YOU HAVE TO FIND A SOLUTION NOT LIMIT SATOSHI DICE
because every possible exploit will be tried and more and more as BitCoin is adapted.
I would rather find a problem no that later!!!!!

what about that log.000000001 files
and db.log
and peer.dat
The log files may be needed if the database was not shut down properly, so you probably don't want to delete those. Peer.dat stores peer nodes, and while you can delete that your node will recreate it by discovering nodes. There can be instances where not having the old peers.dat could be less secure than letting it access peers it has previously discovered. ALSO where else on the Hard Drive/OS could anything be? - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory#Directory_ContentsSo essentially just the wallet.dat has to go |

got this nice aes.json text file as backup for my wallet.
need to import to bitcoinQt asap, if possible.
is there an ELI5 howto somewhere?
This is why I NEVER SEND MYSELF JUST THE ENCRYPTED JSON, but unencrypted as well. rather I encrypt it myslef with tru crypt or something else.... I do not want to just rely on bit coin platforms and how they may choose to handle encryption or have to muck around with scripts etc.... I know my true crypt works, and I use keyfiles for it, images not passowrds so it unforgetable after looking at one image 100+ times and unhackable....do you know how long a jpg image is as a password.....very long |

Having backed up 5 times and sent to 4 separate email addresses my (trucrutp) encrypted wallet.dat and private keys or addresses I now want to know which files on my computer (OSX 10.8.2) do I have to erase to ensure security for bitcoin qt 0.8.0, and multibit. In qt i see obviously wallet.dat but what what about that log.000000001 files and db.log and peer.dat In Multibit I see, info, wallet, properties , gz file etc etc ALSO where else on the Hard Drive/OS could anything be?  |

I've been using Blockchain for a couple of months now. I've sent/received bitcoin on many occassions with no problems. All of sudden today I an unable to log in with my password. I am aware that Blockchain does not store your password locally so I wrote my password down on paper and put it in my safe. It is the same password I use on several of my banking sites, so I know the password well. For some reason I'm unable to log into my Blockchain account and there is no way they are able to help me!! I have this funny little feeling that they maybe have something to do with this. Since I'm unable to get to my money now and that account will just go stale I'm pretty sure that Blockchain will get that money eventually. Maybe they do this on purpose for random accounts? I'm %100 sure that I know my password. It is a little ironic that they don't store your password on their server and can't help me. Strange. So, if you have a lot of money tied up on Blockchain I would send it to your local wallet instead. I'm finding out that the best place to keep your bitcoin is your local wallet and NONE of these online places.
I use last pass that ensures my password is right |

and i'll never be using blockchain.info again What, just because they were moving some servers and were unavailable for some time? Because of this you abandon an otherwise free and awesome service? You really believe they are "just" moving servers they would have given us a large warning first that it was going to happen and the blockchain twitter demonstrates they are lying about something.... @btcblackbird Wallets updated since 4:00 AM need to be restored from Amazon AWS backups. I am writing a tool to do this now. ~1-4 hours.
Blockchain.info @blockchain
Currently aware of a database issue. Investigating now.
This is a database issue, and they were not ready for it. They may be moving servers, because of this but it is certanly not a scheduled upgrade. |

Where do these lunatics come from?
Are you really that fucking stupid? Seriously? You don't see the problem? If you're that stupid i feel sorry for you. Is it an ego thing? I hope so. No, no, nope.jpg, consider, that the value of BTC are much higher and there are many many more people wanting to make transactions, these transaction fees will incentive miners to become transaction processors I think some new coins may be a good thing as many coins will be lost, some how to a cap or a really slow fixed rate release....but some how neither of these things work as they just out you back to square one |

yes this came up for me too mac mini to some hp rack or something ? joke (i hope) [1] did they give any warning of this??? [2] if not then looks dodge. Yeah thought it looked dodgey they would have told us they were upgrading, rather their twitter account reads Blockchain.info @blockchain Currently aware of a database issue. Investigating now. I hope my password is long enough to withstand any attacks!!!! it is long though..... |

If a small website that 99.9999999% of the world population don't even know about is causing a problem for Bitcoin, then what hope do we have. You don't fix a problem in a p2p payment network by politely (or impolitely in this case) asking them to please stop. That's, of course, assuming that this even IS a problem. I agree with Mike. They're the only site that's really testing the real world (as in wide adoption) stability of the network.
If SDice is considered an attack on Bitcoin, Then Bitcoin itself is flawed.
EDIT: I will add, I cannot for the life of me understand why people are willing to play a negative EV game, with a currency that was worth $13 2 months ago and $42 today... It defies all logic.
This beats the Shi% out om too....? I mean maybe lotto with a devaluating currency just for fun....the only explanation can be [1] evolutionary logic short circuit of gamble pleasure outweighs rational odds, and this is osrta what the human race had to do to get a head be able to understand they would most likely die but do the experiment anyway, until one you could find a way to make it work, or a least shut out all possibility, a curious mixture or being able to reason something out then ingnore that reason....this sort thing may drive a AI attempt crazy [2] they though BT was going down, or will go down |

Does Blockchain [1] include a fee on the quick send??? [2] why do some transaction appear as "moved" rather than sent or received [3] does block chain round up the amounts ie it only shows 3 decimal places for bit coins ? |

Because your 1 USD on Ripple is NOT USD, it is an IOU (debt) that is under 100% of circumstances worth less than 1 USD. It is true that counterparty risk reduces the value of the IOU, but the ability to transfer dollars IOUs as easily as one can transfer bitcoins increases the value. Personally I would be willing to keep all my dollars in the Ripple system because I see the combined effect as net positive. I would never keep bitcoins in the Ripple system though, because that just adds counterparty risk without adding any compensating benefit. Unless, of course, certain people are successful at keeping Bitcoin limited to a cripplingly low transaction rate to artificially make blockchain transfers slower and more expensive. tl;dr: Ripple makes dollars more useful. Ripple makes bitcoins less valuable. if (Ripple makes dollars more useful. Ripple makes bitcoins less valuable= true); then {what does XRP do?) |

isn't some high profile Mt Gox person backing/ the force behind / start up person for Ripple? Look two posts above yours. yes this Jed guy....but why and how then did he jump/goto/get pushed out of Mt gox, left of own accord/why? etc to ripple??? |

I got curious and had to look it up. 16 million internet users in 1995 to a billion users ten years later. http://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htmTo mrbiggs point, this is money. Nothing accelerates adoption like people watching other people make money. having said that there is a large entry point for many people nothing scares them like loosing money I mean you cant buy insurance for BTC (yet hmmm maybe a business here) the understanding of the system, the cryptography, legal issues perceived or real, the learing curve will be out of reach for the masses until some killer apps come along |

which may expalin my Mr.CEo of Gox is doing this I'm not following. What is it that you believe the CEO of Mt. Gox is doing? isn't some high profile Mt Gox person backing/ the force behind / start up person for Ripple? |

Simple answer is no.
Their 4 years to 50M for internet is a dubious claim. The first two nodes in the ARPANET which eventually would become the internet was in 1969. I am pretty sure they didn't mean there were 50 million users in 1973. Likely they are using some artificial "start of the commercial" internet and counting 4 years from there.
They're likely confusing WWW with the Internet again. Happens all the time. Probably. Did WWW grow that fast. It "launched" in 1990. 50 million users by 1994? I guess it is plausible although I don't recall it being that popular. I was using mosaic on sun sparcs in 1993 in Australia, surfing the web much as I do now, except search with webcrawler!!!! so maybe ans www 0.2 websites |

Bitcoin will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants; bitcoin will not give him a code of values, if he's evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose,
it certainly may bring happiness, and code of values come out of thermodynamics Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth – the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started.
you start in a deep well that others dug before you were alive and you were born in the well. You have no climbing tools of any kind, or digging, the owners/people at the top of the well drop scraps of food down to you and sometimes water, but really don't care except that when they throw down documents for you to process/write (white collar) and things to assemble (blue collar) these jobs are done. These products are hoisted up in a bucket connected by razorwire so you will never be able to climb it and anyway its not strong. They only keep you alive when you make them profit, this may mean sometimes they drop medications down to you but these are mainly anti depressants so you can feel better about your true situation. They may offer 1/10000000 well people a lotto ticket out, but only do this by making you return more work or eat less for that lotto ticket, so it not really an out it was a regressive tax. But it gave you [false] hope Can you not see It does not matter how smart, hard working, enthusiastic, kind, optimistic or lucky you are, you are structurally you are still and always will be in the well, with no way out ever. So keep believing hard work and smarts will get you there, it wont. |

Does XRP compete with Mt. Gox? effectively it seems to me the Ripple is a system to make multi currency transfer any > any as broad based as possible and lowest margin.... does this mean it is Mt. Gox 2.0 / Forex trading house/system 2.0 which may expalin my Mr.CEo of Gox is doing this, because some one else will if he does not...? |
