Good and concise.

There are about twenty or so of us in Brighton; I'll see what the interest of the others is like as most of them are not on this forum.

And this....

Does anyone have links to parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 with subtitles?

Good news.

Hello number 42!

I have a response from bitmit now confirming that it is a bug. Contacting their support was not easy.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.

So far as I can tell the following is true:

1. The site seems to be the official bitmit site (bitmit.net)
2. I made payment to the same address listed on the site.
3. The blockchain lists the correct payment amount as having been transferred with 67 confirmations.

The hypotheses I can think of that fit are:

1. I've somehow got the wrong site or a phishing site.
2. Bitmit's view of the blockchain is not up to date.
3. Bitmit has an internal bug.
4. Bitmit is somehow compromised and is not showing the real payment address.

Ok, now it looks like funds have been taken from that address.

Still no confimration on bitmit's site.

I've used this customer services page to contact them:

https://www.bitmit.net/en/info/contact

Wondering if something dodgy may be going on...

I've had 18 confirmations on my transfer:

https://blockchain.info/address/18AA4H7Vm84NwqhxSE6HBpY6663b7uycoG

But bitmit shows it as unconfirmed and I can't find any support info on their site.

Any suggestions anyone?

I've read this thanks, but not sure what you mean. Can you explain?

Ah, thanks for these links everyone, very interesting and this clarifies a few things in my mind. Looking at this wiki page:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees#Technical_info


So this is my transaction:

https://blockchain.info/address/18AA4H7Vm84NwqhxSE6HBpY6663b7uycoG

So as of the time of writing its queue value is approximately: 13,573,000 * 120 / 500 = 3,257,520

Assuming 6 blocks per hour and that my transaction has been queued for 20 hours and a size of 500 bytes as it is coming from one address. Is this correct?

I'm also assuming here that 'confirmation' in this article means the number of blocks that have passed since that transaction was broadcast to the network?


I understand that exchanges like MTGOX and Vircurex don't have separate wallets per users but effectively have their own wallet per exchange and then track a user's coin allocation via some form of database. So my question is do exchanges or even wallets in general make a point of issuing Bitcoins from the lowest possible number of addresses at all times when initiating a transfer to keep block size as low as possible at all times?

Is there a development roadmap in future to split up the blockchain storage so that no single node needs to store the entire data set but a set of nodes can have the data reference in such a way that a full blockchain can always be created from a set of n nodes ala RAID 5 where say 5 HDDs can have enough redundancy to loose a disk whilst still providing the full data set. This would allow larger block size without filling everyone's HDDs with a full copy of the blockchain per node.

I got a steam code off of bitmit in the end for .13573 BTC.

Would really like somewhere to spend my LTC too.

Interesting. I thought this would happen, just not this soon.

Is there any way to see/tell where in the queue of transactions without fees a particular transaction is? I know the ones without fees, and therefore the ones that do not get batched immediately by miners, have a priority ascribed to them based on how long they have been waiting, their size, etc...

That's a different thing as you are waiting for the network to confirm it has received the transfer request. This occurs before it is then queued to be batched up and mined into a block.

I've received the confirmation that my request is logged with the network; it's just not moved down the queue of un-feed transactions to a level where it's been included in a block yet.

I'm just not sure how to tell where in the queue it is and how long this queue is as it's clearly got a lot longer of recent.

Ta.

I just sent .13573 BTC without any miners fees on the assumption it would get picked up and mined into a block within an hour at most as I've not done a transfer without a fee for about 6 weeks.

However the transaction is still sitting there 6 hours later...

Is there any way to see/tell how far down the queue of non-miners fees transactions my transfer is?

Is there any way to see how much this has changed over time?

This is a good example of the kind of thing I was trying to pre-empt to some degree:

What was discussed at this meeting and what were it's conclusions? What original sources of evidence were used? How was this information disseminated?

Being UK centric, I'm going to see if I can find out any more on this conference.

I thought it sounded pretty good. This is a new artist to me...

Does anyone know a reliable place - such as bitmit - where I can buy latest games like Bioshock Infinite for Litecoin?

I am not interested in direct purchases off bitcointalk members. Thanks.

Glad to see more shops taking BTC!

I've got a developer to start taking BTC in Australia last fortnight too.

Will take a look, best of luck.
