Já agora, as instruções são as mesmas do Bitinstant, certo?

Found the ansewer...  Roll Eyes Anouncements é um link deveras interessante!!!  Tongue

Pois... um dia vou ter tempo para fazer a parte técnica e documentar, mas quando tenho de escolher um... Smiley

De qualquer forma, qualquer dúvida pergunta aqui ou no thread apropriado.

O meu robot favorito... da minha favorita cada vez mais incorrectamente chamada triologia de cinco livros!!  Tongue

r9LH8oWsyxJPEapMk5w9sQP7c45M5adbj4

Muitíssimo obrigado! assim que colocar a ordem correcta já tos devolvo!
Abraço!

E pela referência à trilogia de cinco, podes ficar com eles Wink

Agora a sério, em vez de devolveres, e visto que estás a brincar com o ripple, faz antes uso do dividendrippler.com como gateway. Eu sou o technical lead desse projecto e quantos mais a usar, melhor (e não só porque o lucro sobe Smiley )

Alguém se meteu no XRP (Ripple)?
Fiz um poop ontem e troquei as mãos... em vez de vender, comprei e fiquei estupidamente abaixo do limite de 125 XRP... (aquela bosta vendeu-me XRP até ficar com apenas 66)
Alguém me arranja (ou empresta) 60 para desbloquear o enguiço, por favor?

Só porque tens o Marvin como avatar, manda o teu endereço que eu 'desenguiço'... "oh, but what's the use?..."

Graet (of ozcoin pool fame) is also a great choice for escrow.

Where are you shipping from? I can't seem to load you site to check for myself. I would also take one for 15BTC, maybe 2.

still good to your word if we get these rpc commands added? Smiley

Most certainly! I'll, of course, need proper source code so I can diff and compile myself, but if you can put this together (at least) my part of the bounty is yours.

Can anyone explain to me why this bet was refunded?

2013-05-21 17:56:30       54c9a7c5    92ec3918    Martingale - [EXIT]    0.00700425    -----    -----    -----    -----    refunded

It looks like any ending in 25 seem to be, but the calculator tool says it is valid as less than 64000 2x exit point.

Thanks.

Sure thing. Martingale [EXIT] places 0.001 wagers when playing with BTC, so starting with your deposit of 0.00700425 it will try to place a bet to reach 0.00800425. Now, the special thing about EXIT compared to the other Martingales is that it quits early, as soon as your balance isn't enough to reach the next prize step. Each step adds 0.001 to the target outcome.

With the wager settings (425 satoshis, 1.019 multiplier, exit 2x wager, which is actually the default), in order to go from 0.00700425 to 0.00800425 you need to win 0.001. Since the win multiplier is 1.019 you'll need to bet ~0.0526, which, if you win, will give you 0.0526x1.019 ~= 0.0536, or 0.001 more than you have bet.

But you don't have 0.0526 to bet, only 0.007, so the EXIT is triggered. It's a refund because no wager was ever placed.

Hope that clears things a bit Smiley

Wow your responses above are filled with emotion. Looks like I struck a nerve in the emotion you have with your ripple investment?

Just as I thought you won't post the code. Okay now I know where you stand lol.

Yep, you struck a nerve, the wasting time is a waste one Smiley And you keep poking it!

You never did answer my question, though; why would I post the code? It isn't mine to post, you can access it in the exact same way I did and what would it prevent you from saying "yes, but how do we know that is the real code" unless you got it from the real guys?

See, "and your mother!" again. But yes, now that you know where I stand I am unfortunately reminded where you stand and that my expectation (hope) that you were really trying to understand, not just slander and troll, are not met and this was all a waste of time. Oh well, live and learn.

Oh, and by the way, my investment in ripple was only one of time, that for me is more valuable than most currency. At least with ripple there's a chance it pays off. You, not so much, but thank you for reminding me that forum saying about trolls and food.
268  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Ripple™ is against everything Bitcoin on: May 20, 2013, 05:43:02 PM

Insider information. Lol reminds me of walstreet crooks.

You have not proven anything. The burden of proof that ripple is open sourced is on you not me. I merely am challenging the claims made by ripple as well as you.

The burden of proof of what exactly? I'm not in a quest for a higher good. You must have misunderstood me, I don't give a crap what others think, never did, I just try to help where I can, and that is what I have been trying to do here. I did not make any claims (feel free to prove me wrong if I did, it was never my intention).

Let's assume you have the source code. Why not post it publicly then? I will review it myself if you do that.

Why should I post it? And why should I trust you to be able to review it if you can't even shoot the ripple dudes an email requesting access before crying scam?

Lets see if you can escape the grips of the devs of ripple in my request.

Truly if you believe ripple should be open sourced you will do this.

I've been called a troll on this forum 1000's of times for merely speaking the truth or calling out other people's bullshit. I am calling out OpenCoin's bullshit.

I know ripple will be open sourced, it will not survive otherwise. I am also telling the truth, I really don't care if you troll, speak truth, eat with your feet or even worst, use windows as your primary OS. Really, I don't think less of you for that.

What bugs me a bit is that you are not processing the information passed on to you, instead just replying "oh yeah? and your mother!" which is not the best line of argument I've seen from you, to be honest.

Let me make this as clear as possible... I'm not trying to change your opinion, I have nothing to gain from that and I might even have something to lose as I need all flaws and issues of Ripple (and Bitcoin for that matter) to be as public as possible lest my investments on both are in peril. I was just offering some insight but you mistaken me for a Ripple zealot. I am not, and I'd love to be shown you are not an anti-Ripple zealot, but you are doing a great job proving otherwise.

This is becoming personal, not really the type of argument I enjoy the most unfortunately.
269  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Ripple™ is against everything Bitcoin on: May 20, 2013, 05:26:47 PM
This reminds me of RealSolid and his closed sourced solid coin and microcash that promised the source and it never really materialized.

Anyone that has to lie by saying something is decentralized and isn't is scum.

Misterbigg and the other ripple kool-aid drinkers have no facts to base their claimed on. All they can say is to look at the FAQs or say that the devs seem knowledgeable. Trusting humans has counter party risk. You guys may as well invest in the Dow or us bonds.

You know, I was only explained the kool-aid reference a few months ago Smiley

Now, as the one saying 'devs seem knowledgeable' I feel the need to disclose I have the source, am running a node and am a coder myself by trade, thus I don't think 'devs seem knowledgeable', I know they are. And refusing to accept the opinion of others while at the same time refusing to pursue proof of your own opinion seems to fit pretty well with your kool-aid drinking theory. I have insider information, you hold the cool beverage can :p

But seriously, you are becoming a bit radical when you put everyone that doesn't share your view in the same basket. I do value your opinions and I love a good argument, but your are simply trolling now.
270  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Ripple™ is against everything Bitcoin on: May 20, 2013, 05:10:41 PM

Just don't lie to the community that the project is Open Source and Decentralized, when it clearly isn't now.
 

I have to agree that it is not cool to lie in that way. Funny how I never read things in that exact way, I always thought it was going to be Open Sourced, eventually. Obviously I've been directed to where they blatantly state it already is, point taken.

Decentralized I still think it is. Decentralized as in no central point of failure. As in consensus based transaction processing where OpenCoin by itself will not be able to change the outcome of a ledger. As in a decentralized processing system. Now, if decentralized is supposed to refer to the coding decisions and effort, then I guess you are right, at least for the moment.

But does all that mean it is less of a system, and will have less of an impact or usefulness? Not for me, it won't. Ripple and Bitcoin are two completely different beasts, complimentary if I understand things correctly, and I intend to see this thing through. If it fails, we all get scammed or robbed, well, no lesson is too expensive if you learn it.
271  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Ripple™ is against everything Bitcoin on: May 20, 2013, 04:52:43 PM
it takes a broad understanding of a variety of disciplines to get your head around Bitcoin; math, cryptography, economics, money, game theory.

And I know a thing or two about all of these. And for your information: all of these either have a strong mathematical component or are a branch of mathematics.

So back on topic lol. Stop measuring ur dick in terms of math and computer science.

On topic: your claims about XRP destruction can not be proven 100% without the original source code for what is being used for ripple.

Have you requested access to the source?

Why should I?

Is it publicly posted?

How do I know they aren't releasing a previous version even if indie ask for it.

There is a big difference between it being open sourced and gaining access to view the code.

One is exclusive and the other is truly open sourced.



I'm not saying you have to, but many of the claims floating around this thread are based on the absence of source code. The code isn't open source yet, there's no misunderstanding there, but it is available to many outside OpenCoin, and the network is currently supported at least partially by the gateway and indie devs, so OpenCoin does not really have the option of changing the rules and have that go unnoticed.

If looking at the source code would satisfy some of people's doubts then I'd say that's a small price to pay, requesting access to it, instead of bitching about how it is completely opaque. Now, the claims of it not being open source are obviously plenty substantiated and that will need to change eventually, but still I find it most people are complaining just for the sake of complaining when there isn't any movement towards getting things straighten out.

My personal bias is that OpenCoin has the right to keep it closed for as long as they wish and only open it selectively until they feel it is ready. Everyone has the option of not using Ripple at all, and even to complain about it as much as they feel needed, but the sum total of these cries isn't going to amount to much technically. Socially, sure, it might scare people off, but it also provides plenty of visibility to Ripple and the right minded people will do their own due diligence before deciding who's right. One thing I can tell you, there has been an enormous effort put into developing ripple and it really feels like the people behind it are amazing and capable, but that's my personal experience, not something I took from what people say around here.

holding however billion they are holding onto as a company or private individuals should be a big concern to anyone wishing to adopt.

Just the opposite. I'm glad OpenCoin is holding a bunch of XRP, because if they do well then I'll do well (I own XRP as well). This aligns their interests with mine.



Excuse me, but this is pure madness.

Right now XRP's are being traded at roughly 54 XRP per $1. That's crazy. I mean, 50K XRP where handed out to anybody asking, and many users bought forums accounts to obtain hundred of thousands of XRP's, if not millions.

Well, today the 50K XRP's given away to anybody who asked are worth roughly $1,000. Heck, just to try it out, yesterday I bought 10BTC of XRP myself, and that's more or less the quantity of XRP's I got for my REAL btc. That's crazy, pure speculative mania. This would mean that Opencoin has TODAY a potential gain of +$1B (yes, billion), when their software is still in Beta phase, and didn't prove ANYTHING. Of course they could never "cash out" that amount of XRP's at this stage, there's still no market for it. But still, you can see how insane is this.

I always said it from the very first moment: Ripple is a genius idea for their creators, is the ultimate get-rich-quick scheme (for them and only for them). But I foresee something in the future: as soon as they want to "cash out", they have such an insame amount of Ripples that they will crash the market with a super small dump. And, in fact, they are the ultimate manipulator in the XRP market: nobody will ever hold as many coins as they do. But they are also creating a monster: all those accumulating hundred of thousands/millions of XRP's will dump them and crash the market sooner or later...

I bet that we will see a steady increase in XRP's prices, there will be a bubble, and shortly after Ripple is finally out of Beta and open to the "grand public" there will be massive XRP dumps everywhere, and the last ones in will be left holding the bag.

So what would happen to price if OpenCoin decided to dump a mere million? It seems to me looking at going price without looking at volume and depth is just another way to run a smear campaign.

Yeah, we most certainly need to get a better workflow there. All ideas are welcome at this stage, of course, and the only thing we really want to avoid is forcing users to register with passwords and personal data although we might end up allowing that option in addition to the system in place.

The one change I haven't introduced yet but is in the make is getting away with the 1 XRP fixed value and instead using a random value for registration/change. This makes it slightly better but doesn't resolve the problem, of course.

Things I can think of so quickly:
- when in edit state mention the IP address that issued the edit and when.
- if the IP address doesn't match your IP address print a big fat red warning message.
- during the period your account is in edit state, don't allow another edit. (is this already the case?)

IP address warnings are not trivial to implement given the current architecture of the system, but certainly something I'll try to push for.
There already is a single edit per 5 minute period limit, so you don't have someone change the addresses behind your back before you have a chance to ack the change.

How's this for a plan? I need the following RPC calls added:
- importprivkey
- dumpprivkey
- importaddress (from codeshark's PR, I can dig the number if needed)
- listunspent
- createrawtransaction
- decoderawtransaction
- getrawtransaction
- sendrawtransaction
- signrawtransaction
- signmessage
- verifymessage
- listaddressgroupings (I can live without this one, but it is useful)

I also need all the tx to be available for querying, not just those for wallet addresses (I think that's already the way it is).

I have a new idea. These would be most important imho:
- importprivkey
- dumpprivkey
- signmessage
- verifymessage


What? Where did you take that those would be the most important *for my needs*? Smiley

So, in a nutshell no, that will not be enough, not even close to it, for my needs. I will, however, be glad to tip anyone that pushes those 4 rpc calls into namecoin.
276  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why Ripple™ is against everything Bitcoin on: May 19, 2013, 12:36:35 PM
With Ripple, 1 BTC-Bitstamp is 1 BTC-Bitstamp. You lose them when Bitstamp [gets hacked | by owners | raided by DHS].

Most important, people should know.

And again, FUD. Yes, what is said is absolutely true, but put that in context:

With Bitstamp, 1 BTC is 1 BTC-Bitstamp
With MtGox, 1 BTC is 1 BTC-Mtgox
With any online wallet...
With any exchange...
With coins you lend your friend...

This is in no way a ripple thing, even though it is also true with ripple.
277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: May 17, 2013, 08:17:29 PM
I didn't think the merged mining issue through, you are correct. I was going for "no need to allow mining" but obviously full merged POW is needed to verify blocks, so that's moot.

So the only viable option is improve on the current 0.3.50 codebase, I guess. I would still think it possible to hook into the latest bitcoind to support NMC, but that's likely much less trivial than I assumed from the start.

How's this for a plan? I need the following RPC calls added:

if i managed to recoup some costs for bounty( Smiley ?) and donations.. we can have a look at the old namecoin code.


My part of the "unofficial bounty" is completely unrelated to the work you are doing, unfortunately. I'll be glad to spice it up a bit more if someone can commit to do what I need done soon, otherwise I'll end up doing it myself as soon as I can find the time.

Reiterating my needs once more: I need namecoind (command line daemon, don't care for GUI) to be rebased on top of a current bitcoind source code so I have access to the newer RPC calls and to allow easy tracking of bitcoin development to leverage the amazing work being done there constantly. All else is sugar, although said sugar is certainly important to increase adoption that is not my current priority.

Also, I will accept paying the bounty for a working namecoind as described above even if it doesn't have the merged mining stuff in, as that is something well served afaik with the outdated client.

If instead of a bounty there's someone willing to take this task for a set price I'll be happy to chip in with NMC, BTC, XRP, LTC and/or TRC. Just state your price and expected time to delivery and we can try and fund that (but ultimately only paid after delivery, though I'll be glad to put the 'prize' in escrow)
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: May 17, 2013, 02:13:04 PM
I have no idea is nelisky is trolling, but I know for sure zamgo is for whatever reason. 

I know he knows where the heck to find the sources. ( https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin )

The mac build is just an update to the one already featured on http://dot-bit.org/  , and the windows build is similar  as what I used to do.  Just in this case someone at least updated it already.


That's new, being hinted as a troll. Look, I'm sure you mean well and everyone will know that you just meant you compiled the latest from namecoin git but that's not what I read on your post, I read it as "I altered the code, improved it somehow, here's a shiny binary and no reference to the source code".

Now that you explained I know that was not the case, you didn't change anything, just compiled. Fine, but a set of instructions on how to build it would be much better received.

I can quickly cook a namecoin version for windows/mac with a small easter egg added and you have no way of verifying, and you know the type of easter eggs that are common around here, right?

Be cool, and stay safe. Distributing binaries is a major no-no in most cases, and advocating it even if your intentions and code are the best will teach users to trust binaries referenced from threads, and that usually ends in "help, my wallet has been stolen and I don't know why" kind of posts.

The way redeeming works has changed, where we used to charge whatever fee the network would require for a transaction we are now only charging a fixed fee, which for now will be the minimum fee required:

BTC - 0.0005
LTC - 0.1000
TRC - 0.0000

We will cover any extra fees for sending transactions. The up to date fees are available at https://dividendrippler.com/fees
