Haha, thanks for the suggestion, but it's a little too late for me.  I already have like 7,000 lines of C++ code, imported into python through SWIG.  However, I do python development in other projects, too, so I may keep your recommendations in mind.

I had never used SWIG before starting this effort, and now that I have battled it and come out victorious, I'm quite impressed with it.  It understands most of the "nominal" C++ programming structures, and usually does a good job of mapping every C++ function and class (with methods) to identical python calls.  There's a few quirks with it, but i got most of it ironed with one afternoon of frustration. 

But no need to pollute Sam's thread with this any longer.  Just throwing it out my positive recommendation for SWIG.  It's been a lifesaver for BTC client development in python.


Hi. Looking for some PyQT bitcoin client I found your project. Seriously dropping Windows support? I guess Windows is here to stay at least for some more years.
Last commit 2 months ago? How's your motivation?

I think the OP left bitcointalk over 2 years ago. His last action was in July of 2011. As for the commits, maybe he is still working on it, but he's not going to reply to your questions here.
2783  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Introducing Hive, a beautiful new wallet for Mac OS X on: September 29, 2013, 08:50:57 PM
This client looks absolutely amazing, and it's a job well done. Shame that it's Mac OS X only, though. Some of the features that this wallet has would be pretty useful to me.  Undecided

Thank you very much indeed. May I ask which features you mean? And which platform are you most interested in having Hive on, ultimately?

The apps feature and the exchanges feature. A way to buy and sell Bitcoin within a wallet would be amazing, and the apps would make a lot of things easy also.

Ultimately, Windows. I think that if Hive was also made for Windows, you'd probably get a lot more users.
2784  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin Bank Robbing Movie on: September 29, 2013, 08:47:05 PM
I would imagine a more Hollywood-esque approach.

Bankrobber 1 & 2, both wearing Guy Fawkes mask & suit. Bankrobber 1 keeping the people at the bank in check, Bankrobber 2 sitting at a laptop, copying files onto an USB stick that looks like an AM Block Errupter:

Bankrobber 1: "Hurry up man, we gotta go!"
Bankrobber 2: "I still have to download the Blockchain... 4 days of transactions to go... 3 days... 2 days..."
Bankrobber 1: "Screw the blockchain!!! Just grab all the private keys you can and dismount the miner!"
Bankrobber 2: "1 day... DONE!"
Bankrobber 1: "GO GO GO"

Bankrobber 1 & 2 head for the escape vehicle, cut.

Also, one of the bankrobbers is Brad Pitt, the other some underdog newcomer.

Oh God, this shit sounds brilliant. Maybe in 2025, when Bitcoin is popular, this movie idea might actually be worth something at Hollywood Wink

I don't think that Discourse is going to be the best for bitcointalk in general. Maybe for coders and such, but only for that.

DiscussBitcoin is up, but SMF is a bitch and I'm currently trying to fix a ton of bugs, including one reoccurring bug which hates the forum.

Hey, I didn't state what you specifically had to do, even with an auto-refresh script all you have to do is leave your computer on overnight, right?

Smash it on your forehead for 0.2?

nothing to hurt myself lol
Wuss. Check out this "badass."

First, we tried it with a friend's phone. I stapled myself 3 times, but the quality was horrible.
Then, I tried it alone with a camera I found in my garage. I stapled myself 5 times, but the camera didn't save it, because it needed an SD card.
Next, we did it with another friends phone who claimed his phone took great videos. +5 staples. +1 bad quality video.
Finally, my friend took a video with a good camera. 11 more staples, but we lost the SD card.
So, we did it again with the same camera. 6 more staples, and we found the SD card with the previous video.

So, that's a total of 30 staples, if I did the math correctly, for these two crappy short videos. My favorite part is "Welcome to staples!"

I should start watching JD more often. It's actually a very entertaining form of entertainment, in the form of watching addicted gamblers lose enough money to buy a house.
2789  Economy / Lending / Re: Stunna's 0% interest mini loans on: September 29, 2013, 08:34:26 PM
I have over one day of online time

Over one day? NO WAY? OMG YOU'RE SO ELITE!



Also, you can just leave your computer on overnight. Online time means nothing.

Did you miss where I saI'd I was fucking with you?

You shouldn't try fucking with a 13 year old, you might get nicked by the coppers for pedophilia, Darktongue.

You shouldn't have started this... ;) Loljk I'll stop completely owning you now.
2792  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: candoo tried to scam on: September 29, 2013, 08:16:03 PM
Let me gather some additional intelligence before I post my statement here. Approximately 24-48 Hours until I release my statement.

Is his watch stopped?



Nah, I'm pretty sure he legged it with the funds. He would've scammed in 2012 with his begging thread if given the chance.
2793  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammer TerraHash, TerraHash.com on: September 29, 2013, 08:11:45 PM
TerraHashes response...

Some points to consider before accusing us of scam:
1. We stopped taking orders as soon as we had enough orders to account for the chips we ordered. If we were a scam, we would have continued taking orders and could have easily raised double the money we did.
2. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on components, heat sinks, cases, boards, cables. For people saying that its "only a few resistors", look at the BOM provided by BkkCoins. It says components cost around $23 for a K16. And this does not include the heat sinks (~$14), boards etc. For each K16, the components including the heat sink, board, power cables, etc. cost us around $45. And we were prepared to assemble around 5,000 K16s (for 80,000 chips). There goes $250,000. Why 80,000 chips? We had ordered 40,000 of our own and had at least 4 other parties who were going to get their boards assembled from us. But guess what? Tired of the delays from Yifu, they all ended up getting a refund from Avalon.
3. We spent so much time and effort trying to source the really hard to get components. You can go read the Klondike thread where everyone is discussing the shortage of the PICs, the IR3895s, and others. But we have all the components, we even overpaid to get some of them. Show me a scammer who would do that.
4. For the components that even we could not get, we invested a lot of time to search for alternates. For example, the Power Inductor 38L361C was not available anywhere, so we instead bought SPM10040T-R36M170. But the latter was not pin compatible with the former. So we ended up changing the circuit board. I will publish the updated KiCad files. Would a scammer go through all this trouble? Anyone with half a brain can answer this.

If we were a scam, we would have disappeared on June 20th.

Why going out of business?
I am really sick and tired of all the scam accusations. I appreciate all the negative criticism that the community does, resulting in catching scams in early stages in order to protect the newer members of the community. But baseless scam accusations from day one have taken their toll on our company. The FUD spread by a few members (along with the delay from Yifu) lead to a lot of refund requests. The result of which was that, if we continued with the project, we would have been left with inventory worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in our hands. And it would have been almost impossible to sell it at a price where we could even break even. Even if nobody asked for a refund, we would still have been left with about $125,000 worth of useless components (read point 4 above). But with about half of our customers asking for a refund, we would be stuck with another $350,000 worth of inventory that we couldn't have sold for more than $150,000, putting us under red for over $300,000. I am sorry, but I am not running a charity. It made much more sense to ask for a refund from Yifu and pay back as much as possible, without going into debt.

Why only a 50% refund?
With people who paid with PayPal taking a 100% refund, it leaves a lesser share for everyone else. I am sorry, but that's how it is. We do not want to be owing hundreds of thousands to PayPal. Also, with some customers contacting our bank with fraud accusations, Chase has shut down our bank accounts. In my opinion they were just looking for an excuse. They have already contacted us in the past, asking for more information about our business, just because we were a "Bitcoin related business."

Patience is a virtue
Now, you can either be content with the turnout of the whole fiasco and stop attacking me personally, and wait for your refunds. Or, you continue accusing me of being a scammer, and continue publishing my addresses publicly and tarnishing my image. Its up to you. Some of you have already done a lot of irreparable damage, not just to me but to all the TerraHash customers. And please remember, that there is only so much that I can take. If pushed into a corner, I will defend myself.

Sigh, so people are taking a 50% haircut. Based on what they've said, I think their story of all the complaints and shit is legit, but it still sucks for those who paid with Bitcoin. It does seem like the FUD spreaders have caused this, but then again, there's probably more than the surface shows.
2794  Other / Meta / Re: neg trust with 0 risked BTC shouldn't change color of trust rating on: September 29, 2013, 08:07:38 PM
Or maybe create trust categories? Such as, when you rate someone, you have the categories:

  • Trade - positive trust
  • Warning - neutral trust
  • Malware - negative trust
  • Scam - negative trust

Regardless of risked amount, although of course a high risked amount positive trust is worth more than a 0-risk positive trust, like before.

Omfg are you checking out guys DC?!?!

This guy is ugly, also.

Sorry, I'm not into ugly motherfuckers. Don't get your hopes up, Darktongue, it's bad enough that you want a 13 year old.
2796  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If the American Economy Tanks... on: September 29, 2013, 08:03:10 PM
It all depends to what degree the economy will fail too, if it failed to the level that Internet access was compromised BTC could be hurt.

Of course. No internet, or at least no form of, at a basic level, data communication, and you have no continuing blockchain.

Why don't you make some replicas yourself by getting the recipe from chipug, then taste them? Wink

Hello. Welcome to Bitcointalk. Please do not visit the cave to the south. There is a badbear in there.

There's also a grue lurking around somewhere in the dark.

You're likely to be eaten by it.

Nakowa is a compulsive gambler, he will be back. He won't stay away for long.

You are allowed to sell accounts, but many people look down on it, and some people may even distrust you for it.
