I'm expecting that clients will become more clever about how they interact with other coins or bad addresses.

Right now I have


Where I could just have

Coins maybe should not behave like they are in a vacuum. They have to avoid rpcport and decide whether their addresses overlap, so why not be considerate about usability? Maybe it'll happen naturally but the sooner a standard is set the more likely all will use it; otherwise we'll end up with a multitude Bitpay et al doing their own management of one person - one reference point. It's not as if cryptocurrencies are likely to be bound by locations.. everyone will see many flavours at this rate.

I knew DVC was mapped to BTC as that's the idea behind rewarding devs but surprised that TRC chose to do that.

I'm thinking more about how to manage multiple flavours of currency through one contact point. You only need to look at some sigs here to see that declaring multiple addresses is rather inelegant.

I wondered that since each currencies address is distinct, there might be an opportunity to make life simple for merchants and have one address that can accept all coins.

?..

Don't want to knock it but then these physical coins/cards do just seem like an opportunity for someone to do a fraud with them.. cf gold bars with other metal on the inside. You can't have confidence until you action and once done, it's worthless (unless you reseal it).

What I wanted to see is a debit card that would allow topup to a bitcoin address, with the obvious QR barcode for bar code scanners to read.. but that's the inverse of this it seems.

When you send BTC the remainder goes to a new address. The wallet holds upto ~100 addresses for transactions. Perhaps you're just reading it wrong.

bitcoinminer's reply looks clear enough.

btcaddress.org leads to a default looking GoDaddy address. Sounds like user error.

If you want a new wallet, perhaps just move the existing one and bitcoin-qt will create a new one.

Also, windows.. when you have Ubuntu to hand.. replace user.

Is it there and I can't see it? Source and time/frequency of last update.. a simple grid of numbers, could be badly out of date and/or from a poor sample/unrepresentative exchange.

I wonder if it would be possible to add a suggestion of the latest build for each. I've yet to find a single point of reference for knowing the version or date of the last update.

You're welcome bitsire.

Dalkore - never received the 0.02BTC you promised..

You can set a loan for my account?.. what I lend you 300 and you're committing to paying 375 back?

Ok try it, if that's what it does.. rJ2zDmzhxQNspB6RsxKgp8Ro1odEsACCEx

Sry bit slow.. now see you're replying to OP
Interesting to hear that's possible though.

Ok Dalkore that's sent.. spend the wisely..

I expect that's a bargain at 0.02BTC but reflects their value to me atm.. we'll see who gets the best of this deal



btc this Board's limit on posting is irritating, doesn't even bother to save the text of the post not made because post was made within 60 sec! noob admins!!

Again guessing .. it's not the USE_UPNP=1 issue is it?.. use USE_UPNP= instead seems to be the better default for a few of these.

Bytecoin.. is that the one started on April 1st?..

I've no idea but others need to be made as sudo not user, otherwise fails with variety of errors.

I have 30000 XRP and nothing to do with them.. you're offering BTC!?

I'll try sending you 300 now for free; if you want more, let me know.

BTC.dat perhaps should be named wallet.dat and be in the default location, which on linux is ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat
or import the private key if that is what the .txt is.

Import is commandline only I think and simple to do..
bitcoind importprivkey "5yourveryveryveryverylongprivatekeystring"


Bitcoin address is not the same as the private key though.. he needs to have backuped the wallet and perhaps did that from the GUI saved as a BTC.dat name that he would recognize.

Most of the recent peak I wonder was those looking for quick profit rather than understanding Bitcoin. So long as a base floor of those holding coins increases, there won't be a problem with Bitcoin establishing itself. I'm very encouraged by what I've seen to date and expect we'll see the results from of a lot of investment in Bitcoin's future over the next year or two. Obviously exchanges are not coins. I expect some larger investors might start to understand Bitcoin's potential and then perhaps even the media will understand the opportunity here. All takes time.

That might be the case for the future, but while the currency draws wealth into it and while it finds stability, it doesn't really matter how that happens. Exchanges will be subject to those looking to leverage a quick profit.. but really who day-trades currencies.. I've little sympathy for those who jump in and out quickly, whether they get lucky or get stung.

Buy; Hold; and Spend - with a disregard for the value against other currencies.

Perhaps should encourage people to reply with their experience of these too.

for me
MtGox is good all round, except for their capability to deal with HFT/ddos and their communicating what is going on in a timely manner.
Vircurex good for movement between coins types but could do with growing and would be more use with GBP deposits.

the only other I've seen is BTC-e - to me looks like the 4chan of exchanges with a chatter troll box you can't get rid of; perhaps Russians like that noise..

Tick boxes would allow more than one vote. Those voting for more than one dilute their own vote; overall the voting balances, if there are enough votes.
