Analyzing raw transactions I can only see txid in "vin" but no actual address

I am looking for an independent freelancer to look over my bitcoin related C# code and fix bugs in exchange for funds, without actually having access to any sensitive information.
I am looking for well established members with similar experience who are primarily interested in creating something great rather than the funds.

Implying we live in the U.S.
The best analogy to describe the world I've heard so far is that every country is like a drunkard, every drunkard drinks a bottle of vodka until he is lying with the face in the mud unable to stand up properly, the U.S. however is a pretentious drunkard that also works as a school bus driver, so it's not really that other countries are necessarily better or worse than the U.S., it's just that the U.S. allows itself wayy wayyy too much for the state it's currently in.
The country can't even go a decade without invading a foreign country and exploiting it in exchange for natural resources. If I was you bitcoin taxes would be the least thing I'd worry about.

Tax?
Are you trying to work out a tx *fee* amount?
Yes haha the bitcoin network "tax" for processing your payment. The tx fee, I know it is charged by kb apparently but how do you get the proper kb for a transaction before you even create it? |

How do you calculate it? I have searched google and on this forum and haven't found a single answer.
Are there any low level functions I'm missing?

How does satoshidice calculate and pay the tax on their transactions?

Are you using >= 0.8 without the -txindex option? See the release notes. Added -txindex=1 -reindex=1 launched it, rebuilt the chain and still get the same error: {"result":null,"error":{"code":-5,"message":"No information available about transaction"} |

Okay thanks for the pointer, could anyone try the rpc call on their local bitcoin-qt? |

Nvm rescanned dem bitches

Blockchain.info says it has been included in block #228673 even though me 0.8.1 bitcoin-qt has downloaded up until 228919 the transaction doesn't seem to show, have I encountered another fork?

How can you detect every incoming separate payment when using just one address? The moment I hear about this I immediately think of local serialization, comparing them against listunspent etc etc. Is there an easier way?

It seems foolish to believe that no one is trying to find a way to damage the bitcoin economy. Governments, central banks, payment processors, credit card companies, ... the list goes on and on of entities whose bottom line is threatened by bitcoin.
So I wonder if it would be a good idea to start having open discussions about the same things that they are likely discussing in private. For example, is there a way to exploit the vulnerability of the pre-0.8 clients to fork the chain? Of course this seems dangerous. Anyone who read the Hunger Games books remembers Gale's concern about a new kind of attack that was later exploited.
When I was in college I played chess and I always enjoyed discussing my moves and plans openly. Part of the reason for this is that my ability to handle complexity was a bit stronger than that of others, so I got to help them see the fixes I was planning to put them in. I imagine that everyone I played, along with myself, got much better at chess because of this openness.
Part of the reason I am comfortable openly discussing possible avenues for hacking our economy is that I have faith in humans. For the most part, people are good. The more we learn, the better we get along, generally. The bitcoin community can win converts from those threatened by it at a rate much higher than they can win converts from us, simply because bitcoin respects individuals, places responsibility for their dealings squarely in their own hands, and does not rely on coercion of any kind.
Before those of us who have answers for the following question make them public, perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss whether or not publicizing them is wise. I think it is, but that is based on a faith in human beings that I admit may be misplaced. (If it is, my world will change, but it will be difficult to convince me.)
If you're comfortable letting the world know about Bitcoin's vulnerabilities, what are they and how should we expect those threatened by it to leverage them? (And how will we therefore protect ourselves from them?)
I don't see a reason to discuss bitcoin security. Bitcoin is a lot more secure than computers in general, in short if a cybercriminal wanted to steal bitcoins he would most likely rewrite your homephone firmware, phish your information, install a trojan or malware than sabotaging the network itself. |

How much did he scam?
About 0.91 BTC. Not much (though with the recent price rise...!), but still a scam he was hiding and milking for all he could. I'm certainly not going to let him get away with anything but a scumbag title for it. In the distant future we shalt have BTC police hunt down such scum and let them fight in the Satoshi colosseum to their death for the entertainment of the higher class. |

Sound like a load of bs I don't want to be found dead near of.
Gold/silver can be easily faked and just 200 things could go wrong, not that great to exchange for btc.
Just please check the credentials of the people you're replying to, FIRST  It is irrelevant anyway since I want the evil gov money in my bank instead of having to sell that physical silver with the same hassles I sell bitcoin. |

I would sell them in smallest lots you can deal with if that makes any sense, that way you get your profit and also don't fall for a scam you also won't end up borking the Bitcoin economy too much either if you sell the coins in batches rather than all at once but I think the volume is a lot bigger now so it may well be that the price won't get affected as much by large trades.
Sage pretty much has the right idea as well, it might be a good thing to diversify in precious metals too so your fiat doesn't immediately lose value the second you cash out.
That's the same thing I have thought of. Mt Gox opens you up to the same risks as any other method of exchanging bitcoin so I don't think why people keep thinking you're somehow invulnerable if you sell there. I have the opposite idea, I am searching for ways to buy bitcoin without being scammed. How about I will sell you BTC2000 worth of silver, we can arrange the delivery of goods in Europe? You can select your preferred form of silver from: 90% circulated U.S. coins, or 1oz Canada Maple Leafs. Risto Sound like a load of bs I don't want to be found dead near of. Gold/silver can be easily faked and just 200 things could go wrong, not that great to exchange for btc. |
