Perhaps it's time to really consider a completely new crypto-fiat network like those POS terminals Singapore are trying with PundiX.
The only real way to make blockchain payments work in the real world is to work with the banks and financial institutions, rather than against them. Any coin that is mined will have it's inherant volitility, the transaction fees now make Bitcoin hopeless as a payment system. A "tethered" coin isn't the answer, but what I'm currently compiling might just poke the technology into the relms of usable as an actual electronic cash  |

As soon as a company like this demands KYC procedures, I mentally check out.
Unfortunately its a legal requirement, and rightly so. |

There is the Testnet3 wallet, but cant find a way to connect it to a private Regtest network. I'm having to start from scratch now anyway as I've powered my machine on for the first time in months and both the main and backup drives have failed. Main has collapsed a bearing and ground a platter up, and the other just jams the BIOS up. Lost the last years work on ATM software and all my card terminal software is lost.

I know Bitcoin purchases were being blocked when it was at the 10 grand mark last year, but that was more due to people not knowing what Bitcoin is and the impending price drop that would have seen people loosing a lot of money.

Basically, both of your nodes are identifying transactions that belong to particular public keys that are contained within their respective wallet files. So, it would appear that you either have the same "wallet.dat" on each node... or the wallet files on each node contain the same public (or private) keys. The way you have setup your network really makes no difference, neither does the "addnode" commandline args etc... The only way for this to happen, is that both nodes have the same keys. Edit: just noticed they both have the same balance and same transaction history.
This pretty much confirms it. Edit2: Made payment on one node, and a minute or so later, the other node also gave a transaction sent notification, but not recieved twice in mobile wallet.
It isn't making a second transaction... it is just "seeing" the original transaction. Think of it like looking at your internet banking on your desktop computer (node 1)... and sending money to a friend.... then you look at the internet banking on your mobile device (node 2)... it'll show the same transaction, but doesn't mean that you have sent the money to your friend twice!  I think what's happened is years back I'd have copied the entire Bitcoin folder from one machine to another as syncing with an Atom D510 was extremely slow. I may use this odd situation to my advantage and see if I can use it to try double spending on Testnet. I know it wont do it, but I could do with testing my application out in that situation, both sending and receiving a double spent coin. |

I have a test network setup and currently I'm on Testnet as I can't get a connection to my Regtest node from an Android wallet.
I have my development machine running a testnet node, and another machine running it's own testnet node. I've got the second machine (a prototype kiosk) connected to the network as normal with my development machine as a preferred peer (to download a few years of data faster). I've just made a payment from mobile wallet to the kiosk and it's been recieved by both machines. Tried the other way too, payment requested on my development machine is received by both nodes. The only command line args are "-testnet -addnode=192.168.1.8" on the kiosk and "-testnet" on dev machine.
I have also taken one node offline, sent payment to the other and when the first is started again, it receives the payment too.
The kiosk node up until last night hadn't been online for over 2 years, there's no way they are sharing a wallet.dat and I'm really confused.
Any ideas?

Is it in any way possible to point the Testnet wallet towards a regtest node to demo using a private network? I have an almost ready to reveal project which I hope to demo at some UK Bitcoin meetups next year. Obviously having a node on testnet will potentially chew through mobile data, and I'd like to be able to generate loads of blocks quickly to demo a few features. Thanks |

Marriage is not a binding agreement anylonger. The agreement used to be to stick together through all, "in sickness and in health, through good time and bad, for richer and poorer, to love, honor and obey; until death do they part."
It's no longer that binding agreement. It has transformed into a juicy deal for women and a shitty deal for men. Men have absolutely no benefits from marriage anymore. Legal state-sanctioned marriage is a loaded gun pointed at every mans head... all the wife needs is the whimsy and emotion to pull the trigger, and they routinely pull those triggers at rated exponential to those of men to take everything he has every worked for and love away from him to benefit the State and women.
You sound like you believe that men solely exist to give women money and whatever else they want and to serve their every need and desire regardless of his own. I am correcting the fallacy.
You sound like you believe that women are nothing but "pussy" that men pay for. Enough said. |

Go get a job or a couple jobs. Any jobs. You should work any and every job until you find the right job. If you cannot afford your bills, then lower your quality of life, move to a cheaper apartment and cut all expenses not needed for your survival. He has no obligation to pay for pussy he no longer has-or-wants access to. You are a independent, strong and empowered woman and you are equal under the law, so start acting like it and go earn your way. If you still cannot manage to work hard enough to pay for your survival and quality of life, then spend your Bitcoins as needed. Why should a man pay for you when you have 10.000 euros in Bitcoins? The man owes you nothing. Go take care of yourself. Can my bitcoins count against me?
Yes What a cunt you are. Why indeed should a man not adhere to the binding agreement that is marriage. It's not like he agreed to it or anything. "No obligation to pay for pussy", says a lot about you really. |

I've developed a system that does just this. Make payments using a card, back-end uses crypto and merchant can get their payment in whatever currency they like. The issue is it cut's all the crap, makes Bitcoin and others no harder to use than waving a contactless card on a terminal and will make crypto coins easier to get hold of, potentially pushing the prices back down. No-one seems interested as all the money is made by using exchanges and a lack of supply compared to demand.

Does anyone have a Windows binary of the latest Litecoin testnet client? I really can't be arsed to setup a build environment and install Linux somewhere to compile it, and for some reason, there's no binary provided :/.

I'm working on a crypto payment processing-type system, but I'm moving away from Bitcoin and possibly using Etherum, or maybe a new blockchain as I think Eth will be a bit of a bugger to work with.

Possibly the ability to blacklist addresses so that they can never be used as an input again. Infect a million machines, and you need a million addresses otherwise they will end up getting rejected by the network. Would make ransom attacks on large scale more difficult, and once found to be a scam, address is forever locked so the funds can never be spent. If the scammers are likely to loose everything they get, there's less incentive to bother.

Ahh Bitcoin, that thing that viruses use, paedophiles use to buy images, criminals use to buy weapons and drugs......
That's all the average public will see, not the advantages of the technology, but all the shite it can be used for.

I've already done it. Based on Ingenico terminals with support for on chain, off chain, account based, QR based and wallet on smart card transactions. Not worked on it for a few months but I plan on getting back into it soon. Been waiting on the whole BU/Segwit bullshit abuse throwing to calm down and started looking at other coins to support.

I'm waiting for the BU supporters to chime in and say I'm interpreting these charts wrong or something  Well, you are probably interpreting the charts wrong  |

BTC was not made for real economy and that's why the merchants are not interested about it. What merchant would be happy to receive the funds within few days and the value to go up and down? BTC is only good for speculation. Not Bitcoins fault, blame those that only want to use it as a money making tool. |

Be the change.
Open a shop at a market, or OpenBazaar, or both, to serve the people who used Bitcoin at CEX.
The issue is, I don't trust it either. I have worked around the price volatility for merchants to accept it, but I see little point right now. Got a server starting up to install Ethereum on, and about to send my Testnet coins back to the faucet so I can get my drive space back. We cannot blame the company since they just do what is necessary to protect the interest of the company. With the problems on the coming hardfork many have panicked and shifted into ethereum and dash. Though it is a sad thing to hear companies backing out of bitcoin but we just need to accept the fact and continue to support bitcoin.
I was not too far off looking for companies to trial out my crypto payment system. Got a bunch of hardware here, and the software is coming along. CEX was my first choice as they already accept(ed) Bitcoin, and there would be no expense to them. That idea has gone down the pan! I don't blame them for no longer accepting it, I've invested in a load of payment terminals for a service I am developing and having doubts about Bitcoin now. |

CEX in the UK have been accepting Bitcoin for about 3 years both in-store and online for buying and selling.
Browsing the website today and I notice that the Bitcoin logo has gone from the bottom of the webpage, and in the FAQ, and under payment methods. All mention of it has now gone, and I guess they have removed the ATM's from stores too.
Not very promising really, a company that invested in supporting Bitcoin has given up within 3 years. I'd guess the frigging huge transaction backlog, days of delays for confirmation and higher than Mastercard (credit) fees are turning people and business away while the community throws abuse at itself.

Did not everyone know that was what miners were actually protesting about...?
You're naive Don't the miners know that Lightning's orders-of-magnitude increase in transaction rate increase the network effect by the same factor, and in turn the market price of the commodity they produce? And that on-chain transactions will be required not just for Lightning, but in their own right? The truth is, miners like ideas such as BIP100 or EC, as they know they will have far more control. Did you know: when someone wants to deceive to get what they really want, telling lies is a requirement  Plus those lovely transaction fees that they won't get with LN transactions |
