1  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Tradehill's Jered Kenna like a Lannister? on: May 22, 2013, 08:20:43 PM
Jered once was the owner of Mtgox. Some money vanished..
Unfortunately, MiniTrue did some work here and details are hard to find.

Then he ran TradeHill - some money vanished..

Do you see a patern?

I wonder what he's doing now. I heard about this company Ripple Smiley

51BTC...

You should ask Jered what happened to 45kBTC which vanished from Mtgox

Not being able to put a normal sentence together on a national television while wearing a hoodie - yea, that's the way to go!?


"Ad hominen" and "responding to tone", which are the second and third weakest forms of disagreement (right above name-calling) and contain no merit. Do you have any actual arguments?

The argument here is very simple.
In the UK press(especially Guardian) convinced everybody this homeless guy invented bitcoin. And he is on TV speaking about drugs and guns.
Sure this appeals to a lot of people

Maybe the one dressing up in tie and promoting bitcoin because of 'cheaper transaction costs' is being used as a clown?


So when you hear/watch interviews by John https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xKaeS1iLec, Jeff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhj1zeisqWY, Trace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfknveaWQ_4, Gavin or any other balanced individual you must be thinking - all these douche-bags explaining bitcoin to general population in a calm and simple way - it's PR nightmare. We will never get our message across?

And when you see this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3q-zWEcTg0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQPBVOwLKcM // it's cause he'z got skilzz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwNfBgwbqng
what thoughts cross your mind? Oh, this guy is doing a great job. Not being able to put a normal sentence together on a national television while wearing a hoodie - yea, that's the way to go!?

I'm speechless. It's like 2010 all over again when all the loonies started joining the forum

I think he did a very good job. He looks like an anarchist, talks passionately, trashes police and promotes the underground economy. A rebel and that is exactly what bitcoin is. Thanks Taaki for spreading the message.

You know where this is going to end? Squatting is illegal in the UK. Eventually police will come round, arrest him. He will be spouting about freedom and injustice incoherently like he is now and it will be shown to the whole world - "This is your future if you get into bitcoin". It will scare the majority and slow down the adoption.
He and you probably don't realize it, but he is being used like a clown to discredit bitcoin.
It's clear some bad thing happened to him and he likes attention, but he has to realize that the little world he lives in is not the world most people live in.
Anarchist and libertarians already got the message - they are already on board. It's time to step back and let the diplomatic people do the talking.
Amir, if you reading this, please take some time off, get a perspective. You are a talented guy, stop wasting your time being used by the media. You were developing bitcoin, Intersango.. WTF happened?
I know that I'm just a random guy on the internet, who is saying something that you probably don't even want to admit to yourself, but talk to your friends, people you trust. If they are your good friends, they will have the courage to tell you the truth.

Firstly, there is no SHA58
Secondly, SHA family is crypto hash functions
Bitcoin uses ECDSA to sign tx's

If OP decides to add "friendly" list:

I used Lloyds TSB in UK to do multiple transfers to mtgox.
Usually takes 3-4 working days.

As a side note - there is something very dodgy with Lloyds TSB fee calculation.

Transfer itself costs £20. On top of that you get charged <£10 at the other end.
The dodgy part is that sometimes they add ~£100 charge(this depends on the size of tx) - happened on 2 out of 5 transfers.

May I suggest compiling a list of "friendly" banks along side?

I was always under the impression that wallet.dat stored private keys and blockchain was where the tx log resided

wallet.dat also stores the transactions that your wallet sent which haven't yet made it into the blockchain.

Learning something new everyday. I think this must be a new feature.
Last client I used was 0.3.14.

This is going to be interesting to catch up with all the development

Hey gweedo,

I thought --rescan just re-reads the blockchain with respect to the current block and sendrawtransaction $(getrawtransaction $TXID) is what can be used to re-broadcast the tx?

Hi,

This is a bit strange, but most likely tx's just didn't get broadcasted to the network.

bitcoin-qt rebroadcasts it once in awhile, so I'd leave it running.

You could also have a look in the debug.log in the data directory. The location will depend on operating system
