11  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / network hardening or other ways to prevent forks in a war scenario on: March 18, 2014, 12:18:40 PM
What ideas could be relevant?

Trusted nodes in bunkers? An implementation in the client that warns that no "heart beat" has been heard from one of the trusted nodes in 30 minutes, so transactions are discouraged because of a possible fork?

Is obfuscation maybe a better way? A minimum client that can be hid headless only to support the network or maybe a virus that installs as many wallets as possible?

Maybe this will sort itself out as the stakes get higher, But will bitcoin work between fighting nations, tht's the ultimate network of distrust?
12  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Gox stash recoverable by wallet update? on: February 28, 2014, 07:17:50 PM
Me being oblivious to much of the inner workings of the Bitcoin protocol, someone else suggested that doing a "hard wired" transfer of the contents of the wallets being locked up in Gox should be possible through a wallet update if it reaches a 51% consensus amongst miners.

This is a technical subforum, so my question is not about short-circuiting the legal system or debating if this is a purist libaritarian thing to do.

Long term this will show resilience amongst Bitcoiner's as a self governing community, and in some way comparable to correction on the hard fork a while back, where consensus was reached quickly and an update was implemented to bring the network back in sync.

Short term speculators that think this will have a negative effect on price, think again. If we get a reputation as a democratic consensus driven payment system also, more will trust Bitcoin, and that will have a positive effect on price. Think of it like the dye bomb system implemented in banks.

In effect the consensus principle would act as a global Bitcoin banking authority in cases like that.

The wallets in question would be announced beforehand and anyone claiming ownership other than the curators would have a possibility to protest the suggestion.

So my question,: Is it possible to delete a known wallet and make it's balance appear in a new one with not lost keys (under the pretence that coins locked out in Gox are proper identified)?

Has the Foundation taken a position on that question, to anyone’s knowledge?

14  Other / Off-topic / Identify flag? on: October 07, 2013, 07:51:51 AM
Pulled out a Stars and Stripes from a bin at the local community trash collection point last week.

The strange thing is that the colours are reversed: The union is red and the stripes are blue??
It's not some magician requisite, it's good woven stitched nylon quality with real staff fasteners, 4x6'.

Is it a political protest flag, "tea party" or leftist?

Is it for ex-patriots so they can something that reminds them of home on the front lawn without braking any local laws about using other nations flags?

Goggle is no help to me..

An open source currency needs an open forum for every kind of Bitcoin related info.  Messy yes, how can it bee any other way?

Nice guide on making ends meet with food stamps, Bitcoins, outdoor power outlets and free wifi.

The comments are varied and diverse also debating the complete history of money!

Popped up as a sponsored search result on Goggle.

Put in my credentials, thank god it didn't ask for a Yubikey.

So if you don't have a Yubikey you are screwed if you fall for this!

18  Economy / Economics / Why don't we just trade here on the forum? on: April 11, 2013, 07:03:17 PM
Plenty of people either wanting to sell or buy?

Edit: stupid suggestion, that would fast turn into a mess trading on word of mouth only, sorry!!
19  Economy / Economics / So the Chinese are joining the currency war? on: April 10, 2013, 05:12:53 AM
Just off BBC World: China and Australia have agreed to exchange AUD and Yuan directly without using the USD as exchange currency! This makes a lot of sense to the Aussies, however, this also makes Chinese money more liquid i.e. has the same effect, as if they ramped up the money press. This is maybe a smart move by the Australians as AUD now gets more backing.

This week in the currency war: Japan announces that they are printing more money, The US follows they day after, today China, so we are waiting that the Euro central bank announces the same thing today? The ECB is running out of choices fast!!

When does the backers of the ECB decide that it's backing gold no longer is the property of the Euro? Will it sudently become German, French, Spanish gold?
20  Economy / Economics / FB Phone, Anyone looked at their sources? on: April 04, 2013, 08:11:50 PM
Face Book just announced Android phone looks nice, but there wasn't much info specs other than their invention of the personalized "Home Screen".

Being a Droid phone, Do anybody know if there is some source code or other bit 'n' pieces on Github or elsewhere?

what we are looking are implementation of Bitcoin in any way. Could be a currency app with a ticker for BTC, a mobile wallet, QR code address reader or maybe just some API for handling BTC for other software?

If they have fooled around with the idea of implementing Bitcoin, while developing the Phone, traces will exist around the net in source snippets, that is if they are adhering to their open source obligations.
