Okay - refer to this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

Just create it the raw tx (with no fee) but don't send it and check its size (and the age of UTXOs if necessary) - remember that paying the fee is simply reducing one of the outputs (generally the change one) by the appropriate amount.

Tax?

Are you trying to work out a tx *fee* amount?

That was why the question about the block height - by looking up the block # the same as yours was supposed to be you should find the answer (bear in mind timestamps are not exact indication as they depend upon each miner's computer clock).

Quite possibly yours was not the only correct answer (i.e. two solutions appeared at around the same time).

This happens often on the Bitcoin network so I guess it might also be the case with the Litecoin network.

It just seems to have veered off from *charities* which was where it started - I am sorry if my post was wrong (although I don't appreciate being questioned as to whether I am "high") - feel free to ask a mod to delete both those posts (his response to my post doesn't make him look so good either).

I was one of the first to donate and did so 3 times but I just don't think this thing is working like it used to (and am not keen on the "new way").

Hope this clarifies things.

Maybe I missed something with the whole documentary thing going on as I have never heard of this one before that post - I thought only Bruno was to be contacting the charities on behalf of Bitcoin 100 and so this didn't seem right to me.

(especially after https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.msg1673306#msg1673306)

In any case I have now given up on this organisation and wish you all the best of luck.

No - but it seems that Bitcoin 100 has become derailed anyway so feel free to keep at it then.

What has this got to do with Bitcoin 100?

You do know that it is very poor netiquette to advertise in a thread such as this?

An interesting idea - do have an estimate of the % of tx's that this approach would be applicable to?

Thanks.


For the CIYAM project itself (which *is* the framework) it is indeed mostly targeted at programmers but we are now working on bringing in designers and graphic artists.

You would only need to learn my framework if you wanted to work on the CIYAM project (other projects have already been created and more will be coming soon).


Basically I wanted to develop something that is much more secure than what is generally being used and also I just didn't want to bother with scripting languages.

(as for what CIYAM stands for - that might be the subject of a competition)

Guys CIYAM Open (http://ciyam.org/open) has been designed specifically to provide a more professional (i.e. not bounties) approach to working online for BTC (task specific and with only one person working on a task with a pre-allocated BTC amount for each task).

The site is awaiting some redesign work and a facelift before it gets re-launched - if you guys want to be involved you are welcome to PM me.

You can also use brainwallet.org offline and from memory the .js has arguments for the type of QR code and level of error correction (I did play around with the QR code "type" but didn't play with the error correction).

Having an *expert* mode is the right approach - there are many reasons why expert users might want/need "Coin Control" - to stop them having it to "protect the newbies" doesn't make any sense at all.

Why do you want to delete your wallet?

Indeed it can - although your farts will need to first be obfuscated by an "anonymous fart" service.

That was really my point (that you would *need* to use escrow) but apparently the OP doesn't want to involve an escrow at all.

A bank will seize your house or car if you don't repay but they would not be able to size your BTC (so it's a *useless* asset if it is not held in escrow).

Oh - sorry - has it has been used it should not longer be "reserved" (the addresses that are marked as "reserved" are ones that you have not yet used either through creating an address explicitly or implicitly for receiving "change").

I cannot even *use* IE with a bunch of my own Javascript - they don't do JS properly (nor probably care).

It's entirely up to you which browser you want to use but don't expect that everyone should change things to suit bad software.

Sorry - I must have got confused - but glad that you worked out the answer - are you suggesting that Bitcoin should be changed to allow for quicker mining of blocks?
