0.01 BTC was transferred in to the address on that date, but nothing else. Still, thats $10 or so.

Gordo: You would not have needed to be online to receive the money to that address - only the sender needs to be online. Its all to do with the public transaction blockchain etc. So if there were problems they must have been at Funktion's end. Or, he was bluffing and never sent it. Someone sent 0.01 in, for sure.

In short: with a normal wallet, to work out how much money you've got, you open it up and have a look.

with a bitcoin wallet, to work out how much money you've got, you look at the entire history of bitcoin transactions, count the totals coming into and out of your wallet's addresses, subtract one from the other and thats what you've got. Everything is public except the private keys that lets you send from your wallet's addresses.

If you still have the private keys to that wallet's addresses (in the .wallet file) then you still control the wallet.

so nobody wants teh Machinedrum?

Yeah... i probably lost the wallet forever. Is it a .wallet file? Last night I searched old hard drives for a wallet.dat file to no avail. Still have one more place to search it in though. Oh well... .01 BC not that exciting anyway, damn you funktion for getting me worked up!!!

fuck my life

don't worry funktion, this'll all be moot once we can home manufacture everything including our home. [-;

so apparently nobody wants to give away their bitcoing for a machinedrum.

isn't it supposed to be the other way around, that you can't actually buy anything with BTC?

holy shit it's at 1230ish

/photoshop of hoard of LOTR gollum clutching tightly their bitcoin, mumbling something about their precious.

the coin seems rather resilient to the fact that China banned it from being used by banks..

I bought 1.1346 bitcoin on october 15th for exactly £100. Now worth around £800. hey, nice, should have bought more!

So will there be a WATMM party for all the new upcoming bitcoin millionaires?

Are there any watmmrs who have more than 800 bitcoins?

Also a little more substance on the China angle

thx for shoving that paywall bs into my face

If you're quick you can control+A control+C before the paywall bs .. heh .. shows up. Then dump in wordpad (to keep the formatting).

This is insane. What is exactly driving the price up? Popularity after the SR bust?

I knew I should have bought some during the early crashes this year.

There are different Bitcoin clients and I think they might use different .wallet formats. Or they might be compatible, not really sure.

The two main ones are Bitcoin-Qt and MultiBit so try them first.

Nobody shoved anything anywhere. It's not exactly a paywall, if you register for free you get a certain number of articles for free/month. And FP is usually pretty good.
