Guys it's an obviously ponzi scheme, pay attention ! It's insane ... don't trust this site.

So are cloudmining sites. It is a gamble either way. Your results may vary.

This is amazing. Geek heaven Grin

Any plans for expansion?

Smiley Thanks. In the short term, I plan on cleaning up the code and adding the ability to give labels to addresses.   I am also weighing the merits of adding a command-line GUI - I don't want to get bogged down with GUI code but it looks like it's wanted.

I love command-line wallets and things of that nature for bitcoin. I can't wait to check it out.  Smiley


EDIT: Installation was smooth, it is really nice. I love that "panic" feature.

Good to hear installation worked. And yes, I was surprised pretty much all other wallets don't have a panic feature - hopefully more implement them.  I'm planning to focus on security and privacy in TermWallet, and any suggestions to make it better are welcome Smiley 

A little tip: I use the panic feature to clean up my wallet - you can send your BTCs to an address in your own wallet (just make sure you don't also delete it!)

I don't know a lot about bitcoinj but is there chance for multisig support in the future?

Someone please ban that blixcronker

Just put him on ignore. Really, we are all adults here so we know what a ponzi games is. Some win, some lose. It is my first time playing, I deposited yesterday and still haven't got a payout. But you will hardly see me making disruptive posts in giant red letters.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess. Wink

Also I apologize, Alex let me know the web irc client was not connecting to new network. It is fixed now and I ask for everyone's patience while I get the dedicated (and hosted) client up. It will have a lot more features, including built-in HamRadioCoin commands right from the menu.

The tipbot coin rain is cool  =)

Haha! Yeah everyone loves that. I got a little code snippet somewhere that lets it do payouts for trivia and such. I may add it in when the chan gets a little more busy.

Back when people lived in caves these restrictions did not exist.

Seriously?
1726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Jesus ministry not to preach from American soil on: January 11, 2015, 12:16:55 AM

Something is badly wrong with justice anyways, when selling fireworks is considered illegal even though they were properly paid for (and not stolen). A proper sales contract between two private individuals, how can that be illegal?!?!?!


Well that is the way it *should* be. Even the US dollar says "Legal tender for all debts, public and private" But it really doesn't work that way, sadly.

the people involved in the Free State Project seem to think so.

I think they are a comedy troupe now:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg7YhXuyw5g

What exactly is wrong with the free state project? I'm actually curious, because I don't know you personally but someone I respect highly evidently trusts you so I'd like to hear it.

I had heard of them before and I thought it was good thing at first.  The first time I actually heard their show was the coverage of the first big Bitcoin Foundation conference.  I told my Dad about it and he was over when the conference was starting.  They started running commercials claiming all government workers were "murders."  Totally off-the-wall stuff.  Since then I have been watching the members of this organization talk about Bitcoin and there was quite a bit of exaggeration and misrepresentation.  It is not just one or two instances, it is a pattern.  What they are doing is using Bitcoin to promote their agenda and they attach the success of their agenda to the success of Bitcoin, hence the misinformation and exaggeration.

these exaggerations include claims that the Bitcoin economy is huge and increasing exponentially.  Another claim is that it is impossible to change the 21 million limit yet they claim it is easy to fix bugs and change the number of decimal digits.  Ver says the OpenBazaar is based on "blockchain technology."   Then there are the claims that Bitcoin will end war or somehow change the way the entire world works.  The vast number of potential Bitcoin users are never going to agree with this stuff. 

I agree that there is an erosion of liberties, government is too big, financially irresponsible, and all that but the Free State people are so far out they offer no benefit to Bitcoin.  it is true that some of those people blazed the trail for Bitcoin in its early days but now they are a detriment by using Bitcoin to promote an agenda.  You may notice that successful Bitcoin businesses are not promoting Bitcoin as a tool to end war, collapse governments, or replace the US dollar.

Thank you for your reply. War isn't going to end anytime soon, no matter what financial tools are at our disposal. I don't see the "replacement of the US dollar" thing. Bitcoin is designed to do just that. The dollar does it's job, and bitcoin does what it is meant to do. Or am I misinterpreting your words?

Good morning everyone! I see 23 unread messages, great - lol! Keep it going everyone, 5+ days still left.

Also, can't a man get some sleep without people thinking I've run away? Haha

Not with this crowd. If you don't reply immediately to someone's mail you are obviously the next pirateat40.

Why would the 'anonymous' people be targeting Islamic State and Al Qaida?

We all know that Al Qaida is created by the CIA to destabilize the middle east countries.

It's safe to assume that this video is also created by the CIA in an attempt to conquer and destabilize the middle east countries.

I was rather shocked to see that myself, as historically most anonymous splinter groups have worked hand-in-hand with such groups.
1731  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN][ALPHA] BitcoinRunner - an arcade-style scoller powered entirely by Bitcoin on: January 10, 2015, 09:29:07 PM

UPDATE:

I fixed the block appearance issues, so the game should play much better now.  Note you may have to refresh the page in order for the file to be loaded (it should show "BitcoinRunner v0.50" now).

Also worked on the sound issue related to pausing/unpausing, and I think that should work better.

I apologize that during the Bitstamp downtime this week there were no coins at the top of the tunnel nor banks; also the walls would "move around".  This is due to the lower levels being created from Bitstamp only data right now.  This will be fixed in a future version.

Also, looking into the replacement sound track... most of the Bitcoin songs seem to have lyrics, which doesn't seem appropriate.  So far the only one that I have seen that doesn't is the "rally song", which I'll investigate further.  If anyone has any recommendations for instrumental-only soundtracks that I might be able to use, I'll be happy to hear them!

Cheers...

No worries mate, I am mildly addicted to this game as-is. One of my irc bots was practically useless until bitstamp came back up yesterday.

Sadly, it's the same quality stuff as I left. I do miss the forums a few years back. Back when it was mostly technical rather than political.

Ah well, times have changed.
I have a lot on boards on ignore and that helps a lot. You should try it sometime Grin

For me it is almost every newbie in the altcoin announce section. I would seriously like to see a fire sweep through the halls of that section.

Thanks for releasing the source. I will spin up a VM later tonight and give it a test.

The law just looks like a spoiled bully that is making up stupid rules because they're pissed because one of their subjects stood up for himself and said, enough is enough.

If you recall that sort of behaviour helped spark the revolution that the USofA started from. Has it come full circle?

Well, the people involved in the Free State Project seem to think so.

I remember seeing the Free State Project ads on CoinVisitor. Didn't know that was still in operation.

2015 . . . The year of the ponzi (beats mining thats for sure)

I 100% agree.  love me some ponzi!

CLOUD MINING = ponzi .. so it doesnt make any difference ...

Difference is this doesn't pretend to not be like all cloud mining does


You know, you aren't wrong. In retrospect as much as I have a distaste for ponzi games I'd rather deposit there than ever put another dime into places like pbmining.

2E0RFU did an excellent job on that faucet. I helped test it yesterday and I was impressed it was all coded from scratch.
1740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Users of Bitcoin Core on Linux must not upgrade to the latest version of OpenSSL on: January 10, 2015, 02:35:59 PM
I know how to check openssl version, question was about bitcoin-qt binary package from ppa

Just open the debug window and you will see what version of OpenSSL the executable was linked against.


Kind of makes me glad I haven't bothered upgrading openssl in some time.

*blank stare*


Like you said, there is LibreSSL.  Cheesy
