It's a reasonable point, computers are notoriously pedantic.

In my heart of hearts, I love bitmixer.io's robotic campaign. The automated, no bullshit payouts are really a wonder. Alas, I cannot, at the present rejoin for the same reason as always for the past year. I will not repeat it.

Half of you guys don't even know wtf are you talking about it's updownbot.bz not UpDown.BT. They both are not run by the same guy it's totally different. This guys is trying to run a campaign for updownbot.bz not Updown.bt. This was the Signature Campaign thread for updown.bt, i don't know or care about how that campaign ended, this guy is trying to do provide a good service here and you start accusing him without knowing which website you are talking about. Yo, asking -neq accusing. K? |

Ok, here's a question that should be answerable: how do you get to change your username so often?
|
|
|
|
maybe to recover your account with a signature when you got hacked or something?
Nope, that won't suffice unfortunately. Addresses need to be either in a message or a post. I think it would be a good idea to have them logged somehow to help with account recovery though. That is very interesting and I was unaware of this. Seems like a user concerned about this might ought to put a post up in off-topic with their btc address should it ever come in handy for account verification. |

What is going on with dicebitco.in? The sig thread is locked, or else I can't find the proper one. But I don't see any other gripe or scam thread started anywhere. Where's the evidence and discussion on this one?
Discussion taking place in their main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716312.0Okay, I read up on that thread (thanks!) and it looks to me like the sig campaign hasn't been the issue, they're having problems with a possible hack or security breach and their bankroll. Seems premature to put the sig campaign * up unless they actually missed a payday already. |

Want to remove the negative trust you put on me for an issue with coinchat? If you do so I'll remove mine and we can both walk away cleaner.

Just use BTC or satoshi (0.00000001) like in:
I just bought a car for 10 BTC!
The new Final Fantasy game will cost only 15000 satoshi!
Using mBTC, uBTC, μBTC is just unnecessary, sounds like a different coin and it will confuse a lot of people.
Coinedup and a few other sites are guilty of using mBTC.
1 satoshi is the smallest unit of BTC that's all people should have to learn. If you want massive user adoption you have to simplify things.
I guess the term satoshi make it more clear than the other uBTC or fuckBTC thing.I don't understand what does that mean I think you're one of these guys (below): Most of the world understands it. The few that don't need to learn it. It is about as basic as tying your shoes.

True, but in that case they can always get rid of their dust and start again with a less fractured btc amount, having had the chance to play with pennies and then moving on.

Are you related to the updown of recent signature ad campaign infamy? Or is your name just an unfortunate coincidence? If the latter, I'd read up on what happened with up/down and then reconsider the name. If the former, I'll be very surprised if anyone signs up.

Answering my own question partly, I found this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block which does say: The first 50BTC block reward went to address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, though this reward can't be spent due to a quirk in the way that the genesis block is expressed in the code (this may have been intentional).
But I haven't yet found a further explanation about this quirk, still reading though. I do have a follow up question for the board: Is there an rpc call I can make to get the address that the coins in the genesis block went to? I have been getting addresses by calling getrawtransaction with the reply from getblockhash. If block 0 doesn't work with getrawtransaction, is there another call I can use to list the vout->addresses? |

I can't tell which claims to believe or repond to. Some are talking about gifts of integer btc?! Others seem to be referring to dusts and spam. Multiple stories conflated in this thread, I think.
|
|
|
|
I don't think the generation transaction in the genesis block is indexed. Therefore it can't be spent and getrawtransaction won't work with it.
Thanks for the reply! Can you point me to where you saw that? If I understand you, you're saying the 50btc in the block reward (coinbase) for the 0th block isn't spendable by whatever miner solved it? What's up with those 50btc? |
|
|
|
|
Maybe someone is mining to your address as a tip?
Anyway, the people that are talking about the advertizing transactions, those aren't the same as someone mining to your address. I've gotten those 1ENJOY ones before, but I've never had someone mine btc to an address I owned. Frankly, I find this a little suspicious, if enchanting.

Always use the fee if you send it for no fee your payment can take ages to arrive in the wallet
Thanks for your replies Entz & Newaw. If I'm accepting 100s of transactions for only 1000 satoshi's, the fee will surpass the whole transaction... correct? I've read about some gambling sites using their own blockchain or "off-blockchain mode" as they like to call it - what's this mean and how can I achieve it? I think this is why a lot of sites have minimum withdrawl amounts that guarantee enough to cover a nominal fee. You could consider trying to send a very small fee (but I don't know if it would be ignored as dust, there's something about the settings of particular miners which is going to affect the order/number of transactions they try to load into a block), or setting a higher minimum withdrawl on your website. |

Edited to make the question stand out: The single transaction on the genesis block of testnet3 gives me an error upon getrawtransaction, all (?) the other blocks seem fine. What's up with this? More detail below: Hi there, I can use bitcoind RPC to get the hash of the only transaction on the genesis block of testnet3: tsp@cedrus:~/$ bitcoind getblock `bitcoind getblockhash 0`
"hash" : "000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943",

}
However, whenever I try to get transaction info from bitcoind about that transaction hash I get this error: tsp@cedrus:~/$ bitcoind getrawtransaction 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b
error: {"code":-5,"message":"No information available about transaction"}
And asking for verbose, same error: tsp@cedrus:~/$ bitcoind getrawtransaction 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b 1
error: {"code":-5,"message":"No information available about transaction"}
However, if I ask about the block at height=1, no problems: tsp@cedrus:~/$ bitcoind getblock `bitcoind getblockhash 1`{

No problem: tsp@cedrus:~/src/$ bitcoind getrawtransaction f0315ffc38709d70ad5647e22048358dd3745f3ce3874223c80a7c92fab0c8ba

Is this expected? I'm running bitcoind with -txindex=1. Thanks for any tips! |

Its a crazy roller coaster ride, especially at the beginning, I made mistakes in just doing simple transfers and making mistakes on the exchange.
People say Faucets are a waste of time as u make nothing, but i see it as a way of experimenting with pennies that dont hold any value but u learn with them.
I agree with your latter point. I think that faucets are still valuable for this reason: people can try out the technology: wallets, backups, keys, etc and not worry if they screw up that a large investment is on the line. |

Very cool on the widget generator. I write my own code so I won't need it personally but I really like all the work you guys are doing. By the way, is there anything that funds the project? I haven't really seen ads on the site so if they're there, they're pretty unobtrusive.

Seriously, wasn't the OP going to lock this thread and we all move on with our lives about 3 pages ago. I swore I read that.
