OK, wreszcie przenieśliśmy hosting i domenę do tego samego providera. Wszystkie funkcje forum powinny już działać bez zarzutu (maile, adresy podstron, ścieżki do avatarów etc.).

I had no problems whatsoever with buying LRUSD from them and they did no require me to produce any documents. The only thing I was asked to do was to confirm the transfer by sending an email.

Did you pay by wire-transfer?

I wouldn't call that feature useless - it is very natural to know who sends you the money. I know you can give out different account numbers and put labels on them, but what if:

- you have one, fixed address published on your website for donations - what if you want to know who donated how much? of course, you can send an email following the donation, but it costs the guy who donated more time and hassle
- what if you have one customer paying for a few items separately? Okay, you've given him his own account address to use, but how do you keep track of which payment is for which item? Don't tell me you go back and check prices - if you have plenty of customers you don't have time for that
- what if you want to send bitcoins to somebody as a gift - and would like to add comment (happy birthday or whatever)? OK, you can send an email, but that won't be instant and again - hassle and you don't know when that person is going check their email.
 

These are all problems that can be solved in many ways. Choosing a solution isn't in bitcoin's domain imo. 

There is no space on the dollar for a message either. Messages are a different thing and should be dealt with separately. 

Then it would be cool if someone developed an enveloping system for Bitcoin. Smiley

how do I confirm this is running for me? In the bitcoin app I don't see and khashes/s I only see it in the terminal in which I ran this from.

If you can see the khash/s rate this means your miner is working. Otherwise it would give you an error message, like: Unable to connect to Bitcoin RPC or Bitcoin isn't running.

Second question, my cpu is not being used at all can I use my cpu with the regular bitcoin client to work in parellel.

Yes, just enable "Generate coins".

Quote
Lastly can I use another computer to work in paralell?

Yes, as long as you allow its IP in the Bitcoin config file using the rpcallowip option.

Please note that all these questions have already been answered on the forum. Next time try to use Search.

I agree it is natural to want to know who sends you the money.  That would be a nice feature to add to Bitcoin.

Showing a 'from' address in bitcoin as it is now won't give you that feature, it will give you something that kind-of, sort-of, maybe-most-of-the-time works like that feature.

And it's not obvious how to implement a "where did these bitcoins come from?" feature.


I understand, doesn't make sense to implement something that doesn't do the job, as you said. Just keep that in mind if a possibility of somehow adding this arises. I would even be willing to donate some BTC for it (I know that's not the case, but still).

I actually just realized that the reasons I gave for this feature were more for being able to send a message with payment... that would even be nicer than being able to see the from-address. I know it was discussed already and there was no way to encrypt the messages, but perhaps in the future some possibility arises. It would be awesome.
726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why it doesn't show from what address bitcoins came? on: December 30, 2010, 10:14:22 PM
There really is no "from" -- there is just 'where the coins were sent last time they were sent somewhere.'

If that 'somewhere' was a shared wallet (like a mybitcoin account) where all the incoming transactions get mixed up, knowing what address they were sent to previously is worse than useless information.  You might decide it is a good idea to try to refund bitcoins to that address and end up sending them to some random mybitcoin user, and NOT your customer.

Adding possibly-worse-than-useless features to the bitcoin GUI is a bad idea.  Am I missing some other reason for wanting to see the last addresses to which the coins you received were sent?

I wouldn't call that feature useless - it is very natural to know who sends you the money. I know you can give out different account numbers and put labels on them, but what if:

- you have one, fixed address published on your website for donations - what if you want to know who donated how much? of course, you can send an email following the donation, but it costs the guy who donated more time and hassle
- what if you have one customer paying for a few items separately? Okay, you've given him his own account address to use, but how do you keep track of which payment is for which item? Don't tell me you go back and check prices - if you have plenty of customers you don't have time for that
- what if you want to send bitcoins to somebody as a gift - and would like to add comment (happy birthday or whatever)? OK, you can send an email, but that won't be instant and again - hassle and you don't know when that person is going check their email.

These are only a few examples that come to me at this moment, didn't even think of them too hard.

Maybe these seems silly to you guys, but I am getting plenty of inquiries from my friends and people on different forums.

The problem is that the Bitcoin application would have to be able to operate on an encrypted file somehow.

I love this idea - and it doesn't really seem very complicated.
729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why it doesn't show from what address bitcoins came? on: December 30, 2010, 03:04:04 AM
It would be very nice if bitcoin would show the addresses a transaction came from, maybe not by default in the mainwindow, but by doubleclicking a transaction to see it's properties for example.

Could someone tell me how difficult this would be to achieve? This feature would just be natural; if it is possible to find out where the bitconis came from, why don't make it easy on everyone and just implement it in the client (double click on the transaction and you see the sender's address instead of: unknown). It's bad enough that we can't attach messages along with the coins we send.

Wygląda na to, że po operacji przeniesienia nie da się logować na forum... Właśnie nad tym pracujemy.

Panowie w związku z tym, że polska strona Bitcoin jest już prawie gotowa (a raczej jej szkielet, liczymy na Waszą pomoc), forum zostaje przeniesione na adres:

http://www.bitcoin.pl/forum

Adres ten już się nie zmieni, ewentualnie powstanie jego alias jako forum.bitcoin.pl

Rozpocząłem też pracę na polską wersją Wiki Bitcoin. Na razie jest dopiero szkielet, plus dwa artykuły (te na zielono):

http://www.bitcoin.pl/wiki Tutaj podobnie, prawdodopobnie powstanie alias wiki.bitcoin.pl

Dajcie znać jeśli coś nie działa prawidłowo (jeśli chodzi o forum), albo jeśli dostrzegacie jakieś błędy w artykułach (wiki).

Pozdrawiam.

What I would love to be doing is charging something like 0.5% per transaction (isn't that what mtgox is doing?), but only in BTC. I don't want to take a risk and get commission in PLN (the Revenue office in Poland wouldn't like that). Do you think it would be fair to only get commission from people selling BTC (and not PLN)? In other words, it is always the BTC seller who pays the commission and not the buyer.

I pledge 250BTC  Cool
735  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: 100btc Bounty for Open Source Exchange project. on: December 29, 2010, 12:40:42 AM
One thing I don't know how to approach is how to build up a graph that would show relation between BTC and PLN (Polish Zloty)? I don't mean how to draw it, but where to get the current value of PLN from? Would I have to connect to mtgox first and then check how PLN is to USD?

The value of PLN is based on each BTC/PLN trade that occurs on the BTC/PLN exchange.

The traders who create orders on the BTN/PLN exchange are the ones who determine the current value -- which is, by definition, the value of the most recent BTN/PLN completed trade.

Thank you jgarzik. So, in theory, that means that the relation between PLN and BTC could be different than the relation between USD and BTC shown on mtgox? Of course this won't be off by much, because then people will go somewhere else, unless someone is selling coins for nothing? For some reason I was thinking that my exchange would have to monitor values on mtgox and follow it. Stupid me.

I desperately need something like that to create an exchange in Poland.

Once someone explains that to me I would be happy to pledge 250BTC for this.

Witam,

Informuję, że przed świętami rozpocząłem tłumaczenie klienta Bitcoin i kiedy tylko będzie ono kompletne (niebawem), to wyślę je autorowi programu. Z chęciom wysłucham wszystkich uwag Wink

Super, ja właśnie tworzę polską DokuWiki dla BTC. Zapraszamy na polskie forum: http://www.bitcoin.pl/forum

If the code is obfuscated you may have to decode it first, which may not be easy. And you definitely need a PHP programmer who also knows a bit about how Bitcoin APIs work. I would suggest just post on the forum that you're looking for such a person.
