Cognitive Dissonance.

Great. So I can just update every week manually? (Presuming I use less than 100 addresses in that time)

What happens once 100 addresses are exceeded and you backed up your wallet 101 addresses ago?

PS: Anyone can recommend some kind of automatic backup software for Linux?

Esperanto took me 2 weeks 24x7 all day to learn. Bitcoin took me 5 mins to start.

I can communicate with English fine everywhere. I cannot pay for things on the net, or withdraw money abroad without bending over to take it in the ass without even a kiss or a reach around.

Big difference.

Lastly, Esperanto is undergoing a modern revival due to the internet. Now 2 million speak it, which is comparable to a small European country like Estonia.

Using your analogy I can conclude that Linux or Free Software would've been a failure... But it clearly is not!

The jump will be big early on. But after a while, those small jumps will be non-noticeable.

50->25 is a lot bigger impact than 1.5->0.8

don't worry about it.

they will insta-ban you as the software will pick it up.

PS. Don't use shit-book. Boycott that crap.

Why do they have a @msn.com email? And where is the link for their website?

I'll just jump back in here and confirm that everything is fine. Transactions I make to old other bitcoin clients do show up. And overall my balance works and everything. Guess I'm stuck with the command line non-gui bitcoind for the time being 

I heard that you need to backup your wallet after every transaction otherwise the backup is invalid. Is this true?

Can anyone recommend me an auto-backup configuration for Ubuntu?

Having read this thread, I've done a U-turn on my earlier view and agree. Lets protect and care for bitcoin until she leaves her nursery onto the economic killing fields.

Nope. I restored my backup and still the same thing happens in .17 release client.

EDIT: nevermind ignore this stupidity. My sister hadn't downloaded all the blocks yet. That's why it wasn't showing up yet.

However my OP still stands.

ok I'm worried something is very wrong here.

- I backed up my wallet.dat
- Downloaded, made svn
- Sent my sister 10 BTC (still not showing after 3 confirmations for her).
- When I try to open the old bitcoin I get:


Have I ruined everything??

I have never had more than 100 BTC in my account ever.

What is this first entry all about?

RHorning spot on. Nothing to add.

bitcoind should ideally run listening. Then the bitcoin gui is simply a thin client communicating using json to the daemon.

This way people can easily make custom clients IMO

blaa blaa shutdown forum. we just open a new one elsewhere. lol

Like I used Paypal anyway. Let them rot into oblivion. Everyone knows they're a criminal company and are decaying.

How about using mimetypes and setting bitcoin as that default mimetype.

i.e

download and open address.bitcoin which contains the string 15kDhRAcpgsugmh6mQsTcCHdvbsuYncEEV

Would be a hell of a lot easier and very simple to implement.

I suppose you're right.

Hey,

In the future there will be many different online bitcoin providers holding your money in a virtual wallet.dat online.

Many websites will want to accept bitcoin payments from a 'Tip Jar' button that requires minimal effort to click if you're logged in through OpenID.

The many content providers will need to agree on a method for allowing tipping, together with the online bitcoin services.

----
- Sign up to mybitcoin.com or whatever wallet service using an OpenID.
- Viewing video on dansblog.org. You like that.
- Click Tip Jar first time.
- OpenID sign up screen.
- dansblog.org contacts distributed database (like DNS) to lookup your wallet provider.
- dansblog.org redirects you to https://mybitcoin.com/mywallet.php?send=5&address=dsjsdjksdjksdjdsk23iuweewkc
- mybitcoin.com saves redirect header (who redirected). Displays confirmation page.
- You click OK
- Redirects back to previously viewing webpage.

Now I propose that we all decide on the distributed database part, so that we can start adding in wallet providers and provide an easy way to provide consistent service between many different services.

The returned URL would have an option for the amount to send and the address to send to.

What do you think? It'd be good to write a spec and put it out there. Even if it isn't written yet, there would be a definitive document that we point people to and say 'this is how it's done. comply with the standard.'

dansblog.org and felixsweb.org could both use different databases but they both sync with each other.

I'm part of the way the way through the interview and wow, you've done a fantastic job. The intro about Linux was necessary IMO and well done. good job.

This is why we need an automated bitcoin service for new people :p Where they can download their online wallets and shut down their accounts if they wish.
