Your "threadcrap fine" is a terrible way to deter "threadcraping". All it does is force the user to create a sockpuppet, spam a few posts, and wait 24 hours (for the newbie restrictions to expire). Then he can "threadcrap" with impunity. Institute threadcrap fine/sticky for Marketplace & child boards
But "threadcrap" is allowed in the marketplace last time I checked. You're getting ahead of yourself by suggesting to impose fines. A user just acknowledged and violated this anyway on one of those threads, and was consequently negrated with screenshot. It's as if people think they can commit any act of aggression whatsoever on the internet and get away with it, and act like everyone else are assholes for trying to do business in peace, not wanting flaming bags of crap left on their virtual storefront doorsteps. I don't see threadcrap ever slowing down unless the forum adopts a variant of this rule and stickies it on the Marketplace boards.
To be fair, you cannot prove that the poster read, comprehend and agreed to the message. Your warning is a flimsier version of "I agree" clickwrap agreements. Also, for the situation you mentioned, you could have very well reported the post to a moderator. The post was clearly off topic. There was no need to take the laws into your own hands, issue "fines" to people, and give people negative trust. |

It's all rigged. These btc gambling sites are just used for money laundering.
Explain? 2 scenarios: a) Just-Dice is using their own funds to bet on their own site. Regardless of outcome, there is no net gain/loss. However, this generates artificial activity which can be used for publicity (like this thread), or to make the site look more popular. b) Just-Dice's owner runs a covert money laundering service. "Dirty" money comes into the site in the form of bets, "clean" money comes out in the form of the site's margin. This is assuming the site's bets can not be audited. |

Ok, thanks for the feedback r3wt. I don't know if you're a moderator here. But now I understand that tradefortress and powerful people on this site can use the marketplace trust system to abuse people who they hold a grudge against for actions unrelated to bitcointalk. welcome to the internet |

What do you know, my speculation was right!  what I would like to know is how you linked those account names on coinchat to this username on bitcointalk
Hi tspacepilot aka wikib0t aka testycat aka newman aka manny on Coinchat,
He didn't link those names to any bitcointalk account names. Quit jumping to conclusions. I know you have used an exploit in the past to access the forum admin panel ....
Red herring  |

Wow nice, just out of curiosity how much did you make from being in a pool and not solo
look at the console output: Connected to mmpool.bitparking.com |

I *did* use coinchat a few months ago and I was banned by "admin". We exchanged some emails in which I asked him what I had done to be banned and I didn't ever get a detailed response. He said I owed him 0.2BTC if I wanted to be reinstated on coinchat. I asked him several times where he came up with that number and what I had done wrong. Each time, however, he just replied tersely about some sort of fraud and paying him back.
The best guess I have at what he was angry about is that I was experimenting with robots on his site using the api the he published (and I as I understood it) he encouraged us to use. I enjoyed coinchat and I learned a lot about node.js while I was experimenting there. I was sad to get kicked off because I had a lot of fun chatting there and gambling on the various robots. What I can't understand is how a site that gives money for chatting is going to cry 'fraud' when I took money for chatting. I mean, the site gave me money and I cashed it out using the site's system. How on earth is that fraudulent? Another thing I can't understand is how the 0.2 he asked me for (and I'm still not sure where he got that number) has now inflated to 1.5BTC.
Tradefortress is probably mad because you made a bot that was spamming to get rewards. I believe there was a reward program based on how many lines you typed. This is speculation of course. If you can disclose the emails from Tradefortress (publicly or privately), I can get a better picture. |

+1 to our moderators for diligently cleaning the forum. Does moderators has salaries?
Does this count as off-topic? What is considered a bump for the 24h per bump rule? I understand just saying "bump" would count, but if you post something like "I am lowering the price to x btc" twelve hours after your OP, does that break the rule? It's discretion of the moderator. If it looks like the "update" was purely for bumping, then it will be deleted. |
|
|
|
Yeah, I had about 3 of my bumps deleted, all bumps of which were more than 24 hours apart, some probably closer to 72 hours apart, and 3 pages behind the 1st. Kinda pointless.
I don't see the issue here unless the last "bump" was deleted. All other "bump" posts have 0 value and there's no reason to keep them. |

Itrader is a vbulletin addon, i don't know if simple machines has the same add on.
itrader certainly isn't for SMF. |

Tradefortress' comment was "spammer, defrauded coinchat". Were you using coinchat in the last few months? If so, what were you doing on it? Just discovered that his complaint about me says he risked 1.5BTC. This is an out and out lie. I have never had any trade deals with tradefortress and I challenge him to produce the slightest evidence that we ever had any deal. I cannot understand why he is lying about me in this way.
FWIW, I can show on the blockchain that I only own about 1.1BTC and that most of that came from Dragon's Tale casino and sealswithclubs.
Wish I could do something to erase or challenge this attack on my integrity. Is there no moderation system for this sort of thing?
see: Risked BTC amount is money that the person could have stolen or did steal. For example, if you do a currency trade where the other person sends first, your feedback for them would have 0 risked BTC and their feedback for you would have risked BTC equal to the BTC value of the trade. |

Should I be concerned about my bitcoin client growing overly large because of generating 1-1000 addresses each day? (as a service, not personally)
Only if you're noticing slowdowns. If you don't notice anything, don't worry about it. |

I'm not up to date with recent online wallet developments, but suspect they may not support the internal no-fee coin moves between wallet accounts that is crucial to us. Or do some?
You can use the "accounts" system which is built into bitcoind. Using that, you can query each account's balance before executing the command. Alternately, you can that keeps track of each user's balance in a separate database. In both situations, you'll need to write a custom RPC proxy. |

It's probably because Mandrik isn't a blockchain.info representative. From his post history, there is nothing to indicate that he is a support personnel for any site.
I've only been with Blockchain.info for a couple weeks, so yeah. My post history isn't going to show it. It's much easier for me to keep track of issues via our ticketing system, but I still want to keep an eye on Reddit & the forums. I'm hoping to get some more information on your issue very soon. Again, sorry for the delays. Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry for any false accusations. |

Do we need to write an RPC proxy "balance limiter" from scratch, or does there exist any such mediator software publicly or privately available?
As far as I know, such a proxy does not publicly exist. Note we cannot use the web wallets as access to our own bitcoind is required.
Can't you use a online wallet for handling transactions, and a bitcoind to get network info? What are you doing that requires bitcoind access? |

Wow attacked over something that is not my fault. I changed the miners fee on the blockchain.info side. Lets see if it will work but, I really don't appreciate the smart ass comments from you mouth breathers. Im just trying to send some BTC. I followed the directions and it didn't work. How is that my fault? BTC is not a perfect way of transfering money or coin or whatever the heck you want to call it. Cheap well sorry we don't all have stacks of BTC to brag about. Im just pointing out fatal flaws and errors about this "Best thing since sliced bread" attitude towards this coin. Bitcoin WILL be replaced by a more advanced and trustworthy coin. Attack me all you want. I always have the last laugh.
No, you're being attacked because you are ignoring what everyone is telling you. You're sending too small amounts with too little transaction fees. Bitcoin is not designed for microtransactions. Your transaction is not going to get included because there are other transactions competing for the same blockchain space. Other transactions which have 10x more fees than you, and transact thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins. Here's the solution: pay more fees, as in 0.001 BTC per kB. Don't like the fees? Use a third party payment service like inputs.io. I agree that the user experience around sending small amounts is poor. Also, it can be poor in bitcoin-qt for larger amounts when some coin gets sent while offline (wifi disconnected or whatever), and then afterward you re-connect, and there is no way to tell it to retry, no indicator of when it will next auto-retry, etc. Pretty painful when you are on the phone with the person waiting for payment.
It seems to me that there should be UI for manual retries and cancelling failed spends.
( Cancelling a failed/limbo spend can be done manually via sophisticated wallet hacking. Thus, it could be done via a nice button in the UI as well. )
Alt-coin devs: If bitcoin never implements these types of improvements, then it may be an area for your coin to shine.
bitcoin developers do this on their own time. Talk is cheap. Write the code yourself or pay other developers to write the code. |

trying to download blockchain using DSL modem. Speedtest.net says 2.77 Mbps download speed.
is this why i'm not getting any connections or something else?
windows 7, 3.5GB RAM, UPnP enabled
try disabling any firewalls or internet restriction software on your computer, also try enabling DMZ on your router. |
