https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contingency_plans
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alerts

a secure information channel over which merchants/exchanges could be informed so that they can (automatically) suspend accepting Bitcoin payments for the time of the attack

They can poll getinfo.errors to receive alerts. If there are any alerts, then the network is almost certainly broken. Alerts will only ever be sent for very serious issues.

Is it possible to pull error messages/alerts from RPC or out side the Bitcoin network?
I'd like to have a website where people can go to check up on the alerts?

TL:DR

Sounds like OP wants to do something fishy but I'm not accusing him of anything.. Keyword "sounds like"

Either way hoarding will provide more value to bitcoin however... the problem is there is nothing to spend that value until you convert to fiat.



So I will say this

LESS SPECULATION MORE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES!!!!

I just noticed that PHP will correctly round my example to 87.1 BTC along with the other one... however this was just an example of what I have found I can't find which product is showing these anomalies to use correct values for the example.. but basically my example should show you wants going on...

If you want to clip decimals, a good method to use is:

$foo = "8.91232323234223";
echo bcadd($foo, '0', 5);  // truncates to 5 decimal places

hope that helps.

Also, you should *always* round down and absorb the cost yourself.

Well there is technically "no cost" |  transactions ultimately do math in USD format then convert to BTC for the total cost to prevent any possible problems with floats that I'm not aware of its just when you compare it to the invoice it looks like things don't add up.

Thanks for suggesting the bcadd() I'll look into that and see if it helps

Thanks for the input but I'm very aware of floating point precision flaws and I think it more has to do with rounding Bitcoins' 8 decimals and compressing them into a common format for everyone which is usually 2 decimals(also aimed at USA so I picked the 2 decimal precision)

Also on top of that all my prices are linked to USD costs not BTC so they are converted on the fly for each display for example

Product "A" costs around $250 so to show the customer the price in BTC value I gotta divide which at the current rate $3.1
Quote
$250/$3.1 = 80.645161290323 BTC
(12 decimal precision)

Obviously displaying a 12 decimal precision number will look un-attractive to buyers so I compress it to a common format of 2 decimal places which PHP outputs as
Quote
80.65


How ever a "sub-total" is never the "total" cost I have to include shippingcosts and once in a while "tax" so lets look at this example (remember my prices in my database are link in USD format)
Quote
Subtotal: $250/$3.1 = 80.645161290323 BTC
Shipping: $20/$3.1 = 6.4516129032258

Quote
Subtotal + shipping = $270
Subtotal + shipping = 87.096774193549 BTC


Check
Quote
87.096774193549 BTC * $3.1 = 270;
$270 / $3.1 = 87.096774193548 BTC


Compare Values

87.096774193549

Round 87.096774193548 BTC

Notice the extra Bitcent?
even though customers are Paying the same thing as they would be.... it just "looks" more.

Youd be suprised from the other rediculas requests and odd messages i get.... Somedays its entertaining other days its hard to stay professional when your constantly wondering if the person your talking to will start spouting off random sayings. Its comes with running a biz.... I suppose....

Been having longs talks with someone whom is a passion party consultant and seeing if they would like to allow me to resale their stuff on CheaperInBitcoins.com... Hopefully she says yes it would make things go a lot quicker then finding and reviewing reputable resellers... Wish me luck!
1592  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What to do in case of an attack on Bitcoin? on: November 04, 2011, 10:34:42 PM
Agreed.

I see you point about a some kind of massive alert system but who has the power to alert.

What kind of indicators should declare these alerts should be broadcasted....

One interesting thing I'd like to see is some how have the Bitcoin client itself detect time attacks and other vulnerabilities somehow then encode an alert codes into the block chain which each code could represent possible attack warnings but maybe 1 block is 1 too many, maybe somekind of IRC relay signal.... idk....

It is a great Idea indeed... I'm really on the fence on this one.... How can we have a wonderful global society if were cramming all the positive, forward thinking, hard working people in one area. Shouldn't we be diversifying, spreading wisdom, and free information to everyone?
1595  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What to do in case of an attack on Bitcoin? on: November 04, 2011, 09:37:45 PM
As dumb as this might sound maybe a public defense plan isn't the best plan of defense. As they will just counter your counter before you get the opportunity to counter their attacks and defend our selves.
Anyone else get that feeling that attackers will just use our own knowledge against us?

Maybe we should all educate each other amongst are selves... that way the flow of information is more distributed and impossible from any outside(or inside) influence to know the true depth of the knowledge the community has as a whole about how the blockchain and bitcoins work.

1597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Cheaper In Bitcoins | Explaination of the 0.01 Bitcent anomoly on: November 04, 2011, 12:00:11 PM
Just for the record, I realize that some product pages(usually that include shipping, tax, or sometimes additional options) might come out to 0.01 Bitcent more then what they should looking at initial values; I assure you this is not me trying to swipe 0.01BTC per order, no there is need for that and I assure you this is not a math miscalculation issue either. In fact this is a "rounding anomaly". my websites back-end processes transaction prices using USD units which would cause some rounding anomalies with the decimal limit in comparisons to Bitcoins 8 decimal precision.

Hope this makes sense to anybody whom was wondering about such issues like this......
Thanks

Because of the Great FireWall in China, you can't imagine how hard it is to connect to the Tor network.

Finally found a way , somehow i am so disappointed

There's only 5000 users registerd,
1000 pieces of goods on sale (90% are drugs),
concurrently less than 50 users online top,
and i bet less than $1k goods are sold everyday.

... Shocked



No satellite providers in china?
