2261  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do YOU value Bitcoins worth? on: September 16, 2013, 05:29:36 AM
when selling: gox   Grin

But the magical $ value you see in your mt.Gox account after selling BTC is worth $0 effectively, if you cannot take delivery of it. (i.e. wire transfer to your own bank account)
Who cares if the other person isn't willing to demand use of a functional exchange for pricing?

Bitstamp for valuing when buying and in figuring out how much I have, Gox if anyone's enough of a sucker to take it when I'm selling.

Check the Wiki on transaction fees for the formula.

What you want for low fees:
1) Old (by date) inputs
2) Few inputs (you don't want a bunch of .000005BTC inputs)

There are other rules I can't remember off the top of my head.

is it ok to block bitcoin on UDP port and just leave the TCP accessible?
No, and that's why you'd want something which can limit bandwidth consumption on an application level like NetLimiter. BTC still has to fully communicate, you just don't want uploading blocks taking up all possible upload bandwidth of your connection.

The effort to make the transcript is appreciated - but is there any reason to be putting *accents* into it?
No pay to keep me engaged. Turning speech into more of a caricature provides the engagement, instead. I think it helps in accurately determining inflection, too. More the engagement, though.

Grin You must've missed the first draft I put up before going over it again. Liz: ... so we want people to be encouraged to jump in and share ideas in the BTC marketplace, whether it's for soft porn development, or communication, or how we get off on the message.

If it were live captions, that's what would've shown up for people with CC on.  Cheesy

Will finish transcribing & edits tonight, give LTB a no-fun version while fun version will stay here. Won't start in on it for ~4hours, until daughter's in bed.

ETA: @ qwk, it takes me ~5x as long to accurately transcribe something as there is audio length. .1BTC/ep is still basically free work when they're 30-60m each. Maybe there's someone else who can do it in real-time or near real-time who'd take it up - definitely people faster than me. I don't do it often. Idunno - I've bitched about their lack of transcriptions before. I guess I'll do it for tips over the next couple months if I still can't find replacement FT work.

ETA2: Actually... it'd be a lot cheaper/efficient in these cases to actually do text interviews, then re-enact them on audio. Would make the audio version more efficient, too. (no "umms," corrections, cut-offs, miscommunications)
2266  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BOUNTY] split key wallet escrow - 1 BTC on: September 15, 2013, 12:24:29 PM
I'm curious why you'd want that over casascius' utility. It's fairly easy to use, so long as all parties are willing to try it, and there's much less trust involved.

Mainly for extendability, I'd like to go in the direction of 3-of-5 later on. Also, as far as I understand casascius' approach, it requires a lengthy process chain with sending invitations, accepting, sending on, etc. That's probably quite a hassle if all you want is a one-of-escrow for a smaller transaction.
Also, from a psychological point of view, a lengthy, complicated process does not inspire confidence.

Technically, though, the casascius tool is much more secure than what I'm looking for.
Aww, it's not that lengthy. Escrow generates two codes - one for buyer, one for seller. Seller uses code from escrow to generate another code ["SellerCode"] and the BTC address. SellerCode is sent to buyer, which he combines with his own escrow code to verify the BTC address. From there, it works like normal escrow, except buyer releases a code to seller instead of telling escrow to release funds (to redeem, seller combines the two escrow codes and the "SellerCode" in the utility for privkey).

Oh, well. I'm not very ambitious anymore, I guess. I hear you.  Smiley

AFAIK, you can't, anymore. I'm unsure why the option to delete your own threads was removed.

You also can't report your own threads so a moderator can see your request to delete it.

Your best bet is to replace the title and body with something like a period, so it's mostly blank, then lock the topic.

Wow. Ironically, the replies in this thread have finally convinced me to pay up and join out of worry there may be one big international blob heavily influencing Bitcoin development. Congrats, theymos. Huh

Will listen to debate and determine if fear is justified. ETA: Writing up a transcript, too - because why the fuck don't these people do transcripts? Seriously. Wtf.

ETA: The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (64000 characters). Yikes!

thanks for the replies. i've closed the program on 32 weeks for now. the size of block folder (%appdata%\Bitcoin\blocks) is 5.32 GB, but i'm sure it has used more than 15 GB of internet traffic. where has the rest of it gone?! please don't tell me to check my firewall or other app usage, i know it for certain! is there something like "wasted" in Bittorent?
It's possible you're acting as a "seed," passing on the blocks you've received to others. There's no way to limit how much bandwidth is used to share blocks in the client. If on Windows (unsure of compatibility on other OSes), you might want to consider an application like NetLimiter, which'd allow you both to limit UDP activity in Bitcoin and monitor how much bandwidth the client's consuming (it provides graphs for data collected over time, too -- practically essential for anyone on a capped connection to determine where the bandwidth hogs really are). For reference, the Bitcoin client shouldn't need more than a 1kb/s upload allotment to download the blockchain. Netlimiter's useful in quite a few other applications, too (I've been looking for a FOSS alternative for doze, though, if anyone knows of any).

If it really is downloading that much for so little good information, there's probably a problem with a peer sending you loads of bad data, or a RAM/HDD/connectivity problem on your side. It'd be interesting (and maybe useful) to learn more - but for your sake, you might want to consider using a lite client like Electrum.

Don't be dense. They'd use off-chain transactions.

2278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone know what happened to knightmb and his 371,000 BTC? on: September 13, 2013, 02:02:48 AM
There's a lot of mixing involved with the fraud address... Here are a couple of the eventual locations: https://blockchain.info/address/1Kf1nT7jQnFC7N3tSdgg5qKGTV4MucfpBg | https://blockchain.info/address/16CvEwBTGfE7zhxKK7dzQEqCG6pSHXfLRe |

The first one has an input from Theymos, so maybe he could shed light. There's not really any way to verify MB actually holds any of that... They could be donations, assuming he's even 1FRAUD - which wouldn't make sense to connect with the donation address. So many mysteries!

1Kf1nT7jQnFC7N3tSdgg5qKGTV4MucfpBg is John's forum treasury address. Which of the inputs is linked to the suspicious address in question? I can tell you the source of most of them.
Ugh. I don't know why I didn't post the chain the first time.

Okay. I'm starting @ https://blockchain.info/tx/7d8bfcb9eb523b7fb7357efce70f18f6ff5e74817f4bebe8a8994568f87d953f

So 1AFaq82AyuDbTTeK9FEn1Tuza863WuD3Ss is probably the most interesting. 1GYfSuX3ZkRYRXcwpeY3ULgsiWheQVH4jw taint is on 1Kf1. It's a long list and many of them look like legitimate spends. A lot of them go to SDice, but maybe that's normal.


1FRAUD controls 1Cxob6LwNk9WAztRidTjNDSuaSzhMEfYj7 -- information is given by https://blockchain.info/tx/7d8bfcb9eb523b7fb7357efce70f18f6ff5e74817f4bebe8a8994568f87d953f , too

This is a much shorter list, and one ID could get us very close to the controller of 1FRAUD. None of this necessarily means anything, though. Could be a bunch of individuals trading with each other... old addresses need to be connected better to newer ones -- this is a crapshoot. (brb, something paying money needing attention -- I'll look more into whether any of that can be connected in ~30m)

I can do. 2.5% under BitstampLast for pricing. .1BTC fee for any refund process required (per site). You pay escrow.

Valid for up to $500 in additional purchases after two listed in OP.
