1961  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: how many transactions a block can hold(max)? on: February 05, 2014, 10:44:45 AM
Bitcoin-QT doesn't ask me to add tx fee for some transactions. However, it's been 6 8 hours and I'm still having 0 confirmations. Why is this? Is Bitcoin network overloaded?

You may want to post your transaction hash.

So I woke up this morning and see that the TX is now finally confirmed. Knowing that such things can happen and leave you in a disturbing void for some time I'd feel a need for some service that would allow me see if some pool has my TX queued and what could be the possible cause for delay. My initial thought was that because the TX didn't require a fee no miner wanted to confirm it and all the blocks got full. Other thought was that maybe someone was somehow disrupting the network on purpose.

You mean to tell me you ride a child's push bike?

only faggots sit on some sharp saddle between their ass crack squashing their balls. is that what you were asking for with that question? don't be that guy who ridicules innovation, you're on a wrong forum for that. try that kickbike and then come say your opinion. I have used a bicycle a lot in past thus my opinion has value while yours is purely based on prejudice.

1. My bike getting stolen, It would be the 6th Bike in a year, I maybe do live in the bike theft capital of the world though....

Never again I will ride a conventional bike... Been kickbiking for 2 years already and it's the second best thing after Bitcoin that has happened to me.

so let's assume USA knows its economy is going to collapse. What would be the most strategic move in that situation?
--- Bring all the others down with them!

Bitcoin does it very well. Not to mention that FBI already has quite a load of bitcoins. It can even be part of the NWO. The suspicious aspect is that I don't see any bad things related to NWO coming with cryptocurrencies.


eh wot!?

Wot about a completely cashless society, with every transaction going on ledger, with them controlling the value of the currency and each citizen being allowed one and only one wallet which they are allocated along with their global subject ID number?

Think that Bitcoin couldn't be turned into that?

Actually I've already thought about that scenario too. Let's say Bitcoin gets approved by governments but only Bitcoin and you must verify your addresses with your ID to some government officials. If at any point money comes to your addresses from unknown sources then you must either explain where that money came from (pay taxes/go to jail) or give it away to the government. Sending money to unknown (off the legal grid) addresses also needs explanation.

Operating with off-the-legal-grid BTC addresses can then be monitored with conventional NSA methods and if they discover you doing so then you will go to jail.

I've not stayed anonymous enough. After all, block chain is forever. Ideally I'd have bought all my coins for cash and used the internet 100% from behind a private VPN.
1968  Economy / Speculation / Re: Diversification into alt coins. on: January 31, 2014, 01:57:45 PM
its the gaming infrastructure that is already built and being built around LottoCoin that matters, not the coin itself. I've been around the Lotto community since the start and witnessed how quickly the gaming infra has grown in just a month. If you think about it most Bitcoin/litecoin clones are useless since they offer nothing new over Bitcoin, what matters is the people i.e. the community and developers that bring value to the coin.

True, but why should anyone build gaming services around LottoCoin INSTEAD of Bitcoin? I'd go for BTC from the beginning.

from the general alt scene i think Lotto holds promise as a lot of gaming sites are accepting it and a lot of games are being developed around it, if development continues in 1 year it might be the most popular gaming crypto out there.

What's so great about LottoCoin? They give random amounts of coins to miners which will make the price unstable. Why would I accept it as payment? That doesn't make sense. I'd say it's a bad coin.

peercoin is centralized crap , nxt is a premined scam.


buy Litecoin

How is peercoin centralized? It's way better by design than by Litecoin. I was selling my litecoins to buy more peercoins.
The thing is that if you own a substantial amount of addresses that can mint PoS blocks they are more likely to be drawn.

The number of addresses shouldn't change anything. It's the total amount of coin age that you own that produces PoS blocks.

This is all FUD. The parameters in the code EK wants you to use are like saying "pick an integer between 2 and 4 and I'll guess it in one guess"  Vs saying "pick an integer between one and a trillion and I'll guess it in 1 guess."

Just like with the android PRNG bug, if you limit the search space you can easily search it. It is self evident. There is a good thread in the tech and dev section which details why it isn't an issue unless you use bad (or limited) code to generate keys.


That's what I suspected. These code newbies don't know shit about PRNGs. Nevertheless, I've lately started to use http://random.org to influence the seed for my random number generators in security critical infrastructure.

I'd recommend something like this:
40% PPC <- PoS overpowers PoW
30% BTC
20% LTC
10% NMC

edit:
however, I myself are not a perfect follower of this plan because I hold my stuff in cold storage so I cannot balance the percentages out very easily. I'm still 80% BTC and I think it's a safe bet.

At the NY meeting the Winkelvii mentioned that if Bitcoin is banned or crushed, an altcoin with a tumbled public ledger is likely to replace it.

Zerocoin:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/01/13/bitcoin-anonymity-upgrade-zerocoin-to-become-its-own-cryptocurrency/

Seems interesting. I hope they will use PoS like Peercoin. Right now my personal belief is that once this whole crypto currency fever is over PoS coins will be dominant. In concept a PoS coin can have lower transaction fees than PoW coin and free market will then probably prefer PoS. Also the blockchain should be decaying so that very old transactions could be safely forgotten by the network.

Get your facts straight, read this: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_sociopol_firesky.htm#MENU

Also, your comparison is weird, just saying. People use nazi/Hitler comparison too much, like it is some ace card in all arguments.
