Welp, the site is not reachable for me right now.
Strange because according to my log files everything has been properly online for the whole time. Is it still unreachable? In what sense is/was it not reachable for you? |

This message is internal to blockchain.info it is not saved on the block chain and thus cryptograffiti.info cannot see it. This message is embedded behind OP_RETURN which only supports messages up to ~80 bytes of length. Cryptograffiti.info currently does not have full OP_RETURN support and that's why this message is not visible in cryptograffiti.info. Adding full OP_RETURN support is in the TODO list though  |

This is magical ! Could you please explain us how it does work ? I have been here for quite a moment but never heard about this !
It is explained just a post before you and mine, I appreciate Hyena for writing this post for us and explaining it in detail but I was thinking that it is something easier like a message in blokchain as ASCII not as HEX It is in ASCII actually. This is exactly how bitcoinstrings service works. It scans plaintext messages from blocks. However, bitcoin address format is Base58 not ASCII so that's why you don't see those messages directly in blockchain.info. For technical people it is rather obvious how to read block chain messages so you can be sure that your messages are easily found by anyone who bothers to scan the block chain byte-by-byte. |

Do they show in blockchain.info as a message attached to a transaction or just in that website? The messages show also in https://bitcoinstrings.com/ however it might not show unicode messages, not sure so far I am aware of only cryptograffiti that is able to decode images and other media. blockchain.info can show the messages only as hex strings when you enable advanced mode, for example this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/6bc09d676028100f3b678182297cdd733fa8671bd28263e87d99b6344bc704eb?show_adv=trueIn the end it shows OP_DUP OP_HASH160 576174657220697320626c75650a4d656c6f6e73 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG OP_DUP OP_HASH160 20617265207265640a736f6d657468696e67736f OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG OP_DUP OP_HASH160 6d657468696e670a49206c6f766520796f750a2d OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG OP_DUP OP_HASH160 205361756d656e73636800000000000000000000 OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG so when you concatenate 576174657220697320626c75650a4d656c6f6e73, 20617265207265640a736f6d657468696e67736f, 6d657468696e670a49206c6f766520796f750a2d and 205361756d656e73636800000000000000000000 you will get this: 576174657220697320626c75650a4d656c6f6e7320617265207265640a736f6d657468696e67736 f6d657468696e670a49206c6f766520796f750a2d205361756d656e736368000000000000000000 00and when you copy the above hex string to here: http://string-functions.com/hex-string.aspxyou will get this as a result: Water is blue

Some awesome miner just confirmed my non-standard TXs. Thank you whoever you are, this saved me a lot of trouble.
Nevertheless, I hope to see mining pools offering to confirm non-standard TXs as a paid service some time in the future.

From time to time accidents happen. Yesterday something went internally wrong in the Bitcoin core based wallet when calculating TX fee so that dust was sent to my change address. I included a fee for the TX to be confirmed in 20 minutes but it hasn't confirmed for 18 hours now. It's because the change address contains dust so the TX does not confirm but is accepted by blockchain.info as a valid TX. This is not the first time when a TX does not get confirmed and it pisses me off a lot because it's technically really inconvenient to delete it from the wallet and make a "double spend" that fixes the issue. It would be much easier for me if there was a mining pool that offered a way for anyone to push non-standard TXs to the miner's mempool. I would have no problem paying extra bitcoins to the pool's address for the confirmation of the TX. Can anyone make such a service, point me to an existing one or just manually confirm my TXs for me? I think the TX fee is enough but I am willing to pay some extra. Here are the TXs that don't confirm: https://blockchain.info/tx/b550e8604c486b9ab00cb1cd09a6985de1a8c05554aec4f32aebb6df2a9c8bc3https://blockchain.info/tx/2e49019b1a8f8ab5e46892c60ff55e4f5f8291ec1b0ead9d5666af5548d43148 |

Does the push API still work? I accidentally included a dust input in a healthy TX that pays a hefty fee. I think it no longer makes any sense to have dust threshold because miners will include TXs in the block based on the satoshis/byte fee ratio. So, in situations where a false-positive dust TX is not confirmed I'd like to manually push it to some miner that is willing to confirm it. Please let me know of the push API status and whether it is reliable. If someone knows any alternative push APIs of actual miners/mining pools then I'd gladly like to know about them. Thanks! |

BU seems to have lost significant hash lately, any reason why?
I would guess it was because of a bug in BU that caused one miner to produce a block that was rejected by the network. |

Well, I'm actually just glad that this block size thing is moving somewhere, that we are getting more BU support and that price is climbing higher. This topic was mostly intended to smear BU's success in the faces of segwit pawns. Sure, we can say that BU is not the sole reason for BTC rise, but it's definitely one of the reasons.

Delusional BUcoin supporters of the /r/btc sect will think any price increase is due BUcoin nodes. Back in the day any price increase was because of XT. Then XT failed. Back in the day any price increase was due Classic. Then Classic failed. Now the price is up and guess what: It's all due BU!!! Those idiots will never learn. Im sorry but no, plenty of news are making the price go up, nobody cares about BU. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-gets-ready-to-factor-in-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-approvalyou're a sorry loser butthurt because BU is now officially more accepted than this ugly hack segwit crap Looks like you are the butthurt loser. BU nodes are mostly fake, hosted by Roger Ver, pretty much like most people on /r/btc. We already saw the same with xt and classic: peaks of nodes that went down fast because they were fake. It will be fun to see BU crash and burn for what it is: another useless powergrab attempt of butthurt losers jelly that Core devs are the best coders in the game. another misinformed idiot making false assumptions. no one is talking about node count, that can obviously be faked. I'm speaking of blocks that are signalling Bitcoin Unlimited support --- actual miners mining BU blocks. Im not sure if its BU thats causing the rise or if its just worldwide demand like another user said but i know for sure that a lot of people close to me that would have never gone near bitcoin before are taking a more serious look at it now. If BU was to hardfork then im sure we will get a temporary dip as people panic due to a not knowing how its going to go.
and yet another false assumption. BU is not going to hardfork because it will require super consensus to activate just like segwit. there will be no hard fork, just a protocol upgrade. |

anything Unlimited is typically BS, as has been shown time and time again.
just look at the "unlimited" cellular plans.
what a horrible name choice.
That said about the name, I am not proficient enough in software to fully understand the choice, but all this segwit vs unlimited strikes me as a bunch of political horseshit that i tried to avoid by being interested in bitcoin in the first place.
Behaving more like Montecchi vs Capuleti...sheeesh
Yeah it sucks they named it Bitcoin Unlimited because there's nothing unlimited about Bitcoin Unlimited. Really bad name, but it doesn't make the software bad because of a bad name. Bitcoin Unlimited allows you to define your own maximum block size that your node is willing to accept. That's all. It takes power away from the wallet developers and gives it to the nodes. Block size does not belong to the protocol layer, it's just wrong and dumb. |

typical segwit paid fanboy arguments. you can't say anything constructive so you just spit out nonsense. I've been a C++ developer for 10 years, have master's degree in software engineering, been developing bitcoin apps since 2013 and been hodling bitcoins since 2011. I know my shit tech wise. You're the one who barks whatever the "god" gavin tells you without using your own best judgement and common sense. you are everything that is wrong in this world, the following picture is of you, sheep  obey the authority and keep repeating what they tell you, you're a good slave |

This price rise is the result of the sheer world-wide demand, not beceause of BU  Dont tell me you're one of those BU idiots who thinks that Bitcoin will be fine and ready for mainstream with 2mb blocks..I dont know how many time i've told them; Bitcoin cannot go mainstream with only bigger blocks! 1GIG+ blocks are needed for a good shot for mainstream. The internet cannot handle that kind of blocks! Segwit sucks, Segwit is bad etc are comming for those BU noobs who doesnt know that the majority of the Bitcoin ecosystem prefers Segwit for obvious reasons. Bitcoin needs extra layers/side-chains to go mainstream and they prefer Segwit because it's more solid and secure. btw my Trezor hardware wallet loves Segwit more than BU, think about it.. BU is just a short term fix nothing more, you know what happen to the network when we get 2-5 times the influx of new people  then what..blame Trump? Please educate yourself about the essentials of Bitcoin Unlimited. You are deceived by misinformation. |

This could turn out to be a cup and handle pattern. I think 10 000$ bitcoins is a plausible target for 2017.' But why are those periodic with nearly exact time intervals?
They aren't, the gap decreased by about 2 months or about 25%... That's exact enough for me to be called exact. |

Seems like we are recovering quickly from this last shakeout of the weak hands. But why are those periodic with nearly exact time intervals?
Did you try to do the same thing with the all time graph? I just did and the parabola fits in perfectly as well... that is very revealing. If you start drawing the parabolic trajectory at 2 dollars, you'll see the current growth fits in within the line. I don't know what this means but unless something changes, we are still experiencing parabolic growth, in practice bitcoin's uptrend never stopped. No I didn't try that but it is true indeed. |
