block aaaaa, the previous block was bbbbb, and the transactions in this block has signature ccccc. Also, 0." Then you do SHA256 on this text, and see if the resulting hash starts with "000000...." where the number of 0's at the start varies dynamically by difficulty. In this case, it totally fails as the SHA256 hash is "e97379f34431e23e435d3b195e8dcfa50df7b74179270399e82298e377f147db". So you try again and increase the number at the end (nonce). "I am bitcoin block aaaaa, the previous block was bbbbb, and the transactions in this block has signature ccccc. Also, 1." - nope, the hash here is "7e48ca29140ecb109a3089a8448cd0fd05b35f9b099188c59b6ac8671ad274e4". Then you continue increasing the number at the end, and finally. "I am bitcoin block aaaaa, the previous block was bbbbb, and the transactions in this block has signature ccccc. Also, 11182491." - hash is "0000004d062540d54eeb82b3e13b52ad1822a01f61a1c6a16697ff45b01cca4b" - wow, six zeroes! That's enough to meet this arbitrary example's target! Now you send the block into the network and you "win", and the whole network moves on to hashing the next block. It has nothing to do with "reversing" hashing, you always know the plaintext, you are only interested in finding SHA256 hashes which fit a specific format. (Yes, this isn't the exact process, but close enough for example work)

No, people can not steal your wallet money with a 51% attack. They can, however, send someone money and get goods/other coins in exchange, then say “oh I actually sent those coins to myself, not you” and the network will believe them. (They can technically steal your money by changing the network rules and creating a hardfork, but that would be much more obvious to everyone, and they would need to convince an exchange to switch to the fork - if not, they are stuck with your coins on a fork no one but them use, and you still have your coins on the original chain)

To ask the question AARO should have asked - have there been any police busts where they shut down sites that openly sold child porn? All of the shutdowns I know about were either marketplaces that were focused on drugs and did not allow child porn (Silk Road, Agora, Evolution etc), or sites where pedophiles swapped porn for free.

a hot gujju bhabhi posted:Do I understand this correctly: if you have > 50% of the mining power you can have a wallet with, for example $1000, then send that $1000 to another wallet multiple times such that the destination wallet ends up with several thousand dollars? Or only twice? Not clear on the whole > 50% attack and how it works. It works by for example first buying a lambo for bitcoin - placing "here's 100 BTC sent to address X which is the lambo dealership" on the weak chain, but then after you drive off in your new car you have enough mining power to create a stronger chain where you say "here's 100 BTC sent to address Y which is still mine" and suddenly the lambo dealership gave you a car for bitcoins they no longer have you don't duplicate anything, you're just doing takebacksies even though one of the touted advantages of bitcoin is "NO takebacksies!"

Once the price of Bitcoin falls below the level where it's profitable to mine, there will probably be a change to the core that switches to a different algorithm or something. Nothing in Bitcoin is unchangeable, the main devs just have to have most of the miners on board with the changes. Price will still fall, but at least it won't be as wasteful with resources then, I guess.

I’ve always been sceptical of the «used to fund terror» angle - normal people have enough trouble finding places to spend their coins and/or convert it into fiat, I assume trying to buy bomb materials in some middle east country with butts is 100x harder.

Barudak posted:In the US point of sale data, card data, and membership data is all available for sale at the right price I mean, sure, if someone uses a card when buying stuff. But if someone uses cash without a membership card, they don't know who that person is. Unless they know which bank account that bill came from, which is what the ATM withdrawal scanning fixes.

MrUnderbridge posted:Stores don't scan bills. The bills go in the tray, and come back out. Unscanned. Do you never shop retail? Have you ever seen a cashier record a serial number? The 20 one guy spends might go right back to the very next customer in change for a larger bill or if they want cash back from a debit card. Unless each and every bill is checked at each and every transaction, coming and going, everywhere, every time, there are too many gaps to track individual bills. Not sure how it's in the US, but around there there is a trend that there's no actual money drawer - instead a machine that takes in bills and coins, then delivers out exact change. Primarily as an anti-theft measure (against both robbers and unfaithful employees), but it would be easy to add a serial number scanning feature when the bills have to be scanned for their denomination anyway.
