Well, at least Dmitri has found out about Bitcoin: Wink

Looks like stage 3 is starting already.

DNS is case insensitive. You've just found a bug in namecoind.

Quote from the Wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_your_wallet

Quote
The wallet contains a pool of queued keys. By default there are 100 keys in the key pool. The size of the pool is configurable using the "-keypool" command line argument. When you need an address for whatever reason (send, “new address”, generation, etc.), the key is not actually generated freshly, but taken from this pool. A brand new address is generated to fill the pool back to 100. So when a backup is first created, it has all of your old keys plus 100 unused keys. After sending a transaction, it has 99 unused keys. After a total of 100 new-key actions, you will start using keys that are not in your backup. Since the backup does not have the private keys necessary for authorizing spends of these coins, restoring from the old backup will cause you to lose Bitcoins.

XBT is free.
Yuck. I parse that as "Extreme BitTorrent". Or "Extreme British Telecom".

The flash drive isn't really needed there, just sell a .zip file online with those contents. Also, I experimented with putting my bitcoin data dir on a flash drive and found it to be unusably slow. (Blocks downloaded at maybe one a minute.)

If you have GnuPG installed just open up a command prompt, type gpg <enter>, paste the encrypted message, enter your password and press enter, then press Ctrl-Z <enter> to signal end-of-input to gpg. The authentication string will now be printed, and you can go everify with gribble. HTH. Smiley

theymos, your instructions are for the old system, the new "eauth/everify" does not require a pastebin.

And, of course, it's really weird that a P2P network only works with a single connection ... but I guess that's off-topic ...
The client strives to keep 8 connections open. If this fails for some reason, you can add some nodes manually as explained on the Wiki:

(Google cache since the server is down right now.)

There maybe really something wrong with sixofusu's account, because I checked the

http://blockexplorer.com/address/1G4JD8B2y3LjZ8iop6XHCsB6qQUsSfnWp9

still nothing. I have transfered 0.009btcs to this address two hours ago.

For comparison, I send 0.01 BTCs to another address, It has already showed.

Your transaction is not listed on http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/. This means that your client has not broadcasted it onto the network yet.

Bitmarket.eu is a good site, but the exchange rate is usually slightly worse (for a buyer) than Mt. Gox.
354  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where can I buy a flash drive with Bitcoins on it? on: May 31, 2011, 12:25:21 PM
Why would you want that if you have access to the Internet? And if you don't have the Internet, you can't use Bitcoin...

Also, note that the first 120,000 blocks are available as a .zip here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/
You can speed up the installation of a new client using that archive.
356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transactions don't work? (Mac OS X) on: May 31, 2011, 10:07:38 AM
I tried the same.

posted the address on the faucet for .02 bitcoins.

Been running bitcoin all day nothings showed up on the amount box.
Your client has to download the whole block chain first. Check that the number in the lower right corner of the window is at least 127730. (The block that includes the transaction that you linked to.)
357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Denomination Naming Conventions for Startups? on: May 30, 2011, 08:05:54 AM
If an e-commerce website wants to list prices less than 1 bitcoin, is there a proper naming convention to follow?

0.1 bitcoin seems depressing to list as the reward price.
Use microcoins. 100,000 micros sounds fairly impressive. Grin

A bug report: the graph flickers in Opera.

<pedantry>
The greek μ character is an m, not a u. Writing it as a u looks childish and illiterate IMO.
</pedantry>
Using u as a replacement for µ is the de facto standard when you're limited to ASCII.
360  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Hobbyist miners forced out today? on: May 27, 2011, 08:22:40 AM
No.

300MH/s = .67BTC/day
= $5.70/day
= $171/month

And anyone with that kind of MH/s is probably using no more than 250w of electricity, so 180kwh/month, or about $18 more in electricity per month.  Well, if you get decent rates on electricity, anyway.  $72/month at most though.

Mining is far from being unprofitable.  When difficulty hits 4M, then we'll talk about it being unprofitable for a good portion of hobbyist miners.

At the rate things are going that may happen by November.
The difficulty will pass 4M:

Conservative estimate:
in late August. (30% increase for each adjustment and 10 days per round)

"Holy cow, look at that" estimate:
in one month. (75%, 8 days)
