Joozero I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you..  I noticed that the performance with the windows client seems slower than the other two I built.. I'm not sure if this is because of a mistake I made or something I overlooked in the code but I will take another look and let you know if I find anything.  Maybe there is something else wrong with it besides just the performance..

Joozero, what is the problem with it?  I use that binary myself and it works for me.

I would be willing to pay a combination of bitcoins and USD for used Canon compatible photo equipment.. lenses and filters and such.  If anyone is looking to sell this kind of stuff let me know.

Thanks,
Laszlo

Is this really true for modern web browsers, or would the web page have to be loaded from localhost as well?  Can you make an HTTP call from javascript to the localhost if the page was loaded from an internet host?

I run an IRC server you can use, it's fairly stable but it's not on redundant connections or anything.  It is only two servers right now but we don't mess with it or anything, it just runs.

My box is a dedicated irc server:
 2:28PM  up 838 days, 20:54, 1 user, load averages: 0.06, 0.08, 0.08

You can use irc.lfnet.org to connect.

I hang out on #linuxos if anyone wants to drop in.

He's giving it away, it's an honor system, so don't take more than you need

This is an open offer by the way.. I will trade 10,000 BTC for 2 of these pizzas any time as long as I have the funds (I usually have plenty).  If anyone is interested please let me know.  The exchange is favorable for anyone who does it because the 2 pizzas are only about 25 dollars total, maybe 30 if you give the guy a nice tip.  If you get me the upgraded extra large ones or something, I can throw in some more bitcoins, just let me know and we'll work something out.

My 1 year old daughter really enjoys pizza too!  She just smears it all over her face if you give her a whole slice, but she does eventually manage to get most of it in her mouth (minus a few loose toppings of course).

Thanks!

Please note that I'm not the Bitcoin author - if you don't trust me then don't use these.  I have written instructions that should get you started if you want to build your own (look around at my other posts).

Some unofficial builds that I created:

Mac OS X, Linux (64 bit) and Win32 builds available

http://heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/builds/


This includes a tiny patch I added to show how many hashes per second are being processed.  A picture of the hash counter is attached.

If you want the patch so you can build it yourself it is available here:

What do you imagine the iPhone app doing?  Just looking for some ideas on how it should look and what it should do..

Awesome!

I don't think you can do that with iptables.. is there some module that lets you match a locally generated packet against the UID of a process?

If you give me some bitcoins I'll give you a bucket and a spoon and you can go scoop up your own oil in the Gulf!  As much as you can carry!

I wonder why they're able to get away with that stuff, aren't there groups like the ACLU and the NRA and such that are trying to protect people's liberties anymore?  I guess with all the anti-terrorism (witchcraft?) laws on the books these days, the government agencies are above any law or form of control.

If something doesn't stick, or they get called out on being like the gestapo, they can just pull the terrorism/national security card and they can do whatever while people cheer them on.

The software doesn't know anything about idle time, but it changes the generating thread's priority to be low.  This should cause the operating system to schedule it whenever a higher priority item is pending.  The result is that when your computer is idle, in between higher priority processing becoming runnable, bitcoin becomes runnable and so all the CPUs are always at 100%.

The destination address and amount that is sent is visible to every node on the network (the UI just doesn't have a tab right now for viewing it, it filters down to only your own addresses).

One time addresses don't use any resources but they are good from the regard that it's not possible to find out how much money you have unless you make public all the addresses that you have keys for.  Some people might not care about it, but if it's common practice to re-use addresses and maybe some commonly used web framework is implemented in this way, it makes it trivial to profile the network as a whole and figure out who is receiving how much money, thus undermining one of the primary goals of the bitcoin network.

I'm working on something like that, for iPhone, but not really for generating, more for spending.. the problem is it's really hard to type in a bitcoin address on that little thing.

So when/where can I place an order?

It doesn't mean anything - it stays unconfirmed for the first 5 then it just says blocks I think.  The number is how many confirmations it's gotten.  I guess the idea is that the more confirmations, the more likely it is a 'legit' transaction according to other nodes, so the more likely you are to be able to spend those bitcoins later.

Sounds interesting.. but the US government has endless resources and nothing to stop them from doing things they're not supposed to.. I think if it's high profile enough you would still get busted somehow, something you didn't think of.  If you're always shipping them from the same post office they might figure it out..
