141  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin client rounding up all TX fees to .01! on: July 23, 2011, 07:47:15 AM
Looks like you somehow spent a coin with 0 confirmations, which is why you got hit with a fee. Though why it was 0.0055 instead of 0.0005 is a problem.

The previous transaction is kind of odd though; I don't think that it should have had a fee at all.

Have you tried setting the transaction fee to 0?
Won't help. As I said earlier, if the change from a Bitcoin transaction would've been less than 0.01 BTC, it's automatically and silently spent as a fee rather than returned in order to reduce the accumulation of "bit dust". The first transaction presumably incurred a 0.0005 fee due the zero-confirmation 0.01 BTC input, but the client then chose to pay the total amount with a 0.01 BTC input and a 0.0055 input, leaving 0.0050 BTC of change which was too small to return and got thrown away as a fee. The second had 0.0115 BTC in and 0.01 BTC out, leaving 0.0015 BTC of change which is again too small and gets converted to a fee.

There's no way to disable this.

This should be changed Sad

Restart router, turn off UPNP in command line used to start bitcoind, and set up router how it should be set up. That, or get angry with your ISP! They might be using transparent proxies due to IPv4 issues, I don't think that's likely though?

Whoever owns 1MY3ypFCDSbFYnM9jw4YvPnCfEDQz9sGGE is a n00b and broke sharesrv by sending "1MY3ypFCDSbFYnM9jw4YvPnCfEDQz9sGGE\n" as their username. I fixed and hot-patched it, so everything's fine now, but stats weren't updated while it was broken. Also, the username is still invalid-- so it is being treated as donated shares like any other invalid address. Since this one might be non-obvious, I thought I'd better post about it to try to wake whoever it is up... how do you get \n into a username anyway? -.-

Always .trim() input.

And always use trim instead of (insert your language's default way of doing it here) to avoid incoming "your language is horrible" arguments trolling!

oh i thought you meant plex. hm i'll buy a time code from shattered for you for the equiv of 40$usd of btc?
Ok, at spendbitcoins.com Mt gox 24 hour average?

Oops, maybe I need to make a clarification: unused time code.

kookiekrak, that price = you make a loss at current Mt gox rates, are you sure that's not a typo? Cheesy
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What programming language to learn? on: July 21, 2011, 05:37:39 PM
If the question was, "which language is not to learn?" than I would know the answer: "PHP".


And why?

If I answer that I would probably offend a lot of people. So,  I'll pass on it this time.

Also, last time I checked axioms do not require proof.  Shocked



You started the troll...

My posts are reflection of my personal experience... which is rather relevant and extensive... if you do not like it feel free to ignore.

There is no bad language only bad programmers. PHP has the best documentation ever, the most servers running it and since version 5 allows object oriented programming... Sure it offers so much freedom that if you do not code clean your program will be a mess...

True, but somehow bad programmers tend to gravitate to PHP. It is like a bad neighbourhood which is best to avoid...

Friends do not let friends to do PHP, you know.


Bad coders don't make the language bad? Although it has no consistency in naming of built-ins, which is annoying, and no threading, which is really annoying, and tells you "Stop trying to use PHP for this you should be using something else", which can be annoying until you learn something else. The discussion in this thread makes me want to learn python, and mess around with C# some more.

Although I know I won't get good at them because I have nothing to code just now that I want to code in them, but I hope I shall eventually...

I'd like to buy an EVE online TC with BTC.

Anyone interested in selling? I can't purchase until saturday, if it matters.

http://www.shatteredcrystal.com/code.php/eve_online - One site selling

http://evecodes.com/ - Another

If you'd sell, tell me how much BTC you'd charge and I'll hopefully be able to say "yes, I'll purchase that". If you're well-trusted, I'll give my BTC to you first, otherwise, I'll try to get a well-trusted person to act as an escrow?(Anyone willing to do this?)

I'm amazed at how certain some people seem to be that bitcoin will fail.
I'm amazed at how certain some people seem to be that bitcoin will succeed.

It's a new currency, will it take off, and succeed with a large number of people? I'd like it to, but I don't know if it will. I think it's likely to succeed, simply for the hyper-low/no-fees transactions, and the anonymity that you can have with it.

But.... you're from the future!
I can't go around causing loops in the space-time continuum, now, can I? Cheesy

153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If SHA-2 is so secure then why? on: July 07, 2011, 01:18:54 PM
It is simply a good idea. SHA-2 is still holding up, but it seems that these hashing functions generally only last so long before someone figures out a way to decrease the attack space enough to make you uncomfortable, or to find a collision fast enough to make you question the theory (MD-4 being the worst).

Updating the client would be a huge mess though. There would have to be a hard coded block (probably) when all the clients switched to whatever the new algorithm was.

Old clients still would be made absolutely useless though, and would create their own block chain at that point.

It would not be good.
Block headers contain a version.
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If SHA-2 is so secure then why? on: July 07, 2011, 01:07:28 PM
You think they should wait until SHA-2 is broken to start looking for a replacement? Think about that for a second.
If they think for a replacement there is a reason, right? If they think for a replacement after 2012 why you shouldn't? Or you intend to use SHA-2 until 2140?
They need to make a replacement becqause the alternative is to wait until SHA256 isn't good enough.

Yes, bitcoin can change to not use SHA2

52% is the max I'd be happy with, giving a 2% chance of success.

Those are crackers and lammers, and maybe someone happens to be a hacker in addition. There is a confusion surrounding the meaning of the work hacker. Someone who breaks into computer systems is a cracker. Please read:

While this may be what you want the definition to be, it isn't, thanks to media ignorance. People "know what it means", so it means that. Sad
159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difficulty didn't go down, after all: 1 564 057.45 (old 1 379 192.2882281, 1.13) on: July 06, 2011, 09:56:25 PM
The network did shrink a little for the first time. But because difficulty is often delayed (it averaged the entire last two weeks, which it not where the network currently is), the difficulty didn't go down. It might go down next time if there isn't a big rally between now and then, but I'd give 3:1 odds that there will be.

Notice it poking under 0 recently in the 3-day growth rate. I'm happy, good mining.

A good portion of the down poking of the past few days can likely be attributed to the Ddosing of some of the larger pools and the ~60Ghash that switched to mining namecoins for a few days. And a small percentage of those 'at-home' types flipping the miners off.  Albeit that last one is likely very small in light of the whole, as is the 60Ghash estimate, it all adds up.

I'd take a good look at it again in another 7-10 days, giving time for new recently acquired hardware to come online and other factors(price increase again) etc.

My vote is it going up enough to drive the next difficulty estimate up to about 1.8mil by then from the current 1.727 estimate.

And it's the summer holidays for school children now - so more tiem taking over home computers to play video games. Yet another small factor? Smiley
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: July 06, 2011, 07:38:14 PM
After some trouble setting up, the namecoin client is now downloading blocks and the Phoenix miner is setup to start as soon as all blocks are downloaded.
I understand why it's not popular... The client looks like it's made in 1983... Tongue

I'll mine some Namecoins on one of my rigs to speed things up a bit Wink Can't let all of you wait till august until the difficulty drops...


Difficulty should drop in ~8 days, to ~22,000

Unless more people come in seeing it about to drop causing it not to drop Grin

Well, as you told me before: you are from the future so you should know...
I don't want to cause any kind of strange feedback loop destroying the universe, now, do I? Wink
