1044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain size (another thread, yes) on: June 30, 2014, 03:47:29 AM
Yes I know this has been "discussed" a thousand times already, but still... the blockchain is growing by around 1GB per month.
This is probably (and hopefully) going to grow exponentially as the number of transactions is quite directly connected with the number of users.
I don't even want to think when Bitcoin will enter Wall Street...

A lot of people use online wallets, and I think newbies will also use online wallets.

But many people immediately give up with Bitcoin though, when they see their Wallet client is taking ages to sync, but also hard disk space consumption is becoming annoyingly heavy.
This puts Bitcoin on track for investors etc, but puts off track common people that would like to enter the currency.

I think there are wallets that only download part of the blockchain. Also, I just leave the wallet syncing at night, and its usually done by the time I wake up.

So, if this has been discussed a thousand times, what where the "conclusions", and if the case, why no solution has been taken yet?

I think there are wallets that download only part of the blockchain, and ofcourse there are online wallets.

I am using Electrum at the moment and find it very comfortable.
The problem of course is security.
I also can't understand how I can trust the developers of it, how can I know they don't know my passwords and security passphrase, but at the moment, seeing my funds are very low, it's ok.

Is there any chance that this could lead to Bitcoin crashing or exploding?
All things are possible. There is a reason Bitcoin has leveled off - everyone is afraid to trade right now because of the uncertain impact of this auction.

I dont think thats the reason but aside from that I dont think it will crash, since nobody is going to sell it all off.

EDIT: ^^^ I hope.
1047  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if someday Bitcoin Foundation votes to remove 21M limitation? on: June 30, 2014, 03:41:46 AM
Im slightly curious. If they do "vote" on that, how will the apply the change? If its an update, cant we vote not to update or something? I have never seen something like that. (Dogecoin did, but I dont know how that works).

You can run JS natively in a JavascriptCore context without the web view, which has been greatly improved upon in iOS 8 with full debugging.  I've done some work on porting a "web-gl" app to iOS.

Why not fork and do it for hive? After all, Hive is open source.

my good friend paying for dedicated servers with bitcoin every month

What servers take bitcoin at this time I recall a few doing that but anyways that is cool
Only sometimes if I see something unique enough that I can get for Bitcoin otherwise a holder Smiley

Many companies accept bitcoins for servers.

Check here:

http://thebitcoinreview.com/sites.php?catid=2&subcatid=10



Since were on that topic a bit are there any for SSD Cloud Serving
Similar to Digital Ocean it would be nice to have a few cloud servers paid in Bitcoin
No need for a paypal account and another place to use bitcoin it makes sense to me instead of having to reload a paypal account just send some bits and be happy Smiley

I constantly contact Digital Ocean about this, and they say that they have no plans at all to accept BTC.

Ah so someone else was trying
Got an e-mail from them a few days ago so sent off one to them as well maybe enough people using the CEO e-mail will get them to respond.

I've noticed that you've destroyed your DigitalOcean Droplet(s).

We're striving to provide the best cloud hosting experience for developers and would love for you to give us a shot! We've automatically applied a $5 credit to your account that will provide you with one free month of hosting on our 512MB droplet.

Because we're a bunch of perfectionists, we're always looking to improve our cloud hosting platform. Any feedback that you're willing to provide would be much appreciated!

Feel free to shoot me an email directly at ceo@digitalocean.com with your comments.

Thank you so much,

Ben Uretsky
Co-Founder & CEO

I emailed them again with a lot more info. Lets see what they reply.

So 45$ is the highest bid so far?

I won't launch a website if I buy so it is maybe better to let it go

Me neither. Ill hold onto it until I can launch something on it.

1060  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: BUYING BTC for PayPal + Western Union + Moneygram + Credit Card.. now! on: June 26, 2014, 11:38:07 PM

That looks like a great service but unfortunately I'm located in Australia and from what I've read on the site it works with all US based banks. I suppose credit card will work but the fees associated with using a credit card with that service aren't appealing at all. If there's any other payment method I have listed you're happy to go with I'm happy to help you out otherwise

Oh ok. Thanks for checking. All other sites require a lot of verification and I wanted to use something like Venmo. Thanks for trying!
