I am STILL waiting for weexchange to credit my account after depositing funds there via Ripple (can be proven with public records...). This is a joke, seriously!
Every time I check for the transaction hash, the website goes down with a cloudflare error and it seems to find nothing on their internal rippled (the ones at s1.ripple.com see the transaction just fine). The ticket that is open for over 3 months now also is idling around without any answer at all. I would understand that you need a weekend or so to sort out transactions and manually credit accounts... but MONTHS?! It's not like you receive thousands of transactions per day after all.

Ich hätte Interesse, aktuell würde ich max. 1 BTC dafür zahlen. In Ripple selbst kriegt man die Dinger aber eh viel leichter los, wieso der Verkauf über das Forum?

Ich verstehe noch immer nicht genau, wieso Leute unbedingt minen müssen, sobald sie von Bitcoin hören - ~7500 USD kaufen bei Bitstamp genau jetzt ~75 BTC. Mit mining wird man das, selbst wenn man den Miner sofort geliefert bekommt, SEHR schwer in seiner Lebenszeit erreichen. Mit 70 Tagen ist da gar nichts. Viel Erfolg beim Stornieren...  |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263933.msg2820580#msg2820580: Kosten für Minerhosting = 28ct/kWh + 10€/Monat (S)Ca(m)ndoo Projekt übernommen: 27 ct/kWh + 3% der erzeugten BTC (bzw. die Miningleistung von insg. 25,2 GH/s im aktuell vorgesehenen Vollausbau) + vermutlich alles, was über 1 GH/s pro Anteil hinausgeht, da ja nur 1 GH/s garantiert wird. Ich find's ja ganz nett, wenn jemand gerne mit Wasserkühlungen rumspielt, wie es Salazarian offenbar gerne macht und sich damit eventuell sogar mal den Unterhalt finanzieren will - aber alleine wenn ich den Vertrag sehe, der vor Rechtschreibfehlern nur so strotzt kommt mir das kalte Grausen. Ich würde stark empfehlen, die Frist 1. länger anzusetzen und 2. nur diejenigen Anteile NICHT zurückzukaufen, die explizit dabei bleiben wollen. Ich habe zum Glück diesem ganzen Treiben hier im deutschen Forum großteils nur von der Seite zugesehen und bisher war's auch recht gut so (Mybitcointrade, die "Sparbücher" von Ziggystar, jetzt die Aktion hier von Candoo mal wieder...). Schade eigentlich.

Was für Kurse bietest du an? Günstiger als xrp/btc:bitstamp?
Generell ist es meist einfacher auf ripple direkt zu handeln...

i randomly received .15 btc yesterday to one of my android generated addresses. Why would I randomly get free money? this never happened to me before, is this related to the flaw?
Most likely not, either someone wanted to give a present to you or something else happened. It is not very likely that you would get MORE funds through this issue!  |

Well what do you expect? The minimum I always pay is 0.0006 or 0.0005 on the -Qt client. Non-fee transactions usually means hours to days waiting for confirmations.
I wouldn't mind actually waiting some time if that meant my transaction was free. I didn't want or plan to transfer these funds in the first place and I don't mind them being stuck for some time in limbo. Once the TX is out there, it would be hard to double spend it anyways. I cant find any wallet other than bitcoin-qt that lets you put a 0.00 tx fee. Surprising to see people in here wondering about fees. it's a penny. Go sell something on PayPal and tell me about fees.
Schildbach allowed this (0 fees) too some time ago so I consider it a regression. If I use PayPal, I pay for a service that goes beyond simple money transfer (I get fraud protection etc.). I second this. While mining with deepbit, their tx fees are not included. One payment sat for almost 4 days before being picked up by eligius pool. Just send the penny.
This is just stupidity on deepbit's end - they could always include their payouts for free in their own blocks and I suggested something like that (pools accepting each other's payouts for free) long time ago. Back then it was anyways easy to get anything transacted for free, so they never went forward with it. I don't want to pay a whole penny for a few bytes of storage that will be pruned away sooner or later anyways. Fees have to be attached due to a strange quirk of bitcoind mining code - it only allocates 27kb per block for free transactions. There's no obvious reason that should be the case and I'm sure it'll get fixed at some point. Even a penny is a high fee to pay, IMO.
The wallet used to have a setting that let me set fees to 0 on my own risk. This setting seems to be gone... Anyways, fee handling and transaction priorization is a big mess in my opinion still in Bitcoin, especially in the reference client that everyone seems to use unreflected without even thinking about the settings. About receiving coins at the same address: In the end it means that you potentially loose privacy (e.g. the free bitcoins site could link your IP to your address, then you sell a obile phone on the web and let them pay to the same address - now the free bitcoin site can see that you received some more coins + the buyer of the phone sees that you probably used this site). Security wise it means that once you send something from your address, you expose the public key belonging to that address. In this case, the signature generated with it is weakening security - there is also the possibility of a breach of ECDSA keys in general. As long as nothing has been transfered off an address, it is as safe as possible from a current security standpoint. |

Riddle # 1
- Nothing is c3rtain but Death and That.
- There are two of them to any question.
- Bob of all trades, master of none. (*)
- Never listen to those three advisors - The night, Love and... And... Errr...
- Two of those are better than one.
(*) Money does not do that on trees. - Taxes (or tax3s? Maybe the 3 means it needs to go in the 3rd place?) - Sides - It is actually "Jack of all trades", and money does not grow on trees - so Jack/grow + a connection to the number one... - ? - Heads Jack, Sides, Taxes, Heads, grow - that all sounds quite a bit like gambling to me --> could be evorhees for example. If this helps, feel free to donate a few cents to Wikipedia (via BitPay) on my behalf... |

Annoyingly the Schildbach wallet seems to now enforce(!) a 0.0001 BTC default fee!  Well, these issues aside - thanks for informing us. |

Wieso? Ich verlange von meinem Taschenrechner ja auch nicht, dass ich damit telefonieren kann... ein ASIC ist ein Werkzeug zu einem bestimmten Zweck/für einen bestimmten Algorithmus. Im vorliegenden Fall eben genau der um den Bitcoin Proof-of-Work Algorithmus möglichst schnell/gut/effizient zu lösen.

Also a "will expire at 2013-09-01 13:37:00" instead of "about 1 month" would be nice.

P.s. strategy (online) games are far harder to turn into a viable and steady way of playing 4 money than (online) gambling. It all becomes programmers/coders battles.
There are some strategy games that don't really have this problem. Go and Hex both fit the bill (I'm sure there are others). There are active AI groups for both of these games but the top level, even with serious computing power, falls significantly below strong amateur human play. As a bonus, Go is quite popular in Asia and gambling is very popular (and usually legally grey). Good luck in trying to beat a modern GO engine as even a stong amateur... Yes, computers still are being beaten in that game, but it is more a question of computing power etc. than the game itself. |

Profitable mining reqires ASICs, mining itself can be (still) be done easily on general purpose CPUs. Depending on the actual purpose, mining shares might actually be "useful".
Think for example about my fictional website that will disable ads for the next link you click if you submit a valid share. You have a small "account" that can be filled up to a certain limit with "clicks" that you gain via mining. That's ~60 Satoshis per click at diff-1 at the moment. Not a lot but still maybe more than one could get from an adblock user + you can do some interesting things with your website "currency" maybe.

As soon as it is not JavaScript there is a lot of hassle involved to get users to execute your code/miner. Also I didn't really want to build a whole infrastructure etc. out of nothing.
I still like(d) the idea though, it's just something that I'm not actively pursuing atm. so that's why I posted it, so maybe someone else takes it on.
Edit:
One has to mention by the way, that these systems are NOT trustless. One can minimize the damage by requesting feedback/benefits asap after submitting a share, all in all the person handing you the shares though is someone you need to trust to fulfill a promise.

Well, a few thousand people do use Ripple and Scrypt or not, Bitcoin users can be deanonymized too.
Mixing might be possible with IOU redemption and reissuance (e.g. I send Bitstamp some BTC.Bitstamp and receive some USD.Bitstamp later, maybe to a different account), I haven't thought too much about XRP mixing.

A gateway will have a lot of (currently dozens, in the future probably hundreds) of incoming trust lines and 0 outgoing ones. Mutual trust lines are really rare and would make these 2 accounts stick out a lot.
It might be part of some limited deniability scheme, certainly no anonymity though in my opinion.

Bummer ripple is so taboo here. I had hoped to bring up some of my questions and thoughts to a larger community, but it sounds like I'll stick to the smaller ripple boards for the foreseeable future. Nah, it's ok - just make sure it is relevant for Bitcoin though, otherwise it'll end up in Alternative Cryptocurrency hell, alongside scamcoin number 1337. I really like the check analogy by the way, Ripple then is just a way to conveniently exchange these according to published prices and manage them. What did you mean with "private addresses" by the way to hide visible balances? |
