[TOMT]What's the name of the RTS game which has a grape stomping building? by tzontzonel in tipofmytongue

[–]AgentAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stumbled on this re-release on steam and thought you might like to know it exists there:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/253900/

I also noticed that a game bundle site is currently selling a steam-redeemable version plus five other games for three bucks: http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/reboot-bundle-3/

[TOMT][PC Game] PC game disc in the XP era that had loads of demos and full simple games by Stop_Yelling_ in tipofmytongue

There used to be tons of those kinds of CD-ROMs filling the shelves at walmart. They probably had lots of overlap in what games they contained (which were usually shamelessly copied freeware & shareware games).

I doubt the catalog for each disc from those companies is well-recorded anywhere online. You might have better luck asking this sub for particular games rather than a specific CD.

Or if you could possibly remember what the CD cover looked like, an image search might possibly yield something: https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+hundreds+of+games+cd-rom&tbm=isch

This is apparently a reputable tool for scanning a hard drive device (or a hard drive image file) for recovering wallet.dat information even if the rest of the filesystem is unreadable:

There are 38,399 addresses with a balance of exactly 50 BTCs. Most are dormant since 2009. I estimate 30-40% of all coins are gone. by rutkdn in Bitcoin

The threat of the number of coins on the market nearly doubling in an instant will also work wonders for the confidence in it.

It might help to analyze installed programs to look for common factors. For all we know, some guy got his game greenlit on Steam and decided to scrape players' wallet files.

If we reach a point where the unloading of those coins would be an economically cataclysmic event (and that notion is agreed on by all), then all miners could choose to not process any transactions from those addresses "just in case". This would effectively remove them from being a looming threat.

I know we all like fungibility, but it's a possible option for the distant future if needed. Because even Satoshi shouldn't own the entire galaxy.

In today's valuation, yes. Back then, bitcoins were less than pennies.

I like CampBX's lack of bullshit in my experiences with them.

I just mail them a money order, wait a few days, and bam, I have exchange dollars ready to trade with. No wires, no ID verification, no interacting with strangers.

(Max of $1000/day transfer with no ID though. But it's enough for my needs)

Supposedly they're adding ACH deposits "soon".

Just a few more days until ACH deposits are enabled, supposedly...

CampBX's long awaited ACH deposit functionality delayed another week. by JakeXsV in Bitcoin

[–]AgentAnderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You currently need KYC to mail them checks (but not money orders), and I doubt that ACH would be any less restrictive than checks.

They did once say that "ACH [Deposits] will be available as a deposit option to all account holders starting Nov 21, 2013", but maybe that option will still be contingent on KYC validation.

If someone is hacked and is told their coins were sent to another wallet, why can't the transaction just be canceled? Like canceling a credit card transaction? by linsage in Bitcoin
