Blockchain.com is the company website - their blog and such is on that domain. They also signed a deal (gone bad?) to manage Bitcoin.com - http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-info-acquires-bitcoin-com-domain-name/
Bitcoin.com is now in dispute between Roger Ver and OK Coin. They had an agreement that OK Coin supposedly broke. Roger Ver owns the domain.
10182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Ever Take Out a Loan in Bitcoin? on: June 09, 2015, 10:26:07 PM
I don't like taking loans, but I would consider giving out loans. I have not loaned on this forum before, but I have loaned on bitlendingclub before (it's like BTC Jam). I have loaned out successfully there before, and I was only scammed once, and only for a very small amount.
10183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blocksize growth: Extrapolation attempts on: June 09, 2015, 10:23:30 PM
Well, based on your extrapolations, it looks like we are going to need a block size increase in about a year and a half. The 20 MB limit won't be reached for another 20-ish years hopefully, and that should be ample time to find a new solution that scales better.

I can think of so many things that could go wrong. You're giving out your password to a bunch of random people, whats to say that they don't a) change it, b) steal it and try to hack into all your accounts, c) change payout addresses for campaigns, d) spam the forum, e) get your account banned.
10185  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Prepaid Visa Card on: June 08, 2015, 12:02:31 AM
You could try www.giftcarddrainer.com. I've used them before and it works, but there are a lot of fees. You could also try finding someone on localbitcoins.
10186  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mechanical Turk + Signature campaign? on: June 07, 2015, 11:45:13 PM
Since Mechanical Turk requires you to pay, I feel like it would cost more for that than the sig campaign could pay out.

I opened that link and put up a random password and random account name, on doing so, that particular profile opened and my account was already logged in. So he got my account password? Just to be safe, I changed the password.
He did not. It just redirects you back to the actual profile in the actual forum. In fact, you can do this without entering anything.

Anytime you leave your miner off, you will run into the same error because of some time drift for some reason. To fix it, you must restart the nodes and the miner.

if I comment the following two lines in main.cpp, what will happen? Thanks

//if (GetBlockTime() > FutureDrift((int64_t)vtx[0].nTime))
//        return DoS(50, error("CheckBlock() : coinbase timestamp is too early"));
You would become vulnerable to a timejacking attack described here: http://culubas.blogspot.ca/2011/05/timejacking-bitcoin_802.html

What is your node's ip? I'm going to try to connect to you. Also see if your node is connected to the network by checking getaddr.bitnodes.io
10191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin QT is extremely difficult to get working, prohibitive to Bitcoin users on: June 07, 2015, 06:48:54 PM
The problem here is that it seems that Core thinks that all of the nodes that it has connected are misbehaving. It calculated their banscore, and that is greater than the threshold set, so it automatically disconnects. It looks like it might not be connecting to any nodes because of this. Open help > debug window and tell us what you see next to "Number of connections" I think it is stuck at 28 weeks because that was the most recent block that the bootstrap.dat file had.
10192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin QT is extremely difficult to get working, prohibitive to Bitcoin users on: June 07, 2015, 06:13:18 PM
I actually did that yesterday, downloaded the 21 GB torrent and put it in that folder. For some reason Bitcoin QT keeps renaming it as bootstrap.dat.old, which makes me think it's not using it.
It does that once it is done using it. The bootstrap file is not up to date with the rest of the network. It is in fact quite behind it. If you are using the latest version of Bitcoin Core, the bootstrap.dat file is not necessary.

It would help us diagnose the issue if you could post your debug.log.

So, ya have to buy a gift card first, and ya pay for the gift card with bitcoins?

What if I want to buy a $600 to $1000 item, is there a gift card for that much,
or would I have to buy a bunch of $100 dollar gift cards?
The largest gift card you can buy is $500.
10194  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Increase the network speed vs block size without a fork - Posible ? on: June 07, 2015, 05:48:07 PM
I think most software rely on a clock and if you trick the clock 10 minutes runs faster it might work without changing the protocol, but the miners must agree on the speed.

I might be wrong but maybe it's worth considering


Best Regards
The mining is not based on the clock, it is based on the difficulty. The difficulty is based upon the amount of time it took to generate 2016 blocks, and the target is to have blocks be created around every 10 minutes. The calculation is some thing hard coded into the protocol. Changing the calculation might require a hard fork because some miners would calculate the difficulty differently and generate possibly invalid blocks.

Are you going to offer vouch copies to trusted members of the community to see whether the guides are legit or not?
10196  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Increase the network speed vs block size without a fork - Posible ? on: June 07, 2015, 05:22:21 PM
Is it posible to make every block faster then 10 minutes without forking bitcoin ?

If posible how would that work out ?


Best Regards
It is not possible without forking Bitcoin. Such a change is a change to the protocol, which requires a hard fork.
10197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin QT is extremely difficult to get working, prohibitive to Bitcoin users on: June 07, 2015, 05:06:37 PM
try reinstalling Bitcoin Core. Also, post your Debug.log here. In my experience, Bitcoin Core is very easy to use, it just takes a while to download and sync everything.

This should be moved to the Technical Support forum.

I'll do this one more time since you all don't read posted links.

Quote
"Bitcoin transaction privacy is really complicated," Gaven Andresen, chief scientist with the Bitcoin Foundation, previously told Wired.com. "If you want to be sure that your transactions are going to be private, then you probably need to hire a cryptography PhD to analyse your system."

There are many Gift Cards that act like Debit cards online that do not require a SSN, address or any identification to purchase. I buy them at my local grocery store all the time. Fully anonymous cards. Cash is fully anonymous if you're dealing with someone in person. You can take cash and hand it to anyone without them knowing anything about you.


I clicked on that link and read about it. In order to find out who is behind what addresses, a significant amount of time and effort is required to go through several months of passive analysis to find patterns to identify a person. Gift Cards on the other hand, although they can be bought anonymously, in order to use them online like Bitcoin, must have a name, address, and sometimes phone number associated with them. You must include the Billing Address in a Gift Card transaction in order to use it. It is much easier to ask a store and ask for their database of transactions and search for a name or address or gift card number than it is to sift through months of data to identify patterns that may not even exist.

That's pretty cool. Do we need to sign up, or can we just text a certain number to get the information?
10200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Show coins in each wallet? on: June 07, 2015, 01:03:49 AM
The problem with listunspent is that it doesn't show how much coin is held by each address, it only shows the unspent outputs that the wallet can spend from. I think that the OP is looking for a modification/client that will just show him how much he can spend from each address.
