From Chrome on another computer I can connect to the prc server.

Is the JavaScript client using non-standard ports?

Hey there,

just tried to sign up and I found several little quircks.

First when I tried to register I found the captcha really hard to read and missed it. The site told me that I had to try again and... Once I tried it told me that my email address was already taken, which was certainly not true (my name is way too long for anybody to have make a mistake).

So obviously for whatever reason one the registration attempt I did a few second before failed and then "locked" my email address.

I think you should not consider emails from registration which are not complete to be already taken (especially not the emails created a few seconds ago). I only have one email address so this is very problematic for me to have a site telling me my email address is already registered.

Then there's a second error which many websites do: I've got a GMail address, so "abcdef@gmail.com" is the same as "abc.def@gmail.com". So when I noticed that your login procedure had a problem (and blocked my email address), I simply added a '.' in my email address and was able to bypass the "protection" preventing to reuse twice the same email address. GMail addresses should always be canonized when put in DBs and checked against their canonical form. Otherwise you do allow the same email address to be reused twice (defeating the very purpose of that check which is supposed to prevent the reuse of an email address).

Now I'm on the Chromium browser and when I try to use your site it says "Connecting to server..." and never connects. Could this be a firewall issue? (but my browser works with every single website out there). In case your server requires non-standard HTTP/HTTPS port(s), it should tell so to the user. If that's not the case, then forget what I said.

But I'm still stuck on the "Connecting to server..." screen.

I don't know if the reddit promo referral code still works... I used the second Reddit promo code.

Hey all,

I'm new here but already read quite a lot about bitcoins and already have a wallet, accounts on exchanges, etc. There's something I don't understand very well regarding orphaned blocks / double-spending / etc.

If I'm not a website (say not a gambling website) but just a regular user (and not a paranoid one) and expect a tx from another user which I believe is just also a regular user, how many blocks should I wait so that it's highly probable that I'll get my coins even if there are orphaned blocks? Exchange like MtGox and Bitstamp require about 6 confirmations. In Cryptsy you see the coins as "pending" and then, same thing: after 5 or 6 confirmation it eventually appears in your balance.

If would be great if someone could quote my individual questions and answer them: it would help me better grasp what's going on.

Imagine I'm waiting for a tx of 1 BTC to a public address which belongs to me and I now see the tx to my public address in a block explorer (say blockchain.info) with zero block of confirmation.

Am I correct in my understanding that even if there are orphaned blocks, once I saw the tx (even with 0 confirmation), it is still highly probable that I'll get my 1 BTC?

If I'm facing an attacker which want to try to prevent me from getting that 1 BTC even though I already saw that tx of 1 BTC to my public address, is the only possible attack a "double spend" attack?

If an attacker wants to try a double-spend attack, does that attacker need to also be in control of a big mining pool or can an attacker just try to do a double-spend attack anyway?

Can the network do anything versus attackers trying to do double-spend attacks? Is this even detectable?
