M4v3R: Bitalo pool hash rate

Reward types & explanation:
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work returned to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]

List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, and Losses

2014-03-22T19:51:00Z

M4v3R: /* June 2011 Mt. Gox Incident */

Following is the result of research on prior Bitcoin-related thefts. Dates and times are sometimes approximate. The list is designed to be as accurate and informative as possible, and most of it is well-referenced. For disputed thefts, best judgement was applied and only the ones that were most publicly accepted were included.

'''This article is under construction!'''

== Events by date ==

=== Stone Man Loss ===

* Time: August 09, 2010, 11:35:00 PM ± 600 s
* Victim: Stone Man @BitcoinTalk
* Status: Coins lost, effectively destroyed
* Amount: Exactly 8999.00000000 BTC
* Equivalent in June 2013 BTC: 5.73 BTC
* Transaction of interest: [https://blockr.io/tx/info/eb5b761c7380ed4c6adf688f9e5ab94953dcabeda47d9eeabd77261902fccccf eb5b761c7380ed4c6adf688f9e5ab94953dcabeda47d9eeabd77261902fccccf]

Due to not keeping proper wallet backups, 8999 BTC sent as change were effectively destroyed when the private key controlling them was lost. Because this theft is from 2010, it is not included in severity lists.

=== Ubitex Scam ===

* Time: April 2011 to July 2011
* Victim: Investors on GLBSE of Ubitex
* Status: Ubitex founder known, but nothing returned
* Amount: About 1138.98 BTC (amount “invested” into Ubitex)
* Equivalent USD: 11668.70 $ (wt. avg)
* Equivalent in June 2013 BTC: 155 BTC

Ubitex was the first company to be listed on the now-defunct GLBSE “stock exchange”, which has been criticised for its illegal operations<ref>[http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-10/24/bitcoin-exchange-collapse-glbse Olivia Solon, “Founder reflects on the closure of Bitcoin stock exchange GLBSE”.]</ref>. The company was run by a minor, but this fact was not initially known.

Around 1000 BTC of the missing investments are said to have been “spent”, many of which were further scammed, or converted into USD without follow-up.

The Ubitex scam would not have been possible today. Bitcoin users at the time were enjoying their newly-acquired wealth thanks to significant appreciation. Most “investors” at the time were extremely naïve.

=== Stefan Thomas Loss ===

* Time: June 2011
* Victim: Stefan Thomas
* Status: Coins destroyed (no thief)
* Amount: Estimate 7000 BTC<ref>[http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/3/ Wired Magazine “The Rise and Fall of Bitcoin”.]</ref>
* Equivalent USD: 128000 $ (wt. avg, rounded to nearest thousand)
* Equivalent in June 2013 BTC: 1250 BTC

Stefan Thomas, an early adopter (and eventually developer) of Bitcoin, uses this loss to teach other Bitcoiners the importance of backups — many of them. He had three copies of his wallet, and yet lost all of them.

=== Allinvain Theft ===

* Time: June 13, 2011, 05:52:00 PM ± 600 s [satoshi estimated block transmission time]
* Victim: Bitcointalk.org user “allinvain”
* Status: Thief uncaught
* Amount: Exactly 25000.01000000 BTC<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16457.msg214423#msg214423 Allinvain's personal account.]</ref>
* Equivalent USD: 502750.20 $
* Equivalent in June 2013 BTC: 4480 BTC
* Chief transaction of interest: [https://blockr.io/tx/info/4885ddf124a0f97b5a3775a12de0274d342d12842ebe59520359f976721ac8c3 4885ddf124a0f97b5a3775a12de0274d342d12842ebe59520359f976721ac8c3]

A polarizing theft, its authenticity has undergone much dispute. Some believe that it was set up as a ploy for donations. However, these critics often lack evidence to back up their claims. Indeed, the victim was an early adopter who mined many coins at a low cost, so there is little reason for him to sabotage Bitcoin's image.

Although the hack attracted great attention in its day, said fame has mostly subsided. Even today, however, the hack still affects Bitcoiners. A common debate among Bitcoin users is that of “tainting” coins, and this hack is often used as an example for why “tainting” coins is futile. In just a few years, coins stolen in this hack are now present in nearly every user's wallet. This rapid redistribution is often cited as a reason that a tainted coin system would certainly fail.

=== June 2011 Mt. Gox Incident ===

* Time: June 19, 2011, 06:00:00 PM ± 1 h (theft), days ensuing (hacks & withdrawals)
* Victim: Mt. Gox (some claim also customers)
* Status: Thief uncaught
* Amount:
** Stolen by thief: 2000 BTC<ref>[https://www.mtgox.com/press_release_20110630.html Mt. Gox press release]</ref>
** Additional withdrawn from Mt. Gox: 643.27 BTC<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20207.0 Admission by BitcoinTalk user “toasty”.]</ref> (lower bound)
** Total: Lower bound 2643.27 BTC
* Equivalent USD: 46970.91 $ (trades on Mt. Gox not reliable at the time)
* Equivalent in June 2013 BTC: 473 BTC
* Transactions: none released officially

Mt. Gox, then the leading BTC/USD exchange service, suffered a severe breach as a consequence of an ownership change. The sale conditions involved a share of revenue to be remitted to the seller. To audit this revenue, the seller was permitted an account with administrator access.

The seller's administrator account was hacked by an unknown process. The priveleges were then abused to generate humungous quantities of BTC. None of the BTC, however, was backed by Mt. Gox. The attackers sold the BTC generated, driving Mt. Gox BTC prices down to cents. They then purchased the cheap BTC with their own accounts and withdrew the money. Some additional money was stolen by non-attacking traders capitalizing on the dropping price and withdrawing in time, including toasty, a member of BitcoinTalk.

Mt. Gox resolved the hack by reverting trades to a previous version. Many customers claim they have lost money from this reversion, but Mt. Gox claims it has reimbursed all customers fully for this theft. After the incident, Mt. Gox shut down for several days.<ref>[http://www.dailytech.com/Inside+the+MegaHack+of+Bitcoin+the+Full+Story/article21942.htm Daily Tech, recap of incident]</ref>

The event's scale was widely disputed; some report a theft of almost 500000 BTC due to related account hacking. However, these reports are sparse and disreputable. Closer inspection puts the losses at closer to 2500 BTC.

Aside from the direct damages of the theft, the hack involved a database leak. Some weaker passwords were used to conduct the relatively more severe Mass MyBitcoin Thefts.

Buying Bitcoins (the newbie version)

2014-03-11T13:15:55Z

M4v3R: /* Via SEPA Bank Transfer (EU) */

This page aims to be the best resource for new users to understand how to buy Bitcoins. The existing [[Buying bitcoins]] page is too complex.

Read [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_To_Buy_Bitcoins_With_Your_Credit_Card How To Buy Bitcoins With Your Credit Card], for information about buying Bitcoins with a credit card.

{{Counterparty-warning}}

===PayPal===

[http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2293/how-can-i-buy-bitcoin-via-a-credit-card-or-paypal You can't directly buy Bitcoins using PayPal], because it is risky for the seller, and therefore few sellers will offer this. There are basically 3 reasons for that:

* The buyer of bitcoins can always perform a chargeback and there is no way for the seller to contest that

* There are many hacked accounts and when PayPal realizes that such an account has been fraudulently used, they will also perform a chargeback

* PayPal doesn't like bitcoin, as the bitcoin network is in direct competition to it. They will ban accounts that have anything to do with Bitcoins, and freeze their balance.

Having said that there is a [http://99bitcoins.com/buying-bitcoins-with-paypal-a-practical-guide/ workaround] that can be done in order to use Paypal to buy Bitcoins but it holds within it higher transaction fees. Using the [http://VirrWox.com Virtual World Exchange] you can buy Second Life Lindens (SLL) with Paypal and then convert your SLL to Bitcoins. This process will charge you transaction fees of around 6% but will let you purchase Bitcoins pretty quickly as opposed to a wire transfer. The reason this method works is because you do not buy Bitcoins with Paypal directly, you only buy SLL with Paypal (which is acceptable by Paypal's TOS) and then exchange your SLL to Bitcoin.

'''Note''': If you only want to take advantage of Bitcoin's price volatility You can trade CFDs on Bitcoin via Paypal on sites like [http://Ava-Trade.co.uk AvaTrade] or [http://99bitcoins.com/plus500 Plus500].

Starting in October of 2013, physical Bitcoin ATMs have been installed in Canada, Finland, Slovakia, Australia, Germany, and the UK. Use a [http://bitcoinatmexplorer.com/ Bitcoin ATM Locator] to find a machine near you.

=== Anonymity ===
There is a huge demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies.
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.

=== Exchanges ===

=== Anonymity ===
There is a huge demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies.

DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.

Buying bitcoins

M4v3R: /* Fixed Rate Exchanges & Others */ Add Bitalo.com

There are various methods available for '''buying bitcoins'''. See [[Buying Bitcoins (the noob version)|here for a Newb-friendly version]] of this page.

{{Counterparty-warning}}

==Market Exchanges==

Market exchanges are those in which buy orders are matched with sell orders, so the price offered depends on the market. If a service quotes a price then it is not operating a [http://bitcoincharts.com/markets market] but instead is a broker that buys and/or sells coins. Those exchanges are found in the list of [[Buying bitcoins#Fixed_Rate_Exchanges_.26_Others|fixed-rate exchanges]].

Exchanges are listed in alphabetical order.

Physical Bitcoins are bearer tokens that have an embedded redeemable digital bitcoin value if torn open. While they are somewhat expensive if bought purely for the digital bitcoins, they are relatively easy to get, because they can be purchased with PayPal or credit card - payment methods typically not accepted for pure digital bitcoin purchases.

Buying bitcoins

2011-05-19T15:04:54Z

M4v3R: /* Small amounts */ BitMarket.eu currencies

One issue currently facing a newcomer to bitcoin is, how do I get some? While there is the [[bitcoin faucet]] that can get you started with a small fraction of a coin, when getting larger amounts the user faces an abundance of choice. This page will cut through the clutter, and help direct you to the right exchanger for your needs.

==Large amounts==

For large amounts of bitcoin (USD 1000 or more), you probably would get the best rate if you deposit funds via bank wire, ACH, Euro bank transfer, or via [[Liberty Reserve]] into a major exchange.

Buying bitcoins

2011-04-07T19:30:47Z

M4v3R: My bad, it already was listed below.

One issue currently facing a newcomer to bitcoin is, how do I get some? While there is the [[bitcoin faucet]] that can get you started with a small fraction of a coin, when getting larger amounts the user faces an abundance of choice. This page will cut through the clutter, and help direct you to the right exchanger for your needs.

==Large amounts==

For large amounts of bitcoin (USD 1000 or more), you probably would get the best rate if you deposit funds via bank wire, ACH, Euro bank transfer, or via [[Liberty Reserve]] into a major exchange.

For smaller amounts, the options are limited due to bank transfer fees, conversion fees and transaction size restrictions. Options include:
