I often enough had to send with 0.20$, which is less than half of the minimum paypal fee and clearly it goes in this direction.
Don't blame the Bitcoin network for creating large transactions. This is why fees are measured in satoshi/byte. There is no fixed fee.

[1] I'm really not sure about the effect of segwit since the effects that are hoped on are [2]mostly calculated with a way higher amount of multisig transactions, as far as I remind correctly.
[1] If you aren't sure, then stop spreading misinformation? [2] Wrong. While I can't find the exact link from the mailing list, we are looking at ~190-200% in realistic usage.

I'm really not sure that we can build on this. Of course even when it not brings nearly to 50$, every 10% is a nice thing. Only the big question is if it really will help avoiding full blocks.
Whatever exactly 'build on this' is supposed to mean, the answer is yes to both sentences.

And segwit... as far as I learned about it... I don't see a usecase for me and I doubt many other users have.  If one has as much coins to block it in some payment channel then ok, possible LN user.
You start complaining about 'not seeing use-cases for Segwit' and then continue talking about LN users? That does not make sense. A Segwit use-case is LN.

But most users have the amount for one payment, that's it. So the LN effect won't be high too. Besides that... LN is not really a loved thing.
Do you keep coins in your wallet? If you do, then your argument has no merit.

You were lucky that you sent at a time without overload though there are times at a day when it does not work except you pay fees that more and more look like paypal fees.
Bullshit. The fees are not unusually high, and nowhere near the maximum that we've experienced. They're currently at: 40 satoshis/byte [1]. For a TX of 226 bytes that is 4 cents. Quite like paypal, indeed. Roll Eyes

I welcome segwit but it surely can't bring the huge effect as fast as needed. Well, maybe it will surprise.
It will be fine.

How would IP bans help against proxies and VPNs?
IP bans might only work against average users that are not tech savy, otherwise it does not do much. As a example: We've nuked several thousands accounts of both that KNC and Speculation-section spammer and yet they keep coming back.
12125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suddenly my peer list is full of classic nodes. on: May 08, 2016, 01:31:48 PM
I have been banning them but for some reason they return to my list after a minute or so.
That should not be happening. For how long do you ban them (there are a few options)?

Weird thing is that nearly all Classic nodes seem to be hosted from one place or hosting company.
That is well known. The majority of them are located in data centers (e.g. Amazon).
12126  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suddenly my peer list is full of classic nodes. on: May 08, 2016, 01:16:28 PM
There's no need to ban or worry if they split off to a different chain.  
I never said that there is a need to ban them.  

You program the rules that your node accepts as valid, and blocks and transactions which break those rules are considered invalid.
Correct.

Banning nodes you don't like is even more silly.
It really isn't. It all comes down to whether you want your node to have interactions with controversial implementations or not. In either case, one is free to ban any node that they want.

Hello.
I'm looking with help with Java in regards to Graph implementations. Payments are very flexible and depends on the work. All payments will be made in Bitcoin. Post here or PM me if interested.
12128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suddenly my peer list is full of classic nodes. on: May 08, 2016, 09:18:31 AM
After reading this, then looking at my peer list, I have a question: are the classic nodes a bad thing or good thing?  Should I be concerned?  Would my client be more efficient or something if the classic nodes were not represented in my peer list?  What is the general consensus of the forum?  Are classic nodes a bad thing, a good thing, or just irrelevant?
Nobody bothers to do that kind of 'analysis', which is pretty much pointless. Those nodes are currently operating within the same chain so should not be causing problems (under normal circumstances). You don't have to worry about it. If you're running a node you can ban them for 1 year very simply.

I like OgNasty's proposal, although I do agree with others that 2BTC is a fairly high barrier. With my current sig campaign, that would take me 20 months to earn. I think something between 0.75 to 1BTC is more reasonable and more attainable.
Wrong. The more you lower the amount, the more spammers you are letting through. As a normal user that tries to engage in discussions and help others, you don't need a signature (if you can't pay for it).

Only in Bitcoinland do people complain about a 20 month ROI.  Rest assured that signature campaigns would have to pay more.
Exactly. There should be no ROI at all.
12136  Other / Meta / Re: Account Farmers are the new Ponzis on: May 07, 2016, 11:40:39 PM
Okay so what I see happening:
  • The value of accounts and the number of sales drastically drops due to no incentive and way to ROI on bought accounts.
  • 99% of Signature campaigns disappearing.
  • Value boost for accounts with Signatures (Supporters), and campaigns for them.
  • Drastic spam reduction

Reasoning per point:
  • Accounts have higher values due to potential ROI and profit; joining signature campaigns is the top incentive to engage in account sales
  • Simple, as there would barely be any users that have Signatures or want that participate (as a portion of those that have don't want to promote other services)
  • This is obvious as there would still be a small percentage of potential spam
  • Multiple reasons; unable to wear a signature, unable to join a signature campaign; spamming becomes risky (risking 2+ BTC).
