I would love this but simply showing mtgox prices.
402  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: See NOW NOW NOW http://live.twit.tv !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on: February 09, 2011, 07:25:38 PM
It says bitcoin, but hes talking about something entirely different. Sad
403  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: new bitcoin website on: February 07, 2011, 01:39:59 PM
Got error first time trying, worked after refresh.

I like the site. Suggestion: Log scale for the difficulty chart.



Hmm, I got this exact same behaviour too. I also get this _every_ time when going to the betpoker site?

... but it does look like ...

there are websites that let you type messages into a template picture and show you the result
this does not prove anything

Agreed. I really, really wish this was true. Not that I want to use the service *cough* but we need real services-for-btc!
405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't sell yourselves out on: February 04, 2011, 04:40:40 PM
It will also be nice to see implementations in other languages such as Java, Perl, Ruby etc. Having a (much) larger developer base to contribute or review the code will help

Yeah, we dont want to do what skype has done at least twice: huge bugs taking down their entire p2p network, due to a homogenous makeup of the code in the clients.
406  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin bottleneck on: February 04, 2011, 04:36:37 PM
We might also consider shortening the ten minute target interval. Making it five minutes would greatly reduce the chance of a long wait.


What are the drawbacks of shorter intervals? I dont see any, except maybe larger overhead in general because of more blocks, but that should be manageable.
407  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (>10000Mhash/s, join us!) on: February 02, 2011, 11:17:36 AM
Hi, I'm connecting to the pool through Tor.  What's to stop a tor exit node sniffing my data, and claiming my shares for itself?  Can the bitcoin getwork() interface be encrypted?  Just to let you know, it hasn't happened yet I think.  I did lose one share yesterday, but it might be network latency.
You'd have to be really unlucky, it would be more lucrative to just replace all ads on the Webpages you visit with it's own Cheesy
The Tor Proxy would have to be custom coded to intercept your pool communication and we're far from being big enough for it to pay for the hack.

Tor requires end-to-end encryption to be safe against eavesdropping, and thats nothing new.
408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / MtGox account compromised on: February 01, 2011, 02:19:21 PM
When was this bruteforcing done? I have a weird (I think) transaction on my mt gox account:

Code:
When	           Type	          Description	Delta BTC	Delta USD	Total BTC	Total USD
01/24/11 00:17 Payment Process   united         0 0         0          0
409  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Reducing block time variability on: February 01, 2011, 01:54:13 PM
Reducing variability likely increases the chances of several miners finding solutions at the same time!

Which might be bad.
410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which countries have the cheapest electricity? on: January 21, 2011, 02:46:58 PM
Set up your own windmill for your household needs and generate bitcoin only when there is excess electricity at peak times.

Then you are getting your electricity for free.

Thats a pretty cool idea. Too bad about the hw going unused for most of the time!
411  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Android Bitcoin Client Bounty (1740 BTC pledged) on: January 19, 2011, 11:08:56 AM
Please don't anyone think of a "bounty" in terms of it being "a fair market price" for services.... as if someone was being "hired" to develop software.

Market prices are never fair, are they? Smiley They're just... optimized.

Anyway, is anyone continuing work on this even without the huge bounty?
412  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Android Bitcoin Client Bounty (1740 BTC pledged) on: January 10, 2011, 08:55:39 PM
I would rather have a wallet. That remote is not very user-friendly. (Think your mom).
413  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin over Freenet (350BTC in total) on: January 09, 2011, 11:49:53 AM
I know the freenet people are discussing various performance bottlenecks in regard to sone and maybe freetalk. I think the same principles might apply to this.
414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ewallet provider w/ web-based keyboard? on: January 05, 2011, 12:58:11 PM
modern keyloggers take screenshots on every mouse click... Tongue
I guess I'll have to implement penile biometric identification on bitcoin central with a modified fleshlight.

My god, this post is so disturbed and awesome at the same time!
415  Economy / Marketplace / Re: MtGox now accepting bank transfers from Europe on: January 01, 2011, 02:17:30 PM
Awesome! Smiley
416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Greetings all on: December 24, 2010, 12:34:44 AM
Christmas, people travelling and turning computers off?
417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitDNS and Generalizing Bitcoin on: December 01, 2010, 08:26:14 AM
If you just allow any number of applications "on top" of bitcoin, isn't that a bit messy? Suddenly some guy says he invented this bitdns2 where all domains are available!

Maybe make it a tad bit hard to add applications?
418  Economy / Marketplace / Re: BitcoinGateway.com (now accepting Visa/Mastercard) on: November 29, 2010, 10:52:49 AM
Have you thought about using 3D secure?

I would live this over the US-centric calling system Smiley
419  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Android Bitcoin Client Bounty (1740 BTC pledged) on: November 27, 2010, 10:37:13 AM
How big is the wallet file?

I think a very useful feature would be to somehow back it up to some google cloud service. I know docs now allows generic file uploads and 1GB is included from the start. I know not everyone _needs_ to even have a google account when you are using an android phone, but its likely 99.9% does.
420  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Chrome Bitcoin Extension Bounty(260 and more BTC were paid.) on: November 27, 2010, 10:31:11 AM
Oh, I sent ~37 btc quite a while ago.

My wallet is empty at the moment after "difficulties" at getting liberty reserve.
