Hi all
I know the answer is somewhere but I can't find it, and the search function didn't really help
I had to leave for about a year and I remember that back then only standard transactions were spread through the nodes
The question is simple, did it changed?

En fait c'est le problème de tout bot, par définition...
C'est dommage d'ailleurs, il faudrait trouver un moyen de sécuriser ça.

Genre une validation de la part de MtGox par SMS tous les 20BTC/1000€ dépensés par le bot.

No

When you restrain ONE character to be a precise letter, the odds are (1/62)
When you restrain TWO characters to be a precise letter, the odds are (1/62)^2
etc...
When you restrain ONE character to be an upper case letter or number, the odds are (26upper case+10digits)/(62)=36/62
When you restrain TWO characters to be an upper case letter or number, the odds are [ (26upper case+10digits)/(62) ] ^ 2 = (36/62)^2

Addresses with 6 fixed characters are pretty common (K1773R owns 1K1773RbXRZVRQSSXe9N6N2MUFERvrdu6y), the odds are ~1/57billions
The odds of having an address with only upper case letters and digits is (36/62)^34 ~ 1/17billions
It's about 4 times quicker to find such an address than an address with 6 fixed characters. Far from impossible.

Personnellement je ne pense pas utiliser ce genre de services, au moins à court-terme
Mais par curiosité, c'est nouveau? Le prix en BTC va-t-il changer suivant le taux de change?

About your specific problem, if it's enough tested yeah I find it useful. I spent several hours to implement transactions support in pywallet because back in the days there was no way to delete those famous 0/unconfirmed transactions

I'm also wondering about the case of simple pull requests... What are the requirements to send some and it being accepted?
Make a successful thread about it in dev/tech discussion? Make theymos/Gavin/etc agreeing with you? Nothing? Luck? Prayers to Satoshi?

Linux, OSX, Windows?
Btw I'm sure the answer is on the wiki

I don't know if you know about asymetric cryptography, I'll assume not

It's all about 2 keys: one public P (everybody knows it) and one private V (only you know it)
When you crypt something (like a text) with one key, you can only decrypt the result with the other one (by construction of the keys)

So there are two cases:
1. Somebody crypt a text (like "hello") with P (he can because everybody knows P), then you are the only one to be able to decrypt the message (because only V can decrypt it)
2. You crypt a text with V, then anybody can check (with P) that it is V (hence you) that crypted the message

A transaction uses this system, you put in a message all of these:
1. I can use the money that has been sent to 1xxxxxx (your public address, and an address is equivalent to a public key, P), I prove it by sending a text crypted by V (which is the private key corresponding to the address, being in your wallet)
2. I send money to address 1yyyyyy

In the Bitcoin system there are no such thing as a wallet, just money sent to public keys which is redeemed later

The guy may want to manipulate Bitcoin exchange too by saying that kind of things

Afaik, yes, a unencrypted backed up wallet will still work
But I may have missed an update that made it otherwise

I didn't really understand what happened to you, but I sure can tell you how encryption works

Unencrypted wallets store addresses like this:

When you ask Bitcoin to crypt, it takes your wallet and change the form of addresses like that:
and add encryption info inside the wallet so that Bitcoin knows if the passphrase you provide is correct

The passphrase + the encryption info are the only way to goes from "encrypted private key" to "private key" and "private key" is the only way to redeem your coins

I have 217000, so no use for bootstrap...
And my bandwidth is fully used. I guess I just have to wait

Actually I don't care about mysteries, but I do care about his safety...
I'm sure he would commit suicide with 3 bullets in the head

I'm using bitcoin-qt to test pywallet so I need an environment I know
For personal use, I planned to try it later anyway, along with Armory

0.8.1...


I'm already in bed right now, but if it's not done when I wake up I think that's what I'll do
Thanks for the idea

Not new but I didn't touch Bitcoin for about a year so yeah I didn't think the blockchain would have grown so much
15000 blocks remaining so it shouldn't be too long now

Thanks for the info about blockchain.info btw

The new version of pywallet will allow you to do that
If that interests you, you can either try the beta (already working) or wait for the release

Hi,
It's been 2 days that Bitcoin is downloading the blockchain (from block 1)
I don't think it's normal... Any idea?

Great, thank you guys. I sent you the beta version. Please post in this thread any comment about it.
If other people want to test it just tell me.

I reserved the http://pywallet.tk domain name. It's the updated instructions, you may want to take a look at it.
As you may have noticed (I'm sure you did!), I'm not a native English speaker, so feel free to correct any spelling/grammar/vocabulary mistake may it be in pywallet, pywallet.tk or even in my posts

Edit: Sent to uuidman too

Fake, there are no girls on the internet!

Ça dépend des usages qu'on en a et de la confiance qu'on accord aux sites tiers : pour un usage simple et si tu fais confiance à un site de wallet (vivement que l'Académie française nous trouve un mot pour ça... ) en ligne, autant l'utiliser
Avoir Bitcoin sur ton ordi permet une extrême personnalisation (surtout avec pywallet ), c'est pour les développeurs/"geeks"/parano


Quant à la version 0.8.0 spécifiquement, apparemment les changements sont juste internes, et ces changements ne sont pas précisés dans le changelog : "This is a major release designed to improve performance and handle the increasing volume of transactions on the network."
