Impressed with the progress on this and inspired by what it means for all! Just wait until Moneychanger gains the ability to also act as a Bitcoin wallet too, transparently. |

If you look at volume in USD it's not anemic at all. It's substantially higher than during the post-silkroad-arrest runup in mid to late October 2013.
I'm not claiming we're in hyperdrive like November last year (this is yet to come), but to say this is some people who happen to have time during the holiday playing with the price at will is quite a stretch.
The volume ist not insubstantial.
So basically what we need to do is take this volume chart (all currencies, all exchanges): http://data.bitcoinity.org/#caaadaehaaAnd convert that to a composite "volume in currency" that uses a weighted average of all the currency pairs. And then we'd get an accurate picture of volume measured in fiat. Or as an good-enough approximation you just use the USD exchange rate as a multiplier. |

Back in December 2012 I ate at a restaurant and asked the server if I could give him his tip in bitcoin. He had an Android phone and had no problem installing the Blockchain.info wallet. At the time the exchange rate was right around $10 so I gave him 1 bitcoin even.
Fast forward about 6 months and I happened to be there again and he remembered me as the guy who had given him a "$200 tip". Exchange rate at the time was ~$120, but he didn't mind that it had gone down slightly after having gone up so high.
Last time I talked to him he said he planned on holding it for a while longer.

Anyway some of the more anarchist and anti-state people would not consider his supposed actions a crime, but the govt would. That makes it sound like congratulations are in order then, not threats. |

There's only one interesting thing going on here: Shockingly the number of offers for evidence connecting him to being a "-----" and involved in --------------- was shocking. It seems he is well known in that circle and there is a lot of evidence. Is this something the greater Bitcoin community should know about or not? If so, then talk about that. If not, this thread is some sort of fake MAD posturing. |

I wonder how many of the people who voted "Offline Cold Storage" are using Armory, and how many are using other tools.

Mainly I would like to know if you put some bitcoins on there at near market value (maybe slightly less or maybe slightly higher) how quickly does it typically take you to make a sale. If it's a situations where I could be waiting days or weeks on end to get an offer I would rather just sell through my coinbase account. It's 100% dependent on your reputation. When you're new you have to accept less profitable and more inconvenient deals in order to build your reputation. Once you've put in the work to establish yourself as a reliable trader you can reap the benefits in the form of more preferential terms. I can usually get a trade within a matter of minutes when I want one. |

While you're right of course, the very fact that someone might think they won is significant. The great mass of people seem to be have been successfully herded into models like Netflix and iTunes than bittorrent. I see that as a win because Netflix, iTunes, Hulu, etc. look nothing like where the industry wanted to go in the late 90s. The main impetus that made filesharing popular is the record companies, and later Hollywood, refused to be reasonable in terms of making their content available. Basically they were forced to conform to what their customers wanted or else be left behind entirely. They tried fighting this with lawyers, but all that did was make the circumvention technology evolve even faster. |

In any case, the 0.91 database changes look good.
Although the initial sync subjectively seemed a lot slower than the 0.90 version, it meant I could close the program in the middle and it would pick up again in the same spot without losing progress.
So far Armory recovers perfectly from an unclean shutdown (via kill -9).

Not only is this thread posted in the wrong forums area, but there's also a real poll function you can use.

I just pushed some changes to the 0.91-dev branch. Small changes in terms of code, big changes in terms of effect:
--I now save wallet histories after every block, not just on clean shutdown. It should not require rescanning except on loading new wallets
--I tweaked the DB optimizations, and it looks like I cut the scan times down to about 2/3 or 1/2 of what they were before.
Especially justusranvier: Checkout the "0.91-dev" branch and do a make clean and make. You must "--rebuild" the databases for the new scan speeds to be realized... it has to do with the way the DB is constructed, not the way it is read. And check that the crashes I'm testing it now. FYI: on Gentoo you don't need to tell us to "make clean and make." Our Portage build system checks out the source code to a clean temporary directory each and every time we compile. On a related note, changing the name of the development branch makes keeping our ebuilds up to date particularly difficult. This kind of branching and tagging model would help us, and is probably a good idea in general: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ |

We already have a widely-used proof of stake coin - it's called the Federal Reserve.

Haven't read all the backlog, so I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not:
There's a difference in terms of the threat posed by a pool that aggregates hashing power from many different individuals, all of whom could switch if the pool operator breaks evil, and that posed by large capacity miners who control all the hashing equipment themselves.

sorry but i don't want all the contracts and new prototype theoretical features thrown into bitcoin. Sorry, but Bitcoin is not your personal toy. Quite a few people are waiting for this capability to be returned to the protocol. |

And they pretty much won They won? Let me check something- nope, I can still find any content I want on TPB and download it without any problems. |
