Thanks Danny!!!!!!!!!

Excellent! Thank you very much for the prompt reply.

Hello

This is in reference to this address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1fMDuZm16nWzjzfwC6ynC99Vq4MMYtXuF

What is that -0.017795 in the red button?

Thanks for anything that can help me understand what that is.

 I don't believe Ross is being accused of any of those crimes that you so blithely toss in to further confuse the issue.

According to FreeRoss.org, "The murder-for-hire allegation is now an “uncharged crime,” which does not require proof. It is mentioned in the narcotics trafficking conspiracy section of the indictment.  It is NOT a formal charge."

He has not been accused of rape. He has not been accused of stealing. He has not been accused of cheating (I don't think that's a crime).

I encourage everyone to take a look at this:

It would be a shame if the Bitcoin community lets this guy get thrown under the bus in its desire for "legitimacy" and speculative profit.

Personally, I'm really starting to question what behaviors are considered criminal in the USA. Nothing strikes me as more stupid than marijuana prohibition and it seems really wrong to prosecute people stupidly.

I am having the same problem that was originally posted here -- getting an incorrect false return on verifymessage().


$address = '1B8QAtcpBkL3jtfeMvfLiz8hnPi2U1KCyf';
$signature = 'HP1aJ5Pnx9WMrFOl9U76u5ZMkjnhqW+cxcIqAnGg1f6JhKX0jKChZnV94ewXnBNb0wA+3sIJdtszALPw8EbcXOc=';
$message = 'test';

$rpc->verifymessage($address, $signature, $message);

this returns
bool(false)

I'm using the api described here:
https://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api

Method: verifymessage
Parameters: (String bitcoinaddress, String signature, String message)
Description: Verifies the signature and message matches the bitcoin address provided (See signmessage)
Returns: Boolean

I'm just curious, did this problem get solved and was the bounty paid?

Nevermind -- I just noticed the language option (dropdown flags in upper right corner) -- maybe I accidentally hit something.

Weird -- blockchain.info is showing up in Firefox in Spanish or Portugese. But in IE it's in English.

"Explorador de Blocos Bitcoin - Blockchain.info"

Am I the only one?

feature or bug?

Hello all -- I'm working on setting up Coinbase merchant tools, specifically a payment page, and I have also been messing around with the Coinbase API. I'm currently using the API to update exchange rates on my site.

Right now I'm working on my Instant Payment Notification (IPN) page, written in PHP. I have some questions and perhaps some suggestions, but I'm net getting a response from Coinbase support.

Any others here working with the Coinbase merchant tools and API? I would like to get in touch with other users for mutual support.

In Armory, click on Send Bitcoins, then select a wallet, then click on "Donate to Armory Developers"

I found the answer to most of my questions here:

https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/troubleshooting/

My only remaining questions is:

When I cleared unconfirmed transactions (the 0.191 transaction was cleared), does that mean than the unconfirmed transaction is cleared also from the bitcoin network (cleared from miners queue)?

When I searched for the tx id on blockchain.info a few days ago, I got no results, which I take to mean that the transaction never got broadcast, nor did the transaction get subsequently broadcast on restarts of Armory. From what I can gather, this sounds like an issue between Armory and QT.

Perhaps I'll try the exact same transaction again and see what happens.

Thanks!

Last week I created a 0.191 btc transaction with 0 tx fee -- moving btc from one wallet to another -- and the transaction never posted to the blockchain -- 0 confirms.

Today I downloaded and installed version .9, and I was looking through the menu options and a saw "Clear All Unconfirmed", so I clicked on it and got the message that unconfirmed messages would be cleared and I can retry "stuck" transactions.

My understanding is that the transaction would have been posted to the bitcoin network and gone into some miners queue to eventually be added to the blockchain, and that because of the 0 tx fee, it may take some time (as long as five days, from what I could ascertain from the forums).

Here are my questions, stemming from my imperfect knowledge of the bitcoin protocol and operation of wallets:

What is a "stuck" transaction and how does a transaction get "stuck"?

Where is a transaction "stuck"? In the wallet? Does a "stuck" transaction get transmitted to the bitcoin network?

Is it possible that my 0.191 transaction is still sitting in miners queue, and may yet get added to the blockchain (it is more than seven days now)?

When I cleared unconfirmed transactions (the 0.191 transaction was cleared), does that mean than the unconfirmed transaction is cleared also from the bitcoin network (cleared from miners queue)?

I would be interested in seeing a thoughtful discussion about this.

Every central bank in the world could declare bitcoin illegal, which just means that bitcoin becomes an underground currency. That would be a bummer for everyone trying to do legitimate business in bitcoin but by no means threatens the existence of bitcoin.

I suppose that countries that put a lot of effort into foreign currency control will be likely to hate bitcoin. Is this true of Thailand? Do they have strict controls on foreign currency exchange?

This is a great idea, and I would like to offer the MyMindshare platform as a vehicle for this research.

A surveying system is built into the platform, and the platform addresses many of the issues you will be confronting -- data integrity, user identity, etc.

I am the developer of MyMindshare and I can easily adapt it to your needs.

Hello

Would any hero members of bitcointalk like to join an advisory board for a bitcoin startup? I need advice and guidance to get MyMindshare adopted by the bitcoin community. MyMindshare is a commercial messaging service denominated in bitcoin -- think of it as Twitter with an eBay business model.

The platform is up and running, but of course is in continuous development and improvement.

I am glad to answer any questions and welcome any feedback. If you would like to join the advisory board, I am open to discussions about participation, incentives, and compensation.

I am weakest in the area of sales/marketing/promotion, so I'm not very good at selling the idea. I much prefer solving problems in code, rather than solving problems of communication or social interaction/networking.

I think you need to be a little bit forward thinking to understand MyMindshare. Sort of like the early stage of Twitter, which made no sense until a lot of people were using it. Similarly, MyMindshare is dependent to some degree on network effects to really appreciate the value it creates.

Here is a video that I made that explains the fundamental principles that have driven the development of MyMindshare:

http://youtu.be/5EJGF7hddc8

It is a crude video presentation and you really have to watch the whole thing to get it. Like I said, I am not slick at making presentations, but the principles are sound.

If you are a hero member and this sounds interesting, please feel free to contact me.

Right now it is hypothetical. I am working on an idea for creating an invitation-only club of people with 1kBTC.

More specifically, it is a message composer, but it does not transmit the message. Note in my example the components of the message (btc address, message, signature) had to be emailed to me.


You have to select/enter the address yourself.


This is a good question, and I don't know the answer -- little help from someone with more expertise?


The answer to this question depends on how the message is transmitted, but it should be assumed that anybody can/will see the message, which is why it is recommended that the content of the message contain the specific details of the context of the message, e.g. "This message sent on this date to so-and-so is for this purpose..." This will prevent the message from being hijacked for other purposes.
