My full node metrics: http://statoshi.info

Very nice, Now I want to get another server running to play with your fork.
There is a strange button on the webpage though, lower right corner: "add a row". When I click it (chrome) it adds an empty row. Not sure what thats about
...ooh, wow. Nevermind I got it.

What is the minimum in terms of disk, cpu and ram you would recommend?

I'm running a fork of Bitcoin Core that emits metrics to Statsd, which are then collected by Graphite and rendered with flot graphs by Grafana.

So your point is that it looks like crap on all browsers? (seems you singled out chrome and then said the same for firefox).

Well, looks are a matter of taste. E.g. the part where the game is is not centered (or not properly stretched on all screen sizes) and the overall look and feel of the site feels cheap.


It have seen it run like crap from a few locations.

Same machine, chrome works fine and smooth, FF does not. Its even running smooth on an old 1GHz/1GB Ram laptop when using chrome. Not sure what the reason behind this is.

-snip-
What's wrong with gmails?

Well you apparently have a domain, why not use that? It just looks unprofessional.

The balloons float in front of the amounts won but if the game is running at the correct speed that should only happen for a split second.

True, but it would be better if its in front of the other balloons. Gamblers dont wana wait.

mBTC is what I intended for my MB.  

It should at least be explained somewhere if not optional to be changed to something different. E.g. americans apparently like "bit".

I didn't realize the pop up prevented you from clicking another tab (that is kind of a pain).  It's true I'm not validating outgoing addresses. As I said, thanks for all the constructive feedback.


You are welcome.
8464  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: coalesced transactions, is it possible? why want? on: November 08, 2014, 06:45:20 PM
-snip-
A re-statement of the question: could several transactions from several unrelated people, initiated at different times but targeted at the same time and address be coalesced into one transaction before execution, so that on the recipients end it only appears as one lump sum and transaction.

Yes, coinjoin [1], shared coin [2], darkwallet mixing [3] and many more do something similar or exactly this. The only thing thats not possible from what I read here is that you will not know in advance when exactly the TX will confirm, since you cant predict when a block will be found. As long as the time is only roughly important (e.g. after X, or any time on day Y) its fine.

Imagine your favorite podcaster ( -snip- ) advertising the regular time and day of the month that they would like for you to send your donations.

...and on that hour the miners just cant find a block and any TX will have to wait for 2 hours to get a confirmation. Its rare but it happens. I dont exactly see why the time is important though.

Thats extremely far fetched. What are the chances?

A laptop with wifi turned off (dont even need to remove the actual card for fuck sakes) will be safe unless you are someone like fucking Asagne or something.

100% is extreme, yes.

Whats the best DBAN method to use? PRNG stream?

For a magnetical HDD it does not matter nowadays. The old 7 times "rule" was made for disks with a wider track. Thus you can overwrite the disk with any data, 0's, 1's, random bits, your favorite dog pictures.

Edit: you could test how good DBAN works with DEFT [1]

8466  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Electrum or blockchain.info wallet over TOR for anonymity? on: November 08, 2014, 05:32:47 PM
So far I've been using Electrum with the various SOCKS5 proxies over TOR in order to make anonymous transactions (sending to paper wallet, etc.)

I've also opened a blockchain.info account in TOR browser and never used it over clear net.

It's a bit of a hassle loading Electrum with SOCKS5 sometimes, especially if the TOR electrum server is down or the TOR node you're connecting to is not friendly with Electrum.

So I'm wondering if using a blockchain.info wallet is the way forward, so long as I always connect in TOR browser. Will my IP remain anonymous?

Sure, but your password might not...

Looks, like Im way behind on the huggings bussiness...

Hug please. I just took a big risk with an alt-coin and hope to see it go up soon.

couldnt find an acutal bull...



although its a virtual hug, i feel better now. Thanks OP. I am experiencing some discouragements today.



Give me one bro!



Shouldn't this be moved to the off-topic section?

probably...

You should make a gif of you hugging. Smiley That way we get the feel.

uhm... maybe with a mask.

Looks like only shorena is giving out hugs now.
shorena, have you counted how many hugs you have given here?



Hug!!!    Wink Wink Wink Wink

not sure if thats a request...



I need a hug from a lady Smiley No bro hugs or bear hugs please.

So if your private keys are air gapped and if even using a usb to sign transactions isn't 100% safe, what is the alternative to signing transactions from an offline computer?

#1 QR Code, e.g. the bither app uses them
#2 sound [1]
#3 type the TX by hand, which is IMHO the safest way, unless your brain was hacked [3].  That level of security is almost never needed. On the other hand its not that hard unless you create a TX with 100 outputs/inputs. The nasty part would be the signed TX, which is just hex code and typos can happen easily.
#4 floppy [2]
#5 CD/DVD which is costly and has the similar problems USB has

Edit: In case this wasnt clear, I think for the majority of bitcoin users an USB stick is fine to transport data from cold to hot wallet. Not everyone needs/has a tinfoil hat.

#1 it looks like crap (on chrome)
#2 the game is not explained anywhere, it just has balloons and wants me to send BTC to an address
#3 the "about" section claims its the fairest game, yet there is no explanation why its fairer than other games or why its even fair in the first place.
#4 you use gmail for mails
#5 its oddly slow on firefox and does not look any better than it does on chrome
#6 its on NXT by default
#7 when I edit the available funds to play, the popped balloons are shown behind the other ones. The result is that you cant see whether you won or lost. And its odd in the first place that I have to modify your source to be able to test the game, see #2

#8 The jackpot is given in MB, most will probably understand this as Megabyte. I assume (!) you are looking for mBTC, µBTC or maybe MBTC (which I doubt).
#9 the "cash-out!" button results in an ugly popup that halts everything else I might want to within the same browserwindow (e.g. copy pasta my BTC address from my online wallet in another tab). It also gives no feedback whatsoever. "lolError?" is apparently an acceptable address or at least it does not complain.
8470  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a factory reset computer be used for cold storage? on: November 08, 2014, 02:55:58 PM
-snip-

1. Disconnect the laptop from internet.

2. Run Bitcoin-QT or some program to generate your address.

3. Send the wallet to an USB.

4. Remove the USB.

5. Ctrl+Shift+Del your wallet details from the laptop. If possible, format it once.

6. Connect your laptop to the internet and send bitcoin to your address, whose details are in USB.

7. Just keep the USB detouched from all internet connections... and you are safe Smiley

By the way, is this 100% safe?

Nope, an advanced trojan could be transmitted to the offline system via USB, snatch your private keys and call home when possible (e.g. using your online machine to broadcast the signed TX). So this might be compromised the moment you try to spend the bitcoins (e.g. connect the USB stick to an online machine). You also have a single point of failure (the USB stick) if it breaks your coins are gone.

On the other hand: nothing is 100% safe.

8471  Other / Meta / Re: love the way moderators just delete technical requests, no explanation, nada on: November 08, 2014, 12:14:08 PM
I reported both of your posts because they do not belong in tech. support and some nice mod moved them. If you look at the sections the board provides most of them have an explanation to them what they are about. In this section (meta) you will also find an unofficial FAQ in case you are not sure where to post what.


The Staff usually has to many requests to explain everything a user does wrong and relies on you to search for answers yourself.
8472  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Building on the Block Chain, Adding Data to Transactions (How-To) on: November 08, 2014, 12:00:27 PM
The elephant in the room is: why?
Why do you want to be the person that makes everyone running a full node store your data?

People are allready complaining about the size of the blockchain. The max_blocksize limit is reached fairly often recently, leaving TX unconfirmed that pay a fee and have reasonable high priority. What is so special about the data you want to store there that it cant be stored elsewhere?
8473  Other / Meta / Re: Topic moved out of Bitcoin Development & Technical Disccussion thread on: November 08, 2014, 11:44:39 AM
My guess: PoS is not a Bitcoin concept, so why post it there? If you wanted to discuss a replacement of PoW with an improved PoS your post fails to mention that.

It might also help if you explain why you think it belonged in the section you originally posted it in. Apparently at least the person reporting it and a mod think otherwise.
8474  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can a factory reset computer be used for cold storage? on: November 08, 2014, 11:07:20 AM
I need to buy a new laptop anyway so I was wondering if I completely wipe my current laptop (It's a sony vaio) could I then use it as my cold storage laptop? I plan to make a large investment in bitcoins very soon and was wondering if factory resetting my current laptop would be sufficient in terms of security? Cheers.

To answer your question: Yes, a wiped machine with disabled WiFi (as someone allready posted) can be used as cold storrage. Just make sure you format all drives before (or durring setup) installing the new OS.

8477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin-Qt taking ages to load on: November 07, 2014, 05:02:49 PM
In all likelihood it is checking the block database to ensure it is not damaged (intentionally or unintentionally).

You can add "checklevel=1" in bitcoin.conf
BUT that is usually not recommended because you won't know if the block database has been corrupted.

You could check the debug log and see if that gives you any idea as to the issue if it isn't as above, but I bet it is the database check.

Or you dont mess with checklevel -which I think is fine for endusers- and set the number of blocks to check to e.g. 10 with

checkblocks=10

default is 288 [1]

Thats why you should argue this on the english section of the board.

rohanpandit1992: Deutsches Unterforum!!! DEUTSCH! Ich kann aber eigentlich schon englisch aber was will rohanpandit1992 eigentlich genau??!


Zurück zum Thema: Coinpiler ist wohl ein Standardschneeballsystem aber wahrscheinlich sogar legal weil man mit seinen Bitcoins Ebooks oder so kaufen soll und somit etwas erhält. Mit dem Geld werden dann halt andere weiter oben im System "versorgt".

Kein Plan, irgendwas von er habe jetzt eine Seite und das sei ja gar kein Ponzi. Ich vermute mal steckt entweder hinter Coinpiler oder hat da Aktien drin.
8479  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: COINPILER --> PONZI?! on: November 07, 2014, 04:07:50 PM
stop saying ponzi i hate ponzi sites and gives the instantly not trustworthy rating
PM me to request for removal

You have negative rep for running ponzies.
Besides that, how is this related to the topic? Why do you post english in the german section?
