Indeed, BTC are easier than a plane filled with gold ! Even with the price varaition that may occur for that kind of large tx !
If the gold was for Iran, it maybe had to be gold for the demand of gold being huge there right now. It's pointless to discuss bitcoins as a perfect alternative if you don't know the purpose of the delivery. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Diaspora accepting Bitcoin donations!

just make some contacts, and it's reasonably alive as an online community (your real friends are probably not there of course, so it's a different thing still to facebook). Or just follow some hashtags like #bitcoin Also Adam Kokesh and lots of libertarians recently joined. Problem is that checking once in a month is the same that I do but I post to facebook more than to g+ and almost did not post a thing to diaspora. Network effect. Sure there are things that make no sense on the one or the other social network but for those things that should go to all, you should post them to all. To not have more work, there are tools (which tools?) that allow to post to them all with one action. If you want to support diaspora, use it to post, too. Hen and eggs you know. |

Maybe some of the followers of this thread already feed some scammer account to jump in when it's worth doing so. We are now 2/3rd through the game and it's likely the reward for scamming will be 10Ƀ later on. Maybe I'm one of them trying to save my stash from cheaper scammers  Most likely it's 5h of work to feed an account to 100 posts and some users already have their sock puppet troll accounts that they can just as well make famous and start over. My conclusion is more that 99% of all humans are trustworthy but 1% are capable of making huge damage. These 1% might not really care about 4Ƀ. These 1% are the reason we need rules and all kind of regulation – a society basically. |

This is getting a bit dangerous tbh. Awesome nonetheless, but dangerous. If I can play I'll tag-team with someone - 14vCb4rr1SdWFLDFgW4NMUbodPYqcCoRm2 If not ignore this  Too young, sorry. I don't like that some people increase the amount. I hope the OP gets a reward for starting this and I hope that somebody does a sweet analysis of how much fees were paid on average, median, max and how fast the fastest 2-hops or 3-hops were etc. If we finally hit a scammer, it would take weeks until we finally decide the coins are lost and the focus would be on that one black sheep. This "circle" is not a group of trustworthy people as our dear pirate proofed so lets focus on what else this experiment can proof. |

lol, ich hab das copyright gelesen, jetzt weiß ich auch warum du das ding immer anpreist  ich hab mich eingetragen. Donnerstag passt meistens am besten. feedback willkommen Wie's scheint, sind einige mehr gewillt, fluxday zu nutzen, als hier zu posten. Dort sind wir nämlich schon 5 für nächsten Dienstag bis Donnerstag. Was haltet Ihr vom anderen Vorschlag, eine Kneipentour mit Bitcoin-Werbematerial zu machen? Das war ernst gemeint und ich könnte auch etwas Zeit in die Vorbereitung stecken. 100 Flyer drucken und die dann an ca. 20 Kneipen verteilen. Rein gehen, fragen, ob man was auslegen darf, wenn die Frage kommt - und die kommt immer - was man denn auslegen möchte, Bitcoin erklären. |

Let's hope you haven't forgotten yet. How many transactions are we up to by the way?

Hmm... You only have 151 posts.  Please be suspicious and paranoid if people with 101 posts that registered yesterday show up here. He registered June 2011. |

Actually that is an old maintenance message which i forgot to update, the servers were switched a few months back. The old mac minis are being fired up again and some processes are being moved over (Bitcoind, Email server etc) as well as upgrading the firewall on the firewall and the laster mysql cluster version. Should be back fairly soon.
Ok, hmm … I was about to ask which programming language you used to serve so many users with so decent speed. And as blockexplorer.com is down, too (at least when trying to find the balance of an address), I'm getting impatient now. If you now move stuff to the mac mini again … I'm confused. Do you expect improved performance from that??? Kind of doesn't make sense to me. |

Hi Giszmo,
You may very well be right but normally I don't recommend having the same private keys in two active wallets. It is too easy to double spend and you start banging up against edge conditions that neither wallet (that has the private keys in) has been tested against.
It's normally better if you copy the private keys from wallet A to wallet B to only use wallet B.
Also, for the distribution of transaction outputs I think Lenny has, MultiBit just isn't very good at dealing with at the moment. Most people just want to be able to press 'Send' and be sure the transaction will be sent ok. Hence my recommendation to use a client that is better with the fee calcs.
I was actually more interested in whether Multibit would forget an "own double-spend" that way. Taken you know you won't reuse the key, it should also be safe to do it. Lastly, under no circumstances you should never loose coins from having any mix of copied keys. Just your book-keeping might get temporarily confused. |

Hi Lenny,
Unfortunately no - better fees are a non-trivial bit of work and I plan to concentrate on encrypted wallets now until they are out the door.
I think your bitcoin has some small amounts that are aggregated together (from my investigations earlier). The current MultiBit is probably not the best client to use with these transactions for exactly the reasons you state. The transactions created will be too large for the fees added so they won't propagate through the network properly.
Pragmatically you are better off moving your bitcoin out into another client like blockchain.info or Electrum until the fees are calculated better. Come back to MultiBit when the fees are implemented properly and you can use it without any hassle.
You don't even need to send your bitcoin out as you can do an (unencrypted) private key export and import the file directly into blockchain.info. (be sure to secure delete the unencrypted key export file).
Obviously I would prefer you to use MultiBit but being practical I think another alt client would make for an easier life for you.
Wouldn't it be possible to just export one priv key that is used in the non-spreading transaction to do one transaction with it via blockchain.info? Shouldn't multibit forget its own transaction when it sees a confirmed transaction that is in conflict with what it tries to send? |

Mulitbit being the best localized client and having some statistically relevant download figures I wonder if you could give us a chart of countries?
