Is this the first bitcointalk.org topic?
What happened with topic 1,2,3 and 4?
1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address). |

it only works occasionally for me. When it doesn't, I just get the little "x" bubble instead of the whole "pay with bitcoins" box.
I see the same thing, though it's never working for me. |

Is the watchlist down for everyone or just me?
In what way is it down? |

Clicking "Download Torrent" isn't working anymore.

sounds good to me! Just wondering why no bcrypt?
bcrypt is no more difficult to brute-force than SHA-256 is with an appropriate number of rounds. But SHA-256, unlike Blowfish, is recommended by NIST and other standards organizations for password hashing, and it was specifically designed for one-way hashing. I also have an aversion to any overly-hyped technology. |

This probably doesn't even need to be said, but theymos paid on time and in full. Not to mention it was a pleasure to work with him on this little project. I'm happy, and I am standing by in case there are any unforeseen issues.
Thank you for your nice work on this. |

OK, it's done. Tell me if there are any problems.

What processor is being used if you don't mind me asking?
/proc/cpuinfo says "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz". This might be virtual, though. |
|
|
|
Will that result in a noticeable delay in logging in?
No. It's pretty fast. |

Great! Just curious, what hashing algorithm are you switching from/to? And will this require a password reset?
The default algorithm is SHA-1 salted with the lowercase username. The new algorithm is 7500 rounds of SHA-256 salted with 12 bytes of random data. Your password will be automatically upgraded to the new algorithm next time you login. I will log everyone out so that a lot of passwords are upgraded right away. |

In an hour from this post, I will disable posting for most members, backup the forum database, and apply error's patch to SMF which upgrades the password hashing algorithm. This will probably take 30-60 minutes, or longer if something goes wrong. Don't write any long messages close to this time or you might lose your message.

I just noticed that NameCheap offers RapidSSL certs for $11 per year, which seems even better.

StartSSL's OCSP server has been down recently, which has been making the forum slow to load. I'm going to move the forum to a different CA. Any recommendations?
COMODO has had several security breaches. These security breaches don't affect COMODO customers any more than other HTTPS sites (due to the way CA authentication works), but I'm worried that COMODO will be removed from browsers at some point. I won't give any money to GoDaddy. So I was thinking of choosing Network Solutions, which seems to be the cheapest remaining option.

Ok, I was wrong, MT.GOX owns it.
This is also untrue. |

Assuming pirateat40 does eventually default, how do you guys think BTC will be affected? Surely it will be fine in the long run, but how much BTC is really invested in this?
My guess is that there will be a small decrease in price due to bad press about Bitcoin in general. |

OpenID is a required feature for the new forum software. Then you'll be able to use an OpenID provider that supports two-factor authentication.
