Are there some fallback nodes?
I have a dedicated server now so it should be running with port open at 198.154.60.183 hopefully 24/7 forever now. At some point I will point a hostname at that server. I guess I should also look into how DNS seed works and set some up in the DNS of my knotwork.com domain and hey why not, some of the devtome/devcoin domains too if possible. -MarkM- That worked, thanks. Seems all of the seeds built into the client are now dead. Maybe we need some new 24/7 nodes? Let me know and I can look into setting one up. BTW, the windows bounty for an installer is for the wrong thing. The bootstrapping issue is currently in all three platforms, not just windows. I should have something working in a day or so. Anyone want to test, if so pm me, and for what platform(s). |

That's my plan... as soon as I get transfer details from burnside.
Here is what he told me: It's roughly:
- Transfer your funds to "burnside" on the exchange using the internal transfer feature. In the comment put "Escrow: XX ASICMINER Shares" where XX is how many shares you are purchasing.
- Send me a message here letting me know you've transferred coins on the exchange and what your exchange username is.
- I'll PM ineededausername and let him know that I am holding funds on your behalf, at which point he can initiate a transfer with Friedcat.
- When Friedcat has completed the share transfer and let me know, I release the shares to you, and the coins to ineededausername.

This burnside stuff was somewhat annoying, probably won't be doing it again in another auction. Please tell me if there has been a mistake here.
If you are dealing with burnside, please forward me a copy of all burnside correspondence and copy me on future correspondence, if you don't mind. Some people told me they PMed burnside but I don't know what's going on.
I thought it would make it easier, to be able to batch them and also gain some liquidity later. It may have gotten delayed due to me unfortunately. My bitcoin client decided it needed to rebuild the block index and that took around four hours. |

I have been seeing this message a lot the past couple of weeks. bitcoin also no longer works
well when I tell it to store all the data files on my NAS as I like to do from my laptops.
What the heck changed to make the latest bitcoin so flakey with the block store now? Never had these issues for a couple of years till recently.

It picks from more than one IRC channel?
Sloppy job of hacking bitcoin to make an altcoin I guess, usually chopping the number of IRC channels down to one is a standard part of making an altcoin.
Okay well maybe its time to put out a new version with a new checkpoint and while I'm at it chop the IRC channels down to one...
-MarkM-
Dont know about 0.3.24.3, but 0.3.24.2 did I am pretty sure... have to take a quick look at the sources for .3 I guess.... Edit: Looks like my advice at the time to reduce it was taken, it used 100 chanels in .2 and was reduced to 10 in .3 |

I'm looking into the ixc thing. http://www.ixcoin.org/ is so shady, yet has OSX client which does not exist on the pp and terra thing, nice ! However, I'm seeing 0 connections, 0 blocks, 0 transactions, forever. Looks like the network bootstrap is broken, or my client is outdated ?? **crap, noticed that the osx version is behind other versions (Mac OS X unverified 0.3.24.2 only) is that the problem ?? Actually the look of that page is pretty much how bitcoin.org used to look. I did that OSX client. Never did get the bounty though, lol. It would be able to connect, but it seems all the initial seeds are gone. The irc channels are way too many for the current userbase so it is more or less pot luck to wind up on a channel with someone. I had to do -addnode to get it to find initial peers with the windows client. It still would stop before it downloaded the full blockchain though as some stuff got changed that would need the latest version to work. So it is not really useful now for anything. Not sure it is worth making an update, since it would never get updated on the website anyway. |

Would this then allow a trading market to exist between BTC/LTC/TRC?
|

So I sold a tiny chunk of my LTC holdings tonight.
Sold at 2.60. Set my buy order at 2.10. *fingers crossed*
input?
given my luck at playing this game, you guys should probably buy since I decided to do this...
What you did is not shorting. You are just trying to sell high and rebuy on a drop. To short you would need to borrow shares that you have to repay later, and hope they get cheaper for paying back the shares you borrowed. |

Graet has clicked the report to mods button and asked that the misleading subject line been changed and complaining that this was sticked. The subject is actually just copied verbatim from the ozcoin IRC channel topic. I wouldn't have needed to post this if Ozcoin sent out a broadcast message to miners at the time they updated their IRC topic to say mining was a donation (and I did subsequently ask Graet to send out such a message, but was told that he was unable).
In any case, I don't know what to change the subject line to since Graet didn't offer an alternative in his post above.
Looks like some Jezzz changed the subject line on irc. ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14085.msg1898413#msg1898413 ) In https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14085.msg1899768#msg1899768 Graet seems to basically say that this is not true. Guess IRC subject lines are no more official then any random irc chatter? |

I see people keep posting in the Ripple giveaway thread but despite posting my address there weeks ago, I have not received anything. I currently can't test out any of Ripple's features and can't understand this incompetence by the Ripple team. They 'premined' 100 billion XRP and promised to give away (only) half of it, but even now at this initial stage they seem stingy on giving it out to early adopters wanting to test the system. So what's going on, do they not have 10 minutes per day to manage this one link they have with the outside world (that giveaway thread)?
If anyone has a spare 300 XRP, my address is rDpYiMPkgyUxwHLjZc9VcJuseK2DffHPkc .
You did not meet the requirements. |

No. The naming system is a tacit endorsement of the idea that something issued by a government is more official then something that is not. We should not voluntarily put ourselves in the X subbasement.

Do you think there is a market for a bitcoin backup service?
I use to use Wuala for this, but they seem to have now stopped accepting bitcoins. So there may be a void again to fill. Would you personally be interested?
Maybe.... What sort of features would you want to see in the service? (basic file backup, MS SQL backup, MySQL Backup, Oracle Backup, Ms Exchange backup, HyperV backup, ESx backup... ect)
Mostly I want a mapped cached local drive like what Wuala has, and a decently flexable API.. with that I can then back up what I want. I also would prefer to have more then just sync backup, and have more of a cloud drive with some sharing options. What concerns would you want to see addressed?
Needs to be a Zero Knowledge system like Wuala. What sort of price point would you expect to see? (in USD)
Cheaper then Wuala/SpiderOak hopefully. By the way, one of my favourite things about our software is that the backups are cryptographically secure. Meaning that before your data leaves your computer, it is one-way encrypted using your password. (I can get into the gory algorithm details if you like)
If this is like Wuala/SpiderOak and zero knowledge, then it is a basic requirement for me for backup use. I only use dropbox/sugarsync for file sharing due to their lack of it. Yes, give the details. |

Yes, I still maintain the miner. It is now modular, i.e. you can implement your own hardware or work-source types. I just haven't released a py2exe recently (since BFL support actually) - POCLBM doesn't look so popular anymore and works fine for anyone able to setup python + pip and pull sources from github.
I know a few people that run poclbm in the background on windows mostly just to feel they are supporting an alternative to fiat. They don't follow the scene at all though. I just let them know when I see an update to the windows build to let them know to update. We have been figuring that any worthwhile updates would get check pointed by a build. Is this not really true? Have windows build updates ceased then? |

Hey, does anyone know how I can unlock my PPCoin wallet so that I can generate POS without jeopardising my wallet (So that a my balance can't just be emptied)
Also, Sunny, any chance you can make a locked wallet generate POS without unlocking a wallet (Kinda of like how you can solo mine coins with Bitcoin without having to unlock the wallet file)
Thanks
Add a 'true' at the end of walletpassphrase command: ppcoind walletpassphrase <your_passphrase> <unlock_time_duration_in_seconds> trueIn this 'mint-only' unlock mode, one cannot send transactions but can mint blocks (including both proof-of-work and proof-of-stake). It's more secure than the general unlock mode but less secure than a locked wallet. On the other hand it is not secure to put a password/phrase in a command line. Is there alternative ways of passing it in? |

That is actually a positive over last coverage in 2011 where many reports could not seem to see bitcoin have any real long term value. Thing I have been wondering though, is what you can move bitcoins into if you think they are over valued but don't wan't fiat. |
