Also, on an unrelated note:
I split up funds from one address to several addresses in a different wallet. When entering the outputs, Armory wrote the wallet name at the first five output addresses, but then not any more for the next addresses. And finally, in the tx list of the main window, a wrong tx size is displayed.
Let's say it was 1.0005 BTC transferred to ten addresses, 0.1 BTC each, with 0.005 BTC fees. Then the main window only shows a tx of 0.9 BTC, missing the tenth one. Everything arrived where it should, though.
You can imagine these two symptoms got me slightly sweatin' ;-)

Okay guys, I am sure this whole random source discussion is totally exaggerated. Quit it. Right now. You see, I am already thinking about combining that rasbpi and that old radiation source from a smokedetector for a secure, true random, convenient randomness-server. Which may or may not collect additional randomness sources and XOR them all together. Any, wtf, they found a hardware rng in the rasbpi: http://hsmmpi.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/enabling-the-hardware-random-number-generator/..still want my very own source, though.. Alan, whatdaya think?

Nur zur Info ich beginne jetzt mit der Vorbereitung des nächsten Stammtisches am 21.11.
Wenn jemand noch Vorschläge und Ideen hat: Bitte melden.
Wo und wie auch immer: Freue mich drauf! Danke für das Organisieren, Carsten! :-) Ente |

Also wird das Forum nur für Organisation von Verein-Events etc verwendet? Mir geht es eher darum das nicht versucht wird ein paralleles allgemeines Forum aufzubauen.
Als Ausländer hab ich momentan nicht vor dem e.V. beizutreten.
Nur mal so interessehalber: Was stört dich an einem hypothetischen zweiten, dritten, zwanzigsten Forum? Bist du für Zentralisierung? Findest du es gut, dass es de Fakto nur Bitcointalk und Reddit gibt? Bitcointalk ist ja auch schon oft genug offline gegangen, und ab und an gleich mit MtGox dazu.. Dezentralisierung, anyone? Davon abgesehen steht es wohl ausser Frage, dass ein national tätiger e.V. mit verstreuten Mitgliedern Infrastruktur wie z.B. ein Forum braucht. Uns natürlich ist das ein vereinsinternes Ding. Und, natürlich, darf jeder im Verein mitmachen. Zumindest habe ich nichts gegenteiliges gesehen. lclc, wo liegt das Problem? Ente |

Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, kann sich wohl nur im Forum registrieren, wer einen Mitgliedsbeitrag zahlt. Forum Schreibrechte also nur gg Bezahlung? Wenn ja, dann ohne mich  Geh doch mal zu einer Telekom Jahreshauptversammlung und frage, ob du rein darfst und Häppchen naschen, auch wenn du kein Anteilseigner bist ;-) Ich möchte eigentlich nicht, dass Heerscharen von Trollen und Sockpuppets über den BBit (oder das Forum) herfallen. Das hab ich ja schließlich schon im Bitcointalk *g* Fein Dennis, danke für das Update! Ente |

Are you serious? An all out attack on bitcoin would be a stupid and pointless thing for them to do. Consider this. Bitcoin allows some privacy but not too much. That is probably the best scenario for law enforcement purposes in the USA.
The point is that it's possible to catch people like DPR, but still private enough for most people to use most of the time. A "hard" crypto currency that used full link encryption and message mixes as part of the basic protocol would probably replace it and that would be a full on disaster from their point of view.
Bitcoin is law friendly enough to regulate and tax and they'll only lose that quality if they press an attack.
This is an intriguing thought. Now, if "they" only think that far in advance.. Fair trade! Ente |

There is no question that police officers are allowed to directly mislead and/or deceive others about their identity, their law enforcement status, their history, and just about anything else, without breaking the law or compromising their case. For instance, law enforcement officers directly engaged in the enforcement of controlled substance laws are exempt from laws surrounding the purchase, possession, sales or use of illegal substances. https://www.erowid.org/freedom/police/police_info6.shtmlParanoia in 5, 4, 3, 2...

it breaks down to the mechanics of the game [..]
I guess I am pretty much against games that use any form of real currency [..]
I agree. Introducing real currencies makes everything different, hell of a lot more complicated, but opens op a whole new world of possibilities too. Many years ago I read Neal Stephenson's REAMDE, where just this is described, a MMORPG with real currency, and free and easy connection to real-world money. Yes, it's just a novel (a good one), but I think he was up to something there. Also:  if you can buy items with real money (inc btc) it's unfair.. that is the basics of it.. appearance items are ok, but not a Sword of a Thousand Truths which one shots people and only rich people can afford. [..]
That's a problem. So, lets turn this into an opportunity! Like, you may easily (and expensively) buy the "Sword of a Thousand Truths". It costs the awesome amound of 500 gold. To wield it, you have to have an additional 500 gold with you. When wielding it, a huge red arrow points into your direction. Alternatively a huge dollarsign. Or other players can enable, or buy "gold-goggles" for the same effect. Now when the sword-wielding guy finally is taken down, he drops his gold to be lootet. What happens? He will kill many many people. Until gangs form and hunt down high-profile players. Goldmules. This redistributes gold, makes playing possible with no initial bitcoins, makes the game very attractive for, hell, everyone! And, by "losing" a few percent of the gold each kill/drop/loot you could even finance the whole game eventually. Oh, use gold and bitcoins, with a slightly floating exchangerate, maybe slightly inflating. Of course the whole new can of worms with the bitcoin exchangerate opens up here.. So, maybe, gold is pegged to USD, with a slight floating and/or inflating exchangerate. Your bitcoins are "just" a method of getting gold in and out of the game, bitpay-style. By now, after two years this thread is open, I think it's not about Bitcoin in itself or the killeridea how to put Bitcoin into a game. It will all explode once a game with large esthablished playerbase uses Bitcoin (first). For a newcomer to go viral, it has to measure itself on the big productions, and have Bitcoin as an additional, new, viral component. Ente |

Hi all,
The firmware issue was found and fixed a few hours ago! I've confirmed it on my test unit as have others. ZERO HW errors and over 5gh/s @350MHz. The K16's are a go!
I think there will be some code cleanup, boot loader and a few other more minor things yet, but I suspect all the assemblers will start pumping them out now.
Thank-you to those who kept working on the project and getting things working!!
Message me if you need K16 assembly. I'll have parts/PCB's, not ASIC's. I'm in Canada (west coast) and can do assembly for USA/CAN customers.
Absolutely awesome! :-) That's great news indeed! Out of curiosity: What exactly is the problem? In simple terms? :-) Ente |

New feature: Leveraged lending!
Again Bitfinex is the first in the industry!
:-P SCNR
Interesting concept.... can you please elaborate on that? I'm pretty sure he is being sarcastic in regards to the bug. Indeed, this was no serious suggestion. Money to be lent out must be somewhere, after all, not? :-) A feature down the road should allow the borrowing of USD to be lent out at a higher rate. IE I take the offer at 30% pay the daily interest on that and then lend it back out at 40%
This would be a bad idea. It would totally distort the "free market price finding" mechanism. It would not add any benefit, it would just distribute the same money around. Rates would go up enormously and make the lending part uninteresting for most other people. You *could* argue that it would stabilize the rates a bit, in low-rates times more is lent out, in high-rates times there is more available. But in the end, I believe it would make borrowing a worse experience. It might work out more fair when the borrower has a minimum time he must borrow the funds. Or both the lender and borrower have to click "close prematurely" to close it. Then the borrower would have a real benefit (additional volume). Okay, thinking of it, there could be two kinds of "borrow": "Use for yourself", like it is now. "Use for re-lending", where you can re-lend for a higher rate, but can only close the lend before exoiration when the original lender agrees. And as a lender you should be able to decide to only lend the current way, the new way, or both. I will close a position these days. My average rate is much lower than the current rates. I did think "man, if I could re-lend it for the current rates, sweet!". But then, closing my position now, I help to lower the average rate, and give the lenders the chance to re-lend for a better rate next time. So, all-in-all, I find it difficult to have another middleman to collect money for nothing, from both sides.. Ente |

Major Bug
I currently have more USD lent out than I have in my account.
Yes, I now also have $150 more in 'USD credit total' than 'USD'. Seems to me like some loan offer got duplicated on autorenew or something like that. New feature: Leveraged lending! Again Bitfinex is the first in the industry! :-P SCNR Ente |

In Germany, you can't simply buy and sell bitcoins as sort of a business, you would need to get a (money transmitter? "banking"?) licence for this.
[...]
I didn't follow this for other countries, how about exchanging bitcoins on a professional scale in Sweden and Finland? Would you need a licence? In Sweden you need to register with "Finansinspektionen" but it's not that expensive. 24 000 SEK (~2700 EUR) to register if you are a company, 11 000 SEK if you're an individual. You then pay 10 000 or 2 000 SEK each year. And you need to follow AML/KYC rules. Thank you for the info. Sweden? Awesome! Ente |

Wow, indeed good news, and great work!
In Germany, you can't simply buy and sell bitcoins as sort of a business, you would need to get a (money transmitter? "banking"?) licence for this. Buying and selling for your private, personal needs is all fine (and income-taxable if not held for one year minimum).
I didn't follow this for other countries, how about exchanging bitcoins on a professional scale in Sweden and Finland? Would you need a licence? Or is "I pay taxes on my profit" all you need to do?

This is about the conclusion I reached just from a wild-ass guess. Unless DPR was investing in some other expensive activities or managed to get swindled himself, he doesn't seem to have spent much. He lived practically like a monk. While San Francisco is a pretty expensive place even to live like a monk, it's not enough to put a significant dent in his money. Assuming he saved his non-expense money, and didn't have any other big business-related expenses (like the hits) that we don't know about, he'd of course still have most of it. Except for most of his career, BTC was much less valuable; he'd have put significant dents in his wallet up until the last 6 or 10 months when bitcoin really took off. Remember, in June 2012 for instance, a bitcoin was only $7. Every $1000 in expense (hosting, employees, living expenses) would have depleted him of 142 bitcoins which is now worth $27,000. Between site hosting, paying developers/consultants, paying employees $1000-$2000/wk, taking money for his own expenses, etc, the true amount that he retained for himself has got to be far smaller. Especially the early months of his existance, the commissions he received were huge is terms of bitcoins, but they were likely spent long ago just trying to keep the place going. Well, did you read the post on Reddit? gwern did run through the numbers, exactly the way you suggest: "How many bitcoins did DPR have to spend each week at the back-then exchange rate?". I find his numbers plausible. Unless, of course, some other big funds drawing positions are not known of. Ente |
