1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [RELEASE] Portable Bitcoin Client (for USB use!) on: September 13, 2012, 02:06:02 PM
People here are wary of programs, especially ones that come from untrusted/new people. Normally any code is posted in a github.

Understandable, but I don't consider over a year of membership being "new," granted I haven't been on in a while.. But when I basically already showed the code and method I was using, its hard to understand why people will fuss about it. I'm not using an actual compiler so I can't just github it. I'm using a program to convert batch into a binary, however I recently started a C++ class in college so I'm very much considering making a binary.. It won't be as invisible as this one, but I'll do the job.. In fact, I think I'll start right now just to time myself on it.

Back into Bitcoin again and decided to post my most recent change to the Bitcoin Portable Client for USB.
Though honestly, I don't use this one much anymore because I just created myself a Web App to access my wallet at Blockchain.info haha..  Cheesy

Edit: Lmao, why would I pay for winrar? I got the portable version for free, just because I can.. Though I prefer 7-zip really..
3  Economy / Service Discussion / iPhone Bitcoin Wallet "Blockchain" app alternative! [Non-jailbroken] on: September 09, 2012, 06:27:50 AM
Hey everyone, so I heard a TON about the infamous "Blockchain" app where you can access an online bitcoin wallet from your iPhone.
The site seemed trustworthy so I imported my wallet there and I really enjoyed the site.. Their app, however, I did not.
As some of you might know, they decided to remove the wallet feature because apple was being as whiny as usual.
Blockchain has a mobile site, and I don't know, but I really don't like Safari links for a mobile site when you can use a Web App.
Since I have an iPhone 4S under warranty, jailbreaking wasn't an option, so I figured I'd make a "Web App" wrapper for the Blockchain mobile site.

The wrapper turned out great and my ONLY regret is if you switch out of the app and then switch back, it'll refresh the login. This happens with all web apps and sadly I couldn't find a solution. I did do an extra mile though so you can even have a pre-defined login on the page (same as going to http://blockchain.info/wallet/YOUR-ALIAS) and hopefully I'll be getting my source code to them so they can implement it directly.

But for now, the web app is at http://blockchain.mmohq.com and I also have it set so you can go to http://blockchain.mmohq.com/YOUR-ALIAS to load the page using your alias.
Once on the page, simply add it to your Home Screen and viola!

Also, for anyone who would like to see the code for learning purposes or to be sure this isn't a malicious site (which I totally understand your concern), or even to host your own private version of it (but please don't share private hosted versions, I want a little credit  Smiley ), then here's a copy of the source code.. And yeah, it's pretty sweet and simple: http://www.mediafire.com/?nzfgcudojvhiryc

If you liked this and would like to make a donation, here's my BTC address:

Edit: Nevermind! Apparently mannkind on reddit was badass enough as to explain that you have to wait and do a certain set up steps to access your wallet. Sir, hats off to you for saving me a ton of time and just being awesome in general! For anyone still interested, you can still use the link or the source files and learn how this can be done with this or any other web wallet.

Sounds great, though the name kinda contradicts Bitcoin since its a decentralized currency.
"Control" makes it sound like how the government always centralizes a currency.
But the idea sounds great, I hope it get some good rep!  Cheesy

This is great! I miss brazil as I used to live there for my dad's job, years back...
We lived there for 13 months in Rio de Janeiro and it was a life changing experience! ^^

I hope your idea for a "wallet manager" isn't a copy command in a batch file that you ran through your BAT2EXE... I doubt it can understand the -datadir option I'm already using to frustrate trojans that are just as naïve.
I was offended at your post opposing me again, but I saw the end and it was too primitively basic.
You see, to use the wallet manager, it helps to run it on your computer and keep a backup on the USB drive... Like a wallet!
I will, however, put a slight disclaimer in there though. thank you.
As for the quote above? That made me laugh... You are so naive that you entirely missed this:
Quote
I've created a Wallet Manager which is open batch cause the guy above me is a *****, and yes I censored myself but you can count the stars and make a good guess! Wink
(Side Note: And yeah, I bolded the part that you so easily missed. It was specifically to shut you up, and the fact that actual wallet management and movement should easily be open source because even I wouldn't trust a closed-source wallet manager. The reason the client is, is because it's easier to tell the icon apart from a simple batch file. If I could give a batch file an icon without needing another file, I would.)
And basically meaning that the wallet manager is "Wallet Manager.bat", a batch! But you wouldn't know shit about my program as you haven't even loaded the download site and looked at the posted list of the zip file. Before you accuse, open a damn sandbox and test this thing like any respective forum member, even try VMware or something like it. And yeah, THAT is how you properly test a suspicious file. I've taken my time studying how to actually test possible infected items, so I can know what I talk about before I bash something. But you just point the finger and are no better than the people at /b/.

Okay, now for the main attraction... I'm releasing PBC version 1.3!
I've created a Wallet Manager is open batch cause the guy above me is a *****, and yes I censored myself but you can count the stars and make a good guess!  Wink
The Wallet Manager is made to copy your bitcoin client between your PC and Portable Bitcoin Client, in case I'm not the only one that has multiple clients with the same wallet...
So enjoy, and I'll think about actually taking his advice and re-coding the original bitcoin client to save in a local data folder, but I'm much better playing with my batch for now.. xP

This would be a more helpful and trustworthy thread if it was just instructions and no binary, i.e.:

How to make a portable bitcoin:
1. Copy bitcoin.exe to USB drive \bitcoin
2. copy bitcoin user directory contents to USB drive \bitcoin\data
3. run bitcoin.exe -datadir=.\data, or save this command as a bat file
4. don't lose USB drive

A real "creator of the portable bitcoin client" would just release a diff against the source code that changes the default directory. A binary would only be trustworthy if several people compile and get MD5 identical code, and the binary is hosted at a versioning URL unchangeable by the author.

Of course, there are already instructions, which should make you question the binary more: http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=809.0

Lol, it almost looked like you accused me... I was about to find me a moderator, record what I do to make this, then rub it in some faces..  Cool
Either way, I'm slowly working on increasing the usability with each version and I doubt everyone wants to code the batch each time. My little kit really "babies" it so an idiot could use it, hehe. And pst.. I used the same instructions to base the binary, bro.. Silly little wisecrack xD
Ah, okay, I'm done trolling you...  Wink But seriously, I don't screw with your threads and people have already been scanning it, so what more do you want other than to make flame posts to merely raise your "post count"?  Shocked

Probably not safe.
I ran a virus/malware scan and its all clear for me.Hope this helps.If in doubt,either don't run it or run in a virtual machine or sandbox app.
Thanks for sharing the info, I was about to just delete the topic cause no one cared much for it lol..  Tongue
10  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Request:I need USB portable versions of Bitcoin client and GUIminer on: July 14, 2011, 07:44:40 AM
I need someone who has the expertise to help develop these for me:
1.A portable version of hte official Bitcoin client (For PC and Mac if possible)
2.A portable GUI miner app (as this uses the official bitcoin client for solo mining due to the router rules at home and in my workplace) (for PC and mac if possible)
...
1.The person or people who developed the apps in question for me will get paid 5BTC (20BTC if successful) of the BTC mined as a result of this experiment (if successful).Don't give me ur BTC address until the experiment is finished please.

Will this help..? I made this a month ago: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/0JsDaGd/BitcoinPortable_v1.2.zip.html
Also, here's the forum topic with a lil info on it.. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18870
(Maybe I'll get my first bitcoins finally ^^)

And the GuiMiner should be an easy copy/paste to work, even on usb... Good luck and keep me updated, wanna hear if it all works out for ya! =)
11  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity bitcoin addresses: a new way to keep your CPU busy on: July 14, 2011, 07:40:16 AM
If someone can make and PM me a link to a windows binary that'll help me create vanity addresses, I'd be extremely greatful and might even have a bit bitdecimals I can share in gratitude.. And I'm sure there's others that would be greatful too if you'd link it here... Cheesy
12  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Just wondering.. Is it possible to make a bitcoin bank in Bash? on: June 30, 2011, 12:52:14 AM
Okay, so the server I'm using is mounted with noexec but I can use the BASH command and I cannot use /libexec/ld.elf_so
Is there any way to run a bitcoind wallet with only bash, no binaries?
I know that sounds like unix suicide, but I just had to ask lol...  Grin
13  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [SUGGESTION] "Reseller" Bitcoin Pools? on: June 29, 2011, 11:53:35 PM
You're forgetting the amount of hash power currently needed to solve a block in reasonable time...
We're at ~400Gh currently, and the long blocks still takes about 6-12h to solve...

That's nothing a "little" clan could be possible to put together...

This is where Clancoin enters the picture... Wink

You're both right. A simple clan cannot do this easily, if at all.
But at the same time, if you had a service hosting multiple "clan pools" but in reality having a single master pool, then having the separate outlets gives more competition to services and perks while sharing a single goal and bitcoin pool.
If this works the way I envision it, there's little chance of failure.

If I had the code to do this, I could literally have it up within around a week to maybe as much as a month.
I'm currently working on a server for a bitcoin pool with a friend and old co-worker. If I get what I need to run this, it'll basically be a single bitcoin pool with the ability for "pool operators" to bear the face of a community while assisting us in our goal and doing all marketing and scripting for us. Basically, we get our service out and the "consumer" is the presumed "pool operator" while we get the traffic and take a small margin off the profits. Perhaps I'll write out the entire specs of how the envisioned system will work and it'll make more sense?  Wink
14  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [SUGGESTION] "Reseller" Bitcoin Pools? on: June 29, 2011, 04:20:13 AM
Assuming both the service host and the pool host only give 1%, this could be beneficial for local pools, clan pools, etc...
I would join the pool myself if I could either have one for my bitcoin friends or just one to manage in general.
2% isn't a large amount and even if it was shrunk smaller, it would still be a nice idea to attempt.
With proper APIs, server information and the etcetera, someone could easily improve and customize a website for their pool and keep the pool healthy and busy.
You just gotta have enough smarts to do it, hehe...

In fact, the project could go as a large pool with separate "outlets" in which users join.
That means Pool Site A has 352 users, Pool Site B has 128 users, Pool Site C has 412 users, but the service host's pool as a total of 892 users. (A + B +C)
This could benefit both the pool operators and the service operator, and it will well over-run regular pools because some people are zealots for administrators of things like pools. I, for one, am a zealot of a leader.  Wink
15  Bitcoin / Project Development / [SUGGESTION] "Reseller" Bitcoin Pools? on: June 29, 2011, 04:08:53 AM
Okay, so I just hatched an idea that I think might be good...
It would require one or more VPS' and has potential to definitely draw a crowd.
"Reseller" Bitcoin Pools.
Basically a main site runs the VPS' and offers a service for others to start a Bitcoin pool of their own through the service. That service might charge 1-2% per client per pool but in return that's actually a lot with multiple pools. Smiley
The pool operators could then charge another 1-2% on top of that for the service and they'd make money and thus incentive to run and advertise their pool.
Lemme know what you guys think, and if someone plans on making this... I call first dibs, I'm an old beta tester with some good experience and would love to start me up a pool. Wink

Okay, have fun sharing your thoughts and opinions! Grin

It's like building a car with 2x4's and plywood, way easier to get something up and running, but the chicks are still going to jump in with the guy driving the shiny metal one.

Never have I heard such an epic analogy... Congrats, that's officially epic! xD
17  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Just wondering.. Is it possible to make a bitcoin bank in Bash? on: June 28, 2011, 04:20:52 PM
Okay, so apparently on this server I don't have access to script execution (why? idk) so I can't use this server but I'll look into getting a new server for it.. lol
18  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Just wondering.. Is it possible to make a bitcoin bank in Bash? on: June 28, 2011, 03:59:19 PM
Awesome!  Cheesy
And btw, your avatar image is totally epic... Bits really do love hashes...  Shocked
19  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Just wondering.. Is it possible to make a bitcoin bank in Bash? on: June 28, 2011, 04:13:49 AM
And I'll summarize also...  Huh
If you could look into a basic wallet/user system with a basic post webpage, I can work it from there.
I'm really good with html, css, I can wrk javascript and php fairly well... I just don't know crap about bash or making the system part work ^^'
20  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Just wondering.. Is it possible to make a bitcoin bank in Bash? on: June 28, 2011, 04:12:05 AM
I'm a Windows user since I was a little kid and I just got access to a full unix account, ftp, bash, etc...
I can't write or set up code for crap but once I see it, I can easily manipulate it...
If I could get a wallet site working, I could look into ways to improve it, but I wouldn't know where to start at all with making one... And saddly I'll be flying to ohio for 4th of july weekend, on wednesday (the day after tomorrow) so I can't do much until I at least get there...
If you could help with anything, I'd appreciate it. I also have a friend that could "help" with is but he's to lazy to help start it at all... Thanks in advance for any assistance too, maybe I'll have a donation fund and if I get any donations, send you em along with anything I can muster up...  Cheesy
