Then we can only wonder why are you shitting your pants thinking about "the media and politicians beating you up", just because you did not adjust the bitcoin protocol to please the US gov... Where do you live, if I may ask - in Guantanamo?

Obviously one does not need to be an American to be a poor american slave - you are the very proof.

You poor american slave.
If your media and politicians will beat you up - how is it anyone's problem except your own?
Trust me: unlike what they told you at school, world is much bigger than just your nazi fatherland and both; Bitcoin and the world will be just fine, maybe even better, after your once great USA is already a dead stinky body, killed by its own exceptionalism.

You elect your own government, you pretend to spread "freedom & democracy" all over the world, but ironically you are the only ones who come crying that your own media and politicians are beating you up, thus forcing you to conspire against the bitcoin as we've known it... And in the meantime I am the one who wears a tinfoil hat...

You know, not that I wear it, but considering the fact that you are quite aware of how fucked up the country you live in actually is, does't it make you feel like maybe tinfoil hats actually work?

And you are trying to focus the topic on things that are completely irrelevant, to drag the readers away from the point.

Whether I am on any drugs or am I wearing any kind of hat - it isn't any of your business.

Take your friend Mike and go suck your latest genocidal psychopath president's dick.

Yeah, yeah...
Once again, man: please, spare me your bullshit and get the fuck out of my face.

You are not bitcoin developers, nor you are representing any - you are solely the enemies of bitcoin.

Evidence?  I am pretty sure that we have enough of evidence here - you are just playing stupid pretending that we don't understand what we are reading.

The leaks from your cartel's closed forum are much more than I need for an evidence - and I haven't even read through half of it..
Let's take a random quote for instance - enough of an evidence for anyone capable of using his brain:


Suddenly it turns out that Mike Hearn is nont only a Google employee - he and his friends have ambitions to become policemen, judges and punishers at the same time.
Well thanks guys for your generous offer, but we really don't need you to take care of our coins.
Just do us a favour and get the fuck out of our sight, before you make us to throw up right on your white shoes.

Then you probably don't know history, sir.
Cold war wasn't an actual war - it was only a propaganda served by the governments at both the sides of the Berlin wall, just to keep people scared thus more subjective.
Whilst the Bitcoin blowup is an actual war, where the people are fighting corporations that have been enslaving us for the last century using the weapon of a money creation monopoly.
But we have just built our own weapon and we are not giving it up! It has a power of 5PH/s, growing every day, and no WMDs they own are a thread to us anymore.
They can assassinate a person, they can genocide a nation - but they cannot break Bitcoin.

I think I made myself clear that I am not interested in debating anything with you, nor with any of your co-conspirators from the cartel, otherwise known as a self proclaimed bitcoin elite.
Just like the nazi government you are apparently working for, I also don't negotiate with terrorists - a subtle difference though is that for me you are the terrorists.
So just fuck off and don't even speak to me, since we have no common goals anymore - and this part I am already sure about, after reading your bitcoin protocol improvement "proposals" that followed two years of a precious development time totally wasted on implementing some crappy SSL-based "payment system", because Google said so...

Of course you will not break bitcoin, but definitely not because of a lack of trying...
You won't break it because it was invented by a person much smarter than you and is now protected by the hashing power of the people who, unlike you, don't think that nazi USA is exceptional and can/should rule the world.
You can keep committing genocides all around the world, calling it all you want "operation freedom" or whatever other Orwellian titles, but you won't break this network, no matter how hard you try and how dirty you play the game - I have already bet all my money on it

If you'd switch to a different kind of UTXO database (e.g. LevelDB), the memory usage should go down significantly.
But 3 GB that it takes in peeks these days doesn't seem like something that people cannot afford - I definitely can, so I'm not wasting my time on this.

But the interface to UTXO db is fairly simple, so if anyone wants to try wrapping it over a different engine, you're welcome to try.

OpenSSL is optional - its there just to speed up ECDSA verify operations, since the ones from standard go libs are damn slow.

But I ported sipa's ECDSA lib into native Go and it performs even better than openssl wrapper, so these days openssl is even disabled by default.
I left it there though, for the kind of paranoid people who trust more in the openssl mess than in the clean code from sipa and my re-implementation of it.

Thanks.
I haven't been taking pull requests so far, because I wanted to stay the only copyright holder, hoping to cash on it some day selling it for a commerce apps.
But unlike the fucking bunch of traitors I do care about the future of the bitcoin as we know it, more than personal profits, so I'm open for suggestions and ideas...

If there will be a need for it, I will make gocoin free also for commercial use. I can also add bitcoind compatible mining API, if anyone is interested.

Spare me the bullshit, man.
I'm totally capable of drawing my own conclusions, not interested at all in your stupid excuses and I don't trust you a bit.

Looks like the cartel is much farther with conspiring against the bitcoin principles, than I had ever expected.
That's exactly what we could predict after Google itself had put their dirty hands on the development - anyone with a working brain knew that nothing good could have come from it.

Anyway, thanks for the leak!

MtGox has their merchant API interface - you can either quantify the price in bitcoins, or in fiat.

Also blockchain.info has Receive Payments API, but it accepts only BTC and the security of this solution does not seem so hot.
Though it's easier to integrate and the coins come directly to your wallet, instead of ending up in their.

The best procedure is to just recover your last backup, but I guess it isn't a successful help, is it?

So far the only public review you can relay on is that the public has not reported having their money stolen from the standard client, despite of all the incentives behind it.
Only tiny Android wallets were robbed so far, but that's only because Google added "even more bugs" while fixing one in Android's RNG... allegedly - they made a seminar about the details of this incident, but it was only for a high profile scientists

Which doesn't mean stolen coins won't be reported, for the standard client, in a future - just wait... the great new versions are coming, right from Google's best security experts.
I already have my popcorn bought and waiting to be heated

Of course.
If your goal it to indulge the guy's unawareness of what Bitcoin is, then guessing what he meant, instead of explaining him why his question doesn't make a sense, is probably a good way to go.

I just don't know if this is the approach that he should have thanked you for, after all.
Though, I am pretty sure that he won't thank me, but still: you're welcome, man
And also have my bonus advise: since bitcoin is cash already, and quite a solid one, try to not convert it into a corrupt governments' promises, unless you really have to

Well, tell it to him. I haven't studied mind reading, but only some science, so I can only answer questions that have a logical sense.
At least I'm teaching him that his question was stupid, instead of deepening his ignorance in the matter, like you.

Won't be, after Greg moves it out of here

what does it have to do with "Development & Technical Discussion"?

but yes, there is a faster and safe option for eurozone citizen.
the safest one I know is if you buy from me
the fastest - this depends on which bank you have your account or how quickly they can deliver your EUR to mine.

paying cash would probably be the fastest and the safest from your perspective, but then you need to meet your dealer.

Bitcoin is cash and this is a wrong section of the forum for this kind of stupid questions.

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thread... maybe you should have linked to it.

You mean the thread when a guy from some company said in an email that part of the seed used to pick up the G point was an ASCII encoded name of one of his colleges?
Well I hope you understand that 'part of the seed' leaves a lot of space for a potential corruption. So I am rather worried about the other part...
