41  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Instawallet down? on: June 08, 2011, 01:17:47 AM
I'm taking a guess here:
Instawallet is run by the same guy as Bitcoinmonitor.com. Bitcoinmonitor doesn't show transactions in the network anymore all of a sudden, only Trades. I guess the server's Bitcoin-daemon crashed, which would cause the Bitcoinmonitor-Symptoms and also Instawallet throwing an error. No need to worry.

Look up "Transaction fees" Wink

I said it's irrelevant.

Transaction fees are 1 or 2 incomes for miners.

If you remove 1 income (block generation reward), then you decrease the profits of miners.  If you decrease a source of income, hash will likely drop.  Who cares?

If hash drops the network is less secure and prone to attack.
If in 2040 Bitcoin is still alive, there will be much more transactions per block, which also means much more transaction fees. Block Generation Reward will be nothing compared to transaction fees by then, so it doesn't matter if it's removed. Mining will still be profitable.
This has been discussed before.

Skills Required:
PHP, MySQL, Java, Ruby On Rails, C++

If they wanted to create a decentralized currency they wouldn't use MySQL I think.

46  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Large German lobby organization supports ban on Bitcoins on: June 03, 2011, 11:11:46 AM
Guess which online money transfer providers are a member of the lobby organization!
Then have a look at this list on the website of the lobby organization: http://payment.bvdw.org/der-payment-markt/anbieter.html

Those aren't actually their members. They are just listing what payment providers there are. Their members are listed on this page:

http://www.bvdw.org/der-bvdw/mitgliedschaft/mitgliedsunternehmen.html

The payment providers that are actually members of BVDW are:

  • deal united
  • Giropay
  • Hi-media Deutschland
  • Deutsche Telekom
  • SafetyPay
  • Payback GmbH

There may be others that are not on the list of payment providers or are on there under a different name.
Don't forget
  • eBay GmbH
  • eBay Limited, eBay Advertising Group Deutschland
PayPal belongs to eBay I think
47  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Embedable Javascript Bitcoin miner for your website on: June 01, 2011, 01:13:56 AM
Excuse me for being a buzzkill, but this is pure Bullshit.
I really hate the idea of websites forcing me to mine for them without even noticing me. Also, due to the inefficiency of javascript, the hash-rate is ridiculously low, so this is just a criminal waste of electricity.
If you want to monetize your website, use ads or ask for donations, but don't contribute to the already big ecological footprint of bitcoin.
I will block the api.bitp.it-domain now and I urge everyone to do the same!

51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Odd pattern in BitcoinMonitor on: April 19, 2011, 02:39:14 PM

There are multiple transactions showing up which have a combined size of 94600 BTC.
Is this a double-spending attempt or does someone actually have multiple chunks of 94600 BTC?
52  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Fantasy and Science Fiction 2D isometric RPG, come spend your bitcoins... on: April 08, 2011, 03:07:25 PM
Alpha/Beta (development) stage 2D isometric roleplaying universe now accepts bitcoins as well as various alternate block chain currencies based on bitcoin code.
Wat?
Oh please no.

1. Download http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=account (Rightclick, 'save target as') and save it as a .html-file
2. Open the html-File in a text-Editor like Notepad
3. Search for "name="oldpasswrd" size="20" "
4. Replace size="20" with size="64"
5. Save file.
6. Open the file in your Browser
7. Huh
8. Profit.

Untested, but it should do the trick.

This should be fixed in the forum-software though.

Awesome art and nice idea to make a bitcoin-contest out of it.
56  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The amount of data Bitcoin-transactions produce on: March 04, 2011, 11:01:51 PM
Oh, I didn't know that. I have to admit that the whole concept still confuses me from time to time. Thank you!
However, 4 million transactions a day would still produce a volume of 2.4 GB which every active client has to download, whether this data is actually saved in the long term or not.
2.4 GB per day are 100MB per hour. It's possible with current broadband-connections, but it would still clog a major part of one's internet-connection.
57  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / The amount of data Bitcoin-transactions produce on: March 04, 2011, 10:49:21 PM
Here's a thing that worries me regarding the possible future growth of Bitcoin:
As I have understood it, every peer has a dataset of every transaction ever made in Bitcoins. I've looked into a block at blockexplorer.com and have estimated a single transaction to average at a size of 600 Byte.
Now there is PayPal. According to this article Paypal handles nearly 4 million transactions per day.
Now let's assume Bitcoin will grow to the same size as Paypal. 4 million transactions would produce a datavolume of 2.4GB a day. That is a lot, even considering Moore's law.
Also don't forget that Bitcoin is much more useful for microtransactions than Paypal, so with the same userbase it would produce even more transactions.
Does this radically limit Bitcoin's growth or have I missed something?
