Essentially, this also annuls the ruling that the dissemination of information on cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin in particular, within Russia is illegal.

...

It should also be noted that these hearings resulted in not only the unblocking of Russian websites, but also the international developers website bitcoin.org and the Bitcoin-wikipedia resource bitcoin.it, which will soon become accessible to users in Russia.

Good news to Russia.
Not only the websites, but news sites and newspaper can now say about it too.

If you use an OP_RETURN instruction does it show up on blockchain.info?
The "whole" transaction script is written in the end of the page with the header "Output Scripts"
303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is "Stealth Address Data" in transactions?! on: May 15, 2015, 05:48:14 PM
Then basicly the transaction the OP mentioned was a transaction that did abosutely nothing other than paying fees?
(since other than the change address, it received only the OP_RETURN as parameter)

And no need to throw stones for my mistake, I just really didn't pay attention to the generated script.

Most of your answer will be on the first and second answer.

The real "classics" would have to be games that started genres on their own, like Quake, Silent Hill, GTA III, Half-Life, Starcraft, Legend Of Zelda, Mario, Pac-Man, Star Wars KotOR, etc.

Starcraft came many years after Warcraft I and the first Command & Conquer.

This and other reasons(like small lifetime of rewrites on each block) is why a hybrid drive (SSHD) is the best way to go.

I'm using Electrum.
Pretty simple, good to use and to recover.
309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is Bitcoin Fork? on: May 12, 2015, 08:20:28 PM
The fork will cause more problem than the current block size limite of 1 MB, what do you think? I a one of the users that is supporting the decentralization, and if this improvement will be make by the core dev I will not update bitcoin core (this is why I love decentralization).
This could be the death of bitcoin.  Half the exchanges adopt it... half don't.. most people in BTC have no clue what's going on...
-snip-
It is even worse when these sheep insist that everyone must submit.


Unless 100% of the miners goes to the version you aren't using.
Then, depending of the change made, using an old version would be useless.
In this case, the size of the block, it's affected by only full nodes and miners right?

They hate the fact that he has the power to make changes to the code that has affect on them or they hate the fact that they don't matter in the Bitcoin universe or any other universe for that matter.

I think it's not that. It's maybe that they want people to understand that bitcoin is a "centrally controlled currency". And even more so than USD or EUR.

Centrally controlled currencies are not inherently bad. And living in an illusion is a choice.

Its not centralized.
It's a bit closed to the main contributors of the protocol just to avoid griefing ofc
But its open source, and anyone can make a BIP.

Ripple é maior furada.
Lembro até hoje que pra chamar atenção eles diziam que era "Open Source" e que iriam liberar o código "em breve".
Nada até hoje, e eles nem falam mais em open source, agora que já chamaram a atenção do mercado.
312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bigger blocks coming in release 0.11 on: May 05, 2015, 04:39:58 PM
But no! The problem is not storage, but bandwidth. At least that's what many claim.

Bandwidth becomes a problem at over 1 MB every 10 minutes?  My moderate Internet connection can download 1 MB every 1/8th of a second.

Yes, but apparently there are people with 56k connection that want to run full nodes...

And now that I think about it, it's still enough to handle 20 MB every 10 minutes, isn't it?

The problem is, even a 1Mb needs 3 minutes to download one 20MB block.
Uploading a block with such connection takes more than 10 minutes, and downloading even only the headers will be frustrating.

Although today I have a 10Mb connection(its decent, could be better), I do worry about other people where internet connection is expensive.
313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bigger blocks coming in release 0.11 on: May 05, 2015, 11:31:46 AM
Even though getting a 1TB HDD is cheap today, what gets me worried is about the network.
Downloading a 40GB+ file isn't easy in the whole world(tons of places and countries have poor quality ISP with low speeds).
Light weight clients are nice and even I use them, but the blockchain is getting more and more centralized, what kills the initial concept o Bitcoin.
314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Remove Satoshi as Founding Member, Says Bitcoin Foundation Director on: April 30, 2015, 02:43:07 PM
Well, it could avoid accidents like the one when his/her e-mail account was "stolen" and then happened the mess in SF and e-mails spread even to theymos.
Other than that, I can't see why remove Satoshi.
315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best ways to advertise faucet reflinks? on: April 30, 2015, 02:36:54 PM
Most people that got tons of refs is because they were the first ones to spread about X service.
Other people even give "bonus" for being their referal.
Just spreading reflinks doesn't mean that you will ever get any return.

Donation adresses are public and showed in the web, so anyone can see I'm not stealing noone! 100% of donations will go to the Red Cross, of course.

That doesn't mean anything.
I just wonder how you will make BTC become fiat and how you will send it.
Will you post a "receipt" from the red cross after the donation?
317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoins not showing up on the blockchain? on: April 23, 2015, 04:32:58 PM
If you really need that bitcoin your friend can export the tx's input address's private key
and then he can import it into another wallet (electrum, online wallets etc).
Then send the amount to you.

Since the old tx isn't broadcasted yet,(new one) it'll be broadcasted and accepted.

how do we do that ? its actually really important hehe....

is there some guide ?
He's gonna open wallet (it doesn't matter if it's synced or not) and then console;
dumpprivkey inputaddress
it will return a string starts with 5
then he'll copy it and import into another wallet.

There're lots of topics about it.

Electrum is very user friendly, so after knowing the private key(the one you get from dumpprivkey) is pretty simple, I recommend it.
318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoins not showing up on the blockchain? on: April 23, 2015, 02:06:43 PM
Some news. The wallet is uppdated. Coins are gone but no transaction took place. He said something about that the wallet said it was "conflicted"Huh It was in swedeish so I'm just "hard" translating

Probably is the problem of only 8 connections, nothing to worry I would say.
But since the transaction is recent, just sit down some minutes and watch: your transaction probably got relayed now and a miner soon will put it on a block and it will get it's first confirmation.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoins not showing up on the blockchain? on: April 23, 2015, 10:50:31 AM
His wallet will need to be fully synced


This. As soon as it gets synced it will send the transaction.
The reason for that is pretty obvious: your address with the 0.4BTC could be already be used sometime in those 13180 weeks late of blocks, and then Bitcoin Core would fail and allow double spends.

can you provide the address to which the coins were sent? i think he sent them without fees

The Bitcoin-qt doesn't allow this. (unless you get the non official fork that allows that)
320  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP, newbie to all of this on: April 22, 2015, 02:14:31 PM
Can you share your public address?
In the www.blockhain.info you can input there and see if the address got any payment/transaction.

And about your sincing client, the 1 year and 33 weeks means that your latest block is 1 year and 33 weeks late, altought it won't last that long to download, there's tons of blocks to download yet, maybe 24 hours since you're probably running connected only on 8 nodes.
