Mike, Farsi is spoken natively in (according to Wikipedia) Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Bahrain, and Azerbaijan.

I don't understand why you're defending the ban so hard.
262  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: jgarzik goes berzerk in #bitcoin-dev, wtf? on: November 30, 2012, 08:18:18 PM
All of these are off-topic for #bitcoin-dev and I would expect persistence in discussing them after being asked not to would probably be met with similar results.

So would an in-depth discussion of the latest episode of Honey Boo Boo, or whether Anderson Cooper is gay, or the requirements to get into medical school.

Ok, so after the warning if you changed the topic to translating Bitcoin into a foreign language, should that be met with a ban?

Quote
13:22:34 <jgarzik> On topic or /ban.
13:23:00 <ThomasV_> jeremias: let us discuss how to translate bitcoin-qt in farsi
13:23:05 * Joric votes for topic
13:23:38 <jeremias> ThomasV_: yes, I've got couple of guys who would be probably willing to do it
13:23:49 <jeremias> multibit is probably already translated to Farsi, any other clients?
13:24:03 * jeremias was kicked by jgarzik (encouraging illegal activity)
13:26:07 * jgarzik sets mode: +b *!*@*.fi

Note the warning, then the switch to on topic discussion, and then the ban. In fact, it looks like Jeff was so zealous in the wielding of his banhammer that he initially banned everyone from Finnish ISPs.

Unless the prosecution made up the photos of them circulating on the Internet, I'd have to disagree.  They aren't replicas, but they are similar enough in style to be plausible as US dollars.

This looks more like monopoly money than federal reserve notes to me.

Ok, I found something that's broken. When I try to sign a message with a key that's in a watching only wallet, it crashes hard with this in the debug log:

Code:
Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

Does armory support such a feature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24784.0 ?

Armory does not support coin-control, but I think it will not be terribly difficult to support.  I just have some other priorities.  I *do* plan to add it when I'm feeling stuck with some major other feature upgrade Smiley

What about killerstorm's changes to support colored coins? Might those be a starting point?

You are not in the same position as him.  His name is on the front page of Bitcoin.org as a developer and yours is not.  His personal freedom is put at risk by being willing to discuss these topics on the record, yours is not.

I sort of agree with you, but he didn't have to ban Jeremias in order to not discuss the topic himself.
266  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: November 30, 2012, 03:44:00 PM
I just want to say that I've been using the latest updates from the git threading branch without issue.

I've done online and offline transactions (creating and broadcasting only, haven't updated the offline signing install yet - building for the rasbpi is slow), creating new keys and receiving coins for both online and offline wallets.

I think this goes against the spirit of the game. If he defaults on you, the circle isn't broken, but the purpose was to run the circle until it gets broken, or hits 100.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Sent 2.26 btc to 13373CuvtwQGgDWYv28pm3mTxy2bGS5U4D

FINA-FUCKING-lY

I'm really sorry about this guys.  Really.

Also a moot point. The circle continues!

Instead of sending btc to you and selling the rest, coin base sold all of it.  I have to buy it back and will then send it.

I will offer you an interest free loan, paid directly to the next recipient in the game, provided you agree to pay me back within two weeks to the following address, and accept a scammer tag if you do not meet this deadline.

Repayment address: 1By9RTi5guPKtV11mrTh1nkGGwvqPEKwCn

Do you accept?
269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who mined block 210,000? I want your autograph! on: November 28, 2012, 04:53:44 PM
Was any message engraved after all? How can I view messages in blocks btw? Tongue

That's not what this was about. Tuxavant wanted the person or pool who mined the 210,000th block to sign his message with the key that owned the coinbase of that block.

Waiting for BTC Guild to get back at me and sign my text.

I thought it was Slush's pool that found the block?

Yes, I admit that economics can be counterintuitive. It helps clarify things when you consider specific alternative options.

(i.e. in order to avoid being taxed, I will ... )
Then check if your strategy involves spending. If it does, the government has gotten its wish.

Just so I understand, you are completely serious in your belief that raising the required transaction fee will encourage spending?
272  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain = Powerful Tool for Keynesian Monetary Policy on: November 21, 2012, 03:08:06 AM
Suppose the central bank controls 51% of hashing power and wants to achieve a stimulus equivalent to a 3% increase in inflation.

Simply demand a txn fee equal to 3% of coin-age (with age measured in years). This is just like instantaneously increasing the inflation rate by 3%.

Yes. To stimulate spending, you must increase the cost of spending money. GENIUS!

Oh wow, I had no idea it was going to be small enough to fit on a key chain... that's pretty fantastic.

I think I like the modified eyelet design better.
274  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is stealing Bitcoins illegal? on: November 18, 2012, 12:24:57 AM
Does a Bitcoin address have value?

I would change this to say "Does a Bitcoin private key have value", to which the answer is yes, because only with the key you can sign a transaction transferring the value stored in the block chain.
275  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: colored bitcoins/distributed exchanges proof-of-concept on: November 16, 2012, 05:03:54 PM
I thought he wanted to keep them colored after passing through the coinbase. Is not impossible, but not particularly interesting.

I don't think this would be possible. Coloring can work with multiple inputs and outputs because you create a standard method of assigning them, order based coloring. You can then map colored inputs and outputs 1:1. However, with a coinbase transaction there's just a single output with a value of 50 + sum(fees). How would you determine the color of that output?
276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Intelipaper Bit-card ? on: November 16, 2012, 04:52:02 PM
So, on the USB drive would be a lightweight bitcoin client along with a private key controlling 1 BTC? Sounds feasible.
277  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: colored bitcoins/distributed exchanges proof-of-concept on: November 15, 2012, 09:12:14 PM
I thought the miner was going to receive the fee colored.

No, because fees don't connect from one transaction to the coinbase of their including block (they don't even have to be included, really), like normal amounts do from one output to another input.

Does the One S have the Micro Arc Oxidation finish?

I'm almost interested in the One S, but the PenTile screen, non replaceable battery, and lack of SD card sort of kill it for me. First world problems!

I need to double check things but I'm pretty sure it's entirely within the power of states to do this.

Have you heard of a little thing called the Civil War? It paints a vivid picture of the Federal government's stance on state secession.

Slush, this is so awesome. Any very rough estimate on when the Raspberry Pi shield will be available? Before or after the standalone device?
