yeah, the reach was typo correction fail Sad

The leading Canadian BTC exchange right now is cavirtex, with 1.2K BTC of volume. How are you going to compete with them? Your site design is certainly better, but you need to provide tangible benefits if you want anyone to use your exchange. The biggest downside of cavirtex is their fees (3% trade fee + $6 for withdraw), so having low fees will definitely make me switch.

Thanks guys
Do we know the ratio outgoing-only/upnp enabled clients?

1. get a list of peers using getpeerinfo RPC command
2. use telnet to open a TCP connection
3. if the tcp connection succeeds, the screen will turn black, and will eventually boot you back to command prompt. if it fails, it will say connection refused or similar.

sounds like your wallet is corrupt

1. backup your wallet
2. get pywallet
3. extract all the private keys
4. delete wallet (not the backup!)
5. import your keys

I have had the 0.8.0-qt client crash on me twice in the past couple of weeks with the cryptic message "Failed to write block." I'm on Mac OS X and have plenty of disk space. I'm upgrading to 0.8.1 as we speak, but the OP spoke of this happening with 0.8.1, so I doubt it will fix the problem.

you can always delete everything in the bitcoin data directory except for wallet.dat (and maybe bitcoin.conf if you have it), and allow the client to redownload from scratch.

You aren't offline when building the blockchain and I ask as I had similar problem which seemed to be solved when I changed from chrome. Every time I try using chrome the wallet crashes.

lolwut

the client always tries to maintain 8 outgoing connections. this can be done even behind NAT/router
the client always listens for incoming connections, accepting until the connection limit is reached
the client advertises itself on the network, allowing other clients to open outbound connections to it

If your client's ability to accept incoming connections is hampered (NAT, router, firewall, improper port-forwarding, ISP restrictions), other clients will not be able to connect to you. The only way to exceed 8 connections is to have incoming connections (or editing the source to open more outgoing connections *not recommended*)

I really don't understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to make your own custom client that communicates with other clients? If that's the case, look into how bitcoin communicates with other clients over tcp. Alternately, run your own bitcoin instance and query that.

the pool uses a large averaging window. wait a few hours and it will be more accurate.

don't bother.

Is there any step by step guide on how to configure more than one bitcoin server that accepts bitcoin-rpc commands?

windows:

1. go to %appdata% (or wherever it's located for your OS)
2. make a copy of bitcoin folder, and rename it something like "bitcoin2"
3. put this in bitcoin.conf (create if it doesn't exist).
%appdata%\bitcoin:

Code:

rpcuser=user1
rpcpassword=mypassword1

%appdata%\bitcoin2

Code:

rpcuser=user2
rpcpassword=mypassword2
port=8335
rpcport=8334

4. open the folder where bitcoind.exe is installed, shift-right click the folder, "open command window here"
5. start bitcoind.exe
6. bitcoind.exe -datadir=%appdata%\bitcoin2

congratulations. now you have 2 servers running. rpc port for server 1 is 8332, server 2 is 8334

check your temperatures (use gpu-z, msi afterbuner), and make sure it's below 90C
run benchmarking programs to make sure your card is stable

I'll trust it for up to $50 worth of bitcoins, but I will never store any money on it. What's the point of that when you can run a lite/thin client on your desktop?

Trust it with as much value as you'd feel comfortable carrying around as physical cash in your wallet on a daily basis.

Password should be at least 30 random characters and generated by a password generator, which itself is protected by a high-entropy passphrase.

30 characters is extreme, unless you're trying to store thousands of dollars' worth of bitcoins.

It's closed source

For good and obvious reasons until their out of beta and stable.

and what are they trying to accomplish by doing that? security through obscurity? bitcoin is still beta, but it's open source as well.

there seems to be an infinite supply of those chips:

bitcoin is greed

No, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Greed requires emotion and I don't think Bitcoin is capable of that.
