Can you give a brief description of all advantages over plain Namecoin? It could draw more attention toward the project.

It sounds like Namecoin but with the possibility of storing more data off the blockchain but I couldn't figure out more advantages yet without to have to grab deeper.

Does posting in off topic, especially in this thread pimp the activity&post counter? If yes I should be turned off for the whole off topic section.
63  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Whats the longest you have waited for one confirmation?? on: February 16, 2015, 12:02:45 PM
My record was about two times two weeks which was 4 weeks. First time it didn't even confirm at all. It was a monster sized transaction and I didn't pay any fees  Cheesy Because these temporary stuck BTC were almost worthless I didn't care to wait that long.

I was successful in earning money online by collecting rewards for helping. It's not much but much better than zero.

  • Helping newbies
  • Accepting bitcoin
  • Running a full node
  • Developing something useful
  • White hat hacking (searching for security vulnerabilities without stealing anything)
  • Meet peoples for selling small amounts of bitcoins for cash. This helps peoples who wants pay anonymously using bitcoin.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PHP Help with bitcoind->listttransactions() ★0.02 btc bounty★ on: January 31, 2015, 09:12:33 PM
This works for me, here's a full example:
Code:
<?php
//I don't know which class and which version you use.
//To ensure that you're not running into incompatibility issues, I decided to includes this base class
class Bitcoin
{
    public 
$id 0;
    public 
$host "127.0.0.1";
    public 
$port 8332;
    public 
$user "<CHANGEME!>"//Insert RPC username here
    
public $pass "<CHANGEME!>"//Insert RPC password here

    
public function __call($func$param)
    {
        
$data json_encode(
            array(
                
'id'=>$this->id++,
                
'method'=>$func,
                
'params'=>$param
            
)
        );

        
$ch curl_init("http://".$this->host.":".$this->port."");
        if (
$ch)
        {
            
curl_setopt($chCURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER1);
            
curl_setopt($chCURLOPT_USERPWDrawurlencode($this->user).":".rawurlencode($this->pass));
            
curl_setopt($chCURLOPT_POSTtrue);
            
curl_setopt($chCURLOPT_POSTFIELDS$data);
            
$out curl_exec($ch);
            
$error curl_error($ch);
            
curl_close($ch);
            if (
$error)
            {
                throw new 
Exception($error);
            }

            
$decoded json_decode($out);
            if (
$decoded === null)
            {
                throw new 
Exception("Malformed JSON: $out");
            }

            return 
$decoded;
        }
        else
        {
            throw new 
Exception(curl_error($ch));
        }
    }
}

$bitcoin = new Bitcoin();
$count 2;
$offset 0;

//Here's the actual code which groups the transaction
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
echo 
"<html><body>";
echo 
"<h1>Transactions</h1>";

while (
true)
{
    
//First parameter: Account, * = all
    //Second parameter: Max count
    //Third parameter: Offset
    
$result $bitcoin->listtransactions('*'$count$offset);

    if (!
$result->result) break;

    echo 
"<h2>Tranaction at offset $offset, max count $count</h2>";
    echo 
"<pre>".htmlspecialchars(print_r($resulttrue))."</pre>";
    
$offset += $count;
}

echo 
"</body></html>";

This is the change:

$count = 5; $offset = 0;
$bitcoin->listtransactions('*', $count, $offset); //$bitcoin->listtransactions('*', 5, 0); works of course too

instead of:

$bitcoin->listtransactions("count = 5, offset = 0");


I hope this helps.
As soon as you confirm that it works, my address is 1EwKrY5Bn3T47r4tYqSv6mMQkUyu7hZckV as in the signature Wink

Bitcoin acts like Jesus Cheesy

Today: Bitcoin IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon: To da moooon! (= not dead anymore)


Although I strongly doubt that long term bitcoin's median price will raise forever*, I think bitcoin is still far away from total collapse.

* maybe we're never going over 1000 again, maybe the next bubble is the last big bubble
71  Economy / Speculation / Re: $1 --> $32 // $13 -->$260 // $85 --> $1163 // $375 --> ???? on: January 25, 2015, 03:21:33 PM

If the pattern holds, the next launchpad should be around $375 - $400.

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that this is correct... where do you see the next bubble top?

Bubble 1: x 30
Bubble 2: x 20
Bubble 3: x 15
Bubble 4: x ??

Possibility 1:
Bubble 1: x 30 = 60/2
Bubble 2: x 20 = 60/3
Bubble 3: x 15 = 60/4
Bubble 4: x 12 = 60/5

Possibility 2:
Bubble 1: x 30 = 45-15
Bubble 2: x 20 = 30-10
Bubble 3: x 15 = 20-5
Bubble 4: x 15 = 15-0

Possibility 3:
Bubble 1: x 30 = 60*1/2
Bubble 2: x 20 = 30*2/3
Bubble 3: x 15 = 20*3/4
Bubble 4: x 12 = 15*4/5

Possibility 4: factor = 0 - 15/x² + 42.5/x + 2.5
Bubble 1: x 30 = 0 - 15/1² + 42.5/1 + 2.5 = 0 - 15 + 42.5 + 2.5
Bubble 2: x 20 = 0 - 15/2² + 42.5/2 + 2.5 = 0 - 3.75 + 21.25 + 2.5
Bubble 3: x 15 = 0 - 15/3² + 42.5/3 + 2.5 = 0 - 1.666666... + 14.166666... + 2.5
Bubble 4: x 12.1875 = 0 - 15/4² + 42.5/4 + 2.5 = 0 - 0.9375 + 10.625 + 2.5

Possibility 5: factor = first two of md5('0dd380d3+' + x), next two of md5 is the long term indicator
Bubble 1: x 30 = 3007e9dfd5fd0d62b0b6e337a09adb21 = md5('0dd380d3+1') -- Note the "happy number" 7
Bubble 2: x 20 = 2007f5456c39c5be33fe4922db9333e1 = md5('0dd380d3+2') -- happy 7 still there
Bubble 3: x 15 = 15dfc29ad7daae7c156fdc81a7235411 = md5('0dd380d3+3') -- happy 7 disappeared, disaster incoming!
Bubble 4: x 0 (ZERO!) = d2a4c8676ef2ce1f6349a6a8e771f7f9 = md5('0dd380d3+4') -- not a number anymore = Bitcoin down to zero because it stops to exists before the next bubble!

1-4: bullish
5: bearish

As you see, it's possible to produce different results depend on if you're bearish or bullish.
72  Other / Off-topic / Re: Best VPN service? on: January 20, 2015, 09:15:48 PM
Using an own VPS as an anonymous VPN ist likely a bad idea:
  • You get a dedicated&static IP which makes you unique throughout all your internet sessions no matter how often you delete your cookies. If you use an anonymous VPN, you get a shared IPs.
  • Most VPS provider aren't specialized in anonymity and thus they don't protect their customer as good as an anonymous VPN provider could. Some VPNs asks personal infos, some VPNs have logging in their policy - avoid them. Some VPN promises "no logs". It's right: You can't check if it's true, but they have something to loose if some day a case is made public which exposes the "non logging" VPN as a liar. Some VPNs have nice tutorials&tools which aids the user staying anonymous.

I prefer Perfect Privacy. It's not the cheapest but a good choice for someone who can afford premium. Many locations & reliable. Only email,nickname,password - no other personal information asked, accepts bitcoin.
73  Economy / Economics / Re: Paper Money is so Dead on: January 18, 2015, 10:37:15 AM
Yeah. Paper money is not only almost dead, it's also used for anonymous and uncontrolled money transactions to aid terrorism. This is why we should outlaw paper money!

74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitstamp hack. A real life test of anonymity in Bitcoin on: January 10, 2015, 04:24:52 PM
Fiat cashout should not pose the biggest problem if you travel to the right country first. He could easyly meet buyers who wants to buy bitcoins anonymously for using in the deep webs or hiding assets.

The bigger challenge comes with the need to explain the money to the taxation authority which is certainly interested in where the money is coming from.
With no waterproof explaination for the thief, he would have to spend it without drawing attention which is susceptible to fail some day.
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PHP Bitcoin Node Status Page on: January 10, 2015, 03:27:57 PM
You need to sanitize the protocol subversion before displaying it to users.

Any particular reason?
Nevermind, the client does it for you these days: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/a946aa8d3ec7009ac670eeb65a525efe5eeb6e84

I haven't been around for a while.
This fix was made at version 0.9 (if I read it correctly). When doing a "getpeerlist" on my own client (or visiting CraigWatson's status page), I see some clients still having <0.9.
I think htmlspecialchars() shouldn't hurt. It's better than potentially endangering webmasters who integrates the status page on a <0.9 node.

He turned his wallet into a brain wallet now ... then why he still needs wallet.dat? Key stretching a brain wallet phrase should be enough if he thinks his phrase isn't crackable.

2011 disaster is repeating. Recovery is possible but it's unsure if it will ever recover, maybe it's stepping now in the path of the Second Life bubble which never recovered.

For us, true Bitcoin fanatics, explaining Bitcoin to the friends can be challenging and often as effective as talking to a wall.
indeed

Quote
1. It’s money, but on the Internet!
Good.

Quote
2. You are your own bank.
The naysayer would say: If I pile my cash at home, then I'm my own bank too while both methods poses the risk of theft or getting worthless.

My say: He's partially right. An avarge user can't secure his computer properly, thinking it's enough to install a colorful looking anti virus kit. Even Trezor won't help if the victim is too prone to social engineering. I know some peoples who can't even join two pictures with mspaint because they feel it's too complicated to them.

Quote
3. The future is now!
An average Bitcoin enthusiast would explain Bitcoin with the freedom of transaction and anonymity in a currency. ... Annoyed with having to keep track of endless debit/ credit cards?
Ok, but anonymity is an argument against bitcoin too. The avarge user says, anonymity is only for people who has to hide something from the eyes of the goverments.

Quote
4. Give your friends paper wallets.
Good.

Quote
5. The traditional way that leads to puzzled faces and ultimate confusion.
Good, except:
Quote
Wallets work similar to Internet banking but are much easier to use.
No, you have to care yourself about security and that's some work to be done. See point 2.

Thanks anyway, there are some good points to start with.

Prohibition:
Case 1: I don't live in the United States -> I don't care
Case 2: If it affects me anyways: I'm likely continuing using Bitcoin over a VPN server which is domiciled in a more Bitcoin friendly country (see "Surveillance")

Surveillance (if prohibition case 2 applies):
Case 1: If the feds are too incompetent to catch me -> I don't care
Case 2: If the feds are sophisticated enough to catch&sue me -> I'm stopping using Bitcoin. In this case, it's mandatory to collect proof from my fully encrypted computer
