I think it's closed
It's not. About an hour left. I'll bid for another 2 slots at 3 BTC each.
2 slots or 3? I'm assuming 2.

I'll put an API in the "other optional features" category.

These abstract script descriptions are produced by Bitcoin's CScript.ToString(). It's a Bitcoin bug if they are incorrect. It looks like OP_0 was intended to push a numerical 0. It's probably a bug if it doesn't push anything. (The script in this case is broken either way, though.)

@theymos, how do you get that number? I get: 1FYMZEHnszCHKTBdFZ2DLrUuk3dGwYKQxh
This is an address transaction, so assuming (incorrectly) that we're comparing numbers instead of bytes, the all-zero hash160 with the address I posted would work.
|
|
|
@theymos, nope. It has no destination pubkey.
Ah, hash160 will always produce 20 bytes, and with equalverify leading zeroes matter. So it can't be spent.

Can somebody else tell me if they're getting a "key not valid" error? I have Gavin's key and GPG is telling me the following message sig is bad: Did you lsign his key first?

Cusipzz - 3 slots 2weiX - 4 slots edd - 1 slot
theymos, do you mind verifying this before I place another bid?
That's right.

If you find more security problems with SMF, tell me and I'll fix it. SMF's security record doesn't seem any worse than other popular software, so I don't believe it's worth the trouble to switch if I can't get at least most of my wishlist implemented. Few of the "facts" in these videos are accurate.
|
|
|
So you are actually serious about writing the software completely from scratch ?
As I've said several times before: I don't care how the software is built. It would be fine to make a bunch of modifications to SMF or any other software.

Last chance to suggest features for the first version. I'll start a bidding thread this weekend.

I'm not arguing that SolidCoin does meet my criteria for a cryptocurrency, but I don't know enough about it to say that it doesn't. Isn't Open Transactions more of a platform for managing different currencies rather than a currency itself?
You can also create your own currencies with it.
|
|
|
I would consider Open Transactions and other blind signing systems to be alt cryptocurrencies, even though they're centralized.
I think a cryptocurrency is any currency that is better than traditional currencies and traditional money transfer systems in some way due to its use of cryptography.

And then you have to pay 9% again when you actually use your earned money. And prices will be higher due to increased production costs.
My dad supported Cain until I told him that 9-9-9 included a 9% sales tax.

I don't like that idea at all.
Right now if the development group goes crazy, the links on bitcoin.org, IRC, etc. will be changed to point to some other developers and anyone sponsoring development will stop paying. If bitcoin.org is hijacked, the development group can issue a network alert about it and someone can set up a new site. Ownership of resources is decentralized among groups that are more or less independent.
If a foundation combines ownership of any resources that are currently owned by different organizations, then the Bitcoin ecosystem will be less robust.
Tor is not the greatest example, since Tor is inherently centralized. The network can't function without authoritative directory servers, and someone controlling most authoritative directory servers can break Tor's security.
I would support: - Strengthening organizations that already exist while keeping them independent - Breaking large organizations into independent smaller ones and creating new ones to handle new problems. (Create an independent unofficial development organization, and let someone else create a PR organization.) - Improving communication between the organizations
