I was wondering,

since all the transactions in Bitcoin network are broadcasted to the network, we know where the stolen money goes, right?
so we can easily track transactions going out and in to those Bitcoin addresses. Wouldn't it be possible for exchange sites to block those addresses so that they can't convert BTCs to USD/EUR etc...?

I'm using the patched bitcoind from http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/ubuntu-i686-patched/ (packaged by the forum member Matt Corallo). but when I try to get a block data

./bitcoind -datadir=/home/almbfsek/.bitcoin/ getblockbycount 11111

I get an error stating that the command does not exist

error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}

what am I doing wrong?

thank you

hello guys,

I have an SSH tunnel that I use as a SOCKS proxy for my web browser. I would also like to use it with mining softwares.
is it even possible? I thought since miners use HTTP protocol it should be possible.
if so, which 3rd party application can I use in order to route the miner's connection through the proxy? or may be the miner's code should be modified?

thank you in advance
