Looking at the latest 1001 blocks, I'm already seeing 200+ v4 blocks.

medUSA then I'm not so sure about it :/ You will get faster answer on Github since it's a technical issue .
I got this error when I tried to open on Ubuntu 15.10:

$ electrum
"sni-qt/11012" WARN  09:41:06.933 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

(...too many lines like this...)

Any ideas?

What version are you using ? I saw ThomasV post somewhere and the error seems to be the same , he just asked the person to upgrade his wallet to the latest version . (which is 2.5.2 now)

I'm using the latest one. The problem seemed to be related to the Ubuntu upgrade to 15.10.

I tried to run another pyqt to see if the same error happen. It didn't. However, when I tried run electrum after that, it worked! Weird. But it's ok now.

so core devs control all the nodes and miners now  Roll Eyes

Core devs control the code that ~85% of the network nodes elect to run.



No, they don't.

The code is available so anyone can modify as they like. XT is a great example of how anyone can just fork, release a new code and (if the majority of miners like it) be the code that rules the network.

Only because some one wrote the code that the majority uses now, doesn't give any absolute power over what might happen next. Of course their saying has some influence, but the choice is still for the miners (individually) to make.

Nope I'm in Europe! I need to find one cheap card that works fine.

advchash.com works well for me.
6  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Another way to track new BIP101 blocks on: August 27, 2015, 11:11:43 AM
Hello,

I've wrote this script [1] to help tracking the latest 1000 blocks in order to find how many of them are BitcoinXT blocks.

I know there is already websites like xtnodes.com or blocktrail.com which show in a pretty (with graphs) the (kind of) same information.

But sometimes those sites are off (due to DDoS attacks or whatever) and this script keeps a local database (sqlite) with all the latest 1000 blocks which makes easy to count how many XT blocks have been mined.

Tthe first time the script run, it will load the database with information about the latest 1000 blocks (takes some minutes), and from then on it will update with only the newer blocks, showing a summary using only the latest 1000 blocks.

Hope it helps those who prefer command line scripts! Smiley

Was sent here by reddit- looks about the same as discussions today.
Yeah. The future looks like the past...

That's what every trader think like now: i'm not sure about months, but in the coming weeks it will certainly  go down,  so I can short and buy back more later...


....well, we'll see...

Yeah, but the float is really tiny.

What if big money suddenly comes in ?

This thing could move really, really fast.

And don't need to be that big... 3.7k coins to hit $372 from $347

I hope bitcoin raise 1k++
I hope it raises 1M++

But you both think it will go down in the following months, right?

Months? It would be a huge guess.

Weeks? Yes, looks like it.

At least the Year profit seems heading down.

Countdown: about a week till we'll get under one-year-ago price. Probably 13th November.

12  Economy / Economics / Re: What if a Country go back to Gold (bitcoin) standard? on: November 04, 2014, 10:37:30 PM
Does anyone have an idea on what happen if a country decide to go back to a Gold standard?

Imagine that there is no threat to this country come from the others. It's a middle sized economy.

Its economy would become strong. It would not be able to inflate there currency for obvious reason.

What are the pros and cons? A fly solo like this is even possible/imaginable?

I'm just curious to know what you guys think it might happens.


Read what happened when England went back to Gold Standard in 1925.  Results werent good and they went off it in 1931
I don't think the same apply. We are much more global now. The effects could be better or worse.

What's the reason to use gold standard?  Historically, countries went off gold standard because there wasn't enough gold to back the monetary demand.

What would probably happen is that boom & bust cycles would be extreme and you get things like Great Depression



Why you say so? You can divide 1g.of gold indefinitely, just as btc!


In theory yes. Nobody would use gold, but gold certificate instead. However, it would be difficult to get your gold back for very little amounts

Russia and China already accumulated a lot of gold. Any deal between these two countries will probably be backed by gold.

I'd like to see that happen...

Depend on the size of the country.

Thank you for this. Very helpfull.

America would instantly refuse to trade with them and force everyone they could to do the same utterly destroying the country.

What if it does not happen?

I'd like the views from a economic point of view.

Or in essence, it's quite interesting, but why should I use it?

I see it as a way to create a ring of trust. You only "friend" someone you really trust! So friends of friends you trust should be trustworthy. It's a great way to create a decentralized network for trading.

Bitcoin in/fiat out, or bitcoin in/bitcoin out?

By the looks of it, you put Bitcoin in and get credits.  You spend the credits on the models and they get paid in fiat.

I believe the models receive in fiat (in the credit card, I suppose). But it wont take long to bitcoin become and option for withdrawal
