Having artificially limit does not provide any meaningful prevention. Nodes should have better rules for that and there are already antispam filter rules you can use.
Should have or are implemented? Examples? -attack on person no real argument-
The only valid argument regarding bigger blocks is blocks relaying. Sadly we dont any useful discussion about it on this forum. You can search elsewhere for that. Its been discussed and being tested right now.
BIP101 is not a rush, its already conservative. The blocksize limit debate has been going on for more than 2 yrs now. Slowing down is just a dumb reflection of the topic.
Increased costs for private run 24/7 nodes might not be an issue for you, but for me it is. Without pruning I could not continue to run my node. Just because its not an issue for you does not mean its not an issue. This is exactly the point. The goal is to keep a higher number of full nodes because they are important for the network. O(1) propagation is discussed and tested yes, but from what I read not read to go live. Same for pruning with wallets. BIP101 addresses none of the issues, but TX spam related delays. The most recent attack (sig OP spam) would still be possible and would still have resulted in higher fees, there are over 10k TX in backlog constantly, yet not all blocks are full. This is not solved by just increasing the size. Its also dangerous to just force a fork on the live network as the last test on testnet have shown. If miners would switch to BIP101/XT en masse without further agreement from the rest of the bitcoin community it would very likely make the network unusable for weeks. |

Blocksize limit does not prevent spam or reduce spam any more effective than having rules enforced by nodes.
Its prevents spam that fills up the disks of nodes, which is why it was implemented. This has been covered many times. I get sick of seeing this same false BS feed by Blockstream folks.
I have no affiliations with that company. I think block should be bigger you might have missed that. I just think it should not be rushed. -snip-
Stupid ppl still argue that "we have lots of time." " blocksize limit is there because of spam"
The argument is not "we have time", but "better slow and good instead of rushed and broken". |

As you can tell by my reputation I am new to bitcoin talk so I apologize for anything that I do/say that doesn't fit into the bitcoin talk standards. Just tell me below if there is something that seems off. Anyways I have a $15 Itunes card that I am attempting to sell. Would I be able to find somebody to sell the card to here or would that be something that I would do elsewhere? If I can make this trade at here at bitcoin talk then how should I go about my sale? All replies are appreciated thank you!
You can sell it here in the digital goods section -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0Since your account was litteraly just created I suggest you offer escrow. Here is a list -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0Here is an explanation -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133931.msg1431810#msg1431810 |

How about you stop being cheap and start including a higher fee? I've had no problems transacting ever (IIRC). I add a pretty high fee and it ends up usually confirming within the next block. Another factor to consider is the priority of your coins on your addresses (could be e.g. low). If you combine a lower fee with that it could explain your situation in general.
-snip-
How about you got a fucking clue b4 openning your mouth like an idiot? Its true though, most issues due to attacks (spam TX, OP spam) are solved by paying a higher fee. Cheap is a relative term. Unless you're too narrow minded to see bitcoin needs to work for many other countries beside USA.
Currently bitcoin tx fees are artificially driven thanks to artificially blocksize limit. This is like having ISP cartels dictates your Netflix expense.
Your metaphor is bad. The blocksize limit was put in place in fear of spam. So its like Netflix allowing only X movies or episodes to be watched at a time over all users because they are afraid their servers cant handle the load, which might crash the service and affect all users. Im pretty sure Netflix has these limits put in place, but because its a central service its easy for them to increase the limits (more servers, more bandwith). Bitcoin handled the spam very well, the question is whether there will be enough people running nodes if the blocksize is increased too high and if there are actually bigger blocks despite a higher limite because miners are afraid of orphans. There are possible solutions. Rushing to the first best is not a good idea though. Alot of blocks are full now. Hopefully the blocksize gets increased sooner rather then later.
Not all of them are full out of the last six blocks. Height Age Transactions Total Sent Relayed By Size (kB) 386078 21 minutes 284 1,337.94 BTC F2Pool 976.54 386077 22 minutes 1808 36,261.60 BTC BitFury 971.84 386076 30 minutes 1720 31,228.98 BTC BitFury 968.77 386075 49 minutes 1450 49,481.13 BTC AntPool 912.46 386074 1 hour 0 minutes 2232 34,151.33 BTC KnCMiner 912.66 386073 1 hour 12 minutes 2 25.26 BTC BTCC Pool 0.42 The last block by BTCC Pool was 0.42 kB in size compared to over 900 kB for all the other five blocks. BTCC Pool could help alleviate this attack on the network by including its fair share of transactions in its blocks. ...because BTCC found the block 386072 as well within the same minute. They flush their mempool once they found a block AFAIK. |

thanks ranochigo for your help, i have sent the signed message to theymos. Waiting for his reply.
When was the last time you had access to your account? |

Well if you have alot of money, and armed guards I dont think people will just do an armed robbery against you. Its far more likely that an infiltration can occur, so that is the risk you need to worry about.
My point exactly. The guards are a security risk as well as a feature. What is "IDS"?

Signature checks out, left a negative rating.
The password for was not "reset", but changed. So someone knows your old password. Most commonly the reason would be that you used it elsewhere.
Edit: words.

How can we improve, if we do not receive any explanation on what we did wrong?
Dont post in self mod threads. There is nothing you have to do wrong in order for your posts there to get deleted. The person starting the thread can just delete them because the day is sunny (or rainy) or their coffee was unusual cold. Yup BUT ! Mod's do and have deleted my comments on self moderated topics before. Don't assume it's the topic starter. -snip- I dont assume, I read. -snip-

9) Military-grade offline wallet storage
Description: An offline cold storage wallet, locked inside a electromagnetically shielded underground bunker room with radio signal shielding too that is empty with only: 1 PC, 1 chair, 1 table inside it, the entrance that is guarded by armed men and surveiled with multiple video cameras to prevent unauthorized personnel tampering the PC, and the only point of access off the PC is either reusable CD or a QR code based system to transfer the data from offline PC to online. Nothing can be plugged into that offline PC. And then when moving the data to the online PC only additional precautions are needed if you want your privacy shielded too, otherwise the bunker room is enough.
Pro's: Totally safe.
Con's: At this point the bitcoin can only be stolen by finding exploit in the protocol itself or by using an invisibility ring to get past the detection and steal the bitcoins. It is very expensive and unpractical, but its the only way to ensure that bitcoins are 100% safe.
Risk of bitcoin being stolen: █ █ █ █ █ █
*rofl*  I hope you tested if this type of storage is really as safe as you believe?  I think your list will give newbies some hints about the risks. Though i doubt that any normal user will use your 9th solution. I would say its less secure than 8, because you have to rely on the guards to actually do their job. Its certainly not 100% either you have to get the transactions online somehow. If you use an USB Stick for this with malicous firmware all the gards cant help you. There is no attacker scenario at all. The OP also misses honey pots, IDS just to name two high level methods. Wreckless is not a word. |

-snip- But if you post the most in off topic, does that automatically mean that you should be banned?.....  From what I see I assume that this is BadBears stance, yes. Is there a rule that you cannot post the most in off-topic? If so, will you please show me?
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules. |

Can something be done about this guy?
Did you report the posts? He's been harassing me. He's spamming with bs on all my topics, saying that I'm a scammer without any proof.
Get a thicker skin. -snip-
Ban him for a week or something, ffs. Why do you guys even allow scammers exist in this forum?
-snip-
Because it would require moderators to decide what is a scam and what not. It would also lead to a false sense of security in terms of "there cant be scammers here, because they are banned". |

Assuming you are using bitcoin core, theoretically, you only need to copy "wallet.dat" to another computer and you can access the same set of addresses. I am not sure whether both wallets will create the same address when you create a new address in both wallets. Better not do this way, or only create new addresses on one wallet and copy to the other.
As long as the hidden pool of addresses (100 by default) is not used they create the same addresses even for change. Afterwards however the addresses will be different. So over time the 3 instances of the same wallet.dat will change and no longer be in sync. HD wallets (armory, electrum, multibit HD) are better for this. |

I cannot lock or change that inital thread. I can control only the thread about DMD Diamond which we have created after this coin takeover.
This initial abandoned thread s been created by the old dev who s not around for years.
Did you try to report it to be moved to archival? |

I will start using this is the official BetKing.io account instead of the PocketRocketsCasino one.
Would you confirm that from your other account? |

As the title says, why is the activity required for Legendary random? Why is this rank so special? It's just another rank. And besides the sig campaign pay, I can't find anything different about it than a Hero member rank. It seems pretty weird to me, and can be kind of depressing if you are one of the unlucky ones who gets Legendary at like, 1000 activity xD
You will become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity and it is random per user. Refer hereLegendary is special because you will be respected by the community and it is not because you have higher rank than the others, but it is because you have been in the forum for years. That is why the Legendary member is special.If you believe that you have not been here long enough. Anyone can just buy a legendary account for the right price. There is nothing special about any rank here. Dont get fooled by the shiny coins. |

Run out of addresses ?? i believe addresses are infinite
They are not infinite, there is just so many possible addresses out there that for all intents and purposes, it is infinite. Please can you clarify more? is the statement "running out of addresses" true or false ? Its false. There are 2 161 possible addresses. 2 160 for the way the hash ripemd160 works and double that for the two possible prefixes '1' and '3'. Even if every person (assuming 10 billion) on earth uses a million addresses per second it will last ~ 9,268,782,580,738,856,660,348,077 years |
