I could try and pick apart the  specification but it would be time consuming. Is it possible for the address to be shortened under 111?

I'm working under the assumption they are always length 111. Is this a safe assumption?

I'm working on a project where this info would be useful.  I'm not sure about a price until it is known how much data you have. I want it for something besides BTC.  Preferably a site like Cryptsy or Poloniex but any site with a decent amount of buy/sell data.

I have an academic exercise where I wish to group a number of addresses to a certain wallet.  I have some transactions with multiple inputs.  From there I want to find all the addresses that are shared as inputs on outputs.  From here I assume I could gather a list of known addresses.

I know blockchain.info does this, but I want actual source code so I can change parameters etc.

Has anyone heard of such a thing.

I have an interest in finding all the addresses controlled by one entity.  What is the best software to do this through interacting with a wallet ?

For the source I have a list of several transactions that were large and had multiple inputs.

Then the software should take those inputs and find what other inputs were shared in transactions.  This process is repeated until there are no more shared inputs.

Does this make sense?  Does anyone know what would be some easy software to use to accomplish this?

So I have this video card and the fan started clicking and losing RPMs.  The card ran too hot so I took it out of my miner and decide to look into replacing the fan via RMA.  After looking into the process, I have the following concerns.

So once I get an RMA #, it appears that I will receive a different card.  The problem is that unless the warranty card I receive also had a fan problem, I am likely to be stuck with a card that may have some other intermittent issue.  All manufacturers send back refurbs but often refurbs have some small defect that the manufacturer chooses to ignore.  In electronics such defects can be critical.  In addition I pay shipping.

So this leaves me stuck trying to decide... Do I take my chances on an RMA + pay shipping or do I order a fan myself ?  Does anyone have a good suggestion on a source for the fan?  I think I will end up reselling this card on Ebay shortly, or perhaps keeping it for myself.  

PS.  How do I make a voting poll on this site?  

I was toying around with the idea of writing yet another coin.  I had a couple of ideas rolling around in my head, one being that the block size is dependent on the uniqueness (for lack of better word) of the originating IP address.  So if you find a block in Amazon cloud, it will be diluted with fewer coins because presumably a lot of other blocks have been found in the corresponding address space.  It would do this by reading a long list of previous IP addresses in the blockchain to calculate a factor.  Since this would depend on the blockchain, I assume it could be enforced algorithmically in code.

This approach has a ton of problems, the biggest one being that the ip4 address space is large and very incongruous.  People have 256 IP blocks all over the place now, so the approach would not work without taking in a large history of originating IPs.  (Not to mention I was not able to come up with a way to insure the originating IP addresses are correct, except by having the network check directly with that IP address..)  I could add DNS records to the algorthm, but that is so easily worked around.

The above approach could work on a theoretical level, except that it would be an invitation for botnets.  We store the miner IP in our blockchain, so we can go back however far to determine locality/incongruity. So we hurt cloud computing, but invite botnets. The one upside is that most home systems are firewalled, so the originating IP verification process would fail when portions of the network try to connect to the host that just mined a block.  Really though, it seems near impossible to make a coin that could not be run over by throwing more resources at it. 

I think having a coin mined by a wider group of people would help greatly with adoption.  A more egalitarian coin. Thoughts ?

I would also like the block to be "claimed" and then reserve a window for the transaction portion to be filled.  This eliminates the orphaned/stale problems we see.  THat 50k/s outbound so many American's (and others?) are stuck with would not be near the problem if a simple packet to claim the block was initially sent on block discovery.  Then the transactions are routed directly to the IP addr and it fills out the block during the allotted window.  Once filled, it propagates the block across the network.

Are there coins that implement anything like this ?  Thoughts ?  I started thinking about it then thought about all the DOS type attacks and so forth.  If you want to use my ideas, please just leave me a message so I can follow your progress/coin.
