Maybe you can try restoring your multibit HD on a completely clean machine, you know, to avoid any contamination? |

Yeh it's that plus sign on the right bottom. That definitely needs to change IMO. Too many people confused by it (including me in beginning.) Just "traditional" reply button location seems much better.
Thanks  Indeed, pretty confusing. But i guess it's just a small learning curve |

Do you thing that now Bitcoins are going up and up, WHY ?
I personally think that in the long run, they will go up. Why? - because less coins will be mined (halving every ~4y) - because coins will get lost - because people will eventually see that bitcoins are secure, fast and cheap, creating a bigger demand So less coins + bigger demand = higher price. But that's just my personal belief. |

Can you pm me where to find the source code, I'll see if I can compile it for Ubuntu 14.04 ( I take it that was what you were asking)
I have some time tomorrow over my lunchbreak
I should probably tell you that we have already settled through PMs In that case, everything is fine  |

Thanks for your answer.
Even if I don't get all the technical things behind the increase of blocksize, I understand that the 1MB limit can be increased if needed.
I assume that if it can be increased to 2MB, It will be possible to make it to 3MB, 4MB,... and so on if needed (there is no limit, right?).
Am I right?
technically, you're right... It's more a concencus problem (people that have to agree when an how big the blocks will become) |

some of these replies actually hurt my eyes... In order to avoid confusion: - the blockchain = the technology behind bitcoin, recording all transactions in a public ledger - blochchain.info = a website that offers services based on the blockchain While the first is merely a piece of technology, the second is a company. The company can possibly do some data mining if they really wanted to. - when you buy bitcoins, usually your name, address, paypal account, credit card, id,... or other forms of identifying information are needed. If somebody (FBI, interpol,...) wanted, they could easily find out who bought coins and on which address they were stored. - when you trade your bitcoins for fiat or for physical services, the same information is needed, and the feds can link your identity to your wallet address. - if somebody is really dedicated, he can follow the trail of the coins, unless you know how to conceil the coin movements (by using mixing services, coinjoin, exchanges,....) This means that it doesn't matter if you use a VPN, tor or the computer in your public library, if you don't know what you're doing, somebody can follow the full trail of the bitcoins, from the moment they were mined, to the moment you bought them, to the exact moment where you traded them for dope, to the moment the dopedealer sold them again for fiat. Luckily, if you're not doing horribly illegal stuff, i'm pretty sure law enforcement has better things to do than to find out who gambled $100 on dice or if you bought $50 worth of weed... I could be mistaking tough Thank you very much for the the simple and yet very informative explanation. I don't think you are mistaken, but if somebody does it would be interesting to see what is he/she thinking. Sorry for the rant... I was just reading this thread yesterday evening, and i saw loads of people claiming that bitcoin was anonymous, and i saw some people that were actually getting confused between the blockchain and blockchain.info, so i made a post trying to clear things up. In retrospect: it needs to be said that a normal user might not be able to track you down, since you'll probably need some warrants in order to get personal info from either the place where you bought coins, or the place where you traded them back for fiat... Also, it needs to be said that there are ways to break the connection between you personally and the coins you have in your wallet (coin mixers, exchanges, coinjoin, freshly mined blocks,...) |

The IP concern can be easily avoided by using a VPN service right? What if some honest guy who has bought Bitcoins on an exchange sent some to his friend who is a bad guy. So the good guy has exposed his ID to the authorities but the bad guy got clean coins in his wallet. How can you find out the identity of the bad guy if he continues to deal with digital cash and doesn't want to withdraw into the physical world?
Because the "good" guy can be identified... When buying coins on an exchange: you need to verify your ID, on other websites you need a verified paypal or credit card. Only localbitcoins and bitcoin ATM's CAN be reasonably anonymous, altough the "good" guy might become "victim" of a sting operation. When the "good" guy sends coins to his "bad" friend, the transaction is logged on the blockchain. When the "bad" guy buys something illegal (for example: drugs), the transaction is logged on the blockchain. If the FBI suspects the dealers wallet to be a wallet used by a criminal, they can trace the coins back to the "bad" guy, and from the "bad" guy's wallet, they can trace them back to the "good" guy... But the "good" guy can be identified when he bought the coins. So, if the "good" guy buys coins on a regular basis, and always sends them to the "bad" guy who always buys illegal stuff, it might happen that the cops knock on the "good" guys door and interrogate him untill he reveals the identity of the "bad" guy. Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous. It can be more or less completely anonymous, but only if you know what you're doing... If you're just buying coins and using them, you CAN be traced by somebody who has a lot of time and money (and has access to court orders) |

Just a fair warning: posting refferal codes on bitcointalk is frowned upon... You might want to remove the link alltogether, and spread it to interested members over PM...

I want ask anyone if i give you 10 Btc what will you do. because i want investment but i have no any good idea to invest it (except gambling) but i don't like dambling.So i want ask you viewS.
Store it on a paper wallet... I have a gut feeling the price will rise in the following year(s), so there's no need to make risky investment in order to get a little bit of (possible) intrest. |

I'm a unix sysadmin with enough experience setting up servers.
I also have more than enough experience setting up/tweaking scripts and optimalisation.
However, i will not get burnt by being a partner in a seedbox company. I don't want to get into any legal problems. This is why i can only offer my service on a per/hour or fixed fee basis (not as a partnership).
If you need somebody to setup your server, install your scripts,... Send me a PM and i'll make you a quote.

Hello,
I heard somewhere that there is a limit of 1 MB per bitcoin for the data related to the transaction of each bitcoin. I also heard that some bitcoin will be unusable (transaction will not be possible anymore for those bitcoin) starting next november because they will exceed their own 1MB limit.
Is there such a limit of 1MB per bitcoin?
It seems you're a bit confused about this No problem: In very simple words: you send bitcoins from an address you controll to a different address by creating a transaction. This transaction basically tells everybody you want to send coins from address A to address B. The transaction is signed by a private key only you hold. Since such a transaction is actually a piece of text, it has a certain size. The way it works: you create a transaction and broadcast it to the network, the bitcoin network bundles all these transactions, and puts them into blocks. At the moment, such a block has a size limit of 1 Mb. On average, 6 blocks an hour are created by the network, limiting the amount of transaction text to 6Mb/hour. You can add a fee (a sort of 'tip') for the person generating the block to give him an incentive to add your transaction to his block instead of somebody else's. The higher the fee, the more chance your transaction will be mined. THIS IS A VERY RUDAMENTARY EXPLANATION, it is not 100% correct, but just to give you a basic idear about blocksizes. |

If it isn't too expensive to run for you, you might be better off putting it at CKs solo pool and hoping to hit lucky. S3s seem to have held their value in relation to other rigs well. My S3 which I just got working again I am going to leave in the solo pool to hit lucky, it is part of a solo experiment.
Sure, you can do this... But the OP should understand it's like buying a lottery ticket... He'll invest money in this setup every day, and the chance of hitting jackpot is VERY small. And IF he hits the jackpot, it'll be a 25 BTC block, worth around $10.000. EDIT: to put things into perspective: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator/?h=441&p=340&pc=0.11&pf=1.00&d=166851513282.77700000&r=25.00000000&er=425.00000000&hc=0.00On average (with all the current conditions about diff, block reward, bitcoin price,...) , it'll take the the OP 18807 days to hit one block (about 51.5 YEARS). Each day, running an S3 will cost him 90 cents. In 51.5 years, the power cost will be $16926. IF he finds a block before the halving, it'll be a nice bonus, but on average, he'll lose money... But like you said: it's lotto mining |
