I'm trying to build libbitcoin on FreeBSD 10. I gave up on clang due to several issues in the source (missing braces and such) and installed gcc 4.9.
Things are looking a bit better, but I'm running into a different problem. This isn't libbitcoin specific, but this is the source I'm trying to build and haven't had any luck with google.
In network.lo, I get an error that to_string is not a member of std. I verified this to be a gcc problem by making a small test file and compiling it with various options. None are working, but I can compile cleanly with clang.
Any pointers on how to build on FreeBSD (with clang or gcc)?
Thanks,
Are you able to provide a virtual machine image for me to take a look? BTW I'm genjix on #darkwallet on Freenode IRC |

Unwilling coercion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne8-mUibhc4Willful compliance: But here's a question to ponder. If the NSA came along and offered to run a few thousand Obelisk servers, what would you tell them?
You sound compromised. What kind of man avoids his moral duty to save himself from prison. This isn't even in your own self interest unless you're paid well. I bet you think Satoshi was misguided. |

I think it's damn crap they disown themselves of their "friend" like this right away. Everyone distances themselves immediately. If this were a friend of mine, and I saw no moral wrong in their actions, damn straight I would be stirring the pot.

It's not about Charlie did this or that. It's how quickly everyone distances themselves. It's like we are so concerned with how we look, rather than the substance of who we are. It's not like we suddenly discovered he's a paedophile. There's been some serious accusations levelled against this person based on their work with Bitcoin. Maybe he got greedy and saw an opportunity for more profit. But the point is that where is the solidarity? I don't see a huge injustice or big immorality here. I see a profiteer who did something with little harm (or even positive effect).
What I do see, is an obsession with image. Yesterday he was a darling. Today he's a pariah. Would you treat someone you know and trust this way? Would you publically out them and distance yourself from someone you believe to be morally upstanding in the name of preserving your image? Or would you show them solidarity, and stand with them as a friend?
Just because it's corporates in suits, doesn't excuse their actions. Even if you could see it happening. That you expect it to happen is a sad reflection of the world we live in. Flip flopping on friends and allies is sociopath behaviour.

http://www.coindesk.com/charlie-shrem-resigns-bitcoin-foundation-silk-road-arrest/Charlie was one of the biggest advocates and architects of placating to power structures in order to curry favour. Now he has been neutralised and his friends wash their hands of him. Naturally this is painted in terms of his responsibility and guilt. This obsession with image affects how Bitcoin develops as a free market tool. Bitcoin's interest is advanced in different directions depending on the groups controlling it. If corporates and people working with central power dictate development, then satoshi's vision will evolve into CorpCoin. Software is art. Technology is never neutral. All technical decisions involve tradeoffs and the best path isn't always clear. It's easy to become gradually corrupted if you ignore your principles and willingly sacrifice your integrity.

Cool  If I understand it correct, the sender must know the stealth address from the receiver and the receiver must know the nonce from the sender, so information need to be exchanged both way, comparing with the standard way of only providing a receiving address? This creates a strong use-case for Twister adoption: Put your stealth address in your twister profile. When you send a payment, send a direct message with the nonce to the receiver. DM's are encrypted in twister. Take it a step further: bake this feature into every bitcoin-twister client so the user never even sees their stealth address. Then, all bitcoin payments reduce to "1.5mB @bob". It takes all the centralization out of the current tipping schemes and makes them forward-anonymous by default. ssshhhh you're giving away my secrets  |

WARNING: I just upgraded libbitcoin to new style compressed public keys. This will produce incompatibility with generating addresses on old-style Electrum deterministic wallets. Generating private keys is still fine, but the addresses will look different. I suggest moving funds off your wallet before upgrading and then moving them back after.
Anyone who needs the old style uncompressed keys, can use the latest libbitcoin tarball release off the website rather than the Git repo.

I guess sx erases the payee's pubkey and encrypts the payer's privkey after the stealth payment right? If say FBI breaks into Alice's house and seizes her computer, they should not be able to figure out she has paid Bob isn't it?
Nothing is stored on your computer. There's no files involved in this. You are responsible for keeping the secret. I suggest storing it encrypted somewhere or writing it down on a piece of paper. |

Nice work, Amir  You seem to have an expired ssl cert on *.unsystem.net, by the way. This whole system is very reminiscent of ssl, since I'm on the subject.. Initial handshake with shared secret. But of course the purpose is different in various ways. If we think of a scenario where a customer wants to pay to a Silk Road merchant, I guess you'd say that this part (stealth addresses) is a kind of substitute for the encryption part of ssl (well, not a complete substitute but part) (because obviously you can't encrypt the blockchain but this serves to seriously obfuscate the meaning of txs), while the authentication part of ssl would have to be dealt with separately through some pgp stuff or x509 or whatever? I've changed the link now in the OP. Original link: https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/Sx/StealthAlternative link: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Sx/StealthAll these new innovations are great. Especially when you start thinking about systems like Twister and their implications. Writing functions like initiate_stealth() is probably the coolest thing I've ever written. |

The most important difference between this and the deterministic wallet is that you may never need to publicize your address(defense against Google data mining) to receive payments, which has to be spelled out somewhere I think.
It's fantastic. This combined with CoinJoin = unstoppable anonymous Bitcoin. |

Would you accept? And why?
I work with all sorts of people. Doesn't mean I need the consent or participation of police, legislators, corporations or other adversaries. That's simply common sense. And you didn't just talk to police, you support their actions. People working against your own users.

I'm usually pretty careful not to call people names. Did I screw up?
I DO think there are lots of crazy conspiracy theories. I might even believe some of them myself, but that doesn't make me crazy (just "almost certainly wrong.").
RE: child exploitation: Good example. We all agree that child exploitation is BAD, right?
We might disagree about what (if anything) we should DO about it, but isn't it worth discussing whether or not there is something we MIGHT do about it? For example, maybe offering mostly-anonymous bounties to reward anybody who gives information that leads to the arrest and conviction of people abusing children for profit or pleasure is a good idea. Maybe those bounties could be paid in Bitcoin.
Maybe that is a terrible idea that will have awful consequences, but instead of rational discussion there's a knee-jerk GOVERNMENT BAD! that, in my humble opinion, is counter-productive to making the world a better place.
I don't like people assuming that they know what I'm thinking, or assume that because I'm willing to talk to people that I agree with those people, or assume that because I'm pragmatic about regulation I "want regulation." For the record: I'm mostly libertarian, I think we'd be just fine if we replaced 99.911% of regulations with voluntary, private, market-based solutions. But that ain't gonna happen any time soon.
This logic is deeply flawed. Note, nobody is not telling you not to meet with people. But this stance of currying favour by being willing to sacrifice your sovereignty in exchange is fucking dangerous! It's the same story why in the UK for instance, we ended up the IWF (a fake charity and shadow organisation) who censors the internet - despite no laws or regulation existing. It was an organisation formed preemptively by ISPs worried about the threat of censorship... Well we can see how that's turned out; it's ended up being the foot in the door for control freaks and now the UK internet is basically unusable with default filters on every new internet connection that requires national ID to opt-out to a weaker blacklist.  You're willing to compromise on Bitcoin's fundamentals to help a few exchange businesses?! You can't trivialise regulation of cryptocurrency (possibly as fundamental as the internet) by comparing it to something meaningless. All this talk about placating to power is part of a deeper issue in Bitcoin. There's this dangerous attitude among the elite Bitcoin class that the anarchists invented this nice plaything but now it needs to be taken away from them and legitimised in order to become acceptable for everyone else. Note, this same attitude has played out with the internet. And anytime we didn't hold steadfast and resist, we lost our integrity forever. Do you honestly believe giving the people in power "warm fuzzies" does anything but empower them? Do you see yourself as a keizer soze type figure moving in powerful circles undermining their standing from within? Or is the reality more that you're compromising on what Bitcoin stands for in the name of pragmatism. Pragmatism is what people tell you when you try to do the right thing. It's an excuse to divert your attention from doing whats right because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of retribution, fear of whatever. "be pragmatic, be realistic", but in your heart you know that is only corruption speaking. It is through being "pragmatic" that we accept the situation as unchangeable and end up supporting a situation we don't support. You are being used as a figurehead to represent the viewpoints and interests of others to push their agenda. By remaining silent on issues, and remaining in their circles, you are consenting to their actions. |
