21201  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Pointless releasing anything like OpenBazaar on any other format besides Android on: April 16, 2016, 06:12:06 PM
Maybe the devs could create an Android client that would allow us to log into our store and manage stuff while on the go but the main application will be run at home.
knowing it's peer to peer, you would literally be just logging into your home computer not a central service.. there is already software to remotely access your PC from your phone which people use to control things on their computer remotely.

but i think thats the only real solution to do what the OP and wendigo is proposing

Confused at the point of this thread,you do not list a name and make vague reference to your link in signature. You click on the signature and there is no follow up or any news,so without another link explaining this its a thread with nothing going on. Can you throw up a link besides the one in your signature to explain this?

the OP is mostly smoking too much weed before entering his hallucinations.. he is talking about his own fake business trying to make it seem legit by saying that important people are atleast aware of his fake business..

but the short of it is there is no business and he is trying to obtain some fake rep.

im starting to think his psychiatrist told him to talk about his dreams and thoughts. and so he is now thinking this forum is the place for his therapeutic outlet

The problem is when people who don't really know their 'stuff' start spreading it to others and then it causes a chain of misinformation.

as proof.. the very same person who i quote. has been a member for 3 years. even managed to attain the ranking of being a moderating staff of this forum. and in that 3 years he has failed to even learn that the main bitcoin implementation he loves so much bitcoin-core, is infact not wrote in java, which he did not even know.

without even reading a line of code or white papers or even github. he still had to ask someone, after 3 years....

i feel sorry for all them people that blindly believe his words simply because he has staff as his rank

summary:
the ranking of this forum is meaningless.
21204  Economy / Collectibles / Re: How would you like to design a bitcoin banknote? on: April 16, 2016, 01:41:55 AM
the whole concept was to make the 'naive fiat world' imagine bitcoin like bearer bonds.

i have handed out many 'notes'.. but not to use as a bank note (changing hands many times) but instead used as a bearer bond that is put in a safe place so no other people can see it.

it helps to get people to understand the paper wallet concept easier, then they dont have to worry about backing up private keys on computers all the time. because its a paper wallet.. essentially

95% of people have no idea how a credit card works even tho they use it daily.

Amen. (Include me in the 95%.)

Me Wink

if anyone thinks they know how credit cards work.. ask yourself without googling. what is a luhn check.
if you dont know the answer then your part of the 99% that dont know the technicals of credit cards.

and its things like making bitcoin so 'laymen' that people do not need to know about cryptography of elliptic curves or even the basics of how many bytes a tx is to work out a fee.

they just need the most simple '3 click solution' to pay for something.

back in the 90's people needed special programs called FTP clients and needed to learn about ftp addresses and ports and commands.. to get files onto the internet
but now FTP hosting is now 'cloud services' that people can use without knowing any technicals. they just press upload, and its done
21207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long does an unwanted fork last? on: April 14, 2016, 09:04:20 AM
The question is weird by nature and cannot be answered in this sense. So essentially what you have now is Chain A (currently used) and controversial fork (let's call it Satoshi Reloaded). Satoshi reloaded required 70% of the miners in order to successfully fork. In the case that it gathers the necessary support the following happens: Chain A splits at one point in time into Chain A (the "old" one) and Chain B (the fork). Essentially there is no exact amount of time that the fork last. As long as there are people who run it, it will stay "alive" (e.g. take a look at any altcoin as they are forks).

not sure where lauda is getting these numbers from but a fork can happen at any percentage.

a consensus fork however needs a majority. (much debate about what magic number that should be classed as majority, lauda himself naively thought 95% was the magic number. now it seems 70% is acceptable.. so take it with a pinch of salt).

but to get to the route of the question.

a fork can happen for a variety of reasons, bugs, differing implementations, a dodgy transaction/block that strangely goes unnoticed.

if its a feature that the majority want(consensus). the fork may never be fixed because its desire of the people to carry on this variant because it offers new features, such as segwit, weakblocks, etc.

if however it was a bug. it depends how disastrous it was and how many are affected. we have had a few bugs recognized and fixed quite quickly in the past, but it is also dependent on how fast full node users update their versions of bitcoin to have the bugfix.

in the past it has been a few hours. not weeks or a year. but the exact timescale is unpredictable because without knowing the cause, no one knows how long it would take to make a fix and release a updated implementation.

but one thing is for sure it does not take a year to get people to update their implementations, especially when a fork is involved

if its just a dogdy tx/block the eventual orphans can be upto an hour(worse case odds). but most of the time ~10 minutes because the next block would most likely be solved by a different pool and pick-up on the problem. worse case a bad pool may solve 6 blocks in a row or a couple pools acting together badly may look passed the error until a good pool solves a block and picks up on the error
21208  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Hillary Clinton on: April 14, 2016, 07:38:43 AM
What do you think about President Hillary Clinton the President of United States of America

hypocrit.
voted for spying on the public's communications but felt justified to hide her own personal communications

indecisive
she says one thing to make one group of people happy, then says the exact opposite to make another group happy. remaining wishy-washy about what she actually wants to happen

lack of intellect
with all of her PA's and consultants she would never make it as a commander and chief(sole decision maker). she would however make it in congress or another place where its a team effort to make decisions.

the only card she has is the gender card. the only notable history she would ever make as president is "the first female president", nothing more.

21209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Japan Considers Regulating Bitcoin as Currency on: April 13, 2016, 07:03:29 PM
it seems that every country is following the same logic.

when something cannot be controlled, its far far easier to first of all make it illegal. and then secondly make new laws to allow a certain type of person to be allowed to use it.

this logical method is easier then just trying to make only certain people allowed to use it without making it illegal first
21210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Settlement Layer or Payment Network? on: April 12, 2016, 05:13:09 PM
Well even Andreas Antonopoulos is saying that bitcoin is not transferred, instead it's settled.

So it looks like the settlement layer is the real emphasis of bitcoin.

yep no one should trust the unconfirmed transaction, which some compare to a payment authorization(not settled). which may seem instant to process but cannot guarantee the end recipient will get it. so everyone should be treating bitcoin as, funds havnt moved until they are confirmed.

so although bitcoin has the 'naive utility' of settlement and payment, no one should trust the payment side(due to malle, RBF, pool preferences) and only trust the settlement side(confirmed in blocks), which is what bitcoin's main invention is all about essentially
21211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please rebroadcast this on: April 12, 2016, 01:12:18 PM

but as i said the OP's situation is not a counterfeit tx and is just a slow to confirm tx, due to no fee


will it confirm or not ?

as long as the originator doesnt try to now make a tx plus a fee, to spend it elsewhere with the hope their fee included tx gets confirmed first.
so as long as the only tx in the mempool using them funds is the one intended to you, and as long as a pool finally adds your intended tx to a block then it will get confirmed.

so just keep broadcasting it so that it doesnt get dropped and hope the originator doesnt try to force a new tx using a fee.
21212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2MB block mined in segnet on: April 12, 2016, 12:34:13 PM
Transactions: 5
size: 2mb
this is not really proving that it will allow more people to transact onchain. but is more of a representation of how a block would look when offchain solutions are used and finally settled

im still waiting for the best amount of
1in one 1out style of transactions
well maybe
2in one 2out style of transactions to represent an average tx..

we dont want 5 major exchanges/offchains abusing the onchain ledger, forcing normal people to not be able to just do a normal bitcoin transaction onchain
 
21213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please rebroadcast this on: April 12, 2016, 12:16:11 PM
How could one send bitcoins that were previously used ? I wonder how it is just possible. Maybe you're wrong, but if you're right, that's freaky, because I always thought that there was no way to do it, and was not very careful.

i was wrong in this case as i took a quick glance at the numbers and didnt take the time to check. so i was too quick to judge
so relax about the OP's situation. it hopefully should confirm at some point.

as for your question about sending funds already used:
there is a way to make an already spent transaction output show on block explorers as a new transaction input, as unconfirmed. and that is just to broadcast a transaction that uses an already spent output. it will just sit in the mempool until its dropped. and not get confirmed.
emphasis: it wont get confirmed. so relax about that..

thus technically not a true double spend because its impossible to get 2 spents confirmed..

the problem is that people do trades based on just seeing a transaction before its confirmed, rather then waiting for the confirmation. so although its not a bitcoin confirmed double spend, by blindly handing over the other funds (for instance the OP sending paysafe funds) before its confirmed. if it never confirms then the person loses out. so people naively also call this method a "double spend".

id prefer to call this counterfeiting. rather then a double spend. because someone is presenting funds that are not going to authorise/settle.

but as i said the OP's situation is not a counterfeit tx and is just a slow to confirm tx, due to no fee

21214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please rebroadcast this on: April 12, 2016, 11:38:16 AM
oops sorry bad maths.

ok it should go through (eventually)
21215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please rebroadcast this on: April 12, 2016, 10:49:22 AM

Without connections to miners its difficult to double spend a well propagated transaction. Since I (and possibly others) continuously rebroadcast it, its unlikely that other nodes will accept and relay a double spend.

shorena.. you do realise that the originating funds
https://blockchain.info/address/1LEbLUJUjmYangiu7VzM5JB7jh24q6Cijo (0.06)
https://blockchain.info/address/165pscQhVjsqT26gYn9eEMZU7Eu1wrUJX3 (0.01)

have already been spent elsewhere before.
so no matter how much you re-broadcast the tx for the OP. new tx will never confirm..

not so much about japans love for bitcoin.

but the japanese yen just got weakened so people are moving their funds before things fall
21217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: /btc is full of hypocrites or shills on: April 09, 2016, 03:45:06 PM
If people cannot get their way, they will try to fuck shit up. I'll say it as it is. Considering they can use anything they want to say as potential ammunition for the media, we'll have to prepare for more storms like it in the future.

Yes they will say that they represent bitcoin, and drag down reputable people with it.

They are just crazy monkeys from our perspective.


statement above applies to both the classic fanboy and the blockstream fanboys
21218  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto Exchange ShapeShift Hacked, Unspecified Amount of Bitcoin Lost on: April 09, 2016, 02:59:22 PM
The good thing about the hack towards them was the wake up call they got (even though still no news regarding the loss amount on their side). Although I personally don't like their exchange since it had glitches in the past, I like the way they ensure of no loss of funds for users and only on their side with the downside of few pending transactions though.

yep i think they could actually spin this into a positive.
21219  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto Exchange ShapeShift Hacked, Unspecified Amount of Bitcoin Lost on: April 09, 2016, 11:43:10 AM
i welcome the day when you can be technical and provide accurate and informative information for once.

How about you stop misleading people about abstract technical challenges of developing Bitcoin software, and take a look at what really helping a real person with a real problem looks like. You have that nice day also.



p.s. I don't expect to find Franky helping software users with their issues at all, he would have to sacrifice too much of the valuable time he spends propagandising with his faux-technical bilge

lol ok carlton. you unsuccessfully helped someone update a program. keep up with that

@cypherdoc

If you just want to erase the 0.93.3 location and replace it with 0.94.1:


appears to have failed.  ran thru above steps and seemed ok.  but when launching, i still get 0.93.3:


by the way if you want to hijack a topic, atleast try keeping the posts about the topic. instead of your meandering offtopic crap that are full of insults and lack of real information.
21220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Media Speculation Grows that Satoshi will Reveal Himself as Early as The Weeken on: April 09, 2016, 11:04:19 AM
i will never understand why all those things happens. i mean that if Mr. S.N. want to reveal himself he dont need to announce it, just do it, by pgp key, that's all.
Let me bet again, this is just another false information, and let be bet again, is not the last one that we will read.

PGP is fail, moving the funds is the only thing that would matter
