You're just talking about women, not about jews?
There is no jew:goy ratio on this forum. We don't want our gold to be taken from us again and sold for bitcoins Why are we talking about Jews? Hum... I see a Godwin point coming ....  |

Yeah I know right now there are only two companies, and a grand total of 2 shares (one in each). But it's just the beginning. http://grondilu.freeshell.org/brokerage.cgiBasically all you need is a GnuPG key in order to identify yourself and to authenticate your orders. All signatures are logged so that you should audit everything which is done. It has been tested but I would not be suprised if problems would appear. This does not make compensation : you transfer ownership of shares. You have to trust other party to give you the bitcoins you expect. Later I'll make a compensation service, plus a book order system. |

Come on guys, why can't you just admit that women are less interested in this kind of stuffs ? To me it's not sexism, it is just realism.
Women have a lower tendancy to be interested in pretty much anything. Whether it is art, sport, games, science, whatever... Almost all cultural movements have been initiated by men.
I see two ways the sex ratio on this forum could reach 1:1 :
1. some people on this forum will create fake female members just in order to defeat what I've just written ;
2. bitcoin would have gone mainstream ;

MagicalTux, can you add a Russian language version? We could copy some pages from the old wiki.
I'm just realising that if bitcoin was to get some success as a currency (I think does already, but I may be a bit partial), then we'll have a truly international monetary system. Now when I hear politic leaders or economists or IMF's chairman Dominic Strauss-Kahn talking about the necessary international monetary reform, all those people sounds so dumb ! They are just trying to make a terrible system work and they are completely unable to re-think it from scratch. |

I doubt xtranormal uses open source software for speech synthetisis. Here is "Bitcoin is a new digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto" made using the open source "festival" software. http://grondilu.freeshell.org/bitcoin.wav |

The .bitcoin file could look like this : 1Hy9dexzNzjvQYkYy6zKRVZMU8k2j5vuPt;1; some comment
The associated command would be : #!/bin/bash
if [[ -z "$1" ]]
then echo "usage: $0 bitcoin-file" ; exit 1
elif
addr="$(cut -d\; -f1 $1)"
[[ ! "$addr" =~ ^[0-9a-zA-Z]{35}$" ]] ||
wget -O - -q http://blockexplorer.com/address/$addr |
grep -i -q "Invalid address"
then echo "Wrong bitcoin address or file format" ; exit 2
elif
amount="$(cut -d\; -f2 $1)"
[[ ! "$amount" =~ ^[1-9]+$|^0\.[0-9]+$ ]]
then echo "wrong format for amount" ; exit 3
elif
comment="$(cut -d\; -f3 $1)"
zenity --question --text "Do you want to send $amount to $addr with \"$comment\" as a comment ?"
then bitcoind sendtoaddress $addr $amount "$comment"
fi
This version requires the zenity package |

Don't you have a laptop? I live on the move and it's always possible to find a net cafe, plug my laptop and be on the go!
Plug a laptop in a cybercafe ? In my country I doubt it is possible. However, here in Paris there are plenty of hot-spots. Public libraries are perfect for instance : you have a chair, a table and even an electric plug supply. I've heard that Indonesia is quite an advanced country, even more than most western countries. I'd be surprised if they had no public access to internet. |

A bitcoin party !? Where ? When ? |

ahh forget it.
I'm about to finish writing my CGI script using GnuPG to transfer share holdings.
It's a centralised method, but I think it's fine since the shares are holded in a centralised manner anyway.
PS. I'm just discovering openssl. This programm is great. It's kind of a swiss-army cryptograpihc knife. I'll use that instead of GnuPG.

Hey,
I've been studying alt currencies for a couple of years and this is one of the best I've found. I'll be setting up an account soon. I'm currently on business in the middle of Indonesia, and can only use Internet Cafes.
Does this make using BC difficult or impossible?
If I had a few safety protocols, like changing my password everyday, checking for keyloggers etc, is it doable?
Any other security measures I could take?
I'll be using the wallet to receive donations so I might end up with a fair amount of cash in there.
Or maybe I should just ask a friend with a fixed line to run the software from his house. This'll be hard though.
Any ideas?
Thx.
If you don't have access to a machine you actually own, then you have to trust someone to hold your bitcoins for you. Most famous here is mybitcoin.com. But you should definitely try to install bitcoin in a machine at your home. Maybe a smartphone if you don't have any PC where you currently live. bitcoind has been reported to run on the Nokia N900. An other possibility would be a SSH access to a distant machine. Some organisations offer free unix shells, which could be accessed from a web interface, I guess. I personnaly use freeshell.org. |

You can use gavin's python tools to export the keys and fiddle with them externally and that is good since you can achieve the desired functionality, but there's no guarantee he'll have time to maintain them and keep them compatible with future versions.
I think it's an important property of cash to be able to show without giving, don't you ?
I guess. However I keep thinking it should not be integrated inside the client but as some kind of a bitcoin-tools package, amongst which we could also find the explorer functions of blockexplorer.com. I didn't know about gavin's tools. I'll give it a look. |

Give it up, davout. Gene is right. It's a feature that is not necessary to bitcoin, and that could be implemented with an external, optionnal, program.
Therefore, there is no reason to add it in the official client. It would give unecessary additional work for programmers and would add potential points of failure.
But I wish someone will eventually implement it as an external tool.

"sendfrom" doesn't actually send bitcoins from a particular address/account. It just reduces the account's balance after sending.
Ah, my bad. Isn't there really no easy way to send amounts from a particular address (apart from creating a wallet with only one address) ? |

If it's not useful, we don't need a method at all, and if it is useful, we need a secure method. Either way, we don't need a dangerously flawed and useless one like your suggestion.
True. We actualy don't need it. My initial post was intended to allow people to prove they own a private key. It was intended to claim ownership of future paiements into the bitcoin address. The idea was to ease a process a asset transfer. It's completely different than proving you own a certain amount of money, which is in my opinion quite impossible (since money could have been borrowed). Also, proving you own some money doesn't prevent you from lying about your intent to spend it. |
