Just to let you guys know that although not concerned about getting the contract (and I understand the reservations about my system) I have made some progress creating a "forum package" for my software system (which of course has *zero* manual code).

Although far from complete it handles ordering latest post topics first (after sticky topics which are also in latest post ordering) and allows for topics to be locked and moved. Child boards work correctly with stats totals updating to parents.

Actually bx.bit works fine for me now - but still no ciyam.bit.

Seems a lot of people on the forum know very little about *modern* C++.

I have not had a buffer overflow (or even a memory leak) in my code for years.

I am using Windows XP (sp 3) and when I try nslookup bx.bit I get 178.248.244.15 (if I use curl with the name I get a permanently moved message but if I curl the raw IP I get http://sv05.net-housting.de as a href).

 

Thanks - this does work (I already use 8.8.8.8 for my DNS lookup) - but how do I get this to work through a browser?

I tried the .reg file but zero luck (I guess this maybe because I am in China).

I also got someone in Australia to try the Posix method on a box running OpenSUSE but it also will not resolve any .bit addresses.

They also just tried pinging namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org but got an "unknown host namecoin-suffix.dot-bit.org" error.

Via bitviewer am still getting FMA even now.

Thanks for your help (and I will try your method later).

Any ideas cablepair?

Could you please paste a link into a message here that will work (I have tried using http://bitviewer.net/browse.php?u=http://ciyam.bit or going to the website and typing ciyam.bit but still takes me to FMA).

(btw - I am trying this from China and got it tested from Australia as well with the same result)


Yup - but I got the email nearly two eight hours ago and can access the control panel fine and it says it is redirecting ciyam.bit to www.ciyam.bit and www.ciyam.bit to www.ciyam.com but still no joy.

But I will test it again tomorrow so hopefully will come good by then.

I registered ciyam.bit yesterday through register.dot-bit.org (and have received a confirmation email) which should redirect to www.ciyam.com but instead it takes me to fma.com.

Thanks Gavin for the information (hadn't got to 'validateaddress' yet but it looks very useful).


True although the "label" (or whatever the correct term) that you can put in the address book for the sends (after sending) will appear if you do a 'getaccount' (and am guessing for 'validateaddress' also) so I think it is possible to get everything to fit together albeit a little clumsily from the GUI side (IMO would be nicer if the "label" was available in the send dialog).

I am hoping all my GUI tx's will be able to be picked up by my GL application without further manual adjustments.

Please let know me if I'm wrong yet again but would it be correct that for Bitcoin (as far as the RPC interface goes) an "account" is really just a way to divide up the wallet for purposes of perhaps providing a wallet service or similar?

In which case for sure I don't want to confuse accounts as in GL accounts with that. Perhaps it is unfortunate that "getaccount" given an external address returns the "label" that you can put from the GUI (and that "setaccount" even works for external addresses as these by above said definition are *not* accounts).

In any case I think I can work out what I need (by calling "getaccount" and "setaccount") to have the GUI and bitcoind information become aligned (albeit I cannot get what I want out of listtransactions without the modification I mentioned).

Indeed inflation is a big concern in China and especially for very low income earners who have to spend nearly all of their earnings on food and housing.

Gold can be bought from banks and is I think being viewed by many as an inflation hedge (at least those that can afford to buy some).

Indeed they left but when they did they had redirected searches to google.com.hk (although it often doesn't work or doesn't work very well).

I think that baidu.com would be the main search engine used by Chinese nowadays.

I think one problem with this would be the tx fee (although perhaps not much of a problem now but certainly down the track) as it is quite possible you may have to pay a tx fee in order to "return" the tainted coins (this of course would depend upon the miners).

This is great but please note that if you get your site indexed by Google as a proxy then it won't take very long for it to no longer be accessible from China and other countries that put a lot of effort into blocking sites.


Cheers,

Ian.

I believe that they made announcement in another thread that due to the Linode hacking issue they were temporarily shutting down their website.

You might be referring to my 5 BTC donation (for which I sent a PM to Bruno about it at the time of sending).

My wife had to re-install Windoze on her laptop recently and not realizing where a lot of her "application user data" is stored (the C drive which was wiped over) she lost everything that was there (which could but luckily didn't involve losing much of any value).

Maybe it might be an idea that when first started up from a fresh installation the user is prompted where to store the DB info (the wallet location in particular of course) as I know at least in her case she would be sure to have picked another drive to store the data on (as she does this for all other apps she uses when prompted).


Cheers,

Ian.

I see there is a [comment-to] option for the "sendfrom" - do the comments have any relation to the labels?
