Added to my oxymorons list!

It doesn't depend on the price, unbelievable! How can that be possible? I mean, it requires that BTC volumen is in function of the price. Higher price -> lower BTC volumen.

 

That's that I mean.

Okay @SpreadBit, here you have your Shakira.

Cómo vas a perseguir a una super empresa!? claro que no, solo van a perseguir a los chicos, a los que quieren compartir contenidos. Por ejemplo, si querés bajarte el torrent con la blockchain no vas a poder porque van a banear el sitio.

Con todo el cariño que siento por el pueblo español les digo que se están sobrepasando, están entregando derechos a diestra y siniestra a cuanto interés extranjero se le ocurra exigir algo. Y que me perdonen los españoles, en serio, mil disculpas de antemano pero el partido popular debe ser el partido menos popular del mundo entero y el partido socialista es sin dudas el menos socialista que me pueda imaginar y el pablo iglesisas nue... sin palabras.

Thank you 

I don't know if it is too much but ... is there any asian girl with possitive ass?

I know that. The problem is that it was consuming that cpu and memory forever, even after calculate the final balance.

Hi,

I wanted to consolidate all my wallets in one, just to have only one balance (because I has some satoshis here and there) so, I did a wallet backup 328 KBs and restore a 2 year-old wallet that I had with several small transactions and also imported the wallets that I had in my other computers. Finally I imported the backuped wallet's private keys. After that (almost 40 minutes), I had a 8MBs wallet and the bitcoin-qt client started to use 25% CPU and almost 500MBs RAM.

After this I restored the 328KBs wallet (it has just a couple of addresses and transactions) and all go back to normal. Is this the expected consumption?  

You're right, absolutly right. However I remember the courses and certificates "PC operator" (or something like that).

Provably you think that I am reading that old man but I've never heard about him in my life. Anyway, you're right when you ask for a *user* definition and I think that users are:

* People that own bitcoins (they have a balance)
* People that perform transactions often.

Good point, I have 6 addresses with balance.

TPB has lots of proxies all around the world and if the british goverment (or any other goverment) continue blocking sites we must continue bypassing those restrictions.

I like the T-shirts sadly the gov doesn't let us import anything  

It seems we are no very good estimating   Anyway, we could say there are in the range [0.25; 5.00] million people. Very few people.

Hi, is there an estimation anywhere about how many real users bitcoin has?

Why would he need that?

I think he only needs to create a raw transaction with createrawtransaction [{"txid":txid,"vout":n},...] {address:amount,...}
Of course he could create a little scritp to do that if it is a common task form him.

Thank you, @cbeast. Yes, I am new in the development sub-forum and I didn't know this is a common question ;(

Is some people doing something about it?

Hi,

Everytime I tell some people about bitcoin they ask me "who controls it?". I tell them nobody does it because it is a protocol just like http or smtp. However sometimes I think that that is not true. Of course nobody controls the currency but the bitcoin core team is who takes the decisions about the "reference" implementation, what means it is the team that update the protocol even when there are other full-node implementations out there.

In fact, if we have a "reference implementation" is because the thruth is in the source code instead of being in a specification document and that's also a problem. Moreover, you need to be a top hacker to understand the reference implementation source code because it is a bit messy so, if I am right, the thruth is in a messy piece of code.

These facts don't look very well because it means centralization and unilateral control. And there are other signals here and there, in this moment I can read "News: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 has been released. Download." in the this forum header. I mean, it is more and more like the "official" node. Oh, the alert message described in the protocol specs looks like a centralised broadcast system (yes, I understand it is okay and is there for a good reason)

I think something should be done in order to improve this situation. I know it sounds awful but we need an agreement system like a IETF for the bitcoin protocol.

Is something similar in the roadmap?
