It is odd.  The idea of the trust settings was that people should decide for themselves who's feedback to value, unfortunately, an implementation error has led to a special few who are encharged with 'looking out for the rest of us'.  Some of them dont' really seem to want this responsibility, others have fought like wolverines to try to get it.  I have sympathy for the former group and distrust for the latter.
 
Some of those people are using many account to game the "standard trust" list itself.  Hopefully, we'll see a change sometime soon.


Not that I don't appreciate satire, but that sort of non-sequitur sorta just killed the discussion.  Thanks.  Clearly there are earthly options which improve on the status-quo.  Hopefully we can try out some of them soon.

Got it.  And thanks for the pointer to the bottom of that page, I had overlooked that.  I think this also answers OP's question pretty definitively.

What about an update on the android client?  You guys said it was a few months out back in March.  How we doing on that?

Need a way for people to use seals without having to sell their souls to MicroSoft.  Help us out here!

One follow-up, according to the OP codes listed here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script, it seems that OP_RETURN:


This is a little confusing because "valid" seems to be being used more than one way in the same paragraph.  I guess this isn't the kind of marking invalid which would cause a node not to relay the transaction?  What's the correct understanding of "valid" here?

bump.  (time to resolve this quickseller, you can't just ignore it and make it go away)

Not disagreeing with the content of your post, DH, but one might argue that not filtering this or that messaged based on its characterization spam/useless/misleading/dangerous/etc is being neutral.  In my opinion, fltering messages would make them non-neutral.

So the one output would have a value of 0 Satoshis and the script part would just be OP_RETURN + 40 bytes of data?

If this is the preferred dust cleanup transaction I'm happy to know it.

MZ, we're not talking here about a transaction that has been confirmed.  We're talking about an unconfirmed transaction.

But this is problmatic because the 1 satoshi ends up in the UTXO set so instead of cleaning up the dust, you're making even smaller dust and sending it to someone else.

It may be better instead to make a transactions without any outputs (is this legal)?  If the point is to clean up dust, you definitely want to figure out how to create something which actually acheives this.

I don't think there's a calculation error, but it seems a little arbitrary to suggest that the person spend 210 seconds (3.5 minutes) on each post when the systme is going to require that they wait at least 360 seconds.  You're right that you can divide the day into approx 411 segments of 210 seconds each, but what stands out to me as weird is recommening that the person spend less time per post than they're actually allowed to spend.

Seems like this must not work on all browsers/OS's.  I just tried it on firefox on debian and again in chromium and I didn't get the pop-up in either browser.

I guess that kinda makes sense.  But then again, imagine that any exchange owner starts trading on their own exchange, surely they don't have to pay fees to themself, but I can't really see how this hurts other customers in that marketplace.

Just curious if you can say what the conflict is?  As I understand a conflict of interest, it's when someone has two (or more) competing financial interests: for example, say I am hired to regulate the oil industry in the name of the public interest and say I hold massive amounts of stock in that industry---here promoting either of my interests has a direct cost to the other.  Or say, for a smaller scale example that I am paid to police the forums and mark scammers with negative trust and at the same time I sell accounts for a living---clearly neg-repping many accounts bumps the value the accounts I sell.

In your case, poloniex sells clams, so like any other clamholder they have an interest in getting a good price on the clam they sell.  What's the conflict?  What's the other interest?

It would be nice if the forum itself had some kind of export.  If you have to save a bunch of html files you're going to get all the page header stuff at the top of each page, links to your account and other stuff that's not relevant for archiving a thread or making a text version of a thread.

I've also thought the same thing about my post history, it's many pages long and if I wanted to "export it" by just saving the html from my browser I'd have to do a lot of cleaning to get down to just the parts that I wrote.

It's probably worth it in this case for the OP to alias 'bitcoin-cli' -> 'bitcoin-cli --datadir=/path/to/his/blockchain' in his .bashrc or whatever shell he uses.  I wouldn't want to have to keep typing that.

Or, maybe this is a better option. perhaps could symlink his external hdd to the "standard" location of the datadir so that the default paths just work.

I think you'll have to say a bit more about what kinds of interactions you're looking for.  In general there are python libraries to send JSON RPC, to do shell stuff (subprocess,Popen,etc).  If you say what kinds of tasks you want your script to do, that would help people help you.

Thanks, pawell777, that explains the context a little better.  However, the OP can't be expected to keep the site online forever just in case someone finally comes along looking for 10mBTC.  It seems to me to be reasonable that eventually the site closes and the if someone who left some money in an account comes along, they'll need to contact the admin via email or some other method.

I don't think there's anyone who's actually even claiming to be missing funds.  This is how rumors start.  Someone says "is anyone missing funds?".  Next post "I think OP is checked out".  Next post "those who are missing funds should do X".

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if I do, you're looking for this:

Looks like the profit chart went back up to 170Kish not long after.  Did dental lose it back?
