If you are looking for a list of the stupidest, most uniformed comments, from what have to be the most technologically ignorant people around, take a look at the comments below this CNN article, but what do you expect:

http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/28/investing/mt-gox-bankruptcy/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

They covered pretty much everything here except any comments here that had any technical understanding.  By the way, in their view, if you support bitcoin, you are a Fox News watcher according to some of the people there.  Of course if the comment section is an indication of the caliber of the CNN viewer, I'd watch Fox.

LOL.  I doubt that option will be added!

http://www.p2pool.com has added vertcoin mining.

This is a good site, beat me to it.

I think this is what you are looking for around line 53-55:

main.cpp:
/** Fees smaller than this (in satoshi) are considered zero fee (for transaction creation) */
int64_t CTransaction::nMinTxFee = 10000;  // Override with -mintxfee
/** Fees smaller than this (in satoshi) are considered zero fee (for relaying) */
int64_t CTransaction::nMinRelayTxFee = 1000;



:-)

The subtly hidden readme.  ;-)  Usually they just say "see docs".  lol.

edit:  that did it.  Thanks for the pointer.  I'll check out your mod for it next.  ;-)

vertcoind is running fine, and I was going to try running p2pool on VTC to try out your mod, but am getting an error:

exceptions.ImportError: No module named vtc_scrypt

Any suggestions one what dependencies on Ubuntu 13 are needed for p2pool?  I am using the donSchoe / p2pool-vtc fork from github.

:-)

I would hope not, but figured better to be safe.  ;-)

Once you out this live, change the passwords since you posted them here.

There were a lot of people missing the point. Hence my comment above. :-)

Probably in  ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

e.g.

mintxfee=0.0001
minrelaytxfee=0.0001
blockprioritysize=8000
blockminsize=10000

Then your bitcoind will use those to construct the block.

In most alts it is in the same spot, with a different name.

Assuming I understood what you were asking.   :-)

* Bitcoin should be regulated
* Bitcoin needs to have blacklists
* I'm safely storing my coins on <insert web site here>
* "We'll never see $3 again" (when it was under $3), but you can replace it with $1, $10, $33, $266, $1200.
* Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme
* Bitcoin isn't backed by governments so it will fail.  (Gold and silver aren't either).
* "Incoming crash imminent"
* "People can just print more bitcoins, they are on the computer"
And my favorite for now:
* "You can safely use tx id's to verify if a transaction has made it into a block" - MtGox.

There are so many though, it is hard to think of them all...

You use fiat, criminals use fiat. How can we trust you?

People are people, some bad, some good.  Currency will not change that. But Bitcoin lets you protect yourself from the fraudsters you cite - governments, criminals etc, redundant, I know - but only if actually used. People storing bitcoin at Gox or elsewhere are not using the advantages of bitcoin to protect themselves.

If you don't have the private key, it isn't your bitcoin. If used like fiat, it is vulnerable like fiat.

(And Gox itself was pretty incompetent.)

+1 to Holliday and D&T.

Private keys are like bearer bonds where if you have the bond, you own it, no questions asked.  You could do what you wanted with them, clip the coupons and get paid etc.  But you had to store them somewhere safe from thieves, natural disasters and the like.  There was no way to get them back if destroyed by fire for example.  If there were "bearer deeds" for houses, and you lost it, the house would no longer be yours.  Private keys are not analogous to house keys, despite the name.

As far as the complicated nature, yes, the internet and everything from credit cards to cars is complicated but we abstract the complicated portions downward so it seems simple.  Bitcoin will have that eventually so people can protect themselves better.

Query: if you could store 100 bitcoins in one address or in 10000, which makes more sense? From a protection standpoint, the 10000. From an easy of use standpoint as of now, the former.  Soon though, you'll be able to store each whole coin in 10 or 100 places so that you won't lose much if one private key is exposed. It will all be abstracted down so you do t even know it though.  

The suggestions above help prevent the loss of keys by storing them in a distributed fashion or encrypting them so that they are inaccessible even if viewed. Compared to bearer bonds, that is good.

The point is that you should have your own coins under your control or you just have a ledger entry for them on someone's books.

:-)

Both transactions would be in the blockchain - the initial withdrawal and then the re-withdrawl request several weeks later which mtgox would have allowed.  This is different than the initial gox withdrawal which had the tx id mutated and eventually made it into the blockchain albeit with this mutated tx id.

p2pool.com has added Unobtanium pooled mining, FYI.

I think those mygox yubikeys are going to collectables any day now. 

One of the essences of BTC is that you are in charge of your own financial life.  If you have delegated that to someone - MtGox for example - then you have to be darn sure that they are competent and honest. For nearly 3 years, Gox has had issues and although there have been promises of them fixing them, they didn't.  And yet people kept leaving coins there.

Remember, if you don't have your private keys, your coins are just ledger entries on someone else's books and you don't really own them.

I think the key is here:
twisted.web.error.Error: 401 Authorization Required

I do not think that this is correct:
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My understanding from here (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool) is that the rpcpassword= is not used on the command line so you might need to make it:


Try that and see if it helps - that is how it looks for our setup.

In the chat he said all his bitcoins were at Gox. IF you believe him.
