I'm on the Satoshi QT client, version 0.6.0.6-beta.
At some point on 23 April 2012, the client crashed in boost library code (unfortunately I didn't save the error message) and since then the client has been unable to make progress in catching up to the network; it's stuck at block 176947. I tried -rescan with no success.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Will the next person who gets stuck please get in touch with me via PM. Peter thinks he fixed a dangling get stuck bug ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1196), but unfortunately its hard to reproduce the problem. If you could cleanly shut down and make a copy of your bitcoin director then we could give you a fixed binary to test. I went ahead and applied the patch manually. It does NOT allow me to proceed past this block. I'm going to go ahead and delete my copy of the blockchain now, in the hopes that I'll be able to make progress after the purge. |

I ordered a full board on May 4th at about 9:30 AM Pacific Time. This means that the four week window to ship my board out officially ended about four hours ago. Did you guys ship already, and just haven't sent out tracking info yet? Or do I get that discount?  |

From the website: The Humble Indie Bundle VEight incredible games. Humble Indie Bundle V features eight modern masterpieces and five epic soundtracks. Experience the fear and paranoia of Amnesia: The Dark Descent; the intensity and impact of LIMBO; the zany characters of Psychonauts; and the future-retro, audiovisual concoction of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. Customers who pay more than the average price will receive the exquisitely crafted action-RPG, Bastion, and also the bundle-in-a-bundle bonus games: the time-warping puzzle platformer, Braid; the mercilessly challenging Super Meat Boy; and the intense psychological horror game, Lone Survivor! The games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux (system requirements here). I am selling gift codes for the "full package" - Bastion included - for 1 BTC each. This is 30% below what you would pay in USD. I'll be allocating 100% of my purchase to Child's Play. I've done this before with the Android Bundle, and you can look here for proof that I was trustworthy that time around. If you'd rather not take the risk, and have good rep of your own, I'm willing to send first. I'm also amenable to escrow if necessary. Edit: Three new games added: Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor! |

I was going for a mob reference. Ah. I am the slowpoke today, it seems. Bumping this request. |

I'm stuck again. This time the block number is 181808.
Could I get a binary, or the command to pull+build a version of bitcoind with the fix?

What kind of stain are we talking about here? Does it affect the texture/smell of the linens, or just the color?
I'd rather not go with sheets that have been used as a dropcloth, for instance.

You're surfing Amazon.com, and want to buy a book. You click on the "Pay with Bitcoin" button, but at some point a malicious factor in your system (or on the host site, Amazon.com for this example) replaces Amazon's tried and true Bitcoin address with it's own, trying to force you pay to the hacker instead to Amazon. Bad for Bitcoin, bad for the client, and bad for Amazon. I don't think this is a failure case against which technology can secure. If you're running malware on your computer, any ability to secure your Bitcoins is out the window. If Amazon, heaven forbid, has malware on their servers, that's the end for them. Even today, either of those situations would at the very least mean your credit card gets stolen. I have a feeling that this is very related to the "DNS-like map string to bitcoin addresses" issue - it's one problem that compliments another, and it the click-to-pay requires you to have some kind of verified address that you can identify before making a payment.
How about address signing? If you're running an online storefront, you probably already have an SSL certificate from one of the big CAs. Use that key to prove control of the address, and the only checking that needs to be done is a glance at the blockchain to make sure that the keys match up. |

I think #2 and #4 are done (encrypted wallets and bitcoin URIs, respectively) and #5 seems like it could be done with Namecoin integration.

Looking for:
Fitted sheet, sheet, blanket and/or quilt for Queen futon.
One or two pillows (pillowcase optional).
They don't need to match.

Do these apps support generating addresses whose secret component is in mini private key format? I got everything running. I must have installed SDK v2.4 incorrectly, maybe skipped a step. Re-installation fixed the issue. ./oclvanitygen produced 25 Mkeys/s on the GPU. Thats like 200x more key searches than on my CPU.   It took about 8 hours to find 1+6 '1abcdef'. How much longer would it take to find 1+7 or 1+8? 1+7 would probably take about 58x what 1+6 took. So, three weeks or so. 1+8 would take about 58x that, so about three years. |

The private key is archival inkjet on paper.
The only reason the Series 1 numbers are the way they are, is that I had the hologram company do those. I sent them the list of firstbits as a text file, and they sent me the stickers with those numbers already pre-printed on them. I didn't have much of a chance to vet what kind of printing I was going to get. But the private keys I did all myself, so as to retain complete control over that part of the process.
Series 2 improves upon it - instead of having the hologram company print anything at all, they provide a window, and I print both numbers using the same process.
Ah. So you print out the circle with the keys on normal paper, and then affix it to back of the sticker before putting the sticker on the coin? |

Okay. I'm just very concerned about the state of the private key if the public key gets wiped this easily. I actually have all my keys recorded now except for this one specific brass token now that I know they rub off. I guess that's a side effect of showing them off to friends/family.
No worries. It's a different printing system on the hidden side for the private key. Actually, I'm sort of curious... what is the printing system used for the private key? Especially considering how temperamental the hologram stickers apparently are... |

I do not think that Bitcoin will fall below $2/coin again.
I raise you to "Bitcoin will not fall below $4/coin." I hope you're right, but a lot can happen in two years. A one-dollar price fluctuation would have been nothing strange just a few months ago, and I'm not quite convinced we've left volatility behind. May 2014: ~$2200/coin
I expect Bitcoin to be handling about 1% of World GDP by that time and the above price represents that.
I could see this happening in ten years, depending on how things go, but I can't see it happening in two. In fact, I'm sure enough about it that I'd propose a futures contract on the matter if I knew I could even find you two years from now |

Well, without the benefit of hindsight, ordinary nuclear power might sound like a massive "perpetual motion" scam as well. I mean seriously, self-heating based on some mumbo-jumbo theory about atoms and radio-activity? However, the US of A and other countries poured tons of money into research anyway. Therefore, the ongoing scepticism and lack of funding this time round seems suspicious in its own right. Hot fusion seems more of a dead-end to me: extremely large, complex reactors, which will wear out from the heat and from induced radioactivity, yet their research funding is magnitudes higher... To me, here's what makes it like Steorn: a person is claiming to have made an invention that requires a new physics, and refuses to show unambiguously that it works (or how it works) although it would be within his power to do so. In the case of nuclear power, the new physics was developed first, and proven in unambiguous experiments, and then the engineers set to work to harness it. But this is somewhat off the topic, I think. |

As far as Bitcoin as a market: I do not think that Bitcoin will fall below $2/coin again. I also think there will be some rising price as the block reward cut approaches, followed by a slight price slip once it occurs (in typical buy on rumor/sell on news fashion). As far as economies in general (including the Bitcoin economy): I think two years is not long enough for Bitcoin to become the primary mode of exchange in anything but a community specifically engineered to use it (e.g. the seasteading stuff miscreanity mentioned, if those projects actually get off the ground). Similarly, I can't take theories of "bitcoin outlawed" or "USD collapses" or similar seriously in the context of a 2 year timescale; unsustainable things are being done, but we are a long way from the point where they can no longer be propped up civilly. Frankly from what is out there right now, this looks no more credible then Steorn (which claimed to be a first-order perpetuum mobile and turned out to be a lot of hot air and magnet superstition). I mean, good on them if they managed it, but I have serious doubts. |

Can Qt version be made to look and function indistinguishable from wx? Probably. Does wx have a consistent look? I thought it just wrapped GTK+ :p As for function, it should be possible, though probably a lot of work. wx wraps whatever your native window drawing library happens to be. So GTK+, or Aqua, or whatever the heck Windows uses... |
