I’m going somewhere with this eventually.
So you can send one coin transactions repeatedly without a fee if the amount in the wallet is large enough because effectively the client will always look for the oldest coin to avoid fees. Correct?
EDIT: Repeatedly
it also depends on how your wallet is constituted... if all those 'old' transactions are millions of 0.00000001 inputs, then you'll still get fees because of the data size (in bytes) of your transaction. edit: also, even if you had a wallet with 1000 BTC which was just ONE really old transaction... as soon as you spend 1 btc from it, the remaining 999 btc will be sent as 'change' and will no longer be an old transaction, but a really new one. |

i too am willing to forgive the profit portion if shakaru is able to settle for 1800 btc which was my original investment.

6 months @ 20 GH/s starting from about september 2011... i haven't looked at the historical data to calculate how many BTC that should have yielded, but maybe someone can help me out with that (point me to some reliable historical calculator).
my guess is approx 2500 btc but really it's a wild guess, i don't really know.
shakaru has been good about paying small amounts but it's still 99% of it owing.

Waiting 6 confirmations to get refunded might suck. Especially if its the fault of the cashier.
Lol wut I only carry a few BTC that are easily accessible from my phone. The rest are on a locked down computer or paper storage. Say I send 10 BTC to a shirt store to buy some shirts. It turns out I bought the wrong size shirt and so go to return it. They don't have the size I want and so I ask for a refund. With cash, they can just give me cash back and I can go to another store and immediately buy something. With bitcoin, if they credit my phone's wallet with the refund, I can't spend those coins at the store next door until I wait for 6 confirmations. Depending on how many coins I have in my phone's wallet, this could be a problem. Make sense? the coins can be spent after the first confirm. The 6 rule is to be sure they are deep enough so a double spend could not take them from you. You would pay the same fee with 1 or 6 confirms as the coins would have to age a little more if you wouldn't want to pay that. If they are 1 confirmation deep, I know I can spend them. In fact I think i can spend them with one no confirmations. Thats not the problem. Will a second merchant accept those coins in a transaction tho? I don't think so. Otherwise they would be opening themselves to a double spend attack (which is still unlikely) i would. because as you say, an attack is unlikely (far less likely than credit card fraud). |

Still most people aren't going to drop $10,000+ on FPGA to get the benefit you are talking about.
i'd be tempted to buy one if someone in aus decided to ship a heap of them over here in bulk and distribute. but shipping just 1 of them isn't worth the postage. |

Hey Andre, is everything ok down at WBX? I noticed that you've frozen all trading at the moment.
oh boy... haven't used this exchange for a while and only just today sold btc there and requested $ withdrawal. hope everything's okay... otherwise extremely poor timing on my part! |

Anyone written a PHP address validator? I saw a javascript one on the forum searches but wanted one in PHP.
... alternatively if someone can tell me how to calculate the validity of an address I'll code and share it myself.
forum search -> php address validator -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16763.0edit: hmm when i searched again, i was expecting this thread to also come up in the results, but it's not there yet... i wonder how long it takes for current posts to end up in the search results. |

Sounds super reliable...
*edit* btw, Ponzis usually say they're full to make you trust them more, it's a common hallmark of the scam. There is no way they're actually paying 1% to people per day. That would make zero sense for them. Don't fall for it.
*re-edit* The right way to do what you're talking about is to get a high-yield CD and borrow at a low rate against property, and play the difference between a loan and a locked-in interest rate over the long term. No one legitimate offers compounded interest daily or weekly like what you're talking about. That is always, always a red flag for a scam. You'd be a lot better off just putting your life's savings on Roulette (which as a casino owner, I wouldn't recommend either).
Heh, shows how much you know about pirate's system. I apparently know nothing... Do you know what he actually does? I'm sure he would give you more details if you needed them, but it is basically selling bitcoins for cash in person, and for those transactions he needs a lot of coin in a short amount of time. Obviously the sale is at a decent markup, because he then buys coin at an exchange to repay the lenders, and gives them their interest. As far as I can work out, it isn't a continuous interest system, although if it is, that would be due to trading profits. Also, good luck getting an invite, you might have better luck asking on IRC (maybe). maybe true, but... every ponzi has a back-story. usually it's 'trading' in foreign exchange or something... bit-scalping?  |

I prefer to call it the “reading room.”
i work from home a lot so have a dedicated room set up as an office, so your 'reading room' is what's known in my house as 'the small office' to distinguish it from the main one. i like the OP's idea by the way... i've never got into laser tag because there's not enough feedback for me... meaning i much prefer the sting of a paintball than the 'oh gosh darn you tagged me with a beam of light'. |

~Bruno~ (not Sacha Baron Cohen)
'not' quotes are the most annoying thing ever. i wish Google could distinguish between a keyword hit and an anti keyword hit. like when i want to search for "how to do xyz" and it returns a million pages that tell me "how not to do xyz". p.s. when will disney on ice accept bitcoins? |

Your anonymous cash deposit might not be so anonymous if they can link the deposit to a specific date/time and get surveillance camera data.  exactly, and even if you were able to hide your face, your gait is often uniquely identifiable... so you know, jump around like a chimp to throw them off. |

When you create an account with Paypal, you agree that whatever they do is fine.
how about tasering your dad? is it part of itunes? actually the OP reminds me of a story a while back where it was found some 4 or 5 year old purchased an industrial digging machine / tractor with her dad's credit card, much to the parents' surprise. |

Just found it (from that other thread).
The page says the "seconds" hand does 144 blocks per revolution. why is that? Why 144, and why isnt it 60 blocks, like 1 block = 1 second?
I am unsure what I would use that clock for. mostly I watch the blockcount to wait for the 6 block verification count, and that I do right in bitcoin gui. but then, with an easily understandable and readable bitcoinclock, I would use it whenever I dont send/receive with my local bitcoin instance.
Maybe have a "stopwatch" function? I press "Start!", and can easily see when 6, or 100 blocks were added. Maybe with an alarm (popup, sound, flashing tab, changing tab icon)? Now that would make me use the bitcoinclock exclusively!
Nevertheless, thank you for that, sometimes its the small, easy things that help a lot!
Ente
144 blocks is approximately how many are found per 24 hours. i think 60 blocks would have less meaning. i currently have no plans to spend extra time on more functions, but feel free to take the idea and/or code and improve upon it for your own projects. someone also did a litecoin spinoff that may be of interest to you. err, it's down. |

I want to learn Javascript as my first real programming language. I am good with HTML and CSS so I have completed that part of the suite. I now need to get to the deeper parts of web development.
Where do I start?
i guess most people learn javascript and then move on to jquery, but i'm doing it in reverse... jquery is helping me learn javascript. |

Everyone already has a copy of the blockchain. All we need is a GUI or CGI to read it.
bitcoin has lots of commands that can be issued to a running bitcoin instance: backupwallet <destination>
getaccount <bitcoinaddress>
getaccountaddress <account>
getaddressesbyaccount <account>
getbalance [account] [minconf=1]
getblockcount
getconnectioncount
getdifficulty
getgenerate
gethashespersec
getinfo
getmemorypool [data]
getnewaddress [account]
getreceivedbyaccount <account> [minconf=1]
getreceivedbyaddress <bitcoinaddress> [minconf=1]
gettransaction <txid>
getwork [data]
help [command]
keypoolrefill
listaccounts [minconf=1]
listreceivedbyaccount [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false]
listsinceblock [blockid] [target-confirmations]
listtransactions [account] [count=10] [from=0]
move <fromaccount> <toaccount> <amount> [minconf=1] [comment]
sendfrom <fromaccount> <tobitcoinaddress> <amount> [minconf=1] [comment] [comment-to]
sendmany <fromaccount> {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment]
sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount> [comment] [comment-to]
setaccount <bitcoinaddress> <account>
setgenerate <generate> [genproclimit]
settxfee <amount>
signmessage <bitcoinaddress> <message>
stop
validateaddress <bitcoinaddress>
verifymessage <bitcoinaddress> <signature> <message>
walletlock
walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>
walletpassphrasechange <oldpassphrase> <newpassphrase>
What other info do pools need access to? how is the next difficulty estimated/calculated? |

Hopefully at least /q/getblockcount will be working tomorrow.
thanks, i'll send another donation on behalf of the clock |

has anyone successfully bought anything from drome? if i remember correctly these have been for sale for over 6 months.

it seems bitcoinclock.com is just having problems because it polls blockexplorer.com which is currently down / extremely slow.
i might have to put some kind of fall-back to get the blockcount from elsewhere.
