Love the Blueseed idea, hope it succeeds.

Recommend paying via Bitcoin, but perhaps due to volatility lock your prices at some other currency.

yes, i understand zero-confirmations it's unsafe, the problem is the users, does everyone understand? they don't want to wait 10 minutes for a confirmation

of their online pizza purchase... they want it now.

I will support this and to keep the block-size the same if the bitcoin speed was increased to 2 minutes for example.
Then no problem waiting for confirmations.

Use a service layered on top of bitcoin, that provides the instant+secure guarantees you want.

Anyone know when 0.8.2 gets released?

Hopefully the first release candidate, will full release notes, will be posted soon (days not weeks).

544  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Reminder: zero-conf is not safe; $1000USD reward posted for replace-by-fee patch on: May 09, 2013, 04:44:28 PM
It should never allow you to reemplace a transaction, or to change outputs,
it should allow you to give more priority to a transaction that it's stuck on the limbo of 0 fee/smaller fee transactions.

Only replace the transaction if it's the same transaction with bigger fee. to the same outputs.

Any other thing is not bitcoin, btc is not reversible.
or you just killed satoshi dice.

Zero-confirmation transactions were never safe.  Note that Satoshi DICE apparently waits for confirmations, on higher value bets -- an admission that SD themselves know zero-conf are not safe.

However, with regards to transaction replacement, it should be noted that it introduces race conditions that increase non-determinism.

The first step towards improved determinism is, instead, making transactions expire after a certain amount of time in memory pools, without being mined.

very exciting! every additional full implementation will make Bitcoin stronger and more independent in the long run.

548  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Sending coins to trash -- probably the biggest threat to bitcoin on: May 08, 2013, 11:42:04 PM
Not a big threat.  That is basically spending a lot of money, just to throw away a lot more money.  There are clear counter-incentives against this Smiley

If the community's transactions are suddenly not being processed, then the community will en masse route around the problem, because the incentive to retain the value of one's bitcoins is similarly large.

Very unlikely that a private, non-governmental entity would mount such an attack.

Another review:

1) Ordered loaded Samsung laptop.  Was marked in stock, and arrived within 2-3 days of ordering.  Very fast turnaround, even with "standard shipping" (I was hoping for next day processing and shipping).  Laptop works great.  Very happy with this order.

2) Ordered 4x LED flashlights, with 3x of the same type (0.5W "super-led").  1x shipped immediately.  2x just arrived today.  Still waiting on 1x.

I'm sorry, what is oracle system?

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts#Example_4:_Using_external_state

There is a lot of discussion about using bots for various things.  It's fun.

553  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bootstrapping the pruned blockchain on: May 08, 2013, 04:45:10 PM
Pruning is only for *spent* outputs is it not?


Yes, but if u get rid of transactions of these spent outputs, then u can't check proof-of-work coz it contains ALL data.

The proof-of-work is in the block header.  You can still check proof of work via the block header and merkle tree.

556  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / A short introduction to TPMs on: May 07, 2013, 06:57:38 PM
Bitcoiners,

A useful link:  A short introduction to TPMs - http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/24818.html

Hal, Mike Hearn and a few others have talked about using TPMs in the context of bitcoin key storage, or trusted execution of oracles. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_online_services and https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts#Example_4:_Using_external_state

It would be interesting to brainstorm what uses bitcoin software could make of TPMs.

559  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Separating timestamp function and verification function on: May 07, 2013, 03:50:32 PM
Certainly.  One way for bitcoin to scale is making the primary, strong chain just timestamp another chain.

However, you still must pay miners.
