how similar is it to deterministic wallet?
would the same seeds produce always the same keys?
or is there a limitation of how many keys one can grow and then the seed would be exhausted?
thanks and cheers!

hi, once you're through the downloading, all your other clients can download the blockchain at the speed of lan from your pioneer installation. or grab a copy of the blockchain from a friend. copying the files from the working directory works just fine.

as terrybits recommended, make an image of the disk first and work on the copy
that way no matter what else goes wrong you damage the copy and can make another one.

depends how much you value speed over other exchange methods.
the fee is not really a show stopper. and if you bought bitcoins last week you're on the safe side

hooray! : )


there was this issue with Tor that as soon as you run a stable node, it gets high traffic as the network routes more and more through that node. probably folks gave up turning theirs off and on again. either you shape available bandwidth or tune tor to only consume a fair share of resources and then it might be sustainable. I hope I'm wrong and running tor is not an issue anymore

thanks, that's what I aim to do. setup one of my clients to work only through tor network. limiting connections to those with .onion addresses only and see how it works.

me too. but he's not responding to shipping price inquiries.
looks like they are not available at memory dealers (or any other partner shop) but only at his home page, the 29 btc price did not changed since a long time (seems fixed) and I want them badly

I suppose to start using bitcoin client over tor I need to set it up with -addnode values of tor nodes?

this guy does it for 10% (suddenly virwox is cheap )

I use apache fop for creating pdf files
it uses a stylesheet (set of rules how to organize information on the print / pdf - layout rules) - here bar.xslt
 and data (key, address pairs, optional paths to qr images) in an xml file - here foo.xml

In this example running this command:
 ./fop -xml data/foo.xml -xsl data/bar.xslt -pdf data/1.pdf -dpi 600

as you may guess inside the working directory with my fop.jar I have directory data with the stylesheet and data xml and where my output pdf appears. the options are virtually countless. I came across fop few years ago and used it to generate our company phone book from a raw sql dump to xml to pdf (adding table of contet with hypertext document links, images, borders and stuff).

printing 'simple' pdf files is a piece of cake.
seems to me you're not aware of this tool.

same problem here. I just liked the time span that it gives an illusion of long term peace. (no new war in next 12 months)

I just donated 3.5 to an educational website (lost profit from a bet) and hope Iran is safe from US invasion

I confirm the refund & Thanks for the tip!

ok, you use linden as emulsifier here.
I wonder who deals with the chargebacks in such tx.

bitcoin has/runs a fully working testnet, separate namespace for addresses, separate block chain
and gavin is giving away 50 testnet bitcoins per request (google testnet bitcoin faucet)
you can even mine there with the -testnet switch if you're patient enough

or you can run your local testnet bitcoin on localhost (google bitcoin testnet in a box, a thread in this forum)

not sure if you find any exchange from paypal to bitcoin. they do not mix well (like water and fat)

this story/joke never gets old
firs seen when the us sub-prime mortgages started to fail in 2008

I'm in Europe. If I buy a certificate from you and try to redeem it with my next purchase you want to know if it was accepted?
let me be your guinea-pig.

edit: i like how you use the block numbers to indicate time, when you'll dispatch the certificates. you're doing it right

edit2: no worky. explanation: the amazon certificate comes from Amazon Payments and they need to "verify" the account. part of the process is an US based address (country is hardcoded, seems no way for me to register with the amazon payments site and redeem the code)

down the email I read:
After accepting this payment you may:
 *  Use your Amazon Payments balance to shop on Amazon.com
...

not mentioning amazon.de or any site near me. test finished. might work for someone else outside of the US to shop and pay but not sure how they want to pass the redeeming/verification step where required country is US.

edit3: the exchange from btc to amazon payment was smooth. just like (or better than) buying btc with paypal back in april

I'm interested. please PM me with bitcoin address. Thanks
just to confirm, I send you 1.85 and you send me the two coins? (europe)
