Is this on location only, or do you have remote working positions as well?
1042  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Why is login to these forums not defaulted to HTTPS? <eom> on: July 08, 2011, 07:56:46 AM
HTTPS might increase load too much for the server to handle.
You could try it out, though. I don't think the difference will be significant. Most of the work a forum server does is not related to the network but to database I/O, and secondly PHP logic generating the pages.

Others, about the certificate: you don't need to "chip in" as there is already a proper certificate now. It was a problem of the past.
1043  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is my bitcoin client creating new addresses? on: July 08, 2011, 07:46:54 AM
EDIT : Nevermind.  I see your client is for linux... like I said in the OP, I'm running Win7
It is windows as well as linux, but it is not integrated into the mainline yet. It is still a work in progress.

What I did was competely remove the "default address" functionality, as it doesn't really do anything beyond confuse users. It now simply shows you a list of addresses on which you can receive coins.
1044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is my bitcoin client creating new addresses? on: July 08, 2011, 07:38:16 AM
It automatically creates a new address when receiving coins on your last-created address.

This is indeed very un-intuitive, and I've removed this for the new UI.

Who is the mysterious, dumb "other" group of people that suddenly panics *every* single weekend?
It's those mysterious people in the "other" mining pool, I hear they live under the stairs.

+1

I don't really understand why it still supports plaintext http at all. The only use for http servers is to redirect to https Smiley

The reason for this used to be because the forum used a self-signed certificate that produced scary warnings in some browsers. This was solved a while ago, though, and we could easily go full https.
1047  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miners and early adopters, make it rain! on: July 07, 2011, 06:35:11 PM
I also proposed this a few months ago in a topic, it was about bounties for working on the core bitcoin code.

You'd say that the initial miners/adapters would have a big stake in bitcoin succeeding, thus it would be advantageous to them to spend a few of their coins to fund development.

Bounties could be posted on implementing certain features in the client, providing clients on new platforms, for finding security bugs (like browser vendors do), and so on.

But it never really caught on. As I understand it, none of the core developers are really big holders of coins, outside of that circle there also wasn't much interest, and then there's the usual trust issues for "who will collect and deal out the bounties?".

Bye.

The discussion seems to have died out. I've bumped the thread.
Thanks!

Currently, it's possible for (receiving) addresses to not be in the address book at all. Those are considered change addresses by the wallet interface. I don't think that's exactly what you need, since deleting an address on which you've received money would confuse the user interface.
It's close, but not exactly what is needed.

Effectively, the only thing it has to do is hide the address in the UI. Internally, nothing special has to happen, and the address should still be in the address book for lookup purposes.

The current proposed wallet encryption patch will use the default address for generations, if no fresh pool key is available. I doubt it's necessary to show this in the user interface, though. It seems like a legacy way of showing people "this is the address you should use".
OK, seems it was a good idea to hide it from the user interface then.

Update:
  • CSV export of the transaction history has been implemented. Up next: address book export.

Maybe its working thinking about the Bitcoin clients converging on something like this "envelope" budgeting interface?
My take on this is somewhat different. I do not intend to include a full-blown budgeting interface, though export of data to such tools (using CSV, for example) is in the pipeline.
1051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gold has security issues too on: July 07, 2011, 07:23:04 AM
I really dont see BTC being around in 5,000-10,000-25,000-2 million years.  Do you?

Gold will be laying ,or being worn, somewhere.
Now that's long term investing Smiley

1052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pool Scamming. on: July 07, 2011, 06:57:54 AM
Yeah; basically you simply don't have the information required to submit the block for yourself.
1053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Wh on: July 07, 2011, 06:56:21 AM
But it seems like it just came out of nowhere, and if you didn't already have coins you didn't have anything. I'd love to see bitcoins scale and become more common place, but I only wish they'd be easier to get to first.
I simply bought my coins to "get in". So can everyone. Who is "left out"?

Mining is for people that don't mind having a rack of noisy, hot, power-draining servers in their living room/garage/basement.


1054  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Use Bitcoins During Login to Make Brute Force Attack Expensive to the Hacker. on: July 07, 2011, 06:49:04 AM
Any client-side puzzle will do to slow down brute-force attacks, bitcoin has no specific advantage here IMO
1055  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I'm working on a new Bitcoin application on: July 07, 2011, 06:22:49 AM
Looks nice, seems to be pretty similar in concept to what I'm working on.
1056  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So who is bitcoin *really* for? on: July 07, 2011, 06:05:56 AM
Mining is only a very small part of bitcoin, which gets way too much attention. Myself I've only mined a few days before I decided it was too much trouble. I certainly never bought a GPU specifically for it.

The real point of bitcoin, which makes it interesting and disruptive, is to make fast, low-cost and drama-free international payments possible with an distributed, open-source system.


1057  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: A message to the geeky on: July 06, 2011, 05:55:53 AM
If Paypal or VISA decide to support bitcoin payment, then of course I will use paypal to store bitcoins!
Of course, because you'll have those great advantages of Paypal back, such as reversed payments, frozen accounts, and so on Smiley

I can't wait for Paypal to support Bitcoin.
1058  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bitcoin-Qt, the future Bitcoin client GUI [user input needed] on: July 05, 2011, 09:35:48 PM
Shouldn't the Generate transactions that haven't matured yet still display the clock symbol?
Hm I agree that'd make sense... I was thinking of using different icons for that (confirmed but not matured), but that isn't really needed and probably overcomplicated Smiley

Done;

- Generated transactions don't have spam in the "Address" column anymore and show a clock depending on their maturity.

- Also I call them "mined" now instead of "generated", as that's the going word for it now:


1059  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bitcoin-Qt, the future Bitcoin client GUI [user input needed] on: July 05, 2011, 08:18:16 PM
Tab-ification of the UI, phase 1





The overview tab should have:

  • Balance (confirmed and unconfirmed)
  • Last N received transactions
  • Last N sent transactions

Also, the address book, list of received addresses etc might be better as tabs instead of dialogs as well.

Thanks everyone!

Sadly the QT SDK cannot be installed on a Windows prior to XP, and in XP I don't have the 8GB free which it needs.
You can also use MinGW+MSys on more limited systems (do qmake && make). In addition to the deps that I provide, you'll also need to get the Qt libraries/includes.

Or cross-compile from Linux but that's more involved.

I might eventually upload an executable installer directly, but this is better for now as the state of the code is still very much in flux and there are no official releases.
