Insert a new BTCutton shortcut next to the others on the post reply window and its done.
OK. |

This is done using a custom font that I created. If you copy/paste it, it'll turn into "BTC". It'll also show up as "BTC" if you're using a browser that doesn't support custom fonts.
I have no experience creating custom fonts. Send me your font if you can create a better one.
You can use it like "Pay me BTC5".

(btw theymos does not love me either but I'm now too scared to say anything)  :/ Looks like I somehow forgot to post about a few VIP donators. Thanks to VIP donators Brian DeLoach, Canaca, and Goat. |

I am going on hiatus.
theymos has been given the private key corresponding to Bitcoin address 1terryG9vPoB4ktv9w5eGgCKqCfJtoqF5. I have funded the address with 47 BTC — more than enough to settle any outstanding cases.
He has my full permission to use the funds in issuing refunds to any customers who have decided not to accept the refund when offered one, or only accepted a partial refund (they are entitled to the remainder). I am sending a list these users along with the respective amounts to theymos together with the private key. Any other use is strictly forbidden.
I may claim the funds left in the future.
thanks for the lols

OK. Good luck. |

The network provider for the server reports that there will be an outage from 5 PM to 6 PM Central US time on the 20th for maintenance.
I don't know what you would do with this information, but I thought I'd pass it on...

That's a nice attempt. Either way, I'm keeping my BTC in several secure places and the wallet files I'll make sure never touch my PC for security reasons. I look at it as a retirement fund, when I finally get tired of working the 9 to 5 grind, I can tell my boss to shove it with a smile  "Just kidding; I donated it all to Wikileaks" isn't going to hold, although I do see why you would want to get all that heat off your back. Yeah, I find it very hard to believe that he gave up that much money. |

Block timestamps are not exact and are not required to be in order.

I'm not concerned about enough confirmations. I'm actually concerned that it has 10,000 confirmations, and that it was actually spent 3,000 blocks ago, and that I have to search through 10,000 full blocks in order to know whether it's still a valid output. Or, I can ask other nodes for help, but I how do I know to trust them?
SPV nodes keep copies of all of their own transactions, so they should always know when outputs they own are spent. They don't need to query the network for this information. |
|
|

This is the basis of the overlay network that Electrum/Stratum uses.
Electrum and Stratum don't use SPV. Those clients don't keep block headers (AFAIK). BitcoinJ uses SPV. Yes, but how do you know a particular TxOut hasn't been spent since it appeared in the blockchain? I wait until it has 6 confirmations. SPV allows me to determine the number of confirmations accurately (assuming the majority of mining power is honest). |

This doesn't make sense at all. The entirety of all Bitcoin trust relies on trusting "the majority of the network's mining power." That is the security model of Bitcoin itself, and has the benefit that you only need one honest node out of one million to be able to distinguish truth amongst a sea of malicious peers.
If I have a copy of all unspent outputs, the majority of mining power can only change the ordering of transactions (and this ability might be more limited in the future). But a lightweight node will accept double-spends within the block chain, too-high block subsidies, invalid scripts, etc. if the attacker has enough mining power. The issue with SPV is that you have to trust either random peers to give you the correct/complete info, or connect to your own trusted system/subscription to get reliable information. You don't have to trust random peers with SPV. SPV clients have the block headers and can use the Merkle roots to accurately get the number of confirmations for any transaction. |

Trustless lightweight-node support: New nodes entering the network for the first time, will only have to download a tiny amount of data to get full, verifiable knowledge of their balance and how to spend it (much of which can be stored between loads). A single honest peer out of thousands guarantees you get, and recognize, good data.
It doesn't seem trustless to me. Lightweight nodes (not storing all unspent outputs) can't know whether a block is valid, so they need to trust the majority of the network's mining power. This is no more secure than SPV, though possibly a little easier for lightweight nodes. There is an advantage to "mostly-full" nodes who store all unspent transactions: they don't have to download all past blocks to start validating. But a regular Merkle tree of unspent outputs works just as well. Using an alt chain instead of putting the Merkle root in a main-chain transaction seems unnecessarily complex. |

Dear imsaguy,
On behalf of the Bitcoin Forum, I would like to thank you for your generous donation of fifty bitcoins.
Best regards,

I've offered the job to error.
Thanks to all applicants for your interest!

Okay, just like last time, what if I send you the coins now?
Get someone trustworthy to proxy your bids. |

Greece has amazingly few Internet users. Only 45% of people there use the Internet at all, and probably a much smaller percentage are skilled enough to use Bitcoin. I don't think Bitcoin can make significant inroads there.

I'll be sure to not screw up the auction this time. I'll bid 1 spot @ 6 BTC.
You never paid last time and I had to sell your slots on IRC, so I'm not accepting bids from you. Current state: Slots BTC Person 4 5 cablepair 4 2 mc_lovin |
