I'm Argentinian. I don't know if we're going into a new collapse, but I'm embracing BTC from a long time now. But I hope for a quiet and easy transition where everything goes well for everybody...

And another reason not to use windows with valuable data...
Any other OS just as vulnerable to trojan horses if users installs the horses themselves.

True. But almost every horse out there is targeting windows users. So, at least by now, being out of it is being safer...

And the diversity and complexity of the free software ecosystem also makes more difficult to make horses which works out of the box on every setup. Some users will choose gnome, some kde, some unity, some fluxbox, and so on... It's not that easy to write exploits which would work with every possible setup...

300 million windows 7 users are not going to switch to linux. The windows bitcoin client should be hardened as much as possible against these kinds of attacks, because windows users are by far the largest demographic. We need them if bitcoin is to succeed.

Of course, and developers are working hard on this. And hopefully, p2sh will be a step in that direction. But people have to know that they have safer choices...

A long term fix for the fees issue could be a protocol by which miners publish the service they can provide (estimated hashrate provided and corresponding time to process) and the minimal fee at which they are willing to take the job. So a gui user can select the most convenient offer for him when he sends the transaction. This way you can build a free market of transactions which will tend to autoregulate.

Hi,

We just experienced a system error that caused a few bad ticks. Everything is back to normal.

We are deciding on the compensations for affected customers. Compensation will be in the form of cash credits. So feel free to re-establish your positions if you're affected.

We apologize for the error and we will get back to you shortly. Thanks for understanding!


"Zhoutonged" gets whole new meanings everyday

That's not bad, if your stop order was filled so fast you can be glad, in most cases there is another race in that direction, not enough to take advantage of it but you would have taken higher losses.

The problem is that the order shouldn't have been executed because the market never reached the trigger price. Anyway, he quickly compensated the loss...

308  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many of you have been Zhoutonged? on: March 13, 2012, 08:59:26 PM
Zhoutonged!!!!

A stop of mine set at 4.49 got executed in bitcoinica at 4.4593 when the price and depth never got even close on the main market...

Ok, I see there was spikes on the quotes on bitcoinica (I don't like this manipulator), but there was such a dump in there, and only in there? There's something I'm missing or bitcoinica is an universe on his own?

Anyway, I'm just fooling around, trying to understand how it all works, but I'm sad I got short now, when I would like to stay long, and even became longer...
309  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoinica fail on: March 01, 2012, 06:12:48 PM
We all have being "zhoutonged"?

Strangely, before the crash there where a lot of "starfishs", and the usually huge spread had narrowed a lot...
310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing mining income on litecoin! on: November 15, 2011, 08:37:26 PM
Forwarding and processing transactions in litecoin competes with CPU power that could be better used for mining.

If you slow down the processing of transactions you break the whole point of generating blocks faster than BitCoin does.

The patch doesn't slow down transactions. It adjusts the fee system.

Glancing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers perhaps I can evolve the list of channels into using ISO 639-3 language codes instead of the currently used ISO 3166 country codes.

I think that both list may be useful. Country list is useful for people looking for other people who shares the same financial tools (having bank accounts on the same country allows them to merchant easily). Language codes list may be useful for people just looking for information in some specific language.

313  Bitcoin / Pools / p2pool - Decentralized, Absolutely DoS-Proof, Pool Hopping-Proof Pool [archival] on: August 17, 2011, 07:08:37 PM
Hi. I'm trying p2pool and I have some doubts. Last night I left it working on a server, with a couple of client miners, and this morning I found it was frozen. It seems that it got frozen after 12 hours of being running, or something like that...

Somebody else has experienced this kind of problem?

There was no logs useful for tracing the problem. It was just hanged somewhere on the normal loop, and I have had to SIGKILL the process and launch it again.
I'm guessing you're on Windows? I haven't been able to reproduce this problem. However, if you run p2pool with --debug, it will produce a lot more messages and log them all to debug.log, which might be useful.
No. It's a Debian server. Anyway, I'll let you know if the problem shows up again. I'm now running the git from yesterday.

Another doubt is: what happens with all of yesterday's work? It's remembered by the network and will be payed if a block is found, or it's wasted?
It's forgotten. p2pool pays the last N shares (PPLNS payout method, used by several other pools too), which is provably fair and invulnerable to pool hopping. It does seem kind of unfair now, but once p2pool grows to get one block per day, all work will get a payout.
So everytime I stop the pool -let's say to launch the latest git version, or to change the payment address- I lose all work of every worker? I think that this has to be worked out. I understand PPLNS, and let's say that I agree with its fairness. Anyway, downtimes will always happens, and I think that that work shouldn't be wasted.

And last. When the logs says: "Payout if block: x BTC"

That amount is what will be payed if my node finds the block or it's the payment without counting the subsidy?
That exact amount would be paid to you if the pool found a block at this moment.
Thank you. Great work.

315  Economy / Services / Re: Swedish Translation Service - 0.0005 BTC/word on: August 09, 2011, 03:42:52 PM
heh well i believe it will happen very very slowly... and as everybody pushes their prices down, BTC wil become more atractve, the demand will grow and we all make profit. But thats what i believe Cheesy heh
Yes, I thought that too, and I was planning to try to enforce it, as you're doing. But that huge forced fee for sending any coin (0.0005 currently) is an enormous barrier which will retain the prices high for quite some time...

Anyway, good luck with business and i will resell your services too Smiley
Hey, you can count on me too. In fact, I believe we can get in touch to offer all our working force together...
¿What do you think?
