That's exactly what I meant.

Mainly due to a post on a Russian IT-community site, http://habrahabr.ru.

True dat!

Топик от хабраюзеров всея биткойна... Пора уже перекличку делать.

Looks like it's time for a roll-call

I wonder if that's due to bigger swarm, or heavier iron, or both...?

Why do you do this:
?

This is not XML, no need to wrap it in yet another layer...

"It\'s better in the pond"?

It's also better to escape characters properly...

I have a munin code for bitcoin, but it's pretty shitty, and I don't have enough time to improve it further.
It makes a lot of assumptions right now, and plotting is bit off too.

Requires IPv6. We're not quite there yet...

You drag in jQuery and also pollute the JS global object?
Sorry to say, but that is pretty weak...

Not to mention that it will not work when JS is disabled.

Gotta tighten up that code man.

Got yours Sent it back...

Currently the software is not asking any questions before performing any sort of transaction.

So it's really easy for people to send all the BTC's to some random bitcoin address in a few seconds the owner steps away from the computer without locking it.

I know that it is more of an issue of local security and trust, rather then a software problem. However for majority of non-technical, non security-savvy people some safe-guard should be in place.

Maybe even combined with wallet encryption.

What does everyone think about it?

I'm a big fan of Harry Potter myself Dr. Seuss is pretty much unknown where I come from

Just read the chapter list for both and you'll have a pretty good understanding... Don't have to lash out with "Dr. Seuss" and what not. Both book titles are fairly self-explanatory.

Ok. Both books are preaching the Austrian school's ideas, so they should be a right fit for this community.

"Defending the Undefendable" covers various social aspects and practices of our lives, which are under heavy ostracism by the society (off the cover : The Pimp, Prostitute, Scab, Slumlord, Libeler, Moneylender, and Other Scapegoats in the Gogue's Gallery of American Society). Part V covers financial personages, such as The (Nongovernment) Counterfeiter, The Miser, The Inheritor, The Moneylender, The Noncontributor to Charity, and shows how those are not bad guys, but it fact are required for a normal economy; also covering a good deal about the economy in general.

"Economics in one lesson" is a very old treatise on economics, circa 1946, which is still surprisingly valid in describing current state of economical affairs.

I strongly suggest everyone to read entire Part V of Walter Block's "Defending the Undefendable" (http://www.indytruth.org/library/books/block-defending/defending.pdf). The rest is also good, but beyond this particular discussion. Other book I could recommend would be "Economics in one lesson" by Hazlitt (http://www.hacer.org/pdf/Hazlitt00.pdf).

Should bitcoind be more of a system-wide daemon? With PAM authentication and support for all system users, not just the one running it?
Like scanning /home/*/.bitcoin folders for a wallet file and provide access by both username and system password...

A browser extension (greasemonkey maybe) would be cool, to show a bitcoin icon (similar to https lock) to show that a site participates in bitcoin economy.

Also, perhaps more attention should be focused on supporting microformats, so the bitcoin economy is not only site-specific, but even item-specific on a page. (by microformats i mean information embedded in html markup, rather than external json files. More info @ http://microformats.org/)

I've sent the info to the operator, but might as well post it here.

Blackjack has a lot of bugs. If you split and get two aces afterwards - it will show NaN (and will not remove chips off the table for the next round). Happened to me twice.

And if someone can share an init.d script (Ubuntu) it can be more permanent, in case of reboots.
