We had David Birch at last years European Bitcoin Conference: http://bitcoinmedia.com/eurobit-david-birch-next-generation-money/Not sure why Adrianne Jeffries is talking about bitcoin though. She's a journalist, not a payments expert and some of her writings have been wrong or shown a deep lack of understanding about bitcoin and the community. David Birch is actually a payments consultant for the conventional banking industry. So when you hear him speak, you know this is the current conventional wisdom in those circles. |

Check my KicksDJ_FC custom built his own Nike Jordans to create this luscious BITCOIN sneaker. BTC-Hospital Saves MeThat guy on the bitcoin forums literally saved me from crippling injury in a few years time. Had I not spoke to him, it may have been too late before I got it checked out. I always kept putting it off since I'm so busy and it didn't seem like a big deal.

Is there new information about the conference, maybe an approximate date?
Yeah, we're going to make an announcement soon after we confirm the venue. We're shooting for either September or December. |

you are such a cunt atlas, that it's unbelievable.
no actually, you are a kid. grow the fuck up.
your post was incredibly insulting and rude.

O shut up. Let us geek out over this cool little funding drive. He's doing alright so far. More than 1k in 2 days is far from fail. If he can raise funds without selling himself out or sacrificing quality, why then that's awesome.

I am just a HUGE hater of crowdfunding It's easy to hate what you don't understand. The business mentality doesn't understand sharing, helping others, donations, generosity, kindness or being socially responsible. Yeah, the logic of the two marketplaces is completely different. In the commercial marketplace, you would not work for free. Nobody would work at Walmart helping customers or stack shelves for free. You'd be a chump! The logic is that you do stuff for money. Yet you get all these people on Wikipedia. Volunteers. Who do sometimes insanely tedious work. Why? No one knows. But that's the norms of the community marketplace. The logic of this space, is that of the community. A love of what you do. Welcome to the new age of peer production. |

Hah! I just woke up confused as hell why my code isn't working. Thanks for letting me know why.

Guess I shouldn't have ignored all those bazillions of alerts yesterday.
tl;dr version packets now have a checksum.

Thank you DrG. I am in the UK, so our health care is free (luckily), otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford a specialist.
Scary stuff. I will go tomorrow right away with your message and demand a specialist from my GP. You probably saved my health a great deal otherwise I would definitely have put this off for longer. Thanks for the wakeup call.

Yes, that's very weird. It should be fine connecting to localhost. Have you got an IP address I can connect to your bitcoind? It could be that you're running an old version of bitcoin (the version packet has changed since older versions). If that's the case then trying the latest should work.
I'm on Skype as zgenjix or Freenode IRC in #bitcoinconsultancy as genjix
Ring ring, live support. How can I help you sir?

are you using the latest repos from http://gitorious.org/libbitcoin/ ? If so can you paste the error here (if different from above). It looks like you're using a libbitcoin from a few days ago but latest python bindings. |

[libbitcoin] First 500 blockslibbitcoin is a toolkit based library and can be leveraged with different design patterns depending on the task or application. Previously we examined using libbitcoin using an active object pattern. In this example we will use an imperative style program to connect to a bitcoin node and download the first 500 blocks.

@znort, try google-protobuf or something. And dont use the boost headers in ubuntu... they are missing async_connect function. Use 1.48 from boostr website as per instructions above.
In case anyone is actually interested, the package is actually called "libprotobuf-dev" These requirements makes libbitcoin fairly unusable for a large number of developers: installing the very latest and greatest g++ and boost are: A) a fairly annoying undertaking. B) not always an option, in particular for production systems Also, note that the --with-boost= flag to configure seems to have no effect whatsoever: the Makefile generated keeps on using the system boost headers instead of the ones in the boost directory specified on the configure cmd line. This precludes having multiple installs of boost (which is required for a whole swath of other things to keep functionning). The only way I got the damn thing to compile was to force a -I to point in the right place in the CXX and CC env. vars prior to running configure, not exactly a clean or particularly obvious way to get there. Bottom line: libbitcoin seems nice, but it's a PITA to compile and adoption will thereby suffer. Follow that. I'm using boost built to a local directory. The library is still early. These dependencies will all become standard and part of Linux distributions within a few months. It's a worthwhile gamble since they add significant quality to the library. Add these 2 lines to the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zgenjix/libbitcoin/ubuntu oneiric main I think this should be " http://ppa.launchpad.net/genjix" without a "z" I also added it to "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/libbitcoin.list" instead of "/etc/apt/sources.list" Now lets see if I can get the python bindings built   [user@silo python-bitcoin]$ make

I would stay away from the packages for the time being. Once I make a 1.0 release this month then I will update them. If anyone manages to get it to build, then build instructions would be much appreciated. I wrote these: https://bitcoinconsultancy.com/wiki/Build_libbitcoinoff the top of my head. I don't have a clean environment around to test, and I'm also very stressed for time what with the exchange, bitcoin media, libbitcoin and bitcoin conference requirements. I'm trying to devote 80% of my time on this library so it means I have to be really efficient with my time. Also there's a new tutorial I will post below! |

Warning: BTC-E compromisedI have identified a critical flaw on BTC-E that allows unhindered access to accounts. I recommend people to stop all trading on BTC-E now. By Patrick Strateman (phantomcircuit) Fear and loathing in Bitcoin world, why is there so much volatility?As most everyone already knows by now, some currencies are more volatile than others. The volatility comes from out-of-balance market actions. That is, during some precisely defined window of time, there are more people wanting to sell than there are potential buyers, and vice versa. Sometimes these imbalances are exaggerated, which then manifests as rapid decline or appreciation of exchange rates of said currency. By Topi Kanerva (topi) Bitcoinica Legal Complaintparapipan has filed a legal complaint against the Spanish authorities. The complaint is that their legal status is unknown and requests for providing information are left unanswered. [libbitcoin] First 500 blockslibbitcoin is a toolkit based library and can be leveraged with different design patterns depending on the task or application. Previously we examined using libbitcoin using an active object pattern. In this example we will use an imperative style program to connect to a bitcoin node and download the first 500 blocks.

OK, here goes.
I'm now around 25. When I was younger I used to do lots of sports (boxing, judo, ...). Around 20, when I was wrestling, my arm got overextended and there was a loud 'crunch' sound. The guy doing it with me immediately stopped because he heard the noise. It was really loud krrrrnch sound. I didn't feel anything (adrenaline) so kept at it for the rest of the session.
After the session, there was immediately intense pain. I went straight to emergency and saw a nurse. She told me my arm was sprained. Looking back now, I know that was stupid (I know what a sprain feels like) but I didn't protest it and said whatever (assuming that it would go away eventually). During that week my arm could not be used. It eventually stopped aching.
From then on, I stopped exercising because whenever I would put pressure on that arm, I would get a dull ache.
Anyway fast forward to 1 year ago in Amsterdam. I was at some hotel and banged my elbow. the edge of the door frame hit the soft spot in between my elbow joint and there was a sudden shooting pain. Ever since then my arm was aching and sometimes I get tingling in my fingers.
I went to see a doctor when I was in Poland at the ER (4 months ago). He said it is a soft tissue damage and I need to rest my arm (I don't do anything anyway). I asked him what the best position is, and he said to keep it at a 90 deg angle (bent) rather than straight. If it didn't heal I should see another doctor in 2 weeks time. He told me it likely won't heal quickly (soft tissue damage takes a long time to heal) or maybe not at all, and there isn't much they can do about it.
It doesn't hurt. It just aches or sometimes I get a bit of tingling (which is worrying). I've put off seeing the doctor because I'm under a huge amount of stress for time (which is affecting my health, but OK I am having fun). It seems to be getting better, but I could be wrong since it alternates between periods of being fine, to periods of aching.
Using the arm in a funny way (weird twisted angle) or putting pressure on it (lifting heavy things) are not good, so I avoid those activities. It's a dull/slow ongoing ache.

So I'm running debian 6.0.4 (squeeze) and trying to get this installed for a small project. I'm just going to install it on an ubuntu system instead, but figured I would post my error log anyway. http://pastie.org/private/3jnuenhclxaf4f90wpbyfwYour g++ is outdated. @znort, try google-protobuf or something. And dont use the boost headers in ubuntu... they are missing async_connect function. Use 1.48 from boostr website as per instructions above. @Dusty, sure. Use the network component to connect to a bitcoin node, then fashion a get_data packet. Send it to the node and subscribe to either transactions or blocks. Then once you received the block and/or tx, create an exporter object to serialise them and print the bytes to the screen. Hopefully I can get this next tutorial out soon, and it will clarify some points for you. Just been very busy this week with exchange stuff :/ Constantly stressed for time |

Anyone who does business with this guy would be highly unethical. He has used the law (which exists to protect customers) as a commercial weapon. He has a conflict of interest. It is when companies (and large corporations) use the law in this manner that a society becomes corrupt. This guy is a promoter of corruption. i don't provide any kind of platform similar to bitcoinica, i don't understand your point As paraipan runs a business with competing interests, his legal filing is of dubious legality. This is termed conflict of interest. His role as a competing business has the potential to possibly corrupt his other acts in this area. Legally he has no role in this area. He is not a customer. http://bitcoinmedia.com/bitcoinica-legal-complaint/It does not matter. You're in a legally grey area by using the law in this way. And in a highly unethical way too. |
