If you're interested in legal loopholes...then here's something to think about : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234731.0

Don't just read the thread. Read the paper! Come to your own conclusions.

I was wondering if there's any way to remotely link to an Electrum client. I know that you can do this with bitcoind/bitcoin-qt through JSON-RPC, but as far as I can tell there's no way to accomplish this with Electrum. Does anyone here know of any solutions to this? Would I have to host my own Electrum server?

Have there been any advances lately? It's a really awesome project and I hope it reaches a stable release sometime soon. Great work jgarzik!

I don't know why I didn't think of this...thank you

I recently set up Electrum on a Raspberry Pi for a development project that I'm working on. I was wondering if any of you could spare a satoshi or two to help me test it out?

I would greatly appreciate the help. I would use my own Bitcoins, but I'm at work right now, and I don't use cloud wallets, so all my coins are at home.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post something like this.

Thank you Mike. I was just working on a project using bitcoin-php. Keep up the good work! Also....Free Bradley!

Does anyone know the status of picocoin? I can't wait for a stable version. It would help my project immensely.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier...

Thank you jgarzik, I really appreciate the help. You can probably already tell I'm new to the nitty gritty of the protocol. I have another question, so I hope you'll bear with me.  So if I symlink to the cloud drive, bootstrap.dat would update dynamically, right? Also, could the clients on the Pi act as the immediate nodes which it links to?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but can the client (bitcoind) run through remote interface with bootstrap.dat or does it require being in the bitcoin directory on the client's machine?

I want to host the blockchain (bootstrap.dat) on the cloud and then point Raspberry Pi's (i.e. their bitcoin clients) to it. Can anyone help me out with this? Is this even possible?

I want to host the blockchain on a cloud server and then point about 50 raspberry pi's to it. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a more thorough console documentation anywhere? Or is the existing documentation as thorough as it gets?

I don't think their regulation has anything to do with their concern over Bitcoin as a money laundering tool. As you said, billions of USD are laundered every year using their very own fiat. I think this has more to do with the perceived threat to their systems of finance and debt money. The IMF (US puppet organization) basically owns a large portion of the earth through their issuance of loans to needy countries in return for access to their basic societal and government systems (revamping education systems to be in line with US backed corporate for-profit institutions like CollegeBoard, energy contracts, military organizations, etc...). This is just one example of how the United States exerts its influence through its currency. I'm not even going to go into the Central Banking system as I'm sure we're all relatively familiar with that nightmare.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I'm having trouble going to sleep because I can't step away from the protocol. It's so incredibly air tight, and the possibilities are truly amazing. I'm working on a project that's going to be using it extensively.

I fully appreciate that. I think the key point to take away from this is that you can't successfully tax or regulate a concept. I'm sure you can try (war on terror/poverty/etc...). Could you tax/regulate happiness or anger? How about forgiveness or greed? If not, then why do you think governments can regulate memory? Do they tax or regulate other forms of computer based memory? How's that working out for them? (think mp3/movies/applications)

The Iraqi people lived with a decade of British and American terrorism. Over a million Iraqi's died, and their country has been completely torn apart. Why can't we call that what it is? Terror.

By far the easiest way I've found (and the cheapest), is to sell them to friends. A lot of people want Bitcoins, but don't know how or where to get them, or they're too lazy to go through with it.

From what I gather it doesn't seem like there's very much innovation here. Maybe this is my ignorance speaking, but nothing in the forum tells me that there's any substantive advancement within eMunie.


so.....any other hashing algorithm advances I should know about? maybe some that are actually legitimately new and of some distinct quality?

We exterminated all the peoples who lived in anarchic societies and burned all their historical records. We are the product of millenia worth of war and conquest. In this sense we are at the end of history. That doesn't mean it never happened. It means that the people who wrote the history books weren't a part of those societies. This should be obvious seeing as any anarchic society would not be equipped or prepared to defend itself against those societies who's fundamentals were established through violence, paternalistic hierarchy, and complete disregard for human life.
