I don't get it. If 1 bitcoin costed more and therefore "fewer" bitcoins would be moved around then how can THAT make confirmations faster? Cheesy

It's the number of transactions not the number of bitcoins in each transaction that takes time.
2244  Economy / Speculation / Re: So, are we going up or down? on: March 07, 2013, 08:54:40 PM
we find that the USD volume trends appear very similar. If we assume, most reasonably Cheesy, that similar price trends will follow, then we can expect a rise to $400-$450 by April, followed by a 5 month decline to a hard floor of $30 (and in two years the whole thing will repeat and we will shoot to $9k!).

That's exactly what I've been thinking.

I'm an independent game developer. Just wanted to add that unity is sucky sucky, if you're taking that route you could as well as use gamemaker or whatever shit that takes away your freedom to solve your problems with an open mind.

I've been thinking of bitcoin games myself too and a lot but I generally dislike casino games. My ideal bitcoin game would be skill based arcade game with competitive multi player elements. Imagine tank or bomberman but you must insert a coin to play online and if you beat everybody you'll be getting their coins too. Obviously fuck unity because so simple games could be implemented on HTML5 / javascript + websocket so they would be automatically multi platform.

If you're interested I've developed a websocket <-> raw TCP proxy in C++ for unix OS but it can also be run in windows using cygwin. The proxy accepts websocket connections and translates these to normal TCP/IP for your TCP/IP game server.

Also, I have this other idea. You know how taxi drivers and barmen get tips for their service. I think that programmers should have the same opportunity and with bitcoin it can easily be done.

A few references to read up on:

http://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page BitMessage uses bitcoin's public ledger approach.

http://tent.io Tent is probably closest to what you're thinking of. Making Tent secure using public key cryptography would be an interesting combination.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/papers/peer.pdf This is a very intriguing idea which was never implemented, that combines bitcoin's proof-of-work concept with identity. Allows you to create "expensive" identities, which would deter spammers and trolls.



Thanks, after seeing Diaspora I was sort of disappointed. I actually meant p2p social networking so that the network discovery could be similar to bitcoin and others.

Do go to FB directly it will promp the security warning and that way you will be sure that you were not phished. Happened to me once but never emailed just blocked from the website

Yes that's what happened but I also got the e-mail. Later when I changed the password I got another e-mail notifying me that I have changed my password.

The link you see down there was exactly where it pointed to and it is legit. I first received the notice when actually being on facebook watching some youtube video. I think it was not phishing. I also tried to access facebook by their IP but unfortunately none of the ones  I found from the web worked so I had to rely on DNS. I don't think the DNS was compromised anyway.
2251  Other / Off-topic / Re: Someone accessed my facebook account internally? on: December 31, 2012, 02:05:18 PM
Oh shit. But the address bar was constantly facebook.com, how's that? I especially kept an eye on that.
2252  Other / Off-topic / Re: Someone accessed my facebook account internally? on: December 31, 2012, 01:38:38 PM
Any suggestions? Am I being monitored by THE GOVERNMENT? (No kidding, this creeps me out and I'm considering starting to use VPN)

You're being monitored by several governments.

How did you receive the notice? Are you sure it was from Facebook? That type of phishing email is pretty common.

@ OP check the email headers...

Seems legit. Although I'm not sure under what criteria.

However, it cointains similar IP that logged in to my account: "Received: from [10.80.169.69] ([10.80.169.69:57547])"
2253  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Decentralized Social Network on: December 31, 2012, 01:20:10 PM
Diaspora is one of many decentralized/p2p social networks.  You're not the first to think of it.

Thanks. Also, cool avatar.
2254  Bitcoin / Project Development / Decentralized Social Network on: December 31, 2012, 01:09:56 PM
I'm sick and tired of facebook's supremacy.
Has anyone thought about decentralizing a social network service?

It should base on private/public key cryptography except your account's data should not be stored on the network I guess. The protocol should just make it possible to discover friends and get their news, likes and shares easily.

I don't feel it being impossible and I'd love to host my own front end to my social media data. It would be pretty much like a normal homepage except it would have its own standardized API for other people to fetch my updates.

Somewhat similarly to wordpress (open source, easy to set up).

Actually I'm not sure if it even needs the private/public key cryptography at all. Any thoughts?
2255  Other / Off-topic / Re: Someone accessed my facebook account internally? on: December 31, 2012, 12:51:11 PM
My facebook activity should not be a concern in my opinion, although I sometimes share videos from here: http://www.amtvmedia.com/

Plus I like bitcoin.

I thought about phishing too but I carefully looked at the address bar and it was valid. Also I am using pidgin facebook chat in parallel and the strange behaviour started several hours before the IP notice. My pidgin chat kept disconnecting and reconnecting for several hours. I always got the message "server has disconnected you because you were logged in from another device" (not exact wording).

When I tried to brute force my facebook from the TOR network I wasn't receiving that notice so I guess brute forcing doesn't trigger it. Also, I changed my password at facebook to really strong a couple of months ago. The password contains numbers, letters of different cases and also symbols, its length goes up to 20+ characters.

I use linux mint 14, firefox 17.0.1 and noscript is usually enabled. However, sometimes I have to disable it. I also have a theory that this was facebook's internal mess up. Maybe their main service didn't notice their chat.facebook.com service and because pidgin chat uses the same password it messed something up causing their internal ip to be blocked by their main service.

Because my passwords at different sites are somewhat similar I'm concerned that maybe I should change them all (which would be really unpleasant) but considering that it would kill the excess paranoia in me it would be a smart thing to do anyway.

By the way, because my general distrust in communication channels such as skype, MSN, facebook chat and even e-mail I developed my own communication channel that uses AES 256 encryption. It's here: http://ratchat.net.ee
2256  Other / Off-topic / Someone accessed my facebook account internally? on: December 31, 2012, 01:24:01 AM
Hi! Yesterday I received this notice that facebook has detected unusual IP accessing my account. I did not recognize it and therefore was asked to change my password. The strange thing about it was that the ip that had accessed my account did not display any location on map nor ISP name or anything. It was just an IP number.

The IP was something like that: 10.x.y.z I can't remember what the x y and z were but I guess it doesn't matter because IPs that start with the number 10 belong to the private network anyway. This means that my account was accessed from some facebook's internal servers?

Any suggestions? Am I being monitored by THE GOVERNMENT? (No kidding, this creeps me out and I'm considering starting to use VPN)

Also, suggest me good bitcoin VPNs. Should I go for Air VPN?
2257  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins Can Inflate Too - Stop worrying about deflation. on: December 28, 2012, 12:10:02 PM
Yes, we have 4 types:
hyper inflation - bad
hyper deflation - worse
inflation - evil
deflation - fair enough

The dudes saying deflation is bad always describe "hyper deflation" without saying the word "hyper".
2258  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins Can Inflate Too - Stop worrying about deflation. on: December 28, 2012, 11:31:49 AM
One of my teachers during the course of software economics pretty much started the course with comparing inflation and deflation. And he told the classical explanation of why deflation is a bad thing (also mentioning Japan at some point during the last century), then came to a conclusion that even if inflation is a bad thing deflation is even worse and then asked the class if anyone thought it's not all bad. Obviously I was the only one raising my hand and telling him that it's not that simple and deflation can still be good. The guy then told me I'd be stupid if I bought gas knowing that it would be cheaper tomorrow and completely ignored me saying "If I need something today I won't be waiting for tomorrow". The argument ended with the lecturer asking me if I now think deflation is bad and me answering "this topic needs a lecture of its own".

A couple of days ago I sent him this article of someone explaining why deflation isn't all bad. I also told him that next time when explaining deflation and inflation he might want to consider taking a rather neutral stand on that topic. Cool
2259  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins Can Inflate Too - Stop worrying about deflation. on: December 27, 2012, 09:00:22 PM
Let's say I made a transaction and I didn't give any transaction fees. Also, people make so many transactions that miners simply don't have time to deal with the ones that have no fees attached.

I still made my transaction but it is not getting any confirmations for days.. for weeks.. for months.. What can I do to get that transaction confirmed?

Maybe it would be wise to make a bitcoin service that could confirm any pending transaction for a small payment?
2260  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Great Silk Road Crash of 20** ...? on: December 20, 2012, 09:24:17 AM
they have constantly something wrong there. some icons misplaced is not a biggie. I wonder if you can do load balancing easily in tor network. They don't seem to use RESTful design for example. Because tor is so slow it is really important to optimize the page as much as possible.
