Is this how it works? Just curious.
That's what it seems to be.
122  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Frog: Bitmessage for the web! on: August 10, 2013, 06:28:18 AM
what happened to your blog?
A hard drive failure. Lost all my Octopress stuff. Will recreate soon. Smiley
I'm really close to being done.
Locking because I'll make new thread when I announce it, and this one's outdated.
123  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Getting Wikipedia to accept Bitcoin donations - Community pledge on: August 09, 2013, 06:25:45 AM

From their site:
Quote
BitPay has setup a merchant account that will accept and forward donations to Wikipedia on behalf of the Bitcoin community. BitPay will automatically convert these into US dollars and deposit US dollars into Wikipedia’s bank account every day.  BitPay will offer this service at no charge to the donors or to Wikipedia.

I love this idea(s), a large sum of bitcoins would definitely help getting past the biggest objection of the amount of money donated in bitcoins is small. (which admittedly is a problem until bitcoin gets bigger.)

The only problem is the current address, I'd prefer that there be some trusted escrow address or something along those lines.
We should get John K.

Tradeaway sure has a lot of pretty interesting (in a good way) ideas.
126  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Getting Wikipedia to accept Bitcoin donations - Community pledge on: August 09, 2013, 12:42:55 AM
Wait, I have to send money to the address to pledge?

Here is the relevant info for developers: http://www.bitcointrezor.com/dev/ (like part numbers, etc.)
You're awesome.

Cheesy


I have a new favorite GIF.
129  Economy / Speculation / Re: Everyone will cash out at $1000 on: August 06, 2013, 08:42:44 PM
If it goes to $1000, it will hit $10,000 in a matter of hours. Maybe minutes

Obviously.

Wait, why would this happen? I thought people would be dumping.

How was trezor built?  (like raspberry pi, the screen, etc.)

thanks!
What do you mean by this. It was originally based on an Rpi to the best of my knowledge, using a cheap arduino display.
I then believe they made smaller custom chips for the functions they needed.
131  Other / Off-topic / PSA: Back up your Bitmessage keys. on: August 05, 2013, 05:58:58 PM
In the past week, I've had a file system failure on a small partition that contained my Bitmessage keys. I wiped it without thinking of them.
Yesterday, I was working on some RPC features, and the client thought it was in portable mode and wiped my keys again!
So remember, if you're going to be screwing around, back up that keyfile in a safe place.

My new address is in my signature. I'd appreciate some test messages.
132  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Setting up BTC-E trading bot in Excel on: August 05, 2013, 07:08:15 AM
Yeah. And I strongly recommend doing it in Python. I wrote a trading bot a long time ago, feel free to use it as an example. https://github.com/Jaxkr/Tradexkr

Also, why do you want to use excel? Why not Sqlite?
133  Other / Off-topic / Re: Crypto people on: August 05, 2013, 06:50:56 AM
You're not defeating the purpose, however it's good to have multiple sources of entropy. You can use data from /dev/random as one.
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] PETITION Primecoin listing on BTC-e on: August 05, 2013, 04:31:32 AM
+2
Seems like a good coin. I strongly support this by increasing it by 2 instead of just 1.

Difficulty is on the rise, somebody has a GPU miner.
could just be hp9 and more people mining
Yeah. The GPU miner isn't that much faster. A CPU excels at this type of math.
136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens when a coin dies? on: August 05, 2013, 12:49:03 AM
I was thinking about the hundreds of dead coins in the future and wondered...

Does a coin die when the last miner stops mining?

Is there a way to revive a coin or blockchain?

What happens if someone starts it up again with an old blockchain, and then someone with a newer blockchain starts?


Yes. When the last miner stops mining the blockchain dies. However, the coin dies until the last user disconnects from the network.
That way, if someone else comes online, they won't have any connections to nodes and won't be able to know about transactions to verify.
However, due to IRC peer discovery and some centralized features, if people start using a client again a coin can be brought back to life.
137  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: My seed on: August 02, 2013, 04:06:31 AM
That wouldn't be too smart though; if I got a hair of your body I could access all your coins.

Hair, skin cells CSI style or even saliva from a utensil I used would be enough to steal from me. So yeah not a good idea.
It's still be cool though. How about DNA + passphrase?
138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Why Primecoin Price Has Bottomed Out on: August 02, 2013, 12:02:10 AM
How deep could this thread go before someone points out that there's no use for the coin?

That's not true!
Litecoin, and other scrypt coins are absolutely useless.
Primecoin finds prime numbers, which can be useful for science. It also verifies blocks faster than SHA.
139  Economy / Goods / Re: General purpose bitcoin business cards to hand out! on: August 01, 2013, 05:27:52 AM
Bump!

I got a couple orders today. I would like to get more order!
I'm not making any money at all with this.

I just think that this card is a gr8 thing to go along with a " have you hear about bitcoin " conversation.  The hope is that giving them this card will make them remember to google bitcoin, and the impressive service listed on the back of the card, right away shows them that BTC can buy almost anything right now today! web hosting, poker,  take-out food, ect...

If these small business cards can help just a few people through the process of first learning about bitcoin then it will have been worth it for me.

0.01BTC ( to cover shipping cost ) for ~30cards.

PM me with your mailing address
PM'd. Thanks!
140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] PETITION Primecoin listing on BTC-e on: August 01, 2013, 04:33:07 AM
I sign. I like this coin.
And I dislike almost all altcoins, except for this one.
