So... who's excited about doing either a little wxWidgets programming or a lot of "port the bitcoin GUI to Qt" programming?
This isn't going to happen unless somebody actually does it...
So I made this, http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3451.0Where are all my bitches? Or does it need to be ported to C++? Supports internationalisation and everything. I just need to add a screen for downloading the block chain and a settings window (have been a little busy with other projects last 2 weeks).   |

Would use INT128 so it can be claimed that Bitcoin is 'infinitely divisible' (well that's near enough for most people) as a selling point.
Right now saying it's 8 decimals divisible isn't so catchy.

You are the leech. In evolutionary studies there's something called the ESS (evolutionary stable strategy). You make a population with 2 types- cooperate and defect. To co-operate is mutually unbeneficial but good for the group. Defect is opposite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionarily_stable_strategyYou make a payoff matrix and generate simulations. Generally populations full of defect will die out or swing towards the ESS. Populations full of co-operate are sustainable until invaded by individuals of defect, at which point they swing towards the ESS. The ESS is the stable ratio of cooperate : defect individuals. Nearly always the ESS is majority co-operate and minority defect. So if you're one person taking advantage of everybody else's co-operate attitude for yourself, then you are the leech. Like a person draining bittorrent downloads. Society is a live support system. Without it you'd be nothing. We've come to rely on it for everything- that's why we're able to do amazing things. Selection happens at some level on groups. Unhealthy tribes would have gone extinct in the past. Which tribes would be more successful? Those that mutually helped their fellow men during times of hard stress, or those that didn't? Even early Homo Erectus have been found with fatal injuries that have healed, indicating they were taken care of for a substantial number of years. It's egregious to claim that humans aren't a social species. But there's no point quoting science anyway. You've chosen your religion of Rand, and nothing I say will make you question your faith. |

From East to West... from North to South... from Developed to Undeveloped... a thousand conduits whisper before we say a word.
Light speed pulses. Infinite. Infinitesimal. Our world is shrinking.
I speak, it's gone. I die, it dies with me. I transmit, it lives forever.
Curling humans through space, to turbid worlds. Old stories, new futures. A butterfly flaps forever: it's only a day.
Past days are gone. Forget those damp brown days.
Our future has colour, life, speed. Our future has more.
The potential is within us. It always has been.

Should wallet encryption be done using GPG or RSA + AES?
With RSA + AES you'd still have to store the private key somewhere. My inclination would be to store them inside the wallet but now that means you're only protected by a password.

A page of bad writing. What is there to comment? Glancing the page, I see numerous grammar mistakes.
Read 'Elements of Style' and practice your copy-editing skills on Wikipedia. Then come back with at least a chapter of good writing. Writing isn't easy but you haven't written much.
Bear in mind that people here don't read fiction.

I hardly think Assange is anything of a cypherpunk. He could easily have set up wikileaks as a .onion or .i2p rvice and done things that way. Hardly anything cryptography related. His big thing has mostly been about publicity, that is brining publicity to the leaks.
Nothing to do with cypherpunk here. By the way I havn't read the link.
You do know that Julian Assange is the original developer of nmap? Here's what he wrote for another tool: Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot, and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html forms, placing these wonders where they belong; deep in unix heartland, as god-loving extensions to the shell. Also on his hacker past: It's a bit annoying, actually. Because I co-wrote a book about [being a hacker], there are documentaries about that, people talk about that a lot. They can cut and paste. But that was 20 years ago. It's very annoying to see modern day articles calling me a computer hacker. I'm not ashamed of it, I'm quite proud of it. But I understand the reason they suggest I'm a computer hacker now. There's a very specific reason. He's basically saying I'm a proud hacker but more than a cracker. |

If forum becomes moderated, I leave.
It's bad enough you have rules for the marketplace.
I bet the majority of people voting for regulation are Americans. Americans don't represent all the countries.

Do they honestly believe the whole internet to upgrade to a non-backwards compatible address?
The whole Internet will upgrade. IPv4 is reaching its end of useful life. End of story. Or ISPs will just migrate us more and more behind NATs killing peering & bittorrent and making us back into consumers. |

thank you. Removing that header is a good idea. I remember posting Bitcoin somewhere and that was the first thing people remarked about.

Why did they choose such a format?
Why not free a top level IP (e.g 200 as an example) and then whenever that byte is selected, you can have variable length fields:
200.num_of_bytes.89.123.42.76.43.108.2
Or change each each number field to a 64 bit int.
7843843.9084394.12333232.89
Therefore since some sites need IP addresses, ISPs and router manufacturers would lose out by not providing access to those addresses. ipv6 is ridiculous made by academics. Do they honestly believe the whole internet to upgrade to a non-backwards compatible address?

I think the amount he's offering is just a bonus for people who want to make happen a Bitcoin exchange. After all they are releasing the code for free, and many work on free software projects for free.

its called OpenID
Supported by Google, Facebook, Yahoo, ...
Open Id is far from simple. OpenID is a piece of piss to integrate into a website. Not too hard to use either. |

haha this gets more ridiculous by the minute.
