10381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hardfork = Mitosis on: October 06, 2016, 01:14:32 PM
All coins are flawed some way, but the question is, what kind of flaw it has?
Well, technically all coins aren't 'garbage' (seems the user used two adjectives). I'd say that most of them are garbage, and that a fair number runs on outdated/insecure codebase.

For bitcoin, the worst case scenario is this scaling problem.
It's really just a matter of time before these boundaries get pushed.

hard fork(eth: --oppose-dao-fork) = intentional split = mitosis
consensus change = majority upgrade = gene therapy

What's up with so many analogies recently regarding hard forks?

Lauda, if you would kindly remove the series 1 litecoin my ocd would appreciate it.  
I had actually forgotten about it. Now that you've mentioned it, I do recall you telling me to reserve it. I've delisted it now.

Thanks! Will be coughing the btc up to mj tonight for it.

do you promoted automatically by admin?
Usually you're offered the position by the admin

or you request or apply for this position?
If you're doing that, you're likely doing it wrong (potentially excluding local sections).

people are very lucky who get this position from admin by their own decision.
It's usually a thankless job.

Confirmed and ticket updated. Thank you.

That nice set of Ometeotl coins wouldn't happen to be funded as a little bonus would they  Wink

Edit: what number are the Ometeotl coins? In the pic they have number 008 on them but in the second prize description it's says #33, what am i missing here?
The pictures of the Ometeotl set and Goxxed coins are exemplary (as stated in post), as I didn't want to bother Mitchell at the time to take a picture of mine (since they're untouched anyways). The correct numbers are the ones stated in the prizes, so #33 for Ometeotl and #84 for Goxxed coins.

I am only listing 4 accounts to start, I will add more to this at some point.

Would you let me know your thoughts or actions please.
After quickly looking at the accounts I can say that their behavior and posts seem to be similar. Cyrus is likely the only one who can confirm whether they truly are connected or not, although I'd say that they are. I obviously can't take any actions myself, but they deserve a permanent ban on sight. I can only take action against such newbies and I did find a decent group today.

My complete list of farmed accounts is on the previous page, big long list over 300 accounts, you cant miss it! I update it from time to time, and move it forward.
I've looked around the thread, but wasn't sure whether all information was in a singular post.

recomended fees is always change for everytime? Huh the current rec fees is 70 sathosi/byte, but should this fees is change for every time?
Like the another thread.
Of course they do. Primarily it comes down to what fees people are including and the amount of transactions that are unconfirmed.

I really think it's just a typo, 0.008 BTC fees is just ridiculous. I use blockchain.info daily and have never encountered such high fees.
It comes down how you look at it. Would you say a ~$5 fee is ridiculous for transferring a few million?

0.0008 BTC on the other hand is happening more frequently, but you can change it with 'advanced send'.
This is very cheap IMO.
10391  Other / Meta / Re: Revamping the rank system. Again on: October 05, 2016, 10:20:44 AM
Ultimately, I will accept whatever it should be called provided this proposal gets accepted at all
You are right about that, and it doesn't matter much. I just wanted to point it out because it may make some people think you're suggested an instant jump (in case they don't read all the posts in the thread).

I doubt the ranking system will ever change though. But we can all hope.
If you make a compelling case and suggest a noticeable improvement over the current one, I don't see why not.

I think the current rank system is perfect and there's no need to revamp it.
Nothing is perfect, and this system is far from it.

What about increasing the time of updating the activity period from 14 days to 28 or 30 days?
No.

So what would the average fee be in satoshis per byte?
Quote
The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 60 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
Data queried at time of writing this post.

I believe all of the wallets whether it is offline or a webwallet would let the user choose how much you want to pay in transaction fees.
This is not the case.

So it would be unfair to even suggest for the OP to stop using blockchain.info.
No, it is not unfair. Any experienced Bitcoin user will tell you to stay away from online wallets.
10394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Full Nodes Does Bitcoin Need? on: October 05, 2016, 05:53:40 AM
here we go again..the doomsday dreamer not reading the point.
Having 3 genuine node operators has nothing to do with Sybil attacks. They're likely going to come afterwards with third party actors.

but in a scenario of no sybil attack ability.. 3 nodes could functionally allow the network to continue.
They could, in a optimal scenario where we are living under a rainbow.

but lauda wont accept group dominance being a technical form of sybil, because he cant take off the fanboy hat to think logically that his groups dominance has technical negatives of being the attack he is doomsdaying.
Misleading.

Should we not make "hosting a node" as easy as possible, for everyone to be able to run a node? The more nodes we have, the stronger the decentralization.
I'd like to see a user-friendly, node-only client that is as secure as Bitcoin Core. We could surely diversify the network with such a client. I don't need the wallet functionality on mine (I did disable it).
10395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Confirmation Time..? on: October 05, 2016, 05:50:28 AM

This has nothing to do with the miners, ergo they are not getting greedy. Please don't post misleading information.

Hello!
Okay so I had to do a few transactions from my Blockchain wallet to some other wallets, and I have a question: as soon as I send an amount of money, it requires me to send a fee of 0.008BTC. Is this even normal?
1) Stop using such a stupid wallet.
2) The fee is dependant on the wallet + the transaction size.
3) The fee should be displayed in satoshis/byte for accurate representation (which lets us determine whether it was too high or not.
4) Look at 1.

Could you list the other accounts so that they can be looked into?

Also I have two thoughts for this thread:
1) Could you compile all the links into one post somehow? From what I see they're spread out depending on when you find them.
2) What's up with some of those broken links starting with "#ttps"?

The ranks should just follow the existing pattern of doubling the activity each time. Legendary should be made achievable at 960 then the next rank at 1920 and so on.
I see this problematic in the long run as you end up having a lot of people labeled in a specific rank that is supposed to be *rare*, e.g. legendary (note: How long this is going to take is debatable).

Soon most of us will be legendaries.
No, the word soon is wrong here. I've seen a lot of people state this, and yet it isn't even close to happening.

Please note that I'm talking only about increasing the activity levels required for reaching the next rank, not about the activity itself, which will get increased as per usual, i.e. every two weeks by 14 points
Progressively increasing the activity levels would probably be a more accurate description of what you're suggesting.

users should be VETERAN  this rank must be given based on the activity level as well as a voting system between the admin or the staff members and make a bench mark which cannot be gained easily to this user class, how about this suggestion folks.
Staff votes on Veteran rank for user X -> User X scams group of people Y -> Group of people Y blame staff for promoting user X. No thanks.
10400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Unknown] Attack on the Network in Progress on: October 04, 2016, 08:29:08 PM
this is a primary setting that all users (not advanced, but those who read wiki) must use because this setting can limit the amount of bandwidth (in upload) on the node .

this setting is a good point to allow a limited inrush demand but to cut the perpetual demand of the Bitcoin network.
I disagree that this is the optimal settings for limiting bandwidth in a node. I've found that the average number of connections does not directly correlate with the amount of bandwidth that will be spent in a given month (e.g. month with average 40-60 vs. month with average 20-40 = marginal difference). I think I haven't limited by node connection-wise (default is 125 I believe), but have placed a software based upload speed limit. I think a better way of limiting is just using:
Quote
-maxuploadtarget=<MiB per day>
Even this isn't a fixed limit, although it should reduce the consumption once it has been met.
