1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / TONS of addresses, one bitcoin client? on: September 27, 2013, 05:59:56 AM
Should I be concerned about my bitcoin client growing overly large because of generating 1-1000 addresses each day? (as a service, not personally)
How does coinbase or any other online cryptocurrency deal with an overgrowth of bitcoin addresses they have in their programs?
2  Economy / Service Discussion / Coinbase callbacks not sending! on: August 25, 2013, 06:40:21 AM
The address callbacks set on addresses is not sending. I've tried creating a new address with callback url, and visited that url, and it registered, but then I sent a small amount to that address and it did not fire. What gives?
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Does walletnotify notify of transactions that happened while the client was off? on: August 20, 2013, 08:21:43 PM
Like say I turned off bitcoin-qt for half a day, and I get 1 transaction to my address in that period. Will, on start up, fire the walletnotify script with the hash of said transaction?
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / just a crazy idea: inverse coin on: August 17, 2013, 11:10:44 PM
Mining may be a bit of problem with this idea, but right now I'm just trying to figure out major flaws. This is a really weird concept but here I go:

Imagine a crypto currency where everyone owns the maximum amount of coins (22 million in bitcoins case) and having more than 22 million should be impossible, and having wealth is simply having 22 million minus x. Why have this backward ass system? Think about how transactions would work in this system, for Alice to pay Bob, Alice has to accept coins from Bob. The direction the coins move is opposite of that of bitcoin. Thus instead of the person who is sending wealth being able to be an attacker, the receiver becomes the possible attacker, but why would he sabotage receiving wealth?

There are hurdles that I can clearly see, like mining and how to prevent anyone having more than 22 million, but is my idea sound?
5  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Ditch the chain? on: August 15, 2013, 12:14:52 AM
Why not nodes just keep track of of bitcoins and where they are? Like so:

Alice wants to send Bob 1 btc she does so and alerts a fair amount of nodes that she did this. The nodes then collectively agree that bitcoin#1251262613616 is now under the control of whatever address alice sent to. Sort of like a database with two columns, a unique ID column, and a proof of ownership column. Mining can still be a chain, but it would be much simpler considering that each block now doesn't have to store transactions. With this system, mining now is piece of cake, no need to process transactions, no need for large block chain. Transactions are as instant as the propagation on them.

Pardon me if I have something wrong technically, I'm beginning to understand how bitcoin functions cryptographically.
6  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Is there a better way to get notified of receives with bitcoind? on: August 08, 2013, 01:07:51 AM
My current method is to just poll bitcoind API for a new transaction. I feel like this isn't the right way.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Mystery blockchain.info json-rpc error? on: July 02, 2013, 05:06:18 PM
I get this SOMETIMES when trying run the command "listTransactions":
'code' => "-32603"
As I understand it, that's an internal error (according to default json-rpc error codes). And it seems to happen at random times for brief moments. Like for example, Yesterday it returned me that error on listTransactions request between 8pm and 12pm, then it started actually processing requests, then it came back into giving me errors. WTF? Anyone else having trouble with their unstable json-rpc api?
8  Economy / Games and rounds / The Wonderous Torba Table Poker Tourney! (free chips) on: June 25, 2013, 05:40:24 AM


I'm hoping to host a Hold'em poker game mostly for fun, maybe find out who the good poker players are on this forum Smiley
So here it is, the late night (for US at least) Torba Table Tourney, where there is really no risk and lots of fun (outrageous betting etc) at No more, deadline passed

1000 chips free on register provided, buy in is 200. If you win, it goes into your overall balance which should put you pretty high up on leaderboards, where high positions on leaderboards get actual btc (.5 for first, .3 for second, .2, .1 , .05).

The poker site: http://bitspoker.com/

This is an experiment of some hopefully really casual play, tell me if you are in via reply.
9  Economy / Speculation / just another day at the gox on: June 25, 2013, 04:19:46 AM
In past 3 hours
High: $109.96
Low: $100

Opening: ~$102
Closing: $105


This is what an earthquake looks like when graphed.
10  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Blockchain overgrowth: A catastrophe waiting to happen on: June 19, 2013, 12:52:06 AM
Imagine in 10-50 years, when there are beyond billions of transactions monthly, the amount of resources a bitcoin blockchain takes up will be so out of control that only large data centers can support it. And whoever has enough money and resources to be able to service the entire blockchain has in essence centralized a decent chunk of bitcoin, and I'm assuming that there would only be at the most 10 block chains in existent if it's that out of control. It's pretty likely bitcoin will grow faster than moore's law.

So how will this impending centralization be stopped?
11  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / What exactly is the reason bitcoin processes transactions so slowly? on: June 17, 2013, 04:15:31 AM
Slowly as in not comparable to say the transaction speeds you can accomplish with a credit card.
I've been searching for answer to this. Is there a specific component like network propagation that severely effects processing time?
12  Economy / Speculation / A stable bitcoin means this: on: June 15, 2013, 09:42:10 PM
So I've noticed bitcoin has been experiencing "straights of no change" in where it's price stays within $5 of what it was a week ago (barring pesky manipulators). So lets hope:
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Minimum spec vps to support bitcoind? on: June 13, 2013, 05:52:51 AM
I need a wallet for a service I'm helping to put together. Will a 512mb vps support bitcoind? (with 15 gb's of storage).
14  Economy / Service Discussion / Bitstamp gave me twice as much bitcoins on: May 27, 2013, 01:36:05 AM
I withdrawed .37 and they sent me .74, I sent a support ticket notifying them of this (to be nice and all) and they are asking me to return the amount.
Should I? (I did notify them of the bug instead of never mentioning this again)
15  Bitcoin / Project Development / Afford The Lamborghinis! on: May 25, 2013, 06:51:48 AM
(I bet that title got you in here)

But in light of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213698.0
I've put together a website that shows IF you can afford the Lamborghini Gallardo with 1 BTC and just how many Lamborghinis you can afford with said coin. Also open source and on github.

16  Economy / Services / [WTS] iOS Developer on: May 09, 2013, 03:38:01 AM
I have about 2 years experience in making iOS apps, I can do every step in the process of getting an app to the itunes app store and I've had two apps on the app store. I've got tons of experience with game making, networking, and design.

My work:

My most recent made app, a pin ball like physics game (currently being submitted to app store)



my WIP trucking game app, everything besides the truck sprites are dynamically drawn, trucks use shortest distance alogrithm.



Menu of a previous project, the app also has backgrounds according to the user's locations's weather (if its raining, it rains in-app),
on the menu, random colored planets orbit.



One of my first apps, used U.S. Census data to randomly get names



Payment:
I'll quote you how much in total your project will cost. Half will be expected as soon as we move into actual app developing, will be submittable to app store upon being payed in full.
17  Economy / Speculation / Is there going to be a weekend dip? on: May 04, 2013, 04:58:47 PM
The price is currently in a fast rise, and that usually spells trouble.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Question about this chart on: May 03, 2013, 11:18:41 PM

I think this chart shows buy/sell orders right?
If it does, how come putting down a buy order below current price means an almost instant buy? How is this graph getting people's plans?
19  Economy / Speculation / bitcoin is going to bounce up this week on: May 02, 2013, 01:05:27 AM
It's low right now, and if we look at what happened a few weeks ago when it touched $55 from being stable around $100-$130 that should indicate what's happening now.
20  Other / Beginners & Help / Relation between volume and price? on: April 24, 2013, 10:28:07 PM
Is there a relation? Does high volume often indicate that bitcoin will change it's price more drastically?
