Somewhat aware of the problem. I expect it's with the size of the files or timing out of the request with the upload. The site was developed just as a quick project to test out bitcoind integration and I didn't expect it to become the only btc file hosting service that seems to still be around. What happened to the others?
There's currently a max filesize upload limit of 2mb and a maximum timeout of 300seconds(or 5 minutes). If either of those are exceeded then it will fail.

I decided The Autoverse is the best name for my upcoming game. So there will be a 6 BTC prize rewarded.
Think you can do better? Go submit a name!
Thanks  One thing I'd say though, you should probably check how the name is being used already before you decide. |

Did anyone notice any links to bitcoinservice on 4chan? I just noticed how high the file number had got up to and found somebody uploaded lots of 4chan /s/tyle images on the 1st april. And they also uploaded a handy script to automate uploading of files ( http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/688) |

I am very interested but this is quite expensive when I do not know what they are like inside.
Can you please explain to me what I will get if I buy the files?
(Also, thanks for using my bitcoinservice site)

The Autoverse (Like Plato's, it comes from one of my favourite novels: Permutation City) |

Note that it really depends on what you need and what content is going in there. Tables have some unusual behaviours that people learnt to rely on that isn't easily reproducible with css.
One of the things that can be (quite stupidly) complex to do is to make a footer stick at the bottom of the page even when the content on the page doesn't make it extend to the bottom, but it is possible. If you require that then let me know.
Even though metal-giant's version makes the page look exactly the same as the simple tables version in your original post, it's likely to not behave exactly the same because it uses some tricks to make it look the same as your tables version (like line-height, which makes the text go into the center vertically which is default with tables, but means you wont be able to have more than one line in there)

Building on error's work somewhat (use the same html with this css): body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
#footer, #header {
background-color: #e7e7e7;
height: 250px;
}
.indent-and-center {
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}Just noticed there's been another post since, but my version is shorter  13DbJQ5np5TYVLRL5G6EuRtXRDBsJ6HrsX |

How are the addresses generated? By that, I mean, what's used to seed the random number generator?
Obviously it's correct that mathematically, collisions are insanely improbable. But if the method used to generate the random numbers is insecure or compromised then that's a much much greater problem. I think on linux /dev/random uses noise from system devices but is this guaranteed? And how does it work on windows?

You could "prove" it's you after the fact by looking at the transaction in block explorer and seeing which addresses/inputs the coins were sent from or the output the change was returned to(The address in the outputs that isn't the one you sent coins to).
You could then send a large (significant enough that the other party would be satisfied that you're not just sending the coins to somebody else in order to "prove" that the address is yours) but unusual amount to one of those addresses after telling the other person how much it will be.

I sent a pm about this but I'd like to make a new offer of 100btc including postage.
Thanks,

I really do think the guy lost his job. He was probably an admin at a hosting company and thought he could make some btc on servers that were not being used (without telling his boss). This is why I was able to get a dedicated server for only 10btc that first time, and why the prices were so good. It's also why he's been moving others around onto different servers. Requests came in for the servers and he'd have to move us off them (as we were the illegitemate customers) onto something else temporarily.
This was generally the impression that I got, but it doesn't really explain why he claims the coins are spent but they haven't moved from the addresses we sent them to. I looked at mtgox and it seems you have to specify how much is going to the account before it gives you an address so I guess he wouldn't have received my second payment of 30 bitcoins since I sent them without warning to the same address as he previously gave me and then sent an email afterwards. So it would still suggest he is lieing about having spent the bitcoins. |

Somewhat glad I'm not the only one. I've also just discovered that he is also lieing, since my 60 bitcoins have not moved from the address that I sent them to (I sent in 2 sets of 30 a week apart): http://blockexplorer.com/address/15XZ56bmKQkzaw9dd463aGJuxHx2ktzKGeWhich makes me far less sympathetic and far more unhappy. Edit: Thinking about it, that could have been an mtgox address so i was sending straight to his account, in which case it'd make sense if they weren't spent but still could be sold. |

I had a 3 month contract here, starting on the 16th January, so I paid Just A Man 60 bitcoins up front. After about 2 weeks he told me I could no longer have that server but offered me a much better one, which satisfied me for the inconvenience at having to change. Yesterday or the day before, he offered the old server back but then changed his mind again and said I could keep the good server. Today, exactly 1 month in, I get the following email: All my services have been suspended and I cannot refund you as I had
sold on my bitcoins. If it's any consolation in terms of the trouble
caused to you, I have also lost my job. I am sorry.
While I appreciate his plight and do not wish to make his life any more difficult right now, it is also important for others to know the experience I have had with Just A Man, which went from very good 1 month ago to very bad now. I would have also appreciated an offer of a refund for the remaining 2 months (that is, 40 bitcoins) once he is back on his feet. I attempted to reply with such before I posted this but his email address is now bouncing. |

when the bitcoin faucet made the transaction sending you 0.05 bitcoins, it got inserted into the block chain. Once your bitcoin client downloaded all of the available blocks, your client saw that transaction in the chain and so you have the money available to spend now.
