Cheaper, cleaner, better, web app, apps for everything, offline saving, upload your own songs if not available and more
To be fair, Spotify also has offline saving and you can upload your own songs and I am pretty sure it has a larger library than grooveshark.

Although I don't think Spotify has been as awesome to their customers for asking about bitcoin.

Does the server still depend on Abe? If so, is that going to be the case for awhile, or is that something you are working on replacing soon? 

technically, you can already use libbitcoin on your server.
however, it should become easier after the next release of ubuntu.

After the next release of ubuntu? What are you waiting for in 12.10?

Here's a project that appears to have stalled:

 - https://github.com/gasteve/node-bitcoin-p2p


Looks like it uses it's own DB, I would prefer the one I have an idea for to use the same database files as the QT wallet. Just copy in to a dir and it would work. Might be worth trying to fork and updating.
I don't think there is a BDB adapter for JS, so this would likely be a large undertaking.

Not sure. Googled it. Would https://github.com/mcavage/node-bdb, be it?
I stand corrected.  However that adapter hasn't been worked on in a year it looks like there is still more to work on.

Quote
However, there are a few important notes to be aware of with the node environment; since node is written to abstract away concurrency from you, and BDB is written to assume you have complete control over your concurrency model, there are some complications:

Since environment/database open/close can only be done by one thread of control, these bindings don't have an asynchronous open/close. Best practice is to open everything at startup time (e.g., before you do a listen()).
Transactions can't be active in more than one thread at a time. That pretty much screws the pooch for node, unless I did something like what the erlang driver does, and maintain a thread pool that "routes" any request involving a transaction to the same thread. Possible, but that's going to bring a lot of context switches, and I would need a compelling reason to add in all that complexity. For now, all operations in DB are protected by a transaction (assuming you opened the DB transactionally), and I plan on adding a conditionalUpdate API in the near future.
Because of transactional complications, there is not yet cursor support. This is on my list to add with something like an EventEmitter.


Maybe you could use node-bdb to import the wallet.dat into the wallet format that bitcoinjs uses.  Then the concurrency issues won't be a problem since you are only reading from the satoshi wallet.

I should have another server up again soon.  I ran one for a little bit, but then Abe died and I haven't bothered since.
346  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - a new thin client on: June 25, 2012, 04:11:17 AM
So I just got this running on my mac in a virtualenv.

I had been using Armory for offline transactions, but it is far from a lite client.

Super easy install.  It was trying to stick stuff in /usr/share so I grabbed a copy from git and changed line 15 of setup.py. 

Code:
if platform.system() != 'Windows' and platform.system() != 'Darwin':

Does the server still depend on Abe? If so, is that going to be the case for awhile, or is that something you are working on replacing soon? 

Also, the ascii art on wall isn't a monospace font, so it looks funky.

Anyone know off hand which address the coins in the genesis block were paid to?  That would be interesting.

http://blockchain.info/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

The wiki says they can't actually be spent, though it doesn't go into the details of why.
348  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics on: June 23, 2012, 01:30:17 AM
agree with hazek, try to avoid calling it taint analysis.
Maybe coin history/origin analysis or something else.
+1

So something weird is going on with my vanity address.

http://blockchain.info/taint/11235813yoNV9F45KjwRiBYnYFufMunTj8

Apparently there is only a 5.7942159848% that this address is connected to itself. That seems wrong.

Also I think you have a typo here: "The more "taint" the worse the stronger the link that remains."

Awesome. >3% monthly is nice.

Not if it comes from holding mining bonds that may yield 7-8%, but are about to become worthless.
You can buy greek debt at >8% if you want.
By "about to" do you mean in months or more when BFL is shipping ASICs?
352  Economy / Securities / Re: Forward-looking statement for upcoming July 1st dividend on: June 22, 2012, 04:22:51 PM
Our second dividend and first full month dividend is quickly approaching.

Estimated total dividends: 75.52 to 83.00 BTC
Estimated per share dividend: 0.028495 to 0.031827 BTC

Awesome. >3% monthly is nice.

354  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: June 22, 2012, 04:11:58 PM
It appears to be interacting in some way with cgminer. If I run '--offline' there are no issues, but if I run the normal version it kills the hashrate in cgminer.
The "interaction" with cgminer is likely that they are using the same CPU.  Armory's CPU usage spikes for me on initial load and seemingly randomly while using the program.
355  Economy / Securities / Re: (TyGrr) TyGrr-Bot ~automated arbitrage trading system~ on: June 22, 2012, 05:50:38 AM
Looking forward to news.

Thanks for the trade. Smiley
Thanks a bunch.  That was really fast an easy.  With the new patch changes to gem price, I can actually afford to combine them now!

If you have a #bitcoin-otc account, I'll give you a rating.

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/342834/20120518/george-zimmerman-trayvon-martin-shot-evidence-photos.htm

Quote
New documents released in the Trayvon Martin case showed that George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, shot the 17 year old through the chest, piercing his heart and lung. Zimmerman was also bloody and had wounds, evidence in the case shows.

Quote
For example, someone who is getting their head banged on the pavement is not going to be able to aim accurately enough to kill on the first shot with a bullet to the head. He could however do some body damage.

Precisely what happened.  One defensive shot to the body was all.

Just because it was a defensive shot doesn't mean Zimmerman isn't the one who provoked the fight, hence the second degree murder charges.

This topic isn't about that though.  It's about the defense fund.  Can we please stay on topic? I want to know if anyone actually donated to Zimmerman and if they are upset that their money was hidden and not used for his actual defense.
359  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Idea: age verification by university quiz on: June 20, 2012, 04:48:03 PM
Anyway, I don't know how serious you are with this, but these days kids know more than their parents (and more generally age explains only a tiny fraction of the variance in knowledge between people), so trying to deduce age based on knowledge is futile. Basically only people who have recently studied a relevant course or can use a search engine have better than average chance at a solution.

I really want Bitcoin to succeed, but I'd say even 1% of the world is very optimistic.

What % of the world's transactions are Paypal or Western Union?  We need to get to those lower numbers first.
