Super-baby steps: the forum link on the home page has been replaced
with a link to a Google search, and an indication of "unofficial" |
|
|
|
|
It's intentional. The people who control the bitcoin.org page wanted forum.bitcoin.org to look less official. The forum will probably also be moved to a different domain at some point.

Speculation does not belong there and should be moved.

Report any trolls you see.

"Trading discussion" is about the trading process itself. "Speculation" is about the price.

What would cause it to fail? If there's not enough coins with more than 6 confirmations? Or if those coins would cause too high of a transaction fee?
It only fails if there's not enough BTC. SelectCoins doesn't care about fees or transaction size (though it probably should). |

I tried to install the "ignore user" mod, but it broke the forum, so I had to uninstall it. Maybe I'll try to fix it sometime in the future.

In Japan, Satoshi disappeared. In Soviet Russia, Satoshi works for the government and disappears you.

This is a bug unique to the BBE mirror: pages sometimes appear before all of the necessary data is fully committed to the database. It fixes itself in ~30 seconds. |

Does Bitcoin even use any of Berkeley DB's features with the wallet? The wallet is loaded into memory on startup, so database performance isn't very important, and I don't think Bitcoin does much (any?) concurrent access.
Berkeley DB is an easy package. It has no dependencies of its own, and compilation is simple. It would take you less than ten minutes to build the 4.7 version for Bitcoin's use.

Hey theymos, is there a listing of how people can get banned and all the banning titles that go with them?
There isn't a rulebook. I ban people as required. The ban reasons are made up when I create the ban, with no organization. Only administrators can tell when someone is banned: their profile isn't marked at all. |
|
|
|
|
The ban should give you a reason, like "spam 7". Tell me this so I can see which ban you're hitting.

Script will never be changed in ways that cause many blocks to become invalid. If a script op needs to be disabled in the future and past transactions use it, the transactions will need to all be whitelisted.
But probably no more script ops will be disabled if there's any chance they can be fixed. Those ops that have been disabled were disabled when there was probably less than a thousand Bitcoin users. It was safer at that time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10940211: In the UK defendants must prove statements are true, whereas in the US claimants have to prove they are false. US libel laws include the so-called Sullivan defence, in which the claimant must prove malice or serious recklessness before the case proceeds to the courts.

theymos, I do not think this scammer mark is such a good idea. This makes operators of the forum VERY vulnerable to real world libel lawsuits. I strongly suggest to reconsider this practice. Better stay away from this. I think he'd need to prove that he has never scammed someone in his life, which is almost impossible. |

|
|
It should give you a ban reason like "spam 12" or something. Tell me the reason so I can find the ban. Or PM me your home IP address.

I'll remove the scammer status when 1LwicyHMxvmo5WdbWU14ZCsdoJKbHyzKJu gets 1 BTC from BitMole. However, I have no confidence in BitMole's sense of morality, and I will never trade with him.

The "court" is the thread where someone is accused of something. Evidence can be presented there, and all readers can reach their own conclusions.
People are awarded the scammer mark when they're proven to have acted in ways that make all of their future trades suspect. It warns traders to stay away without preventing the poster from defending himself.
Note that the scammer mark is not any form of dispute resolution. It is not a punishment. It is only a warning to other traders, and it will only be given when such a warning is necessary. The board should not be doing dispute resolution: that's a job for other organizations.

It's mostly to give moderators time to find the really bad posters before they are "released into the wild".
You can post elsewhere now.
