He's comparing one p2p protocol with another. Can't you understand that?

LOL not in my country. We do what we like. We are free!

Oh I just read the part about "you know". Adam says that pretty much in every sentence and I've been insisting on including them all along.

We've been doing something like that internally. Marking the parts we have doubts about for review by the other person. I catch most of those but in some places I can't make it out either.

I have two questions and would appreciate an answer from qwk or kluge:

- Do you include words that are repeated twice? for example:

"That that is the way we do it"

"I tell you it's it's not right"

- What if we can't make out something despite repeated attempts? I am partnering with another guy on one ep and if neither him nor me can make it out despite slowing down the audio, considering context and researching it online what do we put down? Something like "[unclear]"?

LOL then that's sweet justice right there, no offence. Most sites, hosts and even CDNs like cloudflare are owned by Americans and they right away ban entire IP ranges from my country. So we are used to seeing these "prove you are human" pages. I guess now you know how it feels..

In theory that is correct. But you've got these default amounts in wallets and rules for judging when transaction fees must be paid that are hard coded into the wallet that all the miners are using. So you have to remove these rules or make them adjust automatically to current conditions.

More than that it has to change automatically and not be dependent on periodic updates by the development teams of qt and other wallets. The reason is that we will see faster and faster increases in the value of bitcoin and the development teams will not be able to keep up. So it has to be automated based on some combination of market price (which may not be possible or too dangerous) or maybe based on difficulty which is also rising.

Ok I don't religiously follow everything he says so I didn't know.

Another thing that needs looking at is this rule here about when transaction fees are required:

"A transaction may be safely sent without fees if these conditions are met:

    It is smaller than 10,000 bytes.
    All outputs are 0.01 BTC or larger.
    Its priority is large enough (see the Technical Info section below)

Transactions need to have a priority above 57,600,000 to avoid the enforced limit (as of client version 0.3.21). This threshold is written in the code as COIN * 144 / 250, suggesting that the threshold represents a one day old, 1 btc coin (144 is the expected number of blocks per day) and a transaction size of 250 bytes. "

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

So two things that need to be looked at. The rule of 0.01 output and the transaction priority value of 57 mill which is based on the idea of sending a single 1 day old bitcoin. With bitcoin exceeding $400 we can do a lot of significant transactions that will require fees if these hard limits are not addressed.

And don't say that this only applies to bitcoin-qt. All the miners are using bitcoin-qt so these rules apply to everyone.

It already does this.


In the network dialog uncheck auto connect option and then you'll be able to choose a server you like. You can also bring up this dialog box using the green/red icon in the bottom right.

If your ISP assigns you a dynamic IP from a pool of IP addresses you may get wrongly flagged in this manner. So just enter the captcha and make do. The previous person who got the IP did something that got it flagged.

BTW which country are you in?

Right now the transaction fee comes to around Rs. 4.30 or 4 US cents. Since micro transactions are supposed to be one of bitcoin's selling points this fee is too high. If you want to send somebody Rs. 10 you are basically paying more than 40% in fees. Yeah I know no one does that yet but if BTC spreads there might be a use case for that.

sharingbitcoin.com is probably the only one I like from the OP's list.

Yeah they removed it. Electrum's philosophy seems to be to keep things minimal. I suppose we should respect that. The alternative is Armory and I hear that can be a huge memory hog not to mention the blockchain!

This is an awesome feature! I am sure it will come in handy.

Thanks ThomasV.

So I am updating from the 1.8 branch and have a few questions:

- Where do you toggle between expert mode and normal?

- Gap limit option has been removed, right?

- The copy option under the file menu is the new way to backup the wallet?

- Default wallet has been moved under wallets directory. But what about other wallets? They open fine but I want to know whether they will be "upgraded" in future?

edit: The new send many feature is really awesome!

Yes you can. There is an option in the menus. But you will need your password.

edit: it's under the wallet menu in 1.9.x.

Nope. The money is gone. That is the problem with these companies. They don't care enough to read what you've written. Keep trying if it makes you feel any better but don't expect to get the money back or you will surely be disappointed.
