What happens if I generate 1000 addresses and my key pool is of only 100 addresses? Key Pool is automatically increased? Just to make sure you are understanding how the client works: - When you click "New" the client is grabbing an address from the key pool and, if necessary, subsequently generating a new address (that you don't yet see) to bring the keypool back to its target size. So yes, the KeyPool is replenished each time you click New. So the wallet holds all addresses including the "used" ones given to you when you clicked "new" and also all the "unused" ones from the key pool. And just to clarify ... I'm referring to an address as "used" not necessarily to mean that it has been used in a transaction but instead just that it is no longer an "unused" address in the key pool. |

from version 3.2.xxxish to any address from bitaddress.org. It sends fine from newer clients. Just to make sure -- are you referring to an address generated by the current version of that script (v0.5 or greater)? There was a problem with older versions. - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43496.0Additionally, perhaps the problem has to do with the copy and paste you are attempting. Try typing the code manually, or using a tool in the middle (e.g., paste to Notepad or a text editor and then select the text just pasted and copy it back to the clipboard) to troubleshoot this possibility. |

A few resources: The client is downloaded about 2K times per day at current levels: - http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/stats/timeline?dates=2011-01-01+to+2019-12-31These are not all new, as with each release many existing users will download to upgrade, for instance. This metric is probably the best to show how much the currency is used, though since the currency is used most often for speculation, as the exchange rate falls, so will volume for speculation: - http://pi.uk.com/bitcoin/charts/n-transactionsAnother chart worth revisiting, wikipedia article views: - http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/BitcoinYou might find value from this (though it is shameless plug): - http://twitter.com/bitcoineconomyThis chart of the number of merchants on the trade page might be useful as well: - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1221/is-there-a-chart-of-bitcoin-merchants-over-timeAs far as knowing when previously hoarded coins are seeing play, follow the BitcoinDays Damaged chart: - http://banana.mine.nu/daysdest.html - http://abe.john-edwin-tobey.org/chain/Bitcoin?count=2016 (data in html table form) Google trends: - http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoin&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011&sort=0Bitcoin By The Numbers: - http://stuffexists.com/numbers/Some sense of how far Bitcoin has come along, take a look at: - http://stuffexists.com(and then remember that six months ago there were just a few exchanges, the BTC/USD was under $1 and that site, had it existed, would have needed only one column -- if that.  ) Hope these are useful to you. |

a payment rejection is the receipt of another confirmed transaction on the Bitcoin network that purports to spend the same funds to a different payee, invalidating the original transaction paying you. How about a payment that just isn't confirming. For example, let's say no fee was paid and no miners have included it? |

I've noticed that if an older Bitcoin client tries to send to some address we get
`invalid bitcoin address`. There is some validity checking in the client but there've not been any reports of that check in the older clients have any problem like that. Would you provide an address with which you experience this specific problem? |

A wire transfer is going to cost you in the range of $20 or more, depending on who you bank with. If you are in the U.S. or Canada, perhaps the quickest method is to use an exchange that accepts cash deposit at a bank. The the U.S., this would be http://www.exchb.com and the banks where you can deposit cash is either Wells Fargo or Bank of America. The fee for a $100 deposit is $1. In Canada there is http://www.cavirtex.com and http://bitcoin-central.net which offer cash deposit methods. If you don't mind a delay and are in the U.S., another method is to sign up with Dwolla and then link your bank account to Dwolla and use them to transfer funds to an exchange. You then have several methods: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_bitcoins |

Hey, an active panel -- that works! |

There are some businesses that are great candidates for accepting Bitcoin as payment. The online travel-booking industry is one that should be all over bitcoin, for instance as margins are razor-thin and saving the 3% payment-card fee could significantly increase their profits. But established companies generally aren't the first movers. What will likely need to happen first is for there to be some brilliant entrepreneur from some unheard of corner of the world who uses Bitcoin as a competitive advantage in a challenging space and cleans up as a result. All it takes is one earnings report crediting Bitcoin as the reason for a great growth story and things could start to get interesting for the currency. For recruiting additional merchants, however, perhaps an approach that would work would be to attain pledges to conduct a certain volume of business before making the pitch to the merchants. Of course, with a geographically dispersed community this approach remains very difficult. There was at one time a group-buying site for Bitcoin, http://www.MetaCo.in which might have caught on but the service has not returned after being shuttered when they could no longer use the shopping cart system that they had been using (MyBitcoin's). The opportunity does exist ... there are today thousands of bitcoins being converted each day into fiat and subsequently used for purchases. There is value lost in performing that exchange and many of those holding bitcoin would gladly use bitcoin for their spendiing. The problem is this spending is not concentrated geographically or in specific categories so there aren't many merchants that are really missing out by not accepting Bitcoin today. We are a great distance from the tipping point where merchants are clamoring to begin accepting bitcoin organically though services such as BTC Buy ( http://www.btcbuy.info ) appear to do decent volume by providing a bridge between these merchants and Bitcoiners. http://Bit-Pay.com is another promising development which will likely spur additional adoption. We can help spur adoption ourselves as consumers by patronizing at every opportunity merchants who do accept bitcoin already. http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Real_world_shops | http://searchbitcoin.com | http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/TradeOne tool that might prove useful is the Casascius physical bitcoin. Though it is not suitable (in its current incarnation) for use like traditional coinage it does work well as a conversation starter and can help to describe how bitcoin can be used by those without a computer even. http://www.casascius.com |

Let me know if you are particular features that you would like to see in the API. Also, if you plan on using the API please contact me, so that I know you are using it :-) I can provide example JavaScript files for accessing the API.
A request .. not for the API but for the site itself. When I click on an item in the left pane (the "Live Feed"), what happens is the content in the right pane (the "Review Store") is updated with the item I clicked on. However, that isn't intuitive and only realized that is what is happening after coming back to the site a few times. Can there be some UX improvement on that? If needed, maybe some animation or something to show how the click on the left results in a content update on the right? Additionally, what would be a useful would be a "latest additions" view, so that I can see just what is new. And lastly, ... a contact / feedback mechanism for requests like this perhaps? |

I wonder if it would be possible to produce a version of it integrated with a Bitcoin wagering system. The idea would be you'd have to put Bitcoins in to play in a session, and the winners would win the Bitcoins as the game progressed. Take over a base, win a bitcoin from the person who owned it prior, etc. There is a GitHub version here: http://stephank.github.com/orona/bolo.htmlThere is some game/gaming combination ... where it isn't just a game of chance, but where playing skills improve your odds. (yes, I know "Poker" is one of thes, and already exists ... but I'm referring to variety). I see that http://bittleships.com is one of these types of apps. Would be great to see more. |

Looks like the site is no longer reporting exchange trades (red).

The new wallet is not showing any transactions and the block values keep rising (so its connected). Is this "new wallet" on the same computer? Please describe with a little more detail. So that the advice is specific to your exact situation, you might consider providing the Bitcoin addresses of these transactions. For a new installation, until the client has downloaded all the blocks needed, it will not show new transactions. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#I_was_sent_some_bitcoins_and_they_haven.27t_arrived_yet.21_Where_are_they.3FAny ideas how to fix this? What you are describing can happen when the same wallet is copied and run from two separate computers. When that happens, in certain instances an invalid transaction can be made and invalid transactions will not confirm and be left showing permanently as 0/unconfirmed. Without performing surgery to the wallet, there is no way to get the "0/uncofirmed" to go away, so spending the wallet's balance and starting fresh is probably the best suggestion if that is what is happening. Rather than depending on the client to tell you what transactions have been processed, consider using the BlockExplorer. Once the transaction apears is in BlockExplorer, then you can know it was a valid transaction. |

My electricity is [a privately-owned regulated monopoly]. My water company is [a privately-owned regulated monopoly]. My sewage company is [a privately-owned regulated monopoly]. Fixed that for you. My property taxes are very low.  |
