I thought the latest Bitcoin update had a fix to disallow such huge fees. Hope you get them back.

And this personal(off-topic) problem has to do what with Bitcoin?
1003  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: longpoll listtransactions on: May 03, 2014, 08:55:51 PM
Ok, so how do companies check when a payment has occured, polling?

Or do they compile their own bitcoind with some realtime protocol?
They simply poll bitcoind themselves, the rpc command listtransactions.

Well, at least now we know the deep reason behind Bitcoin's inception:  block china... from taking over US financial supremacy.
Or perhaps, it means the constant banning(could be block) of Bitcoin.

You are unusually calm about losing $180k at $1200 per coin. That said, file a report with the police, doubt they will do anything but this amount of money is not small.

Nice guitar playing though, but, yeah...

1007  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat is a germ transmitter! on: April 28, 2014, 04:03:05 PM
So, I am in the McDonalds line the other morning, and the line is around the corner at the drive thru.

I pull up and hand the lady my debit card, she has no gloves on.  She swipes it, hands it back, and I realized just how nasty that is.  All these people, and who knows whether they are sick, just had their hands on someone's privates, or ran out of toilet paper this morning.  My son is in the back car seat, and usually throws his hand up as soon as fries come through the window, and I got nothing to wipe my hands with.

Then I realized, if they accepted BTC, I wouldn't have to put up with that disgusting transfer.  QR code at the window, should be clear when I get to the food pickup, and that is a one way deal.

There you have it, fiat is officially a health hazard compared to BTC, as if we need more reasons.

I beat you to this statement a very long while ago OP. I have OCD and I wash all the time, and I've also noticed the same thing as you. Cashiers handling money then handling food barehanded without washing. How could I eat then?
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do I make a dice game? on: April 27, 2014, 03:00:47 PM
you really need to have good web programming skills.
making a website is one thing, making a site that can securely handle bitcoin wallets is another.


Don't forget choosing a secure web hosting service, some do get hacked and empty the wallets that way. But most importantly, hot/cold wallets are a must.
The hardest thing in the dice game is the chance/multiplier thing, that's the most difficult thing. Second to it is remembering not to use floating points.

The chart has been acting up, at times I am not able to draw at all under Chrome, it just doesn't draw no matter what I do, restarting the browser, nothing. It then fixes itself after a while.

1011  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Source Code available ? on: April 25, 2014, 10:23:30 PM
On the Internet today, there's a whole real time bidding (RTB) ecosystem that exists between publishers and advertisers.
Are you talking about plugging into that ?

Or simply an informal marketplace?

simply put ...code for another a-ads.com in simple PHP-MySQL
I am afraid Simple doesn't cut it in this day and age.
1012  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoins are going no where I am frustrated with BTC on: April 25, 2014, 02:12:59 AM
or buy wtv it is you want directly with the BTC loan?


wtv?

its short for "whatever"
Perhaps it'd be wiser if you refrained from using abbreviations too much, perhaps even start sentences with a capital letter?
1013  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoins are going no where I am frustrated with BTC on: April 25, 2014, 01:47:15 AM
are you trying to buy more or sell.

i dont get it.

Yea I'm doing a lot better, took dogs for a walk. I apologize for my behavior.

Officially, I wanted to get a btc loan, take the btc, transfer it to MP, load the MP to paypal, load paypal to newegg.

Then on repaying the loan, I officially wanted to buy MP, sell the MP for BTC, pay back the loan.

Places like localbitcoins got their prices jacked $100 than the exchanges asking prices.

Bitmit was the easiest, but they closed. It was on spot dollar for MP. So simple.

Edit:
But fincen closed bitmit.  Undecided
Then simply opt for the harder, but legal choice and use an exchange like stamp or the other US based ones. Sure, tons of documents to get verified, but hey, it's legal.
1014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Dirty Deals in Smoke-Filled Rooms" J. Ranvier discusses a Mike Hearn proposal on: April 25, 2014, 01:40:09 AM
Is Mike Hearn an NSA mole?
Was going to say the same thing. I think Mike Hearn is compromised, if this single idea of his goes through, then what the other bitcoin developers said about compromised developers is simply not true and they do indeed control Bitcoin.

So either Google is forcing him to "destroy" Bitcoin, or the government(or some government), or he is simply wishing to destroy Bitcoin himself.

Hello

i have laptop HP ProBook 4720s with AMD ATI Radeon HD 1GB 6300M graphic card.

I'm using bfgminer and my average hashrate is 14.25 Mh/s lol


I was wondering is there is any way how to increase my hashrate at least 200Mh/s??? I'm n00b lol. So please explain me. My pool @BTC Guild...

 Angry




What you are doing is torturing your laptop. Laptops, CPUs in general and graphics cards are not suitable for mining Bitcoin.
1016  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP! Mystery transaction/lost funds?? on: April 23, 2014, 08:19:33 PM
This appears to be the result of using a faulty wallet program.  What operating system are you accessing blockchain.info from?  Are you using a web browser or an installed app?

When generating the necessary digital signatures to broadcast the transaction, the wallet re-used a value that is supposed to be unique for each signature.  This allows a hacker to calculate the private key from the two signatures.  This is one of the reasons that it is a good idea to always use a new address for every transaction.  If the change had been sent to a new address (like the way Bitcoin Core handles change), then this attack wouldn't be possible.

Your 1PNa9dZ3P3fVhx1uMCqJ4sEYmyhxnQNy3M address is listed here:

Hello,

there has been a lot of reused R values in the signatures on the blockchain, recently.  This exposed many private keys.  After googleing the addresses, I think it is related to Counterparty (XCP).  Here is a list of the exposed addresses in alphabetic order.  Most keys were exposed very recently, i.e., in the last week.

If you own one of the following addresses, you should transfer the money to a fresh address (before someone else does it for you).  Also figure out, which client has the bug that revealed the private key by reusing R values.  Then notify the author of that tool.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I did indeed use Counterwallet with this address. It never even occurred to me that that could be the problem. I'm now applying for reimbursement. 
And you should very well receive it.
1017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why isnt Bitcoin a PGP network like Bitmessage? on: April 21, 2014, 10:00:48 PM
If people are willing to pay the miners fee, they should be able to send an encrypted message via the blockchain.

Typical use case: I advertise a pair of Alpaca socks on facebook for 5 mBTC by posting a picture of those socks and adding my Public Key.
The client can now use the Bitcoin network to transmit money, but how does he transmit his shipping info? He could use Facebook (or the medium that the merchant advertises his product on) but that would require that service to support this function and be able to track that data, furthermore those backends are not interchangeable, reducing the purchase experience (I frequently see a product I ike on a website and buy it off amazon for just cause they have my payment and shipping info). I propose that we allow the customer to send the merchant his shipping info via the blockchain in an encrypted manner
And now you introduced more bloat into the blockchain, good job.
1018  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.855 BTC for 180GH/s on: April 21, 2014, 08:34:34 PM

Where else can you break even on an investment and start making a return in 3 months is the way I see it.

Btw - that's an impressive amount of miners you have. I estimate between $250k to $300k for all that...
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Sure, 1l1l11ll1l might have worked for the money, but I don't like when people boast how much money they have, considering most of us are dirt poor.
1019  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is "folding proteins at home" a good comparison to "mining" on: April 21, 2014, 06:43:50 PM
The two things are very different things, very. Folding@Home folds proteins and helps humanity, mining is bruteforcing SHA256 hashes which benefit just the Bitcoin network and nothing else, everything else is wasted energy.
1020  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Would it be possible to reestablish the decimal value of a bitcoin? on: April 21, 2014, 11:13:34 AM
I've read around that one of the reasons for bitcoin's slow adoption is the psychological factor of having "just a few bitcoins."

That's silly.  That's like saying there is a psychological factor of having "just a few thousand dollars".  Anyone who feels that way, isn't capable of logic and reason.  As such, they wouldn't contribute much to the economy anyhow.  Eventually, when all they can have is "just a few micro-bitcoin, they may finally see reality and come around.
Sorry, I agree with OP. I came around when having a few full Bitcoins was normal, now I have just 3. Would it be better if I had just 0.30 instead of 1 that is worth $497(as of right now)?
